WOT TO RUM / jfrlGN OVER A NEW YORK MAKERS 5HOP JHE CIVIL WAR " ia. WOOLEN AMERICAN FLAB WA* EMITTED IN ONE CAY BY ZOO WOMEN AMD ONE MAN -BOSTON-1935 Washington, Nov. 11--It is remarkable how the present Congress interprets the election returns. Apparently, most of the lawmakers visualize the nationwide voting as a mandate for the legislative body to assume more responsibility for i olicy-making in wartime. They take their cue from the generally accepted version that the vote expressed the people's dissatisfaction with the way the administrative agencies have handled war problems. However, with the strong prospect that the highly controversial manpower issue will be sidetracked until next year,. it seems unlikely that problems of major proportions will be available to test the post-election change in congressional sentiment. Conscious of the obstacles to legislation for mandatory control over civilian labor, the President is expected to detour with an executive order arming the War Manpower Commission with broad powers to enforce their drastic program. Incidentally, the issuance of this White House directive may bring to a boiling point congressional resentment against the scope of "executive orders." Left smoldering over the election period was the antagonism to these administrative orders which were in many respects contrary to the intent of congress in granting the President certain discretionary authority. The case in point is the directive of Economic Adminstrator Byrnes limiting salares to $25,000. It is argued that the national legislature refused to auT thorize this feature in the recent tax and anti-inflation bills. The fact that the White House officials took it upon themselves to act without a specific grant of authority and presumably based upon wide war powers, alarms Congress. Michigan's Senator Vandenburg says the tip-off of Capitol thinking on the alleged usurpation of authority by referring to the latest executive order as "the precedent may plague us on another day when its application may not be quite as pleasant to our mass citizenship." Therefore, more than usual interest attaches to the ways and means the administrative wing will adopt to circumvent congressional opposition ,to publicly announced manpower mobilization plans. It is one subject which brings employers and labor unions into a common ' opposition. Management sees offices and plants stripped of personnel. Unions attack job freezing and compulsory assignment of workers to war jobs as undemocratic. The scarcity of labor in war plants will be acentuated by the registration of women for war service., Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins estimated that at least 3,000,000 women must be recruited into the nation's labor force in the next twelve months to prevent Jabor shortages. It is estimated that 13,000,000 women are now employed in industry and that many, millions more who are not now employed are able and willing to take jobs, thereby releasing men for fighting duty. Publication of the details of Director McNutt'g report to .the president will probably signal loud protests from the farm bloc in congress. It is stated the commission's findings are critical of wage schemes on commercial farms and the relationship of farm prices to wage scales generally. *"' The possibility of an effective coalition in the next congress between Republicans and conservative Democrats is already reflected in government agencies. Many bureaus which are not directly related to the war effort realize that the growing demand for economies in expenditures will reach * new peak in January when the new session is called to order. The result is a pronounced attempt to hurry recommendations from the Budget Bureau for the early consideration of the House Appropriations Committee, which of late has been generous. With b powerful bi-partisan economy bloc )n prospect, it is unlikely that the heavy spenders will hare their way. jLikewise, there are some tdfe-ends of legislation heretofore considered as relatively minor which will be pushed through while the administration has h forking majority in the Senate and House. A "Lame Duck" or defeated legislator is always more amenable to suggestions than his successful colleague. The reason is, of course, that he expects a reward in the form of last-Mkinute patronage or an appointment to a high-paying federal job. As meat rationing approaches, the federal government has appealed to governors of all states to co-operate in0"a nationwide educational campaign by the civilian defense and nutrition organizations for fair sharing of the civilian meat supply." The purpose is to ease the impact of controlled consumption of food and discourage hoarding. The Department of Agriculture has been given authority to control livestock disposition, to avert congestion when this fall's record meat crop goes to market. War Production Board also asks housewives to reduce canned goods purchases by at least one can a week, to release can-making materials for requirements of American and Allied fighting forcef. Calculating Apparatus Checks Songs' Popularity With unfaltering accuracy the Performing Eight society keeps count of every song, dance tune, sonata, and symphony publicly performed in Britain and in the empire. This involves analyzing and dissecting some 400,000 musical proframe annually, containing about ,000,000 items. Then, from statistics thus extracted, it 'must determine exactly what fees are owing to individual song writers, composers, and publishers. A colossal responsibility. Points are awarded to each piece, according to its character^ and duration. Each point represents only a fraction of a penny. As a dance tune "Piano Concerto" earns one point every time it is played; a symphony by Elgar would be given 240 points. In 1935 there was a pool of 150,- 000,000 points available for distribution. Converting these points into pounds, shillings and pence, so that each copyright holder gets his proper dues, was a brain-aching task thait formerly worried 150 clerks. Now at Copyright House, the so* ciety's London headquarters^ there is a battery of Hollerith machines which, whirring day and night, punches holes in cards, denoting the points allocated each piece. It is immaterial whether a symphony is played at the Queens Hall or by local bandsmen at Slocumbe-in-the- Mud--it earns in each instance the same number of points. Other robots sort out the punctured cards, transferring them into tabulated groups. Finally, the last mechanical battery, with unerring precision, tots up the points, and, with equal facility, translates them into cash. Accordingly, as millions of musical compositions whirl round and round, singers' "golden notes" become automatically--banknotes!' • ••i-t St. Mary's Catholic Choral ;.

Eskimo Dogs Adoption The famous Eskimo dogs of the Arctic are adopted into the Eskimo family when puppies by a sort of ceremonial message, each having his legs pulled and stretched so that he may run well, his back kngaded, so that he may be strong to carry a burden. They pull his ears, and whisper into them, to make his hearing keen; Mow their breath into his nostrils to make him keen-scented and able to follow a trail, and to discover seal holes under the snow. Then a name is given to the puppy, a small harness put on him, and he is tied to a post or some heavy article so that probably the first thing he learns is how to pull. Pulling will be his main work all his life. If it is wteter, the puppy and his mother will have a small snowhouse, with dry grass, or an old skin with fur on it, to keep them warm. If it is very cold, they may be taken into the house for a time. If the family needs to travel, the woman may put a puppy in her bootleg, which is quite wide, or in the hood of her coat, beside her own baby, to keep it warm. And always they talk to it as though it were a child. DK. FEED 0. MTT.T.KIt M.D. Specialising fa» Eye Work Win he at office of Dr. A. I. Freehlich, corner Elm and Green fltisrts by appointment.
