The trouble with the ringing dec
larations Of many candidates these
days is that they are wringing wet.
Col. Stewart, the oil man, started
life as q poor reporter, says a head
line. Children, correct that sem
tence.
The radio has it's faults, but let
us not be too harsh. You can't
broadcast a female impersonator.
A Los Angeles man reports he
was bitten by zebra. We thought
Mr.. Volstead had chased all those
beasts away.
The college freshman who thought
Lindbergh was q Swedish prime
minister isn't in the wrong place
to get what he needs, anyway.
In the advertising section of a
theatrical paper it. is noted that
several saxophone players are cat

After all, suppose / really treat
ed him shabbily and if l can help
him to enjoy his visit ] ought to
do it even if he does insist upon
raking over the past.
He is going to stay two weeks,
he says, so it looks as if / must
give up lot of time to making
him happy again. It isn't exactly
a hardship, though, to bat around
with Norman. He always was nice
looking, and now that he has that
Economically melancholy express
sion he's just too interesting for
words.
Fortunately, Alan and I agreed
before we were married that we
would continue to have our own
friends and see them whenever we
liked. So that's all right. But
he will expect dinner sometime to-
night so mustn't tell you any more
about Norman now.
With dearest love,

Seed CatalOg Time

Whether the seed catalog is a superstition or
= bad habit is much disputed question and
worthy of the consideration of the Wednesday
Night Debating club but that it is as newt
able in January as New Years Day is indubit-
able.
Next to certain mail order house catalog
and before the almanac it is the most read OF
the family shelf of free literature. 1t might
be suggested that it is also the most popular
picture book on the sitting room table.
What visions of giant cornstalks, balloon
size cabbage, over-populated potato hills, ten
der lettuce, dazzlingly beautiful flowers and
trim hedges are reared in the minds eye of
dad and mother when the new catalog from the
seed company arrives. They pore through its
leaves selecting the varieties they will plant IN
the backyard garden in the spring.
Il And the kids are not immune from this seed
mania. They fight for the new seed catalog

things to eat and the planes and vegetables
they will have in their gardens in the spring.
With the seed catalogs the kiddies extend the
planting, cultivating and harvesting over al!

WASHINGTON a.
LETTER SKI

and again referred to the appropriate
committee, which may vote to hold
new hearings or consider the bill
on the basis of hearings before the
House committee. It follows along
the sar procedure in the House
until it reaches the Senate floor. It
may then be called up on the. calen-
dar or by unanimous consent or on
a two thirds vote by invoking clo-
ture.
If, after dcbate-which is limited
to one hour in case of q cloture
vote-the bill is passed as received
from the House, it then goes to the
president for signature.
If any amendments are made,
the bill goes back to the House.
If the House refuses to concur in
the amendment or amendments,
the speaker and the president of
the Senate each appoint committee
of five which meets as joint con-
ference committee and undertakes to
smooth out the differences between
the two bodies.
4AICer the conference commune
agrees on the final form Of the bill,
it goes back to both House and
Senate in it's new form. If both
houses vote for it the enrolling clerk
enrolls it on parchment paper and it
is signed by both the speaker and the
president Of the Senate. If the vice
president isn't handy, the president
pro tenn Of the Senate can sign it.
The committee on enrolled bills
then takes the thing and sends it
by messenger to the White House.
Not counting Sundays and holidays,
the president has ten days in which
to sign it. If he ignores it, it be-
comes law without his signature.
The exception is when Congress
has adjourned. Then all bills sent
to the White House within ten days
of adjournment and remain unsigned
are automatically vetoed-this being
called a pocket veto. If it is formally
vetoed it goes back to Congress with
a message stating the presidential
objections. If signed, the State De.
partment proclaims the new law
and puts it in the state archives.

her when Norman and ! were en-

Norman was coming out of their

on my way to look for some orchid

into each other on the street. At

A Voice From the Past

Probably it was about as fitting tribute to
Abraham Lincoln as could have been devised.
It was night. Across thousands of miles of
. country the business of the day had ended, and
in myriad of homes men and women were
sitting down to turn the dials Of radio sets. In
distant farmhouses and city apartments geanl-
ing copper wires reached up into the darkness
and picked music out of the air.
In q New York broadcasting studio a man
was reading Ida Tarbells heart-warming lit
tie story, 'He Knew Lincoln" Now and then
he would pause, and echoes Of the music that
was woven through the days of Lincons ca
reer went through the air-negro spirituals,
shrill flies playing tunes that once sounded in
time to the march of thousands of tramping
feet. Then the even voice of the reader would
pick up the tale again.
No one knows just how many people tuned
in on this program. But those who did eXpe-
rienced new kind of tribute. For the mo-
ment, Lincoln was not just name, a hallowed
tradition; he was living presence, lowering
prairie
There was something peculiarly intimate
about it. You sat in your living room, you
turned a dial-and all of sudden Lincoln be-
came alive and real before you. You forgot
that you were only hearing skilled elocution-
ist reading book; for the time you actually
were listening to an old man relating his con-
VcISdL1OIlS Will AluCOl1k 4Ou 4SlL SOIuCIlOWS
that you were hearing something authentic
and real.
Then, as the story ended, came the haunt
ing harmonies Of an old-time negro spiritual.
These died away, and Handeps Largo" welled
up into the room, rising slowly, powerfully, in
tones of unspeakable sadness and unspeakable
triumph, as if some unseen organ were pealing
out requiem to great conqueror.
The illusion was perfect You were not
drawing music and words out of a mechanical
continuance; the air of America was filled with
q great chorus in honor Of the homely. UNI
calmly man who was born in wilderness hovel
and grew up in a raw frontier town. It was
as if the Illinois prairies themselves were Civ
ing voice.
And it was not Lincoln alone. In this
chorus were represented all the figures, large
and small, of Lincoln's day, the day when the
country bred giants. There were marching
armies, blue and gray, moving steadily to the
sound of fife and drum. There were distant
trumpet calls from ancient fields where golden
youth was poured out in dauntless heroism
Grant was there, and Seward, and Davis, and
Lee, the courtliest, most knightly figure Amer
lea ever produced.
It was the perfect tribute, finer even than
the marble illared memorial that looks oul
over the lagoon in Washington. The air 0!
America, for an hour, was singing and speak.

Washington-What happens when
a bill is introduced in Congress
Plenty! All sorts Of sieves await
it and if it can get itself made law
in the face of controversy, it may
consider itself lucky. Many persons
have forgotten just how q bill be-
comes q law, so here's how:
First, the bill is dropped into a
basket on the speakers desk and
becomes introduced. The bill clerk
then takes it, numbers it and sends
it to the government. printing office,
where it is printed. Copies are then
returned to the House and Senate
doculpent rooms.
It. is then referred to the COM
mittee which handles legislative
preliminaries for measures of its
general nature and the committee
clerk gives it date on the calen-
dar. The committee decides to
have hearings on the bill and mott
fies all interested parties so that
for or against. n
Alter the nearing, 1t Is referred
to subcommittee which reads the
hearing records, generally changes
the text and perhaps the sense, and
reports back to the committee
whether the bill ought to have con-
sideration or not. The committee
may then adopt the bill or disapprove
it.
If decision is favorable, the chair
man reports the bill to the House.
Many bills die in committee, but
assuming that our bill gets
through, it is sent to the speakers
desk. The bill clerk gives it a re-
port number, it is printed again in
it's altered form and a date is set
for debate. It is then read for
amendment and after the debate,
if any, it is submitted to vote. 1t
may be passed or beaten by viva
voce vote on ayes and nays, by a
showing of hands after teller from
each side has been appointed ia
count or by a roll-call, which is a
long, arduous proceeding, what with
435 members of the House, even
though they're far from all pres
emit.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: B. E. writes:
"About ten years ago fell and
landed on my knees, and since then
they give way at times and I almost
fall. They make gritting sound,
and I wonder if you could tell me
something to use as massage"
Answer: Massage will be Of little
use to you in correcting the trouble
with your knees. Go to a physical
culture instructor and hav: hiEi give
you some exercises which will
strengthen your leg muscles. Some.
times the diathermy electrical treat
ment will help in the correction of
such troubles caused by accidents.
The action of the diathermy current
is to warm the tissues Of the knees
Including the bones. Metabolism in
these parts is increased and the eff
feet is far deeper than anything
which can be obtained by massage.
Question:: L. G. asks: "Will you
please tell me in your health column
the cause, symptoms and cure Of
floating or wandering kidney?"
Answer: The kidneys are not
definitely anchored in an exact posi-
ton, but change their position
slightly with the movements Of the
body. Those who have a general
prolapsus of abdominal organs will
find that the kidneys are always
lower down than is considered nor
NAL. There are seldom any definite
symptoms except those which go
with the general prolapsus. The
backache and bearing-down feelings
associated with prolapsus are sell
dom caused by the floating kidneys
alone, but come from the general
weakness of abdominal and back
muscles which allows the prolapsus
to exist. The proper cure IS in rails
ing these organs through strengthen
ing the abdominal and back muscles
by taking suitable setting-up
exercises.
