Lots Drawn in 1889 for
United States Senator

When the nations first senate was
organized on May IA, 1889, only ten
states were represented, the others
not having accepted the Constitu-
ton, notes writer in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The twenty senators
were divided into three classes, one
Of six members and the other two Of
seven members. One member Of
each class then drew lots, the class
drawing number one to serve two
years; number two to serve four
years, and number three, six years.
The lots were so arranged that no
two senators from a state fell into
the same class.
So the country had three sets Of
senators, one retiring in 1871, the
next in 1898, and the third in 1795.
The system so established has new
er been changed.
AS the other states sent senators
they were admitted and assigned
by lot in the same way. AS their
terms expired, successors were
elected for the full six-year term.
Senators from new states, by the
enabling acts admitting the states,
were also assigned so as to keep
the three classes even.
MuskmelOn and CantalOupe
Many persons are puzzled by the
names muskmelon and cantaloupe.
Horticulture states that the term
muskmelon is the proper one to ap-
>ly. The cantaloupe is really small
melon used for forcing in European
.reenhouses. This name, however,
las come to be used in the trade for
'rtain kinds of melons. 1t is purely
trade name and is given to what
actually muskmelon.

Old-F ashioned Remedies
Favored by the Japanes

The Japanese boast of the most
fantastic medicines. and the country
folk go in for cures" which, to q
European, would seem a good deal
worse than the disease, notes a writ
er in Pearson's London Weekly.
A widely-used cure for fever con-
sists Of placing a poultice of earth
worms on the patients stomach, be-
cause japanese believe that this
viii draw the fever out.
Anyone suffering from a sty or
other eye trouble is advised to lie
down and sprinkle salt on the stom-
ach. Burned clay, raked out Of old
cooking stoves, is another cure-an.
Eaten slowly, it is supposed to BAN
ish any kind Of sickness.
The effects Of eating too many
oysters are supposed to be removed
by eating powdered oyster shell, and
this cure is also widely used for in
digestion and similar ailments.
Heartburn-not the indigestion kind,
but that which comes from blighted
affections-can be soothed by eat
ing a few toads.
But the most widely-used treat
ment consists Of sticking pins into
ones anatomy. According to the
Japanese way Of thinking, there are
more than 800 different parts of the
body into which a pin can be stuck,
each part being the location Of diff
ferent disease.
Babies, however, are not consid-
cred strong enough to Withstand
! these cures, so the Japanese mother
deceives the germs Of disease by
hanging a notice outside the house
informing all germs that the baby il
not at home.

with political corruption and
calls for a housekeeping.
DR.. Ortiz is supported by the two
parties making up the conservative
liberal coalition which has support
cd the Justo administration. DR..
de Alvear is the nominee of the
Radical party which claims support
Of the Argentine masses.
The Issues Are Sharp
The government party, support
ing DR.. Ortiz, points out that when
President Justo took office in 1882,
Argentina was in the midst of the
depression, its budget was out Of
gear and farm prices were down.
In the succeeding six years, they
continue, in contract, the budget
has peen balanced, emergency taxes
have been reduced, the foreign debt
burden has been lowered and farm
prices have risen.
To this the Radical party, sup
porting DR.. de Alvear, replies that
the Justo regiment used strong
arm methods and ballot frauds to
retain control of the national con-
gress in last years provincial cleo
tio,2s.
All three leading figures in the
campaign-Justo, Ortiz and Alvear
used to be teammates in the
Radical party When Alvear rep
resented the more conservative
wing of the Radical as President,
both Justo and Ortiz were in his
Cabinet.
Dir. Ortiz, thick-set man of 81,
who always has espoused liberal
principles, has combined politics,
business and the practice of law
with equal success. He is moderate
~ rich, interested in several large
concerns and is a former attorney
for the Br;tish-owned Great West
ern Railway.
DR.. de Alvear, SO, is a member
of an old Argentine family. His
great great grandfather was a
Spanish Admiral who came out to
Argentina in colonial days to settle
q Spanish Portuguese dispute over
colonial frontiers. His 1929 adj
minis+-ation sailed along smoothly,
and he was removed from party
leadership before the Radical ca
tastropGe came with the 1890 rev.
olution.

stay in Flensburg, several sailing
regattas were staged by. the mid
shipmen in the Nazi naval academy
there. Very interesting was a visit
to the academy. Other highlights
of their stay at Flensburg were
visits to the great castle used as
summer residence by the son of
Che King of Denmark, and dinner
in the former home of DR.. Hugo
Eckener. His house there is MAIN

Interesting Museum
Flensburg was a flourishing sea-
port in the days of the Hanseatic
League and is filled with sights of
great interest, Miss Hansen reports
In the museum there are exact rep
licas of early Morse and German
homes.
Next the party visited Hamburg
and Bremmen, where a common
sight was several of the various Ger
man Youth groups engaged in BIZ
cycling, hiking, or other outdoor
activities. In Holland, the three
travellers saw the yearly jamboree
of boy and girl scouts gathered from
England, Scotland, Finland, and
other neighboring countries.
From Vlissengen, they sailed back
to England, landing at Harich. Then
London for three days, with time
filled with seeing all the historic
sights; the changing Of the guard,
the King and Queen returning from
Ireland, the Archbishop of Canter-
bury.

Then they boarded the Ghost
Train" for Much Wenlock, a quaint
village that was important during
the conflict of the Yorkists and
Lancasters. After vainly trying to
buy white ink in various little Eng
fish communities, and finding it
unheard of, they went back to Lon
don; then to Liverpool and aboard
the Duchess of Bedford for the jour
ney back across the ocean.
Steaming up the st. Lawrence
waterway, they landed at Montreal,
then went to Chicago for one day,
August 20; then the trip back to

MARC|T HANSEN
FINDS EUROPE
10 her LIKING
Juneau Miss Returns from
Two Months rip
Across Atlantic

With recollections Of two
months trip to Europe this summer
| still dancing before her eyes, Miss
Margit Hansen arrived in Juneau
last evening aboard the steamer
North Sea for a short visit here with
her parents before returning to
Moscow, for another term at the
University of Idaho.
Heading directly east from Mos
COW, on June 81, Miss Hansen, in
company with her college roomate,
Miss Dorothy Whiteman, and her
roomate's father, S. H. Whiteman,
Of Cataldo, Idaho, Miss Hansen
spent one day in Washington, d. c.
then went to New York City for
another three days before sailing
across the Atlantic on the S. S.
Berengaria.
At Communist Session
Right from the outset, the three
travellers were to happen upon in
teresting scenes. Because of the
delayed sailing Of the Normandie,
the Berengaria was completely
filled for the voyage and among her
passengers was a group of Com
munist enthusiasts returning to the
USSR. The Communists held meet
ings aboard ship, and Miss Hansen
and her companions, as well as
other passengers, went back into
the third-class to listen in on one of
the gatherings; finding it an inter
esting and unusual experience. Fol-
lowing the meeting, Miss Hansen
was cornered by a woman Com
munist, who explained the move
ment to her in detail, and at first
hand.
On to England
The Atlantic crossing behind, the
Berengaria touched at Cherbourg
then continued on to Southampton,
England, where the Whitemans and
Miss Hansen landed There they
were met by friends and were taken,
by car, through oxford for a view
of the college, then on to Shrews-
bury, where they spent some time.
They made several trips out of
Shrewsbury, visiting great oil
castles and churches, dating back
to the time of the Norman invasion.
From Shrewsbury, they made a
motor trip through Wales, which
was highlighted by their arrival
in Everystwyth just two or three
days after the King and Queen had
visited that town. Decorations in
welcome to the rulers were still
draping the coNmupitys aMng
greatly to the visit there
The greater part of their time
abroad was spent by Miss Hansen
and her companions in England,
where they were initiated into the
sport of riding to hounds ON an
otter hunt. Miss Hansen was taken
by the scarlet jackets donned by
many of the hunters. She was also
overjoyed at her first chance to
learn to ride, and made the most
of it.
Barter With Peddlers
Crossing the Channel, the three
spent three days in Paris, where
they found their greatest interest
in the Algerian street DeddlerS. Bar
tering with them was delightful,
Miss Hansen declared.
Passing through Belgium, they
went next to Northern Germany.
They admired the great Cathedral
at Cologne, passed through Keil
Canal, then settled down for few
days in Flensburg, near the Dan
ish border They met with perfect
weather at Flensburg, and spent
some really delightful days sailing
