Ed Vogel Washington, December 7--Spectacular stunts at the beginning of the present session of Congress provoke uneasiness as to real accomplishments. The President's annual message and the important budget are relatively routine matters.v The atmosphere is charged with uncertainty largely because the legislative leaders are obviously creating noise by scatter-shot methods instead of availing themselves of a few instruments capable of direct hits. The avalanche of bills in the legislative hopper on the first day are privately considered wasted for few proposals stand a chance of final enactment. Already the alibi cry of time is, too short it this session". The plea forecast a minimum of essential laws and authorizations for appropriations. There is a marked disposition in this Congress to procrastinate by substituting oratory for definite measures. , The reigning subjects are prohi$rXtion repeal, taxation, war debts, economy in government, tariffs, farm and unemployment relief and patronage. The public will be sadly mistaken if it accepts without question the action of House leaders on the "wet and dry" question. The Senate prides itself on being the "greatest deliberative body in the world" which means prohibition repeal measures * will Jbe subjected to endless debate. The utmost care must be exercised in drawing these bills to prevent the courts from voiding Congressional intentions. A Presidential veto cannot be overridden in the short session where it requires a two-thirds vote of each house. Truly, the intricacies of law-making" cannot be appreciated by the average layman. At this time when t\yr public mind is agitated on a number of problem's, certain "groups of legislators are not averse to squandering valuable time on trivial matte re jfjFhe dissensions over the elections haVe no real bearing on urgent legislative\problems. The President-elect does nowwant an extra session on his hands imyecH^tely after taking over the ship of state. Some Republican strategists regard as good policy a plan forcing importar;t business over beyond March 4. Some of the army of newly elected Democratic legislators welcome the idea of a special call. They prefer to joid for fame in the glamour of speechmaking and other public appearances at the Capitol. These types of public servants resent the comparative obscurity of being seen in their offices only. This physchology may bring added troubles to Mr. Roosevelt next spring. Recommendations of . President Hoover to Congress will eventually take shape in bills now being drafted by Administration spokesmen in the Senate and House. The fact that Mr. Hoovpr renewed some suggestions which were turned down at the last session shows quite clearly that he intends to hold fast in his advocacy of principles. Committees will start hearings next week when bills introduced the first few . days have been printed and studied. The House Appropriations Committee will have one department budget out o\ the way within ten days. The Judiciary Committee of the House acting, under orders of Speaker Garner, rushed the beer measures with only prefunctory hearings. The joint committee on economy is,, besieged by government employes desirous of having the eight, per cent cut abolished. The pressure for economies in powerful circles back hom<* preclude a surrender to Federal employes requests for restoration if pay scales. Another bitter battle over tax system has been precipitated with ths approval of a sale tax plan by the Administration. It is doubtful that a general sales levy will be adopted at the ihort session but the ground-work will be laid. Business generally is willing to take a sales tax in place of the special luxury taxes and higher income rates. The stumbling blocks to immediate revision may be found with the American Federation of Labor and Farm organizations. These classes have enough votes to prevent passage of a sales impost in the Senate and probably in the House. Several filibusters have been booked for the Senate which spells delay for important legislative measures when Midividual Senators pet schemes are discarded. A filibuster is a parliamentary device permitting reprisals by talking an objectionable item to death. A "lame duck" refuses to admit his own record could be responsible for defeat at. the polls. It is astounding how many defeated Republican legislators drop the charge for their reversals to President Hoover. They would have you believe they were martyrs to fhe party and its leader. Reports trickling from their districts show that the anti-Hoover sentiment was important but not ordinarily of sufficient weight to cary down incumbents unless their constituents had tired of them, too.

STORES CELEBRATE ORE-THIRD CENTURY OF PROGRESS *World'* Fair Food Store" _ ' in the Lateat Achievement in Food Retailing ' #nst as Chicago's 1933 World's F»ir nuts a Century of Progress mf mankind's development, just so does the National Tea Co.'s 83rd anniversary mark a third of a Century of Progress in the economical distribution of foods to the people Of the Middle West. 'x? v i First Store Opened 1896- - On December 8th, jthe first National Tea Co. store |was established at 1323 Belmont •Ave., in Chicago. Mr. George iRasmussen, the owner and founder 'of this store had a great vision: fthe establishment of numerous food (outlets direct from farmer or man-, iufacturer to the consumer. Today, on the 33rd anniversary, you will find stores.of this great food distributing organization in eight states where thousands of families profit daily as a result of the fulfillment of this man's dream. The organization of chain stores dates back hundreds of years. Several centuries ago a chain of importing houses was started in Japan and this same house still flourishes today. In this country we have excellent examples of chains that were started with the arrival of the colonists. The great India Trading Co. had many branch trading posts scattered along the frontier. Another company is the Hudson Bay Trading Co. which is In existence today. Chain Stores Fill Need { Thus the chain store idea has .survived the years until today the ! chain is of vast importance, in fact, |an essential agency for the distribution of the necessities of life. Why has the chain been so successful through all these years ? Simply because the most people are benefited by this method of distribution. Impartial leaders and unbiased schQlars in all fields, substantiated by authentic fact finding research, acknowledge the valuable service rendered by chain store organizations such as the National Tea Co. National Helps Communities A number of university professors have recently made an exhaustive survey of food prices and report that the chain store definitely saves the housewife an important percentage of her daily purchases. | This saving remains with the consumer in each community to do with ! what she will and when spent 'creates additional business for other ! merchants. There are many other important ways in which an organiza tion such as the National Tea Co. distinctly benefits the community. In the November issue of a na tional periodical, one of the coi pany's officials describes National.' Tea Co.'s expansion and development program. The remarkablo. thing about this program was that' despite the nation wide adversity, it has been carried through vigorously « and with enthusiasm. The keynote of this company has been progress.' As evidence of this fact, the Na-f : tiOnal Tea Co. has remodeled, re- , built and opened over 250 stores.' ' This was all accomplished during -, the last three lean years when unemployment has been on the rise, * building and construction virtual-, , ly at a standstill and expansioajprogirams almost non-existent. " A -K j ' Employment Increased » An example of National Tea Co.'s unwavering progress is to be found, in the many communities throughout the eight states where this. large chain has stores. Hef-e you will see brand new stores, sparkling and shining, inviting the house wife's attention, or you will find a remodeled store where a new meat department has been in-" stalled or other changes made in the store. All this activity required the employment of tradesmen who, in many cases, would not have had work otherwise. In addition, equipment and fixtures were purchased from factories which were feeling the effects of the depression. This business helped to make the wheels of their factories turn. , 33 Years of Progress • .' Thus National Tea Co. celebrates its 33rd anniversary, truly in a' spirit of accomplishment--a third of a century of progress. Tribute is paid to Chicago's World's Fair Ex- . position by designating the latest super food stores as "World's Fair" food stofes, in every respect a symbol of progress. But just as National Tea Co. co-operates with the 1933 . * Centennial Exposition so also does it co-operate with the communities in which its stores are located. It takes an active interest in community events, it participates in worth while activities-sponsored fcy the community. Numerous memberships are held by National Tea Co. either directly or indirectly in local Chambers of Commerce. A cordial invitation is extended to the people of the middle west to visit the National Tea Co. stores during this 33rd anniversary sale. Remember, "33" is a magic number; it signifies the date of the great Chicago's World's Fair Exposition. It also symbolizes onethird of a century of progress in the retailing of the necessities of life by this great chain. The National Tea Co. manager will be hapny to give you further interesting nform&tion about his company. ^ ' v-' Real Happinear ^ ^ Do you know people *who always have to b« certain places In order to be happy? frhey should be Joyous within themselves regardless of place.

Gasolines Visits McHenry SKttLV COMMNV G. L. Farnpworth, Research Engineer, and L(b1> Schmoll, Assistant, of Skelly TesttQar which was here Wednesday A complete laboratory on wheels made 'a brief stop in MsHenry on Wednesday, pausing on an extensive tour of the state of Illinois. It is a fully equipped motor car, traveling for Skelly Oil Company and making scientific road tests of gasolines. Those who looked inside this aluminum- coated traveling laboratory saw an array of the most up-to-date equipment. Instrument boards showed many dials and meters, and there were tanks and glass gauges. Small cabinets within the car contained test tubes, vessels and other necessary supplies for a chemist. There was an electrical potentiometer, connected with a series of twelve thermocouples located at twelve points on the car. Two instruments were used for measuring wind velocity, one an anemometer fixed cn braces in front of the radiator, and the other a glass tube called the Pitot tube.' Other instruments included a manometer for measuring manifold vacuum; a hydrometer to determine gasoline gravity; an elaborate glass-tube arrangement for analyzing exhaust gases; an altimeter which shows geographic elevation; a hygrometer for measuring the humidity of the air, and the gasoline meter used in the making of mileage tests. With these instruments it is possib'e to accurately find out the mileage secured from all kinds of gasoline under all conditions. Conditions affecting starting and acceleration are observed. The efficiency of the motor with different gasolines is determined. Every 15 minutes 44 different entries are made on the report form by the engirteer. According to Mr. Farnsworth, these are the first extensive practical tests on gasoline and motor efficiency ever made by any oil company. Mr. Farnsworth, research engineer, commenting upon the work of the Skelly test car, said: "We are making these tests "on all kind's of roads and under all conditions. I take readings of the various Meters almost constantly while we are moving. I must keep an accurate check on virtually every instrument and record the readings at regular intervals during the day for a complete report which I send every day to the Skelly research laboratory in El Dorado, Kan. "'You see this is only one of a large fleet of Skelly test cars now traveling over the Middle West, and each is in charge of a petroleum chemist Their daily reports are recorded at the main Skelly laboratory and analyzed. In this way ,our research director is receiving1 a mass of scientific data. We are not at liberty at this time to tell the exact reason why this information is being gathered." Mr. Farnsworth added that the' fleet of Skelly test cara is now - traveling through ten states, covering about 185,000 miles on all kinds of roads and highways. • . 1000 times for a New GAS RANGE in 1935 1 4 I 'S iGive Iftihsr a sparkling all-enamcl Gas Range before the holidays begin!
