Now that the boys are talk
ing about adjournment of Con-
greSS, an anonymous poet 1OriteS
the lament of a legislators
"1OidoW" Which is addressed:
ITO A LEGISLATOR"
Husband, dear Husband, come
home to me now,
I'm shifting the OdOr of spring.
You've stayed long enough in
the Capitol there,
You're much safer under my
wing.
"The old horse is paving the
stable like mad.
The colts in a terrible stew.
The small brindle heifer has got
a black calf.
And the cattle are bawIing for
you.
"The voice of your Betsy is call
ing you, dear.
It's nearly time to make soap.
And some of the women are
saying, my love,
I'm giving you much too much
rope.
''They say there is desperate
flirting down there,
With widows and aids not
few.
I haven't been kissed since the
morning you left.
But dearie, how is it with yOu?"
Much has been said of the
gigantic, titanic, stupendous
baseball game that is scheduled
to be played between members
of Congress and the press gal
lerieS at Quantico, Va, next
Saturday.
Some people are predicting
that the game 1DiH be one of
the WonderS of the World 1Uith
exhibitions of strange base rum

they hope, batting.

Three-Minute Journeys
By Temple Manning

After leaving the motor
launch, one StrollS along the
Kalverstraat with its fine shops.
Then, there are promenades
around the Rembrandtplein in
the evening where restaurants
and cafes set out sidewalk addi-
lions when the weather permits.
But weather does not bother the
placid HollanderS who are pre-
pared to dine we'll, no matter
what the weather be. Food is
delicious and plentiful every
where.
RUDDY CHEESE
Well-fed, sleek cattle are every
where in the country. One sees
them in the fields that line the
canal banks. Along the water
ways and in the interior, the
farm lands are rich and the
farm houses imposing. The
cleaning kitchens with white
and Delft blue tiles and bright
copper vessels make striking
picture, a real old world scene.
A typical farming village is
northumberland on some tiny
streams running from the main
canal. Little houses and farms
are set in beautiful, floWer-fllled
gardens and there model diaries
that make ruddy cheeses. It's a
sight to see those red-rinded
Dutch cheeses all piled up, await
ing shipment. A splendid model
dairy farm is one of the special
ties Of Brock and always draw a
crowd.

One of the most peaceful
places in Europe is Holland.
Holland concerns itself little
with outside influences and goes
on it's way placidly and un-
changed.
Visit some of the islands on
the Zuyder Zee and you will
find yourself transported into
another age, one that is serene
and lovely. A Journey through
Holland is always an inspiration
and a delight. This writer pre-
fers it to many other highly
touted trips.
Amsterdam is known as the
northern Venice and does it's
best to live up to that title. The
ultra-modern section does not
contrast, but blends with the
old, as one turns from a square
lined with gay cafes into stark,
austere streets lined with an
Gent houses. Many of these
streets bear biblical names such
as the street Of MoSes-and-
Aaron.
CITY OF CANALS
Amsterdam is primarily a city
of canals and it is pleasant to
hire a launch and glide under
old stone arches and bridges
through miniature locks past
houses that were built in the
Middle Ages. Sturdily-built
houses of red brick contrast
with the tender green of the
leafy trees which line the
canals.

know something of the march
say it organized in Texas.
In each Texas county is
farm agent.
Almost all of these men at
tended Texas "a and M" Col
lege. Attendance at that insti-
tuition seems to be one of the
qualifications on county agents.
"A and M" is land grant
college and has received con-
siderable support from the Gov
eminent.
So, those Who 'c11o1D something
about these things say that the
"A and M" men persuaded the
farmers that some reciprocal
ton for the Government Mould
be in order.
That, they say, is how the
now famous march started.

London Cossips Whispering George and Marina Adding
 q Nursery to New Home
By HILDE MERCHANT

LONDON, June 13.--The advent of a new royal child, if gossip's busy tongue is true, will soon en- liven the household of the Duke and Duchess of Kent at No. 3 Bel grave Square.
 No provision for blessed event was made in the five-story regency house when the Duke and his bride, the former Princess Marina Of Greece, returned from their hon. eymoon voyage last April.
 Then suddenly carpenters ap- peared. They vanished within, an- nouncing with an almost impercep- tible wink that they were going to build studio for the Duchess to continue her painting But the sound of their hammers found an echo in the drawing rooms of May fair and the clubs of Pail Mall. They say the Duchess in Sep tember. ..
 Nursery Mystery
 London newspapers, in contrast 70 the outright methods of some American columnists, put the whis- per in ink with the subtle an- 1t is understood the Duchess is shortly to curtail her social engagements"
 The location of the nursery is still a mystery. The first two floors of the house of Kent are fully occu- pied by the duke and duchess them selves, while the third floor is giv- en over to guest rooms. Some where above. unless the present floor plan is altered, rooms will have to be transformed into a nurs- cry for the first child of the royal couple.
 Duchess Suite Beautiful
 The most beautiful rooms in the house comprise the duchess bed room suite. The painted walls of white have been hung with silver curtains. The wide French windows, leading to a be-flowered balcony, are heavily draped with quilted silver satin. Bed cover and drap- cries match. The furniture is white touched with silver and her four poster bed is shrouded in muslin

BOY SCOUTING
 HERE RECEIVES ORGANIZATION
Petition Voted for District Recognition in Juneau
 and Douglas

An organization for the local di- rection of the activities of the Boy Scouts cf America in Juneau and Douglas was formulated at the City Hall last night when 25 civic leaders met Formal application for the recognition of a local Scout District on Gastineau Channel was voted unanimously by the leaders.
 Heretofore, Boy Scout troops in Juneau have been independent of any official local adult supervisory council, although there has been an unofficial council which has aided the youth movement here. Troops have carried on their work directly through the Seattle Area Council office
 Under the new set-up, steps for which were taken last night, Ju- neau and Douglas will have the direct official responsibility of sponsoring and fostering their own Scout program under a system de- vised and approved by the national headquarters of the Boy Scouts of America
 H0lbrook to Lead
 As soon as the vote has been taken to petition for the creation of Scout District here, three el ected officers were chosen. Wellman Holbrook, Assistant Regional For ester and long associated with the Boy Scout movement, was the un- animous choice for Chairman of the district.
 Other officers chosen last night include J. J. Leivers as Secretary and Walt Woodward as Vice-Chair- man.
 After a conference of leaders 1t was decided to discuss at the dis tricts next meeting the advisability of electing a second Vice-Chairman who would be resident of Douglas, A majority of the leaders expressed the opinion that, If Douglas IS to share with Juneau in this new Scouting venture, that community should have strong representation among the elected officers of the district.

USED CAR SALE
VOLUME RISES
Plymouth Reports Increase
of 43 Per Cent in First
Quarter.

An increase of 43 per cent in used
car sales for the first quarter Of
1885 is Plymouth's statistical answer
to the question, What about the
used cars?"
This is a query that automotive
trade experts have been PROFOUND
ing in recent weeks as a result Of
the record-breaking new car sales
throughout the country.
An investigation conducted by the
field men of the Central Used Car
Division of Chrysler Motors shows
that from coast to coast, used car
sales by Plymouth dealers have
equaHed and surpassed current
gains in new car sales, according to
C. E. Sering, manager of the divi-
sion.
In the week ended March 30,
Plvmouth dealers set a new high by
ing 9728 new cars" Mr.. Sering
said. I'm that same period, how
ever, the same dealers sold 1926
used cars.
While there are many reasons for
this upward swing, undeniably the
most important is the fact that
America is in the market for trans
portation. Too, the great increase
in new car sales has enabled Ply
mouth dealers to offer the public a
higher quality and a greater variety
in used car merchandise, he con-
Guided.

PRODUCTION OF
OLDSMOBILE TO
Be STEPPED UP
Former Durant Plant to Be
Utilized in Expansion
Program.

Purchase by General Motors Of
the manufacturing plants Of the
former Durant Motors Corp. to be
used to expand the future produ .
ton facilities Of Oldsmobile IS an
nounced by c. L. McCuen, president
of the Olds Motor Works, Lansing
Mich.
The property purchased is 10
Gated near the Oldsmobile factories
IN Lansing on a 48-acre industrial
site. The production facilities Of
Oldsmobile will be expanded to in
clude an area of more than $4,000
square feet in four large modern
automotive manufacturing buildings
and several smaller buildings.
These modern factories were
constructed to house the manufac-
turing and assembly of Star and
Durant automobiles. More than
10000 automobiles we're built in one
year in these new Oldsmobile fac
tories although the plants we're at
no time operated at capacity.
Since the Durant organization
ceased operations, the new plant,
built for its production, has been
used only temporarily and in part
by several manufacturing organiza-
tons allied with the automotive
industry. The buildings are con-
sidered throughout the automotive
industry as being models of mod
ern plant design and construction.
Immediate possession of the new
property will be taken.
In expanding Oldsmobile capacity,
the production activities of the
Lansing division of Fisher Body,
which are devoted exclusively to
the manufacture of Oldsmobile
bodies, will be moved to the newly
acquired buildings. Other produc-
ton activities, such as motor, axle,
sheet metal and final assembly de-
partments, will be expanded at the
present 87-acre Oldsmobile factories,
replacing the bodybuilding activ-
tiles to be centered in the new fac
tories. These moves and chargee
will be so organized that the Will
not interrupt Oldsmobile's currenl
mountaineering production.
Announcement of expansion Of
OldsmObile's output followed closely
upon reports that all previous Odds
mobile production and sales records
were broken during the first quarter
of 1885.

New WHY'S Models Being
Shown by Feeser Company
Economy, Riding Comfort
and Price of 1885 Line
Stressed.

The Frank S. Feeser Co., Inc, 1925
Prospect-st, has received the 1885
models of the WHY'S II. These
models are available in the four
door sedan and coupe, panel and
pickup delivery bodies.
THE top speed of the WHY'S n"
Charles Feeser states, lis 70 miles
an hour, and it is very economical,
as the car will average 81 to 80 miles
a gallon of gas.
AN analysis Of the present and
prospective demand for motor cars
has some interesting sidelights. The
depression has given the public new
thoughts on the motor car, and,
where, in better times, the cars SELL
ing in the upper price brackets
found larger outlet, it is now the
lower priced cars that have in
creased their sales percentages.
The WHY'S n sedan weighs 2158
pounds and was designed so that a
high degree of riding comfort
exists. Long trips can be taken in
it without fear of discomfort, and
this frequently has been acclaimed
by owners.
"On Feb. II, 1885, stock of 1885
WHY'S Model II was tested on
Muroc Dry Lake, California, through
a 24-hour continuous run, with no
change in drivers, the only stops
being those made for gasoline. This
stock car averaged 6512 miles an
hour and ran 1880 miles, as attested
by Western Union officials Weight,
power, center of gravity, quality Of
materials, wheelbase and tread have
all been scientifically balanced in
the WHY'S to assure reliability, even
under adverse driving conditions"
