many things stored away.
 How would you like to be caught with 20 pairs of shoes in your closet-with 40 pounds of sugar in the storeroom, with canned goods in cases, with cartons of cigarets?
 Now we can think before we rush out to buy supply of a soon- to-be-scarce commodity, Would L want to be caught dead with these?" instead of the old worry, What if I'm caught without any of this or that?"
 We can rationalize and defend our stocking up on scarce commod- ities when we're alive - but you have to pc alive to try to convince people it's anything but just plain hoarding.

 That fear of being caught with out any extra shoes on our shelves, liquor in the cabinet, or canned goods in the basement has haunted us enough to make us fork over cash for things we wanted at the moment-only because we might not be able to get them at some later date.
 But now there's a little story to replace the fear of being caught that ought to give us new fear short.
 A Michigan man recently died and in his house were found thou sands cases of canned goods, sacks of sugar, a refrigerator full of meats, cases of beer and ale, and in the yard drums of gasoline and two brand-new tires. TOO MUCH, TOO SOON
 So the new fear ought to be that instead of being caught short some of us might be caught with too

where mistletoe is sold by the ounce
and holly is weighed out berry by
berry, she has an irresistible urge to
gather free decorations.
A few days ago I wrote Of the
mammoth tree she had set her eyes
and heart on. Well, it now sways
majestically in the living room,
strung with more miles of wire than
is used to light all the homes in
Buffalo. The floor is ankle-deep in
pine needles, the mantelpiece says
under the weight of assorted bushes,
brambles, briars and boughs. There
is so much holly scattered about
that the room has the appearance
of having suffered a bloody nose,
and even such a great lover as
Casanova, working overtime, could
not in a years time do all the kiss
ing that the mistletoe invites.
To enter the room Is to gain the
effect Of having been suddenly
dropped into some dark, remote
jungle spot. One almost expects to
hear the laughter Of troops of mon
keys, the shrill cry of brilliantly
plumaged birds and to see q giant
snake come tumbling In rings from
the dense foliage.
1t is even money that st. Nicholas,
as fearless man as he is, won't
visit us this year. One look from
the fireplace at our living room and
he'll beat Bitten and Bonner of
the rooftop. Even If he were brave
enough to try to get to the tree to
leave our gifts, he couldn't make it.

days.
Corrects 1912 Ruling.
The bill in question is known as
the Hobbs misunderstanding bill anG
1t would seem one which, except
for the particular groups affected
should command unanimous sup
port. 1t is simply designed to correct
a situation created by Supreme
Court decision of 1912 exempting
labor unions from Federal penalties
for obstructing commerce by rob-
berry and extortion. There is prac-
tically no defense of this decision
and no reasonable argument is made
as to why labor unions should be
allowed to commit crimes for which
other organizations and individuals
are penalized.
1t is significant and revealing
fact that the opposition to the bill
is led by Representative Marcan-
tonic of the Communistic American
Labor party and that the most
violent Journalistic denunciation
comes from the Daily Worker, the
Communist party organ. The bill
was passed by big vote in the
House. The Daily Worker now pro-
claims that "the Senate must kill
the Hobbs BILL" and Mr.. Mar
cantonjo declares, There isn't any
question but that we can stop 1t In
