Senator'S Drop Frotk Goats,

Washington are Disappointed
Ry JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, May Is. - The
visitor to Washington frequently re-
turns home nowadays feeling that
the Senate was disappointing
feature of his sightseeing tour.
He saw the Senate in session.
1t was something of letdown,
particularly after such impressive
spectacles as the black-robed JUS
tees of the Supreme Court in
their marble temple, and the Lin
coin Memorial with its life-like
statue.
Not that Visitor Jones thinks the
Senators failed to comport them
selves as members of the greatest
deliberative body IL the world. y
It's just that they don't look so
great.
To Jones they look just about
the same as the fellows in the
Rotary Club. And Jones recalls
reading in his boyhood of 1.-The
frock-coated gladiators in the ma
tional political arena"
In those days-the early 1900's
most of the Senators wore
Prince Alberts and boards. News
paper correspondents wore silk
hats and frock coats to the open
ing session.

Many persons have said that the
continents of the New World should
have been named in honor Of Chris
topher Columbus. If that had been
the case. our continent no doubt
would be called North Columbia y
Instead of that name. we have
North America. along with South
America. A friend of Columbus,
Americus Vespucius, is the only
man for whom a continent ever
was named.
Yet Columbus has been honored
in the names of several important
places. Canada has British Co.
lumbia and the United States has
the District of Columbia. The State
of Ohio has Columbus as its capi-
tai city. In South America there
is a large country called Colombia.
In the second syllable of that
name. an 20 is used instead of a
'u." This is not mistake. An
old form of the name Columbus is
Colon" and another form is Co
lombo."
Some idea of the size Of Colom-
bia may be gained from this fact:
1t is large enough to hold the
Canadian province of Ontario, with
Ireland put in for good measure.

greatest area are Texas and Cali

Contrary to poular belief, tobacco
was not introduced into Europe by
Sir Walter Raleigh.
The weed was brought to Europe
in 1858 by a Spanish physician,
Francisco Fernandes. Jean Nicot

named, brought the first tobacco to
France in 1850.
1t was not until 1886, when Lane,
first Governor of Virginia, gave the
materials and implements of tobacco
smoking to Sir Walter, that the
latter introduced the habit into the
Court of England.

Like other Latin American coun-
tries, Colombia has a population
made up partly of Indians. Only
about one-fifth of the people are
whites. The rest are Indians or
Negroes. or of mixed Spanish and
Indian descent.
Among the Indians are some
who still carry on their old ways
of wild life. They live in forests
and jungles which are far from
cities founded by Spanish settlers.
