. one fellow of medium height has
been the nemesis Of bigger but
less agile man than Senator Hale
of Maine.
While you are on the Senate
side you might take a look at Sen
ator w. Warren Barbour, of New
Jersey.
There have been few men in
the Senate who could boast of the
fine physique of this gentleman.
He is we'll over six feet. and you
couldn't count the pounds he
weighs over 200 on your two
hands.
He was at one time amateur
heavyweight champion Of the
United States. A good boy, and
one to steer clear of in case you
feel the urge to express yourself
via the fistic route.
With all of it he has one of the
most genial dispositions of anyone
in that august body, and would
probably laugh long and loudly in
case you though you would like to
tackle him.
EXERCISE
Handball seems to have the
edge on sports in the House gym

would show you some remarkably
able men stripped to the waist

calls.

The most unique case among the
legislators, however, is Senator
William H. King of Utah. Senator
King does not believe in wasting
time on exercise or relaxation.
RESTLESS
He is accorded whatever prize
that could be offered as the busiest
man in the United States Senate
today. And he doesn't pause
minute. Three, four, five commit
tee meetings are duck soup for him
in the morning between the hours
of 10 and IL. He dasheS from one

He is one Of the most restless
members of the Senate and is al

the chamber he goes. He doesn't

ady he has incurred is sinus and
he charges that to the climate in
Washington.

Dull safety
With the patience
That I face despair.

For a man to be
A plugger as a hero.

That it's as brave

And when

Proves too strong.
Help me forget

Which lure me on

And, Scorning all

Take up,

Of sacrifice

Must bear.

have used up more news print than
brains, as human attributes or
phenomena. They have inspired
enough juvenile jokes to fill a
dozen editions of Joe Miller's Joke

labored scientific studies and SOL

No clear reason for the varying

In Colonial days, Americans
were beardless. In the 1840's the
theater was supposed to have
started the custom of wearing
boards following the revival in
England. Our first presidents had
no boards, the only ones so
adorned being Lincoln, Grant,
