Col. Dow has been attending Re-
publican National Conventions on and
off for more than a half century. He
went to his first one in Chicago in
1880 as a delegate He waited until
1916 for his next one, but was present
at Kansas City in 1928 and again in
Chicago this year.
He is the son Of Gen. Neal Dow, a
pioneer in the temperance movement
in Maine, and sometimes called the
Father Of Prohibition" Maine has
had temperance laws dating back as
far as 1846.
Proud of the fact that he has never
sought public Office or favors of any
kind, he is regarded as a real political
force in his home State
Even in his own delegation to the
convention, Col Dow found that he
was pretty much alone. He was one
of the two uncompromising drys out
of Names 13 delegates at Chicago.
The others were either for resubmis-
sion or determined to stand by Presi-
dent Hoover in whatever stand he took.
I'll cast my vote for the dryest
thing proposed" he told his delegation,
and If I don't think it's dry enough,
won't vote at ALL

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER..

Kansas City in 1923, he was selected
to arise on the floor Of the convention
and table the prohibition plank offered
by DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler OF
Columbia University. He thinks 1t is
one of the best things he ever did,
wishes that he could do the same thing
once more.
Small of stature, his face lined with
the wrinkles Of his years, he neyerthe-
less is as active as the youngest and
takes a keen interest in all that goes
on around him.
Convention photographers were
anxious TO get him to pose with Miss
Nedra Wilhelm, 81, the youngest dele
gate at Chicago. He didn't like the
idea so much at first, but finally con-
sented.
Maybe she'll give me some good ad-
vice." he said, as he faced the battery

CHERRY TREE should certainly

A CHERRY TREE should certainly
~ be conspicuous in the wash
"A ington anniversary quilt, which
4 y is developed for readers of this
paper. You will remember that
the washington pavement was given
last week, and if you have squares of
this design already made you have a
historic start.
The cherry tree design is an entirely
new quilt pattern. 1t is a convention
allied design, worthy of the old-time
Quilt makers, who set so high stand
ard for future generations of textile
craftsWomen. In a later design the
hatchet so dramatically associated with
Washington and the cherry tree will
be brought out, but first the cherry tree
must be ready for the hatchet. SO here
1t is:
This quaint cherry tree is as tempt
ing to a quilt makers scissors as was
the original cherry tree to little George
Washington's hatchet. Quilt makers
do their cutting to prepare for the
fashioning of the tree and the telling
of it. They will need textiles of four
colors to cut-red for the parts which
represent cherries, green for those
which give the foliage effect and the
triangle of green grass, brown for the
tree trunk and branches, and blue for
the BACKGROUND sky around the tree
and between branches. Or the back
ground can be white instead of blue If
one prefers. pleasing effect is to
have alternate squares, one with blue
and the other with a white background.
This is particularly good when an en-
tire quilt is made of the cherry tree
squares, for a border either of the blue
or white can be used, or both in COM
bination
The Washington anniversary quilt

son. Their gas attacks are reaching
and the air will reek with the odor. The
hunter will flee and leave the woods
to the bomber.
The weasel turns white in the Winter,
all but the tip of his tail. Racing
about on the snow, his enemies see
only the black tip. Owls, hawks and
foxes seek these murderers and make
short work Of them. When the weasel
is most plentiful, there is a scarcity
of rats, mice and rabbits, and the un-
gallant males kill of the abundance
of female weasels.
1t is this species that gives to us the
famous ermine. Trappers realize they
yield a handsome return, and so the
number of weaselS is gradually being
lessened Rats and mice are most
destructive around the barns and
house So to the weasel we must give
thanks for the vast number of rodents
killed by him.

%HEY are an unlovely lot, with
murder in their hearts and gas
bombs for defense They travel
i unmolested. alone and un-
afraid. Weasels have been
known to slaughter as many as 90
chickens in one night. They do their
work quickly. sucking the blood from
a victim and tossing the body aside,
before you are aware of their deed.
They are sinister and evil creatures,
with a wiry, slender body, and capable
of leaping 10 feet. The strange, fiat
head, with its sharp nose, glittering
green eyes and cruel teeth, remind you
of a serpent as 1t moves its head from
side to side. Great masses Of muscles
move the strong Jaws. The vein OF the
victim is opened and the blood is sucked
from it. The brain is eaten next and,
If still hungry, the weasel eats the flesh.
They are fearless. and two of them
cannot occupy the same hunting
grounds. One falls victim TO the others
thirst. With a sharp nose lifted to
catch the scent on the air, the low fore
head and fierce look from those beady
eyes. you can imagine the fear that Is
aroused in their prey. They are clever
dodgers and hiders.
When angry, they growl, snarl and
give shriu barks If moleSted by man
when they are feasting, they turn
upon him. They do not hesitate at
tacking larger animals and show great
courage when being wounded.
Not much is known about their family
life Here is q fine chance for young
naturalist. 1t is believed that they
prefer the abandoned home of the
woodchuck and ground squirrel. There
are six babies, that are blind until they
are 10 days old The mother stays
with them until she feels they are
able to change from a milk diet to one
of warm blood From then on the little
bloodsuckers fend for themselves.
In spite of the fact that they are
clever hunters, they store much food
Chickens, rats, mice and rabbits are
killed and placed under the snow. Their

Nearly $50 Persons Dead;

Scores of tragedies marred the

brought a mounting toll Of death

that number injured.
Spectacular catastrophes we're
numerous. A street car in Louis

rounding a curve and plunged its
heavy load of passengers through
the front window of drug store.
Twelve were hurt in the accident,
one fatally.
Automobiles. as usual, lead in the
number Of fatalities. Drowning ac-
cidents accounted for the second
largest toll. Airplane accidents were
few.
Generally cool weather reduced
the number of deaths somewhat
with no heat fatalities reported
Fewer motorists took excursions and
it was estimated fewer died in auto
accidents than in several years.
Unusual deaths reported included
an Alabama boy who walked into
a river in his sleep and was
drowned. a New Jersey baseball
spectator killed by batted ball and
a Pennsylvania who committed
suicide by blowing of his head with
