Save money; use a 25â€"ride The American way of starting in to do big things in 1926, is to loaf on the first day of the year. We are told to loosen up our purse strings, but that won‘t help much unâ€" til the holes in the same are sewed up. And the greatest z‘;hm is Conâ€" gress. When all else him, all the funny man or the g-nm‘pher needs to do is to take a hitch in his trousâ€" ers, say "Hello folks" and‘ hand a wallop at Congress! Without such blesged help as this, we might be beâ€" reft of such public benefactors as Ring Lardner, Abe Martin and Will Rogersâ€"and that would be a nationâ€" al calamity, f f In a great newspaper last winter I read one of the familiar editorials demanding to know, sir, "what Jaws Congress has passed, though it has been in session sincée Decemiber!" And behold:â€" in the same great newspaper only a few days later the same able editor thundéred that, "there are too many laws, too many laws," and that, "Congress should put a stop to this lawâ€"making." . f i The new brooms of . politics will probably continue to sweep under the sofa until after the 1926 clection: And how come?: . As well.ask how come all the ‘endless talk. about the weather,. | There simply must be a common coin of conversation. The funnym‘inintheuhow,dndthenm paper paragrapher must have always within easy reach some familiar page upon which to hang his witticisms. Three reliable ones are the motherâ€"inâ€" law, the baldbheaded man, and Conâ€" gress. $ And Congress gets it goin‘ and comin‘ for when a determined people make up their mind to enjoy their cussin‘ they will not be denied, It is not my intention to ‘picture Congress as a little angel with wings and everything. Congress has its faultsâ€"some little, some great : and glaring, and some the big, glorious faults that string along with demâ€" ocracy and liberty. But it might be ‘Baseball may still be the great Aâ€" merican game, but it has its limiâ€" tation. It is seasonal, and outâ€"door only. For| which reasons and others it may well look to its title, with a conâ€" tender that is both indoor and outâ€" door and runs the year ‘round.

These paintings © have recently arâ€" rived in America and will be exhibited in Chicago for the first time in this country. There will be twentyâ€"four pictures in all, consisting wholly of landscapes,; and as may be imagined the majority of them will be scenes of snow, ice and running water, for Mr. Fjastad is noted as Sweden‘s preâ€" mier snow painter. Formerly a chamâ€" pion skater, Fjastad pictures as does no other artist the inviolate whiteâ€" ness of : winter. His technique has individuality, his type is naturalistic and yet is, possessed o:.genlt beauty of design. Critics con that rareâ€" ly ‘have snow and frost effects been so . convincingly . painted. â€" Gustaf Fjastad is a native of Stockholm, born there in the year 1868. SWEDISH ARTIST TO * EXHIBIT WORK HERE "If I were a buyer, I would try to educate myself up to the point where I would know that my representaâ€" tions were accurate when advertiseâ€" ments were being prepared for the newspapers. Then I would see to it that the members of the selling staff were properly instructed and do not misrepresent â€" the .merchandise at the countersâ€"that they did not say some piece of goods is linen, when it is cotton, for instance. You cannot remedy a mistatement like that. It is too late. ‘The wrong has been done. It is all over." k Mr. Gimbel‘s belief is the belief of other| successful merchantsâ€"men who know that truth is essential to the life of trade as competition; men who know that a good business grows beâ€" cause of its inherent goodness. "Anyone who wants to be forty years behind the times can keep right on practicing all the old tricks of misrepresentation, baiting and inacâ€" curacy that: modern establishments have cast aside. R The / disturbing consequences of misrepresentations in the practice of business have frequpent place in the news rs, and a man were dull indeed (who could not see that, to live and to prosper, a business must keep faith with those it professes to serve..
