THE CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY

The new congressional directory is out
congress. The prepondcrance of lawyers
among the legislators IS very marked. In
the senate there are 80 men who have been
admitted to the bar, and in the house 26S,
according to the directory
Next to the law, the newspapers seem to
have contributed the largest number Of
men to congress. There are seven senators
who were publishers of newspapers when
they came to the senate and some of them
still continue to publish their newspapers.
In the house some 80 men were engaged in
the newspaper business when elected to
congress. The senate boasts of two doctors
Of medicine, Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire and Senator Lane of Oregon,
and the house has several.
Four of the senator's admit to being
farmers" and score or more of the
house members are tillcrs of the soil at
home -Four senators give manufacturing
as their business and three of them are
\ bankers. In the house "A men acknowl
edge they are manufacturers. Senator
Wadsworth of New York, who is Elihr
Roots successor, is next to the youngest
Senator Luke Lea Of Tennessee is the very
youngest. He was born in 1879 Their

Right Religious Atmosphere.
springfield, Vt, Reporter.)

springfield, Vt, Reporter.)
In the address given by the Rev. Dr.
Houghton of the Center Congregational
church at Brattleboro last Sunday en-
phasis was laid upon the fact that
there had not been the right religious
atmosphere in Brattleboro in the past.
The particular indictment made by the
preacher was that the church people of
that place did not take their religion
Seriously He also said that there
was lack of spiritual force that would
inspire young people with a desire to
be willing to enter the service of God.
Yet another statement was that q there
cannot be strong religious atmosphere
unless church members come to the
house of God on Sunday
Well said. These things are as true
of Springfield, and probably of every
other place in New England. When
church members do not take religion
seriously how can they expect to get
any one else to do so? The stream will
rise no higher than its fountain, and
many church member takes his relig
ious duties on Sunday so lightly that
if it is pleasant, it is too pleasant tc
attend church; and if it is stormy, il
is too uncomfortable to attend. And sc
they put God last and self first, anG
then wonder why it is that the preach
err does not build up the church faster
And what is true on Sunday Is only
too true during the week with many.

That Boundary Dispute.
lRnrlington News

Now that the question has gone to the
United States Supreme Court we are in the
way of finding out IN due time--in three
years, in other words, for it takes that
length of time to get a case through our
highest tribunal-whether or not New
Hampshire owns many hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of Vermont real estate under
the claim that the west bank of the Con
nectcut river extends that far inland.
When the New Hampshire grants were
set apart from New Hampshire as the state
of Vermont, the west bank of the Con
necticut river was made the line of demar-
cation. For many years New Hampshire
has claimed that the division placed land
on the west side of the river within its
borders, and some of this property is taxed
in New Hampshire today. Vermont, claim
ing that its borders extend to the low wat
err mark, is also seeking to obtain the taxes
on this land
Now we will find out where we are at.

The senior editor of the Granite State
Free Press, published at Lebanon, y. H.,
remembers the time when the country was
in a state of preparedness. Every able
bodied man from IS to IL had to appear at
the May training half day, and another
half day in September, armed and equipped
for military duty is, with gun,
knapsack, belt, cartridge box, canteen and
powder horn A week or two later a
whole days muster by regiments was held.
There were AZ regiments of organized and
equipped militia in New Hampshire under
the statutes of 1912, and the situation
with regard to military training was much
the same in the other New England states

The Boston Globe takes occasion to ex-
plain that it is printing a yellow newspaper
not from choice, but because the manufac-
turer from whom it purchases its paper is
short of the requisite aniline dye. Many
other newspapers may be forced to use
yellow sheets within the next few months
Every new contract for a years supply of
newspaper stock contains new provision
relating to color, which the manufacturers
cannot guarantee.

Warning is given that the price of sugar
at retail may go up to 10 cents a pound by
next spring The main reason is that the
worlds supply of beet sugar is very largely
cut off on account of the European war
Germany and Austria are both large pro
ducers of sugar. We usually think of this
common household necessity as coming
from sugar cane, but as a matter of fact
under normal conditions two-thirds of the
sugar supply of the world comes from
beets.

A Loss to the State.

In the resignation of the Rev. R. NJ
Houghton from the pastorate of the
Center Congregational church at Brat
tleboro to accept that of the larger
Church of the Redeemer in New Hav-
en-, Conn, not only Brattleboro, but the
entire state suffers distinct loss He
was a larger man than his denomina-
ton, and broader man than his town.
A perfect gentleman, a good mixer, a
public spirited citizen, a strong fear

guide and a rare friend, his going

done few times the engine begins to

the other foot to the ground. 1t takes
skilful rider to remain in the seat Of

While the motorcycle is not ordi-

vestigate the four foot thank-you-

This is better, however, than buying a
seven-passenger automobile and riding
around the country with nothing in the
tonneau except a plush lap robe and
fresh air.

the small cakes, creamer and sugar
bowl, teaspoons and cups and saucers.
Cups may be had that are artistic
and shapely from ten cents to as
many dollars. but the tea tastes as
well from the ten-cent one and if one
is broken, your heart is not. Tea is
served at four o'clock so that it does
not interfere with the six o'clock din
ner and is not a meal in any sense.
The correct way of preparing tea
is to take the freshly drawn water at
the first boil, scald the teapot, then
add tea a teaspoonfu1 for each person
and one for the pot; cover with the
water, then let stand five minutes, add
enough water to serve. allow it to
stand minute then pour
If you desire to make the tea with
tea ball it may then be served of
required strength to suit the individ
ual taste. A pretty pitcher of hot wa
ter is another requisite. as we'll as

makes a great difference in the flavor
Those who enjoy Russian tea with
the lemon will take Glove or two. A
pretty way to add flavor as we'll as
sugar is to rub the cubes of sugar
over orange or lemon rinds to absorb
the volatile oils.
A very pretty entertainment for
your guests, when entertaining at a
simple tea and group of congenial
friends are gathered round. is to have
fortunes read from the tea cups. There
are professionals as well as amateurs
who do this in very entertaining
way. Tea for this entertainment
should be unstrained or a pinch
dropped in each cup as it is served.

The Lure of London, lillian Whiting.
One of the best of the recent books
on London, in which the author gives
intimate impressions of London from
an artistic and literary standpoint
She says in her opening chapter "that
men are not moved by economic con
siderations, not by the pressure of i'm
mediate necessities, nor by the still
more potent force Of scholastic instruc-
ton; but by the force of ideals alone.
And the ideal forever haunting human
ity is that of the spirit world; outside
the limits of our space and time. Lon
don, with her working-me S colleges,
her vast and enthusiastic army of So
eial workers, her religious influences,
focuses the spiritual significance until
its force is universally recognized
Thus is evolved the Lure of London,
