like lantern swinging on dark
night, like the eerie, nightmare
sound of the first coyote call you
ever heard on a lonely ride home,
with the moon half hidden under
the moving clouds.
n I was sitting in the Press club
on recent Sunday evening. There
were couple Of correspondents
there but the place was almost de-
serted. A heavy set fellow carrying
walking-stick came in.
Of course we began heckling him
little. But he's equal to it. Leon
Henderson is one of the New Deal
ers who has managed to hold his
ground, winning hate from some, re-
spect from others who disagree with
him all down the line. I'll never
forget one occasion in which he fig
ured. / can't mention the names of
the men present but they were all
legitimate contenders for nominal
ton of the presidency of the United
States. And Henderson offered 10
to l bet that none of them would be
candidates. One, only, got furious
and when it was his turn to speak,
launched into one of his famous in
vectives against Henderson and all
his works. It was a good show but
Henderson proved right in the end.
He won the bet.
TALK ABOUT CRANKS
Well, what we said to Henderson
that Sunday night and what he said
in reply wasn't particularly iinpor-
tant until we got to talking about
the cranks trying to see govern
ment officials with plans for saving
the world.
Then somebody said to Hender-
son: 'Have you met the man who
is communicating with Mars?"
Before he could answer, one of
the cynical listeners who insisted
that the administration was trying
to get us into war, piped up:
II thought you folks were already
in communication with Mars"
mo-" Henderson answered, quick
as whistle, 1--WE aren't trying to
communicate with the god of war,
we are trying to keep away from
him.
Mr.. Henderson left. Representa-
tive Tinkham of Massachusetts
came in. We greeted him. He said
he'd been away.
&. Naturally the talk turned to
boards. For Representative Tink-
ham has a famous beard. A fine
wavy hirsute decoration that makes
him look as friendly as some of the
kindly animals you've seen with SIM
liar appendages. Boards are no
longer the style. ! often regret it

Drop IN Spring Pig Crop

Rise in Pork Prices Considered Likely;
Washington Correspondents Discuss
Filters of War Rumors.

WASHINGTON. pigs is Pigs
that was the name Of one Of the
funniest short stories ever written.
OF course pigs isn't" pigs. They
''is' shoats and hogs and number
OF other things including sausage
and pork chops.
Not long ago the mail carrier
probably stopped at your gate and
asked lot Of irnpertinent questions
about your plans for your porkers
and the other day the department
Of agriculture finished reporting
what the mail carriers reported to
them. The result was the semi-an-
nual Pig Crop report which said
that there would be 10 per cent less
little pigs going to market next
spring than last.
Officially the Agricultural Market
ing Service said this:
''The downswing in hog produc-
ton which began in the spring Of
1910 continued through the fall and
will continue at least through the
spring season Of 1914, the Agricultur-
al Marketing Service reported to-
day. The decline apparently has
been at an increasing rate. The
percentage decrease in the 1910 fall
pig crop was greater than that Of
last spring, and the indicated per-
centage decrease for the spring of
1941 is a little greater than that for
the fall of 1910.
S. 1.-THE fall pig crop of 1910 is esti-
mated at 1875 per cent smaller than
that of 1899. The decrease in the
1910 spring pig crop was per cent.
The combined pig crop Of 1910 is
down 10 per cent from last year but
the crop is the second largest since
1888.
The indicated number of sows to
farrow in the spring season Of 1871
is IA per cent smaller than the num-
Der narrowed in the spring Of 1910.
''This information, from the De-
cember Pig Crop survey, is based
upon returns from 100000 farmers
obtained in cooperation with the
post Office department through the
rural mail carriers"
EXPECT PRICE RISE
Now according to past experience
these estimates have proved to be
pretty accurate and SO the city folks
can expect to have to pay more for
their pork chops and the demand
will probably exceed the supply.
Eventually that may apply to
milk, too, but right now there are

''What does that mean?" asked,

gave me chance to speak again.
Instead of answering me he led me
toward the gangplank over which
the last Of the passengers were
crowding aboard. The smile faded
from his face as he stood there, with
my hand in his. He neither spoke
nor said good-by. But his eyes, as
he looked down at me, did things

TINKHAM WELL KNOWN

But Representative Tinkham is
more than beard. He is a Wash
ington institution. When the gov
eminent purchased well-known
apartment house in the capital, in
which he has had his bachelor quar-
tiers for years, and turned the build
ing into one of the alphabetical agen-
cies, Mr.. Tinkham stood on his
legal rights and refused to move
out.
There he remained among his tro-
phies-heads of wild water buffalo
which he had outfaced in the jurgles
Lions that he had not only out
bearded but beaded; tigers, ele-
plants, tusks and all--and of course,
his own much-photographed beard.
However, it is not merely the fact
that Representative Tinkham has
faced beasts in the jungle that has
made him famous. He has faced
opposition for his seat in congress
since 1915 and has never been de-
feated. And he does it without maxi
ing a speech. Perhaps he is sue
cessful because he has never made
speech. Like the growing of a
beard, that method is different.
And Representative Tinkham has
another distinction. He is MEM
Der of the opposition, if not the '4loy-
al opposition" an opposition which
he considers is based on loyalty
loyalty to his state and his nation.

And with that he turned on his

Creating Things by Hand
Brings Mental Relief

Mental peace through manual
work-that is the kind of workshop
institute, located in Radio City.
Called the Universal School of Hand
icrafts, it is directed by Edward T.
Hall, a gray-haired man.
Into this shop comes the banker
who fashions handmade cocktail
shakers; an executive who weaves
the cloth for his own suits; a So
ciety lady who fabricates pewter
tableware and another who carves
artistic buttons-all because they
believe that nerves, boredom, and
loneliness can be helped by the sat
isfaction of creating things with
their hands.
A frustrated college girl returned
to normal after a course in clay
modelling, while many adjustments
have been made with people over 70.
All walks of life are represented in
this school, such as blind people,
rich lifelorn widows, deaf-mutes,
refugees, cripples and tired business
men and executives.

Raising Of Chinchillas
Not Hard, Saws Expert

William Burns made Sc, 400 in one
Gay recently when four chinchillas
were born on his hah-acre farm in
suburban Brighton, near Rochester.
N. Y. Those mites Of fur, so small
one nestles comfortably in the palm
OF the hand, are ounce for ounce
tne most valuable animal known to
man. Their silky fur, incredibly soft
70 touch, can be made up into splen-
old coats-at about $50, 900 a coat.
They are so scarce that be gets
$500 pair for them from other
breeders.
Despite their high cost, the chin
chlllas are comparatively easy to
raise, according to Burns, who says
ne has the only farm of it's sort in
New York state. The small wooden
nest boxes are entirely bare, and
the chinchillas run and play in small
wire pens. They seem to thrive best
In a climate with wide ranges in
temperatures.
1t costs only about 81 year to
feed chinchillas, but they must have
special, diet. This includes yeast,
wheat, oat middlings, soy bean
meal, yellow corn meal, dehydrated
alfalfa, mineralized salt and bone
meal. The mother is also fed green,
leafy food and orange juice few
weeks prior to whelping.
Burns is pioneer in the Ameri-
can-bred chinchilla industry. In 1882
: the late M. F. Chapman succeeded,
after considerable trouble, in bring
ing II live chinchillas to the United
States from high in the Andes noun
Gains. Guarding the health of his
prizes with blankets and hot water
bottles, he took them to Inglewood,
Calf, and started to raise chinchil-
las.
Burns bought the first pair sold by
Chapman in 1925. Now he has IS,
has sold many pairs and has real
lied an income enabling him to re-
tire from his job as a factory ma
chine operator and give his full time
to chinchilla breeding.

Predicts Dry Spell

A prediction that the United States
is in for a long dry spell has been
made by DR.. Halbert P. Gillette,
member of the American .Geophys-
ical Union.
Having studied ancient and exist
ing lakes and rock strata, he evolved
from them the theory that there are
at least three major weather cycles.
His findings have been checked with
the best available modern data of
Nile floods and American weather
reports.
His conclusion is that three cycles
are working together to bring a long
period of drouths, probably reach
ing maximum intensity about 1860
but that subnormal precipitation is
apt to continue for another so years.
DR.. Gillette suggests that as one
practical application of his findings
the United States should prepare for
continued migration from its dust
bowls.
