Ever since the November cleo
ton the two wings of the party
have been debating what the ma
tons vote meant Did 1t reveal
a countrywide shift away from the
New Deal7 Or could Republican
gains be credited primarily to state
issues and local Democratic quar-
rels?
The dispute comes down to the
fundamental question of New Deal
policy between now and 1910 and
has a strong bearing on nomination
strategy.
Plotted on a map, the cold fig
ures of what happened in the
country's 435 congressional dis
tricts last November will go long
way toward settling the question.
A tabulation Of virtually COM
plete official returns by the Amer
lean Institute of Public Opinion

ton to the New Deal.

Where Irvine Grows

Since the development of the self
binding harvester, growing of sisal
and manila plants for binder Irvine
has come to be large industry in
some of the tropical countries. Sisal
plants are mature in about siS or
seven years, and the cutting of
leaves semi-annually then begins.
The fiber is stripped from the
leaves and dried for shipment to
cOrdage factories. The manila plant
is much like the banana tree, and
the layers Of leaf stalks from which
the fiber is taken resemble onion
stalks in formation. The plant ma
lures in four years. The fiber is
stripped out of the stalks.-Wal-

Arch Bridges Old

Arch bridges date back beyond
the Christian era. The oldest arch,
at Nippur, was built about 1000 B.
c. by the Assyrians. The Pont du
Gard, at Minis, France, was erected
by the Romans in Is B. c. This
three-span arch bridge carried an
aqueduct which brought spring wa
ter from. the hills to the baths Of
Nemansus. 1t was $50 feet long and
100 feet high. The original London
bridge was built over the Thames
some time between the years 1000
and 1900. It consisted of 20 stone
arches, and on it were built houses
and shops. Although it was in al
most constant need of repair. it
managed to last until less than 100
years ago.

The Psychic Hands

The Psychic hands are found but
rarely. They have the length and
beauty of the Comic type, but are
extremely frail-looking and thin.
They appear as if they would break
in pieces if one were to place any
great strain upon them, says writ
er in Pearson's London Weekly.
These are the people who must live
on the beauties of spiritual exis-
tence. The world with its roughness
and jostle completely overlooks and
fails to understand them. This type
of person is generally psychic.
Their close connection with the
things of the other world frequently
gives them the gift of visions and
prophecy. Swayed always by spir-
itual considerations, they look at
everything with the eyes of the soul,
and are rebuffed by crudeness in

..The Man without a Country"

The character Of Philip Nolan in
Edward Everett Hale's story, "The
Man Without a Country" is purely
imaginary. Mr.. Hale explained how
he got the name, from that Of a
man mentioned in the memoirs of
General James Wilkinson, but did
not know that the first name Of this
Mr.. Nolan was Philip until long aft
erwards. The historical Philip No.
Ian referred to by Wilkinson died in
1901, while the fictitious Philip No
Ian invented by Hale appeared first
in 1907. To explain the matter still
further, Hale wrote paper on the
real Nolan and also book called
Phillip Nolan's Friends" about this
same acquaintance of Wilkinson's.

Record Number of Dis

Red Cross for Year

The American Red Cross gave
emergency relief and rehabilita-

157 disasters in the United States
during the fiscal year ended June
80, according to a report sub
mitted by Dewitt Smith. newly

Mr.. Smith said the number
of disaster operations exceed
ed that of any previous year,
with cloudbursts, epidemics,
fires, windstorms, snowslides,
and other catastrophes striking
in 43 states and the territory of
Alaska. Red Cross disaster relief
expenditures totaled $2,276,109
for the year.
Since its founding in 1881 the
Red Cross has aided victims of
2,495 disasters here and abroad,

Last year the Red Cross helped
41,0O0 enlisted men or their families
through its workers stationed at
Army. Navy. Marine Corps and
Coast Guard Stations and through
Red Cross chapters from coast to
coast. Recent Congressional action
to increase the United States armed
forces has necessitated expansion of
this vital service to enlisted men by
the Red Cross.
A grant of 5000 was also made
to the American Hospital in Paris
to evacuate American patients from
the hospital and to purchase in the
United States a 100 bed hospital
unit for shipment to the American
organization, it was said.
To meet needs which were
thought likely to result from bonn
bardment of rural villages and the
passage of hostile armies, the Red
Cross called upon 81 of it's large city
chapters to roll surgical dressings
of a special new type for European
warfare injuries. More than 100000
yards of gauze were purchased and
10000 pounds of cotton, eno1gh to
make $4,000 surgical dressings.
On September 2, the American
Red Cross announced it was organic
ing to meet repatriating American
citizens at seaport cities through
chapter reception committees. Citi-
Zens without resources were given
temporary shelter, and aided to re.
settle in their former homes or
work.
Between September and Z, the
American Red Cross cabled $40, 900
through the State Department to
help American survivors of the
Athena" who had been taken into
Irish and Scotch ports.
Red Cross chapters were instruct
ed to accept funds for the purchase
of supplies for impartial distribution
and funds for purchase of supplies
for a designated country to be ex-
pended through the Red Cross So
city of that nation.
1.-THE Red Cross is not interested
in the origins Of the present con-
flict," Chairman Davis declared fol.
lowing his cabled offer of assistance
to the International Red Cross Com.
mittee. "As part of the great Inter-
national Red Cross it is our duty to
do what we can to aid the helpless
civilians who will suffer during the
ESstilities."
