In his letter the Senator again op'

find him sharing the front page with
Santa Claus.
He's liked and he's admired by the
corps, though-even by those who be-
come irked every now and then and
ayow hes the most inconsistent man
that ever lived. You can go through
the record and find these inconSist-
encies. too-inconsistency after incon-
sistency-but talk with Borah and he
will come near convincing you there
has never been an inconsistency in
his life. He deals with public ques-
tions in the light of their relation to
the times. This probably explains
the seeming inconsistencies. His
critics throw up in connection with
his present vigorous support of the
Constitution, a statement he made
just after the congressional campaign
of 1884 when the Republicans were
all but wiped out.
There was a vast amount of re-
action against the New Deal" he said,
but what were the people offered in
its stead? They can't eat the Con-
StitutiOn.'
That, incidentally, is the key on
which his presidential campaign is
being based. He wants tina: Consti-
tuition to stay there, the revered in
strument it has always been. But
after all, you can't eat it, The fact
that he has the poorest anti-New Deal
record of the presidential mention
ables, that he supported the New Deal
on IL of its II major bills, doesn't
feaze him in the slightest He will
be able to explain it. He can ex-
plain anything.
ONE cardinal reason he has been
able to maintain his popularity
for SO long, in this writer's opinion,
is that he knows when to keep quiet.
Many time the wrath of the gods
has descended upon him and the
observers have observed: Hes cook
ed his goose now for fair" But Borah
has the uncanny ability to keep quiet
in instances of this kind. He doesn't
get excited as do so many public
men and try to explain. He lets
the storm pass by. When he does
talk he is always prepared. He never
makes a speech until after he has
put all sorts of work into the prep
aration of it. One exception, per-
haps, was when he became a silver
advocate. He didn't fool with this
subject long. that is, in so far as be-
ing active in the movement was
concerned. The money business is
something nobody really understands,
but a lot. of men can't realize this.
Borah is a hard man to get on the
run.
There is not a more accessible man
in the world, yet when the European
statesmen come over here he's the one
they want to see. During the hectic
campaign of 1928 this writer visited
him in hotel room in Lincoln, Nebr.
Evening star., 1936-02-22

He was crusading for Hoover. The
next day he reported the loss of $500.
We really didn't take it.
There is an increased activity on
the part of Neighbor Dickinson. His
mass of white hair is the envy of his
colleagues who are becoming sparse
atop. If you attend any of the meet
ings of the Iowa Society you can
usually count on seeing the Senator,
the small-town boy who came here
some Is years ago. You are likely
to run into him at any of the many
Republican women's clubs. too. He's
quite goer-outer in so far as af-
fairs of this kind are concerned.
&TRANGE thing about him, now
that he is in the presidential
limelight, is that although he was
the first of the three senatorial men,
tionables to take up vigorous fight
on the New Deal he has voted for
more of the outstanding New Deal
measures than has Vandenberg.
Dickinson voted for the A. A. A.,
the imitation amendment, the T. v.
A., the stock exchange regulation
and social security. Vandenberg only
voted for the gold reserve act. social
security and the stock exchange regu-
lation, of the II measures on which
the test is being applied.
Dickinson. however, began to strike
at the New Deal and to strike hard
before it got fairly started. He comes
up for reelection as Senator this
year, regardless of his outcome in the
presidential campaign, and he foresaw
early that if the New Deal momentum
wasn't checked he was sunk by the
time he came up again.
He's been more on the warpath

added opera ation-but it gets there just
the same.
! MOT always did the United States
Capitol have its own bank. In
the old days members of the House

themselves. They got their checks, as
they do now, at the Capitol. but they
took them uptown to be cashed.

in the Office where the pay checks
were handed cut. One little service
after another was given until full
f1edged banking institution was born.
When Roberts resigned as sergeant
at arms Kenneth Romney stepped into
the job-so the present sergeant at
arms of the House has been with this
bank almost since its inception. He
was cashier for IL years prior to be-
coming president of the bank-though
that, of course is not his exact title
He is still sergeant at arms of the
House, but to all intents and purposes
he is also president of the Capitol
National Bank. for want of better
name. The bank hasn't even got a
title.
With Mr. Romney in the banking
business at the Capitol are two old
timers, a cashier and an assistant
cashier-to hand over the cash when
ever Representative steps up to the
counter and presents satisfactory Gre
dentials. These men are Harry Pillen
cashier, and John Oberholser. assistant
cashier. Neither one of these gentle
men has glass eyes either. They look
like the twin souls of generosity. And
yet they must be just as strict in their
banking operations as the hundreds
of cashiers and assistant cashiers who
operate each day in the uptown and
downtown banks. They can look at a
check and see if it's good and they
can look at the man WHO presents the
check and sense that he is good for
the check.
This means that these two men and
Sergeant at Arms Romney must know
most of the members of Congress and
their signatures. They must know also

~ this week to mark the
" " birthday anniversary OF
George Washington, there
is one man to whom the occasion will
bring food of moving memories.
That man is Col Harrison Howell
Dodge, who for more than so years
has been superintendent of Mount
Vernon. the beautiful estate on the
banks of the Potomac River, where
George Washington spent the happiest
years of his life and within the con-
fines of which rest his mortal remains
1t was in 1885 that Col. Dodge took
over his duties as superintendent of
the estate in behalf of the Mount
Vernon Ladies Association of the
Union. He has served without inter-
ruption since, spending more time on
the estate even than George Washing
ton did himself. becoming stepped in

whose career has made it halloWed

first anniversary as Mount Vernon's
superintendent, Col Dodge passes his
own 84th milestone But his appear

administration of the shrine all belle

bridge by which one can cross to the
Mount Vernon of another day.
Today Mount Vernon is a garden

boulevard stretching from the Capital
City through Alexandria to the gates
of the estate When Col. Dodge took
charge of Mount Vernon the roads
we're bad and the estate itself was
pitifully inferior to its present re-
markable state of repair and restora-
tion.
TO-DAY Mount Vernon, both as to
mansion and grounds. is very
close indeed to the way it was in
Washingtons time. Through his
years in the Office of superintendent
Col. Dodge has secured this country
and foreign lands for original articles.
Many of them he has discovered and
has been enabled to purchase. So it
is that the mansion now is furnished
quite largely with things that were
there when its roof sheltered the
Father of His Country.

rs ONE of the things that makes
Washingtonians so superior some
times: Now what other town in
the country has one President and
three presidential possibilities in its
midst? Out at Cleveland in June the
Republicans will select their standard
bearer, and it may be Senator Borah,
Senator Vandenberg or Senator Dick
inson, and then one of them may be-
come President and we will say, "Oh,
yes, I know him well, used to &C to
dances with him." and our auditors
will observe. inwardly, that we are
just about the biggest braggarts ever
to come down the pike.
OF course, the New Dealers say this
is most remote possibility: that even
if one of the three Senators does get
the Republican nomination, what of
it? Well, take their own candidate,
Mr.. Roosevelt. He's no stranger to us.
AS President he has around him any

door" to him when he was down here
during the war as Assistant Secretary
of the Navy. He's been good neigh

Assistant Secretary of the Navy say
Mr.. Roosevelt hasn't changed a bit;
still calls everybody by his first name;
still has that hearty laugh. OF course,
he has grown in stature. A man does
when he becomes President. 1t is
amazing how much they grow i'm
mediately they become the nominee.
If they are successful, the power that
goes with the Office carries them over
night to greater heights.
RUT, personally, those who know Mr.
Roosevelt best say he is the same
old Frank" Maybe his pulse is
quickening little, now that another
campaign is coming on. But it hasn't
changed his routine much. There are
more political conferences on the daily
calendar than heretofore, but mostly
it's the same routine-to work on his
mail before he gets out of bed; swim
in the warm pool which was erected
for him; then to the Office. In few
weeks, Congress permitting, he will
be taking of for his annual late VIM
ter fishing trip off the Florida coast;
then back with new bronze of the
Southern sun, fit and into the grind
again.
1t is hard, in a way, for us here in
Washington to envisage Borah as a
President. Will he quit riding home
on the Connecticut avenue bus with
us? Why, you are likely to run into
him any morning during the rush
when you are rubbing the sleep out of
your eyes and wishing that something
would turn up SO you wouldn't always
have to be punching the clock. Or If
you get up earlier and tax to the Rock

SPRING SPINACH
BEST QUALITY,
EXPERT NOTES
Housewives Advised to Be
on Watch for Crisp,
Healthy Plants.
BY SISTER MARY

Since mothers have learned the
virtues of this vegetable, spinach,
the demand his increased and so
stimulated its culture that you can
buy the vegetable at markets the
year around. However, the early
spring harvest is the heaviest and
of the finest quality.
When you market for spinach,
look for plants with plenty of good
healthy leaves. The condition of
the leaves is of prime importance
Medium-sized plants of good dark
green color, leaves fresh and crisp,
free from sand or dirt, are desirable
and mean that the vegetable will be
tender and an attractive vivid green.
Sand Won't Drain Off
Nowadays it's seldom that a
shipping of spinach is weedy. How
ever, weedy spinach means loss of
weight as well as time in sorting
out the weeds.
Spinach which is very sandy or
dirty is difficult 70 clean, for the
dirt seems to defy all washing. I
never did blame the little girl who
said she didn't like spinach be-
cause the vitamins got in her teeth.
She was served gritty spinach.
If the leaves are light colored, of
yeliowisn tinge and tightly
curled, tiny insects are apt to be
present and I'd look further for
my dinner vegetable.
In washing, always LIFT the
leaves from one water bath to; the
other. In this way the sand settles
to the bottom and Is not disturbed.
If you pour the water off without
removing the leaves the sand is
distributed back through them and
they're very little cleaner after sew
eral baths.
I always cut the leaves from the
stems, discarding both the. root and
stems.
Let Excess Water Drain Off
After thoroughly washing spin
ach, let it drain in a coiander for
few minutes to remove excess
water. Then cook 1t covered about
five minutes. Remove cover and
toss lightly with a fork. Cook, un-
covered, until tender and almost
dry. Season with salt just before
removing from the fire.
If you chop the vegetable line
ly it will be necessary to reheat it
before serving. Careless serving has
done more to make spinach unpopu-
lar than the taste of the green it
self. Be sure it is very hot and
we'll seasoned. Some men like bit
of horseradish for seasoning, or to-
mato catsup or mushrooms.
