REORGANIZATION
ORDER IS KILLED
House Rejects Move To Shift
CAA Into The Com
merce Department

WASHINGTON, May 8.-R-By
the one-sided vote of 1872 to 1853, the
house voted today to kill President
Roosevelt's reorganization o r d e r
shifting the independent Civil Aero
nautics Authority into the structure
of the commerce department.
The resolution rejecting the order
now goes to the senate. Under the
terms of the reorganization act, the
order, despite the house vote, will
lake effect next month unless the
senate also disapproves it.
Today's was the first vote to re-
iect a reorganization order since
congress, in the spring of 1889,
granted the President broad powers
to revamp the executi-, branch Of
the government. Seventy-s e v e II
democrats Joined 1873 republicans
and two progressives to roll up the
tai Of 232 disappearing votes.
Despite the contentious of the
Presidents l%ieutenants that the
transferred CAA would have vir-
tually the same powers as at pres
ent and that some economies would
be effected, the members voted
with lose who argued that the
shift would retard the progress of
civil aviation many years and make
thu CAA subject to bureaucratic
political domination"
The house action, based primari-
ly on objec ons to the CAA shift,
carried down to defeat other re-
grouping proposals in the reorgani-
IL order. One of these would
transfer the weather bureau from
the a, ~iculture wep,, nent to the
commerce department.

stalks where corn averaged llU
bushels per acre, 88 per cent IN corn
Welding 9S bushels, and 81 per cent
where the corn yields were very low.
The different yields were obtained
in tests of the influence of different
rotations on corn production. Four
wear rotations produced SO bushels
per acre, three-year rotations with
mature sweet clover plowed down
produced 10 bushels, and corn
grown continuously produced the low
yields.
The. residues of the corn crops
were disposed of in ways supposed
to be effective in controlling corn
borer but the method of disposal ap-
peared to have less influence on the
borers than the condition of the
growing crop. A two-year rotation
of corn and oats produced 55 bushels
of corn per acre with borers in 40
per cent of the stalks.
Mr.. Foster is no friend of the
corn borers and is not interested in
providing them with comfortable
homes, but he declares that Paulding
county farmers will have as much
difficulty in deriving a living from
low corn yields as the borers do.
He suggests that it is better to give
the borers a few extra bites once in
three or four years with corn pro-
duced once in the rotation than to
ruin the land and partially starve
the borers by growing corn con-
tinuously.

Twas This Way

Ordering From French Menus
q Western Newspaper Union.

VOU may belong to that great
army of people like myself who
can't make heads or tails out OF
fancy hotel menus. Words like pate
de fol gras and hors d. oevres, al
ways make me feel dumb. Even
when the waiter asks me whether
! am ordering a la carte or table
d. hote, I never knew what he was
talking about until I looked it up
recently.
Table d. hote is a French phrase
literally meaning table of the host
or landlord. Up until the middle of
the Eighteenth century, restaurants
and hotels as we know them now
did not exist in Europe. The old
inns were run on sort of family
plan, whereby everyone sat at the
table of the host and took whatever
was put before him.
There were no menus from which
one could order a la carte, which
means according to the bill of fare.
No one could pay for each dish
separately, depending on what he
wanted, but had to pay for the whole
meal whether or not he liked all the
courses. Thus table d'hote came
to mean complete meal served in
courses at regular hours for a fixed
price.
A la carte and other such phrases
were added by chefs who wanted to
give an impressive air to their res
taurant. They can now buy books
with all the French and Italian
phrases written out, and often use
them without knowing what they
mean. But when you get in a tight
spot over one of them, you can al
ways tell the waiter to Bring me an
order of bacon and eggs" They
know what that means in any lam
guage. And then, as final touch,
you might add, ''Sprinkled with par
sley."

Early Combining
Takes Largest
Toll Of Grain

Ohio farmers are becoming more
efficient in the operation of combine
harvesters, but lot of grain still is
wasted by too early harvesting and
by operating the combines with adj
justments and at speeds not recon-
mended by the manufacturer of the
equipment.
Professor G. w. McCuen, agricul-
tural engineer, Ohio State Univer-
sity, believes that beginning harvest
too early is the worst fault of COM
bine operation in this state. The
only sure way to check the time to
cut wheat is to make moisture
test of the grain itself.
Professor McCuen suggests that
farmers shell out pint of wheat
from the field about 10 days after
they would have started binder
and have the sample tested for mois-
ture at the elevator. Wheat that
tests about ID per cent moisture can
be combined safely.
Worries about the amount of
wheat lost by shattering when it is
permitted to stand until dead ripe
are unwarranted because very little
wheat is lost in that way. Several
other types of harvesting losses take
much more grain than ever was lost
in Ohio by shattering.
Too little clearance between the
concaves and cylinder of the COM
bine will increase the difficulty of
separating the grain from the finely
chopped straw. 1t is better to leave
an occasional grain of wheat in the
heads than to grind the straw so
finely that much more grain is lost
through failure to separate.
One farmer who found some un-
threshed grains asked the combine
operator to set up the concaves.
This was done and the loss at the
cylinder was reduced but more than
six bushels of wheat per acre came
through without separation. Read
justment of the concaves reduced
this waste more than five bushels
per acre without increasing the loss
at the cylinder appreciably.
The rate of speed at which to
operate the combine most efficiently
is stated by the manufacturer. The
rate also is influenced by the con-
dition of the crop and by the height
of cutting. Adjustments should be
made in the first round or two, not
after the field is half cut.
Farmers producing both oats and
wheat will find it profitable to let
wheat stand few extra days if the
oats become dead ripe before the
wheat harvest is finished. Oats
lodge and shatter badly when dead
ripe and the liability of loss is much
greater than from ripe wheat.

Uncommon
Americans
She Modelled Lincoln

IN THE rotunda of the United
States Capitol at Washington
stands a statue of Abraham Lin
coin. Among all the sculptured like
nesses of the Great Emancipator
this one is unique. 1t is the only
one which was modelled from life
and it is the work of young girl.
Winnie Ream was her name and
she was born in Wisconsin in 1847.
AS a girl she amused herself by
sketching the Indians whom she saw
when her father, surveyor, took
her with him on his trips in the
West. They were crude sketches
but an old Italian who saw them
recognized her latent talent and en-
couraged her.
When she was fourteen her father
secured a position for her as copy
ist in the post Office department
at $50 a month. She became ac-
quainted with Clark Mills, the fa-
nous sculptor, and while watching
him at work, exclaimed, "Oh, I
could do that if l had some clay!"
Mills told her to help herself and
he was delighted with the progress
which she made.
Then Winnie Ream conceived the
idea of modelling President Lincoln
from life. When this was first sug-
gested to him he refused, but after
talking to the girl and becoming
impressed with her earnestness,
he gave his consent with the under
standing that she was to come to
the White House every afternoon
during his rest period. She was nor
to talk and he was to sit, walk, or
lie down to take a nap, as his
mood dictated.
So for FIVE months she spent part
of every afternoon in his study. As
he lay on the couch she took life
masks of his face and hands. AS
he walked about or sat at his desk,
she sketched his figure again and
again.
After Lincoln's assassination con-
gress decided to erect a statue in
his memory and asked sculptorS to
| submit sketches. Many famous art
lists responded but the work of this
sixteen-year-old girl was the one Sc
lected. In 1869 congress advanced
her $4,000 and she went abroad to
study and complete the statue.
After nearly two years of steady
| work she finished it and it was un-
veiled in 1871.
Winnie Ream later married Lieut..
Richard L. Hoxie but continued her
work as a sculptor until her death
in 1914. She made many other stat
ues and modelled medallions and
busts of many notables, both here
and abroad. But she is best re-
membered as the only sculptor who
ever modelled Lincoln from life and
the pioneer woman sculptor Of
| America.
