Congress Faces This
Week Important Issues
Senate W!M Vote Again Tuesday on
Pott*! Salaries Measure—Museie
Shoals Problem and Supply Bills
Meat
Washington, Jan. 4.—With only
two months remaining before sine die
adjournment March 4, Congress is ex
pected this week to dispose of several
important issues which have been
hanging fire since the last session,
apong them the postal pay question
and the McFadden banking bill. The
Senate has agreed to vote again Tues
day on the postal salaries measure,
vetoed by President Coolidge, while
the House expects to reach a vote by
Saturday on the McFadden proposa).
Other legislation including the Mus
cle Shoals question which has been be
fore the Senate for some weeks, will
be laid aside tomorrow for a discus
sion of the postal pay and rate pro
blem. It is expected that attempts
will be made to put through the ad
ministration bill providing for in
crease:' in both postal rates and sal
aries and, in the event of its failure,
send the vetoed salaries bill back to
committee.
Such developments would come be
fore 4 p. m. Tuesday, the hour set
for a vote on the question of sustain
ing the presidential veto, with the
possibility that action might be taken
by the Senate which would make a
vote on the veto unnecessary.
After the postal question is out of
the way, the Senate again wiii be in
position to resume consideration of
the Muscie Shoais probiem, and to
dispose of the annual supply bills,
none of which has been taken up as
yet.
In the House, appropriation bills,
four of which already have been pass
ed, will be relegated to the back
ground tomorrow to permit considera
tion of a wide range of measure on
the unanimous consent calendar. Ac
tion on these bills will be made possi
ble by the announced decision of sup
porters of the Howell-Barkley bill t*
abolish the railroad labor broad no!

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS
A subscriber sqnds the following
dipping from some paper, not stated:
Aimost everyone is famiiiar with
he picture of the grim Pitgrim, ac
ompanied by his wife and child, on
heir way to attend Thanksgiving
Orviccs at the meetinghouse.
The Pilgrim is armed with prayer
ook and blunderbuss. Ilis eye is
eeicd for danger as ) 6 trudges
h rough the snowclad forest. He
Iocs not see the crafty Indians, hid
en behind trees, merciy waiting for
n opportunity to make human pin
ishions of the entire famiiy.
This picture was supposed to de
pict the dangers braved by ti c early
tettlers as they wended the'r ways
to give thanks for another year's
hicssings.
The mo^tyrgys^ who starts with^
ds famiiy to attend a Thanksgiving
crv'tc braves dangers of which the
'ilgrim iittig dreamed.
Perhaps there are no Indians hid*
ng in titc shrubbery, but before the
itizen can reach his car, parked
cross the street, a highwayman
nay assault and rob him.
One,, the car is under way a hi
acker may take him for a rum run
ner and open fire. A deputy sheriff
nrobabiy wiii appear and announce
that he is there by firing a few stray
hots. If a poiiceman is in the vicin
tv he wili shoot first and inquire
ater.
, An airplane flying low is likely
n drop a hot-water bottie on his
head.
There arc dangers of read-end coi
isions apd those of the head-on
tind.
There is tl e road hog who crowds
he modern i'iigrim into the ditch.
.There are biow-outs, broken steer
knuckles, biinding headliAts and
jg&de crossings.
Assuming that the nwWngnouse
-r the oid home piace is reached,
here is the danger of being run
town in trying to negotiate the dis
anre. ett foot, from the parked car
o the front gate. If travei is by
rain or traction countless dangers
re aii ahmtt.
No sooner is the Thanksgiving
dinner devoured than ptomaine poi
oning begins, something the eider
'iigrim knew nothing about. Con
idering aii these dangers it is no
render so many men piay goif on
hanksgiving morning—and even on
he course a citizen is iikeiy to be
caned by the amateur who never
hinks to shout "Fore."

THE NEW YEAR IS YOURS; MAKE IT

THIS is scheduled by all business prophets to
be a year of quick action and economical sell
ing methods. Which means that it will be an
advertising year. -
It will do for you just what you make it do.
Father Time is a costly employee if he's al
lowed to loaf. He's a thrifty one if he's kept
at work.
An advertising program that makes Time
work for you, instead of getting his board and
lodging free, is your best plan of action for a
prosperous and happy year. ,
