@. Who is the oldest man to be-
come United States Senator? Please
tell something about him.. H. c.
A. Andrew Jackson Houston OF
Texas was the Oldest man ever to
enter the Senate. Born June 81
1854, he was appointed to his posi-
ton March %, 1941, by Gov
Lee O'Daniel to fill out the unexpired
term of the late Morris. Sheppard
Previously he had served as United
States Marshal from 1902-10 under
appointment of President Theodore
Roosevelt. He was a candidate of
the Prohibition Party for Governor
in 1910 and 1912. Later he was ap-
pointed custodian of the San ia
cinto battle-ground where his father,
Gen. Sam Houston, crushed the
Mexican army.
Q. On what occasion did Queen
Victoria say, 1--WE are not amused?
&c. N. E.
A. Several stories have been told
of the use of this expression by
Queen Victoria. According to one,
the Queen, after watching an imi-
tation of herself by Alec Yorke, a
young equerry at Buckingham Pal
ace, in 1889, made this remark. Ac-
cording to another, a court official
said to be Lord Palmerston related
a rather risque story in the presence
of the Queen. Although some of
the guests were amused. she is re-
ported to have said: 1--WE are not
amused"
@. Does mildew actually destroy
clothing?-L. N. H.
A. Mildew is fungus growth that
eventually eats into the fibers of
cloth, causing serious and perma-
nent damage. 1t forms in damp,
warm, dark, unventilated places.
Soap and water will remove very
fresh mildew from washable mate
rial. Mild bleaches may be used on
white fabric. If mildew has been
left too long, there is no way of
repairing the damage.
@. How may one put in claim
for an Army foot locker and con-
tents not received from overseas
shipment?-P. M. A.
A. You may address letter to
the Army Personal Effects Bureau,
Kansas City Quartermaster Depot,
Kansas City l, MO, for information
on your personal belongings.
O. How Is tea prepared for the
market?-T. S. E.
A. The first step is spreading the
green leaves on fiat trays for with
ering which takes IL to 18 hours in
ordinary weather. Next, the leaves
go into a rolling machine from
which they pass over a coarse sieve.
Then they are put in fermentation
chambers for five to eight hours of
fermenting. After fermentation they
are fired" in ovens. The dried tea
is poured on tables, picked over to
remove foreign substances and old
or badly rolled leaves The tea then
goes to the cutter and from there
to the sitter where it is separated
into first quality tea, coarse tea
and powdered tea.
@. How many kinds of animals
are there in the world?-G. E. c.
A. The exact number is not known.
Probably 100000 separate forms
of all groups of animals in the
world have been investigated. Half
of these are probably now extinct.
OF the surviving million 1000 to
5000 are mammals.
