When a chimney refuses to draw, or actually back-drafts, so as to drive smoke out of the stove into a room, it is usually a case of some obstruction near it which extends to a higher' level than, does the top of JOHNSBURG Mrs. Peter Smith spent a few days with Mrs. Laurence Baer in Chicago.

And in most of their private • s. Conversations t^iey agree with the .^President. However, the proposal has „ ' ®ne big hitch.

Also in private Congressmen, who are opposed to ^ •> government spending on a large scale, ' believe that the best way to curtail this spending is to broaden the tax base so that more people will become .tax conscious. V :3 Many predictions about the actual Adjournment date fill th» city. All Continue to agree that the Capitol loors could be closed about the middle 6f July if one BIG IF can be removed. 3^-The BIG IF is still neutrality. The " Administration wishes a neutrality law Wnich will permit the sale of American goods to any nation which has the Cash and means to come here and obtain them. Supporters of the Administration viewpoint say that this kind of a neutrality act would benefit the democracies in the event they should become embroiled in a war with the totalitarian states. This group argues that this would be assured as they take for granted that the English and •French navies would control the seas. The other group, while equally friend, ly to the democracies, contends that such a neutrality law would eventually draw the United States into the war on the side of the democracies. Further, this group argues that the only sure way to keep out of war is to play turtle like and draw into a shell when trouble stalks abroad. How these two divergent viewpoints jvill be reconciled by the middle of July is the question stumping the Capital city. No one will wager much on the outcome but •many predict that tome way to settle or postpone the contest will be found. Some predict the Administration will win its point. Others predict that the whole issue will be postponed until next session. Did timers argue that when Congress has completed all of its chores except neutrality that a way will be found. They say that such has been the history of previous sessions. None other than Mrs. Norton, Chairman of the House Labor Committee, is author of the statement that efforts to amend the labor law have been abandoned for this session. But hearings on amendments to the law are continuing. Business is insisting that the business story about the operations of that law and the way the Labor Board has functioned must be placed in the official Congressional records. Unless this is done the business group contends that efforts to revise the act will be just as difficult next session as this. •There also is more than a possibility that the House may adopt the Anderson resolution which proposes an investigation of the Board itself. A significant report on "Union Activities and Labor Relations in 1938 has just been issued by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. More wage earners belonged to bona fide national and international labor organizations in 1938 than at any time in the history of the United States, the Bureau's report disclosed. In its survey on collective bargaining covering the past year, it was found that fewer strikes occurred and that organized labor was in a stronger position as to agreements in force than at the close of 1937. The number of workers belonging to unions at the end of 1938 totaled more than 8,000,000. "On the whole," the report said, "the attitude of employers toward collective bargaining during 1938 was varied. Some employers flatly refused to recognize the union or to sign written agreements after conferring with representatives of their workers. Oth3r employers felt that open antagonism to unions was unwise and proceeded formally to meet the requests of their employees and sign an agreement, but failed in reality to carry out real day-: to-day collective bargaining. Some made unusual efforts to improve plant working conditions and personnel poli- , cies with the hope that their employees' gradually would lose interest in trad<»- unions. However, in a large number i of cases management showed a sin-1 cere desire to fit their personnel policies within the framework of collec-1 tive bargaining, although in some instances the demands of the trade-uni°n seemed to conflict with what had formerly been considered good personnel practice." At this particular time of year whan vacationists are fascinated by tinkling bells and flashing buoys they may envy the government employees handling this work.

It should extend several feet above the level of the ridge of the roof of the house, or other buildings or trees close to the building on which the chimney is located. Poor draft may be due to too small a flue, a rough surface on the inside of the flue or to a leaky fiue wall, the last condition being the result of pporly filled mortar joints when the chimney was built or to deterioration of thfe' mortar due to the action of smoke >and its condensation into tarry liquid.

Sometimes, to your regret, you bought the "just as good" item but sometimes you walked out of the store and searched until you found the merchandise you had asked for in the first place. When you got it you were satisfied. You had confidence in the advertised geodsCbecause you read in the honest pronouncements of the advertiser what you might expect his product to do for you. This gave you assurance. You bought because you had confidence. But when that clerk palmed off something different on y«u, you had misgivings, you had doubts* you had fears, you had lack of confidence. Maybe they were justified. Maybe they were not. It doesn't matter. The fact remains that advertising had invested the advertiser's goods with a confidence which made your buying a pleasant in place of a fearful duty. Usually, but not always, these "just as good" goods are not as >U as a ince aj>- > apd in I "to pa- BUT ITS JUST AS GOOD good--they are inferior and the merchant sells them because they carry more profit for him. He does his level best to get rid of them, because it is more to his advantage to do so than it is to yours. Many stores pay their salesman a commission for selling unknown and unadvertised goods, because the salesman would not sell them without some special inducement. It Is much better for you consumer to put your reliance solutely in advertised goods stores which advertise, and patronize both exclusively. When a man advertises his goods and tells frankly and publicly what the^y will do for you, he seeks your patronage on the basis of actual value. It may be that some manufacturers or merchants can offer just as good value in unknown or unadvertised goods. But the chances are ten to onet that they can't--because advertising not only increases the distribution of goods, but at the same time increases the production, so that advertised goods cost less to make; hence, gives more to the buyer. In the long run you get more for your .money when you buy advertised goods. You get more in actual value. And also get more in that intangible value, known as confidence. And confidence is one of the chief satisfactions of life. R Charles B. Roth. Charles Roth Mr. and Mrs. Mike Gorski and children of Woodstock spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Joe P. Miller.

Various motives for the action of Russia are given, the most plausible of which is that the Crimean war had left with her bitterness toward France and England.
