Home-State I'ull
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 . The
impression ix growing that con-
gress is inclined to take the bit in
its teeth and show u good dea' more
independence of the president than
it looked like a couple of weeks
ago. This is not alone because of
the order of the supreme court in
the "hot oil" case that congress
must do its own legislating, but be-
cause there is a good deal of public
opposition to some of the adminis-
tratioon's policies being voiced all
over the country. And congress, no
matter how much it loves the pres-
ident. loves its own chances of re-
election more than anything else
The first real slap from congress
toward any of the president's pro-
posals was the refusal to authorize
the entrance of the United States
into the World Court. Mr. Koosc
velt, his secretary of state and his
chiefs in the senate were insistent
upon this but the pressure of pub-
lic opinion upon senators from the
home states was nwe powerful
than the presidential demand.
Divided Opinions
There is a decided difference of
opinion inside the administration
as to whether the ultimate econom-
ic salvation of the United States

is going to come about through
closer international relations or by
mutating the narrow nationalistic
policies which have led to dictator-
ships in Europe. The decision
against the World Court indicates
a strong swing toward nationalism.
The arguments ot the interna-
tionalists that we cannot sell our
goods ubroad unless we take the
other fellow's goods in exchange
have been somewhut shaken by the
reports just issued by the depart -

lust, year than we imported und
dint Hie foreign countries paid us
i. tie difference in gold.
Another blow to the bright
dreams ol the internationalists is
me failure ot the negotiations \sith
soviet Russia looking toward the
payment of the Russian debt lo the
United States or at least some ac-
knowledgement that the debt ex-
ists. The whole negotiation initial-
ed by Ambassador Bullitt simmers
down to this: It the United Stales
would lend Russia enough money
to pay the debt tthey would ac-
knowledge the debt and pay it on
condition that we lent them a lot
more money with which to buy
American goods. All of lhi> was to
be done through the Export-Im-
port Hank which was set up for the
purpose of financing the enormous
trade Americans were going to do
with Russia as soon as we official-
ly recognized the Soviet republic.
It is now announced that the Kx-
port-Import Hank will be dissolved
and that Mr. George N. Peek, the
iiead of it. will be used to help ne-
gotiate trade arrangements with
other nations in which I'ncle Sam
and his "phews stand a chance to
make a few cents profit. Hut so far
as trade relations with Russia and
American participation in the
World Court are concerned Wash-
ington is through.
Hichberii, the Target
Donald Riehberg is becoming
known in Washington as the hu
man pin-cushion. He is having so
many arrows shot into him from
so many different directions that
he figuratively resembles th'- an
i lent paintings of St. Sebastian,
whosi picture may be seen in many
European cathedrals with as many
arrows sticking in hint as a por-
cupine has quills.
Prestent Old" Age Relief
The social security program em-
bodied in the Wagner l.i wis toll is
due for a very large number of
drastic changes before it gets out
of committee in either house, and
probably still more changes on the
floor. Congress is going to take
plenty of tune before committing
the United States to systems of
old-age pensions, unemployment
insurance, child w< Ifar. and pub-
lic health.
Congress wants to know just
what it is going to cost, how many
old people will have lo be taken
care of b> the federal government
and what the states ar willing to
do and are doing now. Resides
atwut 180,000 old people now draw-
ing pensions in the 24 states which
now have old-age assistance laws,
there are about 700,000 persons ov-
¿I t f> on the FERA relief lists a', a
cost of $46.000,000 a year, another

,1. P. Morgan sold hulf a doten
printings from Ins collection the
other day for $1.500.000. He did
not stute how much he or his fath-
er had paid for them but there is
littb doubt that he made a very
handsome profit.
Kor anyone who has capital that
he can afford to tie up for a period
of years there is probably no more
profitable investment than in rare
pictures and rare books. Of course
it is not easy to acquire the neces-
sary expert knowledge to make
such investments intelligently, but
I know of many instances in which
men have taken out several hun-
dred times what they put in after
only a few years.
One friend of mine who died a
number of years ago had the walls
of his house, even the stair walla,
covered with paintings by George
I lines, which he bought at low
prices while 1 lines was alive, figur-
ing that after the artist's death
they would command high prices.
He also spent several years and
about $50.000 buying autographed
presentation copies of first editions
of the famous New England au-
thors of the 10th century.
On my friend's d nth this col-
lection of books was bought by
•I. P. Morgan for $.'150,000 and the
limes paintings, into which he had
put about $100,000, were ultimate-
ly sold by his estate for nearly a
i million.

Nothing is more true than that a

friend who is nt the head of the
circulation department of one of
the branches of the New York Pub
lie Library. He tells me that they
eannot supply the demand for the

Thackeray and other old favorites,
end that Mark Twain's books are
in greater demand than ever. Mark
Twain's publishers told me not
long ago that they pay his daugh

money in royalties every year than
her father ever got when he was
alive.

STAMPS for collectors
To folks w ho are not familiar j
with the tremendous prices which!
stamp collectors pay for rare or
unique specimens, it may sound ah- i
surd when thr newspapers talk j
about half a million dollars as the
value of certain ungummed. unper- j
forated stamps which Postmaster
l¡eneral Farley is reported to have
given some of his friends. It is
easily possible that single small
block of such stump? may haw a
collector's value of $50,000 or more.
Few people realize that a large
source of profit t < the government
for many years has been from the
sal- of first issues of new stamps
in sheets to collectors and dealers.
Mr. Farley has done more in this
line than any of his predecessors.
Soviet Russia is said to make a
profit of over $2.000.000 a your
from tIn sale of collectors' stamps
annd one of the smaller l.atin-
Anierican nations, for several
years, paid nearly all of its gov-
ernm nt expenses by getting out
limited issues of special stamps ut
frequent intervals.

(TFARKTTKS they grow
Twenty years ago, in 1015. there
was just one respectable restaurant
in New York in which v,\.oien were
permitted to smoke. In the mezza-
nine gallery of the old Cafe Mar-
tin nt 26th street and Broadway, a
lady might light a cigarette but
•he would be thrown out of any
other restaurant or hot 1 in New-
York if she dared to light one. To
smoke a cigarette in public was
regarded as a public confession of
immorality. Respectable women
just didn't do it.
I saw some figures the other day
indicating that as a result of the
spread of cigarette smoking among
women the United Stati-- is now
consuming eight times as many ci-
garette as 20 year* ago and only-
half a:- many cigars. We smoke 28
cigarettes per person per day. Wi
also drink 2.8 cups of coffee per
person per day. Whether there is
any relation between the consump-
tion of coffee and of cigarettes I
am not sure but I nm inclined to
think that the stimulating effect of
coffee breeds a desin for the s -da
titvi effect of cigarettes.
I havi not set n any recent fig-
ures on chewing tobacco but that
is on* use of the weed, to which
the ladies never did take kindly, al
though in my youth it was far
more wide-spread than smoking
cithei cigars, cigarettes or pipes.

STI FFED PORK CHOPS
In cast thi fatted h g has been

a new way to serv• pork chops
might be in order. Cut the chops
twice the usual thickness and then
slit each one with a sharp knife.
Stuff ea h chop with tw. table-
spoons of dressing made from one
cup of bread crumbs, three table
«poons of butter, and one chopped
apple (season the whole with salt
and pepper), and then after sealing
them with toothpicks sear for 19
minutes in a hot frying pan. Sea

NOT ICS BY THK WAY
Some months ago I reported a
farmers wife in u western sta'o,
that hud been bitten by a "Black
Widow" spider. She was then suf-
fering viry intensely in one of the
best western hospitals; in spite of
the effort' of the specialist, she
died from the venom of the poison-
ous insect.
Now I want to tell you an occur-
ence that happened jin.t the other
day: The paper containing the no-
count of the spider bite happened
to full into the hands of a convict
in one of our northern state pris-
ons. II at once wrote me, advising
the use of n "flax-seed" poultice in
the very next case of severe insect
bite! Ho condemned tin mod rn
methods of treatment which he
said always failed; this was divert-
ing to me. coming from the source
it did; it mude mo thing there was
som thing good in tin unfortunate
follow, even though shut in prison,
convicted of a crime.
Speaking of the old flax so<d
poultice, it i.- by no means an out
east, for, many good surgeons em-
ploy it with satisfaction As a
household remedy for acute inflam-
mation it shold always be kept
ready for use with the consent of
your family doctor.
The old flav seed poultice! l.et
us suppose you have a threatened
abscess, dm to a focus of .nfwtion
that has som how been acquired.
To encourage the "boil" into sup-
puration is often the quickest way
of getting rid of it. and keeping it
confined to one locality.
