Reapp0rtionment Of
House Deep Problem

Washington, March 5.-Gp)-First
throbs of Congress periodic head
ache over reapportionment are be-
ing felt BY the House Census Com
mittee. ~
The problem, presented by the
Constitution, Is to divide the House
membership Of 435 so that all con-
stituencies hin the country will be
as nearly alike numerically as pos
sible. 1t lpoks like simple mat
ter Of arithmetic. but Representa-
tives and census bureau officials
know that it makes Chinese puz-
gle seem downright elementary and
that Jefferson and Webster weren't
Just idlingI away their time when
they debaked the subject many
years ago.
What ais the problems from the
mathematician point Of view are
the political questions involved in
reshaping Congressional districts.
The spectrcs of taxation without
approximation and the ghost Of
the "ALbama paradox" Two
methods of rcapportionment have
been deviscd-the major fractions
system now in use. and the equal
proportions rule--but no guarantee
has been found that either won't
turn up catch question some
where.
Under both systems, the popu-
lation Of the country is divided by
435. The resulting quotient, deter
mining the number of persons per
Representative, is divided into the
population of each state, giving the
number of Representatives per state.
Invariably many states are thus
credited with a fraction of Repre-
sentative in addition to their whole
ones. In the equitable disposition
of the fractional representation lies
the biggest difficulty.
The alabama paradox" the bug
bear Of reapportionment, came to
light in 1880. The House then com
prised 800 members and under a
method similar to the major frac-
tions plan, Alabama had eight Rep
rescntatives. When the total was
increased to 800 under the same
rule, Alabama lost one. That dis
covery, and a more aggravated case
in Maine, upset the system which
had been in effect since 1850.
When the House membership was
3S3, Maine had four, lost one when
the total climbed to 1856, regained
it at 387, lost it at 389 and won it |
back for keeps at 39l.

MAdge and Mary Compare Notes On
 Eleanor Lincoln

I looked at Mary Harrison with exasperation mingled with my amusement at her nonchalant. even callous attitude toward Noel Nerit- zons devotion 10 her, and her an nouncement that when he "got over his peeve' he would be ready 10 have her make it up to him" l knew she was fully justified in her assumption, but it irritatel me nevertheless.
 DO you know what your Uncle Dlcky would call yoI?" I asked,
 Sure" she returned, promptly. "A conceited little devil You ought 70 pay me something for saying that, Auntie Madge. It's what you're yenning to call me. only you're too iady-nke.'
 She grinned at me knowingly, and l capitulated.
 There's ony one thing I ought 10 do." l said laughing. and that s to take you over my knee and slip per you soundly. But as that isn't quite acticable-although l warn you that it's possible. and that also like 'Egbert' of Red Gap I can be pushed just so far-wcll shelve tho subject of your admirers for a while and I'll remind you that you haven't yet repeated to me the conclusions about Miss Lincoln you've already iotted down In that notebook of yours, and added the ones you set down tonight"
 She flushed again this time a bit resentfully. and I realized, too late. that she probably thought I meant humorously my wholly innocent ref erence to the notebook in which she conscientiously jots down all her impressions Of people and events. With a mental anathema at my own clumsiness I hastily made the only amende possible.
 i've conned this affair over SO much" I said casually, with appar- ent ignorance of her perturbation, that I'm beginning to mistrust my own judgment. I need fresh view point. and I don't know anyone pos sessing better powers of observation
