Eight Years of a Republican Senate?

CLOSE analysis of the results of the
~ recent senatorial election dis
closes the fact that the Republicans
have clinched their hold upon the SEN
ate for at least eight years, according
to party experts. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er even in II years the Democrats can
win sufficient number of seats from
the Republicans to give them ma
1ority, unless there should be a COM
plete landslide in states now solidly
Republican.
This is due to the geographical ar
rangement of the senators in the or
der in which they retire. Those who
retire In 1923 and 1925 happen to be
from states so situated that all the
Republicans who come up for re-elec-
ton are practically certain to sue
coed themselves it is claimed, while
the retiring Democrats are from
states in which the election of Repub-
licans to succeed Democrats is not I'M
likely.
In the 1923-1924 elections the Re
publicans have a better chance than
the Democrats to hold all the seats
they now have and perhaps make fur
their gains.

Orders entered by the interstate

New Taking Glove.

An ingenious glove by means of
which the blind may converse has
been invented by a physician of An
sonia, Connecticut, who Is himself
rapidly becoming blind and deaf. 1t
is a thin glove, with all the letters
of the alphabet upon It, distributed
over digits palm and back. DR.. Ter
~ himself has learned the precise sit
dation of each letter, so that when
friend spells out word by touching
the several spots, he can follow by
the feeling. The beauty Of DR.. Terry's
invention Is that 1t enables him to
receive communications from persons
who are unacquainted with his sys-
tenn. Any deaf-bl;nd person could
have such a glove made, and, of
course, It dees not matter how the let
tiers are arranged upon 1t, for he
alone needs to know without looking
where they are situated.

will be noted by the dOt-and-dash line
that the carrier track connects all

out of the barn to the manure pits or

Fresh air without drafts is another
important feature Of this barn. On
either side of the building there are
foul air vent shafts near the stable
ceiling. These tents are connected
with the suction ventilatOrs on the

air out of the stable without creating
a draft on the cows.

however, dairy specialists know that
poor housing means increased expense
and decreased production. Feed that
formerly was utilized by cows to
maintain their body heat now pro-
duces milk. Drafty barns promoted
sickness and loss of animals. Incon-
venient barns meant spending hours
caring for the animals, while the mod
erp barn cuts the work to a mini
mum.
For the reasons given, progressive
dairymen look upon good barns as pay
ing investments. Also barn planning
experts have taken the results of sci
entific investigations into considera-

so that the animals are maintained
in a healthful condition and by in
creasing production in quality and
