0ENAToR ARTHUR VANDEN-
- BERG, Republican Of Michi-
gan, and Senator Alben Bark
ley, of Kentucky, are two others
who enjoy q little byplay, now
and then. The subject under
discussion was a certain dam in
the Tennessee Valley and Sena-
tor Vandenberg opined that the
word dam is q relative word,
and that they could make it
stronger or leave it as it is.
Senator Barley objected,
agreed however, that the word
dam is a relative word as an
adjective, but dam as a noun is
not relative at all, and that it
was a noun that he Senator
Barkley) intended discussing at
that moment. Senator Charles
McNary quickly congratulated
Barkley upon being a grammar
ian. Senator Barley chuckled,
Il thank you for admitting that
I am a great grammarian," he
told Senator McNary, then
added, IT suppose l might call
myself a dam grammarian."

from his wife, who is with their
son in Tokyo, Mr.. Kato learned
that she had been no end ex-
cited to see him in a newsreel
busy taking notes at a press
conference given by Secretary
Of State Cordell Hull.
So excited was she that she
practically ran home and sent
their small son and nurse to
zee this same newsreel. Want
ing the boy to be surprised she
cautioned the nurse not to say
anything about Mr.. Kato be-
ing in the picture. When the
youngster returned he didn't
say one word about seeing his
'ather. Finally his Mothers
curiosity got the better of her.

she asked him. The boy nodded.
What did you see?" ques-

enthusiasm, Mrs. Kato con-
sicered this. Didn't you see
Daddy" she asked. "Yes," was
the calm reply. "And what was
he doing?" prodded Mrs. Kato,
gently. The boy looked up.
Nothing" he informed her.

that depth is given by the fact that
Mt. Whitney. highest mountain in

of 1000 feet.
