Wash h.ngton-Speaker John N.
 Garner, who now has almost enough gift gavels to supply all the state legislatures, bangs as loudly as any speaker in recent decades when the. need arises, &C., cording to experts on gavel-bang- ing.
 Gift gavels usually receive a tryout, but Garner customarily uses an issue" gavel, done in dark wood, from the house car penter shop. And his blows are mere taps with the hflt unless there is unusual disorder. The late Nick Longworth used
 an effective -li@ht tap.
 Pcrils of the Gavcl
 Gavels are seldom broken, de- spite the legend that Garner broke three early this session. Occasion ally they crack. Ramseyer of Iowa once broke one when he was in the ! chair but house attaches can't cas- fly recall another occasion. Tragedy threatened once when the late Martin Madden of Hi nois swung a gavel to call time on Ogden Mills, now secretary of the treasury. who had the floor. Madden, a loud banger when ever he held the chair. lifted the weapon high and as it began to descend the head flew off and | whizzed within a few inches of | Mills ear. The gavel head land ed harmlessly in the aisle, but the house carpenter shop has since used spikes to keep the two pieces of wood together.
 How Drunks Arc Handled Every week the Capitol police grab two or three inebriatcd citi- :; zeris who enter the sacred pre- cincts under that mighty dome, with or without the idea of start | ing something. Alcohol. it appears, often makes a citizen burn with some issue or other which he must have out with one or more mem- bers of congress. Recently a set of Capitol police rules, framed, was set up at one entrance of the huge rotunda, including this: Any drunken or otherwise dis orderly person shall be removed | to the guard room until he can be sent to the police station, unless | in the discretion of the captain or lieutenant on duty 1t. is considered better to remove the person so offending from. the building and
 set him free outside the Capitol grounds"
 Most visiting trunks are simply !, led away and turned loose. Cranks Numerous
 Few sessions have attracted so many cranks, nearly all of the harmless varieties. Members have developed a technique of avoidance and escape which is usually effec- tive.
 But Senator Couzens of Michi- gan and Senator Barbour of New more recently with gent who had Jersey each spent half an hour or promised to tell them all about the Lindbergh baby mystery and failed to make good.
 Long years ago it was crime to imagine the kings death" and people were executed for 1t, but in l the Capitol rotunda heard an Of ficial guide telling group of tour | ists the other day:
 If President Hoover dies In office. his body will lie right here
 on this spot.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Dare Not Try II Ou The DOctOr
 Akron physician writes to paper to protest aga4nst my Oft-rcpcatcd assertion that unbrOk- en skin cannot absorb any food, nutrient, li- quid, gas, medicine, poison. He cites mercury, lead, bengol and nitr9- benzol compounds used in shoe dye He asks whether the reliability of my teachings should not be careful fnvesti- gated before permitting me to give the public information or advice about medical or health matters.
 Answer -- Neither this Akron physician nor any other physician, health authority or med ical authority dares to put the matter to a test, using my body. my skin, for the purpose, in private or before, a proper conmitte of medical society members. repeat that the old time medical authorities who imagined such poisons were absorbed through the skin were in error. There Is not one iota of actual scientific experimental evidence to support the old notion. The Denzol or nitro benzoi which poisons persons who have shoes dyed the feet Is INHALED and if inhalation of the volatilized benzol or nitro-b benzol Is carefully prevented. as 1t would be in any experiment I should submit to, of course 1t doesn't matter how much shoe dye or other such poison may be applied to the skin or for how long.

The proposed eastern link of the Pan American highway is being urged. If it was ever built. it would be possible for a motor ist to go from the northernmost end~of Can ada to the southermost tip of South Ameri- ca.
