One Of Crowley's warmest
friends Is Senator Glass, whom he
likes to josh regarding his caus-
tic anti-New Deal views. During
the 1885 campaign the two men
were discussing the political OUT
look, when another senator mis-
chieviously asked Glass why Vir-
ginia hadn't put q candidate In
the field against Roosevelt.
"That's right, Carter" added
Crowley, grlnning, virginia h.

eyes, I know" rctorted Glass,
but she isn't pregnant this
year."
A few weeks ago, when Crowley
told the President he wanted 10
return to private life to head the
$500, 000, 900 Standard Gas a. Elec-
trio Co., Roosevelt looked out the
window for moment, then said:
"Of course, Leo, / can't ask
you 10 stay. This is too big an
opportunity for you to give up.
You've done your share here
long and faithfully. But ! want
you TO know, my good friend,
that your going will leave 0 big
hole, for me personally ana for
the public"
II was characteristic OF Crow
ley that his response was 10 as
sure Roosevelt he would remain
at least until Congress had id

STARVING DUCKS
(tyew London Day.

The appeal Of several organisa.
tons for aid In feeding thousands Of
ducks stranded on the ponds, salt
water inlets and river OF Long
Island Is being met, ct least In part,
by gifts Of grain and similar food
made available by state park ON
cials ana private individuals. But
the need seems likely to continue for
weeks TO come, and the burden will
become correspondingly heavy as
time goes on. The ducks, consisting
mostly Of black scaup and widseoii
varieties, have been winter In the
Long Island area for some years
back instead Of moving on TO
warmer climates. In past years, re-
Gently, they haven't had much DIFF
ficulty getting O living In the area
during the winter, for the salt wa.
ter inlets have not frozen over. This
year, however, prolonged low tenn
peratures and lack Of strong winds
have produced Ice UP to q foot IN
ponds and bays.
The ducks, curiously enough, are
not intelligent enough to know that
they ought to move on to other
feeding grounds when the water
where they are freezes over, ana be.
fore they become weakened from
lack OF food. There are Q number Of
regions, near the bays where these
ducks are stranded that are not
frozen ever, and In them the birds
might be able to get enough 70 eat
to last the winter out. Few made
any effort 10 move, however, when
their feeding grounds froze. Suffer-
ing from lack Of food, they gradually
crew 60 weak they could not move
from the Ice, except To fiutter about
feebiy. In feeding the birds IT has
been necessary 10 take the food
right out 10 them on the Ice, N
many instances. Comparatively
few birds have died % yet; unless
some means can be found Of sys.
tematizing the feeding, however,
some Of them will die within q few
days, IL Is believed.
THE strange part Of II ell u that

climates IN the winter time, not be-
cause they mind the cold but to
make sure Of q constant food gup-

Senators in Washington can now ride
on the small underground railroad be-
tween the Senate building and the capitol
and converse comfortably. The reason Is
that the coaches have been recently
equipped with rubber tires. This small

and carries about two thousand passen:-
gers. The run is a comparatively short
one, but important legislation can be
doomed or Killed in those few minutes.

Selected Poem,
sEA-GHOSTS

EA.GHOSTS
,dgar Daniel Kramer in the New York Times)
When the waves are heaping
Fury on the sands,
Tearing them asunder
With their foany hands,
crouch by the fire
With heart Of fear,
Though 1t amt the waters
And the winds hear,
For 1t amt the white waves
Crashing on the shore,
And 1t amt the wild winds
Pounding at the door.
When the night Is ghostly
With the flying scud,
Biting back my terror
Till I'm tasting blood,
crouch by the fire
In the candle-gleanl,
Needless Of the waters
And the winds that scream,
For my heart is hearing,
Through the awful din,
Long-dead sailors moaning
When they can't get In.
