SOLONS BREAK
UP FILIBUSTER
Senate Held Until 2:40 A. M.
By Dill Objecting To
Nicaragua Survey
WASHINGTON. Feb. 28.—(/P)—
Efforts of its leaders freed the sen
ate from a one-man filibuster earl;
today after hours had been spent in
trying to defeat a comparatively
small Item In the second deficiency
appropriations bill.
Held at virtually a standstill un
til 2:40 &. m., by benator Dill, demo
crat, Washington, who objected to a
provision of $150,000 for a survey
looking toward the construction of
a canal through Niciragua, the sen
ate accepted an agreement proposed
by Its leaders to stop the talk for the
night and vote cn the measure this
afternoon.
When the hour grew late and few
er senators remained on the floor,
the senate was forced to issue war
rants for the arrest of the absentees,
but this method of. forceful attend
ance was not used as the number
necessary to transact business fin
ally straggled in and. tired and
thoroughly weary, all agreed to re
cess till later In the morning/ after
receiving the quiet assurance of
leaders that the fight against the
filibuster would be brought to a
finish.
Numerous roll calls, reading from
magazines, sharp words and a good
deal of good-natured by-play up
held the traditions of senate fili
busters not uncommon as a short
session of congress Is drawing to its
close.
The onlv assistance Dill was given
throughout the long session was a
short speech by Senator Norris.
The Washington Senator took ad
vantage of the senate rules to call
for frequent roll calls and quorum
calls to tide him over.

HOU8TON. Feb. 2.8—That 1929

mLuckies have helped me win the laurel crown

Stage presence demands a slim, youthful
figure. Rich foods cannot tempt me* I light
a Lucky and stay slender. The toasted flavor
of a Lucky soothes the craving for goodies.
Then, too, a Lucky never irritates my throat.
Even, after smoking many, my voice is still

a Lucky instead of a fattening sweet. Every

women retain a trim figure. Lucky Strike*
the finest tobaccos, skilfully blended, then,
toasted to develop a flavor which is a de
lightful alternative for that craving for fat

Toasting frees Lucky Strike from impurities,
20,679 physicians recognize this when they

cigarettes. That’s why folks say: "lift good

Cigarette manufacture by the application
of heat. It is true that during 1928, Lucky

the superiority of Lucky Strike.
