hinder the trade agreements program.
He advocated allowing belligerents to
buy goods, other than arms, in
America on a "cash-and- carry" basis.
During yesterdays House debate,
Culkin said, both Hull and Assistant
Secretary of State Sayre, who handles
details of trade agreement negotia-
tions, have a complete contempt for
Congress"
Hull, he said, is impatient and un-
mannerly under fire and seems to re-
gard Congress as a og-rolling venal
body. incapable of intelligent action"
Sayre sat in gallery between two
State Department aides, chatting and
smiling during the exchange that fol-
lowed.
Extension of Act.
The legislation would extend the
trade agreements act, which expires
June r. for three years Under the
act the administration can make pacts
with foreign nations, cutting tariffs
and other trade barriers without the
consent of the Senate.
Democrats pounded away during the
debate on theme that the trade pacts
program had brought substantial BEN
efits to American industry and agri-
culture and had laid stronger founda-
tions for world peace.
Republicans argued that the act
handed Congress tarlff-making rights
over to the President in violation of
the Constitution, that it had increased
imports more than exports and aided
foreign nations more than the United
States.

for the Ohio and Mississippi in COM
bination with a six-year program of
public works
More T. V. AS" Urged.
Senator Norris, independent, Of Ne
braSka, daddy" Of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority act, offered proposal to
handle the flood problem by creating
enough T. V. AS to cover the entire
country" Such program. he con-
tended. would mean the maximum
navigation development. the maximum
food control, the maximum reforesta-
ton, the maximum correction Of soil
erosion and the maximum amount of
power"
In Washington. the Weather Bu-
reau forecast rain or snow tonight
over Indiana. Illinois and Missouri.
The Flood Warning Service said,
however, this would not affect high
waters there.
Colder weather was predicted in
Western Arkansas and Louisiana, with
rising temperatures elsewhere along
the lower Mississippi Valley.
Along the Ohio the hardest hit
towns emerged farther from food
waters and began thinking in terms
of reconstruction.
Cincinnati reported shopping
boom reminiscent OF holiday trade
as stores reopened to meet buyers
long-denied needs.
The Ohio overflow continued to re-
treat from Louisville at the rate Of
3 feet day, leaving the city with an
acute housing problem which Mayor
Neville Miller discussed with Harry
Hopkins, w. P. A. administrator and
head of the Presidents Flood Relief
Commission.
In Evansville Ind, yesterday Hop
kins promised Southern Indiana and
other Ohio Valley sectors plenty Of
w. P. A. employment for emergency
rehabilitation.
Far to the West, Southern Oregon
fought flood conditions brought about
by rain and melting SHOWS that sent
streams overfowing highways.
Cairo, just past memorable crisis,
saw the yellow tide of the Ohio be-
gin a slow recession, but maintained
its vigilant watch on sea wall and
sandbagged levee.
Hickman, KY, nestled snugly and
apparently safely behind its concrete
flood defense. Just below, the Reel
foot levee, protecting a hundred square
miles of Western Tennessee, stanchly
resisted the crest of the flood.
At Hickman and around the Mis-
sissippi's hairpin bend to New Ma
drid, Mo-, the river fell slowly.
Downstream the river still was on
the rise. 1t edged up to 47.69 feet
on the Memphis Weather Bureau
gauge last night, with crest OF 48
feet due in a few days. A rise, too,
was recorded at Helena, Ark. where
the river gauged slightly above So
feet. With levee weak spots REIN
forced at Mellwood and Ferguson,
Ark, engineers saw little difficulty
ahead.
Sand boils, created when the flood
water finds a loose stratum of earth
under the levee and bubbles up
through it, were proving bothersome
at Cairo, along the Reelfoot Levee, and
in Mississippi.
Lieut.. Col Eugene Reybold, district
engineer, said Cairo's seawan and
leeves have a minimum of "a feet
of freeboard. There was good free
board on the Hickman Wall and Reel
foot levees and main Mississippi
levees from New Madrid to Helena
"have four feet or more of freeboard."
This margin was considered more than
adequate to meet the crests' down.

Raw Potatoes Used
In Fattening Lambs

Raw potatoes have proved to be
an exceptionally satisfactory feed
for fattening lambs, says Howard
Hackedorn, head of the department.
of animal husbandry at Washing
ton State College. Several years
experience with feeding them at
the Washington experiment station
shows that one ton of potatoes re-
placed one-sixth of a ton of grain
(corn, wheat or barley) and one
third of a ton of hay. The expert
ments were with sNty-five to sew
enty-fve pound feeder lambs.
In experiments at the station
potatoes fed at the rate of one to
one and one-half pounds gave bet
ter results than feeding up to two
pounds. The cheapneSs of the pu-
tatoes this season, however, would
make a heavier feeding Of potatoes
quite satisfactory. A ration made
up Of one pound of grain, one and
one third pound of hay and two
pounds of potatoes gave an aver
age daily gain of 3 of a pound.
The chopping Of potatoes did not
prove advantageous. The lambs re-
ceiying the whole potatoes made
more gains than those receiving
the chOpped potatoes.
A complete report of the expert
mental data will be found in Bull
letin 351 which can be secured at
the Washington experiment. station
at Pullman.

mo you remember the wonder tales
- you read when a child the for
bidding castles filled with ogres, the
huge Jim of the Arabian Nights,
the trolls that lived under bridges
and the fairies that haunted mystic
lious woodlands?
You can use your camera to re-
create those childhood memories.
You can make giants walk through
your pictures. You can hold yourself,
or tiny version of yourself, in the
hollow of your own hand. You can
pose in intimate conversation with
the Irish "wee people," the elves and
fairies and the cobbling leprechaun.
It's not hard. The method is to
use our old friend, the double ex-
posure-two shots on the same film.
All that is necessary is accurate pos
ing and careful control of the light.
A black background is necessary or
you can pose your subject before
the door of dark room.
Note the picture above. Although
it was made with camera having a
ground glass for focusing, which
simplifies making such pictures, you
can get the same effect with your
own small camera. First, pose the
subiect fairly close to the camera,
with his empty hand extended. Snap
the picture and mark the position
of the hand on the glass view finder,
very carefully, with tiny dot Of
ink.
Now, without winding the film,
move the camera back several feet,
SO the subject appears small in the
view finder. Let him stand, facing
hia former position, 30 that his feet
appear right on the ink dot in tie

slight errors in the position of the

time and the final picture is made.
When the picture is developed,
presto! there are the little man ann
the big ore, facing each other on the
same film
You will probably make mistakes
in placement on your first tries, be-
cause the view finder is small, but
this is part of the fun of trying
trick photography and some OF
your errors may give funnier pic
ture than the one you carefully
planned 1T is we'll to remember that
only the figures in these shots can
be lghted-if surrounding objects
show up, they will spoil the picture.
If your camera has an "open" di.
rect view finder, without glass, it is
best not to try this sort Of work. II.
however, you have camera with
ground glass back, you can place
figures with greater accuracy.
With this technique, you can make
fairy dance on the table in front
of you-the fairy being your small
daughter in her ballet dress. If You
want to make the little figures trans
parent, shorten exposure little.
You can, If you like, do costume
work, illustrating the fairy tales you
enjoyed as a child. Try Jack and the
Beanstalk, with an intrepid small
boy eluding the grasp of tierce
ogre. Or get an old hiking brogan
and a copy of Mother Goose and
picture the Old Lady Who Lived In A
Shoe.

Uncle Sans First Visit To This
Valley

The first post office recorded in
our little valley was located near
Wahluke Ferry on the Craig home
stead. Mrs. Craig was the first
postmistress and the little office
was named Julia"
At that time the mail came on
horseback and buggy through the
sage brush and bunch grass from
the small town of Council, which
is about thirty miles east of White
Bluffs.
In 1905, our town doomed and
new settlers came in to settle on
the farms that at that time were
rather expensive. Land prices
SCARED and people came from a
great distance to locate in the little
valley. People settled the land on
the river banks first and the need
for a town was next discussed. In
1907 the town site of White Bluffs
was established across the river
from the old Hudson Bay trading
post at what is now called OLD
Town.
The business houses were not
many in number at first, consist
ing of the hotel, post office, saloon,
blacksmith shop, land office and a
few others.
A new postmaster took office
when the post office was completed,
his name was Angus Hay. The mail
at this time was brought up from
Pasco on the Hanford Flyer three
times a week. 1t was quite an event
to be down at the wharf when the
boat locked.
In 1913 the railroad came through
to the present town site. During
1918 and 1914 the town was moved
up near the railroad making it
necessary to move the buildings of
the former town. The post office
then was moved to it's place in the
new town.
Since then the mail has been
brought up on stages and on the
train.
