SUZY. BY Herbert German. New
York: Farrar & Rinehart.
CUSAN DILLWORTHY was Ameri-
- can-born. Her name would indi-
cate New England. She first appears
in this story In London in June Of
1914 as the niece Of Mrs. Napp, and
1t almost Immediately becomes evident
that she is not going to be one Of
those happy women who have no his
tory. During the World War she
evolves into the vedette Suzy in Paris
and before she has finished her career
rivals the famous Ninon de LEnclos
and Julie de Lespinasse. She first
dances In a Left Bank cafe, but from
that beginning her sphere Of influence
extends until 1t reaches diplomats,
military officials, Saristocrats, politi-
clans, even Socialists. When she really
falls in love she selects an aristocrat,
Charles dee, son Of the baron In
Jonathan Bishop" and marries him.
Her second husband Is the Due de
Miraumont. "Suzy looked ravishtng
in her wedding robes. The long veil
flowed about her face and down her
slender back like a filmy waterfall and
in it glistened the sewn pearls like
tranced globules Of crystal liquid
One had to look intently before one
made out the tiny lines Of grimness
about the mouth and eyes, the patient
acceptance Of the fatality, the knowl-
edge of the world lost yet remaining
like withered apple in the hand, the
acceptance Of things as they were be-
cause there was nothing else to do. /"
Herbert German, whose first success
was in biography, with "The Incredi-
bic Marquis" Dumas) and later "The
Scottish Queen" (Mary Of Scotland) +,
won immediate recognition with his
first novel, Jonathan Bishop" as a
brilliant writer of historical fiction,
with an especial gift for pageantry.
He and Philip Lindsay, author of
London Bridge Is Falling" are the
two novelists Of today who excel in
painting the historical scene with ac-
ton, color and interesting detail. The
research for Jonathan Bishop" a
story of the Franco-Prussian War and
the Paris Commune, undoubtedly left
a residue which Mr.. German has
utilized In "SuZy."

Likewise, 1t is easy for bad records to
be covered up. He says:
1T must be understood that special
interests, monopolies, corporations and
the like are not as a rule interested
so much in the passage of legislation
as they are in preventing legislation
which regulates their activities and
prevents injustice. In order to pre-
vent the passage of legislation, it Is
not necessary to control both the SEN
ate and the House. It is necessary
to control only one body, which may
mean only few leaders or q confer
ence committee. In fact, good legis-
lation is sometimes prevented by the
controlling Of one man, and the
records, good and bad, are hidden
under legislative maneuvering.
Roll Call on Every Bill.
"Under our one-house plan a roll
call will be had upon every bill and
upon every amendment of any i'm
portance. 1t will not require an ex-
pert to determine Just exactly what
the record of any member is. Honest
legislators will like that"
The fact that better pay will be
possible with q smaller Assembly will
attract better personnel, Norris thinks.
The $37, 500 allowed the Nebraska
Legislature, divided among 80 men,
bers, would make an annual salary Of
1850, as against the present salary
of $400, which is comparable to the
pay of legislators in most States. If
the maximum of so members is pro-
vided there will still be an annual
salary Of $3.50.
Which brings us to the third strong
argument the Senator uses in behalf
of his plan: Less cost with greater
efficiency.
"Our present Legislature costs nearly
twice as much In salaries and many
more thousands In clerical and ad-
ministrative costs that will be saved"
he declares. "a smaller group under
responsible leadership and the neces-
sity Of standing upon their own ac-

complishments viii inevitably result
In more efficient legislative action"
Selection Of members upon a nom
partisan ballot will give serious pause
to political leaders in other States
contemplating one-house Legislatures.
1t disturbed the Nebraska party lead
ers greatly, but acceptance of this
feature was doubtless made easier for
the voters because they are accus-
toned to electing the judiciary and
school officials upon that basis.
Judges of all State and county courts
and county and State superintendents
Of schools are all nominated and
elected upon ballots separate from
those Of the party nominees. The
selection of non-partisan legislators
will require only one other such bal
lot. But in other States, unused to
independent political elections, this
hurdle may be hard to get over.
Governor to Consult Norris.
Governor-elect Roy Cochran, under
whose administration the last two
house Legislature viii sit in Nebraska
and who will have to recommend the
number and the establishment Of new
districts for the Assembly, has an
nounced that he will consult Senator
Norris wishes before writing his mes
sage.
And I promised that if they passed
this amendment I'd keep hands of
the matter after that" Norris says.
Out In Lincoln they show you the
beautiful new Capitol Building. cost
ing $4,000, 900 and containing two
luxuriously furnished legislative cham
bers. The art work of the Senate
room portrays some beautiful Indian
symbolism and that Of the House the
symbolism Of the white mans su-
premacy. There is speculation as to
which chamber will be used by the
one-house Assembly. Also as to what
will be done with the other.
An old-fashioned politician at the
Capitol remarks with q sly wink that
the empty chamber will likely be used
as q storeroom for political practices
outlawed by Senator Norris reforms.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-05-18
NEWS FROM CONGRESS
90 By Congressman Hoidale) %

We must carry on campaign Of
education so as to get support for all
possible projects to remedy this threat
that hangs over us like dark cloud.
My boyhood days were spent in the
vicinity of Big Stone Lake and Lac
Qui Parle Lake. I have seen what
happened to these waters and I have
been so impressed with the necessity
for action that I have determined to
help in every way possible such efforts
as our people find it possible to make
in bringing about improved water con-
ditions.
I am impreSSing the necessity for
action upon the officials here at Wash
ington and I urge you at home to join
in arousing public sentiment in favor of
action. Some of our counties suffer
more than others but any county and
the state as a whole is interested in
this situation. When every county gets
active in demanding results, we will get
action.
1t seems to me that the first thing
to do is to have a comprehensive survey
of the whole water situation, not only in
Minnesota, but in the whole Middle
West.

Lenont said. "It has resulted in too
much bruising. We bought chute for
unloading the potatoes. 1t is very in
genious. 1t is made up of removable
canvas sections which stagger the fall
of the potatoes so that storage bruising
Is practically eliminated. If anyone is
interested we will be glad to give him
the name of the maker. The potatoes
are run over grader before being
stored in the basement. We have room
for twelve carloads"
One Of the most important elements
in the production of certified potatoes,
MIR. Lenont said, is the seed. Seed has
been used from Montana, Nebraska and
Minnesota. Minnesota seed has proved
the best. Best of all recently has been
the seed produced and improved on the
home farm. Hill selection should be a
good method, but it is feasible on so
large an operation only as method of
checking for disease The plan on the
Lenont farm is to put in seed plot
each Year from the best of the previous
years crop. All diseased or weak
plants in the seed plot are rogued out,
and mishappen potatoes are culled.
The plan on the farm is to practice
a four-year rotation with grain and
alfalfa between the potato crops. Com
mercial fertilizer is used at the rate of
500 pounds to the acre, the soil being
somewhat sandy.
1--WE think that no region can pro-
duce better Triumph seed, but we fear
the business is coming to be overdone
Nebraska has always been a big pro-
Queer of seed for the South, and in
recent years Montana, North Dakota,
Wisconsin and even Michigan have
come to be important factors in the
market. The past year we have been
confronted with such an intense price
competition from Idaho and Wyoming
that to sell our seed in Alabama it was
necessary to accept prices that were
under even the equivalent of table
stock in Chicago"
Plans of the farm for the coming
year call for reducing the certified
acreage, MFR. Lenont said, and increasing
the acreage devoted to raising white
stock for table use.

AirpIane Fire Patrol
To Be Used This Season

Airplane fire patrol viii be used this
season for the National forests in
Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin to
locate smoke" when Instability from the
lookout towers is poor, according to
Regional Forester E. w. Tinker.
Contracts have been awarded to COM
mercial aviation service companies in
Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri and Min
nesota. The Scenic Anyways of this
city has the contract for this section
of the state All planes and pilots must
be licensed under the U. s. Department
OF Commerce for carrying passengers
and pilots have to have a minimum ex-
perience of 1000 flying hours. Planes
are required to have engines of at least
200 horsepower, carrying capacity
of not less than 500 pounds in adj
dition to the pilot, equipment including
a parachute for each passenger and
fuel capacity for minimum of four
hours cruising.
"Airplanes are used in this region to
locate fires and also to transport men
and equipment to them" said Mr..
Tinker. when the air is very hazy and
particularly when it is full of smoke,
the lookouts can see only a very limited
area around the towers, and then the
aiplane scouts must be sent out"
Sometimes lightning storms occur
followed by little or no rain and start
number of fires at the same time.
This is known as "dry" lightning
when it happens without rain according
to E. S. Pierce, assistant regional
forester in charge of fire protection, and
is the most dangerous type.
