DECEMBER 8. 1931 Yesterday Congress went into session for what promises to be one of its most vital and turbulent meetings. There is, above all, the consideration of this great "business tribulation," as it is so aptly named in a recent news dispatch. (Our heart goes out to the editor who decided to forego the word "depression.") Regardless of its designation in mere words, however, the questions of business and finance will occupy a large part of the program in the new congress. Of course there is that perennial prohibition issue, foreign debts, taxes, public finances, the Philippines problem, farm relief and a few more things of vital importance to be considered by our congressional representatives. Before the final gavel raps, it looks like there won't be an awful lot of time for our dear senators and congressmen to play. In fact, they'll probably be almost as busy as we expect to be from now until the second semester. We note that Carlos Bunoz, former president of the republic of Chile, is now working as an insurance salesman in Buenos Aires. Well, Carl, here's power to you. We're looking for a job, too. CLEAN HANDS A London borough has bestowed the office of mayor on a chimney sweep. His name is Councillor H. Brooks, and he has been dusted so far for forty years. The new mayor says that the honor recently bestowed upon him won't effect his work. He intends to go right on with his chosen vocation. There's a public officer who continues to wear the same size derby as he did before winning an office. And judging from his attitude toward his work, and in spite of a few thousand dirty fuses, his hands will probably be a whole lot cleaner than those of many a man whose "public trust" has been too much of a load. A news story says that two American women members of London society have the largest private cocktail bar in the metropolis. Well, maybe they have got the largest "private" cocktail bar in London, but we'll bet there are some public speakeasies in America which would make the prizewinning cocktail bar in London look like a half pint of needle whisky at a bootlegger's convention. If every man in the world would read a book by Turgeen, listen to a piece of music by Grieg, look at a painting by Goya, peruse the Chinese classics, see the beauties of Japanese scenery, learn the language of France, drink the beer of Germany, sing the poetry of Shelley and Dante, and kiss an American girl, the problems of international affairs would be greatly simplified and the troubles of the world alleviated.

A much more interesting subject would be "How Some Students Pass." THE OMELETTE The Y.W.C.A. oriental bazaar is being held in Henley house on Dec. 8, 9, 12, 14, 15. DOROTHY JACOBSON. A dispatch from Saint Michel, France, informs us that within the next year the famous omelette, originated in 1873 by Madame Pouglier, will be immortalized in granite or marble. They're original folks, those Frenchmen. Who ever else would have thought of erecting a monument to the memory of eggs, milk and butter? But now that the fat has been started, we must not lag behind. A stone image of wheat, corn, good old eggs and bacon or even a steaming cup of coffee would add considerable realistic beauty to the staid old Kansas countryside. We could at least help out the unemployment situation, for we hadn't enough wars lately to warrant the construction of any more soldiers, horses or pioneer mothers. Maybe that's why we're in this slump. Now we are all emancipated. A new social privilege has been granted us. Self expression in all forms is ours of the Twentieth century, Sidney S. Lenz and Ely Culbertson, noted bridge authorities, are fighting it out to the last rubber in New York. Well, it's a sweet victory for the winner, but think what a wonderful post-mortem will fall to the loser. Seldom does any calendar year appear with more than one or two holidays which may be connected with a week end, but 1932 offers something different from the usual. the same, but we always thought it was impolite to yawn before the professor. To prepare for this unusual run of holidays coming on weekends, 1921 offers Christmas on Sunday. Year's immediately follow. HERE'S HOPE IN 1932 During 1932, the order of events is more convenient. Lincoln's birthday falls on a Friday. Washington's on a Monday. Decoration day comes on Monday. Christmas and New Year's, 1933, by coming on Sunday, make Monday a holiday. Soviet Family Wins World Notoriety as Most Typical Proletarian Group Think of the possibilities in so many Saturday, Sunday, and Monday periods. They make a real gift to break the monotony of the daily grind of 1932. Moscow, Dec. 8--(UP)-Fame, national and international, has come to an ordinary working-class family here which has been extensively photographed, interviewed, corresponded with, is now in the process of being filmed. The fact that it is ordinary, indeed, is this family's sole passport to fume. The Filipinos—father, mother, two caughters and three sons—were selected as the "typical Soviet proletariat" whose such are being thoroughly exploited. Pleasant Life How the P丘伐群 live, work, eat,磨 themselves is known to hundreds of thousands at home and abroad for decades. It began when a German Communist picture journal, Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung, devoted a whole time to the Fili It was a record calculated to make foreign workers, even a good many who still have jobs, good and favourable conditions, in a pleasant modern apartment, eating plenty of wholesome food, pretty well dressed and apparently happy. It was also a picture of someone satisfying its needs and some over fun events. It was exhibited at its case in clubs, on sport grounds, etc., before being given away to someone. When Comrade Filipov works. The question naturally arises as to whether this picture of their lives, if true, was typical. In Germany openly admits that people worked in the nation which had come to Moscow for other reasons even took the trouble to hunt up the Filipovs and check up the This delegation and other investigators found that the story was substantially true. There is no question that the family does live in what for a factier works with them, but the claim that its life is "typical" is an exaggeration. It would be closer to truth to state that the Filibusters are typed of the Soviets and not of the Nazis, a ideal which has not as yet been realized. *Working Adults* In the first place, five adult members of the family are working, giving them a five-fold income and the possibility to buy additional food, clothes and comforts above the rational amounts. Only one of the children is too young to work. Until recently the mother had been made aware that now the income of the children has made that unnecessary. In the second place, the Filipoes are among the lucky ones who have been given a flat in one of the new workers' settlements. While the government is trying to ensure that the very small proportion of the protarian population has at yet benefited thereby, the influx of new millions of workers makes it impossible to provide housing for them. The overarching question still lives in crowded mandatory conditions. FFOG Wholesale Candy Prices for Xmas Read the Kansan Want Ads!
