Please tell me what you can about the great lakes.
 The great lakes comprise Lakes Su- perior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and On fario, all of which are connected by rivers, and lie between Canada and the United States, except Lake Michigan, which lies wholly within this country. They form the largest body of fresh water in the world Their area ex- ceeds 0OOOO square miles. They are drained northeastward by the St Law renee river to the Atlantic ocean. The fall from Lake Superior to Lake Erie is only some thirty feet; hence the great drop in the Niagara and St. Lawrence rivers. The lakes are in the midst of a highly productive re zion and furnish a means of cheap transportation eastward of grain, tim Der, ranch products and mineral prod ucts of the west and, again, westward of coal and manufactured articles of the east The lakes are often frozen in the winter.

 What is meant by the long session or short session of congress7 The pres ent congress is called the Sixty fourth How often does congress meet regu- IarIy2
 The constitution requires congress to assemble at least once each year, the date of meeting, which congress may change, being the first Monday in December. Representatives are elect ed for two years, and two regular ses- sions of each congress are held-the long session, from December of each odd year until congress adjourns, gen orally in the following June or July, and the short session, beginning when congress assemblies in December of each even year and adjourns at noon on the following 4th of March. Every session that begins in December of an odd year is long session, and that beginning in an even year must end by law on the 4th of the following March. The congress now in session is the SiXty-fourth congress since the formation of the government, with two regular sessions for each congress. The president may call a special session whenever he thinks it necessary, but special sessions are not counted or numbered.

Tn a recent speech the secretary, of the treasury, Mir. McAdoo, was quoted as saying that under the federal re- serve banking law farmer may bor- row money on real estate at 6 per cent from a local bank and the bank can deposit the security with the Federal Reserve bank and receive money on it at per cent. Is there any such law in effect?
 The law provides that any national bank not in central reserve cities may lend money on real estate mortgages to an amount not exceeding 25 per cent of it's capital and surplus, or one-third of it's time deposits, but no rate of in terest is specified, and real estate loans cannot be used by member banks as security for obtaining funds from the federal reserve bank at per cent or any other rate. .-.

Please give some facts about the speech known as Pennsylvania Dutch" !" it's origin, etc.
 Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania German is a high German dialect spo- ken chiefly in the southeastern coun- ties of Pennsylvania It first entered the United States in 1883. when emt- grants from the Lower Rhine, Alsace, Bavaria and Saxony and especially from the Rhenish PaIatinate, Wurttem- burg and Switzerland fled to this coun- try. The language is primarily Fran cOnian dialect of German, although, in the course of time. many English words have been added. The term Dutch" is, however, a misnomer and is due merely to the fact that the i'm migrants called themselves Deutsch Doitch-tbat i7 German). Owing to religious isolation, the Pennsylvania Dutch long preserved their language with considera ble purity, but itsf use particularly in Ese towns, is steadily becoming more and more infused with foreign clements. The dialect has re- ceived comparatively little literary cultivation. although within recent years a number of poems have been
