BUSINESS AWAITS COOLIDGE SPEECH
Meeting Of Congress Affects Market-SayS Bonus Bill
 Will Be Passed
By WALTER F. BROWN
 Editor New York Commercial Leased Wire to The AEe-HeraId


 NEW YORK, Dec 3.-For the first hour there was active trading in stocks Monday and prices were firm, but later some regularity deyel- oped when it became evident that the progressives in Congress would 1n- terfere with the organization of that body.
 Wall street is eagerly awaiting President Coolidge's message, which in the ordinary course would be de- Hvered to Congress on "Wednesday but which would be subjected to de- lay if the deadlock continues. The republicans will be forced to compro- mise except in the exceedingly re- mote event of some of the conserva- tive democrats voting with the re- pub1icans to thwart the plans of the progressives Those who are compe- lent to make predictions in regard to Washington affairs declare tha! there will be very little accomplished in the way of constructive legisla- ton during the coming session and about the only certainty is that some sort of bonus win be passed, although it is doubtful whether it will be able to withstand a presidential veto.
 o o O
 Taxation Big Issue.
 Tax reduction legislation may be- come a political football unless there should be such an outpouring of ptb- lie sentiment as to make it's passage imperative The probability is, how ever. that views on what congress may do will change from day to day.
 Wall street will be exceedingly dis appointed. as will the whole country for that matter, if President Coolidge fails to outline a constructive policy in his message. That document IS now in the hands of the Washington correspondents so that speculation as to it's contents is out of order Gary Is Optimistic.
 Judge Gary's statements as to the industrial outlook for 1921, supple mented by those of Charles M' Schwab expressing confidence in con : ditions made an impression upon those who are following the long side of the market. Efforts of the shorts to raid the market made llttle impression as prices snapped back in many instances in a manner that suggested caution to those who were thus venturesome.
 Commission houses in their week k- end reviews were generally bulllsh, although one or two were inclined to suggest selling on rallis. There seems to be a difference of opln1on as to whether the advance has been based upon improvement in general trade conditions or is merely re- bound after having been forced too far on the short side. The truth is that it is little of both. but as there is nothhing in the trade outlook to suggest a reactionary tendency the probability is that values will be maintained.

FRENCH ATTRACTION
Paris Revue Adopts New Method Tc
 Pack House


 PARIS, Dec. 3.-Three throbbing, lingering kisses in the dark from a beauteous French dancing girl is the magnet that is packing 'em in4a Paris revue theatre.
 The kissing queen mingles with the audience. Suddenly all the lights are turned out. Then she chooses some lucky stiff, enfolds him in a "Stran- gler" Lewis embrace and settles down to some scientific osculation. She slips away before the lights flash on amid storm of envious males.
 But every rose had it's thorn. The kiss lottery went wrong one night. When the lights came on an enraged and portly lady stamped out of the theatre, cursing the management and hauling after her a very embarrassed little husband.
 Close inspection of his face revealed three crimson imprints of rouged cupid's bow lips, a recently blackeyed eye and dreamy. 5eatific smilA

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

Probably the very excellence of the act, and the fact that 1t is so wholly out of the ordinary class as to rem der comparison difficult, accounted at least in a degree for the lack of ap- preciation shown Helen and Harriet Seholder at the Lyric Monday night. Those persons who recognize real musical genius, however, pleaded in vain for an encore. They were de- nied by the will of the majority.
 Helen Scholder Is past master of the piano. Her sister performs equally as brilliantly on the violon- cello. The program lists them as Americas own concert stars, direct from their European successes. Their numbers include Hungarian Tan- tasie," "Ungerische Rhapsodie," from "The Land of the Sky-Blue Water" and Mother Machree.'
 Next in order would come Herbert and Bolt, in slow motion athletics, probably the most difficult of any kind. Certainly their act was as difficult and as near perfection in it's rendition as the Lyric has ever pre- sented

 AT LoEw's BIJoU
 Long Live the King" Jackie LCoogan's latest picture, is now play ing for the week at Loews Bijou.
 In his latest production Jackie is backed by an unusual cast of sup porting actors. Picturesque medevial castles give the picture distinction seldom reached in the modern silent drama. Then there is Jackie's own acting, the natural and characteristic child expression that has won him place in the hearts of millions of picture fans. In his new offering he puts an unusual amount of the heart appeal and comedy that make his work differ from that of others.
 Aside from the picture the bill pre- scented was ordinary, and in few ex- captions did it reach the new stand ard set by the theatre. Kane, Moray and Moore as an opening act made a fair show as equilibrists. They in- troduced few new tricks in the bal ancng art and showed some remark able strength and endurance.
 Lee Manson and Stan Scott drew a | few laughs from their auditors with comis songs, which had a tendency 1 to border on the sensational. Heath and Sperling presented a somewhat | similar act.
 Harry and Willie Lander proved quite different from the rest of the bill and successful revived the lag | ging spirit of the audience with their hash house chatter.
 Dancing Shoes" with Miss Marcia | Compton and five chorus men, made a noisy closing act without present. l ing anything out of the ordinary in l entertainment. The dancing and singing consisted of the usual vaude- 1 vile and musical comedy steps J. M. c.

doubtedly enhances its value and bet
tiers its condition as a home.
L would also suggest the repeal Of
the constitution and statutes forbid
ding the mortgage of q homestead
and permit the husband and wife joint
ly to mortgage the homestead Tor at
least certain per cent of its tax
able value. As it is, one cannot mort
gage the homestead and if he is n
poor man all his capital is probably
tied up in the home and if he needs
money to go into business or to make
an urgent investment his hands are
tied and about the only thing he can
do in order to get money is to sell the
homestead, ana by SO doing he has no
home.
Our statute exempts to a married
man lone carriage or buggy" When
the trainers of this statute enacted
this law it was good law and the
trainers of the statute did not contem-
paite that the automobile would take
the place of carriage or buggy. The
courts have held that an automobile
is exempt TO a married man and is
now used in lieu of carriage or
buggy. Such is the case, but | be-
lieye that the price of the automo-
bile should be limited and not allow
a married man to own Packard or
Pierce Arrow that might cost $1,000
or $4,000 when the purpose and intent
of the statute was to exempt a
vehicle which cost from $50 to a few
hundred dollars.

sets its own bad example. Spain and
America do not class races like that
regardless of their education or fl
nancial standing. Tolerance" said
mouthful when he or she said Mex
leans class their women with the rest
of his household "chattels." The man
who has no more love or respect than
TO class his women folks better than
that, deserves no respect whatever.
The error Tolerance makes is.
that if the Mexican language was de-
rived from the Spanish then its bound
to be Spanish language. In Spain
you can tell the province they come
from by the expression Of speech.
Tolerance" you also state if the
Mexican are Indians they must be
true Americans. We have the Amer
lean Indians" and Mexican In
dams" American people are very
proud of their Indian origin so why
docs 4. G. Padilla ignore his or her
Indian blood. A. G. Padilla trace
your origin once and then answer me
il you're not a descendant of the
Mexican Indians. Now from here on
do not think that because a Mexican
talks Spanish he's Spanish. They are
descendants of the Mexican Indians.
Please don't confuse a Mexican with
a Spaniard. -
