The lob is used mostly as a defen-
sive stroke, when there is no chance
of passing an opponent. A high lob
over his head, besides wearing him
out. gives you time to recover and
get into position. Lob lower in at
tacking-first bring your opponent in
by chop, thm lob over him. Make
your lobs deep, SO there is no chance
of their being killed. The lob is a
more useful stroke in doubles play,
but is very handy in singles when
you are "all in" and want a little
breathing spell.

CONGRESS
WORK DELAYED
After Month of BiCkering,
House may Start Work
Early Next Month
By GEORGE II. MANNING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-After
one month of petty pickering and
time-killing congress is expected to
get down to work in January and
try to carry out its purposes as a
legislative body. The first month,
however, can probably be taken as a
fair sample of the temper which will
be expected throughout the session;
and on this basis the country can
look for little in the way of on
structive achievement during the life
of the sixty-eighth congress.
Appropriations for carrying on the
various activities of the government
will be made; and some sort of re-
duction of taxes will be effected; but
from these reasonable certain-
ies, nothing is at all sure.
- With the Republican party holding
but 81 of the 96 seats in the Senate,
and 225 of the 435 in the House, and
several members in each branch be-
ing of the radical element, not in
sympathy with the party leaders, it
had been realized ever since the last
elections that the administration
would encounter considerable diff
Guilty in putting through it's program.
But the full extent of the difficulty
was scarcely realized by anyone I'M
til congress actually convened on
December 8, and the strength of the
tnsurgent members of the so-called
republican side began Immediately
to make itself apparent in the fights
over organizations Of the two Houses
which have occupied the entire time
of the session up to date.
In the House, the election of
Gillett was held up for three days of
fruitless b~alloting while sixteen in
dependent representatives drove a
bargain with the leaders of the party
to which all but one or two of them
belong owe liberalization of the
rules of the House. With the con-.
oessions obtained by the insurgents
In this fight, they will fix the rules
SO that they will be enabled to hold
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-12-18

fight 1t through to the last ditch,
the net result of their realization
has been a spirit of resignation
among the majority of the Republic
can member sof both Houses.
Whereupon the first action of the
leaders after the organization had fl
nally been effected was to decide
to adjourn oyer Christmas. From
december p until after New Years.
TWO weeks consumed in organizing
the legislature for work; another
five days which will be consumed
principally in the adoption of new
rules for the House with constant
wranSling then the legislators will
Tor the most part return to their
respective homes for the holidays.
On their return, they will have
ready for consideration the consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting the
issuance of taX-free securities; a tax
reduction measure will probably be
reported shortly; and the first of the
appropriations measures for the
executive departments should be
ready early in the yea
That Is the prospect for the
Houses; in the Senate there will
probably be nothing of importance
accomplished until after the bills
begin coming from the lower body.
There will be endless oratory: ev-
cry member of the senate will prob
ably find time during the first month
to express himself for at least a
few hours on the subjects which
have been weighing most heavily on
his mind for the past few months
the foreign situation in particular
will provide a fruitful subject for
more OF less intelligent discussion.
Last year a new record was es-
tablished for the handling of the
supply bills of the government, the
last of the departmental appro-
priation measures having been re-
ported out and disposed of by the
House before the end of February.
