THE ECONOMY TEST

There is little hope for real federal economy this
winter if the dilaory behavior of the joint economy
committee of senators and representatives appointed
last summer to study veterans legislation indicates
the temper of congress.
No congressional committee ever has fouted
public opinion more fagranty It was given specific
directions to investigate, thoroughly all laws relat-
ing TO the relief of veterans and report ways of
reducing the cost of such relief.
Nothing was done through the summer The
campaign kept members from their duties in the
fall, but after it over there still was no action
meeting of the committee, tentatively set for
last week. was postponed until this week. None of
the members has program to present when the
meeting is held It's report is due Jan and if acted
on at this session must he ready at that time
If the committee wished to act, it would find
much reason for doing so in the annual report of
Director General Hines of the United States vet
Grams administration.
This report discloses that since the year when
disqualification was authorized for all veterans, re-

changed in this respect, limiting disqualification

Hines warns in his report that the cost of vet

lars year must grow greater annually if the laws
remain unchanged because of disabilities growing
out of increasing age.
When we try to cut the federal budget we can't
cut interest the public debt. We can't reduce
the cost of operating the government departments

the cost of all others only about half the annual

Like the Octopus

THE appearance Of the ancient
l. cephalopod seems to have
been closer to that Of the squid
or octopus than to any other liv-
ing animal, the Smithsonian
scientists say.
They believe that it was a free
swimmer and dominated the shall
low seas in which it lived.
The row of chambers compos-
ing the shell were, of course, hol-
lev, and helped the animal keep
af1oat.
Throughout the entire row of
chambers, scientists have discov-
cred small shell tube. Some
scientists think that this made
sort of natural submarine of
the cephalopod and that it could
rise or sink by permitting water
to enter this tube.
A monograph on the cephalo-
pod Of Manchuria has just been
prepared for the Smithsonian in
stitution by DR.. Riuji Endo, pro-
lessor of Mukden college.
THE largest of the Manchurian
creatures was perhaps a little
more than a foot long," he says
"A few extended their chambers
in the form Of coils, approaching
the practice Of the present nau-
titus.

IMPORTANT VISITORS

Even though this city has welcomed during the
past year many important visitors, including the
President and the next President, it will have none
more important than the representatives of the
Federal Council Of the Churches of Christ, gather
ing today
The decisions reached here will be accepted by
many millions Of men and women. What they may
think of social problems rather than spiritual ones
may have a very direct bearing upon the course of
this country.
This council has taken progressive viewpoint
on labor problems. 1t has sounded warnings in the
past that the one factor most important in indus
try has been the human being It's program and

The Influence of religion increases with depres-
sions and adversely The influence of churches is
more powerful when people are poor than when
they are prosperous. In flush days worship may
become social function In dark hours it becomes
the final refuge.
In finding an answer to social problems, these
representatives may have very real part They
may assert again that the standard of life shall
not be Debated. They may insist that men have
the right to work They may declare that the
teachings Of Christ must be practiced as we'll as
preached and that brotherhood means more than

They may even become so daring as to assert
that the world and especially this country must be
made safe for Christianity

and campaign pledges to favor immediate taxation
of beer.
Since the Democrats control the house and.
with their progressive allies control the senate,
beer victory should be easy The only question
might be the vigor with which Democratic leaders
press the issue.
This question, at least in the house. seems to
have been answered by the courageous fight led
Monday by Speaker Garner and Majority Leader
Rainey.
The ISSUE we repeat is taxes. 1t is not chiefly
to give beer to the thirsty those who want to drink
are drinking already under prohibition It is to tap
new source of revenue to meet the dangerous
federal deficit
The taxpayer now is burdened almost to the
breaking point. But he must take on a much larger
burden unless the government can get that money
from beer.
quick decision is essential The deficit is
mounting daily Until the beer tax question is de-
cded congress ntelligenty can not consider either
appropriations or general taxation which determine
a balanced budget

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

TIP in the attic on a rainy day,
" forty years ago, while turn
ing the pages of an old history
of Tennessee, a story stuck in my
mind and it has taught me much
An Indian band raided a pioneer
settlement, and after killing near
ly everybody, they carried some
little boys with them into the
forest.
Years passed, and in a fight
with the Indians, some of their
warriors we're captured, among
them three men with faces almost
white.
Two of the mothers came to
see if they could find and iden-
tify their lost boys. They walked
along the line of prisoners, peer
ing into the wild faces, looking
for some trace of family likeness,
but in vain.
An officer asked if they remem-
bered any song they used t. sing
to their boys in days of old. One
mother went slowly along the line
singing the grooming lullaby she
used to sing to her little boy. The
spirit of other days came back
and the song sobbed its way
through her heart.
All at once a stalwart man,
whom the forest had not utterly
swallowed up, broke from the line
and came cautiously toward her.

NOW THE BEER TAX

Mondays vote by the house of representatives
on outright repeal of the eighteenth amendment
was an interlude. The repeal question can be left
to the next congress.
We now return to the real issue of the short ses-
sion of congress, which is beer tax to help balance
the budget and keep down other taxes.
AS interude the house repeal vote sig
nfcant of the rapid swing of congress from dry to
wet only last May this house. the very
mild question of dischargng a committee on beer
BILL voted 1863 wet to 228 dry Monday this house
voted 272 wet to LA dry on the extreme test of
outright repeal.
Thus the drys have been reduced from large
majority to bare one-third. They no longer can
block a beer tax bill, which requires only majority
for passage.
There are two reason why outright repeal must
be postponed for the congress elected last month,
which does not take office until March One is that
the lame duck session is not responsive to the cleo
ton mandate Eighty-two representatives defeated
at the polls last month voted Monday against re-
peal This incidentally should spur the states to
ratification of the anti-lame duck amendment.
The second reason is that the short session pro-
vdes for libuster under the senate rules by which
small dry minority can delay action until the ses-
sion closes Even if repeal had passed the house
Monday. it would have been sdetracked by dry
senate minority.
Neither of those adverse conditions-control by
lame ducks and short session-wil obtain when
the new congress takes Office instructed by the No
venaber election to repeal prohibition
In any event. if outright repeal had passed
the house and senate, there still would be an in
term period before ratification by the states Hence
the immediate issue is modification of the Volstead
act to egalize and tax beer.
President Hoover and the Republican manage
ment though opposed to outright repeal have not
taken a position on the beer tax. The Democrats,
of course, specifically bound by their platform

They looked at each other for an
instant, she still singing-a light
shining through her tears - and
the wild man fell on her shoulder
and cried like a baby.
1t was the power of memory
deep calling unto deep-dim, dead
days coming back on the wings
of lullaby, changing a savage
into child.
MO wonder the story has stayed
1 Y in my mind; the human
heart is deep, and no one has
found the bottom of it. We try
to recall name and it will not
come, but it pops up a half hour
later, usually too late.
Recollection is one thing, mem
DRY another-we never really for
get anything, much as we should
like to. The slightest hint-a
scene, a sound, a glimpse-resur-
recrs bygone days, bringing back
troops of images, to bless or tor
ment us.
Without memory, life would be
a medley and a madness. Nay,
more; give us but memory and
we lose nothing in death. Where
as, if memory be taken from us,
there is nothing worth keeping, in
this world or the next.

Anticipated laws and customs make
it possible.
The political game ended, or
should have ended Nov. 8. Four
years hence we can play another.
Between times, we should think of
what is best for the country, not
in our opinion, but in the coun-
try's opinion. Democracy can not
function on any other basis.
Franklin D. Roosevelt has been
elected President and a Demo-
cratic congress has been elected to
back him, with the distinct under
standing that certain policies
would be changed and certain
measures adopted.
1t is the obvious duty of the adj
mlnlstration now in power and
the members of congress now in
office to serve and not obstruct
the popular will. OotherWise,
representative government fails.
The case is closed, the verdict
has been rendered, and it becomes
the responsibility of those who
serve, whether they lost or won in
the recent election, to heed the
nations pronouncement, especial
ly with regard to those questions
which admit of no doubt.

ANOTHER MANDATE

An election fact that seems to have been over
looked is the almost deafening chorus of American
voters demanding security through pensions for the
aged poor.
The Old Age Security Herald today analyses the
recent returns and concludes: THE biggest stride
forward to the goal of nationwide provision for the
dependent aged was taken on election day. Nov
8, by the registration, for the first time in po-
litca history, of overwhelming approval of old age
security by popular referendum in Missouri and the
election of a President and of q host of United
ernors of all parties, committed to extension of adj
equate protection for the aged poor"
Alaska and seventeen states have adopted old age
pension systems in place of old age poorhouses and
finding pensions cheaper.
The victorious Democratic party is pledged to
pensions The pension bloc in the senate was in
creased by the election of Lonergan of Connecticut
Van Mugs of Indiana, Clark of Missouri Homer Bone
of Washington, and others. Such pension crusaders
Governors Elect Constock of Michigan Green of
Rhode Island, and Lehman of New York will slim
ulate the movement in the states. Governors run
ming on the pension platform were elected in twelve
states
The registration of such popular sentiment is en-
couraging So is the march of the progressive
states
We believe, however, that the federal govern
ment should aid the states to finance and stand
ardize pensions This would mean the enactment of
some such measure as the Dill onnery bill at an
early date.

Not q Mind Chained

EVEN the forty minutes proved
H waste of time. Not word
was said, but had been said at
least one hundred times, and not
mind was changed in or out of
congress.
1t was just stall for time, not
with the hope of accomplishing
anything, but to postpone the
agony Of defeat.
Every one knows what the out
come will be, knows that nothing
can stop modification and repeal,
once the new administration takes
charge. But politics is politics.
The country must wait, although
it has declared what it wants in
no uncertain terms. Small, re-
pudiated minorities have it with
in their power to block legislation.
How far do they dare to go?
If we faced new, or unexpected
problems, there would be virtue in
prolonged debate, even at the risk
of prolonged distress, but that is
not the case. We know what we
are up against, although we may
not agree as to causes, or cures.
We know that things can't re-
main as they are without inviting
disaster. We know that the people
have voted to try something diff
ferent.
Well, why not quit the kicking
and try it?

SCIENCE
Arctic Once Far South
BY DAVID DIETz

CHALLOW arms of the Arctic
~ ocean once extended far
southwark into both North Amer
lea and Asia.
That was 5OO,OOO,OOO years ago,
according to experts of the Smith
sonian Institution, who have re-
constructed the map of that an
cient world from the distribution
of fossils found in the rock layers.
The Smithsonian scientists have
found fossils of Arctic ocean ami
mails in North America and Asia.
They conclude that where the fos-
sils now are, the ocean once must
have been.
And so they conclude that mar
row bays of the Arctic must have
extended once as far south as
New Mexico in the west and Geor-
gia in the east. In Asia, they be-
lieve that the Arc &C extended
down into central Siberia, Korea
and central China.
In America, they believe that
mountains or high plateaus pre-
vented these arms of the Arctic
ocean from flowing into either the
Atlantic or the Pacific.
The dominant creature Of the
oceans 500,000,000 years ago was
the nautiloid, or cephalopod, a
mollusk whose nearest living rela-
tive is the chambered nautilus.
The cephalopod was creature
like the octopus. 1t lived in
shell. AS it grew larger, it Sc
creted a new chamber or to the
end of its old shell and moved
out into it.
The present-day chambered-
nautilus is small, but the ancient
nautilcids sometimes reached
lengths of ten feet.

in which it changes its own ca

NUITE recently, the preparation
" called toxoid has been devel-
oped for use in protecting children
against diphtheria. Toxoid does not
contain any horse serum, but is
merely toxin detoxified by the adj

1t is used in the same way that
toxin antitoxin is used, and serves
to stimulate development of immu-
nifty, or of resistance to diphtheria.
Some people react unfavorably to

are sensitive to horse serum.
Hypersensitivity of this kind is
the same type of hypersensitivity
that produces asthma, or hay fever,
