mendment 20 the Federal Constitu-
ton that provides for theselection of
members ofthe United States Senate
shall be by means Of direct vote
of the people, will be ratified by the
various state legislatures. Thirty
states have already ratified the a
mendment, and it only requires
thirty-six in all to make the a
mendment a binding law upon all of
the states of the Union. 1t makes

freezing point As we see it, we look
upon its warmest regions, and the
rapfdity with which it is cleared of ice,
snow and cloud shows the atmosphere
to be rare and the moisture little in
amount ana readily evaporated. These
