Lodge Desk Long Used
by Bay State Members

WashingtOn.-The desk in the SEN
ate chamber used by the late Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge during many years
of his service in that body was the
same formerly used by two other dis
tinguished senators from MasSachu-
sets, Charles Sumner and George
F'risbie Hoar. There is report about
the Capitol that at time even earlier
the Lodge desk was used by Daniel
Webster.
When the senate vacated the cham
Der now occupied by the Supreme
court and moved to its present quar-
tiers in the new wing of the Capitol,
the desks, including that which Sen
atOr Lodge used and which had long
seen service, were retained. AS new
states were admitted into the Union
and new senators entered the chamber
desks of the same style were construct
ed for them.
These relics are highly cherished by
the senate, and it has been the I'M
broken rule, SO far as the memory of
the oldest senate employees runs, to
refuse permission for the removal of
any of them.

CHECK RAINFALL
BY OCEAN WARMTH
Find New Way Of Predicting
Precipitation.

San Diego, Cal.-There Is direct
relation between the temperature Of
the ocean and the seasonal rainfall in
the same region, according to George
+. McEWen of the Biological institute
at La JOlla, Cal, who has reached this
conclusion after extended research.
Using this theory, Mr. McEwen has
predicted that the rainfall in San d.
ego and vicinity this year would be
five inches more than the average for
the last eight years. According to
the hypothesis, low summer tempera-
lures in the ocean mean increased
rainfall in the winter, and higher tenn
peratures indicate less precipitation.
"The moisture of the air over the
North Pacific ocean," explained Mr..
McEwen, lis continually replenished
face. The amount of the water vapor
available for precipitation upon the
land Is proportiOned to the mass Of
air flowing in from the ocean.
1T has long been known that high
pressure area over the North Pacific,
conferred 1000 miles or more west Of
San Luis Obispo, reaches its maxi
mum intensity In late summer and
diminishes till about February, when
in some years 1t disappears entirely,
and again increases to summer max
imum. Therefore a summer in which
the ocean high is relatively great
should be followed by a relatively
great transfer of air landward during
the winter or rainy season.
Numerous barometric observations
over the ocean, suitably distributed
both in space and time would serve
to determine the amount Of air form
ing the Pacific high Foreknowl
edge of the amount of air available
for transfer landward would indicate
in advance whether to expect wet
or dry season."
Mr. McEwen said his observations
had indicated that a change in ocean
temperature of one degree Fahrenheit
correspondent, on the average. to diff
ference OF two inches in rain over the
coastal region Of southern California.

Christmas time was coming soon and
all the boys and girls were talking
about it.
What are you going to ask Santa
fOr?" they would ask Tommy. Tommy
didn't know.
His mother had been sick during the
fall and his father had been out Of
work for several weeks and Tommy
had heard it limited that Santa Claus
had helped with the medicine.
"Perhaps." thought Tommy to him
self, Santa has spent all he can af-
ford on our family, for he has to divide
up Christmas between all the fami-
lies"
And when he asked his older
brother and his older sister if this
were true, they said that he was right.
They asked Santa to give them
little of their Christmas in medicines.
Not because they wanted medicines,
but because medicines had to be
bought and money hadn't been coming
in-hardy at all
For one thing Tommy wanted bag
Of candy. He also wanted one of
Santa's oranges. They We're so much
better than the ones at the store.
Better than any other oranges could
possibly be.
Tommy also thought he you'd like
little tin boat'-just ~ one to
float in the bathtub.
But more than anything Ne Tommy
wanted pair of new shoes.
Perhaps that may seem strange
present for Tommy to have wanted.
He had his good shoes and his old
shoes. Only his good shoes were not
so very good any longer and his old
shoes were so old that he was ashamed
of them.
Maybe it seems to some as though
d little boy wouldn't be apt to be
ashamed of an old pair of shoes. May
be you think boy wouldn't think of
his appearance and whether he wore
old clothes or nice ones.
Maybe boys don't like to dress and
fuss and all that sort Of thing, but
Tommy didn't like the feeling that he
hadn't any better shoes to wear.
His Sunday shoes were beginning to
show a little wear and his everyday
ones were so dreadful.
He felt everyone looked at them.
He felt he looked poor and he felt as
though in some way people pitied
him, and though he was only little
boy he hated that.
And he felt they thought somehow
it was his mothers fault for getting
sick and his fathers for being out Of
work for while.
He knew it was not. His mother
didn't enjoy being sick or taking hor-
rid medicine. And his father didn't
enjoy not having work.
He looked ve;y miserable sitting
around the house or going out and
then coming back again and saying to
TOmmy'S mother:
'No luck this time. It's hard time
IF the year."
Yes, there were number of rea-
sons why Tommy wanted shoes.
Then he could wear his Sunday ones
for every day and his new ones for
Sunday. And if, on the muddy spring

FALL REMINDERS

The past few months have been our
euH months with chickens. About all
We could do was to raise a flock of
good pullets for winter egg produc-

poultry knows that the last few
months have called for extra effort on
our part. But the time will soon be
here when we are going to reap what
we have been sowing, writes J. W.

The pullets will shell out the eggs and
the price will soar higher as cold
weather comes on. Our dull months
you see. have been our hard working
months. But to reap what is due us
We must not lay down on the JOB now

Handling Of Pullets in
Autumn Requires Skill

No one thing requires more skill
than the correct handling Of flock
Of pullets so that maximum yield of
Sggs may be obtained all winter First
Of all, the birds must be fat, as this
gives them the necessary strength and
endurance. To have them fat, large
quantities of hard grain must be fed.
Three-fourths of the food they con
sumo should be hard grain It is not
as important during the latter part of
/ their development that they have as
oSnuch mash as. when ready to lay. If
milk is fed very little mash is neces-
sary They should have plenty of
green food at all mes.
When the first eggs are found on
the range, at least onethird or one
half of the birds best develoned should
be placed in their winter quarters. IF
the birds are allowed to remain very
long on the range after starting to
lay, the change to winter houses Is
sure to check them and NAV cause a
fall mott. When the remaining birds
show maturity, they should be put In
winter quarters also.

Caution in Culling Is
"a Urged bV a POultrVman

Practically every rule has its excep-
ton. EARLY melting birds are poor
layers say experienced poultrymen.
This is true in the main, but there are
exceptions.
N e. Chapman, poultryman with
the agricultural extension service, Uni
versity of Minnesota points out that
many farm fiocks went into prema-
ture mott early in June because of
lack of feed, hot poultry houses at
night, and depredations of mites Egg
production by these f1ocks fell off rap
a.siy, but as sufficient feed is supplied
and poultry houses properly ventilated
and the mites exterminated, the fiocks
are gradually increasing production.
when culling such fiocks, each hen
should be carefully studied for evil
dence that the mott is about to sub
side" says Mr.. Chapman. The best
IIIhs will come back and they ought
to have their chance. The poorest
ones will of course. continue to mott
and should be discarded"
