One was told off as cook, and Q Reneral-utility handy man hired. Services of another nurse were se- cured and the Canadian Red Cross stepped into the breach when the doctors slender pocket-book proved unequal to the sudden strain.
 On the third day, the station agent at Moosetown came driving up to the Wyatt home with a bulky package.
 "Its for you and for the Wyatt babies from Chicago" he told Dr. Luke, sliding the package from the back end of his car. They carried 1t in and unwrapped 1t. A thankful little prayer forced itself from the doctors lips.
 It was an incubator. Just an old wooden box with 6 glass top, and pan on it's bottom heated by a kero- sene burner, q thermometer and a sponge-holder inside to keep humid ity high. But 1t was godsend, and within a few minutes the two small est babies were resting comfortably and snugly within 1t.
 The incubator was only the forerunner of @ deluge of gifts, some useful and all well-meant, which descended on Moosetown.
 Within a few days, commercial firms rushed blankets, refrigerators, diapers, cribs, packaged baby food, nursing bottles, bootees, thermo- meters, bibs and bathtubs.

 The entire Wyatt home had to be reorganized as Q nursery, screens placed on windows to guard against the vicious black flies and moSqui- toes. Long lines of diapers appear ed in the back yard and Q laundry system begun.
 The older Wyatt children re- mained at neighbours when sev- eral of them developed bronchitis. There was no room for them in the tiny Wyatt home anyway, with three nurses and cook and hospital orderly" on hand.
 Mrs. Wyatt was soon up and around, and doing her share of the work, oscillating between her own home and that of the neigh bor who was keeping her other children. Asa spent Q great deal of time at the village store. His initial shyness began to disappear, and he soon began to blossom into a person of importance. Con- stant posing before the unsuitable newspaper cameras had it's share in this.
 Tn the evening Dr. Luke tried to hide away in his study, to avoid the general hubbub. Even that haven was denied him, for the do0rbell rang constantly. Promoters seeking his approval of this or that propo- sition for exploiting the miraculous children, producers of baby foods and supplies seeking endorsements, neWspapermen and women implor- ing him to "give them new slant on the case" So bad did this get that Dr. Luke was more than half inclined not to answer the bell one night when 1t interrupted him for the twentieth time. But he went wearily to the door and opened 1t.
 Mary Mackenzie stood before. him.
 "Why come in, Maryl" he greeted her. Nobody sick, is there? Your Daddy's arm getting on all rightp" Mary was obviously distressed. She sat nervously in chair be- low the shelves of books that rose to the ceiling, twisting Q hand kerchief in her hands.

Crawford reused himself to action. He wired succinct instructions to Mackenzie at Moosetown.
 The company manager Scowled as he read the curt telegram. It said:
 GET DOCTOR WILSON OUT OF THERE AT ONCE STOP RENDER ALL POSSIBLE AID DR. LUKE"
 Mackenzie had no choice but to obey, but his call on Dr. Luke ct one of the periods when the doctor was at home trying to keep up with his regular patients, was surly and un- gracious. He felt that Sir Basil had thrown him down badly, a feeling that was not entirely unJustihed.
 pr. Luke was not fooled by the tender of aid rom Mackenzie. He did not know, but he suspected, that only the popularity of the babies and the focus of public attention on the situation had prompted the offer.

From North Bay, from De- troit. Cleveland, Montreal, New York, Chicago, came the reporters and camera men, plaguing the doc- tor for details, pictures, signed stories. At first Dr. Luke was re- sentful. The quiet ways of Mosetown had included no such hectic whirl- wind as this. But gradually, as money and aid began to pour in as a direct result of the stories the young men were filing at the crowd- ed telegraph office, Dr. Luke be- came reconciled. This was the chan

Authorization of Senator Harry Byrd's proposed investigation of federal government, it's expendi- lures and overloappings, couldn't have happened before this year. Nor would any house committee have refused funds for administra. ton political projects such as Pass amaquoddy and the Florida ship canal--or for the shelter belt.
 The flareup over the War Depart mcnt' punishment of General Ha- good for his wisecracks against WPA before the military affairs committee was unusually vigor- ous. Any federal agency will tell you that congressman are likely to be tough these days when they yel- ephone these daytaoishbrdluusm
 ephone for information. Senator Bachman of Tennessee, seated near Chief of Staff Main Craig at 8 din- ner the other night, bawled the latter out for the Magood incident. We're finished with this bureau- cratic and departmental domina- ton of Congress, he announced.
 Several reasons for all this: The pie has about given out, both the patronage a nd project varieties. There's natural tendency to swing back from previous marked sub- servience to the administration --- often to resume normal subservi- ence to special interests which usu- ally help elect and control mcm- bers. Most congressman are con- additionally -assertive; decline of administration prestige makes administration support seem less important to them than in 1884.

 Washington, March 9 -- Congress doesn't carry its hat in its hand any more when 1t goes to the White House.
 The administration lack of legislative program for this ses- sion coincides, not too oddly, with the fact that senators and repre- sentatives generally are far more independent than in any other ses- sion since Roosevelt took office. Tn his current demand for more than a billion dollars of taxes, Roosevelt had intended to include requests for inheritance taxes and increased levies on higher bracket income. His congressional leaders baked and tol dhirn he would be licked on 1t.
 Congress hates ne wtaxes in an election year, though 1t still loves to spend money. If Roosevelt gets any more soak k-the-rich" 1egisla- ton from this congress, 1t will be only through a miracle of strategic manipulation.
