WASHINGTON, May A.
Here's the average congressman:
He's 81, weighs 100, and is
5-foot-7 tall.
He went to college, became a
lawyer, married and had two
children.
He knows quite a bit of Ameri-
can history, really likes the coun-
try, and would like to do some
thing about it, if he only knew
the best way to proceed.
He gets 400 letters a day. He
hires a $1,5O0-a-year stenographer
to answer letters, and a S3,500-a-
year secretary to listen to world
savers and job-hunters.
Bell Fits Description
Good-,ooking, 51-year-old G.
Joseph Bell OF Missouri is typical.
He's serving his second term in
tie house. He has part of Kan
sas City in his district, but he also
has 10000 farmers, hundreds of
war veterans, widows who want
pensions, pacifists, militarists,
isolationists.
He has to know about the TO-
coo bills that are introduced at
each session of congress. He has
to attend meetings of the four
committees on which he serves,
make speeches in the house when
his committees have a bill up, and
then return to his office to advise
Mrs. Grab-Stake who wants her
daughter introduced at the Court
Of st. James and Mandy Jones
whose husband has left her again.
Didn't Plan To Come
e iidn't plan to come to con-
gress, although five members Of
his family have been here in the
last hundred years. He had to
work for his schooling, because
his father and mother died before
he went to college. But he had
an uncle who was lawyer.
"Look here, why go to school
anymore said the uncle one
day. Pound typewriter in my
office, and I'll teach you law"
The youngster snatched the
chance.
He stuck close to business for
years because there was a pretty
nurse in Nebraska who became
Mrs. Bell. They wanted a nice
home, and they have it now, on a
lake outside Kansas City.
Losing Money On Job
But in 1926 he felt sure enough
of himself to look around, and
that landed him in the Kansas
City council for four years. ''That
was a pleasure" he says, al
though he lost money in the job.
Then he became a circuit court
judge, and then a congressman.
He really likes the job, al
though he's losing money because
he took it.
He's getting gray here in Wash
ington, but he's keeping his waist
line down by horseback riding.
He has read Gibbon and he
shivers over the degeneration of
the ''glory that was Greece and
the grandeur that was Rome. !"
He'd like to prevent a repetition
here.

The United States has leased some out of date war vessels to Brazil for training purposes, and Italy Argentine, Germany and Chile are upset about it., for req sons that are too diverse and numerous to be set forth here. To an unprejudiced observer, no harm appears to have been done. To those who favor disarmament it occurs that one good way to promote that end would be to junk promptly any vessel that might become obsolete but still of some use. Even though cut ting off at the head our new con- struction end may not be prac- tical or desirable, something could be done by painlessly am putating the tail, as it continues to grow. .

Apropos of the pigeon incident, an Alaska airplane is forced down, with damaged machinery, by flock of seaguils, and those who swat flies now and then have to stop their autos and wipe off dead insects that accumulate on the windshield. Thus it seems that although man has pretty much his own way with the lower strata of the animal kingdom, nature steps in at times and swings correcting hand.

The plain truth about these two
bills is that, left to itself, Congress
would pass neither of them. If they
get by, it will be because of the COM
bined weight of the labor lobby and
the President behind one and the farm
lobby and the President behind the
other, There was neither the sort
of public demand or emergency to
justify an extra sesisneThera.oeota
justify an extra session. The real
emergency is the business emergency
and the real legislation needed is relief
from cripppling tax laws rather than
more regulation and reform. Yet the
President, convinced as his friends say
he is of that, cannot bring himself
eiter to drop the regulatory reforms
the Congress does not want to pass
or permit it to pass the tax regulation
it desires. He may not get the reforms,
but Administration leaders, acting
under White House orders, are going
to see that no step toward tax revi-
sion is taken until next year. The
President earnestly processes to want
to help business regain its strength,
but he squelches the movement in
Congress to do the one thing it is
agreed would have an immediate
beneficial effect-to-wit, repeal the
undivided surplus tax, which now has
no defender-not even the President,
himself. They do not make sense, but
such are the facts.

The Extra Session Middle

The Extra Session Middle
So many absurdities have happened
in American politics in recent years
that if the situation in Congress re-
verified to normal that would be news.
There seems slight danger Of it hap
'pening. Yet, full of contradictions as
was the last session, few in or out of
Congress expected quite the state of
affairs which now prevails in this one.
Take, for example, the facts as they
appertain to the two main features of
the Presidents program, for the en-
actment of which he called Congress
into extra session and which he in
sisted could not wait, but must be done
"now," "now," "now." Actually, the
prospects at the moment for passage
both of his Wage and Hour Control
bill and the new Crop Control bill are
not considered good. 1t is easily posi-
BILE one may fail and it is entirely
certain that if either or both measures
go through before Christmas they will
be in shape unsatisfactory to friends
and foes alike, half baked, ill con-
sidered, disjointed and probably un-
constitutional.

outcome seems possible. A look at the

condition of the two proposals at the
close of the second week of the ses-
sion is convincing proof of this. On
the House side the Wage and Hour
bill, urged by one labor faction, the
C. 1. O., and opposed by the other
the A. F. Lis tightly held in the
Rules Committee, from which the
combined efforts of the President, the
Speaker, and the official House leader
so far have not been able to dis
lodge it.
The extraordinary spectacle was
presented on Tuesday by the Demo-
cratic floor leader, with a four-to-one
Democratic majority behind him, zap
pealing," as one statesman pointed
out, ''to his acknowledgements to join
him in discharging his own Demo-
cratic Committee on Rules from fur
Their consideration of the Democratic
Presidents pet bill-and appealing in
vain." If there has been a parallel to
that in the history of the House no one
seems to recall it. An added touch was
given when the Democratic chairman
of the Rules Committee urged imme-
diate tax legislation in direct opposi-
ton to the expressed wishes of the
Democratic Administration.
With the Crop Control bill the stu
alton is not less complicated, but more
so. In the Senate on Tuesday a great
confused mass of words which it took
the clerk more than two hours to read
came out of the Agricultural Commit
tee in the form of bill. Its official
sponsor, Senator Smith, of South Car
DINA, chairman of the committee,
practically challenged the principal of
controlled production, which is the
very heart of the proposition and was
utterly unable to answer questions as
to the cost to the country. He could
not, he irritably said, even approx
mate the cost. He could not say
whether the expense would be half a
billion or three billion. Nor had he any
plan for raising the money, whatever
the amount,
The House farm bill is not yet COM
plete but is expected to be out-so the
leaders say-before the end of the
week. Equally vague as to cost, it is
slightly less drastic than the Senate
bill, but, like the latter, provides for
compulsory rather than voluntary
crop control. The debate, particularly
in the Senate, will be long and bitter.
No human being can more than guess
as to the final form of the measure, or
what it will contain. Certainly on both
sides it will be amended many times
and if it finally energies in Shape to be
sustained by the Supreme Court, even
as now constituted, that will be as
tonishing. 1t is also true that, unless
he chooses again to ignore his own
words, the President could not sign
either House or Senate bill as they
now are, inafmuch as he has insisted
that whatever form the legislation
takes, the money must be provided
without further dislocation of the bud
get.

teeth, in addition to forming prob- lem as to the manner of breaking the habit
 Among these habits are thumb sucking, mouth breathings, lip bit ing, lip sucking, cheek biting and tongue biting; any or all of which, if allowed to continue will produce results, which, in all probability, will prove regrettable later in life.
 It is not the habit in itself that causes the abnormalities, but rather the pressure exerted from such hab- its. It might be sufficient to bring about an abnormal relation of both the upper and lower jaws. This ir- regularity does not always become apparent until long after the erup- ton of the permanent teeth.
