The trade bought on the scale

were also purchasers. Spot houses,
the South and commission houses
were sellers. The market was dull.
There was some leftover liquida-
ton on fears that the 12-cent loan
would either not be renewed or
would be lowered. Yesterday some
selling developed on this issue,
precipitated by a statement of a
Cotton Exchange adviser to the
effect that he opposed loans on

Toward noon, the futures mar

The other day. when the Sen.
ate was about to vote for regulat-
ing utility holding companies in
stead of destroying them, hasty
memorandum from Mr.. Roosevelt
ordered them not to take such &C.
ton. Again he had his way.
But this time he got bare ma
jority. In fact, evidences of Con.
gressional independence have ap-
peared at times. Not so long ago
there was an attempt to specify
how Mr.. Roosevelt should spend
the 4-billion-dollar check. Now
the Gore amendment to that
skeleton" NRA bill would require
Senate approval of appointees who
are to get salaries over $4,000.
Congress sometimes seems pretty
poor, but you can say this for it:
If left to itself. it seldom is able
to pass very bad laws.
Congress represents the people.
What about us? What bunch

We still have our 5. 10 and

Perhaps some will say that
they would accept a dictator
If he would get results. But /
think there are two limitations
to which most of us would
agree.
First, the dictator must be
wise and effective. A mellow
radio voice goes only SO far.
Talk, in vague terms, about
social justice. more abundant
life, sharing wealth. and
Sanctity of human rights, gets
us nowhere. We want definite
practical working programs.
We want results.
We don't want reforms"
which kill prosperity.
Second, we want truly
representative government. If
any debating is to be done, we
want it done according to our
Constitution.
Therefore, even if some Of us
have been willing to try expert
ments, we have not liked the way
in which these experiments have
been conducted-the smart" bills
to get around the Constitution
the rubber stamping of Congress
the smart aleck attitude Of try

We are tired of promises and
of experiments for experiments

fusion and waste. We are sick
of uncertainty.
Let's get on way which goes

Just as the electric light has replaced the
Pickering kerosene lamp and suffering gas
jet-so is modern electric cookery replacing
the old, tiresome methods of cooking. For it
is so easy to operate an electric range. All
you need to do is to set the temperature
control, set the clock and turn the switch.
For, once in the oven, food needs no further
attention; no basting, no peeping, no watch
ing. Soaring and basting are eliminated and
cooking and preparation time is cut to
minimum.
Once you see meal cooked this modern way
you will understand why you will spend less
time in the kitchen, save steps, use fewer
pans and waste time cleaning pots and pans.
