NEW census, bigger house of repre-
~ sentatives. An increase of 90 to
60 members, however, would be toe
much of good thing. So Representa-
tive Siegel of New York. chairman of
the house committee on census, pro-
bosses compromise.
Mr.. Siegel proposes that the ratio
of population for each representative
shall be 100000 instead of 211,S77 as
at present. This scheme, while pre-
venting such large increase in the
membership as the retention of the
present unit would mean. yet would
result i'm the addition of forty-fve rep
resentatives to the present member.

Definition of a Friend.

Some one defined friend as zone
who is truer to me than I am to my
SELF" We are not always true to our
selves, and one of the highest offices

its possession, is not the highest type
