Once-President's Geography Failed

One of the Presidents brides Is his knowledge of geography, but he is due for criticism on the geographic composition of the threeman board he named to study freight rates.
 The board was created by the Transportation Act of 1940 as a move to settle the old controversy over regional freight differentials. This has been a stormy issue in Congress for years, the South and West claiming discrimination against them in favor of the so- called official territory"-namely that part of the country lying north of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi.
 The South and West expected to have at least one member each on the board, which Is empowered to recommend important rail rate changes. But to their outraged surprise the three men named by Roosevelt are all from the "0ffi- cial territory"
 They ore Wayne Coy of Indiana, right hand man of Federal Secur- ity Administrator Paul McNutt; Charles West of Ohio, former Under Secretary of Interior; and Nelson smith of New Hampshire. The President made the appoint meHts without consulting any of his Senate leaders, most of them Southerners.
 This was particularly thoughtless because the board has to be con- flrmed by the senate. Also, chairman of the. Interstate Commerce Com inittee, which has Jurisdiction over the matter, is Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana, bitter White House foe; and the leading New Dea member Is Lister Hill, an Alabamar who feels strongly about the rat' issue.
 Hill has no personal complain against the three appointees, but ht Is up in arms over Roosevelt's fail- ure to name a Southerner. If tht President has any idea of getting early confirmation of the board he has another think coming.

to worry any more. That chap in Maine Is afouI of The Law, and he has been slapped down with an $500 fine. The advertising he got In the nickle weekly reached the wardens and the wardens corraled both Trapper Anderson and his airplane- operating assist ant. It takes quite pile of prime beaver pelts to pay 3 fine that size. It's safer to trap more mOdestly, as Nate does, and not have any truck with the wardens.
 We've heard about Anderson before. Herman plummer used to tote supplies in for him, sporting weeklies used to report on his heavy catches. He was front page everywhere. The one thing he overlooked was the fact that war; dens can go where any camera man dares go, and wardens are not concerned with the romance of the wilds. We're sorry for An derson but we're glad he found out how flckle the dear public can De. Wonder If the magazine will ask him to refund the money paid him for posing with all those furs draped around his neck?
 It was colored photography that trapped Anderson. The fad had caught Anderson. The fad to get some mighty fine colored pies these days with quite Ordi- nary cameras. You'll hear more about colored photography soon.
 Trout season is almost here. That game warden down at Poo- tatuck has been making tough faces before 6 mirror for about a month, just to be properly pre- pared for opening day. He can frown so tough ct @ seven-inch trout that the fish sort of curls and is just barely over the legal limit. But 1t will take more than 8 tough game warden to keep peo- pie off the rivers on opening day.
 We pick Shepaug for an open- CT. It's earlier than the P0mper- augh and the Housatonic. The Sheep Hole should be good, the biz hole near Steve Rants should be excellent. Water above Judas Bridge should furnish good sport, too, but that's out of this parish and therefore not SO Weii.knOWn,
 This year, salmon eggs are for sale at most good sporting goods stores. They come in little bottles and are mighty fine trout bait. Worms will be the standby ct this station, but salmon eggs will be @ close second. Don't waste time with flies on the first day, or the first week. Stick to sure bait and you'll get fish.
 Speaking of fish, its about time for alewives to run, too. We haven't any in our streams but the Connecticut River haul is Of- ten heavy. A handful of wood ashes and two alewives to each hill of corn was the old Indian recipe for bumper crops. Lots of simple farmers still believe that that mixture works better than high priced fertilizer. The only trouble is, most of our farmers make milk and are 50 hungry that when they catch alewives, or black snakes, they don't waste them for fertilizer but consume them on the spot.

DR. BARSTOW SPEAKS
 ON RIGHTEOUSNESS

Righteousness cannot be legislated Dr. Robbins Wolcott Barstow. pres- ident of the Hartford Seminary Foundation, told an audience at the First Congregational church last night at the final Lentel lecture sponsored by the church.
 Men have started at the wrong end in reshaping society, he stated. Treaties, covenants, leagues and legislation are the fruit, not the root of right living"
 He went on to stress the need for spiritual strength, stating that fel- lowship of men and women was the essential in support of this tenet.
 MT. Barstow is a graduate of Dartmouth College and Hartford Seminary, and has served there since 1880.

 Dr. Moffatt has delivered the Cunningham Lectures in Edinburgh the Hibbert Lectures in London and spoken on great many notable occasions.

week seeking information about
building priorities and defense
housing, and to make suggestions
as to the application and admin
istration of such priorities. The
men were representing the new
Home Builders Institute of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards.
They found out little about priori-
ties in building, but they made
some good suggestions to the new
Priorities and Allegations Board.
They pointed out that present un-
certainty as to the whole subject of
prioritieS is delaying the building
of needed homes in defense areas,
and asked that definite action be
taken right away to clarity the
muddled picture.
A committee was appointed at
the meeting which will represent
the home building industry on the
whole subject of priority problems.

Scale Drawings Present
Best Ideu Of New Home

Just what Is the relationship be-
tween an architects drawing of a
home to be built and the finished
house? In other words will
the house look as good as the
| picture?
Just as working plans for the
building Of q house are made in
scale" so that parts are shown in
proper size relationship, so too q
perspective" drawing can be plotted
to accurate scale and be so drawn
that 1t is as correct In proportions
as a photograph Of the finished
house taken at the same viewpoint
The average house illustration in
cludes imaginary trees and a full
complement of shrubbery and plant
ing. 1t is in this respect that your
finished home may not resemble
the picture from which you selected
it. Naturally, the site you choose
may not have the trees shown In
| the artists picture, and you may
not have planted as much greenery
as has been indicated.
There is one other point, which
if not watched carefully, can cause
variation between the picture and
the product That is the grading
around the house and the height
of the house above the ground
Most houses look best when placed
near to the ground without toe
much foundation showing and most
designers Illustrate them that way

A prominent Washington builder
lost q sale recently and it wasn't
his fault at all It seems a salesman
was seated in the firms sample"
house on a rainy day early this
month preparing TO wrap up and
deliver one of their shiny, new
dwellings to a prospect across the
table. They had reached the con-
tract preparing stage when the front
door opened very suddenly and
through it rushed the community's S
newest inhabitant, obviously highly
agitated.
Where's the basement draln?' he
yelled at the salesman. There's
two feet Of water in my house!"
The salesman succeeded IN ma
neuvering the new owner to the
kitchen to tell him there was no
basement drain in his home. But
1t came out too late that some OF
the plumbing had been allowed to
overflow. Oh we'll there are a lot
of good prospects about these days.
The Washington Building Con-
gress has undertaken new civic
service for which its members are
particularly well qualified Briefly,
it is a trouble spoilers" reporting
service, and here is how it origi-
mated:
One of the members, on his daily
trip between home and Office, no
ticed that with every driving rain
water backed up at a certain cross
ing, forcing pedestrians into traffic
lanes; that, where an alley crossed
a sidewalk puddles of alley drainage
collected; that certain project
ing curbstone might cause a pedes-
trian to fall into the street.
These detils with others were re-
borted to the Engineer Commission
er's Office, and all of the difficulties
were Strengthened out in a very
short time with small effort. Com
missioner Kutz thanked the con-
gress member and told him he would
welcome all such suggestions.
The proposal for an organized
trouble spotting service was laid be-
fore the Building Congress Board
and received its hearty Endorsement.
The board asked Horace w. Peaslee,
chairman of the Building Code
Committee. to organize the under
taking, and to set up a committee
II necessary. In reporting trouble,
the congress says it does not want
members to make nuisances of
themselves, but wishes to help the
District and to establish a reputa-
ton for helpfulness and good judg-
ment. They have that reputation
already.

CANCER OF LUNG
REPORTED CURED
MONTANA DOCTOR, NOW RESI-
DENT OF SAN FRANCISCO,
TELLS OF SUCCESS

What is hailed by fellow doctors as
major progress in the field OF cancer
surgery was announced by DR.. H
Brodie Stephens Of San Francisco, for
merly Of Anaconda, at meeting OF the
western section of the American Laryn-
geological, Neurological and biological
society.
The doctor reported that cancer o,
the esophagus, once regarded as hope
lessly and invariably fatal, can now be
cured by surgery.
The paper highlighted the session
OF doctors held in San Francisco, and
was given considerable display in news
papers in the bay region.
Speed Is Essential
Reporting at the conference, DR.
Stephens stressed the Importance o!
speed in performing the removal op-
Grafton, once the condition Of carcino-
ma Of the esophagus Is diagnosed.
Symptoms Of the condition are
usually short, averaging from three to
five months" Dr. Stephens was quoted
as saying: Cancer Of the .esophagus
is easily diagnosed. Changes in the act
Immediately should arouse suspicious
Although many Of the cases showed
cancer had progressed to the point OF
incurability nevertheless, the doctor
said. -four Of the II patients made
very satisfactory post-operative re-
covery"
He reported surgical treatment was
first successfully attempted as early
as 1918 but major progress has been
realized in the past three years.
Control Lung Expansion
The doctor attributed the progress
to improved methods of anesthesia: TO
perfected control of lung expansion
and contraction, which enables the
surgeon to spend several hours in the
chest cavity: to increased understand
ing of body chemistry, and to general
improvements in operative technique.
Doctors in Anaconda said DR.. Ste
phens is associated with DR.. Harold
BRUINS, noted lung surgeon in San
Francisco.
