Many of “the profession” would not dream of play- ing a first night through without a small black cat charm of some sort.

Enactment of a temporary or “em- ergency” tariff, for the benefit of Am- erican agricultural interests. « Passage of an anti-dumping bill to protect American manufacturing in- terests. Revision of the tax laws, with par- ticular attention to the so-called war taxes, including elimination, i§ pos- sible, of the excess profits tax, and substitution for it of .one or more forms of taxatjon; revision of the in- come tax: schedules, Enactment of ‘a new permanent ta- Tiff in place-of the Underwood-Sim- mons law, with schedules as high or higher than those of the Payne-Ald- rich and Dingley laws. 5 Enactment of a soldier honus law, providing for a mumber of kinds of adjusted compensation to ex-service men, including cash payments, in- surance, land grants, home owner- ship, etc. This will require enact- ment of revenue legislation to. pro- vide the money, although the plan is to ‘defer operation of the law for some time. Passage of laws reorganizing cer- tain government activites, among ‘which may be the combination of va- rious departments and reduction of personnel. Consideration of the transportation problem, with probable amendment of the Transportation act of 1920. These are the outstanding features of the program, though Harding may decide to include a number of others, among them enactment of anti-profi- teering laws to replace those sections declared unconstitutional this spring by the Supreme Court; measures de- sirqd by farmers-to enable them to ob- tair_credit more easily, etc. While the house is jputting in mo- ition the machinery necessary to pass the emergency tariff and anti-dump- ing bills, the senate is to consider the Colcmbian ' treaty, ‘under ‘an’ agree- ment to vote on the eighth day after the sessiom begins. There may be. a lively tilt over this pact, particularly over efforts of Senater Lodge to have it considered in secret. The. senate also will have a large number of nominations to consider, among them that of former Rep. Jolin J. Esch of Wisconsin, who falled.of confirmation as a member of the In- terstate Commerce Commission at the extra session of the senate in March. The shipping board and other import- ant posts are aleo to be. filled. Indicating their intention of put- ting the Harrison program through as guickly as passible, senate leaders have determined to impose the clo- ture rule, limiting debate, with res- pect to the emergency tariff bill. This may cause a long wrangle, with the democrats stoutly opposing it. Development. of Harding's foreign policy may engage the senate’s atten- tion Defore the session ends, though the present desire is to dispose first of domestic questions. Tle question of a separate peace with Germany, through adoption of the Knox resolu- tion or some substitute repealing the declaration of war, will come to the front scon after the session convenes, no matter what Harding’s position on the guestion ia. There is strong sen- timent for adoption of such a resolu- tion, and its discussion will doubtless revive in a measure at least the league of ‘nations debate. WOMAN LAWYER WINS Miss Rose 'Lerner, Atheti¢als first Hungarlan woman lawyer, won her first case in Trenton, 'N. J., recently when the judge decided in favor of her client, Frank Coombs, whose wife and children had been injured by a horse, falsely sold to him as a gentle and well-broken animal. Miss Lerner was born in Dunafold- var, Hungary, but came to this coun- iry when she was ten years old, liv- Ing: with an aunt in Patterson, N. J. She studied law in the University of Penncylvania, and received her di- ploma in 1917, but could not be ad- mitted to the bar until she had be- come a naturalized citizen. . This she did in 1918, and in 1919 started to practice in Trenton. MARKETS' HIDES Cow hides, No. 1 ..

Some of our family don't. like 1t so well, and travel away a bit. ‘But most ot us do not mind. ' “You'see, it is hard on many birds to stay where It I8 cold, for they only have their little feathers to keep them warm, ‘and while feathers are nice and warm, it i not always enough to haye only feathers. b ! “Feathers will often blow about in the wind, and then a little bird may become very cold, indeed. “Birds haven't ‘great fur coats to keep them warm. ¥es, Mr. Brown Creeper, the birds:'who go South in Ahe winter ‘and who travel about- to different climates are the onmes who can't keep warm when the weather is 8o cold.” “L do belleve yon are right, Mrs. Brown Creeper.

Religious: Observances That Take Place in Coldest Season of: the Year. A Japanese religious observance pé- culiar to the coldest seasorc of the year is that of bathing in. eold water and: wearing to and from-the bath a single” kimono ‘of ‘pure white, with ‘a white band about the head. The cere- mony, says the Japan Advertises fin a recent issue, is out of respect'to Fudo-san, the ‘god’ of fire, primarily. ‘Those observing the cust carry a lantern and jingle a small bell as they go along the street. The season con- tinues for thirty days. ; The first fiftéen days of the season s called the dafken, or great cold, and the .second fifteen days the sho- kon, or small cold, “Most of those who go through the ceremony. are young men, apprentices fn “som ¥ trade, who run to and from the bath, repeating the ‘words, “Rokkon Shojo,” as they go. The principal temple and bath is the one in Fukawaga-ku. The cold water ‘bath there was ' recently ‘Fe~ buyilt at a cost of 300,000 yen in an- ticipation, of the ‘cold season. It Is open for women only until 8 o'clock .| in- the . evening, but at-all: hours in, the day'for men. “Among the women are muany young actresses, who pray earnestly for success in their profes- sion. “Another Fudo shrine is near Meguro station, { We All Know That. “That old motto ‘Business before pleasure,’ * ‘safd Jud Tunkins, “means nothing more than in this world yon can't enjoy yourself unless you've got HINTS T0 GARDENERS Poison ivy cases begin to reach for a record’ as people get out into the open, says the American’ Forestry As- sociation.
