NEA Service Writer


 Washington-Have you ever won dered what became of Senator Rob- bert J. Bulkley, who won such sur prising victory last November with "dripping wet" campaign in sup posedly dry Ohio?
 You can see him on the senate floor, but you can't hear him. Like Dwight Morrow of New Jersey. he has been keeping quiet during his first couple of months here. Any one who expected some hot speech es from 0ulkley in favor of repeal ing the 18th amendment can con- sider himself disappointed. There haven't been any Bulkley speeches at all.
 "The issue is being kept before the country,' he explained when asked why he wasn't making wet speeches. But we can't really do much here yet. We must elect some more fellows who run on sound platforms for repeal. You see, we're still a minority" t-..r
 On Banking Committed.
 The democratic senator for Ohio. meanwhile, has been active on an issue which he considers at least equally important and on which he qualities as an expert. A member ct the senate banking and currency committee, he is serving on the Glass subcommittee which is :n- vestigating :he national banking laws. While serving in the house -1911 to 1915-Bulkley helped write the Federal Reserve act and his examination of witnesses has demonstrated his broad knowledge of the subject. Discussing the in- vestigation. Bulkley indicated why he considered the work of more moment than wet speeches at time when the vets are virtually power- less.
 There's nothing more important" he declared, "because the whole question of national prosperity IS directly involved. We are trying to find out why 5000 banks have failed in the last 10 years. We are going into the causes of the Wall street crash. We are examining the opera tions of the Federal Reserve system and the comptroller of the currency. We want to know what changes should bs made in the law and I think we can find some valuable remedies.
 Makes Many Friends. Bulkley has been making many friends. Although he is million | aire, he is the type of man who does. Both conservatives and pro- | gressives on the republican side of the aisle speak well of him. He desses plainly. sometimes almost slouchily, and talks genially and frankly to everyone. He has a chauffeur, but drives his own car, as he did when campaigning in | Ohio last fali. He lives in large house on lower 18th street with Mrs | Bulkley and 12-year-old daughter, Katherine. The Bulkleys are popu- lar in Washington society. The sen- ator enjoys music; in Cleveland he was one of the sponsors of the Metropolitan Opera seasons. He is cn three senate committees. Those besides banking and cu.\ency are manufacturers and privileges aud elections. Both are important, the latter especially when there's ques- tion about senator's right to a seat Speaking again of Bulkley and prohibiticn-the issue which frs; brought him before the country in a big way Bulkley is one of that esoteric group which read the Wick ersham report all the way through And one who thought there were many sensible things" in the re- port. but trat the conclusions and recommendations looked. silly when

TO-DAY'S SELECTED POEM
DISPLAY

(By Questa Morris in the New York Times) When l walked out this beauty dazzled me;
 The bilowed snowdrifts sparkling in the sun, The blue white hardness like polar sea-
 The air as empty if life were done. There where aforetime droned the dusty bee
 Among the lilacs. and the far-off sound Of Summer west-winds in the stirring tree
 Whispered where hid the columbine found. Better the meadows browned with parchng heat. The great clouds rolling up their wisps of
 wool The road-dust rolled by friendly passing feet
 Than Winters pinchbeck diadem set in full And shoddy radiance where the snow lies piled It seems like putting diamonds on child!

GEORGIA DAY


 On February 12, 1773, General James Oglethorpe, member of the English parliament, founded Geor- gia.
 Oglethorpe had petitioned King George II to grant him and his as- sociates charter for tract of land for 21 years, in the southern part of South Carolina. He had three ob- jects in view:
 l. To give the worthy and honest poor of England-especially those confined in debtors prisons-an op- portunity to begin life anew in the new world.
 ?. To furnish refuge to the per- secuted Protestants of southern Flu rope.
 3. To protect the Carolinians against the attacks of the Spaniards of Florida by building up settle ment on the southern frontier.
 The immigrants settled on the Sa- vannah river, from which they named the town Savannah, and named the new colony Georgia, in honor of the king.
 Oglethorpe's landing is celebrated annually as Georgia day in Georgia.

If it wasn't Shakespeare who said it. it should have been, SO we'll give him the credit of the expression - Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. It's one of the truest things ever proclaimed. And we'll wager some 70 wedding guests at an Alcobaca. Por- tugal. nuptial are now admitting it. They were made desperately sick by wine they drank. Investigation proved it poisoned. Further probing showed it had been drugged by tilted sweetie of the bridegroom. All of which proves that young man should allow his former sweethearts to marry before he does.

Houston.-Greate friends hath no man than those who help him when he's down and out. And Samuel Hutching, IS. will vouch for that.
 The youth started out to look for job last summer. He decided to hop a freight. But his feet slipped and his feet were cut off under the rails.
 After three months he was dis charged from the hospital. and told that he would never be able to run or walk and get around wiz. the rest O. his friends without artificial feet.
 The railroad, company gave him $500, and Hutchins put this in the bank. During a recent depression. the bank failed and the youth lost his $500 and his hope of getting the artificial feet.
 Friends, however. have come tc his aid and are taking a collection to get enough together to buy the feet for the boy.

Delaware for the past two weeks
has started yellow jasmine and GRO

flower gardens. Pussy willows also

short time, with spring-like suns,
they will burst forth.
While much cold weather is an
ticipated between now and the last
of April, the winter of 1930-1931 has
been one of the mildest in many
years. Throughout lower Delaware
the snowfall has been very light,
and about three times during the
winter the grounds has heen covered
to depth of more than an inch.
This winter also has been one
with little rainfall. More. rains have
occurred within the past three
weeks than have fallen since
