DIVIDE THE sPoILs

Senators Thomas and Lee of Ok lahoma have worked out their pa- tronage with reasonable success. Pa tronage can help in election years. The two Oklahomans cooperate Thomas got to name most of the better jobs when he was up for cleo tion in 1888. Lee gets the lions share now. He will be up for reelection in 1940
 Ordinarily Representative names men enly to jobs within his district. If he is a Republican, he names nobody just now. In Ohio, where there are Republican Representa- tives, Senator Donahey becomes the arbitrator in Democratic dis tricts. Senator Taft is Republican so he gets none of the gravy.
 Readers of the Congressional Record will recall that patronage in West Virginia was not amicably distributed between Senators Holt and Nicely Holt claimed Nicely got all the pudding and he filled the Record with scathing indictments.
 The fright of it is members of Congress can't dodge the trouble. Jobhunters make them choose - and then revile them for choosing the other man.

Don't Be Too l Comfortable While Studying

st KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 26.- It's all right to be comfortable while studying, but not too comfortable because learning and relaxation just won't mix, Dr. R. E. Runford, psych- ologist, has advised University of Tennessee freshmen.
 Trying to study while lying down or propped in bed against soft pill lows is drowned upon.
 Effective study means work, and work cannot be carried on lying down." Dr. Dunford said.

SPECIAL GROUP ENDS PROBING
Report on Dual Federal and State Grants Due
 Tomorrow

Hartford, Conn. Dec. 2e-(UP)- State Finance Commissioner O. Glenn Saxon said today the special state committee Investigating dual federal and state highway grants to Connecticut towns has completed It's report and will present 1t tomorrow to Gov. Raymond D. Baldwin.
 The committee, comprising state budgetary and highway officials, has been studying the so-called dual grant system for nearly two months, Towns made Q profit" of almost ei,- 100000 on the dual grants in the past five years, 1t was reported.
 Commissioner Saxon recently au- thorized state auditors to assist sev- eral towns in completing reports la to disposition of the highway money received from the federal and state governments.
 Tn some quarters, 1t was reported the committee would recommend q change in the town aid statutes whereby the state contributes c major portion of highway money to towns which seek additional road facilities.
 In some cases the states contri- button of s7 i-2 per cent of the pro- ject cost, while in others 1t is 70 per cent.
 Any change in this law. however would have to Do accomplished by the general assembly. The house is in control of small town representa-. tiyes who favor the grant system and probably will oppose any change, it was pointed out.
