In passing the half-way mark Monday, sanguine spokesmen for the Administration listed the many real and fanciful achievements and endeavored to chart the future... Nonpartisan pbservers concur in the belief that rough and uncertain seas are directly ahead for the helmsman in th£ White House. Contributing to the tribulation is an unruly Senate uijd a sullen House of Representatives - reflecting the out-cropp'ng of the inherent jealousies between the executive and legislative branches of the Federal government. The result is a .igislative jam with the public works itiief bill one of the key-lo*;..; With the exception of UIJ dubious victory in the gold, cases, U»e judiciary, by adverse rulings, ha<i added more handicaps for the: New Dealers j and their economic ideas.

What sunshine they get is weak in the rays that produce vitamin D. No wonder youngsters lose their pep, become victims of winter ills. » It is,, tremendously important that your children get their share of vitamin D in winter. It prevents rickets, and builds strong bones and teeth. They also need vitamin A to resist infection. For children especially, we suggest MCKESSON's VITAMIN CONCENTRATE TABLETS OF COD LIVER OIL. Children love their tempting taste.*Each delicious chocolatecoated tablet brings all the vita- * sains in one teaspoonful of U. S. P. X. ((revised 1934) Cod Liver Oil. And in addition it supplies calcium and phosphorus. 3ive them to your children reguy-- and note the results; fewer "colds" and greater resistance to other respiratory diseases, lustier appetites, more pep. MCKESSON'S VITAMIN CONCENTRATE TABLETS OF COD LIVER OIL are just as good for grown-ups. They help protect you against illness and add tb your vitality. Protect health the vitamin way. Take these tablets regularly. Give them to your children to help them grow sound bones and teeth. Buy them at any good drug store.

This is the latest portrait of Kins Peter of Jugoslavia, the lad who ascended the throne after the assassination of his father, King Alexander. counts for the wish that Congress would perform its major chores and close up the shop as a contribution to the development of public olficial confidence. It may interest the average citizen remote from official Washington to know1 that Huey Long's growing prestige with rebellious groups is nothing more than his ability to capitalize on "fear". Having little to lose and much to gain by disregard for the rules of the Senate and ordinary proprieties the stormy petrel from Louisiana is having his heyday as a burr under the saddle of the New Deal. Colleagues who shunned )thte noisy newcomer for a year or more avail themselves of his fearlessness (in speech ) as an outlet for their grievances which they dare not express. But the haunting fear of reprisals is not confined to the Senate. Great leaders of industry and finance who froth and fumie at radical legislative proposals threatening their business do all their talking in private. They refuse to take the stand at Congress ional hearings because they say, "It is not wise to stick out your neck at this time". Their enemies gain power and gloat in "riding big business ragged". Meanwhile Huey Long and others less spactacular rant and rave to their heart's content. Cabinet officials are high and mighty within the confines of their departments. On Capitol Hill, however, there is no great admiration for the officials or their ideas. Man? legislators take real pleasure in sub jecting members of the President's official family to grilling and then ignoring their pet recommendations.

It is reported that a "gentlemen's agreement" has---J^en established between the "Senate an under which the Senate will control hearings regarding the revision of NRA while the House concentrates on,the old age pensions and unemployment insurance. It now appears that the old age program is" the only ^™.^- item that can "be assured of quick action in the House at this time. With Che expenditure of billions fot relief through public works projects, it is almost an impossibility to obtain figures as to the exact amount working men receive. Maj. Ge Markham, chief of the Corps ot En gineers, testified recently that in river and harbor construction thp^ laborer receives 80 cents out of /6very dollaif expended. The Navy has estimated? that 85 per cent out of the money fot new ships goes to labor! The 80 centfigure does not represent a direct re* turn to one laborer buV- involves m*: direct labor used, for instance, in fab ricating materials whicn runs front one and a half to two times the direct labor cost.
