Old-timers, as they look over the situation, suggest that Congress will not do much of anything between Dei ember 6 and March 4 except talk. For various reasons, action will be difficult. The S< nate will probably talk at length about the World Court, but do nothing to change the status of this country's qualified application for membership, which the other members are discinclined to accept. There will be a great deal of excited debate in both houses about what to do about income taxes and the treasury and possibly some sort of legislation on that point. T1 diversion of water from the Great Lakes by Chicago, for drainage and navigation, will come up for discussion, and probably bring on a bitter wrangle between the two groups of law-makers representing the Great Lakes iad tlie Mississippi Valley. That issue, however, may be settled by the Supreme Court during the winter, and thus taken out of the hand* of Congress. There will be a fight to reduce the army and navy expenditures and personnel which may or may not succeed. Farm relief will enlist attention, as usual, anti what will be done about it, if anything, is anybody’s guess. The ‘ iu of Muscle Shoals will be consiih :ed. with a view to final lutio:.. and with some insistence on ei'alio <>< oju i atioli under tile War Department, which has made a good record with the Shoals plant this year. •, For the most part, Congress in this session may be regarded as less a legislative body than a reflection of tjie national state of mind. If no djfiuitc ac'ion is taken about important mat: tx. it will be largely because th< public lacks clear ideas and purposes about national issues. One quite often hears the express ion, i’.ill Jones always was a lucky fellow." When former Governor Cox. of Ohio, planned a building for his paper, he Miami News, in Florida, several years ago, he checked Ofer tin.- plans drawn by the architects and said: "This building is going to be bunt in the t opics. Is the construe-

lion : ui h that 1 can get hurricane insurance on if.'" The architect didn’t know, fox told them to find out. The result was that the building had to have additional bracing at the corn era. But, the cost of this was only I .<*Kl. and Governor Cox got his hur- : rieape insurance. After the hurricane »!ii. ri w;c< ■■ I. o many buildings, the Miami News tower, zaid to be the highest inhabited structure in the tropical world, came out with only a tew broken windows and some water in the basement. Was Gover-' nor Cox any more “lucky" than the' owner! of other buildings which were < oiupletely demolished or badly wracked by the hurricane? Apparently, there was no luck about the fact that his building stood. He ; imply used good judgment which even h.is architects failed to show when designing a building for the tropics. The biggest demand for appropriations in the coming general assembly will i ome from the educational

institutions and while we are all for' T them and want our schools and col ; leges to be the superior of any in the country, there is a limit to what can 1 J be done and there is the opportunity ( for every member of the budget comr. r mittee and every member of the H legislature to use good business r ment. By doing this they should be able to meet those demands which ] ’.■can better educational facilities and >2 disregard those demands which do l> not bring results. V . J ! D Help Guy Brown sell 100,000 Christ-' 5 0 mas seals in Adams county this year. 0 This is not a drive, not a campaign. I not a hardship. It should be a pleasI ure for you to purchase a few stamps i with which to adorn your Christmas' packages and at the same time help! the society whose whole desire is to do a share towards stamping out tuberculosis. And the fine thing about it is that such great improvement . resulted from the money thus raised .w past years. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving and k ’ then just a month until Christmas. If yen are going to get ready for these occasions without too much of a rush to enjoy them, better be starting at lotice. If you will read the advertise-1' meats in the Daily Democrat from < lay to day you will find it easy but I I of course you should take advantage I of the knowledge thus gained by do- ' I ing your shopping early and that | means —NOW! ] Its a hard life. After the news- ] papers have been trying for a hun s dred years, more or less, to convince 1 the fool not to rock the boat, hunt for I a gas leak with a lighted match or x do a lot of other dangerous things, > * i , including beating the train to the crossing, and just about when we begin to think we have succeeded along comes prohibition and now we must spend another century to teach him the danger of drinking moonshine and bootleg. A dollar for Red Cross is a dollar for the aid of those in distress when they need it. No society in this or any other country so well exemplifies the desire of the people to help their fellow men. Don’t put it off. Give your dollar now while the drive is on. Indiana meets Purdue tomorrow in the closing, game of their schedules for the football year. It may not be such a wonderful game but you can oet It will be a light arid Very uiUvhin earnest. We will feel more like celebrating 1 Thanksgiving if about a half dozen property owners along the Monroe road will come in and sign up ease-, ments so the improvement Os the road can proceed. —o—- ♦ ♦♦ + + <•♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*! * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + ♦ * + Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ !
