CONGRESS- BACK AGAIN

Congress lifts off the lid tomorrow af-
ter vacation of several months, and faces
tremendous task in legislating for the
improvement of conditions throughout
the country.
The new deal" is in the saddle, with
overwhelming majorities in both houses
of congress, but the administration is by
no means certain of easy sailing because
it is backed up by these maj ajorities. There
are feuds and differ ences within the
Democratic ranks that promise to pro-
vide plenty of fireworks.
Of first interest is the old bonus ques-
tion, which has the spotlight as the
show opens. Veterans leaders claim a
sufficient majority in both houses to
put over the bonus. The administration
has come out flatfooted against immed-
late payment of the bonus and this ques-
tion will give the country an opportunity
to find out wherein lies the real strength
in congress or in the administration
Ranking almost equal with the bonus
question is the relief problem, which has
not shrunk any in the past few months
despite definite Improvement in nation
al conditions There is also the vexatious
farm question, to set the agricultural
leaders barking at the administration,
while the matter of continuing the NRA
either in its present form or some modi-
fication of it, will give businessmen the
ammunition they wish to lombard the
administration.
In the background are such items as
initiation, stabilization of currency, our
political and commercial relations with
the rest of the world, the status of naval
affairs with Japan and the other signers
of the Washington treaty of 1922 and
long list of others ready to be dragged
on the floor of congress for debate and
discussion.
There is the same old leadership in the
senate, while the house will find new
boss in Mr.. Byrns from Tennessee, sue
ceeding the late Edward Rainey, who
died since congress adjourned. Demo-
Gratis are squabbling over the position of
majority leader with the North and the
South seeking the honor. The brain
trust" while not so prominent Just now,
is still on the job in Washington, ready
to assist CD congress in its work.
Back of it all is the popular man in the
White House. He has done terrific job
in the past two years and there is no let
UP in sight for him. He has the confl-
dence of the country, the greatest asset
he could have, and if bets are IN order
there are many ready to back their be-
lief that he will continue to be the ''boss"
and make congress conform to what he
believes is best. The next few months
will tell how the bets are to be collected.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
JACKIE'S BED

The Lady Mouse Teacher in the
Hollow Tree School had gone away
for a short vacation between Christ
mas and New Years and there
were to be no classes of the ami
NAL children for another week. So
Uncle Wiggily's little bunny boys
and girls, as well as the doggie,
pussie and other animal children,
could play all day long.
One day Jingle, Jangie and Baby
Bunty grew tired Of so much play
time (oh yes, you can get tired of
playing as much as you can of
working) and Bunty said:
"I'm going to ask Unkie Wig
to take us adventuring with him. y
"That will be fun" said Jingle.
"Ill come, too.'
$50 will T. said Jangle. THAT
is if Daddy will take us.
"He'll be sure to if Baby Bunty
asks him, - said Jingle They all
knew their father was very fond
of the little orphan rabbit. And,

if they couldn't come adventuring
with him Uncle Wiggily answered:
"Of course you may, my dears.
But don't always find adventures

ever, something may happen, so
hop along'
Hop Along
The three little rabbit girls hop
ped along with Uncle Wiggfiy, their
ear ribbons fluttering in the wind
and pretty soon they saw Jackie
Bow Wow, the puppy dog boy, run
ming after them.
MAY I come with you?' asked
Jackie. -
"Yes,' said Uncle Wiggily, Sc
Jackie also went adventuring. As
they reached the woods Baby Bunty

PLEASURE TO BE LICKED

History repeated itself yesterday and
once again an invading force has soundly
trounced the best California could pro-
duce in the football line
Last year the Columbia eleven came
out here, stopping enroute in Arizona,
collected a bunch of rain, sent it into
Pasadena where rain is not supposed to
fall on New Years day, and begged down
the Big Red machine.
This year, Alabama'S Crimson Tide,
used somewhat similar tactics, except
that they patronized home industries as
it were. Instead of using Arizona rain,
they brought along plenty of their own
Dixie sunshine, which proved to be lit
tie too brilliant or something or other
for the California variety They also
brought along a wind-making machine,
composed of Mr.. Howell, Mr. Hutson
Mr.. Smith and an oval of pig hide. When
this combination went into action it made
too much wind for Messrs. Grayson.
Hamilton ct. al. with the result that theS
pig hide went across the bars too many
times for the comfort of the Stanford
alumni and numerous supporters who
expected them to get revenge for what
Columbia did last year.
1t rsust have been a great game Even
over the radio it sounded swell, and if
there are any soreheads because the
home team got licking, we haven't
heard of one. The game was such a
splendid one that even the fact that
Stanford lost is forgotten in admiration
for the brilliant "rebel" outfit, which
showed brand of football that just
could not be beaten, even by such fine
work as Tiny Thornhill's boys did,
This was Alabama's fourth engage
ment as the Rose Bowl attraction and it
boasts of three wins and one tie for the
series. All of California, which is inter-
ested in the Rose Bowl game hopes
they come again. Being defeated by such
a fine outfit is really a pleasure, and
maybe we can turn the trick next time.
