WatohfnI Waiting

The president vetoed the bill reviving the War Finance Corporation on the grounds that it would benefit only n few and would only raise false hopes for relief in many. Congress passed the bill over the veto. Of course. the president is aptocratic, biggoted, con- ceited. cares little for the common veal, ana all that, but follow this war finance corporation, offered by congress as a speedy and effective relief for the farmers-and see just how far astray pr. Wilson went in vetoing the bill. Our guess is that by the time this cor poration begins to function the farmer will either have gasped his last breath or will have fought his own way out of his trouble

 It means that elaborate pains have been taken to product some startling innovations in the matter of illumina- ton. Imagine a waltz, for instance, which starts out with a full illumiua- tion showing the natural shades of the ballroom gowns; a minor strain IS struck and suddenly the entire swirl of dancers becomes a brilliant green, only to burst into a glowing red and then fale into a midnight purple as the theme of the music changes.
