Congress Too Big

Programers of next years Congressional Goings

that this increase shall be the last

The constitution provides that there shall be
apportonment every ten years. but now We are
half way through one reapportionment period and
nothing has been done, because congressman have
not the courage to reduce the representation of
state, and only other way is to increase the whole
number of congressman, to give additional repre-
sentation to the states which have increased in pop
ulation, without reducing any others.
1t has always been done this way before, and the
hesitation is due to realization that the time
has come to call halt.
The new scheme would "pass the buck" to tn"

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"Years ago." said the banjo clock,
II mean years and years and years
ago, before there were any clocks at
all, people had queer ways of tell
ing time.
"They knew that the moon went
around the earth thirteen times
year and that the seasons changed
every three months and that every
three hundred and sixty-five days
things began all over again, and that
was the end of one year.
"They also knew that every TWEEN
ty-four hours was another day.
"But they had no way of marking
the day and night off in blocks Of
twelve equal sections each.
$50 they had very queer ways of
telling time.
"One way was to have tall candles
marked in twelve equal parts. 1t
took exactly one hour for each part
to burn.
"Another way was to have long
pieces of rope tied with twelve knots
equal distances apart. 1t took just
one hour for the rope to burn from
one knot to the next.
Another way was an hour-glass.
That was hollow glass shaped like
a double ball and joined together in
the middle. There was a tiny hole
between the two big ends. The up-
per end was filled with fine sand
which dropped down into the lower
end grain at time. 1t took ex-
actly one hour for all the sand in the
upper part to drop down to the lower
part Of the glass through the tiny
opening. Then it was turned UPSIDE
down and it started all over again"
~ have seen an hour glass" said
Nick.
"That's NIGEL" remarked the clock.
"Yes, there are still few Of them
around. Another way to tell time
was by sun-dial. That was some
thing like clock. Only it had mere
ly face with numbers on it-no
works. The shadow of the sun on it
told the time. But on cloudy days
or in snow-storm it was no good
Or at night. They were kept out
doors.
$50 people began to need some
thing to tell time by, and at last an
old astronomer who knew all about
the sun and the moon and stars and
things, invented q sort of clock. His
name was Calico. Can you remem.
Der that?"
We'll try" said the Twins
thoughtfully.

banjo clock.
