eminent position or of great fame In
their time. in contemporary history
In the senate chamber placed IN
inches about the gallery walls are
busts of the vice-presidents Of the
United States. Only the guides OF the
Capitol who have their lessons letters
proof, can tell the names OF these
men without reference to the printed
lists or the printed inscriptions.
When the house cleaning days were
over only a season ago two pictures
were replaced on the walls Of the
corridor of the senate. One of them
was a picture of Patrick Henry and
the other was that of Thomas JET
ferson. For weeks the fact that JEFF
ferson's picture has been labeled
Patrick Henry and Patrick Henry's
had been labeled Thomas Jefferson
went undetected. Finally a visitor
noticed the error, called attention to
1t and had the change made.
Perhaps the most striking picture
In the senate corridors is that which
shows Commodore Perry standing IN
the row boat to which he went from
his sinking flag ship Lawrence to the
ship Niagara at the battle OF Lake
Erie. Perry is pictured erect in the
boat while a small boy evidently a
"midship-mite." also standing trying
to pull the Commodore down to a
seat SO that he will be less exposed
to the furious rain of the shot of the
enemy The boy who is trying to in
duce the commodore to take the nee

a nephew of the great sailor. and 1t
was he who later opened the ports
of Japan to the commerce Of the
world. So It is that In the painting

Get After the Flies.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis
case and an enemy of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health of your
community.
