WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page II

ing ridicule on the stocky Ohioan. it
is written on the wall of party coun-
ellis that Fess will step down from
directing the party after the nominal
ing convention in June.
One of the choice spots for economy
is never considered by Congress. They
refuse to save on words and deluge
the country with "a mist of words
like halos around the moon, make the
light less" The government depart
ments share the responsibility in their
propaganda. The annual report of the
Public Printer this week shows that
in the last ten years the total waste
of publications amounted to %, 899. 839
copies, which cost the government
more than million dollars. The
sale of documents is negligible. A
few years ago ''the Senate and House
folding rooms sold as waste paper ap-
proximately 100000 publications that
had never been removed from their
wrappers" The Public Printer says
there are undoubtedly tons of other
useless publications now stored in and
about the Capitol
An interesting side-lght on the
great public demand" for the Con-
gressional Record is revealed in the
Public Printers report. Out of total
daily circulation of $4,000, there are
only 636 paid subscribers to this pal
ladium of official Information. In
other words, more than 50 per cent of
the readers of the Congressional Rec
ord are what is popularity known as
"dead-headS" or recipients of a gift.
The daily edition when Congress was
in session in 1881 averaged 10S pages
which is marked increase from 9TH
err sessions when the average was 83
pages. This data proves that Congress
is becoming more talkative. The
truth is that ''abOut Cne-third of the
Record was devoted to matter other
than the actual proceedings and de-
bates in Congress- The legislators
loaded up the pages with speeches,
written but not spoken, and with a
conglomeration of letters and clip
pings.

League of America, and editor of the
official organ of that group, Sanger
hilsen." has been decorated with the
knighthood cross of the st. Olaf order
by the king of Norway. Mr.. Hamann
who has made his home in Mime
polls for more than a quarter of a
century, is, as far as known, the first
native of Denmark in the United
States to be thus honored by the King
of Norway. But then-His Majesty
is himself Dane by birth! On Feb
ruary 6, Norwegian singing societies
of the Twin Cities will give ban
quet in the Elks Club, Minneapolis,
in honor of Mr.. Hamann. He was
born in Copenhagen in 1866 and
learned the printing trade there be-
fore he went to Canada in 1887. and
later to the United States.
Silver Fox Industry.
A few years ago hundreds of farm
ers in Norway began to import silver
foxes from the United States and
Canada, and an industry of very re-
spectacle dimensions developed as a
result. Until short time ago fox
farms dotted many parts of Norway,
and most of them had been originally
stocked with American animals.
Most recent information is to the
effect that the importation Of foxes
from this country has practically
stopped, partly as a result of the de-
probation of the Norwegian ex-
change, and partly because a good
many of the fox farmers have had
to leave their property in the hands
of receivers.

day to attend the annual Minnesota

The d. B. S. special social and pro-
gram scheduled for Saturday evening,
Jan. 80, gives promise of being some
thing out of the ordinary. The COM
mittee advises that you should be
there early to see the program as it
does not last very long. Ladies are
requested to bring cake or sandwiches
for the lunch which will be served.
The evening will terminate with
dancing. Everyone is cordially in
yited to come in and see the program
it is free, and also partake in the
ming.
Many have commented favorably on
the good reception here of the Sean
dinavian program broadcast from CO.
penhagen, Denmark, over the Column
bia network Sunday forenoon. In spite
of the noise that invariably accompan-
les programs from abroad it was quite
easy to understand what was said
as we'll as to hear the chimes and
singing. A slight error was made in
a news item in last weeks paper stat
ing that the entire program would
last only 10 minutes. The entire pro-
gram for each" of the three Scan
dinavian countries was scheduled to
last only Is minutes, and did.
AS the years have rolled by there
has gradually been discovered new
talent in the Askov communicate
lists, authors, poets. ETC.. ETC., but the
latest, and first in that particular line
is a stone sculptor. Last week Sven
Nielsen, on the former H. r. Buck
farm, brought in and put on display
in the post office lobby very we'll
made head of a man, which he has
made this winter with an ordinary
chisel and hammer out of a sandstone
that he secured down by Kettle River.
A great many people have viewed this
piece of workmanship and unanimous
ly agree that it is very good work.
The d. B. S. stump day, Monday,
was perhaps the biggest and best that
tie organization has ever had. Julius
Frahs had donated four large piles
of stumps which were conveniently
located in the southern part of the
village, and with four men hauling
and three extras to help load, the
entire bunch was transferred to the
ID. B. S. hall where crew of 20 men
were kept busy splitting, saving and
piling the finished product in the
basement, and it is surely some pile.
The entire crew had dinner at Mrs.
v. Heininge's home and also coffee
and lunch there in the afternoon. So
many stumps came in that they could
not be finished in one day, so the
job was continued the following after
noon and terminated at about 3 o'clock
with coffee.

scented at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, and at that hour
part of it will be broadcast via radio
by the National Broadcasting COM
pany's network. Lauritz Melchoir, in
ternationally famous Danish tenor,
just back from new European tri-
umphs, will sing the part of Siegmund,
and this will be, it is believed, the
first time his voice has been heard
over the radio in this country.
TO Be Continued.
Three years ago numerous COM
plants were received in Oslo to the
effect that hundreds of letters mailed
from the United States to Norway
disappeared in transit. The postal
service of that country established a
special checking system for Amer
lean mail, and it is now reported
that no letters have disappeared
since. In some of the principal cities
of Norway the special control has
been abandoned, but it has been de-
cided to retain it in Oslo, Bergen and
Trondheim, even though it is a pretty
costly affair.

Danes I'm World War.
On the basis of official statistical
figures obtained by Danish consular
agencies through the war depart
ment of the United States, Roger Mel
sen, former press attache of the Dan
ish legation in Washington, an
nounces that about 10000 soldiers
born in Denmark or in the United
States of Danish parentage, took
part in the world war under the
American flag. Among three million
veterans who until May 1, 1928, had ap-
piled for pensions, 1904 were natives
of Denmark, and since then the num-
Der has increased considerably. The
exact number of soldiers who were
born here of Danish parents is not
known as no such classification was
made by the war department, but
figures available at this time indicate
that there were 10000 and that II 900
were natives of Denmark.
