TIPS TO
More Combinations

CROP combination is useful with
~ vegetables such as tomatoes,
melons or corn, as well as with
"smaIl garden" crops like rad
isles, lettuce and carrots which
require comparatively less space.
The following combinations are
suggested by Harold Coulter, veg
etable expert of the Ferry Seed
Institute:
Sow dwarf peas early in rows
four to six feet apart; plant radish
between rows of peas, and plant
one row of cucumbers between
every two rows of peas.
Set caulifiower early in rows two
feet apart; one foot on each side
of each caulifiower row plant spin
ach; SOW radishes between spin
ach rows. When radishes are used
set tomato plants in the space
thus vacated. Peppers or egg
plant may be substituted for to-
matoeS.
Sow early turnips in rows three
to four feet apart; later plant a
row of corn between the turnip
rows.
Give ground ample supplies of
fertilizer when combined cropping
is practised extensively.

Silk Patchwork for the Guest Room

a LETTER comes from a read
\ er enclosing rough sketches of
stitches from silk patchwork
quilt. She writes, 81 inherited this
quilt from a great aunt and it is
the final touch of luxury in my
guest room. 1t never occurred to
me that l could make one like it
until l saw your article about
patchwork stitches in the paper.
I am following your advice about
using an old wool blanket as a
foundation-only I am using the
best parts of several worn blan-
kets. l plan to join the blanket
sections with whipped seams and
then arrange my final patches

tive Sam Rayburn, majority leader
of the house, told the President
it would pass with amendments to
which he had agreed. One of these
would enable congress by concur
rent resolution to override any re-
organization proposition the Presi-
dent might put through. Another
would exempt the bureau of edu-
cation from the scope of the bill.
Representative John ]. O'Connor
of New York, one of the leading OPP
ponents of the measure, admitted it
probably would get by with the con-
cessions offered, but said he would
vote against it even if the title alone
remained. He and practically all
other members of the house were
flooded with kilograms and letters
urging that the bill be defeated.
Even after passage by the house,
the measure would have to 60 to
conference and many days or weeks
of debate could be expected there.
Eventual enactment of the bill was
to be expected but the probability
was that it would then have lost
most of the dictatorship" features
which seem so repugnant to many
thousands of American citizens. The
popular opposition had not been less
ened at all by the Presidents ac-
ton in making public letter to an
unnamed friend in which he dis
claimed any intention to become a
dictator and asserted he has none
of the qualifications that would
make him successful in that role.

Help Business" Measure

WHAT Sen. Pat Harrison called
w the "help business" measure,
being the revenue bill as rewritten
by his senate finance committee,
was submitted to the senate.
Though Harrison said he expected
its speedy passage, others believed
at least full week of debate would
be necessary.
Sen. Charles McNary of Oregon,
minority leader promised to support
the bill, saying, II think it is a great
improvement over the house YER
sion. l am in favor of speeding
its passage to help business"
The three chief matters in con-
troversy were:
Administration opposition to elm
ination of the undistributed profits

Adjournment Prospects

CONGRESS wants to adjourn by
~ the first of May, but leaders
foresaw three possible obstacles to
this plan-the wage-hour bill, the
Hungarian debt settlement proposal
and railroad legislation.
Democratic Leader Barley said
he hoped the senate could dispose of
the tax revision bill, the 81, 100, 000,-
600 naval expansion program, and
the proposed $1,000, 100000 relief
measure in April. This would clear
the senate calendar, he said, unless
consideration of Hungary's debt pro-
gram should result in lengthy
senate debate on the entire war debt
question.
Representative Rayburn, house
floor leader, said he thought that
chamber could complete its present
program by May l. But other men,
bers said that if efforts to revive the
wage-hour bill are successful, the
picture may change.

continue to adhere to the IS, OOO-ton
limitation $50 long as no continental
power departs from that standard"
Secret hearings on the 81, 100, 000,-
600 naval expansion bill were begun
by the senate naval affairs commit
tee, with Secretary of State Hull and
Admiral Leahy, chief of naval OPP
erations, as the first scheduled wit
nesses. Chairman Walsh said open
hearings would be held later.
Opponents of the administration S
"big navy" program are rather nu-
merous in congress, though prob
ably in the minority. One of the
most consistent of them is Senator
Clark of Missouri. Commenting on
the invoking of the escalator clause
concerning battleships, he said: "It
is just the preliminary announce
ment of a worldwide naval build
ing race"
The maneuvers of the United
States feet were transferred from
Alaska to the equator for the second

Green Strikes at CLIO.

president GREEN ordered all
affiliates of the American Fedora
ton of Labor to withdraw from La
boris Non-Partisan league, which he
said was overrun by communists,
and to shun any ticket put forward
in the name of an independent po-
litical labor party.
In letter to officers of all A. F.
of L. national and international
unions, state and city declarations
and central labor unions, Green
called for strict adherence in forth
coming primary and congressional
elections to the federation's tradi-
tional non-partisan political policy.
He particularly warned the A. F. OF
LIS 3,500,000 members to be on
guard against candidates nominated
by Labor's Non-Partisan league,
which he called a "ventriloquist's
dummy for the Committee for In
dustrial Organization leaders"

high costs of telephone service have
resulted from depreciation policies
of the Bell system and other prac-
tees involving the cost of manufac-
turing telephone apparatus and
equipment, Standardization policies,
license contract payments, and seq
regation of plant revenues and ex-
penseS.
The report drew a sharp retort
from Walter S. Clifford, president of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company. Clifford described
the investigation of the big tele-
phone system as zone sided from
start to finish," and added: eff the
summary of it correctly reflects the
report, it presents much that is
simply not true and has been pre-
pared with the same unfairness that
characterized the investigation pro-
ceedings."

Italy Ready for War

% EN1TO MUSSOL1NI put chip
- on his shoulder and dared any
one to knock it off. In speech
before the Italian senate which was
broadcast to the world, II Duce
said: "Italy's land, sea and air
forces are tuned for rapid and i'm
placable war" He warned Europe,
and especially France, of his readi-
ness and willingness to fight, and
said he subscribed to the theory
that "the best defense is offense. "
He called the Italian submarine
fleet the largest in the world, said
the nations air fleet was one of the
best in existence, and asserted that,
if necessary, he can put an army
of g, 000, 900 men in the field.
81 will be in supreme command"
Mussolini cried, thrusting out his
chest.
Military problems are funda-
mental Ones" continued Mussolini.
81 dedicate the greatest part of
my day to them. Anyone who dares
to attack the rights and interests
of our fatherland will find in the
land, sea and air the immediate,
resolute and proudest answer from
the Italian peoples arms"
France was warned also by Nazi
Propaganda Minister Goebbels in a
sensational speech in Vienna. Pro-
claiming the might of the new Ger
many, Goebbels shouted: Ger
many is now strong enough to resist
any attack from France. There can
no longer be any question of prom
enade from Paris to Berlin. Paris
is no longer the heart of European
politics. The heart is now Berlin"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-04-14

This would clear the senate calen-
dar, he said, unless consideration of
Hungary's debt program should re-
salt in lengthy senate debate on
the entire war debt question apply
ing to European nations.
Representative Rayburn (Dem.,
Texas), house floor leader, said he
thought that chamber could COM
plete its present program by May l..
But other members said that if eff
forts to revive the wage-hour bill
are successful, the picture may
change.

Loyalist Spain Split

(PANISH insurgents are, at this
y writing, near the accomplish
ment of Francois great objective,
the splitting of the territory held
by the loyalists in the eastern part
of the country. They captured the
ancient city of Lerida, known as
the key to Catalonia.
Further south the rebels were al
most to Tortosa and their vanguard
was actually within sight of the
Mediterranean sea.
All along the Catalonian front the
government troops fought desper-
ately, but it seemed their struggle
was hopeless and observers be-
ieved the war was nearing its
end.

Women Live Longer

Twelve years have been added to
the average woman's life. At the
beginning of the present century,
the average length of life in the
United States was 81 years for
white women. Now the new fig
ures give an average length of 63
years. The added years of life are
credited to improved sanitation,
higher standard of living, labor
saving inventions in the homes and
the advances made in education,
medicine and surgery"

sion to consider an internal loan to
