CONGRESS LEADERS
DIFFER IN VIEWS OF

Clark" mo Legislation to
Restore Confidence Of the
Country" Declares Mann.

WA ASHINGTON, oct. A-With the rec
ord-breaking session Of Congress virtually
at an end the following expressions con-
cerninR It's achievements were made to-
day by representatives Of the three par
ties:
Speaker Champ Clark: I'm my judg-
ment a majority of the American people
lndorse the achievements of the Demo-
cratic Administration. for we have kept
the faith. We confidently rely on our
record In this contest"
Majority Leader Underwood: The
Democratic party is entitled to the con-
fldence Of the people because it mas kept
it's pledges to them"
Republican Leader Mann: There is
lack of confidence throughout the coun-
try, and why should It not develop. There
has been no legislation since Mr.. Wilson
became President which tended to re-
store confidence"
Representative Rupley, Progressive. of
Pennsylvania: lone big blot on the
achievements Of the Democratic Admin
istratlon Is the failure to pass the immi-
grafton bill"
Senator simmons, Democrat: History
will probably refer to the Congress as
one which did things. It has dealt wisely
and we'll with every problem with which
1t was confronted
Senator Poindexter, Progressive: Tho
antitrust bill was shamefully weakened
by omitting all criminal penalties against
the individual violators The war tax
bill is misnomer and objectionable"

the water all the time-they must
come up to breathe.
Now when the ice crust forms over
the water It is sometimes very hard
for the seals to get out
They hunt around till they find a
crack, then they punch and hammer
with their sharp teeth till the hole ia
large enough to stick their heads
through.
Then the hardest work begins.
With turned back lips, the seal sets
his sharp teeth in the ice then moves
his head back and forth, back and
forth, like huge saw across the ice.
round trough is cut in the ice and
Alter some minutes of that hard work,
the seal bitches himself up in il a
little and saws some morel
Then again he bitches up a few
inches further and saws some more.
Sometimes il takes three or four
hours of hard work to get up on the
firm top ice.
The seal mothers are very kind TO
their little ones-they help them 10
get food and boost them up out of
the water when they want to get on
the ice,
One of the funniest sights you ever
saw is to see the big clumsy mother
seal push her baby-push her with her
head and shoulders till the little one is
dumped head over heels on the icel
Then the tired mother will snuggle
down beside the baby 10 protect it
birds of prey.

a tree and had tried to avoid It.
