Two Senators for Each State.

Congress consists of two senator's
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 ensus so as to secure ade-
luate representation for every state
without making the house too large
md 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
vet beer taken, 10000 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
So members. Since then mgr has
passed IL apportionment acts, under 13
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 1920 the ratio was in
creased to $4,000. and it has been in
creased every tenth year since till it is
now 211,S77, while the membership Of
the house has increased from 65 to 435.

Big Oil Supply.

Last year the United States pro-
duced BAL 100000 barrels of crude oil,
approximately 6S per cen Of the
worlds consumption. In 1916 its
share was about 60 per cent. A large
part of the fuel oil used by the Brit
lsh navy comes from Mexico. Last year
Mexico produced 60,OO0,00O barrels,
about 20,000,O00 barrels over the out
put the year before. Russia in 1917,
produced 70,O0O,0O0 barrels, a falling
off of about 10000 o barrels from the
1916 production. In the Dutch East
Indies 100000 barrels were pro-
duced last year and 100000 barrels
the year before. Roumania in 1917
produced 100000 barrels as COM
pared with 100000 the year pre-
vious. Most of the Roumanian oil
fields are now under control Of Ger

OLD GOTHIC BARNS
Great Structures in England
Similar to Village Churches.
unapproachabIe In Dignity; Beautiful
as Cathedrais; No Ostentation Of
the Builders Art.

The great old stone barns of Eng
land, dating. many of them, from the
fourteenth century, are, comparatively
speaking, little known to the general
public, says the Christian Science
Monitor. The beautiful architecture
to be found in the English village
churches has received its full need of
appreciation, and so, though possibly
in a slightly less degree, have the
fine old manor houses which dot the
countryside and provide a most inter-
esting study In the local variations
which Occur in the generally prevail
ing style at any given period. The
barns, however, have been rather neg-
lected, and literature on the subject is
practically nonexistent.
Yet the barn is intimately bound up
with the history of the neighborhood
in which il stands, and where, for pos
sibly nearly 500 years, 1t has been full
filling practically the same eminently
important functions, with little change,
for the benefit of the folk In its neigh
borhood. The methods of the farmer
may vary, but the general routine Of
same, century after century. and the
great barns still stand ready to house
the peoples food as they have done,
summer and winter, for so many hun
dred years.
These old Gothic barns are very
dignified and very beautiful buildings,
comparable in some ways to the vii.
lage churches whose contemporaries
they are, and If they are less ornate,
they are, in their simplicity, hardly
less imposing. Indeed, some people
would give the balance in favor of
the barns in this matter.
1t is by M means always an easy
matter to tell the precise date of
these barns at first sight, but some
times there is a little carving, a bit
of tracery or a final which will supply
the clew, or possibly again, the form
of a buttress may afford an indica-'
ton but fortunately there are gener-
ally local records to which acces may
be had containing details of the origin
and foundation of the barns.
Among the famous fourteenth CEN
fury barns Of England are those az
Glastonbury, Wells and Pilton in Som
e~rsetshire, Great Coxwell in Berkshire
and Abbotsbury in Dorsetshire. These
are all what may be described as barns
of the first magnitude; great cruel

size and dignity with many churches.

Again Crossing Wires

which would have full authority to negotiate

tary Redheld brought together a group of
prominent industrialists and formed the In

Ihat body began al once series of CON

producers were called TO WASHINGTON and
after an exhaustive review OF the state of

AFTER the lumbcrmcn were called into con
ference, and Il tentative agreement was ar
rived at Proceeding further in its work
the commission invited the bituminous coal
producers to meet with it. The operators,
through the National Coal Association,
readily asscnted, and a two-day conference
followed The coal men, without Darlev
agreed to fix a basis for coal prices for the
hchcht of the consumer and for the good OF
the market generally, but they insisted on
one reservation. They wanted it understood

There was nothing unreasonable in this
reservation, in so far as the general pubIic
could Judge, but the railroad administ ration
demurred. 1t gave notice that it would NOT

for it at the price which the other consumers
would pay No reason was given for this
beyond the general statement that the rail

cited the concern OF the Industrial Commits

representatives OF the railroad administration
upon the subject OF steel prices and de-
