ASK THIS FALL Congress appears to be about the most friendless body $1 the countr: Scarcely a good word was heard of the ses- sion just closed. The Republican national convention plainly placed Pre: nt Coolidge above Congress ; indeed, was moved to excoriate a titular Republican Congress itself. The Dem- ocratic convention will, of course, lambaste the Republican Congress. In all parts of the country much criticism is heard of our national legislature. The Akron, Ohio, Beacon-Journal, whose editor has him- self been a member of Congress says: @ personnel of Congress is growing lower in point of smal) politician, except in rare instances, didate for Congress. This is true in both juently the people are helpless. The choice ammer of small courage and capacity and ilk, both of whom know nothing of the nt, and whose statesmanship is limited to ious groups, blocs, societies, schemers and ping them to plunder the Treasury and en- upon the pay-roll His viewpoint may be constrained. Certainly in the eyes ef the members of Congress it is, perhaps, too, the fact that the lower house of Congress now has over 400 members and the Senate 96 is one reason for many of the difficulties be- setting che body. But the apparent lack of results from Congress, the in- crease of the bloc system, the tendency of members to place sectionalism above the needs of the entire country, are dan- ger points which may well be considered by the voters. Con- grcssmen will be elected this fall in all states. The manner in which the sins of the last Congress have been set before the people gives the voters ample warning of their duty. BULLET-PROOF Latest bank protection against crooks is ‘bullet-proof glass. At a test in Indianapolis, bullets from an army auto- matic pistol were fired at the new glass—which cracked, but “topped the bullets, none of them going through. The shots were fired from a distance of 15 feet. You'll probably live to see and use glass that can be bent } ke tin without breaking. A nightmare for glass makers. Bullet-proof glass strikes us as this year’s most striking new trick of the scientifie magicians. ALASKA Alaska still pours a lot of gold and silver into the Japs But she’s giving nearly five times as much wealth to her salmon canning industry. It isn’t true to the rules of romantic adventure, but there’s more in a tin can than in a gold mine. The greai rewards of life come from concentrating on production or distribution of the simple necessities, not prec- ious stones or gold nuggets. Select something that people virtually have to have, use a bit of brains—and success is inevitable. MAH-JONGG This game, mah jongg, according to Chinese scholars, was invented by a Chink fisherman named Sze to entertain crews of his fishing fleet when their ships were tossed about by the four winds. That was 20 centuries ago. The Chinese also invented chess, dominoes and playing cards. When chess becomes the national rage, thinking will have become less painful. There seems to be no agony more’ generally dreaded than intense, continuous thought. BANDED Over 8300 co-operative organizations report to the gov- ernment. Nine-tenths of them deal in farm products, and do a business of about 1500 million dollars a year. Co-op marketing has reached its greatest development in California. _ Problems of production are mainly sloved. Problems of distribution to consumers are steadily getting further from solution Too many young men are obsessed with the pro- cuction bug. The greatest opportunities are in distribution --short-cuts between producer and consumer, eliminating superfluous middlemen. , PIONEERS ; Many now living can recall when railroad building was in its infancy. People hitched up Dobbin and drove 20 miles or more to see their first train. Today our country has two and a half miles of railroad for every 1000 Americans. Total trackage is more than 264,- 00Q, miles. Practically all of this has come in 75 years. 46 With this precedent, it’s a ‘bit dangerous to predict that the airplane will never come into common use by the people. Airplane is no more remarkable to us than steam trains were te grandpa. , : CcO-OPS There is nothing new under the sun.. New York explores history and finds that, as far back as the Revolutionary War Yankees had co-operative associations like the farm bureaus and granges of 1924. And they had about the same purposes. _ After the Civil War came an epidemic of co-op market- ing organizations to find short-cuts between farm and con- sumer, and credit organizations to tide the farmer through evil days. Economic troubles are more hereditary than any disease.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON | “Tira—LIRA—LOO!” called John- ny Jump Up. “Wake up Nancy and Nick.” “lm awake!” answered — Nick quickly. “So am“I,” said Nancy. “Are we going away, Johnny?” “We're going to Spain,” said the little garden fairy. “Tommy _ Tit- mouse is all ready and waiting.” Soon both of them were dressed and Johnny Jump Up gave them} the magic shoes which they put on. They began to shrink up until you could have put the two of them into a mustard pot. Then out of the window and down | the vine they crept, and there they were in the garden. “I hope you will have a_ nice time,” called the fairy from the red rose, “Don't: you hope I'll have a nice time, too?” inquired Tommy Tit- mouse. “Are there any bugs and worms in Spain?” “The little Spanish lady laughed. “Yes, of course, there are, Tommy. As big as alligators.” “Huh? What's that?” cried the little bird. “Then you can just go there without me, Mebbe the bugs in Spain eat the birds instead of the birds eating the bugs “Oh, come on, Tommy,” said Johnny Jump Up. “Now who is doing too much talking? Here, punch ‘these tickets and we'll be going.” “Are the bugs as big as alligators, honest?” asked Tommy nervously, “No, I was only fooling.” laughed the little rose fairy merrily. “Go on! You'll have a good time.” Like many other countries they had visited, it was daylight in Spain although it was night at home. Mister Sun wakens the Spanish chil- dren and French children and English children and Italian children long before he pokes his nose up over the hills in America, Tommy Titmouse settled down on top of a mountin. “These moun- tains are called the Pyr-e-nees,” said Johnny Jump Up. “That's easy to remember because it sounds like pair of knees.” “Will you take us to a bull-fight?” asked Nick. “No, sir, I will not,” said Johnny, “sithough the people in Spain would rather go to a bull fight than to a circus.” - “Why, what’s wrong with a bull- fight?” asked Nick. “Everything,” said Johnny Jump Up. “They tease a poor bull with a red cloth—and somebody usually gets hurt. I think it's more fun to look at castles and things. There is’ one not far from here called the Al-ham-bra that is very old and magnificent. Come Tommy!” ’ “You won't let a poor fellow rest at all,” grumbled the little bird.

Now, the iron and steel industry has been hit harder \than any other basic line of work. Mills and furnaces have been operating, in fact, on half-time. On the other hand, shipments of iron ore down the Great Lakes, bound for the steel mills eventually, continued on a big scale during May. The total for the month was nearly 6,600,000 tons. And that was almost as much as in May of last year. igs From the opening of Great Lakes navigation this spring, up to the first of June, iron ore shipments were over half a million, tons ahead of the corresponding period of 1923. _ All this. plainly means that the iron and steel leaders expect the slackening of business to last: for only a short time. Ore is not mined and shipped on a huge scale unless buyers are reasonably sure of orders that will enable thets to get their money out of the ore they have bought, without waiting ‘any length of time. Producers don’t buy raw materials in large lots if they think a long stretch of dull business is ahead. Steel leaders with few exceptions say they see no reasqn for current dull times, and they expect early recovery. Another rainbow in the iron and steel industry is this: Mill and furnace production dropped from capacity or full- time operations to half-time in 60 days. By aJl past experi- ence, such a swift drop means that the reaction.will be an equally fast recovery to full-time work. The time to worry is when business gradually slumps for month after month. slowly going to pieces. Such a condition is apt to last a long time. It’s a good deal like the weather. A cyclone comes quickly but is over and gone soon. The storm that brews for a long time is the storm that lingers. Ac Tanglee.

MY DEAR PAULA: There are so many old saws, Paula MENTAL BURDENS | You will probably be surprised to get a letter from me. First, 1 want to tell you that I am coming out to California on another business trip, and I want to know: if you're going to stay in Hollywood all summer, and I should very much miss not seeing you, Then I, want to congratulate you on your latest picture, “Her Last Card.” You are improving every picture you make,.and‘I think that is the highest complimént I can pay you, In all thé others that you have presented’ you seem to have. been feeling your way, -but in “Her ‘Last been pointed out, rests not so much in repressing fear or worry, but in dropping or ignoring them.

I wonder if you have reached the place along life’s “highway ~ where McAdoo leads the list in this re- spect with a total of 297.” Of this number, however, only *164, are’ obli- and racky road which must be traver- sed by the Democratic national con- vention, as compared , with the | smoothly-rolled™ Coolidge’ thorough- fare down which the Republican delegates raced at Cleveland, can best be appreciated after a birdseye view revealing a few of the bigger bould- ers and deeper ruts which will im- pede progress at the New York meet- ing. The first big barrier is the tradi- tional Democratic requirement of a two-thirds vote to nominate. With 1098 votes in the convention, this means a minimum of 732 must be brought together behind one man before there will be a nomination. This is 182 more than would be needed for a straight majority choice. And if a majority is difficult _ to achieve, as is demonstrated in Re- publican conventions when the race is open to the field, how much more }+ difficult is accumulation of an addi- tional 182 votes above a majority! In analyzing the Democratic layout, on the eve of the convention, it is necessary to see just where the re- speetive candidates stand in the way jof instructed delegates. ‘i a vl thiek | YOU are able to get’a good ‘pérspec- gated to stick by. him, through’ thick] {9% "C0 “tose “experiences.

I've been wondering if you've found any one in Hollywood that in any way makes you forget your old friends. Now, I'm not going to make that old, banal statement, that I hope you have not done so, On the contrary, I am going to tell you that Lhope you have made new. friends that take the place of the old. In fact, I’m quite ‘sure you have, for you seem to be growing not only in your art, but in beauty.

McAdoo, the largest block of “instructed” votes will be those for Governor Al Smith of New York. Al has a total of. 143, of which 90 are supplied by his home state. These and the 10 from Rhode Island are directed to stay by him till victory comes or defeat overwhelms them. The 26 votes from Wisconsin are counted on to stick, though they are not unalterably bound. The remain- dear, that we like to think are true, that are not only false but foolisih; and one of them that “old friends, old shoes, and old wine are best,” is especially fallacious. It all depends, you know. ‘Out of the ruck of old friendships, one sometimes finds one or two that sat- isfy ag life, with its numerous changes of environment and inter; ests, goes on. Unfortunately oné’ taste in friendship changes as one’s taste in shoes‘or wine changes. If old shoes are worn over at the heel, and the insides of them do not con- form to your feet, they become un- comfortable—they don’t fit; and old wine often tastes more of the cork than of the fragrance of the grape. I never wear old shoes, principally because I don’t like the looks of them. They do not fit. my, beautt- loving soul. And old wine in these Volstead days is apt to be spurious. I know very well the people to whom I swore in my own mind unswerving fidelity in: my youth would not ap- peal to me, if I should meet them again now, after years of absence. We have gone very different ways and now look at life from very dif- ferent viewpoints. Do not misunderstand me, dear Paula, There have been both men and women whose’ friendship ef years standing I still am very glad to hold in-my heart. But I have also made new friends who mean quite as much to me. I find great joy i ing new people and mak- ing m nds, and I hope that you have found this great thrilf in life as well as I. ‘ (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) ing 17 may, if they choose, desert after one ballot.
