GENIUS
Genius is only the power of
making continuous efforts.
The line between failure and
success is so fine that we
scarcely know when we pass
it—so fine that we are often
on the line and do not know it.
How many a man has
thrown up his hands at a time
when a little more patience
would have achieved success.
As the tide goes clear out, so
it comes clear in.
In business, sometimes,
prospects may seem darkest
when really they are on the
turn.
A little more persistence, a
little more effort, and what
seemed hopeless failure may
turn to glorious success. There
is no failure except in no long-
er trying.
There is no defeat except
from within; no really insur-
mountable barrier save ouf
own inherent weakness of pur-
pose. — Midwest Hotel Re-
porter.
Infidelity gives nothing in
return for what it takes away.
—Chalmers.
The ability of life insurance
companies to hold the confi-
dence of the investing public is
due to the fact that life insur-
ance has kept its promises.
Those who sought safety found
it in life insurance and will
continue to do so. Only 3 cents
of each dollar of the income of
the people of the United States
is put into life insurance. The
fact that 87 cents of every dol-
lar left at death is derived
from life insurance is the
surest and safest way of pro-
viding support for one’s own
old age. as thousands of an-
nuity owners testify today.—
Arthur !F. Hall.

GROCERIES
Phone 9
Times Square rang with gay
and carefree, milling mobs on
New Year’s Eve. Jostling
around good naturedly, no one
seemed to have a care ahont
anything as a' New Year ticket
onto the big Paramount clock.
.. . The new Rialto building at
42nd and Broadway, with its
huge sign of a second floor es-
tablishment, a Chinese-Ameri-
can restaurant, was a new note
since last year.... So, too, was
the structure replacing some
old theaters across the street.
. It was all very gay, and I
wondered what this year’s
crowd would be doing when
1936 comes to an end? ...Will
there be interned ships in New
York’s h; rbor? . .. Will some
selfish individuals continue to
trade with belligerent coun-
tries across the sea and drag
us into another war? . . . Will
New York see an assassination,
making it the Sarajevo of the
next European struggle? . . .
How much closer will we be to
a dictatorship? . . . How much
more of China will benefit by
the rule of Japan .. . Will the'
end of the year see the same
sort of useless persecution of
innocent citizens in the United
States as we saw during the
World War when German
born Americans were all un-
der suspicion? . . . Congress
will argue about war mate-
rials. . . . Some will say that
the short list of good3 now be-
ing prohibited from export is!
far too long. Others—many
others—far too short. Will
men be worse hypocrites than
they now are? Or will some
brave individuals stare facts in
the face and know and say
that to trade at all with coun-
tries at war will run the risk
of dragging us into war? . . .
What will Times Square see at
the end of another year?
Marching troops? Or anoth-
er carefree, milling mob?

Working for a theatre
doesn’t always mean that you
see the show. One stage door-
man at a theatre that has
been running the same play
for nearly two years—has
never been able to see the
show. And he’s seen so few
that all actors seem alike to
him.
If ,t would console the New
Yorker any, he might go to the
Greenhouse in Central Park
pt 5th Avenue and 106th,
where the palms and orchids/
and the temperature are as
tropical as you can be in New
York in January.

dier may be a Jew—one of the

Washington, D. C., Jan. 6.
—The 74th Congress which
has just convened for its sec-
ond and final session is trying
to pick up the loose threads of
its unfinished program and tie
some of the knots more secure-
ly, while considering what is
required in the way of new
legislation.
A great deal of the action of
this session will be taken with
one eye on the Supreme Court.
If all of the laws of the iast
two years whose constitution-
ality has been challenged
could be passed on by the Su-
preme Court at once, it would
save the Senators and Repre-
sentatives a lot of time and
worry.
As Congress met there was
a long list of measures on
which there has been no final
adjudication by the High
Court. Most eagerly awaited
was the decision on the A.A.A.
Secretary Wallace has a bill
already prepared to offer to
Congress in the event that the
Supreme Court rules that the
processing taxes are illegal. It
is the firm intention of both
the Administration and of
Congress to continue benefit
payments to agriculture,
whether the funds are derived
from processing taxes or from
some substitute form of excise
taxe3, or are merely paid out
of general revenues.
There is a general agree-
ment, among those who keep a
close eye on the effects of
Washington's actions upon
business trends, that there will
be an increase in the buving
of farm products followinr the
Supreme Court’s decision,
whichever way it goes. 1
AWAIT MANY
DECISIONS.
A more important Court de-
cision will be that on the
Guffey soft coal regulation act.
The expectation is that this
will be held unconstitutional,
on the ground that the tax im-
posed upon coal producers
who do not conform to the
terms of the law is a penalty
rather than an excise tax. It
was on exactly that ground
that the Supreme Court some
years ago declared the Child
Labor Law unconstitutional.
Uncertainty as to the Court’s
ruling on the Guffey Act is ex-
pected to delay action by Con-
gress on other regulatory
measures affecting business.
The Supreme Court also has
regulate industry, but it now
seems questionable that any of
these amendments will have
sufficient' weight behind it to
get very far.
Much more concern is being
expressed over old age pen-
sions than on any other one
question. The Social Security
Act, which provides for a con-
tributory system of old age
pensions, to be paid out of a
fund provided by taxes on em-
ployers and employees, does
not meet the widespread de-
mand for immediate pensions
for every person over 60 or 65
years.
Pensions provided for in
the Social Security Act are not
big enough to please cither
the Townsendites or the even
more radical element which is
putting on pressure for old
age pensions payable immedi-
ately out of general funds;
also too many people who
want pensions right now will
have passed on to their final
reward long before they could
possibly be beneficiaries of the
Social Security Act.
The feeling openly express-
ed on Capitol Hill is that some-
thing must be done and done
quickly about old age pensions
on a bigger and faster scale. It
is entirely unlikely that any-
thing like the Townsend plan
of |200 a month for all aged
persons will be voted, but the
pressure group of Townsend
Clubs which have been organ-
ized all over the country has
more voting strength behind it
than even the Bonus. Its
method of organization and its
tactics are very similar to
those of the old Anti-Saloon
League.
Just before Congress met,
the Townsend organization de-
manded expression* from all
members of Congress and an-
nounced that it had 39 pledges
of support, 14 replies from
members whs said they had
not yet made op their minds, 2
who declined to answer and 5
who stated that they were defi-
nitely opposed to the project.
And that was only the first,
fruit of the early pressure
which all of the members are
beginning to feel.
LONG SESSION -
FORECASTED.
The President is said to have
expressed the desire, if not the
belief, that this session of Con-
gress will adjourn by Easter.
It can be set down right now
as a fact that nothing of that
sort will happen. The boys will
stay in session until the nomi-
nating convections and per-
haps after that. There are too
many political. issues coming
up in this most political year
since 1932, and every member
and almost every Senator feels
that he has to make the best of
this opportunity to strengthen

before it questions of the con- his position with the voters of
stitutionality of the Tennes-
see Valley Act, the Social Se-
curity Act, the Wagnor Labor
Relations Act, tile Railroad
Pension Act, the PWA Slum
Clearance program, the Pota-
to Control Act, the Tobacco
Control Act and the Bank-
head Cotton Control Act.
Some of these will be passed
on between now and June,
some will not get to the point
of a Court ruling until Autumn.
Therefore it is possible there
will be no clear-cut Constitu-
tional issue of which either
party can take advantage in
the coming Presidential cam-
paign. ;
AMENDMENTS UP
SLEEVES.
It is known that a dozen or
more members and Senators
have Constitutional amend-
ments up their sleeves ready to
offer if the Administration
should decide it were worth
while to put uo a fight at this
time for the liberalization of
the Constitution in the direc-
tion of giving broader powers
to the Federal Government to
his district or state.
Senator Borah's open and
avowed candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination has fo-
cused attention on his record
in respect to the New Deal. On
the 17 major New Deal bills
Mr. Borah has supported the
Administration eleven times
and has been lined up with the
Republican Party six times.
And on that record rests the
opposition from within his
own party, of which formed
President Hoover is the Spear-
head.

3-PIECE AND SCARF
Pattern 8628—If you are
Scotch descent and know your
clan’s colors you will have no
difficulty in choosing the plaid
for the gay and youthful style
shown in the sketch. Even if
you are not Scotch, you can
still be canny by making up
this clever design in velveteen
and plaid wool and having a
stunning dress to wear to the
games under your raccoon
coat, or just to wear any-
where.
The biouse has a high round
neckline under the scarf and
the sleeve may omit the con-
trasting cuffs, thus allowing
the blouse part to be worn
with other skirts and tie*. The
separate skirt too with its
panelled front and kick pleats
may be paired off differently.
