NEW CENTURY CLUB

The Milford New Century CluE
held its weekly session in the club
rooms on Monday afternoon at three
o'clock with the president, Mrs. c.
H. Nutter, in the chair. After the
routine business, Mrs. Elizabeth
Riggs, chairman of the day, had
charge of the program.
This program was carefully ar
ranged and was appropriate to the
Thanksgiving season and furnished
a delightful afternoons entertain
ment. Mrs. Samuel Welsh gave a
timely reading "The Thankful
Heart" by j. Herman Wallace, and
this was followed by Mrs. Disston
w. Jacobs in one of her pleasing So
los, Autumn Song" by Lowden,
Mrs. E. 7. Hurley at the piano. An
other delightful feature was the
reading of Longfellow's poem "The
Courtship of Miles Standish," by
Mrs Welsh, this being interspered at
intervals by suitable music and tab

Mrs. Elizabeth Riggs was charm

role of the bashful lover, John Aid

piano duet, Clifton Hayes march
Comrades in Arms" played in per-
feet unity and harmony by Mrs.
Riggs and Mrs. Heebner.
The club hostess, Mrs. o. D. Ack-

on the League was continued, but no
action was taken on the World
Court. He recommended legislation
for the reorganization of the Fore
ign service, and this was adopted,
with prospect of great improvement
through the brighter prospects Of
fered for men who enter that SER
vice. He recommended provision for
more effective enforcement of the
prohibition law, and this was grant
ed. He recommended enactment of
the general features Of a plan for
reorganization of the executive de-
partments, but no action was taken.
He recommended that the Muscle
Shoals property be ordered sold, hut
this recommendation was not fol-
lowed.
One of the live subjects of discus
sion at the last session of Congress
was the status of agriculture. Pres
ident Coolidge opposed various pa
ternalistic schemes that were being
advanced, asserting that "No COM
plicated scheme of relief, no plan
for government fixing of prices, no
resort to the public treasury, will be
of any permanent value in establish
ing agriculture. Simple and direct
methods put into operation by the
farmer himself are the only real
sources for restoration" lie favored
a reorganization of the freight rate
cooperative organizations
and more diversification, as a means
of relief. The great improvement in
the agricultural situation, without
any paternalistic legislation having
been enacted, seems to bear out the
Coolidge view of n wise policy. It is
not to be expected, therefore, that in
his message to the next session he
will vary from that policy.
Among the other subjects con-
cerning which President Coolidge |
recommended legislation but upon
which no action was taken were the

UNFINISHED BUSINESS FOR
NEXT CONGRESS-

Washington, November 5th-(Spe.
cial correspondence President
CoOlidge's address to Congress next
month will probably deal very
largely with what might well be
called unfinished business" for, as
everybody knows, Congress did not
give attention to all his recommen-
datiOns submitted to the last session.
During the recent campaign the
charge was frequently made by Op-
position parties that President Cool
idge had little legislation to his
credit. The fact was that President
Coolidge had made some very def
mite recommendations but, owing to
coalition between Democrats and
radical Republicans, some of these
recommendations were ignored and
others defeated by obstructive tao
tics.
1t will be observed, however, that
President Coolidge is not a believer
in legislation as cure-all for ecOno-
mic needs. He did not make a very
large number of recommendation
for new legislation at the last ses-
sion, and some of these were acted
upon in accordance with his advice.
Others were not. Among the recon-
mendations which he made and
which were favorably acted upon
were provision for temporary Oper-
alton of the merchant marine by the
Government until a plan for private
operation can be adopted, the sub
mission Of the Child Labor Amend
ment, the strengthening of the i'm
migration restriction law, reduction
of taxes, and reduction of appropri-
ations.

import requirements are expected to

Furs.

Undoubtedly the feature of the fur
trade in 1924 was the immediate pop
ularity of the brown-dyed sealskins
first presented to the public at the
Government sales in St. Louis. Domes-
tic pelts were we'll taken by manu-
featuring furriers early in the year.
but after Spring had passed, there
was a decided slump in demand for
all varieties. The trend of fashion,
which decreed fur trimmings on hats,
coats and dresses. as well as fur gar
ments, had revivifying effect. and
the volume of pelts consumed reached
heavy proportions before the Christ
mas holidays.
Skunk. squirrel and fox all were
featured, while the demand for err
mine was of extraordinary proper
tions. Raccoon coats showed no fall
ing off in popularity and required a
record breaking number of skins,
while sales of sable, mink, broadtail
caracuI, silver fox and other high
priced skins was aided by the revival
of business after election.
The jump in the stock market was
responsible for construction of an
added number of expensive fur gar
ments, some of which sold for from $40,
600 to 100000.
