Developments in the present, lame duck, session of Congress makes it necessary for President Ruosr-; velt to call a special session of the 73rd Congress this Spri: He is said to be reconciled to that eventua and will be ready when it convenes, pre- sumably about the middle of April, to submit a com- | prehensive program Due to the confusion following friction over Con- gressional efforts to balance the national budget, Democratic House leaders prudently decided to forego further work in that direction until President Roose- | velt is inaugurated and the Congress that was se- lected with him can be assembled. That Congress is pledged to certain specific actions but these pledges are not technically binding on the present Congress When Speaker Garner and his aids uudertook to enact legislation to put them into effect immediately, | they found themselves unable to do so with the| narrow majority by which the Democrats control the House. The repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment is the most striking example of the difficulties under which they labored. It was beaten in the House by the “lame duck” members, More recently | proposals for tax legislation failed to. be accorded united support of the Democratic members. Sensing | friction over this that might be carried over to the; new Congress, the House leaders wisely decided to| abandon the effort and await the time when Presi- dent Roosevelt can assemble the Congress elected | with him: “THat his‘program will ‘be" enacted' without | any of the serious difficulties attending the present session is certain. The certainty that a special session of the 73rd Congress will be called within a few weeks puts a new aspect in the Prohibition repeal cause in the present session In some quarters there was ai tendency to accept the Senate's so-called repeal resolution on the ground that it would obviate the delay that would ensue if action had to await the regular session of the next Congress. The resolution “does not square with the promise made the country by the Democratic Pe in its national platform and by its Presidential candidate. It ought not to pass. Those who favor outright repeal, now that it is known the new Congress will assemble within six weeks after Mr. Roosevelt takes office, need have no hesitancy in killing the weak compromise offered by the Senate. RELIEVING DISTRE . Seeking to relieve human distress In the Pacific Coast States, Red Cross chapters had to the middle of December distributed 438,699 barrels of Red Cross flour milled from Government wheat, thereby aiding 422,848 families. The records maintained by the great charity organization show that 303 chapters located in every county west of the Rocky Moun- tains, except a single California county, submitted 1,010 applications calling for 438,699 barrels of flour to meet the need of slightly less than :the same number of families. How widespread the use of the flour in local community relief has been is shown by the figures recently made public by A. L. Schafer, Manager of the Pacific Area In Alaska 2,171 barrels were distributed and 2.- 196 families thereby aided; Arizona chapters distri- buted 35706 barrels to 36,383 families; California, 179,624 barrels to 164,453 families; Idaho, 26,620 barrels to 24315 families; Nevada, 8,765 barrels to 7,653 families; Oregon, 30440 barrels to 36,969 fam- ilies; Utah, 62940 barrels to 71,791 families, and Washington, 92514 barrels to 84064 families. Distribution throughout the country has been carried on in about the same scale. To December 10, last, 6,653,958 bar of Red Cross flour had been requisitioned by 3,504 chapters to aid 4,458,204 families in every State and Ter in the Nation PATENT MEDICINE FAKES EXPOSED.| Alluring, but unjustifiable, label claims that his patent medicine, “4-44," would cure or prevent 44 diseases resulted in the maker, Wilmot B. Nethery, being placed in the custody of the probation officer, Tampa, Fla., for a violation of the national pure food and drug law. Trading as the United Laboratories, Tampa, Neth- ery consigned his nostrum té a dealer in San Juan, P. R. He pleaded guilty to violation of the law and the Federal Court for the Southern District of Florida sentenced him to six months in -Hillsboro County (Florida) jail, but later suspended the sen- tence and put the defendant under probation Nethery's nostrum consisted essentially of water, epsom salts, with small quantities of phosphates, ammonium, sodium, and potassium compounds and certain other chemicals, and was sweetened Wwith sugar and colored with an aniline dye. He recom- mended it for 44 diseases, including influenza, indi- gestion, kidney, and blad\’ier diseases, sluggish liver, and colds. Alleging thet ‘the medicine was falsely f |to regulat |latures, which were not elected on the Prohibition and fraudulently labeled, the Government had prev- iously seized the nostrum. nce patent medicines labeled as cure-alls are invariably fakes, the buyer is always defrauded,” says J. J. McManus of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. “There is an even more important hazard in the purchase of worthless medicines in that the patient often relies upon them to improve his condition or cure the disease, and thus neglects proper remedial measures.” Twenty-six years of enforcement of the pure food and drug law has cleared interstate commerce of most of the fraudulent labeled medicines which once were so commonly sold. But enforcing officials find some quack medicines still on sale. Such sale ren- ders the preparation liable to seizure and the manu- facturer to prosecution. Every State whose Legislature has met this year and the Federal Government have reduced budgets below the figures for last year. Congress did the same thing last year. The Alaska Legislature. that meets here in March will be well advised if it follows suit. Is This Repeal? (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The Blaine resolution for modification of the Eighteenth Amendment, as it now stands in the Senate Judiciary Committee, is hardly a resolution for repeal. It is not surprising that numerous per- sons and organizations interested in repeal have hastened to make known their dissatisfaction with | the bill as it reads at present. The Blaine resolution gives the Congress power te shipments of liquor between States, and thus merely repeats a grant of power which Con- gress already has. Under this resolution Congress would have power to prohibit the saloon. Although return of the saloon would be unwelcome to most persons, it would be futile to return the power over liquor to the States and still retain Congressional authority which could perpetually meddle in the systems worked out by individual States. In effect| the States would have little power. 1 Finally, the Blaine resolution is objectionable because it provides for ratification by State Legis- SYNOPSIS: Farrell Armit- age, is determined to win Bar- bara Quentin, although Bar- bara is to be married ta’the cruel (and crippled) Mark Mark Lodely in five days. Leila Cane has expected Farrell to propose tc her, when he cons fesces his love for Barbara. Leila agrees to help him. So Farrell tangles Barbara's wed- ding plans by persuading Mark to visit him in London. Now, in a cupboard of Mark and Barbara’s new house, Farrell and Barbara nd a portrait of Leila by Mark. She is wear- ing the handsome emerald Mark has just given Barbara. CHAPTER 13, BARBARA DESPERATE “That’s a—an interesting—quite an interesting piece of work. it?” thought whatever that Barbara her extremity, ways speak. with that clearness; but the lingering | soft- ness of her voice had gone. It was ‘the voice of a woman harsh with fear and grief that said care- fully ‘and clearly how very techni- cally’ interesting was this revealing porirait. A heart-wrenching voice would al- issue and are so apportioned as to make a test of repeal utterly unfair. A fairer decision on. the new amendment would be had if it called for State conventions elected for the specific and sole pur- pose of passing on the amendment. Exact proced- ure under such a method is still obscured by legal difficulties. These objections are sufficient to compel the belief that the Blaine resolution is not a repeal resolution, but a modification, which would per- petuate much of the chaos now attending the liquor problem A compromise of divided authority and confused responsibility is not the sane way out. Time to Sell Hard. (Seattle Times.) Without in any sense desiring to indict American business as a whole, the statement may be made with entire truth that it had almost forgotten that the primary duty of the successful executive is to sell the products of his company. From 1914 to 1930 the United States had a con- tinuous “seller’'s market.” During the World War the goods with ‘which to satisfy a demand backed by extraordinary buying power. Later on came the era of “personal credit,” when the objective was to educate the people into more intelligent and more extensive use of their resources in this respect. Whatever of competition there was had to do with the manufacture of cheaper products, with the popularizing of goods, names or services or with the creation of new commodities and the education of the Nation to their desirability or use. Of hard, driving selling there was little because there was practically no need for it. ‘We have come to another period, in which the people still have high buying power but are reluct- ant to spend. This is a situation with which busi- ness men of the last generation were familiar; the doljar then was not a “poker chip,” but a stern reality to the masses, just as it is today. “Over- coming sales resistance” was the normal process in any deal and not a glib generality. In brief, we now are again in a “buyer's market.” Such a market presupposes salesmanship of the highest order; it necessitates intelligent and per- sistent use of every medium that will induce a public consciousness to buy. To the extent that such efforts are made, not only by individuals but by all the agencies of business, improvement in the general economic situation may be expected to result. Wilson’s Peace Formula. ¥ (Olympia Olympian.) Norman H. Davis, who has been acting for the United States in a series of international exchanges during the past year, tells reporters at New York that “we never really move very far forward unless we embrace the principles of Woodrow Wilson and use the machinery he was so instrumental in setting up.” In a Nation which has an almost pathological fear of dealing with the League of Nations, this remark probably will cause a good deal of dissent. But Wilson's great scheme for international co- operation, in one form or another, may yet prove the most valuable fruit of the World War. For it is an idea that must, sooner or later, be adopted by everyone; and while the existing League may well have to give way to some better organization, the principle itself is sound—and the years since the war have only served to emphasize the fact.

He was still quite unable to ook at her. He sWung away and walked across the echoing boards to the window. The cotton cur- tain tore from its rings as he dragged it back and leaned his forehead against the pane. He stood there for some min- utes, infently listening for a sound from her—any sound. He felt in- different whether she cried or cursed or pitched to the floor, pro- vided she broke down in some way. There seemed to be nothing to think abont except perhaps that it had been too easy a victory after all a mere walk-over. He turned. There had only been the faintest whisper of a move- ment, but she was crouched, palms down, upon the floor gazing al- most vacantly at the portrait. The emerald at her throat swung with- in an inch of its painted liken: Armitage walked back across the room and, bracing himself against the cupboard, stooped over her and picked her up. Her head sagged against his arm, her face had a greyness that he did not like. But she was not uncon- scious. He stood quite still, holding her easily; vaguely aware that she was not as heavy as she should be. Then she muttered—"M “Forget him,” jerked Armi “You were never his.

He was afraid | that he might shatter his first| moment in which she knew a need of him, however slight. She point- ed to a corner. “There are deck chairs over| there. Perhaps you'll bring one| nearer the fire.” He fetched it, installed her in it and took the chair she had va-| cated. He sat astride it, his arms/ folded across the back as hers| had been, but his head erect and| his eyes intent upon her. “It isn’t possible,” she said, “to judge Mark by normal standards.” She was lying back in her chair, her silks a wash of pearl and; fvory in the glow of the poor little | fire, her hair pure silver-gilt un- | der the sunshaded lamp.

Juneau was astir over the pros- pect of a new mine planned by! Boston capitalists. George R. No-| ble, representing Boston interests had secured options on Dr. Lev- itt’s interest in the Boston group claims, and also on the former Ebner interests in the same prop- erty which had been purchased by Judge H. H. Folsom. To these were added the Hallam property | consisting of about a dozen claims and the Dora group of five claims. Judge Folsom had received a check on the Boston group deal, and it was understood that a substantial payment had been made on the Hallam property. Mr. Noble, in Seattle at the time, had sent a fine driving horse and buck-board to Juneau to be used in his operations. and upon her hands—the shadows, thought Armitage, of her tears and her long endurances. He was in- finitely moved. Talk of Lodely seemed to him an intrusion. “I don't intend to judge him at all” he answered with indiffer- ence. “Hell go his way. Leila Cane will go hers” He paused and added gently, “and we shall g0 ours.” She did not return his gaze. She shook her head slightly, her own €yes upon the fire. “I shall go Mark's way of course, with Mark. But I shall always remember how good you've been.” (Copyright, 1932, Julia Cleft- n Addams.)
