Mr. Gifford Saves Words. Wanted, a $300 Car. Copyright King Features 8ynd., Inc. As Congress prepares for plum pudding mid a rest it realizes Unit Mr. Hoover under stands politics and. congress men, after all. The Senate, vowing it would ne'er .consent, consented to everything the President want ed. It even forgot the terrible insult contained in the Presi dent's request: "Pleace don't' squander public money to ad vertise yourselves politically." The President's relief meas ures are passed and signed. His nominees arc, or will be, con firmed. If Mr. Hoover could now get rid of the prohibition problem, with the crime wave, and ad just taxes so as not to discour age employment in new enter prises, the road would be smooth. The railroad brotherhoods arc considering a merger with the American Federation of Labor, suggested by Mr. Green, head of the federation. An old farmer, dying, called his seven sous about him, and, handing each a fagot, said: "Break it." Each broke easily the short piece of wood.' . Tim farmer tied seven fagots together- h'anded' the bundle to each .son in turn, saying: ''Break that." Capitalists seem to understand the meaning of that old fable. Labor seems not to understand it. Mr. Giffird, head o the big A. T. & T., experts, reason ably, to live in history as one that perfected a telephone sys tem around the world, and the greatest corporation e v c r known. He may be known as the nb brcviator of the English lan guage. At Farmingdale, X. J., the central's soft voice, speak ing to another operator, says, "li. Y.," meaning "busy." We may eventually have let ters only for many ordinary words, the public learning to say "h" instead of ""sorry." Saving billions of syllables every hour, the telephone would add thousands of years to the total of American life.
