Mr. Fleming said in part: "The most important part of organi zation of the two branches of congress is election of standing committees. There are 34 standing committees in the Sepate and 46 in the House. These are the workshops of Congress and the real work of lawmaking is done in Committee Rooms.

X pair of snoopers had frequently observed the visits cf the woman in the automebile to the pastor’s study. They knew that her married life was unhappy.

Hadn’t they seen this young married woman enter the pastor’s study alcne; and hadn’t they seen the study darkened a moment later? And just around the corner from the church was the pas tor’s car. A hot time in the old town tenight! The pastor hnd a member of his church choir alone in the pastor's study with the Tights out. Tomorrow the town would reverberate with the scandal.

Public Hearing* "When a bill is introduced, referred to committee and priflted the next step, if it is a measure of considerable im portance, is to conduct a public hear ing. The committee makes an effort to listen to anyone who cares to be heard either for or against a measure, al though witnesses are frequently limit ed as to time. Members of the Cabinet and other officials of the administra tive departments of the Government usually testify on measures in which they are Interested and furnish the committee information in executive session or otherwise. In this way the Administration takes a prominent part in shaping legislation. "Due to pressure of work and the fact that it is impossible for members of Congress to be technical experts on every subject of legislation, the com mittees are inclined to give considera tion to the merits of arguments pre sented in testimony and the recom mendations of the Cabinet and other officials. It is therefore highly desir able, both from the standpoint of Con gress as well as those effected by pro posed legislation, that the latter have an opportunity to discuss frankly the effects of such legislation. "We pometimes complain about the technicalities of legislation, but when we observe organized minorities en deavoring to force class legislation through one House it is a comfort to know such measures may be caught in the meshes of technical procedure in the other and there suffer what is termed automatic asphyxiation.” ing happened. And then the side dcor of the church opened and a couple appeared; but it wasn’t the pastor and choir singer. The couple that came out the side dooi’ was the young mar ried woman and a woman friend. The woman friend was at the church that night, in ancthr room than the pastor’s study, doing some work. Her friend was to meet her there and she turned on the light in the pastor’s study so that her friend could enter through the study. When her friend came in she switched off the light. The pastor was away visit- 1 ing a sick brother. The snoopers were flabbergasted. More than an hour of perfectly good snooping wasted. And they had fail* ed to get evidence with which they had fondly hoped to shock the old town and satisfy its scandal mongers on the morrow’. Just a kaf out of the life of cne little town—that may cr may not be your little town and m y little town— to show how the foul breath cf sus picion may blew upon the innocent i and how easily reputations may be blasted upon plausible but never^ie- less, baseless suspicion.

T HE editor of the Norwalk, Ohio. Herald tal^ps a somewhat different vlew^of the hanking situation, from a good. many people. His idea is as follows: "With rents falling and unpaid, real estate does not present a happy pic ture. Nor does the 6wner of care fully selected bonds feel any happier, with a bunch of them going wrong. A lot of folks very carefully invested in preferred and common stocks in the finest companies in the world and have seen them fall to perhaps a tenth of what they paid for them, and no div idends at all. Some folks kept their money in savings accounts in banks, and some hanks have closed and left them high and dry. But the situation is worth looking at very carefully. "On government authority, most banks that closed were really solvent but for frozen assets and popular timidity. Gradually the closed banks are coming out from under and de positors in even bad cases will get at least 50 per ''cent of their savings. ThaTs tough of course; nobody likes to lose lialf of what they had scrimped and. sacrificed tind saved. But when you hoard and sti*k the roll of bills in a coffee pot or under a mattress, some plug-ugly comes along and burns your feet till you tell| him to take it and welcome. “And what about the great majority of banks that weathered the storm, met all comers and are doing business as usual, carefullv and conservatively, but safely? What about the savings in those banks? They are a full 100 per cent today—and they are the only thing we know of at 100 per cent any where. ■ After all is said and done, a good, well managed bank is still the beet place in all the world for money or savings. Right now in Ohio the banks pay the taxes on ail savings and pay tbeir depositors net Interesf on their savings. We can’t think, just now, of many ptber Investments that are a tenth as- safe as a savings ac count in a solid bank.
