Economic Hi-Lights ----„ (• Happenings that affect the Din ner pails, Dividend checks and Tax bills of every Individual. Na tional and International problems Inseparable from Local Welfare. When, on the evening of Aug ust 5, the weary legislators rang down the cur1 ain on the 76th Congress of the Unit:d States, after what an AP dispatch des cribed as “a final furious clash between a New Dealer and Ad ministration critics within the Democratic par. y,” history had been made. And it is rUmarkalde history. For the 76th Congress broke a Presidential grip over the legislative branch of the gov ernment that had held firm, j showing only a f w moments of 1 weakness, for more than six ! years. • I In the views of most com mentator^, business at large should be gratified with what Congress did—and with what it did not do. New and bigger spend ing plans wera roundly beaten. "Experimental” legislative pro posals died unhonored and un sung in corumlit) ee, and the few which reached the floor of either Houso were buried under an avalanche of "Nays.” A definite, start was made toward prevent- j ing future government competi tion in the field of private enter prise, and also 'towar! limiting existing competition, particular ly in the matter of elec r'c pow-j er. By and large, Congress show-1 ed definitely that it wanted busi ness recovery—and that it was willing to do anything within reason to achieve it ,and was eager to put the quietus on any thing which seemed to wulanger It. Typical comment comes from •olumnist Hugh Johnson, when he observed that the “belated revolt in Congress against unli mited spending and congressional insistence on its own Constitution function to say how, when, where and in what manner public money shall be spent^’ should not be regarded as a peevish reprisial against the President, but as “a general recognition that for the past 6 one-third years we have been in a process of silent revo lution toward personalized gov ernment.” And, he added, some of Congress acts ‘‘are the most hopeful signs of a real return to prosperity and employment that WA'AW.W.V.V.W.VAV Duffy Pharmacy We. 0609 24th and LAKE STREETS PRESCRIPTIONS JP-rop TVlirpT-v AV-ViVAV AWAWAVW kidneys Must (lean Out Acids Excess Acids and poisonous wastes in your blood are removed chiefly thru 9 million tiny delicate Kidney tubes or filters.

When You Leave the Tuxedo Barber Shop You have a feel ing of Satisfaction that com es only from Superior Oper ators. M. A. McGee, Prop. i we have seen in many years. Congress’ eOoriomy-mind. dness was the most significant develop ment of the dramatic session from the point of view of indus try. And it developed with a rush in the closing weeks. Adminis tration sponsored appropriation measures, including the much publicized “self-liquidating loans’’ bill, were '.mangled beyond repair in committee. Appropriations ac tually authorized W re, of course extremely large—but they were much lower than many Adminis tration officials wanted and though necessary. It is obvious that Congress “rebellion” will have a consider able influence on political events of the future* It has heartened the Republicans, and given them new hopes of a great victory in 1940—though unprejudiced com mentators seem to g nerally feel that the GOP had better hurry and find a personable candidate and begin building him up if it is to have an even chance of electing tha next Prehident. And it has caused immense rejoicing in the ranks of the conservative Democrats, who want to dominate the next Democratic convention, and put a middl? of the road candidate in the field. It is a patent fact that while Mr. Roo sevelt may not have lost his control of the party nominating machine, it is definitely slipping. One more successful congression al rebellion against the White Houst might make his influence comparatively negligible. Time will prove o*r disprove that. But here’s something you can bet on—next year’s political wars, both within the major parti;.s and between them, will be among the bitterest in our often bitter political history. Most important development of along tjme in our foreign policy was the sudden scrapping, by this government, of the U.S. Japanese commerce and naviga tion treaty of 1911. Six months notice, under the terms of the treaty, is required to abrogate it —thereafter, if Congress wishes it will be possible to completely 'shut off our trade with Nippon. Quickly as the move was made, ft came as no great surprise to those whq understand stem Secretary Hull’s high principled theories of international morali ty. No man has a greater regard for truth, justice and deemey in the relations of nations. No aruan has a grea1 er hatred for a strong power bullying and destroying a weaker power. Ubviious motive Detuna line treaty denunciations is the opin ion that the implied threat may be a strong 'factor in bringing the Japanese. Mo book. They de pend on us fop a long list of es sential war and peace commodi ties. Some think that if we broke off commercial relations with them they would be virtually ruined. Aind under any circum stanc s, we are in a far better posHon to do without Japan’s trade than she is to do without ours. No one knows whether Con gress would sanction a trade embargo aimed at Nippon—per haps it wouldn’t, but the chance exists, and Tokyo knows it. As a resui'i, the State Department’s move has received general sup port in and out of Congress, and in and out of Administration cir cles. Some think it brings with it the danger of a Japanese war— most think that possibility is Moo remote to be given much weight. -0O0 RABE’S BUFFET for Popular Brands of BEER and LIQUORS 2229 Lake Street —Always a place to park— ■■■MrvwaaaHVTvmmHMaMMHBBMaHMaBiM Fall Money Saving Specials MEN’S LIST LADIES LIST 2- SUITS Cleaned & Pressed 80c 2- TAILORED SUITS . 80c 1- SUIT and 1 TOPCOAT ....80c 2- PLAIN DRESSES -1.00 1- SUIT and 1 FELT HAT.80c 3- PLAIN BLOUSES .80c 3- PAIRS OF PANTS.80c 3- PLAIN SKIRTS .80c OUR MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN HANDLING FINE APPAREL ENABLE US TO GIVE EVERY GARMENT THE PARTICULAR CLEANING SKILL IT DEMANDS—.RELY ON US.

Mrs. G was fearful of bringing it home as her husband might jump to false conclu sions. She checked it in a parcel con tainer, nnd told her husband that she found the key in the station.

H-F-5-A-R-M. 2 C-O-U-L-T SOLUTION on page six LECTURES AT UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Chicago, Nov. 23 (ANP)—A group of specialists from, leading American universities has been gathered at the University of i Chicago to carry out cooperative research upon problems of child ren and adolescents, and ujxm personality development in rela tion to learning. Among the group is Allison Davis, professor of anthropology and head of the division of social studies at Dil lard university. This panel of social scientists, called together by the American Council of Edu cation includes professors from the Universities of California, Chicago, Cornell .Syracuse, Mt. Holyoke, Michigan, Wisconsin, and other leading institutions. As a member of this group, Mr. Davis, who is on leave on a Rosenwald Fellowship, has given the first two in a series of napers dealing with hi® re searches upon social controls and personality development among Negroes. The influences of the .system of color-caste in Ameri ca upon I'jhe learning processes and habits of Negro children, as well as the differential types of child trailing tiy social classes within the Negro society itself will be developed in further talks by Mr- Davis. A recent research conducted by Mr. Davis for the American Youth commission of the Ameri can Council on Education, with the collaboration of Dr. John Dillard of the Yale Institute of Human Relations, has dealt with color-caste and social class influence in the training of Ne gro adolescent®. This study of Negro children will be discussed by the group of psychologists at the University of Chicago, and is to be published in popular form by the American Council on, Education during the winter. Philadelphia, Nov. 23 (ANP)— Nows that Crystal Bird Fauset, first colored woman to be elected to a sta' e legislature in USA, had resign'd her seat in the Pennsylvania law-making body, was a great shock to this city and still has it confused, as can be recognized from the comments on the streets and in YMCA and YWCA lobbies. Everyone s ems to feel that Mrs. Fausett had an opportunity, to use the state legislature jab: as n s'topping stone to other and b gger things, and that it haet great prestige valu:—a value) which Mra. Fauset was expected,’ for. Other coT’ments hold that the silver-ffionqued good-looker had orders from party powers that hi (she's a Democrat) and that there is a “fix” somewhere. Still others laughingly pointed to the $4,000 {>ay which the new job ns state coordinator for1 WPA activities carries with it. But, despite the pay and the political reasons hinted, mo"t people were inclined to the opin ion that “it is hard to under stand.’’ At this writing Mrs. Fauset is out of the ciliy. The one prsom who has been her right-hand companion, booster, and co-work er is Miss Alyce Anderson. Ask ed why the sudden step-down from the legislative job, Mir# Anderson said: Mrs. Fauset sjvmt sewaral weeks thinking over this change. She recognized what Itihe legis lative job could mean to her, personally, but she also saw that sho could hope to do little in carrying out the program of her party and her own, as long as the legislature was Republican. “Finally, she came to the deci sion that, in the legislature, she was looking out for Crystal Bird Fauset, but in this new job, she would have an oppor tunity to say a word and look after the interests of Negroes all over the sfjate who need WPA or are served by WPA. These people have not had a friend i* court all these years- To serve this greater cause is her reaso* for leaving the legislature.” Miss Anderson did not speak as the official spokesman ef Miss Fausei, but her opinio* seems to be nearest that which Mrs. Fauset would give herself. Long before the legislator had come into political leadership, Miss Andertson and she have worked together building political fences and making plans for tha future. Miss Anderson is the' sis ter of the celebrated contralta Marian Anderson. -ooO »3QgQX2^icaazz23c»a£n^a Robbing Pharmacy 2306 N. 24th St. WE. 1711 NEURITIS^ Rheumatism" To relieve torturing pain of Rheumatism, Neuritis, Neuralgia, or Lumbago in a few minutes, get NURITO, the splendid formula, used by thousands.
