WASHINGTON. March 11.-(Cnit
ed Press. when Senator Charles S.
Thomas of Colorado left the senate on
March 4. that august body lost much
of the comic relief that occasionally
punotuates debate on wholly prosaic
legislation.
The senate was considering an am
endment of the agricultural bill, pro-
viding SIS, GOO for the study OF pro-
cessos and methods Of home tanning
of lace and other feathers used on the
farm
II should like TO inquire" said
Thomas what lace leather is. |
know there was a species of home
tanning in vogue when / was small
boy. but that was some time ago. Since
then home tanning seems to need rec
ognition. What is it?''
Thomas was told that the amend
ment did not refer to the punitive ex-
ertions of vexed parents, but that lace
leather was used in sewing of belts
and the mending Of harness.
The trouble with farming today. ac-
cording to Thomas. is that it has be-
come an appropriation industry
Long ago he explained, I'VE
reached the point where any activity

occur. or what the activity is, at

farming was farming. when farmers
we're not farmed as they are nova
days. the farmers secured for them
selves needed articles Of both produe-
ton and manufaoture.
Then Thomas took a crack at Sena-
tor Ashurst Of Arizona, who had OBJ
tanned a $4,000 increase on the appro-
priation for studying the physiology of
plants by serving the senator's with
choice varieties of western dates.
II am particularly struck.' Thomas
said "by the new method Of securing
