Pharmacy Phone 425 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.

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."
