Start Campaign To Stop Stamp Licking A campaign has been started hi france against what is called the “pernicious habit" of licking stamps. “This habit,” we are assured, “is dangerous. Microbes are carried by stamps. Even poisons may be absorb ed from the dyes.' It is certainly unpleasant to have to lick any considerable number of stains one after the other, and most people who have many letters to stamp use a sponge or a gadget of some kind for the purpose. But there is really no need for alarm. Similar "seares” have been start ed from time to time about paper money, or even about coins. But they have never caused any of us refuse money.—London Answers.

December 14»15 What Congress Will Attempt At It Session Which Just Started (Prom Barron’s.) Consensus of best information as to probabilities and prospects for the coming session of congress may be listed as follows: Organization: Democrats will control the house by a narrow mar gin and Republicans the Senate, but, only nominally. Hoover Moratorium: The lirst major work of the session will be to approve the President's action in suspending inter - governmental debts, with some very vocal opposi tion. Taxation: The present revenue bill will be revised probably with some increases in the higher-income brackets and some new excise or sales taxes. Other features are un certain. Soldiers Bonus: Agitation contin ues despite the state of the Treas ury and despite the stand of the American Legion against full bonus payment. If congress does pass a bonus bill, it probably will not be in sufficient strength to override a presidential veto. larui: uemocruK win nnu oun culty agreeing on a plan pf action, and activity is likely to be confined to building the record of 1932 rath er than toward any real intention to pass major legislation. fto Change In Farm Act. Agriculture: Except for clear un derstanding that further stabiliza tion operations are not to be at tempted. it is unlikely the Federal Farm Hoard or Federal Agricultur al Marketing Act will be disturbed in any essential features. The ex port debenture or stabilization fee may be passed by congress, but the president will likely veto the bill. Utilities. There will be much dis cussion, pointed to the presidential campaign next year, but new- enact ments are so unlikely as to be al most out of the picture, with the exception of Muscle Shoal3 legisla tion, which seems to have a chance. Appropriations: Due to the state; of the treasury and to democratic desire to establish an economy rec ord, the house, which originates tin money bills, will co-operate with the administration in holding down expenditures. World Court: So little present public interest is shown on this sub ject that it may be postponed If a vote is taken, the chances arc for American entrance. Some New Hank Bill l.ikelv. Banking; Chances of some enact ment are steadily growing but have not yet reached the stage where prediction of final action can be made. There will be hearing and much discussion of banking relorm. A bill creating a system of mort gage discount banks probably will ucceed. and the capital of federal land banks likely will be increased Unemployment Insurance: There will be much discussion but little chance of real action. Prohibition: Practically no out luok for a change through any con gressional action. Relief: There will be much de mand for federal appropriations in various forms with results as yet un certain. Railroads and Transportation: Repeated failures to legislate on this subject would indicate no action soon.
