Direct ELECTION
j. ). SENATORS
Bill Passed House Yesterday After
Bitter Fight BY Southern Con-
gressmen.

Washington, May 14.-The House
yesterday adopted, 237 to 80, joint
resolution providing for an amend
ment to the Constitution to permit the
election of United States Senators by
direct vote of the people. 1t already
has passed the Senate and now goes
to the President.
All that remains to be done is the
formal signing of the instrument and
the issuance of a proclamation to the
states to signify their wishes on the
proposed change.
The vote was preceded by bitter
fight, in which the Southern members
Joined in common couse against the
resolution. Led by Representative
Bartlett of Georgia, the Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana delegates
fought to prevent its passage because
of the Senate amendment, which gave
the Federal government supervision Of
the elections. They based their oppo-
sition almost entirely on the danger of
negro domination.
The first vote taken was on an
amendment by Representative Bart
lett, which took from the Federal gov
eminent all supervisionary powers. 1t
was defeated, 189 to SO. On the vote
for adoption of the resolution, two
thirds of the House being necessary,
fifty Democrats deserted.
There was not a Republican vote
cast against the resolution, which was
adopted to the accompaniment of thun-
derous applause.
Direct election of Senators was first
taken up by Congress in 1926. From
time to time recurring attempts have
been made to make the Senate popu-
lar body and have its members elected
as are the members of the House.
Numbers Of these resolutions have
died in committee, while others were
passed at the last moments of a Con-
gress, never to receive the Presidents

| day. Amended by the House, 1t has
been in conference since July last
year, and if the House had not reced-
ed from its opposition to granting Fed
eral control of senatorial elections it
might have met the fate of the others.
1t was this danger that led the House
to agree not to press its views.

In view of the present conditions in
the flooded districts of the Mississippi
Valley, the people of these districts are
facing grave problem relative to the
crops that may be planted upon the
land during the remainder of the seas
on. Sweet potatoes constitute one Of
the principle sources of food for these
people, but most Of the seed and plants
in the flooded districts have been de-
stroyed. 1t will be necessary to de-
pend upon the highlands for sweet po-
tato plants and cuttings for planting
in the low country after the waters
have subsidized Many of the upland
farmers throughout the South have
planted beds for their own use and it
is earnestly urged that these beds be
preserved and later crop of plants
obtained for sending to their stricken
fellowmen in the flooded territory.
Any small sweet potatoes that are
now on hand could be planted to make
plants and vine cuttings. Any farmer
having supply of either seed sweet
potatoes or plants will be doing
worthy act if he places these at the
disposal of the farmers in the flooded
districts. The information should be
given to the local agent of the Farm.

AVIATION CLAIMS
V|LIOR |. MASON
Prominent American Crushed to Death
In FaII-Was Passenger
With Fisher.

London, May 14-Victor Louis Ma
son, an American, identified with ex-
tensive mining interests, and at one
time private secretary to the Ameri
can Secretary of War, Gen. r. A. AL
ger, and to his successor, Elihu Root,
was killed yesterday while making a
fight at Brooklands with the English
aviator E. v. Fisher. Fisher also was
killed, by being pitched out of the
machine when at a helgh- of about
$50 feet.
Fisher was about to give an exhibit
tfon and picked Mr. Mason as a pas
senger from among the spectators.
They circled the track once, when eye
witnesses say the monoplane made an
abrupt turn. 1t wavered a moment
and then fell straight to the earth.
The sudden stoppage in the air threw
Fisher headlong from his seat. Mason
was pinned beneath the wreckage,
which caught fire and he was burned
badly before being extricated. Physi-
clans say both men died almost in
stantly.
1t is surmised that some fault de-
veloped in the engine of the aeroplane
which caused the accident, as weather
conditions were perfect.
Fisher was regarded as a capable
aviator He had met, however, with a
number of accidents, one in October
last, in which he was rendered uncon-
scious, and his passenger was injured
painfully. On another occasion, after
a cylinder accident, Fisher made a
flight with one arm strapped to his
side.
Mr. Mason, who had been staying
at the Charlton Hotel for some weeks,
sauntered into the lobby after lunch
and said to the manager:
Il have nothing special to do this
afternoon; where would you advise
me to go?e
Inc manager said:
why not go to Brooklands and see

eLEcTRlcITY AIDS THE DENTIST

ELECTRICITY AIDS THE DENTIST.
The dental profession has great
need for steady and reliable power
and the various machines are so small
and delicate that only little power is
used at any one time and, therefore,
such cumbersome and expensive power
producers as gas-engines, waterwheels
and steam engines are entirely out of
the question. But electricity has adapt
ed itself to all branches of dental work
and it has proven capable and econo-
mical as well.
In the old days the dentist ran his
drill by foot power. This was very
unsatisfactory as it hindered him in
his work and tired him very quickly
when there was plenty of drilling to
be done. Now the drill is operated by
a tiny electric morton which is very
easily started and stopped which will
give any speed desired. Another little
motor is used to drive the dental
lathe and to supply compressed air
for the gas flame for melting gold.
