HOUSE AND SENATE
Lines are sharply drawn between the Senate and House for the coming special session of Congress on the question of farm relief and a definite administration calamity may be the outcome due to the fact that the President, only six weeks in the White House, will have to face a revival of the controversial issues of the election, establish a party leadership, and disclose his legislative policies on short notice. The whole question seems to rest with the Senate, which has been hearing too much lately for the good of its own feelings about the way the House has come up recently on the legislative scale.
It is a well known fact that Howey expects to work with the House of the farm relief measure, but if the jealous Senate, not to be outdone, interposes and blocks the proposed measures too much, very little will be accomplished with farm relief. The sincerity of the whole question is lost when petty jealousies are allowed to enter in. The pertinent question is whether anything the least bit constructive can be accomplished with such a condition existing. The whole thing is a source of political dynamism, but all the Senate is worrying about is that it does not explode in its over back yard.
PRESIDENTIAL PENSIONS
Pensions for the presidents! That is to be the battle cry at the next regular session, Senator Fess of Ohio announced a few days ago. Perhaps Senator Fess is getting along in years, or feels that he will be by the end of the Hoover administration. He is probably wondering what he is going to do after he is out of a job. Well, he at least believes in starting early to avoid the rush. It would be hard for Hoover to forget a man who was instrumental in seeing that expresidents receive a pension of $25.000 a year.
Yes, the ex-presidents do need remembering. So do ex-everythings. And Senator Fess realizes that he will be an ex-something or other in the course of a few years. And he believes that he remembers other "ex's" some of them will remember him. Such is political life in Washington.
THE NEW AMBASSADOR
The appointment of Charles G. Dawes as ambassador to Great Britain otakes a responsive chord in both England and the United States, it is a happy choice and retains in public service an outstanding citizen. The fact that the former vice-president is personally acceptable to King George indicates the faith of Europe in his diplomatic ability.
Mr. Dawes is particularly fitted for his new post. An active public life during the past eleven years has given him an insight into all the problems confronting the administration today. At the opening of the war he left his private banking business
to join the army and serve on the administration staff of General Perkasing. After the war he was first budget director and later chairman of the Dawes reparations commission. The past four years he served with Calvin Coolidge as vice-president. At present he is head of the American mission to re-organize the finances of Santa Domingo. He will assume his new duties in London upon completing the present assignment.
Mr. Dawes is qualified to fill the key position in European diplomacy. His business and army connections have brought him into contact with the English on many occasions and his association with the Dawes reparations plan has given him close relations with all the European capitals. As successor to Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton at the court of St. James', Charlie G. Dawes can be expected to be alert, friendly and watchful for the interests of the United States.
PERHAPS IT'S TRUE
When it rains on Easter, it will rain for seven Sundays thereafter, according to an old saying. Old heeds, with the wisdom of years upon them, rely on this hypothesis as confidently as they do upon the law of gravitation. University students, however, are more apt to treat it in the manner of a federal amendment. Signs ordinarily do not mean much to the learned and sophisticated university student. Soffing was quite in order two weeks age when the saying was revived on a rainy Easter. Even ectopical University students, however, must pause to wonder now. Two of the seven Sundays have passed, and both have brought heavy rainfall. Two more Sunday rains will practically put an end to the soffings, and may even bring a few converts to the old order of things. Seven rainy Sundays no doubt would lead to a great mental upheaval in the minds of these students, who confronted with odenable evidence, might be prone to cast aside all that psychologists and sociologists have taught them about signe, superstititions, taboos, and the like.
The great crying need in a case like this is scientific research into the matter of rainy Easter. Stubidence should be compiled over a long period of time, showing the variation from the norm of seven rainy Sundays following a rainy Easter. The relation of sumpso to the phenomenon should be defined. The law of probability should be applied, and scientific results should be widely published. A five hour course, probably in the department of geology, or of astronomy, called "After Easter Rainfall," should be introduced. Thus, reduced to a scientific basis, the old sign could be accepted by the most learned of university students without the dightest quinns or intellectual dishethony. It is recommended that such steps be instituted by the administration at once.
FARM CORPORATIONS
Another item of President Hoover's farm relief program is the building with, federal finance of, "farmowned and farmer-controlled stabilization corporations which will protect the farmer from the depressions and demoralization of seasonal glute and periodical surpluses."
The idea of these stabilization corporations is to carry out an orderly marketing movement, so that the crops will be distributed throughout the year, and the surplus of an exceptionally favorable year will be disposed of without lowering the price. It has not been stated specifically whether the commodity co-operatives will be permitted to carry surprise over from years of plenty to years of scarcity, but in order to have such a plan function effectively this must be part of the program.
With orderly marketing, one of the two big difficulties in the way of adequate farm relief is partly solved. The other is the ever-present human equation. The success or failure of the scheme will rest largely with the men chosen to operate it. The competency and ability of the men in charge will be the main factor which will make or mar the plan. A preliminary to success is the support of the farmers.
Prominent Shanghai Attorney Believes American Influence in China Is Growing
Shanghai, (UP) - Growing American influence in China is seen by Slavery A. Moss, prominent American attorney here.
By. Miles W. Vaughn
The appointment of American advisers by the national government of China, the consistent policy of friendship toward the Chinese people followed by the American department of state, improved conditions of communication between Pacific coast ports and the Chinese coast cities, the development of direct radio contact, and a score of other factors have joined to make American influence greater than that of any other nation$^{2}$.

WINTER VACATIONS
-Los Angeles Times.
916 Mass.
Dr. Igor Galdeton, who is connected with the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, is out with a statement in which he advocates for more summer vacations. It appears that the sum over death rate in 1928, when summer vacations were lower than it was in 1868, when they were rare; Doctor Galdeton infers a causal relationship, and believes that win a few summer vacations will change in the winter death rate. An surely this is an American idea if we ever saw one. We have no evidence of such a lawyer that Doctor Galdeton falls into although it must be manifest that many things might have affected the summer vacations: the abolition of stuff tenements, where people died like the old days; the addition of more sensible clothing, especially by women; the more general use of ice, to name but a few. What we have shown as justification for a hedonistic idea. A nation, we seem incapable of defending one act on the simple ground that it is dangerous to teen to music in the park we defend on the ground that it is educational when we eat ripe red strawberries when we contain vitamin; when we ride on the ferris wheel we defend it on the fence where the air is purer. And who Doctor Galdeton gets to think about winter vacations he defends them on the street where they will whiten the death rate.

As Others See It
Well, we are in favor of these winter vacations. We are in favor of winter vacations, spring vacations and fall vacations. We are in favor of summer vacations. But we are in favor of them on the only ground of which anybody ought ever to consider a vacation: on the ground that the weather is much concerned about the death rate. We believe that when a man's turren comes to die, he dies, and there is no much he can do about it. But we cannot be so concerned to a good time, and not to-hum a crape on his revels by thinking about his funeral. So if Doctor Golston will only revise his argument a few times, he will not for active enjoyment enthusiast support.
THE LEGAL MILLS
Rent-A-Ford
The national Congress and many State assemblies in this country have an annual output of nearly 12,000 lawmills, an amount care to add to this the mass of city and county ordinance and regulation. If we would have the greatest law mills in the world and some of them are working with each other, would take a man with the wonderful brain of Prof. Einstein 9557 years to memorize the laws that are produced by common sense, some folks who can't think of any but the Volsted Act. But with this law, would someone else that some of us get pinched occasionally for an oversight. When President Hoover's commission of expert testimony with law enforcement and judicial practice in the nation is predicted to lay hold on its inertia in our tech for over-regulation.
China at this time, Moss told the United Press in an interview.
In the last four years, the attorney pointed out, the prestige of the United States food industry is evident in American goods are predominant in China's market in many lines, such as chili and soybean products. Markets are increasing steadily despite climate conditions.
Establishment of the Kuomintang party government in Nanking, Mao Zedong's former hometown, grew national feeling on the part of the Chinese people which likely contributed to the rise of guilds and assistance of foreign nations if China's foreign relations are good.
Moss has held various adviserships to the departments of the Chinese government. He praised the work of his fellow foreign ministers, who winter in Nanking, with whom he has been closely associated. He declared the Nanking foreign office was under siege and that it had been shown a vigorous and aggressive policy which unilobally has resupplied its people with food, medicine and the least of which is a rowing national consciousness and a sense of individual responsibility on behalf of people with regard to foreign relations.
Moss declined to express an opinion on the question of resolution of the nixed court in Shanghai to the Chinese government, a leading practitioner in this court.
This matter, he said, has been handled capably by the representatives of the United States government and the House of Representatives, in satisfaction of everybody in time, such questions as the status of ours and legal jurisdiction, extraterritorial privileges enjoyed by the President in China, and efforts to settle lipilotice and treaty issues between China and the powers are so complicted. Moses said, that general statements he made likely to be misleading and unfair.
The attorney was enthusiastic regarding the commercial future of Shanghai, which, he said, rapidly is undergoing a process that could shape the world of the 1940s. An era of real cooperation can be achieved on a sound basis, he said, both Chinese and foreign interests in the Shanghai area should reqreat great profits in the future.
Moss cited the progress made by he Radio Corporation of America which is cooperator with the Chicago office as an example of what can be one by carefully directed efforts on he part of American corporations. "binese government stations, he said. He also described states through the radio corporation of the Philippines—a subsidiary of he Radio Corporation of America.

Rates have been lowered and an efficient radio service established within he last year. He also called attention to the extension of the world reach of the American media, by he Shanghai field, pointing out that publication of the American news leaflets of the United Press in the leading newspapers of the Yangtze River region was most favorable effect in the promotion of a mutual understanding on which

TALKING THINGS OVER
That had fat now gone the way of commands of others which have moved less public, but the psychological truth upon which it was based was George A. Dorsay in his lecture when he said, "A person can do anything."
"Every day in every way I am growing better and better," was the magic phrase that swept America by storm several years ago as Coleman, the French doctrine based on the idea of a trick in a new note in mass folds.
Doctor Dorey's statement does not stress the power of suggestion, but rather the importance of living in oneself. Even as a child gains confidence in his parents the more he talks with them and confides in their abilities, the more confidence in himself the more he "talks things over with himself," the eminent psychologist states in substance abuse treatment. He sounds like a good one. Such a "conference" should tend to make the headstrong judgment of flinging, impulse-control and withdrawn. After such a "conference," the tough young business man or woman should feel capable of flinging. They can't do that, and of putting the project over to a successful conclin-

The "SKELETON" in the clothes-closet
Hidden within every suit you wear there's another suit—a "skeleton" suit—a framework of inner construction and tailoring.
It is this that decides whether the smart lines of your clothes will outlast the very cloth they are made of—or fade and disappear after scarcely a month of wear.
You can't see this "skeleton." You have to make it on faith. That's why we recommend Society Brand Clothes.
Perhaps you've never known clothes that could keep their shapeliness through all sorts of stress and storm. Then come in and select a new Spring suit by Society brand. You'll be amazed!
