Congress Is heading into a legislative jam which looks as. if it might become the most confusing situation in ten years. Anybody who bets his good money that this, that or the other piece of Administration legislation will pass, with or without amendments, stands an excellent chanctf of becoming an applicant for relief. Some legis lation which the President, wants will get through, of course, but which par ticular Administration bills, and in what final form, nobody can predict. And a lot will be lcift over for next session. There are several reasons for this confused state of things. First is the overwhelming desire of most members of both houses to get back home and find out just what their constituents are thinking about. There has been a heavy Influx of disquieting reports from all parts of the country, resulting in unsetling the minds of many good Democratic members of both Senate and House. A situation has this been created in which they are at sea as to just how far they will be upheld by the voters back home if they give undivided loyalty to the New Deal. Numerous of the most ardent New Dealers in Congress have begun to express themselves openly as being "afraid of the cars." No Congressman likes to get run over. Early Jane Adjournment The desire to end the session as speedily as possible is, therefore, grow ing 9D strong that It is almost irresis tible. There Is little likelihood that Congress will adjourn by mid -June, as some predict. It cant possibly pass the essential annual and biennial appropriation bills by that time. It Is equally unlikely that It will remain in session most of the suffitticr, af Key Men In President's Work Program WASHINGTON . . .

Top, right, Harry Hopkins, Administrator of the Pro- j gress Division. Lower, right. Secre tary of the Interior, Harold I Ickes, Chairman of the Allotment Board. some of the Progressives desire. The movement for a protracted session ori ginates with the group that hopes to put thrqugh some radical new tax leg islation, but the majority of the mem bers is not ready to talk about that yet. So the outlook & for adjourn ment about the 3rd of July, with a lot of New Deal legislatibn still pending. Another impelling reason for the desire to let everything lie over that can possibly be postponed, is that there probably will be no apportionment of of the huge work-relief fund until after congress adjourns, and members do not wish to be on record as voting in opposition to the President's desires on Administration legislation, until after the fund has been allotted to the states and districts. As a matter of fact there is no clear plan yet worked out for the spending of the work-relief money. It seems doubtful if much of it can get into action this year. Dodging Issues. Never before have Senators and Rep resentatives done so much dodging of issues and so much voting with tongue in cheek, as It were. The scheme works this way: the leaders of one house will not approve a bill in the form in which it comes to them; then they proceed to pass it, certain that it will be a mended, defeated or held up when it gets to the other end* of the Capitol. Thus there was an overwhelming vote for the Social Security bill in the House, but few even of its ardent supporters believe that the Senate will pass any thing like the measure which got through the lower House. The criticisms of and attacks upon NRA are having such an effect that there is not much chance of a new NRA measure being drafted or even attempted at this session, unless the President puts the screws on tighter than he now seems inclined to do. The best judgment here is the Con gress may by a simple joint resolution continue the present NRA set-up for another year> from June 16th, unless the Supreme Court, in the meantime, declares the whole thing unconstitu tional. The general feeling is the NRA is dead, anyway, except for a few large industries. Opposition To AAA There Is a more decided attitude of opposition toward any strengthening of the AAA. The revolt against the processing taxes has become acute, especially in the case of cotton, both North and South. Drought and dust storms in the West have made the feeble efforts of AAA to limit produc tion look ridiculous compared with what Nature can do when it takes a hand. There is great concern on Cap itol Hill over the reports of a revolt beginning "at the grass roots" against the increased prices of commodities af fected by the processing taxes. Con gressmen don't want to be forced to vote again for any sort of crotf control, or for taxes that every voter can feel nibbling at his own pocket-book. The additional billion and a half for the HOLC to aid distressed home-own ers in refinancing their mortgages is practically through both houses. Much attention is being given to the plight of the southern share-croppers, who have been in perenial distress for a couple of generations. It may take the form of a big appropriation to help them buy farms. There is a strong push behind the Bankhead bill, pro viding a billion dollars for that pur pose. GOP Stirring Again Politically, Washington is showing much more interest in the moves to rehabilitate the Republican party. The middle West is taking the lead, with Henry J. Allen and William A. White of Kansas holding conferences here preliminary to the regional conferences scheduled for this month. The pur pose is to try to get the various Re publican elements to agree upon a gen eral policy which will not try to be more radical than the New Deal . but yet be more liberal than the word "Conservative" implies. How this -will work out is anybody's guess, but visit ing Republicans the past two or three weeks appear more cheerful that* at any time since the 1832 elections.

Farm Products Used In The Manufacture Of ford Cars The important part played by farm products in the manufacture of Ford cars and trucks was described yester day by W. C. Patterson, manager of the Charlotte Branch of the Ford Mo tor Company, who estimated that the products to be consumed this year will include 500,000 bushels of corn, parts of 20,000 hogs and 30,000 cattle, 3, 200,000 pounds of wool, 1,800,000 pounds of soy beans, 69,000,000 pounds of cot ton, and many others. "Some time ago Henry Ford said he was convinced that the basic materials used in motor car manufacture which then came from forest and mine could be secured out of yearly crops," said Mr. Patterson. "That this prophecy was well founded is clearly indicated by a study of the various farm products that will be used in the scheduled pro duction of a million Ford cars and Trucks this year." Mr. Patterson pointed out that from corn comes butyl alcohol used for en amel finishes and other purposes, ajid starch for stiffening cotton linings Leather from cattle goes into uphol stery, and in addition, glues are made from cow hide, and from cow's milk, and other parts of cattle yield stearic acid, greases, glycerine and other by products used In the manufacture of cars. Soy beans are an Important part the baked enamel finish of a Ford V-8 and are used also in making cores for metal castings and plastic knobs and buttons in the interior of the car. Wool goes Into upholstery, floor-coverings, lubricants and anti-rust preparations. Cotton is used in tires, batting, cloth, battery boxes,* timing gears, brake lin ings, and safety glass. Other products involving farm ac tivities which will be used, acording to Mr. Patterson, are 2,400,000 pounds of linseed oil, 341,000 pounds of castor oil, 2,500,000 gallons of molasses. "Ford already has gone far enough to prove that industry can be a good customer of the farmer," he said. o FATHER FORGETS BY W. LIVINGSTON LARNED in The People's Home Journal % Listen son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled un der your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago as I sat read ing my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guilt ily I came to your bedside. These are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school be cause you gave your face merely a dab with a towel: I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor. At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play For Bad Feeling Due to Constipation Oat rid of eonetlpatlon by taking Bleak - Draught u toon a? you notice that bowat activity ha* slowed up or you bafla to tad (luggish.

"1 With refer ence to By rap of Black-Draught, which thl* mother glre* her children. ?ha aaya: "They Ska the taste and It gare saafe good results." BLACK- DRAUGHT and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, "Good bye, Daddy!" and I frowned, and said in reply, "Hold your shoulders back!" Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the road I spied you, down on your knees, play ing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before your boy friends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were ex pensive ? and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father. Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in, timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced over my paper impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. "What is It you want?" I snapped. ? You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me. and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the otau a. Well, son, It was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of repri manding ? this was my reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love jrou; it was that I expected too much of youth. It was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years. And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your char acter. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spon taneous impulse to rush in and kiss me goodnight. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bed side in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed! It is a feeble atonement: I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suf fer when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep say ing as if it were a ritual: "He is noth ing but a boy? a little boy!" I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother's arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much. o A sound mind in a sound body isn't the work of chaifce. Timely Questions Answered By Slate College Staff QUESTION ? How much grain should be fed to a dairy cow in addi tion to good pasture? ANSWER ? This depends on the maximum production of the animal. The average cow will consume only enough grass in a day to maintain her body in good condition and produce two gallons or about seventeen pounds of milk. For those animals producing more than 17 pounds, a grain mixture containing from 13 to 16 per cent of digestible protein should be fed at the rate of one pound of grain to each five to seven pounds of milk produced in a day. This will maintain the ani mal in good flesh and permit of maxi miim millr nrnHnrfciftn QUESTION? When should alfalfa be cut for hay? ANSWER ? the first cutting should be made when the flowers are from one-tenth to one-fourth in bloom. Where there is danger of leaf hopper damage the first cutting can be delay ed until the last week in May. This will, reduce the damage later in the {season but sometimes results in a poor quality of hay. Later cuttings should be made when the new growth is well started from the crowns.- The last cutting should be early enough to al low the alfalfa to make from four to six inches of growth before winter sets in. QUESTION ? What can I do to stop my chickens from picking out their feathers? ANSWER ? This trouble is most of ten caused by a tiny parasite called the depluming mite and can be con trolled by dipping the birds in a sul phur-soap solution made by mixing two ounces of flowers of sulphur and six ounces of flaked soap to five gal lons of tepid water. Hold the wings over the back and submerge the birds feet flrst until only the head is out of the solution. With the free hand, ruffle the feathers to insure penetration. The head should be ducked two or three times during the operation. Dip the birds early in the day so as to allow them to become thoroughly dry before going to roost. o Children are the best assets of any community; why not develop them fully. Beauty Culture--?
