United States Senate.
Mr.. Halves has a firearm collec-

the country over, and in his office
in the Transportation Building
his guns are very much in evil
dence.
They hang on the walls, they
line several cabinets and they
peep out of desk drawers all over
the place.
Busy as he may be, and he is a
busy lawyer, he'll take time out
any time to talk about his guns.
"NOw that big one over there

long and requires two men to
carry it-that was presented to
Daniel Boone by the Virginia
legislature.
THAT one next to it is an old
Puritan blunderbuSS, the kind
that made a lot of noise and did
a lot of damage to the Indians, ,
and there are the early buffalo
rifles"
There are others around the
walls. From a cabinet he
proudly pulls out a pair of old
Spanish duelling pistols.
And then, the piece de resist

was employed. Then came clock
with two dials, one of which was d.
