LET'S GO HOME
By BRASWELL DRUE DEEM
S. Iteprcsontntlve from Georgia.
HERE are many reasons
why the house and senate
should quickly adjourn this ses-
sion of the Seventy fourth congress.
Chief among the reasons Is the fact

fering from heart trouble or a ner-
vous breakdown. This congress lias
worked long, and faithfully, and
well, and, personally, I Insist that
the senate tiring Its business qulek-
ly to an end so that wc may agree
on the matters that must lie agreed
upon between the house ami the
senate, and that all future hear-
ings on house hills, many of which
I am lor, be extended until n ses-

the membership of the house to let

We enn't all live In cabins, hut we
can satisfy our antique cravings by
giving these Ideas some space In our
homes.
This “Log Cabin" crocheted rug
was developed from the old “Log

many of our readers. This model
measures 28x42 Inches ami requires
about 4 pounds of rag rug material.

BALD EAGLE HAS
EARNED ITS RANK
AS AIR MONARCH
Our national bird, the hnld eagle,
chosen in the curly days of the
Union, Is figured on many of our
coins, Is a favored design in matters
of patriotic Interest, and in general
Is considered symbolic of our free
dom.
Its enormous size and Hie striking
markings of the adult make It u
prominent species that is noted on
every appearance. A bird of great
strength and of swift and powerful
flight, it Is master in its haunts and
lias no potent enemies except man.
its life Is led In the vicinity of water
and only casually is It found fur
from that element.
The food of the hnld eagle Is nmia-
ly fish. In Alaska severe complaint
has been made that It destroys salm-
on during tlielr annual runs up the
streams to deposit their eggs.
Elsewhere the eagle often Ashes
by plunging from a height, descend-
ing at an angle on its selected prey,
sometimes going beneath the sur-
face. Rarely It grapples prey so
large that It cannot rise with It and
is under necessity of towing it to
shore. This eagle also robs the os-
prey, being fiercely predatory In such
encounters.
Large birds are sometimes cap-
tured, Including ducks, cools and
geese. Although the eagle Is suffi-
ciently swiff to seize them in flight,
It ordinarily gives chase on the wa-
ter, where'll Is able to tire them by
forcing them to dive until they be-
come exhausted.
There was much discussion before
the bald eagle was finally adopted
as our nation’s emblem by act of
congress on June TO, 1782; Benjamin
Franklin In particular favored the
wild turkey.—Alexander Welmore In
the National Geographic Magazine.
TREES AND RAINFALL 1
There Is much controversy over
the question whether trees nnd other
heavy vegetation bring rain or not.
A great number of forcible point*
are cited both for nnd against till*
question. Hut wo cannot help noting
with Interest a report from the 8nv«
let government. In Russia a con*
slderahle area was planted with
trees in fid font strips 700 foot apart.
Rainfall In the area of these strip*
was carefully checked against rain-
fall In surrounding untreed area*
The results wore astonishing, Th*
Increase In rainfall In the area bor-
dered by the forest strips was from
lit per cent to 27.2 per cent. In th*
treed areas the evaporation between
the strips was from 20 to 35 per
cent less Ihnn In the open.

Beggar's $25,000 "Joke”
People who patronized Kite <!n
Cruz, a genial beggar and seller of
In the markets of Lisbon, often
heard her say: “My greatest joke
will be after l die.” They used to
wonder what the woman meant.
Now they know, for she died the
other day. She has left $25,000 to
n clmrlty home where she used to
sell eggs and beg for free soup.

THE SANE LIFE
By DR. HAROLD WILLIS DODD
President, Princeton University.
' I 'HE devastation of the
A World war and its catas-
trophic aftermath have been in-
terpreted by some ns revealing the
emptiness of accepted values nud
the need for newly fabricated loy-
alties If one Is to he modern and
free. But every man needs some
thing to live by and to live for, and
those who hnve jettisoned received
standards perforce turn to strunge
gods most astonishingly bizarre and
fanciful.
In the look ahead which today 1
urge you to take, he sure to find a
place for Intellectual and cultural
Interests outside your dally occupa-
tion. It ts necessary that you do
so if tills business of living Is not
to turn to dust and ashes In your
mouth. Moreover, do not overlook
the claims of religion as the ex
pluuatlon of nn otherwise uulntel-
lgible world.

Trying Out Real Warfare at Fort McPherson
BRITISH RECOVERY
By STANLEY BALDWIN
Prime Minister, Great Britain.
XITE ARE being censured
VV for not having any con-
sidered plan. I have never been
a slave of a word. If there is a
word that has been ridden to death
today it Is the word plan. I have
seen nothing of planning in nny for-
eign country that would lead me to
think It Is a universal panacea. 1
dont exactly know what plan is. For
some kinds of plans there ure hooks
and pamphlets undertaking to cure
unemployment.
1 have never promised to cure un-
employment. I have taken risks
for unemployment. 1 threw away
an office and nn election because
was convinced that among tilings
necessary to help check growing un-
employment were tariffs? I never
promised to cure unemployment and
I shall never stand on a platform
with anybody who does promise it.
