The new vent^atlng and air conditioning system at the Empire theater has now been perfected and a most agreeable surprise awaits patrons of the theater who experience for "the first time the perfect efficiency of the newly installed system. At the Empire it is now pleasant ty cool with pure, fresh air making, conditions comfortable for the crowds of adults and children in attendance, while those outside may be sweltering in the heat and humidity of a hot summer night. The air in the theater is changed evfery minute and a half and with this entire chang«e of air the*? is a fresh, ness which dispels odors and gives one a feeling of cleanliness and purity. The air is cooled lay radiation over melting ice making the inside temperature from 14 to 20 degrees cooler than the outside air and this together with the perfect ventilation insures comfort 5 and eqjoyment for patrons of the theater; The daily capact^y of the cooling system is from 300 to 600 pounds of over and around which the air is cooled by radiation, the humidity of the air not being affected because the air does 'not come in direct contact with the-water. :- A cooling room has been built urtd- |er the stage whe^g"'the 'outside . air is brought in by a hWe fan, through | screen so fine that not even the smallest or insect can get in, and i3 then thrown into the theater by means of revolving fans and is finally taken out at the other end 'Oif the theater by another big fan.

The committee on conference appointed by the Vice President and the Spe«ker,, as presiding officers of Congress, ia doing or sometimes undoing legislative drafts oyer which the public and tf\e politicians wrangled for months. Under our pa -- Momentary system the two Houses practically transfef their entire legislative power to three or five agents designated as "cenfeieea" on the part of the Senate and House of Representatives. Their work has an atmoapher of trading and finality. This is due to the fact that conference, reports must be accepted without amendment or entirely rejected. It is a small wonder that the Ad* ministration,; seeking victory for its ideas, brings pressure to bear on presiding officers to have the "right" men designated to these conferences. So many squabbles ensue that many cohfrences are now deadlocked. Unless the differences between the bills, as passed by each legislative body, are soon reconciled much of the President's program will be side-tracked. An extended battle for principles is anticipated when conferees get together to harmonize the pending banking control bill, the regulation of motor carriers, the tax scheme, and other issues which are now considered irreconcilable. On the other hand, the sound of an adjournment bell would probably signal patching-up differences in the spirit of indifference to principles and policies. Drastic action by state relief administrators in the Middle West wheat producing area forcing people t© give up profitable loafing at the government's expense is expectd to have a salutary effect on other comnymwealths. One of the major problems has been to force men and women on relief rolls to accept positions paying a reasonable wage. Vigorous protests of farmers against the .'•omi'ctitiop^MfinMlisf wrffii'iM reached volume to overcome the politician's dread of offending those on relief by> asking; them to work. Mr. Roosevelt hasj promised Co get several million off of relief rolls by November. It is a dream which will not be realized bcause there has been too much stalling ambng relief administrators. The last published analysis of the Federal Relief Administration, dated July 18, is based upon a statistical study of nationwide relief during March, when 4,585,000 families were receiving emergency relief and 879,000 single persons were also listed. This means that 20,538,000 persons or 17 percent of thie population were on relief in March, and there has been lit- IN THE MODE tie reduction since that date. The 17 percent is the national average, but the ratio in individual states varies from 8 percent in Delaware, Si percent in New Mexico and North Dakota, and 38 percent in South Dakota. The average relief family received a benefit of $28.08 during Februray. 1935. The highest benefits were paid in New York, Massachusetts, and Nevada, families in these states receiving an average of $43. 67, $42.66, ad $42 01, respectively, in Februray. Conneticut and Pennsylvania also paid more than $40 per family for the month. At the other end of the scale were Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Kentucky with relief p«- family averaging $8.45, $8.72, and $9.89, respectively. Conversations with political leaders, after office hours, reveal that the President is annoyed at publication of his speeches as governor and presidential candidate and his subsequent reversal of sentiment since assuming the office of chief magistrate. These, comparisons have the usual embarrassing effect of the deadly parallel. Writing abound to trusted friends in their districts, legislators say that reports axe coming in to the effect that the prolonged session of Congress is retarding recovery. The claim is advanced that manufacturers and distributers cannot plan their fall programs with the uncertainty over government policies on taxes and regulation hanging over their heads, The Agricultural . Adjustment Administration legal department is working flight amd day to stem the tide of court decisions etrjoining the government from collecting processing taxes. If th« A. A. A. amendments now in conference between the Senate and House, are modified it will erect some obstacles to the legal challenge. It is believed that the Hoosac textile case handed down against the New Deal in N^w England will be the key test before the Supreme Court 4his fall regarding the Agricultural Adjustment program. Ordinary citizens, far-removed from the political sphere, are asking pertinent^ questions about Congressional investigations into this aftd that subject. In Congressional circles, the solons submit the same query about the usefulness of probes by Federal agemcies. A. study of expense accounts, running into large sums, shows the chief financial beneficaries of any governmental hearing are the official stenographers, who are paid so much a page for endless reams of testimony. Senator Tydings, Mary, land Democrat, protested that the long-winded milk investigation by the Federal Trade Commission brought no reduction to the consumer and no greater return to the producer. Legislators occasionally tour the world on "official investigations" at the taxpayers expense. Their reports are quickly forgotten. A cynical observer of things political was asked what the myriad of inquiries accomplished and replied succinctly, "Today's headlines for chairmen of probing committees and a charge account payable from government revenue."
