carpet, they were received in
the oval room. Not cross word
was said. Papa pointed out the
Democratic platform adopted in
Philadelphia, favoring Federal
wage-hour legislation and farm
relief. They told him they
thought they could work out a
much better wage-hour bill and
get it through some way, some
how next session. AS for farm
relief, it will be written in con-
ference during the holidays,
passed before spring.
Papa was not thoroughly con-
vinced, but finally agreed they
should assume complete respon-
sibility and carry out the plat
form.
CONTRARY to the general be-
~ lief, Congress did far more
In the special session than any
one thought possible. The record
looks bad because only three
measly pieces of legislation were
finally enacted: the self gift of
congressional mileage, a pay
bill for the pages and a bill to
lend pictures to the Corcoran
Art Gallery here.
But the legislators did two
months full work in preparing
the farm bill, housing, three ap-
preparation bills, and other leg
tSlation; rejecting the makeShift
wages-hours bill. They earned
their salaries, if not mileage.
Leaders privately feel they
have been foully treated by the
press, particularly the cartoon
lists. They are worried. At a
meeting the other day they
agreed the fun being poked at
them is the kind of stuff upon
which relationships are founded.

He did everything but apologize.
If any tears were shed here,

All were happy of nature, attractive
and accomplished and had been ac-

they were inseparable when they were
at home together.
Funeral arrangements had not been,
completed but it was understood the

The bodies have been removed to a.

Meanwhile the bodies had been
brought to the, home on wagon by
a different road Bearing up cour-

grief-stricken son and remarked,
"They were ready to go; they were
beautiful in life; and Lord knows
what is best"

Although it was not necessary for

tering into the work with songs and
laughter. The eldest was teacher
in the Stem schools last year.

Mark held a match for Claire's

didn't see it. She was looking
past him toward the door of the

alone in the direction of her

drawn smoothly over her proud
head. A long black wooden cape
lined with bright red hung from
her shoulders to the floor.
Mark Sutherland caught his
breath. 'The girl has distinc-

Stringing Tobacco
The fatal crash of lightning came

Hester's farms about mile southeast
of here. where the girls had gone with
the father and only brother to string
tobacco preparatory to curing. Also
in the party were Roy Mangum, a
cousin, and Eugene Rogers.
When rain began to fall the men
went to a nearby wagon to prepare
it as a shelter. AS they were doing
this, the girls drew sacks over their
heads. and huddled with their arms
about one another. The lightning
struck them directly.

without warning and stunned him
momentarily. Young Hester's arm
