If no call is issued, there will be no Congressional session until next December. It is clear that a large part of the business of an extra session, were one called, would be tinkering with laws now on the statute books, or passing laws which should pass at this session of Congress. In the next two months Congress ought to dispose of the major measures on its calendar at present, including the statement of a policy, at least in the troublesome Muscle Shoals question. ‘ It is doubtful if any good purpose would be solved, by an attempt to revise the tax laws of the nation during an extra session. While the present tax measure leaves much to be desired it perhaps would be harmful to attempt to revise it during the extra session alone because of the uncertainty which would be held before business during a period ex- pected to be a prosperous one. The tariff law may be changed by a commission and the President. There appears to be no pressing international policies to be determined. Congress has been in session pretty steadily since the end of the World War. A long vacation giving the many Investigating committees an opportunity to investigate to their heart’s content and a period of reflection for legisla- tors and people alike might help the country. PAYING WAR DEBT The British government has so far paid Uncle Sam more than 323 million dollars to apply on the 4600 millions it bor- rowed during the war. The figure is larger than most people realized. Britain is certainly entitled to American respect. These payments have not been easy to make. British taxes are extremely high, the highest income taxes in the world. Her foreign trade is leaving her in the hole, imports exceeding exports by more than 1000 million dollars a year. And France and others are not yet paying what they borrowed from London. FUN What did we do for amusement before we had the movie and auto? People often ask. For one thing, we worked long- er hours and did not have so much spare time. Many spent their evenings with a bottle at the poor man’s club on the corner. Prohibition paved the way for radio, mah jongg, cross- word puzzles and an endless chain of similar diversions to follow. We'll have a lot of time-killing fads as years slip by and people seek new substitutes for alcoholic exhilaration. BUSINESS WOMEN Nearly two million American women are engaged in business, but only 40,000 of them are “bosses” —owners, managers, officers, foremen and overseers. This is the esti- mate by Bureau of Vocational Information. Maybe only 40,000 are bosses in name. But thousands of others are bosses in effect—powers behind the throne. A private secretary frequently knows more about a business and is more vital to it than her employer. If all the secre- taries struck, there’d be a mighty exodus from golf clubs. FORD A POET Edison calls Ford a poet. He says Henry couldn’t have his imagination unless he had the poetic temperament. All inventors have the imagination of poets, Edison sug- gests. He adds: “To be commercially succcessful they must have the practicability of an Irish contractor's foreman and a Jewish broker.” Success requires the ability to dream and the power to make the dream come true. Imagination is any man’s great- est asset—if it is kept in bounds. ALASKA The next state to be added to our Union will be Alaska, now a territory. Alaska aspires to statehood within four years, according to its governor, Scott Bone. Its great handicap is its slow-growing population. But Alaska now hovers around 60,000. But Alaska has vast natural resources, and when these begin to be developed the population will increase swiftly. At present there is only one inhabitant for every 10,000 square miles of Alaska. . INSTINCT A herd of Kentucky deer was sold and shipped to Penn- | sylvania. Two of the deer return home on the run. How did they find their way over the 700 miles? Animal life has a sixth sense that is lacking in people. It may be that this sixth sense is closely related to the psychic force which some individuals apparently have. PENSIONS Uncle Sam to date has paid out about 7000 million dol- lars in pensions to veterans and their dependents of our various wars of the past. Over half a million Americans are now on the pension rolls. The bulk of payments have been to Civil War pensioners. : The day may come when veterans of peace will be paid old age pensions. Then again, it may not. TONNAGE OF SHIPS Tonnage of ships built throughout the world in fiscal of the war.

Several Cabinet Changes Likely BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer Washington, Jan. 3—White House statements that President Coolidge will make only one cabinet change March 4 undoubtedly are true, liter- ally, but inside “dope” is that he will make quite a number not long after that date. Probably they will not be made in a bunch. “That would be too ob- viously a “shake-up.” But for one ostensible reason after another, secretary after secre- tary will drop out until, perhaps in the course of a year, at least six all,the scrapes that he (Jack) gets into—he cannot be so conceited as to think that Carton is doing it entire- ly for him. I think, of course, that Sydney is in love with Leslie. I believe I wrote you that. 5 It is a most astonishing thing to me that so many husbands are apt to think that their friends are nice to their wives because of the friend's brotherly love for themselves. Of course, Leslie was greatly hurt that her husband would neglect her so at that time and that brings me up to date.

Baron Aladar von 'Gedeon will move to western Canada from Hungary next spring. He will bring with him his 5000 tenants who have been living on his European estates—1100 families in all. The baron is buying 200,000 acres of Canadian farm land for his mighty flock. Canada is pleased at the prospect of, immigration on such a big scale by hard-working, law-abid. ling people. We Americans have closed our gates, to considerable e tent. But Canada, hungry for settlers, is like what we weg # ;years ago when hordes of Europeans moved into the Missi sippi Valley and other districts, eager to put the. soil to wor | Baron Gedeon, and his army of followers, it develoy are leaving Hungary because they are dissatisfied with t; way the map has been redrawn. In a sense, they are p tical refugees. A greater inducement, we imagine, is the prospect of caping from European war debts, which impose a terrific ta. burden on peasants in particular. ; This newspaper occasionally has predicted big-scal migrations of debt-wearied Europeans to other countries 'It stands to reason that, especially in the former Centra Powers, the people will not placidly continue to reside indefi nitely where the economic pinch is so tight. It is huma nature for a man to move with his family when the tas. of making a living looks hopeless. , Baron Gedeon heads one of these predicted exoduses. Millions will leave Europe—if they can get out. Gettin¢ } out,may not be so easy. Some countries over there already have the doors locked in an attempt to keep people at home. Russia is the most outstanding instance, with a gignatic smuggling organization to sneak emigrants over the border. As time goes on and Europeans waken to the truth of their predicament and begin to depart in multitudes, govern- ments will take drastic measures to keep them at home. A ‘ering from wartime overpro- set by certain goings on to see how very black they were, for by travel- {ing up and down so many chimneys, jthe Twins had become almost as {sooty as Johnny Sweep himself.

And the worst, say; New York, Jan. 3.—New York is in its ugliest winter mood at seven o'clock in the morning. Then the lights are turned off and the sun has not yet battled its way through the gray shroud that envelopes the city. Then the electric luster is gone and the face of the city seems like me faded jade without rouge and stick, seamed, soiled and repul- sive, It is the hour of penitence. The swinging flesh pots have come to a stop. Lackeys are hurrying to clear away the debris of dissipation before the sun reveals its sordidness. Sack cloth and ashes replace cap and | bells.

The torrent obf humanity which follows never sees the gray. When day turns to night there is no grayness. Lights are turned on before the sun is down. New York lives for the night. And so it is that many here live on from year to year only in a bright- lighted turmoil, knowing no tran- quil moment, knowing nothing of the seven o'clock hour of gray ashes, of penitent meditation, of the drabness of life that underlies all of the glit- ter. Maybe they see only a small part of life, but, after all, they see what they want to see—and are happy in that. —JAMES W. DEAN. Wrinkles in the face dre nearly al- ways an unwelcome surprise.

Secretary of Agriculture Howard M. Gore is governor-elect of West Virginia and will retire from the cabinet March 4 to accept this new office. Davis to Go Secretary of Labor Davis is likely to be next to follow, as he has busi- ness interests of his own to which he wants to give all his attention. Secretaty of War Weeks is under- stood to be certain to quit before the end of 1925, though not by the president’s wish. The White House says officially that Secretary of the Interior Work can remain as long as he likes but in political circles the impression is that this will not be long after March 4. It is no secret that the administra- tion never has been suited with Sec. retary of the Navy Wilbur's man- agement of his department, despite the fact that he is a Coolidge ap- pointee. Postmaster General Harry New did too good work in Indiana during the late campaign . to be thrown overboard but it is reported he will get some other good federal post.
