Each has ability fo leadership.
 It might be mentioned at this point that tho Legislature had leadership in it's temporary officers Senator Norman R.

 Labor continues under threaten ing portents, but there are aspects that promise constructive planning and satisfactory conferences.
 Leadership in labor unions may undergo changes which affect meth ods and policies of organizations. Less centralization of power is pre- .saged.
 A London astrologer foretells that Halle Selassie, former emperor of Ethiopia, will find much to cheer him this year. International con- ditions may develop that will return him to his own country in 1898.

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

Q. When a person walking alonl the street with a companion meet an acquaintance, must the compan- ion be introduced?
 A. There is no obligation to do so However, if this person stops for 8 chat with the acquaintance, it would lseem rather rude and embarrassing , to allow the companion to stand lalone without an introduction.
 O. What are a few qualities that make up the perfect traveler?"
 A. Good health, cheerful dispo- sition, especially under unpleasant circumstances, a love for everythinq beautiful, and a keen sense of hu- nor.
 Q. Are olives, radishes, and eel cry passed from time to time dur ing the meal?
 A. Yes; they are not included among the regular courses.

Mir. Hamilton Stays On
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tCnclnnat Enquirer
 John D M. Hamiltons retention as Republican National Chairman by the Republican National Com nittee reflects something more than an overwhelm- ng belief in the ability of the young Kansan as would eem to be indicated by the vote of "A to by which is proffered resignation rejected
 It reflects to extent, paucity of leadership the Republican party. More to the point probably, reflects the absence of anyone else who wants his ob.
 It is not strange that MT. Hamiltons position was not coveted by others, however because it involves he dlsagreeable task of picking up the pieces and )aying off the debsa job for which there may be no hanks when the bands begin to play and the ban lers start waving again in 1940 As can be atested " Messfs. Jouett Shouse and John J. Raskob
 There also was noticeable disposition on the part # many Republicans to feel that MT Hamilton de- elved the job captain of the salvage corps Agree ng on this point were those who blamed him in arge part for the Wreckage as well as those who believed he did the best that could be done during he recent campaign. The remaining Republicans made up of the great majority, obviously could not york up much interest, at this point, in what was lone.
 MT Hamilton, of course, deserves credit for offer ng to resign at strategic time He now has his in iorSement with which to confront critics who will arise later in greater numbers. What else he has will depend largely upon fate and partly upon Mr Hamilton.

TRIPPED UP BY COMMA

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The com ma that Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., omits from his signature on the dollar bill, has wrecked a million dollar swindle |scheme involving both the Red Cross and the credit of the Federal Gov |ernment.

lack of coordination There is absurd overlapping The great army of new government employees ough to be decimated drilled both. The arguments for reform are familiar to everybody but the Time predicts it will not be an easy task to accomplish it says:
 MT Roosevelt must be fully aware that his plans for conducting the public business with greater efficiency will meet with oppo- sition in Congress. This may be yelled and indirect for a time, but it will be active in striving for delay and finally, perhaps in endeaVoring to take the heart out of the Presidents measures. The reasons for such attitude are an open book Senators and Representatives feel that they have vested interest in the Federal offices, and that the President is proposing to attack or impair it. Through party committees and in other ways they have placed their own men in various branches of the Government service and will not quietly submit to their being displaced compelled to prove their fitness by com petitive examination. As many times before it will be the adverse and obstructive power of Congressional patronage that will do its best to balk the reforms for which the President proposes anew to strike
 The great and ultimate aim is to secure permanent body of trained civil servants American deficiencies in this respect have long been obvious At the time when the National Reconstruction Act was about to be enforced, an Engshman said that he doubted if even the British civil service would be equal to the strain of new and complex duties laid upon it by such law He feared that our system would break down under it-as, in fact it did. The spells system is the deadly enemy of governmental efficiency. One or the other has to go down in the struggle be- tween them. The common hope is that the President will be able to use his added pres tige and authority to make sure that the political spOilesmen get the worst of it in the coming battle
