THOUGHTS FOR
TODAY
Do not lay things too
much to heart. No one
is really beaten unless
he is discouraged.
—Lord Avebury.
He never errs who
sacrifices «e!f.
—Bulwer-Lytton.
Nothing great was
ever achieved without
enthusiasm.
—Emerson.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 1936
All the signs point to the
likelihood that the New Year
just beginning will be one of
the most exciting years we
have had for a long time.
In this country the big fact
is that this is a Presidential
election year, and all the indi-
cations are that the campaign,
which will begin around the
Fourth of July and run to No-
vember 9. will be the most ex-
citing political episode in our
national history since Bryan
ran against McKinley in 1896,
just forty years ago.
Abroad, it seems quite prob-
able that there will be a major
war, involving big European
nations, before very long.
Again, nobody can say with
certainty that this war will
break out in 1936, but there
surely will be enough war talk
to keep the whole world in a
state of jitters.
Watch for big developments
in the scientific and technical
fields in 1936. The year just
ended saw the establishment
of the first air mail and pas-
senger service across the Paci-
fic Ocean. It seems to be on the
cards that before 1936 is over
we shall see the beginning, at
least, of a similar Trans-Atlan-
tic service.
It would take a brave man
to promise that television will
be' perfected before the year
1936 ends. But it is certain
that long strides will be made
toward the goal of bringing
the world’s great events, ae
occur, before the eyes of
they
millions of people sitting com-
fortably in their own homes.
No one can be quite certain
that we have yet achieved the
stable recovery for which we
have been looking, but we are
certainly on the way. Doubt-
less there will be set-backs, but
there is nothing now to sug-
gest that our general economic
situation will be worse when
1937 rolls around, and many
signs to indicate that it will be
better.
The most important thing
that will happen in 1936, is
what has been happening ev-
ery year for the past 1935
years. That is the steady
growth of the spirit of human
brotherhood and goodwill, of
justice and righteousness in
human relations. For nothing
is more certainly true that in
such matters the world has
been getting better every year.
It will keep on getting bet-
ter in 1936.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 30.
—Without trying to predict
what the final outcome will be,
this is a good time to take note
of the major issues with which
the second session of the 74th
Congress, convening on Fri-
day, January 3, will occupy its
time.
1. Immediate payment of
the Veterans’ Bonus. The only
apparent open question about
this is whether or not the bill
as passed will provide for full
cash payment or for a special
issue of bonds.
2. The Townsend old-age
pension proposal. This will
stimulate a lot of oratory in
both Houses. The Labor lobby
will oppose it. The best guess
is that the T jwnsend plan will
not be adopted but that the
agitation will result in liberal-
ization of old-age benefits un-
der the Social Security Act,
which has got to be amended
in many respects, anyway.
3. Lots of talk and some
pretty hot debates on the
Frazier-Lemke Farm Mort-
gage greenback bill. Little
chance, however, of Us
passage.
4. Government ownership
of railroads. Again a lot of
talk, backed by a well organ-
ized campaign of the railroad
unions in favor of it. Action
of Interstate Commerce Com-
mission in ordering reduction
of railroad passenger rates to
two cents a mile, where they
are now higher than that—
which is all over the East. This
will be a demonstration of the
Government’s present power
over railroads, and may have
a strong influence in bringing
holders of railroad bonds into
line for Government owner-
ship.
Neutrality, Navy, Army
5. The neutrality question
will come up early in the ses-
sion. The present temper of
Congress is to strengthen the
neutrality laws. The strong be-
lief prevails that.a great war
is rapidly approaching, and
Congress will not be inclined
to trust the State Department
alone to keep ns out of it. One
outcome of the war talk is
likely to be liberal appropria-
tions for a bigger navy.
6. Proposals for increasing
the army strength will be back-
ed by reports that Mexico is
planning an out-and-out Com-
munist Government. This will
give strength to the
for military defenses along the
Bio Grande.
7. There will be more de-
bate on proposals to regulate
wages and hours of labor. Out-
look is for the passage of the
Walsh Bill, requiring all con-
cerns selling anything to the
Government to conform to la-
bor standards established by
NRA.
8. Attempts will be made to
straighten out the silver tangle,
probably by mandatory legis-
lation requiring the Treasury
to increase its purchases and
maintain the world price. The
silver policy is not clearly de-
fined as yet.
9. Amendments to the
Housing Act probably will be
made, with the objective of in-
ducing private capital to go
into large-scale low-cost hous-
ing projects. This is in ac-
cordance with the. views of
Secretary Morgenthau, Direc-
tor Fahey of Home Owners
Loan Corporation, and Peter
Grimm, Housing, Co-ordinator.
Many lnvestif ations
10. A lot of noise that will
be heard on Capitol Hill from
New on will come from the
committee rooms, where Public
Utilities, railroads, munitions,
chain stores and various other
phases of business will be un-
der investigation.
The program for this session
will be complicated by other
factors. There will be Su-
preme Court decisions which
will interject new issues. The
budget as submitted by the
President will look quite rea-
sonable.
Politically, the relief issue
has been brought to the front
by Hoover's speech in St. Louis.
The Government’s plan to turn
the relief problem back to the
states as fast as possible is
not making headway.
Betting on Republican can-
didates is now better than even
money on Landon. It-seems
certain that neither Mr. Hoo-
ver nor Mr. Borah will be the
nominee.
Even money is being bet on
a Republican Congress in
1937, but the Presidential odds
are still in Mr. Roosevelt’B fa-
vor.

Strange people are always
in the patent room of the New
York Public Library. Every-
thing from young lawyers to
the most crotchety old inven-
tors may be found there, and
queer mud be the thoughts
that run throughtfceir heads if
one may judge by the insides
of or.e of the_ government’s pa-
tent design'and specifications
books.
With 90,000 patents granted
each year, and anything from
a page to twenty pages or
more devoted to each patent,
the size of each year’s bound
volumes of patents—well, fig-
ure it out for yourself.
An itinerant printer was of-
fered a job in a small print
shop in New York last week.
He explained quite seriously
to the man who offered the
job that he was sorry he
couldn't take it, because the
man with his relief check was
expected that day, and he had
to be home to get it. His great-
est pastime is betting on the
horses!
—- Q-----
There’s still a big hole in the
ground where the old Union
League Club used to stand un-
til three years ago at Fifth
Avenue and 39th Street. Won-
der how much in taxes has
been paid on that valuable va-
cant corner?
The Brooklyn Chamber of
Commerce recently estimated
that New York City has lost
7000 factories since 1929.
many of them moving out of
the Metropolitan district be-
cause of high costs. Yet New
York City still has 56.7 per
cent of the factory workers
employed in New York State.
Frequently I've heard the
remark that New York’s su-
premacy as the financial capi-
tal of the United States will
sometime pass to Chicago. Cer-
tainly its station as a manufae-
oemanq t!lrjllg. city ha8 dwjndled and j
wonder how important its
status as a shipping port will
be s hundred years from now
—if we continue to develop
synthetic prodnets as rapidly
as we have in the last twenty
years. i
—0—
Canes, by the way, aren’t so
popular as they used to be. if
you can judge by the few that
are left hanging on bars, these
days.

A LOVELY FROCK
Pattern 8644—Social activi-
ties are part of the winter sea-
son.
The styling of this frock is
so simple and yet so effective,
it will be very easy to make
and equally easy to wear—
not too dressy for the office—
yet nice enough for dinner and
the theatre. The shirred sec-
tion of the raglan sleeves af-
ford an effective bit of trim-
ming. The neckline is inter-
esting and unusual, while the
skirt has the new width at the
lower edge. Fall, graceful
sleeves and small bows com-
plete the design.-
Clear, easy to follow, step-
by-step instructions are given
with the perfect fitting pat-
terns.
