Washington, November 27 -- Gatherings of organized farmer, business and labdr leaders which are held throughout the nation at this season warrant close attention of the politicians and office-holders. It is only a natural interest for the major subjects at these conventions deal with the relations of government to industry, agriculture and labor. It is noteworthy that all these sessions of private enterprise are held outside Washington because no sounding bosfrd is necessary with the national lawmakers away from their desks. The debate and resolutions expressing the opinions, of the militant groups on current govenmental policies are giveri more consideration than in other years as money and votes from special classes are at stake. The well-laid plans to stage a rally for recovery Under the benign cloak of government sanction seem stymied at this time. Industrial groups feeling suspicious of the meeting on December 9, stole a march by setting an "advance meeting of the Council of Industry in New York December 4 to 5, as a means of counteracting government-inspired accounts of the following week's conference in Washington. Coordinator Berry will probi Fred! T. Colby, 514 Peninsular Ave., ably be obliged to change his tactics Burlingame, California. | as dubious business amen definitely Gilbert Howard, Sturgis, S. P., Co. challenge his native contention that j the NRA will not be revived and "that Mrs. Linus Newman, McHehfy. ! the rally is "solely industry's party." Those who come here December 9, claim they do so in a "tongue-incheek" attitude of doubt. There is no optimistic hope that industrial leaders will reach the desired unanimity as to policies for that is considered an impossibility. The best fi|itcropping anticipated*, is to voice clear and loud a fairly solid front against experimental legislation or extension of the Blue Eagle plosion of the slogan "in union there is strength" when the executive council of the American Federation of Labor meets here! in January to vitalize the dormant issue of craft versus vertical industrial unions and the effect on suggested^ legislation for organized labor; how the House Committees on Ways and Means in charge of tax programs and the House Committee on Appropriation handling exidea. In other words, the toain pur- penditures will harmonize the spread pose of the assembly is to tell the country just what industry is doing to hasten recovery without having distorted interpretations placed on their remarks by • government publicity agencies at what is called "Berry's stooge meeting." Government bureaus are always seeking more power and larger appropriations. The first crqp of annual reports submitted to the President during the week shows there has been no change in the trend. The Federal Trade Commission wants additional authority from Congress. Of particular interest, to those who patronize the chain stores is the demand of the Commission for a law which, will permit the government to keep tabs on special discounts and allowances given by manufacturers without any definite relation to the cost of selling. This proposed measure will undoubtedly revive the controversy between privatetly operated retail outlets and. the chain systems at the next Congressional session. Among the conversational tidbits circulating around the Capitol these ,days are: the' outcome of the President's holiday visit to Warm Springs, Ga., where he is easily accessible to Southern political leaders; the effect of protest resolutions from the. National Grange and other farm groups on the new Canadian reciprocity treaty, which will be reflected especially in Congressional debate; the ex- OLD TIMER SUBSCRIBES between outgo and income for the next fiscal year in view of approaching elections; what emergency agencies will be thrown overboard in an economy move; the reaction of state governments to the new rules of procedure which the Federal Social Security Commission will promulgate as a"guide for action within the next few days. Political strategists are at odds over the advisability of cleaning out the "Brains-Trust" nest. It is argued^ that this removal from spheres of influence would be considered^ a genuine move against sporadic experiments which has private industry, in a stubborn and belligerent mood. The friends of this college crew contend the Republican opposition would make political capital out of a change of front. Conservative elements in the Democratitc ranks believe such a' step would eventually react to the benefit of the Administration. Nothing definite is expected until next year. Qgfly a few of the "Brains-Tru$t" or* iginal cast are now retained on government payrolls. It is reported that this remnant is very unhappy at recent trends in public affairs. The feeling persists that the President is torn between personal friendship and good politics in this controversy. This week we are glad to sUtft subscription of the Plaindealer Harry E. Wightman, who is now located at 724 8th street, Fargo, N. D.

GOOD-LOOKING, PRACTICAL flow AT YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE STORE. 1695 We Drivers 'A Serin of Brief Discussion* on Driving, D*iicatod to the Safety, Comfort and Pleasure of the Motoring Public. Prepared by General Motor* A No. 4--OUR BRAKES WMiAl noticed that whenever a train makes a long enough stop in a station, there's somebody on the Job, dodging in and out under the cars making sure that everything is in good shape for the train to continue Its trip. One of the things choked at every inspection point is the brakes. For nobody knows better than railroads how important it Is to be able to stop when you have to stop. Now, if we think of it in a certain light, we people who own automobiles are all running little transportation systems of our own . . . just like the railroads and airlines and bus companies. Home is the main terminal and there are lots of stops along the line . .. flag stops, you might say, and regular scheduled stops--like the office, the grocery store, the school, the theatre, and our friends' houses. Just like the railroads, one of the main things we need to look out for is our brakes. Of course, everybody knows this and yet somehow or other we're apt te be a little careless about it. Not that brakes don't give us plenty of notice when they're going to need adjustment. As time goes on we find that we can push the pedal lower and lower, till after a while we can shove it down almost to the floor-. boards before "the brakes take hold. Even then we sometimes wait quite a while before we have them adjusted. It just seems to be human nature to put off things like that. They tell us the result is that one-third of all cars on streets and highways at any given time have something wrong with their brakes. The trouble is that when we let our brakes go like that, all of a sudden we may have to make an emergency stop, and we may find it rather embarrassing. Engineers say that if we realized what goes on »n )»rakes we would see why we ought tc keep them checked up. As they explain, it's a story of momentum ana friction, the same old forces we've talked about before. They say that when we get going we build up a certain energy in the fortn of momentum. Now when we want to stop, we can't just destroy that energy, because, scientists tell us. Nature never lets any of its energy be destroyed. We can only convert it into some other form of energy. What brakes really do is to convert specd-energy into heat-energy- When we push down on the brake pedal we press the brake lining against the brake drums and this creates friction that changes the energy to heat. When we have changed all the spMd energy to heat, then we come to a stop. Now modern brakes are very powerful. In fact, % 100-horsepower car will have about 500-hor»epower brakes. They can stop us pretty quickly even from high speeds, but when they do, they simpiy chanfe those speeds into a great deal of heat, ia a very short time. The fact is we sometimes build up temperatures la our brakes -*s high as 1400 degrees! - - ^ It's easy to see that heat like that can cause a lot of trouble. Some of us may think it's fun to rush up to sudden stops, but we might as well realize that we have to pay for that kind of fun in excessive brake wear. It simply doesn't pay to build up brake heat a lot faster than it can be thrown off. And we certainly get hardly anything back in time saved. For instance, if we're going 30 miles an hour, our brakes can stop us in 40 feet if they are all right; but it takes them less than two seconds longer to stop us in twice that distance. How much better it is, under any normal circumstances, to begin to apply the brakes a few seconds earlier and, with gradually increasing pressure, bring our car to an easy stop. As a matter of fact, smooth, gradual stopping wherever the circumstances permit, is generally taken as a sign of a good driver. » Now if we want to keep our brakes safe and'sound, it's important to *•» member what these fast stops do to them. But it's just as important to remember that all stops generate some heat, in our brakes. That's what gradually wears down the linings, and sooner or later makes a brake-adjustment necessary. And that's why we must watch them and see that adjustments aiw" made when they are needed. So maybe it would be a good idea to keep on thinking of our cars as' private transportation systems. If we keep them in good running condition, they will serve us with safety and satisfaction^ Tolecfiron Alarm Cteek. New snd popular model.
