Ahead TE hope President Roosevelt enjoy a merry Christmas and ' ". happy New Year, for after the holidays his troubles will begin. , Congress will then be in session. As usual the members of congress as a whole will be interested in what is good politics: while the President, as usual, will be concerned with what is best for the country. The veterans bonus will be one of the first things on the program. Everyone agrees the measure will pass the lower house with a whoop. It may have harder sledding in the senate, but its passage there is also certain. The President realizes that with the financial condition of the country what it is, with the necessity of relief still para mount, this is no time to sanction the IMMEDIATE payment of millions in cash to citizens not in actual need. ITe will, therefore, attempt to secure a compromise which will restrict such payments to those veterans eligible for federal relief. Whether he succeeds or the original measure, is passed over his veto remains to-be seen. It promises to be a hard battle either way. ANOTHER knotty problem will be the popular Townsend nl.flcA nnnelnn nlon mis ciever proposal, designed to solve all of Uncle Ham s economic and financial problems in one fell swoop, has met with a popular rcnction which is nothing short of sensational. To hundreds of thousands it has demonstrated clearly there IS a Santa Claus. Securing signatures urging its enactment has been as difficult, as getting signatures to a promise of sudden weartn and independence, for every man, woman and child h the land. TPHE threat of Father Townsend that he will "lick the hide off congress and send it home" if his proposal is not ap proved, is a needless gesture. At tho present writing there are more votes behind this measure, than behind the cash bonus. Just how many there are no one knows, but probably 10,000,000 is not far from a conservative estimate. In the face of such political support, the members of the lower house will no more think of fighting the proposition than of advocating a lifo. peu sion for J. P. Morgan. Messiah Townsend might as well have saved his breath. But as President Roosevelt must consider the welfare of the entire country, and must confine his endorsement to proposals which are practical and wise, regardless of their popular appeal, the opposition of his administration is inevitable. ( The President favors tho principle of old age pensions. But he strongly opposes a federal sales tax, which is the keystone of the Townsend arch, and could hardly secure the approval of his treasury to a proposal that would take half of the income of all the people, of this country, to benefit a minority of less than ten percent. However the popular support is there. And with the fallacy involved linked up with the abstruse subject of economics and finance, the task of mnking the fallacy clear to the rank and file, will be difficult indeed. The ability of the President to surmount this legislative obstacle, without taking a serious crop per, will certainly be a supreme test of his unquestioned political skill. ... TTMIERE will be many more perplexing questions for the YVhito House to decide, before the 1035 session of congress finally ends. The danger will not be to the President's program The 33,003 per cent profit garnered I wi,nr ln rrnvv WANTS"! h. unrlnilM.,ll ...ill !, M by the munitions makers during the ' ' j ne ciHnger win ssv i ne trom tnose who want to obstruct the "new deal", but from those who wish the new dciil to go farther to the left than the President desires. In short unless all signs fail, the prediction made in this column some time ago, may well be sustained during the ensuing session of congress, namely: President Roosevelt instead of fighting against the conserva tive forces in this country, will be fighting against tho ultra liberal forces, who with tho bit in their teeth will be threatening to get completely out of hand. The problem will then become, not what it has been the past few months to persuade the President to turn away from the left, but to niako it politically possible for him to turn to the right as far,as ho really dosiresl In other words, to all intents and purposes, President Roose velt for a time at least will becomo the Conservative leader of tho United States.

Oh -oh we had better warn the reader that this la something to read to yourself fl'st Ufrrrpk then If yu wisu read n to the family. Six weeks afo, remark & good physician, who without purport ing to be a spec laltst, has be come famous lor hia skill In am bulant treat. ment, a lady CAme to the of fice stating thj-t for about a month she nad had some bleeding from the rectum. She prov ed to have a large Inoperable cancer I think this growth could have beeu detected by examination at least two year ago. when It would have be?n possible to operate successfully. Ine patient had been given a periodic ex amination by her physician at fre quent Intervals, as she wished to k;p fit. On each examination she was pronounced to be In perfect healtn So what? Just what should a periodic physi cal examination or health Inventory Include? I have no definite Idea about th: fn practice the periodic physical ex ami nation is largely a guesture. It ,1s an excellent way for the patient to pet acquainted with the doctor and for the doctor to get acquainted wlt!i the patient. For that alone a yearly check-up Is worth the price, I think. It is worth something io you to know your doctor knowa you. That Is. If vou have brains enoug;. to select a doctor aa your regular medical ad vlser If you Just shop around ntt you might for a banket of vegetable? or If you get it free with a can of baking powder or a life Insurance policy, you can't expoc'. much more than you pay for, can you? My nptlon la that your own physi cian, especially if he snows you an-1 you know him. can get a better Hue on the state of your health In a 16 minute confab with him than any wage slave la a great "Institute," 'clinic,' 'association" or "company" can by any amount of machinery or laboratory monkeyshlnef. Your doc tor can make or cause to be made such special tests or examinations aa he thinks advisable. Our colleague Implies that tie periodic examination should Include a rectal examination. I do not think so. I believe your own physician should decide whether this Is advis able or not, after he naa heard your complaint and perlviys questioned you specifically about one thing and another you omit from your history or anamnesis. Insurance companie rh&t give with each can of each policy, some sort of free health or near-medical serv ice In violation of the principle that the practice of medicine la an lndi vldual service, gamble a good deal on the mere opinion of a doctor that an applicant looks well. Most of toe periodic physical examinations achool children are In fact nothing more than the opinion of the doctor that the child Is well. A lot of ho kum in the fool question and t swera in the funny examination blanks, of course. People never like to see the doctor earn his fee fro easily. When you are well acquainted with your doctor you do not hesitate to consult him about any apparently minor functional disturbance, and that Is much better than procrasti nation. Nor do you mind confiding In him about a major worry or difficulty. QUESTIONS AM) ANSWERS The Answer to the Layman's Prayer.

By FRANK JENKINS FOR two or three days, this column has dealt with the history of artificial Illumination that Is to say, the efforts of human beings, through hundreds of generations, to solve the problem of finding their way about at night. Xt Is an Interesting story. In Itself, and besides It points a number of useful lessons. ' 4-4 - VfOU have read, for example, that tor more tnan 25 centuries crude wick, hanging over the edges of a bowl of oil, provided humanity with light at night. That la because people of that day were TOO EASILY SATISFIED. They didn't want something better BADLY ENOUGH to use their brains In fig urlng out way to get It. When human beings are wholly satisfied with what they have, there is no progress. YOU have read, also that after Edison had invented the electric bulb, he was stumped at first by the problem of the fixture's shadow un-derneath. Lamps had always stood upright, because flame naturally GOES UP WARD, and even Edison's brilliant and original mind couldn't get out of the rut worn by thousands of years of conventional thinking. It was only by accident he learned that his electric bulb would burn upside down. YOU have read that invention of the tungsten filament provided MORE LIGHT with LESS CURRENT. That Is, it lowered the cost of elec tric lights. But, Instead of ruining the electric Industry by decreasing its market the tungsten filament HELPED the In dustry by Increasing consumption. When the cost of electricity wa cheapened, people promptly began to USE MORE OF IT. P we could just make all the pro ducts of our civilization - cheap enough that "EVERYBODY could af ford to use as much of them AS HE WANTS, we might solve the riddle of over-production and so learn how to abolish poverty, and create uni versal and lasting prosperity for prosperity, you know, consists mere ly in having PLENTY of the things we WANT. Unfortunately, we are now tack ling this problem from the opposite end; limiting production, shortening hours, plowing under wjieat and cot ton, killing pigs to get rid of them making things so costly that peo ple can't afford to use them. We'll have to get away from that false Idea before we can banish pov erty and create lasting pro&perity. ; Just as Edison had to get away from j the idea that an electric bulb HAD i to stand upright.

We've always thought of high wages and high prices as creating prosperity. That ISN'T TRUE, any more than It was true that Edison's electric bulb had to stand upright What creates prosperity Is enabling EVERYBODY to have PLENTY of what he WANTS. High prices merely make It HARDER for everybody to get what he wants, thus PREVENT ING prosperity. Some day, we'll quit thinking In that old rut. Then we'll get some where. ONE other thought: In all the centuries when i sputtering wick hanging from a bowl of oil was humanity's chief source of light at night, electricity waa PRESENT IN THE WORLD. All that was needed waa a brain SMART ENOUGH to discover and APPLY It. Who knows what other tremendous forces exist, UNKNOWN to us as yet. to be discovered by smart brains and applied to the betterment of human conditions and the enrichment of human life?
