Making his first public utter
ance since the election last fall
President Roosevelt, in his address
at the opening of Congress last
week, emphasized the divergent
views that exist between the jul
dietary, in its Interpretation of
fundamental law, and the legisla-
tive and executive branches of the
government, in their effort to
meet modern conditions that chal-
lenge democratic government.
Mr.. Roosevelt saw no vital need
for a Constitutional amendment,
but he insisted that the document
be viewed in an enlightened man.

powers can be exercised for the
common good. His remarks call
attention to what has been pointed
out in this column, that the Demo

to cover too much ground the

problems it attempted to meet
have not been outlawed and are
still with u.s." He did not believe
it possible to secure decent con-
ditions and adequate pay for la

that means must be found to
"adapt our legal form and our
judicial Interpretation to the ac-
tual present national needs of the
largest progressive democracy in
the modern world"
Among other goals mentioned
by the President were Federal
laws to supplement State laws in
regulating industry, immediate ex-
tension of neutrality legislation
to meet the Spanish situation, an
adequate relief appropriation to
care for needy unemployed cap
able of useful work, low-cost hous-
ing and sum clearance, aid for
farm tenants, enlarging and i'm
proving the social security sys-
tenn and the extension of certain
legislation due to expire unless re-
enacted. This last class includes
the RFC, power to devalue the
dollar and to maintain the ST.
000, 900, 900 sterilization fund.
The Seventy-fifth Congress as
sembled last week and promptly
organized. Representative Sam
Rayburn of Texas won the ma
jority floor leadership in a contest
with John J. O'Connor of New
York. Representative William B.
Bankhead of Alabama was re-
elected Speaker of the House, and
his opponent, Representative Ber-
trand Smell of New York auto
matieally became minority leader
of the Republicans.
Both houses held a joint session
on January 9th to count and GER
tify the result of the electoral
college in the states and to make
official declaration of the reelec-
ton of President Roosevelt and
Vice-President Garner.
The Democratic membership in
Congress constitutes a majority
more Overwhelming than has lex
listed in the memory of the oldest
members. Scoring a House gain
of twelve seats in the last election
while the Republicans were los
ing thirteen, the Democrats now
possess 333 seats, the Republicans
80, Progressives Z, Farmer-Labor-
ties 5 and there is one vacancy.
This means that the Democrats
have 1871 per cent of the House
membership, compared with "a
per cent in the 74th Congress and
71.2 per cent in the 73rd. Repub-
lican membership, which was Gil
per cent in the list Congress,
dropped in succeeding congresses

at 20.3. Since the elections of

home In the West once there were
salt mines, these bluebirds often
build their nursery. They lined it
with dried grasses and a few soft
feathers, with a strip of bark seized
from a cedar tree.

blue eggs are placed in the nest. The

sing to her during the long days when
the eggs must be protected.
The parents enjoy the fruit from
the elderberries, and they love wild
grapes and ripe blackberries. Insects
dren arrive, so this solves the food
question for the hungry brood. as well
as for the parents who really like to
vary their diet.
Some have named this Western
bluebird the Arctic bluebird. 1t is
slightly over 7 inchs in length. The
males coat is sky blue and the under
parts have a turquoise blue tint fading
to white. The female is gray and
turquoise-blue with underneath of
brownlsh gray and white The bilis
are slender and rather small. The
wings are long and pointed, the tail
is shorter than the wings and has a
decided notch in it. The sturdy little
legs are short, and give to the bird an
appearance of dumpishness. The
black bill, the brown eyes, and the
various shades Of cobalt blue, tur-

all toned in one beautiful combina-
ton, will make you want to see this
little bird of the mountains. 1t comes
close to our homes when mating time
arrives, and is one you will surely
look forward to seeing year after

is, I cannot think of any one who can
sing who would be likely to sing just
to you"
We'll, of all things!" exclaimed Mrs.
Longbill. Il wonder what Longbill
would say to that! just can't imagine
him singing to any one else"
And I just can't imagine Longbill
the Woodcock singing to any one I
can't imagine him singing at ALL" de-
clared Peter frankly.
If Mrs. Longbill's big pop eyes, so
nearly on the top Of her head, could
have opened any wider, they would
have. Yes, sir, they would have. Hes
a beautiful singer" she declared.
Peter chuCkled "If you call that
whistling sound he makes when he
flies, or those other funny sounds he
makes, singing, don't" said he. "a
real song is musical. I should as soon
expect to sing myself as to expect to
hear Longbill sing. I suppose it is
all right for you to think he sings, but,
Of course, others are not so fond of
him as you are. I guess even Longbill
himself would laugh if he heard you
call him singer"
He is a singer" retorted Mrs
Longbill, and she was so indignant
that she could hardly speak. Il don't
call those Whistling sounds or those
other sounds that you say are funny
singing any more than you do. Neither
does he. His real song is to me the
sweetest, loveliest song in all the
Great World"
Mrs. Longbill really meant that.
Peter could see this. He hardly knew
what to say. He just couldn't imagine
Longbill really singing. He couldn't,
he just couldn't believe that Longbill
did sing. He thought that Mrs. Long
bill probabl! was so much in love with
Longbill that she would think any
sound he made was lovely. Then Mrs.
Longblll made a remark that set Peter
to wondering.
Longblll sings only at this time of
year and for only short time then.
And when he sings few ever see him,
for ne means that song just for me, and
ne waits until it is quite dark. Then he
flies high up above me, where even /
cannot see him, and he sings and his
lovely song comes down out Of the
sky to me-
Peter was reminded of that mys-
terlous song he had heard. Could it
be? Could it possibly be that he had
found out who the singer was? He
doubted it, and yet-well, he would
make sure

the ears of no one but me, it is mine,
isn't it? OF course, it is. 1t is Just
as much my song as it would be if I
sang it myself"
Peter was a little doubtful about
this. "It would be just as sensible to
say that when I thump signal to
Mrs. Peter it is her signal" said he.
well, if it is meant for her and she
gets it, it is hers, isn't it?" retorted
Mrs Longbill
Peter had to think this over. He
scratched long ear with long hind
foot. He scratched the other long ear
with the other long hind foot. He was
sure that such signal would be his
own signal, yet when Mrs. Longbill put
1t the way she had it seemed as if
there was something in what she said.
He didn't see how there could be, yet it
sounded reasonable. Finally he gave
up puzzling over that. Who is there
who would sing just to you?" he de-
manded bluntly.
why, Peter, what question? Who
do you think would sing to me?" re-
piled Mrs. Longbill

then hastened to add: What I mean

more in it,"
Il once knew a man very much
like you" he answered, but in slight
ly more fortunate circumstances. I
mean he was like you in his way of
thinking. And he came to a very
curious end because of it."
What happened to him?" Monk
queried. He hastily favored himself
with a second plate of stew as jim
arose and resumed work on the letters.

because he was ambitious for himself.
And besides he knew that if he stud
led processes when he went home at
night he stood very good chance OF
being advanced to a better position.
FOR few years he just plugged
along, and then what he had
foreSeen happened. He figured out a
new way of handling a very expensive
manufacturing process that would
save money for the firm and gave
his employers the secret. Of course,
they took immediate interest and gave
him a better job and more money.
He married the only girl he had
ever loved, and from then on things
appeared to be brighter and brighter
The company had kept a watchful
eye on Bill, and pretty soon raise after
raise resulted as he kept getting better
jobs.
BY the time that he was a junior
executive his little boy was nearly
old enough to go to school, and Bill
adored him. But all the while he
had been advancing himself some
thing was happening to his soul. He
was money mad, drunk with the
power he had forged for himself. And
with moderate wealth the inevitable
happened. He began going about
with other women.
His wife was heartbroken and left
him. But after while Bill awoke to
the realization that his wife and boy
were the real things he wanted out of
life and induced them to come back
to him
Bill was at the station on the day
they were to arrive, and he was eager
to confess his fault and ask forgive
ness. But he never did it. The train
bearing his wife and boy was wrecked,
and ne attended double funeral in
stead of triple home coming party"

turned that suit. Mr.. Bernard next
led small diamond toward dunn

with the jack, was caught in an end
play. A diamond lead would be right

elected to lead another club. Dis
carding a diamond from dummy, Mr.
Bernard ruffed in his hand and
claimed the balance, since he could

discard his last loser on the king of

TINE bluebird of the mountains
is somewhat larger than his
Well-knoWn Eastern cousin.
The tail of the former is
shorter, but he is often taken for the
other.
This mountaineer loves the noun
tains Of Western North America. Also
northward from here to the Macken-
zie and the Yukon territory. The
children are raised in New Mexico
and Arizona, Northwestern Texas,
westward to the Sierra Nevada and
Cascade range.
The birds are to be found from
10000 to $4,000 feet above sea level.
In other words they dwell among the
clouds and love the peaks and quiet
OF the mountains where the timber
line is lost.
Here on the top of the world they
sing their exquisite songs. 1t is be-
cause they are music lovers first, and
use this form of language to woe
their mates.

SO it wasn't for Companionship that
he was making his way arduouSly up
the incline toward the solitary figure
etched sharply against the sun upon
the skyline, contemplating curiouSly
one of the massive bOulderS there.
His eyes had ferreted out the small
greaSeWOod fire upon which something
was cooking long before the scent of
smoke and food reached his nos
trilS.
Food he must have. and Monk
trusted to his powers of verbal per-
suaSion to get it from the tall stranger
just ahead Monk was no lily, but
in parallel with the flower, he toiled
not. neither did he spin . unless
1t was some scheme which invariably
resulted in some other persons dis
comfiture and Monks profit.
The tall man turned slowly at the
sound of Monks scuffling feet as he
topped the rise and stood before the
fire, smiled slowly and turned back
to his contemplation of the high boul-
der. Monk saw that he was sur
prisingly young man, despite the
long whitening hair which glinted
in the sunlight. He also noticed
with some amount of curiosity the
painted inscription blazoned on the
bare rock.
Love one another" he read aloud,
eonverSationally That's a funny
thing to be painted on a rock out
here in this God-fo forSaken desert,
miSter!'
The tall man half turned and
set his paint brush carefully upon
the open paint can at his feet.
Ut SERVES its purpose" he point
out to Monk. I put it there
In the hope that some misguided
person would see it and heed!' Monk
was openly skeptical and said as
much.
Who's going to see u?' he said
practically. "Buzzards and iguanas
and horned toads can't read!"
You read it, and thousands of
others going by on the rails down
below will probably see" the tall
man pointed out But I think you're
hungry. Will you share my simple
meal?"
Monk stared ayidly at the stew on
the fire He watched as the other
produced two small plates from
capacious side pocket and ladled out
equal measures of the stew. They
sat in silence for a few minutes
while the first pangs of hunger were
appeased. Monk kept staring at the
odd inscription.
That's nice lettering. brother" he
said. finally. But l don't get the
angle. What's it for?"
It's my way of attempting to
change greedy mankind from their
thoughtless way And the name is
Salvation Jim, if you care"
But. I mean. where's the per-
centage? Who pays you for putting
in your time in the desert painting

Nobody, my friend. I do it be-
cause I want to do it"
