Anyway, there arose immediately the new and very potent movement V $ if' '"4 v ill ft ' v in congress for a program of "business appeasement. One of the first things to happen was a declaration by Senator Harrison, Mississippi Democrat and one of the really powerful men in the senate, for a cessation of spending. Or, specifically, Senator Harrison demanded a curtailment of spending, a start toward a balancing of the national budget, in the belief that the whole country is fearful of the gigantic national Graham started out up the tracks of the Erie railroad and walked as far as the Ramapo crossing. From there he planned to cut Into the mountains, but the crossing tender, an old friend of his and an in that section tried to dissuade him. "Theres a rattlesnake den just up the side of that gully, he said, "and rattlers are mean at this time of year. Better go in up the track a ways. old-tim- con-'nu- The foreign policies of the administration were dragged out onto the floor of the senate for examination under a magnifying glass. Of course, the senate did not force any real change in the international relations which Mr. Roosevelt has established. From long observation in Washington, I doubt that the senates criticism of these policies was any too sound, but it had to engage in debate on the subject to let the country know it was watching everything that was being done. It obviously had the effect of demonstrating to the country that the days of Then came Mu the rubber stamp congress are gone, and it constitutes another bit of evi- nick. On September 30 Mr. Chamberlain dence of the new Washington leaderreturned home to ship. The real demonstration of congresread this document sional vitality, however, came the at Heston airdrome. other day when Senator Harrison, He had also signed as chairman of the senate finance the Munich treaty. and Representative committee, Doughton of North Carolina, as chairman of the house committee on ways and means, joined in a letter to Secretary Morgenthau, requesting a treasury statement on a tax program. The two congressional leaders urged a new and sound tax program and an administration reassurance against further heckling of business to the end that business would try to go ahead. What they were asking, therefore, were some signs which could give business, great or small a feeling of confidence that the government at Washington would quit pulling hair. It was a natural request of the treasury. The treasury always has provided the fundamentals of every tax program. Capitol Hill had read Mr. Roosevelts pronouncement concerning "no new taxes as meaning there would be no changes in the tax structure, however, and there were a good many legislators who felt revision of some, and abolition of other, taxes were advisable. -- Congress Will Go Slow on Increasing National Debt mrT ft t late-bloomi- PAIN AND DISCOMFORT OF A COLD Follow Simple Method Below Takes only a Few Minutes When Bayer Aspirin is Used cold, crush and dl$' solve 3 Bayer Tab- Se f'ec lets everything I had ever heard about rattlers. basket down on the boulder while he climbed up to pick h few berries. But Graham never picked so much as a single berry. The minute he reached for them, things began to happen. As he stooped down to part the leaves of the first bush, a rattler shot out from beneath It and landed almost at his feet. Graham leaped back. As be did, the sklrrlng ruffle of another rattler sounded from a niche in the rock just over hla head. Then, all at once, that sound was repeated from a dozen directions. From the right. From the left. From behind him! The sound swelled Into a low, ominous hum. Graham realized, then, that he was right in the middle of that nest of vipers. He took a quick step forward and stopped dead in his tracks. "A big one lay right In my path, he says, "coiled and ready to strike, its whole body swelling and deflating with anger, as if it were being blown up by a bellows. Its tail sounded Its threatening war-not- e and its head was flattened and drawn back for the kill. I tried to back up, and right behind me near a rotted tree trunk another one reared Its head and rattled and hissed. "Talk about things flashing through your mind! In a split second I remembered everything I had ever heard about rattlers. I remembered my grandfather telling that this was the worst time of year to be bitten, for in late August when the rattler is about to seek his winter quarters his venom is twice as poisonous as It is at other times. And I remembered hearing that the speed with which the venom takes effect depends on where you are bitten. My uncle once told me of a woman bitten in the breast who lived Just 17 minutes. Those thoughts went through Grahams mind In Just the smallest fraction of a second, and they stirred him Into action. Over his head was a tree limb. He leaped for it, caught it, and swung out from between the snakes that had him cornered. He landed in an open space, grabbed up a stick and began flailing the bushes to right and left. "I made for the boulder where I had left my gun and fishing basket," he says, still beating frantically with my stick. Another snake struck at the stick, and I threw It away as bard as I could and tore through the bushes like a madman. But the policy of bore appeasement suspicious fruit.

But Graham had seen ratUers before and he wasnt afraid of them. Whenever hed come on them they had always wriggled out of sight as fast as they could. He forgot, though, that a nest of rattlers in the late summer season might actually be LOOKING for trouble. Graham climbed up the side of the hill and walked along a ridge until he came to a place where a big boulder jutted out over the edge of a small cliff. There wasnt a rattler in sight, and he began to think he must have passed the nest the crossing tender had spoken of.

Graham was just seventeen years old, lived in SufTern, N. Y., and spent his spare time hunting in the Ramapo mountains, in season and out. At the time, hunting was out of season, so Graham carried his rifle in a gun case and took. along a fishing basket, just in case he happened to meet up with a game warden. Game wardens can put you in the jug for hunting in August, but theres no law against fishing for minnies at that time of year. h mar-ke- Flowers for a Purpose OARDENERS want flowers for Starts to Ease Pain and Discomfort and Sore Throat Accompanying Colds Almost Instantly The simple way pictured above often brings amazingly fast relief from discomfort and sore throat accompanying colds.
