NEUTRALITY
Rep. McReynoIds Says
Congress Will Act
After January !

A conference between Secretary
of State Hull and Chairman Nc.
REYNOLDS CD of Tennessee of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
today or tomorrow may launch
the Administrations neutrality
legislative program.
Returning from the Philippine
Inauguration with a congressional
party, McReynoldS predicted en-
actment of strict neutrality legis'
lation.
The House chairman predicted
that Congress would reject the
proposal of President Roosevelt
that he be given power to apply
an embargo to one nation and not
to another. He said:
"The House has twice APP
proved this but the Senate has
rejected it. 1 don't think Con-
gress will give the power"
The House chairman said that
Congress may define implements
of war in new neutrality legisla-
ton but said he favored making
the matter discretionary with the
President.
"The President can put US
into war any day by running q
gunboat into a foreign country.
1 don't believe in tying the
hands Of any President"
McReynolds indicated that he
may demand a ban on money
credits in new neutrality legisla-
ton. He disclosed that when
Congress enacted neutrality legis-
lation in the last session it was
understood that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not define cotton and oil
as implements" of war and apply
an embargo to Italy and Ethiopia.

In these months the rainy sea-

Smile season" is at hand.
Medical research indicates there n
direct connection between variation
OF temperature in homes and the pre-
valence of colds, points out Frank Yer
anth, local distributor of the Iron Fire

Our company has found that there
is way to prevent the great majority

comfortable heat in every room-not 70
permit the fire to die down or to burn
too strongly" he reports.
I'VE have tested this theory in a
good many homes here, and the evi-
dence seems much in our favor.
The surprising thing Is that even,
automatic heat can be obtained with
an Iron Fireman at less cost than with
handfiring of coal.
Goal, too, is the most economical
source Of heat and with Iron Fireman,s
new automatic firing methods coal
leaves nothing to be desired in the way
OF cleanliness and convenience.
