New Congress To Be Controlled By The South Senator Bailey Is Slated For Chairmanship South Rules Congress With 29 Out Of 39 Chairmanships Washington.—The smashing De mocratic victories in two succes sive national elections have given the South a' strangle-hold control of the new Congress. The South will fill 16 out of 20 important House chairmanships, including the "big three”—rules, appropriations and ways and means —and will put Southerners into the chairmanships of 13 out of the Senate’s 19 most important com mittees, In addition, Vice President Gar ner presides over the Senate, and another Southerner , undoubtedly will be elected Speaker of the House. The wholesale slaughter of East ern Republicans left Western in surgents and liberals "riding high” in the Senate. They will dominate the minority blocs on virtually every Senate committee. Also, if and when the Senate becomes Re publican again, under seniority rules Westerners would be, in line for 13 chairmanships of the 19 j most important Senatorial commit- J tees. westerners, m tact, would nead five of the "big six” Senate com-; mittees—agriculture, finance, for- j eign relations, banking and cur rency and judiciary. The appro-; priations chairmanship would go to the East. The Senate, however, cannot go Republican for another six years. The one bright spot for Eastern Republicans lay in the House. If the Republicans can capture the House in two or four years, East erners would become chairmen of the House’s 10 most important committees, including the "big three.” i Only 10 less important chair- j -manships would go to Western Re- < publicans. All tbis, naturally, will ' depend on the survival of the in cumbent representatives and the House going Republican eventual ly The South’s control of the new Congress, however, was definite and immediate. Senator Joe T. Robinson, of Arkansas, once more will be majority leader of the Sen-, ate. Representative Joseph W.| Byrns, of Tennessee, will be ma jority leader of the House, unless elected Speaker. Beginning with Senator Josiah W. Bailey of Raleigh, it is a fore gone conclusion that he will be come chairman of the important Committee on Commerce of which he has been a leading member dur ing the past two years. He is now chairman of the committee on claims, in which post he has been able to expedite the payment of hundreds of obligations which the government justly owed, and which had been held up due to depart mental approval and the necessity to slash red tape. Senator Bailey is now fourth member in seniority on the Com mittee on Commerce. Defeat of Chairman Hubert D. Stephens of Mississippi makes the chairmanship vacant with Senator Duncan U. Baseball’s New Deal 1 NEW YORK . . . ABOVE is Joe Cronin who goes to the Boston American Red Sox as playing manager in one of baseball’s big gest deals. Boston is reported to have paid $150,000 for his release from Washington, the highest cash price ever paid for a player. The deal had Cronin’s okeh as he was offered a 5 year contract as player manager at $25,000 per year. . . . BELOW is baseball’s greatest, Babe Ruth, now in the open mar ket for a job as manager, with pen all poised to sign on the dotted line. . . . Boston Nationals, and the Philadelphia Americans are reported in the market for him. letcher of Florida vice chairman, senator Fletcher desires to r<“ i.iit he chairmanship of the Banking Committee which eliminates him ior the potentialities as chairman the Committee on Commerce. G. O. P. Not Dead Says Fletcher Washington.—In his first for mal comment since the Democratic election victory, Henry P. Fletch er, G. O. P. chairman, declared "The Republican Party is not dead and is not going to die.” Despite the overwhelming Dem ocratic majorities in the new Sen ate and House, Fletcher found solace from a Republican view point in the election results. He declared the "Socialistic New Deal” is bound to fail. He pointed out Republicans polled 47 per cent of the total vote cast, and lost but three million votes, against a loss of seven mil lion for Democrats compared to the 1932 total figures. v They tell us to have faith in our country, and anyway we have faith to believe it will never fail to send us our tax bills. Santa Claus Exhibits Toys He Has In Stock For Good Little Children! New York.—Down from his workshop near the North Pole, Santa Claus has sent nearly 1,000 samples of the toys he will leave for good little chldren this Christ mas. They are on display now in a building on Fifth avenue. It is called the American toy manufac turers exhibt, and ■ it shows that children are growing more inter ested in making things than in tak ing them apart to see what makes them run. There are steel and wooden sets for building bridges, elevators, doll houses, skyscrapers, bungalows, girages and miniature farms. Santa Claus says many children would rather have building sets this year than mechanical toys, which only have to be wound up. He has found that girls don’t care so much for dolls any more—-ex cepts the very little girls—and that many of them will want a chem istry set, or a microscope, or per-! haps an electric iron. There will be plenty of dolls for the very little girls, dolls with long s curls and lots of dresses. And there ^ will be doll houses with electric bells. Everything that you ride in is "stream-lined,” like the new trains and automobiles. Velocipedes, scooters and even doll carriages have "pants” on the wheels to cut down the air resistance. (Get dad dy to explain how it works). . James L. Fri, managing director of the association, said advance orders indicate Santa Claus will have about $200,000,000 worth of toys this year, an increase of 10 per cent over last Christmas. Lighting Equipment Important In Retail Trade as Days Grow Shorter . Proper lighting equipment is be-! coming a factor of increasing im portance as the days grow shorter and darker. Merchants, anxious to increase their sales this fall and winter, may find it both timely and profitable to make a survey of their business properties from the stand point of modernizing their lighting facillities, when reconditioning un der the Better Housing Program. Progressive business men have recognized that investment in scientifically correct lighting equip-i ment frequently pays for itself j many times over. It is a trade axiom that merchandise properly displayed sells more readily—and; lighting is a vital point in proper; display. Light experts, qualified to. give intelligent, scientific advice on j commercial illumination should be; consulted for suggestions. In preparing the general lighting' plans for the store, volume of light | is not the only consideration. There j can be too much light as well as j too little, glare being a common de fect. Consideration also should bej given to the quality of light. It is possible for a brilliantly lighted room to appear cold and repellant, instead of warm and friendly. The condition of illumination in a retail establishment has its effect on the store personnel as well as the customers. The depressing atmos phere of a dark store, or the eye strain of glaring lights may have adverse effect upon the disposition and the selling efficiency of the sales force. Installation of indirect illumination is now practical for: most business properties. Its prop- j er use can heighten the 'quality j atmosphere of the establishment. ; Modern show-case and counter I lighting can add greatly to the ef-| fectiveness of merchandise dis plays. Concealed lighting should be substituted for show-case lights which are visible to the customer, j Show windows deserve special at tention, and the carefully planned. | well-executed treatment is the one j which will please the customer and | increase trade. Depositors To Get | Extra 500 Million Washington.—Depositors in clos ed banks will receive an added 500 million dollars as a result of gener ally improved business conditions, Chariman Jesse Jones of the RFC estimated. Recent estimates were that such depositors stood to lose 2,5 00 million dollars. Due to ap preciation in the value of closed banks’ assets, the loss now stands at 2,000 million, according to Jones. They tell us to get rid of useless decorations, so the girls that just stand around and look pretty should look out they don’t get dumped, | Feels a Lot Better When Black-Draught Relieves Constipation From many states come reports ; like the following from Mr. W. M. Henderson, of Jasper, Fla: “I have been taking Thedford’s Black Draught twenty years. I take It for constipation that gives me a dull, tired, aching feeling, and I have headache, too. Black-Draught relieves me of this trouble, After . a few doses, I feel as good as new. I keep it in my home. I have a big family. When one of us is ail ing (from constipation), we take Black-Draught and almost always feel a lot better. It has been worth its weight in gold to my family.” ...

My recipe for renewing energy is to smoke a Camel. Camels do pick up my energy when I feel tired. And they have such a mild, delicate flavor!" STEEPLECHASE RIDER. Crawford Burton says: "Whether I’m tired from riding a hard race, or from a crowded business day, I feel refreshed and restored just as soon as I get a chance to smoke a Camel. So I'm a pretty incessant smoker, not only because Camels give me a 'lift’ in energy, but because they taste so good/ And never yet have Camels upset my nerves." Telephone Users Consider Quality and Dependability of Service as Paramount Telephone service is such an intimate, personal service that anything adversely affecting it at once becomes a subject of individual interest to the millions of users. Because this service has such an important part in your every day social and business life, its quality and dependability are matters of serious concern to you. service inferior to the high standard to which you are accustomed would not be acceptable, even at a lower price-. Recognizing this fact, the Bell System has always so shaped its policy as to insure the best and most dependable service that science and careful, farsighted management could produce, at the lowest possible cost consistent with financial safety. Due to this constructive policy, the telephone business has never earned speculative oroPts. In the best years of the Southern Bell Telephone Company’s history, and during a time when other businesses were earning large profits on soaring prices, the cost of the telephone service was kept at a level where the return on the investment was never more than In 1930. when the depression was first felt, these earnings declined rapidly and in 1933 they shrank to about 4% on the investment. It is obvious that further reductions of such already in adequate earnings would seriously endanger the financial soundness of the business, and be reflected in the quality and dependability of the service.
