Seniority important
In House and Senate
|. ". Dinsasre Writes Slcead Article on Affairs
at Capitsl. Important Committee Work
Requires Many Yeafs Of Experience


1t is q sound principle Of business
enc particular line Of endeavor tends
toward efficiency. Each day In our
daily papers we read the old and
true story, From Erraud Boy to
General Manager" and It proves an
inspiration to those who are faithful
and intend to follow one vocation
through the years. It Is reasonable
to believe that years and years spent
in mastering the intricate details of
q large business, should In the end
have its reward in . position of
power and importance. The influ-
entail men in industry today are
those who have spent years Of serv-
ice in the particular line which they
represent. They have finally become
experts and authorities.
Would this same analogy apply
TO the business Of Government?
Would 1t be true that years spent in
the service Of the people as q SEN
ator nr representative carry with
them influence and power which
could not otherwise be oste.rel,
Yes. especially SO under the rules
and practices OF Congress which rec
ognise seniority, perhaps. even in
more ways than business. The more
years served by a senator or repre-
sentative; the greater the opportun-
ity for influence and prestige.
The great work Of the Congress Is
done in large part by numerous COM
mittees. These committees consider
all Bills, Acts. Resolutions; hold
hearings and conduct Investigations.
The members to whom are given the
chairmanships of these committees
are those belonging to the party in
power whose service in Congress en-
titles them to the positions. The
longer the service in Congress, the
more important the committee to
which the member IL assigned a.
chairman. In the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Speaker and Floor
Leader are chosen from among those
who have the longest service record,
with, Of course. some restriction a.
to qualification and desire to serve.
These positions naturally outrank
and are Of more importance than
the chairmanships Of House COM
mittees.
In the Senate the presiding officer
ID the Vice-President Of the United
States. There is also . president pro
tempore who is chosen by vote Of the
senate. This Is more of an honorary
position than n Of Importance and
influence. OF the many committees

sldered as being the most important.
They are Appropriations. Foreign

COOKING MOST DRIED FRUITS
10 Not to Soak or Cook In Too
Much Water.

Dried fruits are usually given long,
slow cooking In water below the boil
ing point. They may be soaked for a
few hours, or they may simply be
washed and put directly into the warm
water for cooking. The important
point to be observed. says the United
States Department Of Agriculture, is
not to soak or cook In too much water.
The dried product cannot be expected
to have as much flavor as does the
fresh, so pains must be taken to dilute
that flavor as little as possible.
Most recipes for cooking dried
prunes and apricots direct that two
cupfuls of water be used to one cupful
of fruit; but better-flavored product
will result If equal measures of wa
ter and fruit be used. and the cooking
Is done slowly In tightly covered YES
sci. so that little of the steam escapes.
Dried fruits may be sweetened slight
ly with sugar, or with any sort Of sirup.
They usually contain a good deal of
sugar themselves. They are to be used
for sauce. in buildings, fruit cakes and
cookies, compotes. whips, souffles, and
even salads, much as fresh fruits are
used.
