The pent-up emotions of the legislators have been* released by the humidity. They do not relis-h the idea: of a continued session especially in view of the mounting volume of mail received from constituents---communications of a critical nature which contribute to the ferment of unrest and . uncertainty. These factors may ,>.viVei»tually• spell'success for the major part of the President's program. The ^lie-bards" among tnose opposed to " delegating wide powers to the Chief '• -Executive admit that their battle for X"-'t*tentioli of power for the legislative ^ .branch is quite futile at this time. >•„ The greatest confusion prevails c'? throughout the, country a* to" how the new "industrial recovery bill will be interpreted and applied to industries ' and labor groups. Even the men who jfere responsible for the House Bill >i|fcjre at odds as to what will be the outgrowth of this legislation describv'ed as "the niost revolutionary experiment in the annals of the country." ; It is apparent that the measure was purposely vauge to permit the admin- . Ifctrators wide latitude in decisions. The uncertainty at the Capitol is liaving a paralyzing effect on all branches of industry. The business leaders are cognizant that the govern- : jfient, under the terms .of the bill, will have the authority tb discard old hatd " find fast rules of® management. The •fverage citizen now indifferent to the • measure, will soon find that the effects will mean something to him. The government will have authority to prescribe codes of minimum wages «nd hours of work--items which figare prominently in every man's life IjJntil there is some definite statement ; As to the changes which the law will ; Tbring to each industrial group, plans for a revival of business will necessarily be held in abeyance and this flneans temporary stagnation. Secre- • \ tary of Labor Perkins is charged with being the moving force back of this v-vlgirogram. Many business men insist that she is an idealist and social re- .form type whose ideas however laudable are impractical. Miss Perkins, at least, is one Cabinet official who ' bas access to the ear of the President. The failure of high enforcement officials of the last Administration to take action against questionable practices of big bankers will make hard Sledding for appointees to these offices. The'Senate has made it clear that it proposes a searching inquiry Into the qualifications and above all the business connections of all candidates. As consequence Democrtaic attorneys who were putting on pressure ^or jobs at the Department of Justice ire not so keen for these honors. A ; -lhan may be thoroughly ethical in his professional career but a belligerent Senate may choose to make mountains out of molehills. The real powerful men that Roosevelt leaders had ^ In mind for berths of importance firmly declined all offers rather than 'j'^.fndnre a Senate committee® inquisition. The Senate's power of confirmation often results in unfair public «ondemnation of otherwise reputable Citizens proposed for government posts. There are many Senator* and Representatives who will prefer traveling this summer and fall rather than face knotty political problems in their atate in regard to repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. They do not trant to express an opinion which - Slight backfire at the next election. The group from "dry" states are - hopeful that the President will come to their rescue and make a direct ap- - --peal to the people on the basis that liquor must be permitted or more taxes imposed. It is an issue fraught With danger for office-seekers. The democratic chieftains plan to sell the X Idea of quick repeal on the taxation "~y#nd not the moral issue. X The railroad re-organization plan of {Resident Roosevelt may not escape Aurial in committees. Efforts to expedite the consideration of the meas- X tkre have been side-tracked. The pro- ' posal has so many ramifications that V »rgeements are out of the question. "X The railway brotherhoods apparently . Jfcave the {upperfhand as they have practically written clauses which : fvould prevent wage iuts for many Xirjjears. The railway officials argue that the rail '•transportation systems V- frill never be successfully operated Unless labor groups are willing to 3|ffect certain economies. In passing it may be said that the brotherhoods, working apart from the -American Federation of Labor are - itrongly entrenched here. Their chief Counsel, Donald Richberg has grown in power until he is considered a lav bor policy advisor to the President. vX:,SVilliam Green and other Labor Federation officials do not take kindly to the rising star of Mr. Richberg as the X-:..|jwo national labor unions do not play hall on major problems.

ALIEN NATIONS CAN | - PAY, EXPERT SAYS s of Vast Wealth of the European Countries. Washington.--A statistical denial of -the claim that loss of world trade following the World war and a consequent impoverished condition on the part of America's debtors makes thera unable to meet their obligations to this country fs contained In a survey of the trade of T08 nations submitted to the senate banking and currency committee by Henry Woodhouse. New York economist. Mr. Woodhouse offered v statistics showing that world trade Increased by $24,000,000,000 after the war. The trade of Great Britain alone, he said, increased (51 per cent in the years T026 29 over the 15)11-13 period, while Prance's commerce, on the basis of comparison, Jumped 84 per cent.. Italy's increase was 53 p#r and Germany's 18 per cent, . * Face Financial Awakening. "The statements of the debtor nations that,. the.v all lost in the WoS'lfl war and have been unah'e to recover since will be shown to be unfounded ; by evidence that the amount of deX posits In their commercial banks after the World war and since have been* larger than they were before the war by sums far In excess of the amount of their debts to the United States." These increases, Mr. Woodhouse stated, began after the war and continued steadily upward until the stock market crash of 1929. Nor has the growth in world trade been the only omen of Increasing^ prosperity In America's debtor nations since the close of the war. according to the New York economist. "prance," he told the committee, "could give a check for what she owes, out of the increase In bank deposits In her banks." Big French Increase. "The increase of the deposits of . the French people and°industries after the war," he went on; "Is almost incredible." In addition, the economist told the committee his survey Indicated an Increase of approximately $5,000,000,000 In deposits In British banks over the pre-war level. Germany's Increase in commercial bank deposits since the close of the war has amounted to 1,- 024 per cent, he said. "I believe," Mr. Woodhouse continued, "that you would find that It Is possible for.the nations to pay. They could have paid the entire amount by now. The gold resources of the large debtor nations are larger than are represented. They have great resources besides those reported by their central banks. As far as I hare been able to ascertain the debtor nations hold over $5,000,000,000 of United States bonds, which they could turn in In payment of their debt" y xPE HOME WORK A eesple of men had been vat pretty late the night before and they were comparing notes the following day. ••My wife lectured me for half an hour.

England's First Postal Service Started in 1522 In England there were «private posts In the reign of Edward III. Later the name of Sir Brian Tuke, designated "Magister, Nunciorum Cursorum sive Postarum," is mentioned and those of Sir William Paget, John Mason and Thomas Randolph occur in connection with postal business. The last of these worthies was known, in 1581, as-chief postmaster for Kngland. The office of postmaster for foreign parts was created, by James I in 1619 and Matthew de (Juester was appointed to the position. The first regular system of internal posts was proclaimed by Charles I in 1635. He commanded that there be "a running post or two, to run night and day between Edinburgh and l<ondon, to go thither arid come back again in six days." In 1G44. Edmund Prideatik, a member of the house of commons, was appointed master of the posts, and first established a weekly conveyance of letters Into all portions of the nation. A penny post was organised In London and vicinity in 1681, by Robert Murray. Its revenues were annexed to the crown in IftOO. A general post for the British colonies was in effect by 1710. * . ;; . Roger t count of Thur^ Taxis, and /Valsassiha, ,in the second, half W the Fifteenth century established a postal system in the Tyrol between Germany and Italy. His son set up another ffom Brussels to Vienna in 1516 at the request of BJmpertir Maximillian I. There was a post between Vienna and Nuremberg in 1522, and Charles V, anxious to have news as speedily aS possible from distant portions of his states, ordered a permanent riding post from the Netherlands through Liege, Treves, Spire and Rhelnhausen, through Wurttemburg, Augsburg and Tyrol to Italy.

Steps were soon taken to Improve this condition and a system for perforating stamps was patented by Henry Archer. Great Britain purchased this patent and after iBome Improvements began issuing perforated stamps In 1854. Within * few years post of the larger countries had bought machines or had built them along similar Ideas. Machines for perforating stamps are built on one of two mechanical principles, either operating in a rotary manner with the perforating pins arranged on the rim of a' small wheel, or in a vertical direction with the pins on a bar like the teeth of a comb. Either type may be built to perforate single rows of 6tamps, or entire sheets, at one operation.--Chicago Tribune. : "Wonder why Wall Street wall ever SO called?" "£ver gone np against lt^^ld x^a*!"
