Here is the latest pair of
twins to join the famous Wash
ington Times Adventure Club.
They are Sylvia and Merriam
Sander, Al K st. N. W., and
we think they are very cute.
They are 9 years old and
enthusiastic readers Of the
club column. They write:
1--WE enjoy your club very
much and would like to see it
grow and grow"
One sure way of making the
club grow and grow" is to
join. And when you are twins
it is just that much better.

EXPERT CALLS
HEARST POLL
BEST KEY

NEW YORK, Nov. % U.S).
The Hearst presidential poll pre-
dicted most accurately Of all polls
the shift of voters from their 1928
allegiance to that of 1892, accord.
ing to Claude E. Robinson, who
recently made an exhaustive study
OF the straw vote under auspices
Of the Columbia University Coun.
Gil for Research in the Social
Sciences.
Robinson is author Of STRAW
Votes, a Study of Political Predic-
tion."
In his analysis in the current is
sue Of the New Republic, Robinson
points out that las early as mid
August the Hearst newspapers
were reporting a political cyclone
IN the offing and in later weeks
tniS warning was repeated by the
Literary Digest and other publica-
tions." He says:
The Hearst poll, which was
q mail canvass of telephone
owners, was slightly les accurate
than that of the Literary
Digest, scoring an average State
plurality error of 10 per cent
as opposed to Z per cent for
Its national competitor.
However, if the computations
be made Oh the basis of shift of
voters from 1928 to 1882, which
ON account of the known
Republican bias of the teIe-
phone and automobile mailing
lists is probably the more
defenSible method Of interpre-
tatiOn, the Hearst poll, with an
average State plurality error of
4 per cent, as against per
cent for the Digest, becomes
the more accurate of the twO."-
Robinson also recalls that:
-Four years ago the He 'rSt
chain scored an average s. tie
plurality error Of per cent,
which was uD to thai time and
still is the best performance
for any nationwide poll with
out the benefit of special in
depreciation"

after he was voted into membership,
DR.. Edmond O'Neill, emeritus pro
fessor Of chemistry at the Univer-
sity Of California, was initiated into

of leaves and color, the develop
ment of aroma, and the avoidance
of dust or mold. There are two
general principles which must be
understood and followed if first
class hay is to be made. These
two factors are: "a that alfalfa
should be cured slowly and as far
as possible in the shade, and (2)
that the quality of alfalfa is easily
injured after curing has begun by
undue exposure either to sunshine
or to rain. The hay should be left
in the swath only long enough to
wilt and then it should be put in
a window and allowed to finish
curing. Some farmers prefer to
go even further and put it in cocks.
Curing in windows or cock means
that the hay cures slower, preserv-
ing the color and leaves, and the
aroma is given chance to develop
Alfalfa hay should be ready to
house in from three to six days af-
ter cutting. Leaving it in the field
until it becomes very brittle will
cause an excessive loss of leaves
and increases the possibility of
rain damage.

CUTTING AND
CURING ALFALFA
Report Submitted by c. E.
Phillips, Assistan t Agron-
omist, Experiment Station
3 PRINCIPAL OBJECTS

The high feeding value of gooC
alfalfa hay is widely known. In
order to have this high feeding
value the alfalfa must be cut al
the right time and properly cured
Hay of poor quality may, and too
often does, result from improper
methods of harvest Untimely cut
ting, unwise curing, or exposure
either to wind or rain may lessen
the feeding value of the crop to an
extent seldom realized. 1t is pos
sible to handle alfalfa hay in such
a manner that all the feed value is
retained and to have the hay come
out of the barn or stack almost as
green as when growing in the field.
Properly cured hay develops an
aroma that causes animals, espec-
tally milch cows, to devour it eag-
erly. Great as is the variation in
quality of hay, the difference in
methods of handling or in the labor
required is usually small so slight
as to be inconsiderable. When the
acreage grown is not large, the diff
ference in labor requirements is
frequently in favor of the properly
cured hay. The most important
consideration in cutting alfalfa for
hay is to do it at the proper time.
A number of tests have been made
in regard to the stage of growth
at which it is best to cut. These
tests show that for general purpos-
es it is advisable to cut alfalfa
shortly after it starts to bloom.
Hay that is cut before the bloom
ing stage is apt to be somewhat
bitter and will not develop the
proper aroma. Early cutting will
also seriously injure the stand if
continued for several years. In
curing alfalfa for hay, three prin-
cipal objects must always be kept
in mind: ~ the reduction of mois-
ture to such a degree that it is
safe to put in the barn, % the de-
velopment and preservation Of
aroma, and 49, the avoidance of
waste due to loss of leaves and to
injury to the quality Of the hay by
undue teaching, bleaching, or ex-
posure to excessive or repeated
rains. The method of curing has
much to do with the preservation

Famous English Bridge
Is Auctioned Each Year

BOroughbridge, England. = The
rights of the last remaining toll
bridge in Somerset have been sold
by auction, at a record price, while
sand was running through an hour
glass.
This quaint auction occurs every
year and the highest bidder holds
the right, for one year, Of leyying
tolls on all vehicles crossing the
bridge spanning the River Parrett,
at Boroughbridge, on the main road
between Taunton and Glastonbury.
The bridge was built in 1921 and
is close to the spot where King AL
fred is said to have burned the cakes
in the shepherds hut. The auction
is conducted under special act of
parliament passed when the bridge
was built. The rights include the
use Of a pretty UNCOVERED cottage
for the toll-keeper. When the auc-
tion begins, a sand glass is set work
ing and the highest bidder, when
the sand has run through the glass
three times, becomes the owner Of
the bridge, the toll gate and the
cottage for one year.
The annual increase in the num-
Der of motor vehicles using the
bridge has served to boost the bid
ding at the last few auctions, and
the successful bidder at the recent
sale, Charles Miller, farmer, paid
the record price for the rights. This
was $1,10O more than the price last
year.

by no means rich, Mr. BRAND ar
ranged to give his friend a new
start for the sake of the woman
they had both loved, but his efforts
were unavailing, and after a brief
career as an official in the colonial
office in France and Africa, the man
fell again, dragging his wife down
with him.
Both disappeared, and when they
were traced again the man was at
the point of death and the woman
was a wreck of her former self.
Again Offers Marriage.
When the husband had been in
the grave year BRAND offered mar
riage, but perhaps because she had
made in rejecting him in the first
instance, she stoutly refused his
offer, saying that she had no right
TO burden him with a woman with
past who was an ugly shadow Of
her former self and was represen-
tative of naught but wasted life.
In any case, she said, her own
death could not be far off, and in
fact she died about two years after
wards.
She was buried in an unmarked
grave in the little cemetery of Co
cherel, where the remains of Bri-
and now rest.
Each year, on the anniversary Of
the woman's death, NJ. BRAND made
a point of journeying to Cocherel
to lay flowers on the unknown grave
and not even the most important
political engagements could induce
him to omit this tribute to the dead
woman he had loved with such OBJ
stinacy for nearly half century.
Now, through death, they are at
rest, not far from each other.

SECRET OF BRANDS
LOVE is REVEALED
Premier Lived a Bachelor
After Romance Failed.

Paris.-The secret of why Aris-
tide BRAND, eleven times premier of
France, a lover of children, re-
mained a confirmed bachelor until
his death a few days ago has been
solved by the story of an unhappy
love affair now being told for the
first time.
The attitude of the great orat )r
and statesman toward marriage
dates to the early days when he
was a struggling law student.
In his native Nantes was a Bret
on maiden who received the hon.
age of all the young men Of the
best families, but this girl, Jeanne
hernandez. by name, was ambitious
and had declared that she would
only listen to the wooing of a man
with a brilliant future.
She Refused BRAND.
She refused to entertain the i'm
pecuniOus BRAND of humble origin.
and cast in her lot with a young
man of his own age, one of his
friends, a member of a well known
family and a brilliant star of local
debating societies for whom a great
future was predicted.
Twenty years later the man Of
brilliance had emerged from prison
after serving sentence for fraud,
and he and his ambitious wife were
reduced to the direst straits, living
in a miserable attic in the most
squalid section of Paris.
At the time Aristide BRAND, who
had up TO then devoted himself to
the law and journalism, was just
coming into his own as a politician,
and his dazzling eloquence earned
for him the admiration of women
OF wealth and position who would
gladly have linked their fortunes
with the coming man, but BRAND re-
mained faithful to his first love, and
cherished the hope that one day
they would be reunited.
