REPRESENTATIVE FRED

REPRESENTATIVE FRED
ZIHLMAN, chairman of the
House District Committee,
stayed up all night recently,
acknowledging birthday greet
ings from more than 200 friends
in Cumberland, Md.
Zihlman's fooorite story IS
about the cotored boy who had
been caddying for generous
sportsman on Southern course,
and had been given a. gold
wotch by the g. 8. for helping
to keep his score down.
The boy didn't know how to
tell the time, and neither did
his best friend. But the best
friend Was enuious, and more
oUer suspected that the proud
possessor couldn't make use Of
the timepiece.
''What time is it, big boy?"
asked the best friend.
The caddy pulled out his
watch. stared at its face and
turned it to his 4uestioner.
"Dah she is, he said,
proudly.
The nonpiussed b. +. gazed
studiously at the hands.
"DoeRone eff she ain't." he
said. thine I was goin'."
Hello; Chief" is the greet
ing hurled at SENATOR FRED
ERIC M. sACKETT of Ken

mittee investigating the District,
when he steps into the cloak.

The salutation dates from the
day the investigation opened.

covered it from view when
photographers took a picture of
the group. Yesterday, the
gilded token of authority was
adorning the waistcoat of the

clerk of the District Committee,

mands on PRESTON for it's re-
turn.
Another Nimrod Of the Capt.
tol i. HYNES TERRY, who
guides thousands of tourists
annually through the building,
from the Pompeiian corridor on
the Senate side to the House
lobby on the other.
About three years ago,
Terry took a party of Congress
men to the Virginia mountain
country for some hunting. The
party cornered a little black
bear, and Terry ordered that
the animal be lassoed.
But one. member of the
House, who shall be nameless,
decided that little black bear
wasn't dangerous, and tried to
pet it. The little black bear
was, and the member nursed
scratches, bruises and bites for
week. He swore Terry to
secrecy about the incident.
Terry jokes with his touring
parties as he leads them through
the Capitol. The other day, q
woman tourist told him she was
a Pennsylvania Democrat.
"They don't allow Democrats
in Pennsylvania" the guide re-
torted, amiably. eff any get in,
they give them three days to
get out"
Speaking of names, can any
one suggest a better name for a
secretary than Notes? Well,
JOSEPH NOTES i. secretary
of the Northeast Citizens As
sociation. He has served in
that office for some time and
the members of the association
liked him so weH that he was
reelected at the last meeting.
Well, perhaps there is some.
thing in a name after all.

Safe Expert Opens
Door By Telephone
Though so Miles Away Man
Directs Movement of
Tumblers Over
Wire

There may be nothing new under
the sun, but a young woman employed
lin an Office in q western state Ger
tainly rsed The telephone to q good
advantage when she lost the combina.
tion to the Office safe. Remembering
that there was a safe expert in .
town about SO miles away she placed
a telephone call asking him to come
to her assistance.
The expert, remembering the slogan
Don't travel-talk" instructed the girl
to place the telephone transmitter
next to the safe door and turn the
dial. He then directed her by the
sound of the tnmblers how to operate
the dial. By following his instruc-
tions the young woman was able to
open the safe door. The entire time
consumed in the transaction. includ
ing the placing of the long distance
call, was less than five minutes.

NEW USE For OLD BROoMs

Brooms have been used for years
to put out dirt. Recently Forest
Service officers proved them useful
in putting out fire. On bunch
grass fire, rakes are poor fire tool
because they catch on the clumps
and allow ashes to run through the
teeth. On recent bunch grass fire
on the Carson National Forest in
New Mexico, one man with a broom
was said to be worth three with
other tools. A fire fighter with a
wet broom could knock the fire down
and sweep back the necessary ashes
almost as fast as he could walk.

AUTO PRODUCTION SPEED
ING UP

The manufacturing facilities OF
Chevrolet Motor Company, number
ing 16 great manufacturing plants in
this country, are rapidly approach
ing the volume Of output necessary
to meet this years revised annual
quota which calls for the manufac-
ture of 100000 passenger car and
truck units.
This was signified last week when
w. S. Knudsen, president of the
company, announced that March pro-
duction would reach 100000 units,
an amazing output when it is con-
sidered that active production on
the new six cylinder cars has been
underway less than three months,
Although no definite figures were
issued it can readily be assumed
that April's schedule will call for an
even larger production, and that
midsummer will witness quantity
output in all of Chevrolet's assembly
plants never before equalled by a
manufacturer of six cylinder auto
mobiles.

WILD ROSE LEADS POLL FOR
NATIONAL FLOWER

The wild rose has passed all other
flowers in an effort to determine the
most popular American wild flower.
86,O23 votes cast thus far in a
nationwide campaign, the wild rose
leads with $1,000 votes.
The columbine is next, with A.
go votes, and the goldenrod third,
with 10,400. The goldenrod is one
of the flowers in which Thomas A..
Edison says he will find rubber.
Campaigns are on in twenty-one
States through women's clubs and
schools. In all the campaigns the
various wild flowers are studied over
period of weeks before the day
set for the votes.
The American Nature Association,
which is conducting the search for
the most popular wild flower, reports
that the phlox, violet and daisy are
running. strong, while dogwood and
mountain laurel are holding their
own.

The flavor of pineapple combines
unusually well with that Of cream or
cottage cheese. Honolulu salad con-
sists of a slice of pineapple on bed
of lettuce with ball or cube or
cheese in the center and mayonna1se
dressing. The cheese is sometimes
mixed with chopped nuts or green
pepper or pimento, and seasoned
with salt. 1t may be put through a
potato ricer and sprinkled over the
pineapple. Chopped pineapple and
cheese make an excellent sandwich
|spread.
Carbon tetrachloride has been
found to be the best solvent for re-
moving stains made by cod-liver oil
on non-washable materials. If the
material can be washed, soap and
warm water may be tried first. For
very fresh strains, part of the oil
may be absorbed by blotting paper,
fuller's earth, brown paper, or other
absorbents. If the stain is old
bleaching agent may be necessary on
white fabrics after using solvent.
Farmers Bulletin 1474 On stain re-
moval gives detailed directions for
taking out stains of all kinds from
fabrics.

Fry small fish over low even
heat, in a small amount OF good
favored fat, using heavy skillet.
Such as perch, butterfish, spots, or
smelts, are wiped dry, rolled in flour
or corn meal, and put into hot tat
without crowding. Reduce the tenn
perature and cook evenly and slowly
until brown crust is formed. Turn
carefully and cook on the other side.
If turned too soon the fish may
break and soak up fat. Filets OF
founder and paddock are often roll
ed in egg and bread crumbs and
fried in deep fat, but they may also
be Toured and cooked like small fish.
Serve a section of lemon for squeez-
ing over the fish with each portion.
Send fish to the table very hot On q
hot platter as soon as cooked.

Toll Operators Passing Out-ot-to,om
Calls.
Increases in telephone operating eff
ficiency increase out-of-town calls.
This has made it necessary to in
crease the number of direct lines be-
tween communities having common
business and social interests. In
speeding up calls between out-of-town
communities far and near. telephone
officials have provided direct circuits
which not only give faster service, but
also improve transmission.
Among the latest direct circuits to
be connected By the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company are
those serving Washington. D. c., and
Albany, N. y: Lynchburg, Va. and
Bristol, Tenn: Onancock, Va, and
New York City: Baltimore and Tren-
ton: Wheeling, w. Va, and Youngs-
town; Fairmont, w. Va, and Oakland,

LINE AND PARAGRAPH

LINE AND PARAGRAPH
Trees help to build soil. When
the woods burn, valuable fertilizer
is destroyed. Often this is worth as
much as SIS to $25 an acre.
Many persons think the range
plants mule ears" cheese weed, and
snowberry, or buckbush, are poison
Gus to livestock, but thorough tests
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture show that it is perfectly safe to
allow stock to Craze on these plants.
Good lambs can't be raised from
ewes that are not milking freely and
lit is economy to feed ewes heavily
after lambing. They should be fed
lightly the first day or SO and put on
full feed by the third or fourth day.
Heavy-milking wees can make good
use of from l to pounds OF grain
a day.
The poultry flock needs yard OF
it's own and should not be allowed to
roam over the premises with cattle
and hogs. Fresh, sweet land is in
valuable for poultry, and the yard
should be large enough SO that the
soil can be cultivated and sown to a
green crop. A good grass yard can
DE maintained on fertile soil by hav-
ing from 220 to ESQ square feet OF
land per bird. More space is neces-
sary on poor grassland.
A few pointers on getting the
work horse or mule into good condi-
ton for heavy work may come in
handy. Groom the animal daily.
See that it's feet are either properly
trimmed or shod. Give each ami
NAL it's own collar, see that it fits,
and clean it daily. Adjust the har-
ness SO that the animal. can work
comfortably and efficiently. Wash
the shoulders after each days work
with lukewarm water and CASTLE
soap, followed by a cold saltwater
rinse. In the field raise the collar
frequently and clean dirt, loose hair,
and sweat from the shoulders and
collar. If possible, take on the
harness at noontime.
Fly time will soon be here again,
and an ounce of prevention of ny
breeding is worth pound OF fly
swatters, sticky fly paper, or traps
later on. Manure is a favorite
breeding place for flies. Inclosing
or screening the manure pit or bin is
a great help in controlling this pest.
Tent traps or conical traps, placed
over holes large enough to attract
flies to the light, may be attached to
the top of the pit or gin. Water
tight floors are desirable in stable.
Dirt or wooden floors enable many
fly larvae to migrate from the ma
nure to the soil and develop there.
Troughs and hangers should be kept
clean, as surprisingly large numbers
Of fiies win breed In small quantithse-
of material in the corners OF sucn
places.
In mixing tinted paint for house,,
careful estimates Of quantity needed
are necessary in order to insure hav-
ing enough. Farmers Bulletin
1452-F tells how to estimate guam
titles needed and how to mix the
paint. If ready-mixed paint is to be
used, it is not necessary to make
such careful estimates because more
of the same kind can be bought II
you run short. For the outside OF q
frame house Of moderate size In
good condition and which is to be
repainted with two coats, it Is fairly
safe to get as many gallons ready
mixed paint as there are rooms in
the house. For three-coat job get
about one and one-half gallons per
room.
