What the Senators Would Do

A headline over a Washington story reads as fol-
lows: Senators Would Smoke Out Hoover" IN
less the signs in the heavens can be deciphered with
out glasses. the senators have on hand the biggest
smoking job of their lives.
There are a lot Of senators who are clamoring for
farm relief who favor the Brookhart plan, and the
Brookhart plan calls for a huge revolving fund OF
more than a billion dollars with which the gov
eminent would purchase crops so as to relieve the
domestic market Of a surplus and would provide q
subsidy up to $500, 600, 900 to take care of any losses
incurred by selling surpluses on the world market
at prices less than those paid for the crop.
1t would endeavor to establish the cost of produc-
ton and would arbitrarily fix the prices of crops
ct a sum five per cent in excess of the cost of pro-
duction. President Hoover is on record against
price fixing. taxes or equalization fees or any method
which would put the government directly into the
agricultural business. There are senator's who believe
in the equalization fee plan:
Calvin Coolidge vetoed the McNary act which car
ried the equalization fee. He was opposed to price
fixing. President Hoover is opposed to price fixing.
In the long run the American farmer will furnish
his own relief. He will diversity: he will feel him
self; he will produce the stuffs that will find ready
sale at home; he will keep dairy cattle and sell the
butter fat: he will raise pigs and feed the milk to the
pigs; he will go in strong for poultry; he will have
his own corn crib and his own smoke houses.
WLAcIcCfcr you llLu Tie 1dIHl6I WIG supplies Ills
own table there you Will find the farmer who Is pro-
vding his own farm relief. Cotton has been a south
ern staple. In fat years bumper crops have been
produced and vast SURPRISES have been piled UP.
American mills take eight or nine million bales
of cotton. When a crop Of 100000 bales is pro-
duce a large surplus Of wheat. There are 80 wheat
bales under foreign flags.
It is the same with wheat. American growers pro-
duoe a large surplus of wheat. There are 80 wheat
growing countries. All the surplus wheat Of the
80 countries is tosser on foreign bargain counters.
There Is a very tough job ahead Of the president
to provide farm relief that will be real relief and
he knows It.

Where the Livestock Man Stands

Texans who are engaged in the livestock industry,
that Is those who affiliate with the Texas Cattle
Raisers' association, voted for the coming Of Mexi-
cans without drastic restriction.
They asked for appropriations from congress and
the state legislature for the protection of their herds.
They asked for the national lawmakers to place
heavy tariff duties on foreign hides-both dry and
green.
Texas cattlemen know what they want. They
have congressional representatives who speak for
their constituents. Claude T. Hudspeth is close 10
the republican tariff makers. He is a protectionist
when it comes to the livestock industry, including
wool, mohair and hides.
There Is going to be IN interesting battle al along
the line when the tariff makers begin their work in
the city Of Washington on April IS.
President Hoover has called for a limited tariff
revision" wi. this cover the hides and wool and
mohair and meat stuffs?

more astonishing things to stare at,
and that his attitude of static be-
wilderment would be frequently
repeated.
It was his fat, blue-eyed COM
panion who on this occasion POM
meled him out Of his statuesque-
ness. Brown suddenly found him
self making for a lamp post that
was conveniently refusing to func-
ton. It formed a dark sanctuary
amid the fitful platform lights, a
black oasis from which one could
watch unmatched. But exactly
how Brown was travelling thither
he did not know, until he was
brought to a standstill by rather
abrupt contact with the lamp post.
Then he realized that he had been
unceremoniously propelled from be-
hind and that his motive power
had been the rotund Charlie.
"w-what-7" stammered Brown.
But Charlie put q warning finger
to his lips.

would probably fall down on the

these tragic possibilities have now

High Cotton Rates Overruled

An order has been handed down by the interstate
commerce commission overriding an effort on the
part Of railroad companies operating out Of Texas
and Oklahoma TO boost the freight rates on cotton
fabrics and other cotton mill products from points
throughout Texas and Oklahoma to destinations in
every corner of the country"
This was the story carried on the wires by the
Associated Press as well as Washington correspon-
dents representing newspapers IN the southern cotton
belt: There Is said to be 100000 bales Of cotton in
storage in the United States and this in the face
of heavy increase in consumption by American mills
and nillers. This is cotton planting time. What will
the total yield be in the states given over to cotton
culture?

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUNnIER

WASHINGTON, April at will soon be cherry
blossom time in Washington.
And cherry blossoms mean only one thing in the
capital city Of the United States-spring One has
never known Washington in all Of its fulness until
one has seen it in the spring time. It is then that
some three miles Of the japanese cherry trees. sym
ools Of happiness or the sektra spirit Of Japan. are
in bloom along the speedway and around the Tidal
basin.
People come from near and far to get q glimpse
Of them. Artists set their easels under the blooming
trees trying to put on canvas the reality of the bios
SONS. Girls glad in oriental costumes walk along the
sea wall. holding over them japanese sunshades.
Gift Of japanese
The Washington cherry blossoms date back to
the time that Mrs. William Howard Taft was first
lady Of the land. She had seen them in the east, and
had had a number Of the trees planted here.
Then DR.. Jokichi Takanine, a noted chemist Of
Japan. came to Washington on a visit. Hhe was de-
lighted to learn Of the interest taken in his cour-
try's cherry blossoms.
Through DR.. Takamine a gift Of 1000 trees was
sent to Washington in 1909. The trees arrived, but
were condemned as infected, and were burned. But
Dr.. TakaInine was not to be discouraged. He resumed
his efforts and 5000 more trees were given BY the city
OF Toxic in 1911. From these grew the bower Of
blooms that are to be seen now.
The cherry blossoms are in numerous shades.
First, there are the almost white and the delicate
%lavenders and pinks, yellow. cerise-and two weeks
later come the double rose pink blossoms-the ulti-
mate Of japanese cherry blossoms. There are at least
a dozen species Of the blossoms, varying IN shape
size. color and time Of Towering. They bloom, In
turn, about six weeks from their first appearance
making a continuous succession Of blooms.
The trees have no fruit. Some say that they are
really a kind Of plum and their botanical name is
"prunus pseudo cerasus."

Last spring the former japanese ambassador and
Madame Matsudaira and their family were pictured
often under the beautiful trees. Miss Setsu Matsu-
daira was especially the object Of the camera because
Of her engagement to the young Prince Chichibu OF
Japan, whom she married last summer.
This year, no doubt, the new ambassador from
Japan, Katsuii Debucf1i and Madame Debuchi, with
their son and daughter will be pictured under the
trees from their own country.
The japanese poet compares the cherry blossoms
TO life:
Life is short,
Like the three days glory
OF the cherry blossoms.

Brown did not reply. It was
pleasant, in a way, to be in con-
tact with a personality totally de-
void Of fear. 1t was-steadying.
Yes, Brown had to admit that. But
he admitted it grudgingly, and was
quite unable himself to regard the
position effectively. There might
be humcr in the situation to Char
lie. To Brown there "a none. It
was a grim. CHASTITY business, yet
with a faint melody of music run
ming through it that made II
strangely worth while.
II wish we could find out
what's happening" ne muttered,
after a pause.
Well know soon enough" re-
piled Charlie. "Of course, you can
go into the thick Of it again. If
you want, but I'd wait just a jiffy,
if I we're you. Captain Rupert's
pretty good stuff, when anything's
got to be done-he won't miss any
thing"
Il dessay you're right" agreed
Brown.
From where they we're, they could
merely see a knot Of people, shift
ing this way and that, on the plat
form outside the compartment in
which the insensible man lay. Fig
ures fitted to and fro. Voices
droned vaguely and vordlessly.
The situation was tantalizingly OBJ
scure. 1t was tantalizing not only
to Brown, but to Charlie, who, In
spite of his levity, found himself
more and nor interested in the
adventure, and more and more
annoyed with Rupert for having
showed him temporarily out Of 1t.
He was seriously thinking OF re-
turning to the center of interest
when something happened right
under his nose. He had turned to
Brown, to suggest a cautious ad-
vance. and he found that Browns
eyes were becoming glazed again.
STEADY! What's up now?" de-
manded Charley, rather sharply.
He didn't like the look of
Brown. Having no subtlety, he
read nothing in Browns eyes be-
yOnd a new crisis.
My God!" gulped Brown.
And vanished.
Charlie swore softly under his
breath. He was in a quandary.
Should he chase Brown, or should
he go back to Rupert, Or should
he remain where he was, like the
boy upon the burning deck?
Brown had vanished in the o.
rection of the station exit. He ap-
peared either to have run after

Surgeons who practice their procession in fine hospitals and with the latest scientific equipment at their disposal will be interested in the life and work of Dr. A. w. Newhall, pioneer Alaska physician, whose death is announced from Point Barrow. He was the only doctor at that most northern outpost of Alaska and in all spent thirty years in the Northland.
 It is conceivable that physician so long out of touch with his professional brethren would have lit tie knowledge of the progress made in surgery and medicine during recent years. None of the great teachers and clincians of the country could impart their knowledge to him except through books He could not visit the medical centerS of the country to refresh his knowledge or to improve his skill. Yet with all these handicaps Dr. Newhal performed an exceptional service If his surgery rough, so the country in which he lived He was com- pelled to make the best of hard conditions and of scant supplies. Undoubtedly hundreds of natives in isolated settlements have sound to bless his memory.
 Some statistican has estimated that about seven ty-fve per cent. of the persons who fall sick will survive without professional attention that the real battle-ground of the physician lies within the remaining twenty five per cent. Through the inn provement of hospitals and of medical and nursing service the period of conaescence has been reduced materially And certainly a greater percentage of the sick who ordinarily would have gone to death have been brought back to robust health
 The probabilities are many that Dr. Newhall, with his great fund of practical information made as good record his fellow practitioners in the populous centers. Whether he aided by the hardy constitutions of his patients cannot be said, but at all events he did we'll He will be missed in the North

exactly the case The weather in the Interior and nection with cold waves as that in wide belt of territory to the East because mountain ranges ln Alaska tend to shut off some of the cold currents that pass from the Arctic Ocean down the Mo Kenzie River Valley and the British Northwest. Cold waves or "outbursts of polar air" originate some where in the Arctic Ocean beyond the limits of Alaska and the continent of North America When there is high barometric pressure in this region and belt of low pressure further down the continent, perhaps crossing the middle part of the United States from the Pacific Ocean, cold air tends to rush southward and we have cold wave.
 Heretofore there have been but few places in the Far North sending weather reports to this country so that very little advance notice was re- ceved of an approaching cold The radio has made it possible to communicate from additional stations to the east of Alaska, and get data from Fort Simpson in the Mckenzie Valley, from Cambridge Bay, Coronation Gulf, 30 degrees east of Aklavk, and finally from Point Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost station of all. In forecasting the movement of approaching "outbursts of polar air" which may affect the United States, the reports from these scattered stations by of their geographic position in the extreme northern frontier are often of more importance than those from in teror points in Alaska. It may happen that places
 in Alaska may be enjoying comparatively mild tenn peratures while extremely cold may be on
