CONTROL OF NEW - CONGRESS HANGS ON VOTE TODAY Next House and Senate Will Pass on Many Important Measures, By United Press NEW 1 ORK. Nov. 4.—The Congress which within the next two years will vote upon vital national reforms —taxation, railroad ownership, farm relief and the Supreme Court —is be in.a chosen at the polls today. An entire House of 435 Representatives and thirty-two of the ninety-six members of the Senate are being selected.

When that amusing old braggart, Major Hoople, begins his bluff and bluster in “Our Boarding House” every night, thousands of kiddies —and grown-ups—-shake with chuckles—for he IS funny!

“Why Mothers Get Gray” Who can’t remember such incidents in their “kid days” as the characters of this strip always have. Their troubles are enough to make a mother gray, but the reality of them just makes them all the funnier. What mother can’t recall the time when Jim fought the railroad gang?

“The Old Home Town” The village comes into its own. With the result that every one can find an easy excuse for a series of chuckles in “The Old Home Town.” The more you read it the better it gets, but the first day you begin starts the mirth right off. It’s deserving of the name, “comic strip.”
