Crystal creates an atmosphere of grace

Everybody knows, it takes fine fea-

Chevrolet for ’40 is the only cpr in
the low-price field that has all the
fine car features pictured at the left!
. . . Furthermore, this brillkftitly
engineered Chevrolet is the longest
of all lowest-priced cars—it’s "The
Beauty) Leader”—it has a degree of
driving and riding ease all its own—
and jt definitely out-acceleratet and
out-climbs all other cars in its price
range!. . . Small wonder, then, that
it is also out-selling all other new
cars for ’44>.... Eye it, try It, buy it,

WASHINGTON. D. O, Dec. 8-
Quarters which are usually "in the
know” here in Washington are
convinced that the 1940 session of
Congress will be brief, routine, and
uneventful. There will be no new
reform legislation. In fact. If any
new laws are ground out of the
legislative mill, they will be In the
y direction of amending reform bills
already on the books—notably the
Wagner Labor Act. The spotlight
will be focused on defense appro-
priations and the budget, but John
J. Citizen need not wprry about
paying any new taxes next year
There has been a lot of talk in
administration circle* recently about
economies that will result In a slash
In the nation's deficit for 1940 This
is sheer nonsense. 'There Is no hope
of reducing expenditures next year
The only question Is how much the
deficit will be Increased—not de-
creased! History shows that Con-
gresses do not cut expenses or en-
act new taxes—especially in election
years—unless the president drives
them to It. Mr. Rooisevelt has never
prodded Congress on tills point In
an off-year. Why expect him to do
so In an election year?

Santa scratched his head and
smiled at the confident young man
"But now for a name for this
lady." said Eric and he smiled at
the doll He blew a new tune on
his flute A short tune of two notes
that sounded like a bird call. “Hoow
Is that tor a name?" he asked
Santa puzzled and then said
slowly. "It sounds like 'Lee-zen,

tie paring down of budget estimates
purely for window-dressing purpos-
es. No major amputations are pos-
sible, however, with the entire
House and a third of the Senate
courting re-election. In fact, any
actual savings In the ordinary ad-
ministrative expenses will be more
than offset by the cost of putting
nearly 50.000 new civil employes on
the payrolls during 1939, plus a
tremendous increase In defense ap-
propriations The American people
want to put themselves In a posi-
tion where neither Hitler nor Hi-
rohita can shove them around.
Tlris defense spending is a boon
for the administration. The coun-
try has been getting fed up on
WPA. Shifting the emphasis from!
raking leaves apd digging ditches
to making airplanes and rigging
battleships Is good stuff politically.
Mr. Roosevelt has stated that de-
fense expenses will be upped 8500,-
000,000 In the next fiscal year. You
have read that he says It Is up to
the voters whether or not they ____________ _______ ____ ______
want to pay for this In new taxes of course, will call for some stirring
or borrow It. Washington sees speeches ot the flag-waving variety
for back-home consumption. The
Neutrality Act will not be shuffled
again. However, the only possibility
of a real battle that I can fore-
see now is p surprise presidential
proposal for economy. The presi-
dent would make this move purely
as a buck-passing gesture. Congress
would restore any cuts in expenses
that he would ask for and, hence,
Congress would take the rap for
opposing “economy**.
1939 VeraiAn of “Economy”
But 1940 will see the eighth year
of unbridled public spending by
an administration which was ori-
ginally elected on an economy plat-
form. Many will remember Candi-
date Roosevelt's stirring speech at
Pittsburgh In 1932 “Many a nation
has been wrecked on the rocks of
loose fiscal policy; we must avoid
that danger!" That candidate, as
president, has spent $50,000,000,000
and has collected $30,000,000,000 irr
taxes This has given his "economy"
administration a net deficit of $28.-
000,000.000 as Ils contribution in pi-
loting us off the shoals of financial
disaster.

of the fact that over $20,000,000,000
have been borrowed In seven years.
New Spending Peak
If the current level of business
continues next year, the picture
may be brlghted by a Jump in re-
ceipts, but there will be little de-
crease in expenditures Tile num-
ber of relief applicants today is the
largest on record. Moreover, with
1940 being an election year, look
for farm appropriations to top this
year's record payments Hence, fis-
cal experts estimate a total of
about $9.000.000.000 will be dipped
out of the till next year, while re-
ceipts will roll up close to $7,000,-
000.000 It will be a new high-wa-
ter mark for federal spending—al-
. most double the total of the de-
pression years. Tills means the
country will go Into the red to the
tune of $2,000,000,000 or more.
Tn addition to taxes and expenses,
another issue on the docket at Cap-
itol Hill will be the amendment of
the Wagner Labor Act This Is
strongly favored by popular opinion
in many sections as well as by in-
1 dustrlalists. The constant and un-
CHAPTER FIVE
The Challenge
For half an hour Santa and the
new doll stood at the window and
watched the graceful son of Light-;
nlng danclngon the snowy hills..
The sweet tunes of his silver flute
made their hearts beat fast.
He would dance down the hill
almost to tiie Toyshop doorstep
There he would hesitate and then
dash wildly ep the hill again until
he was dutllned against the moon
"Oh, I wish he would come In."
whispered the doll. As she whisper-
ed the figure on the hill stood
breathlessly still. The song of the
flute stopped. TTien the figure dan-
ced down the hill, playing a bold
march. He walked straight into the
Toyshop door and straight up to the
side of the doll.
"Oh." she gasped.
"But you wished it," said the son
of Lightning He looked full of
laughter and he winked at Banta
Bant* chuckled
"Come," said Santa
wish it. Let's sH down ”
The three went over to the flre-
place but the son of Lightning con-
tinued to stand so lightly that he
looked as though he were hung on
an Invisible chain
Prince of the North
"Come now." said Bant*. "Who
are you? You look familiar "
"You know my father," said the
handsome young man "He is
Lightning "

Mead BUI “Dark Horae”
A “dark horse" measure which is
in for a lot of discussion is the
Mead Bill. This legislation is de-
signed to set up credit machinery
for small businesses which need
new capital. Small concerns find
It almost Impossible to secure the
catfltai they need for expansion
purposes. Many potential new jobs
are, therefore, being still-born.
Ever since the "small business"
convention two years back, there
has been a good deal of sympathy
In Washington for the objective of
this bill. Those who make it their
business to know what's what in
Congress say the Mead Bill will be
either passed or put over until 1941
—it will not be killed.
All in all. the session will be a
rather humdrum affair The war.
