THE NEXT CONGRESS

Whether there shall be special session before the Seventeth Congress regularly assemblies in December not 1t appears that the stage is being for one of the most strenuous sessions in recent years.
 While conceded that of the paramount issues to be considered is flood relief other problems old and new will clamor for solution Farm relief tax reduction national defense Boulder Dam and many other measures will be put forward not forgetting the perennial contro versy over Muscle Shoals.
 An indication of the ferceness of the impending struggle these may be in the renewed activity of the farm boc, whose leaders recently held conference in St. Paul. where was proposed to combine several issues in sort of coalition program whereby support for one bill is sought for anotherFor example 1t is said that the middle west will support the Boulder Dam bill and possibly government operation of Muscle Shoals in return for aid from advocates of these in support of the Nc Nary-Haugen bill
 Even though such coalition be agreed upon by the leaders concerned whether they actually deliver the votes m Congress in accordance with such agreement remains to be seen But whatever the lineup may be on the several important involved it seems certain that the Slxy-ninth Congress will have nothing on the Seventeth as fighting body when the record is finally written.

Temperament.

Temperament is only emotion that
has taken root and is sitting pretty in
your mind. Get temperament, but
don't let it get you.
Temperament gives warmth and
color TO a persons life, and that's
why artists are supposed to be tenn
peramental and then some. II they
are genuine painters and musicians,
they have something more than long
hair on their minds. They have the
temperamental pep which enables
them to make a drab canvas glorious
and a silent piano rattle as though
there were a mechanical piano inside
the works.
The trouble with many people who
are as temperamental as Peklngese
pup is that they let their emotional
qualifications stand in their way.
Here's a girl who can play the piano
| pretty WELL but when you ask her to
perform and punish Chopin. she pouts
and complains that she hasn't brought
Der music with her.
Or here is a young dame who can
sing, even when she can't make her
voice earn enough to buy her cough
drops. When the hostess invites her
plains that she has a cold or is out OF
practice. People like that have tenn
permanent, but it's working the wrong
way. It's pulling them back instead
of pushing them ahead. It's like the
| brakes on a car instead of the gas.
Positive temperament, even when
| it makes a person hard to get along
with, Is good thing. An actor who
| doesn't have it is only a puppet and
| Is good for nothing but a minor part
| in Punch and Judy" A business
man who isn't sufficiently tempera.
mental win see the other fellow walk
| away with the goods.
| When it comes to the relations be-
| tween the sexes, it's judicious tenn
permanent that makes the people who
charm. The man who hasn't tempera-
| ment to express when in the presence
| of a pretty girl will have nothing to
| show except his flashy necktie.
| Usually it isn't necessary to tell
girls they ought to cultivate tempera-
ment, for they come by it naturally.
| It is as common with them as the
| famous high school complexion. The
| more usual message to the average
| girl is that of sense, which she is sup
posed to need.
But, just the same, there is plenty
| of room for the temperamental touch
| in a girls life, and she'll profit by
emphasizing it, provided she can use
| 1t the way she uses her cold cream,
and lay 1t on evenly.
What a girl needs is to make emo.
| tional nature count. If her feelings
make her fussy and peevish. she's
using her temperament backward.
Instead Of charming by the proper dis
| play Of well chosen emotion, she's CIV
| ing people the wriggly feeling.
| Your boy friend likes your makeup
unless the cup" part of it Is too high.
Then he appreciates your tempera-
ment, If you are using it in a positive
way. Don't let your emotions put a
crimp into your style.

brown satin among all the many
frocks I have seen in the shops or
workrooms. An occasional navy blue
one there may be, but these are only
for the women who have particular
penchant for that color. But whether
you have a penchant for black or not,
you'll doubtless want to wear 1t be-
cause Of its smartness.
The all-black frock. unrelieved by
white or color, is. you'll have to admit,
rather trying. But with bit of lace
or lingerie in white or ecru about the
wrists and the neck it can be worn
worn by almost any woman TO al
vantage. There are very thin wom-
en- and very stout women VINO
ought not to wear it perhaps. TO be
sure, 1t has a slenderizing effect
that is why I would advise my very
thin friend not to wear it. But on the
other hand the glossy surface with
the conspicuous high lights somehow
accentuates the roundness of eXag-
gerated bodily curves.
Almost any color combines we'll with
black satin. The mellow but still
fairly pronounced tones that we call
"Chinese"-jade green, lacquer red,
Chinese blue, rich old gold--these
make excellent aff1nitieS for black.
Remember this about satin: 1t has
a marvellous way of shedding dust.
and because it does shed dust 1t really
stays clean; cleaner than fabric with
a softer, rougher surface. 1t stays
clean the way a waXed floor does
turns cold shoulder to dust and re-
fuses to give it berth. For this rea-
son satin is an excellent material for
street or travel costumes. On the
other hand, the glossy surface of the
material renders any real spots and
stains extremely conspicuous. a
rough wool material like tweed picks
up and holds more dust. but shows
spots less. Satin sheds the dust, but
shows the spots
From a clever dressmaker I have
secured the pattern needed in cutting
the petals for rag flowers, which are
used so frequently to give a finishing
touch to new frocks. Once you know
how to cut the petals, it is easy
enough to make a shoulder flower
from scraps of material. l would be
glad to ssend you this pattern with
directions for making if you will send
me stamped. self-addressed envelope.

THE WOMAN OF TWENTY.ONE
BY CLYDE CALLTSTER.

One Of the most remarkable works
of imagination ever produced by a
woman was written by Mary WOLF
stonecraft Shelley when she was
barely Fl. AS the young wife of
the poet Shelley, she was sojourning
in Switzerland. Lord Byron was one
of the company. and it was suggested
that each should write tale deal
ing with the supernatural. AS her
contribution to this contest the
youthful Mrs. Shelley wrote Frank
enstein." the story of a man deeply
versed in science who succeeds in
building up and vitalizing an adult
man. This unnatural creature turns
out to be a sort of super- criminal
who devotes himself to tormenting
his creator. This tale still remains
one of the most gruesome in the
language, and the most remarkable
thing about 1t is that it was the work
of this inexperienced young woman.
Several of the worlds greatest
singers have made their debuts at

Among presidential brides of 81
We're Carolina Scott, first wife of
Benjamin Harrison; Lucy Webb.
wife of President Hayes, and Sarah
Childress. wife of President Polk.
The first Mrs. Harrison had the dis
tinction Of being the first president
general of the Daughters of the

Hayes, wife of the ninteenth Presi-
dent, it is remembered that she
objected to having wine served in
the White House-and had her way
about it, too. Sarah Childress, who
married James Polk. eleventh Presi-
dent of the United States, was even
more austere in her position as First
Lady of the Land; not only did she
forbid drinking within the White
House but banned dancing as well.
Emma Eames was one Of the
worlds great singers who seems to
have been in no undue haste to make
her debut.
Christine Nilsson, a noted Swedish
soprano opera singer, was another
who made her debut at 81. That is,
she was 81 when she was heard first
in Paris, but it was not until she was
"a that she was heard in this country.

The agent padded these statements

The scheme would have continued,

demand upon the company to remit

company refused. showing that they
