Peter Receives Advice.

bulge it."
Johnny shook his head. That's
bad" said he. That's very bad. You
would be no worse off If you were
caught in a steel trap, but I've known
folks to escape from steel trap"
"How?" asked Peter.
"By twisting leg of, or gnawins
it off," replied Johnny.
Peter shivered. You're not advis-
ing me to do anything so dreadful as
that, are you?" he asked in a quaver-
ing voice.
"Well," said Johnny, wouldn't it
be better to do that than to have
Reddy Fox happen along and find you
here? That would be too dreadful"
Peter gulped. He had to admit that
it would be too dreadful. Perhaps
he won't happen along" said he hope
fully.
But if he doesn't and nobody else
happens along, you'll starve to death,
anyway" spoke up Striped Chipmunk.
Peter hadn't thought of that. To
be reminded of it just added to his
misery. "Oh. dear! oh, dear!" he

This was advice that didn't nelp
much. Peter couldn't help thinking
how easy it is for people not in trou-

well, but it didn't help at all No, sir.
it didn't help at all. So far none of the
advice he had received had helped even
a little bit. Poor Peter! How he did
wish he had needed little Mrs. Peter

GOOD FELLOW
XMAS PLEA
BY THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR

BY THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR
A 13-year-old boy asking some
Good Fellow to give his 11-year-
old brother and parents Q happy
Christmas. His letter tells the
story:
Il don't know what my mother
will do to me for writing this
letter, but want to help so bad.
My daddy is out of work and
can't seem to find job. We
won't have anything for Christ
mas at all unless someone will
help,
Sometimes my mother cries
and cries and yesterday she
told my brother and me that we
wouldn't have anything for
Christmas and that we won't
even have anything to eat unless
God will help us. We haven't
had hardly anything to eat for
two weeks. Last night we went
to bed hungry again.
I'VE haven't any wood or coal
to burn, and we pick up pieces
of wood around dumps and lots
for; the fire.
Asks Only for Food
'"There are q lot of things we
would like to have Hnr Christ
mas. Clothes and shirts and
stockings. and we need shoes.
too, but I'm only asking If some
body would give US food. because
a. would make my mother happy.
Mother says she is glad we are
big enough not to believe in Santa
because it would break her heart
If we did and she couldn't give US
anything. I told her not to worry
that L didn't mind. but, gee, it
makes a fellow feel bad, don't it?"
There is nothing we can add
TO this plea. The boy tells his story
in his own manly way. This big
brother has learned too soon the
lesson of poverty. He expects
nothing, really. But he finds it
hard to accept the fact his
mother and his brother must be
similarly neglected. And, Of course,
he wants to save mother" the
pain in store for her. And daddy"
the shame and bitter humiliation
he must face on Christmas morn
ing.
Father Unemployed
An unemployed father makes
the case, of another family also o
sad one. The mother in this fam
lily zanxiously writes hoping that
some one will play Santa Claus
to her five children. There are
three girls, ages 13, II and 8, and
two boys, 70 and 8 years old, who
will be most unhappy if, there is
nothing on Christmas morning to
makS that day bit different from
the.<Dtaer days of poverty and
hunger.
The mother writes:
4 have explained to them that
there will be no Christmas this
year for them, but that does not
make it any easier on me to have
them look at me Christmas morn
ing and ask why they were for

Many Holdover Issues Full of Dynamite
Feared in Spite of Congress
Strategy.

Pat Harrison of Mississippi, chairman
of the Finance Committee, was that
it would not solve the controversy over
the adjusted service certificates.
1t was declared by Senator Frederick
Steiwer of Oregon, Senator Bennett c.
Clark Of Missouri and other World
War veterans that enactment of the
compromise would not satisfy the
former service men and would be fol-
lowed by immediate demand for pay
ment of the full cash value of the
certificates, and that this demand
would be made in the coming session.
N. r. A. Looms Large.
While it is not yet entirely clear
what Congress will do finally about
extension of the N. r. A., the prospects
are strong for temporary extension,
with restrictions, until next Spring.
If temporary extension Is ordered, 1t
will follow that, virtually as soon as
the next session opens in January
Congress must take up anew the whole
problem of the Blue Eagle and the
N. r. A. codes, and decide what Is to
be done. BY that time, too, the prob
lem will doubtless be further COM
plicated by important decisions of the
Supreme Court, not only IN the
Schechter case, but others.
The political embarraSSments OF
having to settle the fate Of the N. r. A.
in the midst of a presidential and con-
gressional campaign are apparent.
Suffice it to say that the thought Of
wrestling with this problem while the
voters prepare to draw their ballots is
sufficient to make candidate un-
happy.
O. of the reasons the administra-
ton Is seeking to get the N. r. A.
extended for two years is to make
1t unnecessary to stir up violent con-
troversy on the subject at the Capitol
next Winter and Spring. However, 1t
is to be kept in mind that even
two-year extension would not meet
the difficulties of one or more Supreme
Court decisions which might challenge
some vital features of the recovery act
and the N. r. A. fabric which has been
built on that act. In other words.
court decisions may force the N. r. A.
issue squarely into the next session
despite a two-year extension.
A mass of difficult labor problems
will remain unsolved even though this
session lasts all Summer. For months
organized labor, more than usually
strong and aggressive, has also been
becoming more and more dissatisfied.

TIME next session of Congress is
beginning to loom before the
lawmakers as troubled vision.
L 1t is worrying members of both
houses, and especially those
who have their thoughts fixed on
politics and political reactions, quite
as much as the closing months of this
session.
The reason is that it now has be-
come apparent that it will be impos-
sible to confine the next session-the
one to be held just at the outset of
the presidential campaign-to a few
inocuous propositions, large number
of speeches for the Record, and then
an early adjournment. Until now
the Democratic leaders in the House
and the Senate, with ENCOURAGEMENT
from the White House, have been
seeking to arrange things so that the
session Just before the presidential
contest will be as devoid as possible
of political dynamite. so far as legis-
lation goes.
But it looks now as If such pro-
gram will be out of the question.
Though the present session, according
to all indications, will run until late
Summer, it inevitably will leave un-
finished a long list of important pro-
posals Sponsors and hackers of these
proposals will not take kindly to sug-
gestions that they be put off until
after the presidential election and
until the Seventy fifth Congress enters
~, its duties in January, 1887, or near.
ly two years hence.
Bonus Held Stymied.
Passage by the Senate OF the Pat
man bonus bill, with its imitation fea-
ture. early this week, was at once
declared by administration leaders IN
the Senate to mean prevention OF
bonus legislation. They said the
Presidents veto would be sustained
in the Senate, and could not be over
ridden.
Obviously, failure to get rid OF the
bonus issue this session means that
the next session will be under intense
pressure from bonus supporters. Now
will they be satisfied with any technl-
cal parliamentary reasons for evading
it or procrastinating? About the last
thing some Senators and Representa-
tives who are up for denomination and
reelection next year want Is to be put
on q "hot spot" with respect to the
bonus Just before nominating season.
