selves, one summer afternoon. "Oh,
no, let's not play that" said one in an
swer to a suggestion, its too easy"
And the child who had suggested the
game at once expressed agreement.
"Yes, it's so easy that it isn't any fun"
If even small children realize that
thing ceases to be interesting when it
is too easy, older girls, surely, should
not grumble if something Il little diff.
cult is asked of them. The fun of life
comes from doing things that are not

Two Senators for Each State,

Congress consists of two senators
from each state, the smallest state as
well as the largest, and a number of
representatives, according to popula-
ton. The basis of representation, or
number of inhabitants for a represen-
tative, is fixed by congress under each
recurring census so as to secure ade-
quate representation for every state
without making the house too large
and unwieldy. The Constitution of
the United States, adopted in 1889.
said the number of representatives
should not exceed one for every 10000
Of population, and as no census had
yet been taken. $4,000 was adopted as
the ratio of representation and the
population Of the different states was
estimated. BY this process the first
house of representatives consisted of
65 members. Since then congress has
passed - superintendent acts, under Il
different cenSuses, changing the basis
Of representation every time except
once.
In 1900 and in 1910 the ratio was
fixed at one representative for $4,000
population. In 1926 the ratio was i'll.
creased to $4,000, and it has been in
creased every tenth year since till it is
now 211 SIT, while tAH membership OF
the house has increased from G5 to 43J
