nances from the sale of seals be
put to work at once if we are to
gain Roadway in our efforts to
reduce the tuberculosis death rate
in Florida, writes those in charge
OF the campaign.
The tuberculosis sanitorium is
progressing satisfactorily and
should be completed in the spring
OF 1887, it was pointed out. Floors
and walls are almost complete.
Windows are being set and the
tedious job of interior work will
soon start. 1t is not too soon. it
was said, to begin talking about
its utilization by the tuberculoes
of Monroe county.
There is every indication that
the sale of seals in the 1896 cam
paign exceeded the total of the
previous year. but it is necessary
that seal sale returns be COM
pleted so that the state and local
associations will be able to pro-
coed in apportioning the funds
which will be needed for the great
work that must be done in 1887,
it was shown.

Christmas Seals now, she said,
and an appeal is being made for
the return OF those which have
not been heard from and were

Every penny represented by
the Christmas Seals sent to citi-

the program which the Florida

PRESIDENT DELIVERS AN
NUAL MESSAGE TO SU-
PREME COURT WHICH Is
HEARD OVER RADIO
BY PRESTON GROVER
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Mr.
Roosevelt has set another preced-
ent. He has delivered an annual
message to the supreme court.
True enough, he read the message
to congress while the supreme
court was absent. But without
much of a strain upon the mag ma
ton a person may see members of
the supreme court, each comfort
ably seated near the family radio,
house-slippered feet outstretched,
hardening to the Presidents words.
1.-The vital need" rings out the
Presidents voice from the loud
speaker, sis not an alteration Of
our fundamental law" (perhapS
judicial heads nod concurring
opinions here). "but an increas-
ing'y enlightened view with ref.
erence to it."
At that point may be imagined
the liberal justices smiling wry
concurrence while the "conserva-
tive" heads cease nodding assent
and become grim and grave.
with a better understanding
of our purposes, and a more in
telligent recognition of our needs
as a nation" the President con-
tues, sit is not to be assumed
that there will be prolonged (the
justices noted how the President
raised his voice to accentuate
'prolonged') that there viii
be prolonged failure to bring leg
islative and judicial action into
close harmony"
Leaves Them Guessing
How long is 'prolonged?" Such
a question perhaps strolls in quiet
dignity through the minds of jus.
tees ~ years old, rs years old,
even 80 years old. How "pro-
longed" is oppociti)n likely to be
that is past three score years and
ten. muses. one of the elderly nine
justices. But the Presidents words
stride along. marching head high
out of the loud speaker or across
the printed pag2:
"Means must be found to adapt
our legal forms and our judicial
Interpretation to the actual pres
ent needs of the largest progress
sive democracy in the modern
world"
Means? What means must be
found? Is the President inviting
certain justices to resign? Is he in
viting them to change their minds?
But at that point the President
turns his attention to other affairs,
leaving the justices to null over
the meaning of his words.
Direction Uncertain
Shift the scene back to the cap
ital. There members of the house
and senate also are mulling over
the Presidents words. Those who,
like Senate Majority Leader Rob
inson, feel that a constitutional
amendment is the quick way out
of the wage-hour legislative d.
'lemma, sense that the President
has reined the in. More rampant
are those. such as Senator O'Ma-
honey of Wyoming, who are nour-
ishing plans for wage-hour and
working condition legislation to
function within the constitution.
There is no certainty yet which
way to go. The President asked
that sail be made. without out
lining the course. But he left little
doubt that he expects the supreme
court, in coming decisions on New
Deal laws, to put bellbuoys on
some of the lately encountered

PAY RAISE BILL
IS DELAYED

Hearings on the McCarran pay
increase bill for Federal employees
was further delayed today as the
hour passed for the scheduled
meeting of the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee and quorum did
not attend.
The committee was to meet to-
day on the call of Senator William
j. Bulow CD of South Dakota,
chairman, to decide whether to
hold hearings on any civil service
bill. Senator Bulow planned to
put the question up to the full COM
mittee in executive session because
the Budget Bureau had suggested
delay in view of a study being
made Of Government personnel
problems for the President. 1t is
intimated that the President in
tends to make his own recon-
mendation for congressional ac-
ton at this session.
Today when the chairman failed
to find a quorum he announced
that he would poll the committee
individually but that personally he
was in favor of delaying the hear
ing until Congress has received the
