Mr. Hill of Maryland. Does the gentleman think that if Washington were here today he would accept a seat in this House in direct violation 1 of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution?
 MT. Celler. Well, I think the gen tleman is somewhat unfair about that However, that may be, we will not go into that question now. It might be embarrassing to some of our col leagues.
 MT. Oliver of New York. Will the gentleman yield?
 Mir. Celler. Yes.
 MT. Oliver of New York. Does not the gentleman know that Washington was considered a well known. rebel in his day.
 Mir CeIler Indeed he was; and I am glad the gentleman said so. He surely would have rebelled against diet of near beer He would have wanted something with more 'con- versation' in it.
 Mr. Upshaw. Will the gentleman yield further2
 Mr. Geller. Yes.
 Mr. Upshaw.

 Mr. Upshaw. Any man who hides behind the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments shows he can not discuss the eighteenth amendment.
 MT. Geller. I refuse to yield any further to the gentleman. I hope have answered the gentleman from Texas as to why put into the Record Washington's beer recipe.

 Mir. CeIler. The real purpose is to get the record printejd and sent broadcast throughout the country.
 MT. Blanton. That is the idea. We all know that
 AIr. CeIler. There is no doubt about it. It is in the Record.
 Mir, Blanton. We wanted it from the gentleman.

REUNITED CHURCH MEETS
IN RICHMOND THIS MONTH
Old Confederate Capital To Be
Hest to Lutheran Hosts of the
North and South.

In Richmond, the old capital of the
Confederate States of America, dele
gates from the reunitd Lutheran
churches in the North and in the
South will meet from October 18th to
26rh at the fifth biennial convention
of the, United Lutheran Church in
America. Three times in the past
eight years Lutheran delegates from
the South have gone forth into north
ern cities to confer on ecclesiastical
matters and plan the work of the
church. Once, in 1920, the convention
met at Washington. This year for the
first time delegates from the northern
cities will meet their southern breth-
rem on southern soil
At the time of the War schisms
appeared in the ranks of the great
churches, and the Baptist, Methodist,
Presbyterian and Lutheran denomina-
tions divided into northern and south
ern groups. the separation of three of
these denominations continuing until
today. In three of these groups al
most kerculean efforts have been eX-
erted to reunite the divided churches,
but without success up to the present
time. In the Lutheran church alone
the reunion has been effected and for
the past eight years through the Uni
ed Lutheran Church in America the
Lutheran people Of these two sections
of the country have worked together
for the common good.
After overtures toward merger on
one side or the other had been made
during a period of four decades, the
first approach being made in 1876, del
egates of three outstanding Lutheran
bodies met in New York City in 1918
to organize the present United Luth-
eran Church in America. Two north
ern bodies, the General Synod and the
| General Council, and one southern
body, the United Synod Of the South,
had previously taken definite action
/ favoring the merger and sent repre-
sentatives to the convention instructed
to vote in favor of union that would
at once submerge the animosities and
differences Of half centuyr before

When delegates, representing near
ly million and a-half members, who
are grouped together in "a district
synods, arrive this month for the fifth
biennial convention of the United
Lutheran Church in America at Rich
mond, they will learn of the great
gains that have been made in number
of pastors, number of members, totals
of money raised for benevolences and
congregational expenses and in prop
erty valuation. They will hear reports
on the increasing effectiveness OF
home missionary work in hundreds of
communities throughout the land and
the plans for a consolidation of such
work under one leadership. They will
note the development Of American
Lutheran work in the foreign fields of
India, Africa, Japan, South America
and the West Indies, and the purchase
and occupation Of a new field in China.
They will receive summaries Of vast
educational and social service activi-
ties of the church, and of the efforts
made to tighten the burdens Of Luth-
eran immigrants to the United States
and Canada from foreign lands. And
having passed approval on the accom-
plishments of past years, they will
plan the most effective methods of Gx-
tending the work into vast new fields

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
DOGS AND DEATH

TN LABRADOR and IN New Or
L leans they say that when a dog
is seen digging particularly large
hole in the ground it is a sign that
you will soon hear of the death of
friend or relative. And in various
localities between Labrador and New
Orleans will be found like supersti-
tion, sometimes slightly modif1ed-as,
for instance, in some places the dog
must bury sticks in the hole he digs
in order that the omen may have its
full significance The superstition as
sfar as the digging by the dog Of an
unusually large hole Is concerned Is
easily explained by homeopathic
anagic. The dog digs grave, or rath-
GER, he digs an imitation grave, which.
by sympathetic magic, causes real
grave to be dug-the natural philoSo-
ply of our respected ancestors, the
cave-men. But there appears to be
something further as the dog Is evil
IDENTIFY regarded rs proper agent
for the death announcement and we
find that in some localities it is be-
.lieved that if you meet dog in cross
ing a bridge you will hear Of death
within twenty four hours and in others
there is belief that if dog rolls
in the grass under your window you
will soon hear Of The death of friend,
acquaintance or relative. The lugu-
brious bowling of a dog at night sug-
gests waiting for the dead and to
primitive man what was associated in
appearance or suggestion was asSocia-
ted in fact. Those peculiar senses of
the dog which enable him to realize
the proximity Of unseen animals-in-
Guiding man-gaye him in primitive
times his reputation as ghost-seer. To
the ancient, migratory peoples-and
all of them We're so more or less-the
soul after death must cross river.
Hence the significance Of meeting q
dog while crossing a stream. When the
dog rolls under your window has he
not "sensed" the disembodied spirit
of the friend of whose death you will
shortly hear and is trying to simulate
his demise?

Map Hunting Good Game

Increase In vocabulary and fresh In
terest in geography are products of
the interesting game of map hunting.
Problems may be selected from the
news of the day or from the map
itself, says the Pathfinder Magazine.
For instance, what does Picking mean
to the Chinese?
Equidistant from Picking are Nan
yuan and Pelyuan. The syllable "pe'
or "pei'' is familiar in Chinese Names
So is man." and the mention of man"
causes one to think of Marking as
Nenvsu does to Peivuan: that IS. the
"pe" is north and the nan is south.

First Atlantic Gable

In July, 1856, the first permanent
Atlantic cable was laid from Valentia
bay, Ireland, to Trinity bay, New
foundland, and in September of the
same year a cable that had been lost
completed. These lines We're known
as the Anglo-American cable, and
were managed by company of the
same name. Messages are transmitted
by submarine cable by means of cleo
trio currents in much the same way as
messages are transmitted by land tele-
graph lines, but the sending and re-
ceiving instruments of the cable are
more delicate and more complicated.

THE SMELL OF
HARNESS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

T DON'T deny we don't agree
1 On what we don't like, what we
do;
What seems to me perfumery
May seem quite different to you.
Now, there's perfume past and gone
I always liked, and that was this:
The smell of harness hanging on
A hook, a perfume that 1 miss.
The automobiles mighty nice,
I must admit, in lots of ways;
However nice, it has its price
I sort of miss the good old days.
The automobiles mighty fine
To ride to town, or loads to haul
And yet I miss one joy of mine,
The smell Of harness, after all
Now, was rafsed-and who was
not?-
With cows and colts, with Don and
Kit;
And what's lot of bolts you've got
Besides a harness and bit?
There's something-what I cannot
tell
You maybe know just what mean
They had a sort of honest smell
That you don't get from gasoline.
