SPEED OF CONGRESS
MAY ' ■ BREAK
RECORD
:V
MILTON S HERSHEY
Rapid Enactment of Bills May
Make Extra Session
Unnessary.
Washington, D. C.—Congress Is on
Its way to a record-breaking perform
ance In the enactment of lte routine
work of the sesslpn—the appropriation
hills authorizing the funds necessary
to run the government during the ap
proaching fiscal year.'
In two weeks the house has passed
two of the nine regular supply bills
and ' taken sip another. Before the
Christmas recess begins next week,
leaders intend td establish the record
of getting four of these bills out of
the way. The senate has passed the
first of the bills sent to it by the
house and leaders hope to have two
others out of the way before Saturday
, Failure by this congress to enact
■he appropriation bills Is the only
thing which would absolutely force
Herbert Hoover to call an extra ses
sion of the new congress.
However, the president-elect has
promised an extra session for the con
sldeyation of farm relief legislation. If
It is not proylded at this, session, and
whether this problem Is going to be
left to him and the extra session still
Is problematical.
Some republican leaders, who also
members o f the farm bloc and
were prominent In the campaign of
Herbert Hoover,.want this entire ques
tion left to the care of the new admin
istration.
Opposing this group is a sizeable
bloc of republicans who are strongly
opposed to as extra session next
spring. They want a farm marketing
bill passed now and the other portion
of the agricultural relief pledged in
the party campaign platform— upward
tariff revision-~left to. an extra ses
sion next fall or to the regular term
of the new congress beginning a year
hence.

Santa
Claus
makes
his
rounds on Christmas eve In
a sleigh drawn by “ eight
tiny
reindeer and their
names
ure
“ Dasher,”
“ Dancer,“ “ Prancer,” “ Vix
en,“
“ Comet,”
“ Cupid,”
“ Donder”
and
“ Blltzen.”
The eight-reindeer team, however,
was not always Kriss Kringle's mo
tive power. Time was when he made
his visits mounted on a snowy white,
horse. That was when he was known
ns Slnterklass, the pet name of the
little Dutch children for their friend.
Bishop St. Nicholas, who, they be
lieved, brought them gifts on St.
¡Nicholas eve, December 5.
When Slnterklass came to New Am
sterdam and became Americanized,,
his name was changed to Santa ( ’laus
and he began using a little wagon
drawn by a fat pony, for Ids visits
on New Year’s eve instead of De
cember fi.
Then In 1822 Clement
Clark Moore wrote the famous poem
which he called “ A Visit From St.
Nicholas,” but which later became
famous as “The Night Before Christ
mas.” In this poem Santa’s equipage
was the “ miniature sleigh and eight
tiny reindeer” and the sleigh and
reindeer it has been ever since.
Just as Santa Claus Is an “ Immi
grant” and a “ naturalized American,”
so are the steeds which he drives.
N o doubt It will he a surprise to
many Americans to learn Just how
many of these “ immigrants” there
are In America now as well as to
know that the reindeer is not only a
part of the symbolism of Christmas
but In one part of this continent be Is

Alaska there are more than 700,000
