sions of the 10th congress, the then
Sergeant-at-Arms Wall Doxey ruled
twice within three weeks that, al
though women in Stacks could be
permitted in senate galleries, wom-

dignity of the senate and were to be
barred from the gallery.
All of which moved Sen. Richard
Russell of Georgia to remark:
,"In hot weather, I am sometimes
envious that I cannot wear shorts
myself. Mr.. Doxey is supposed to
be an authority on what creates con-
fusion in the senate, but personally,
I have no objection to shorts" IF

industries. Both Kansas City and
st. Louis rank high as wholesale
distribution centers for the entire
Observation-Disclosures valley. Flour
mills and cereal plants at St. Jo-
seph had tremendous war output.
Missouri is one Of the few middle
states that yet markets ties, lumber,
laths and shingles in large quanti-
ties, supporting more than 800 COM
mercial sawmills. The state has
the largest deposits of lead, zinc
and coal in the Middle West. It also
has valuable clays, building stone
and sands. Missouri produces about
AZ per cent of the annual production
of baryte for the United States.
With its varied topography, Mis-
souri, HAS many scenic attractions.
1t has more than 240 recorded caves,
many with several floors and some
with underground streams. Besides
its many natural lakes, it has Lake
of the Ozarks which was created by
the Bagnen dam across the Usage
river, built in 1929. This lake is 1923
miles long with 1900 miles of shore
line. Big Spring, with measured
daily flow of GAO, 100000 gallons, is
the. largest in the world. All
streams and lakes are stocked with
fish, and the hunting of quail, ducks
and other birds is widespread. The
forests and hills of the Ozark noun
tains are nationally famous.
Spawned by Railroads.
Missouri is one of the leading rail-
road states of the nation, being
served by 10 trunk line roads.
Agricultural products Of Missouri
include two and one-haf billion
pounds of beef annually; one billion
pounds of pork; four billion pounds
of milk; one million pounds Of chick
ems; besides eggs, sheep, cotton,
wool, corn, wheat, tobacco, soy
beans and other crops.

secretary Of agriculture, who has
written the preface to the book.
IF Tony Merrill and his rammed-
earth builders want either my bless
ing or my cooperation" says the
secretary, "they may be assured
of them both"
Rammed-earth, according to Mer-
rill, is term describing "both the
material and the process of wall
building by which earth is tamped
into the shape of a wall or building
block. In essence, a compressed
block or section of earth will, when
tamped, assume the shape of the
form into which. it is pressed and,
when the moisture dries out, harden
into permanent shape suitable
for use as building material"
The reasons set forth by Merrill
as to why, if this method Of building
is SO good it has not been widely
adopted, are logical: One-there's no
money in it, except the money
saved by the builder. Two con-
trary to the impression among sell
ers of building materials, Merrill in
sists it would help rather than hurt
their business. The man who builds
rammed-earth house can't afford
any other kind. And he has to buy
everything-fioor, roofing, plumbing
everything in fact except. the
walls, which are free except for the
cost of the forms and the tamping.
MerrilTs thesis is that anyone
willing to acquire the rudimentary
knowledge of building, can build
rammed-earth house himself with
three, bedrooms, spacious living,
dining and cooking facilities and all
plumbing and heating equipment for
less than $4,000. He can build as

1t didn't seem incredible to Pliny
who heatedly proclaimed that the
Romans had, in Africa and Spain,

Missouri is part of the Ozark
plateau Of Arkansas, and fiat south
eastern Missouri is delta or bottom
land characteristic of the lower Mis-
sissippi valley.
The states diversity is even
pronounced in its people. The
quiet st. Louis business man is
unlike the go-getter from Kan
sas City. The farmer in north
ern Missouri speaks a different
language than the delta agricul-
turist. And the Ozark people
differ from all the rest. On one
thing they all agree: Missouri is
great state! Missourians have
a state pride as deep and fixed

It was relinquished to Spain in 1852,

During the Civil war, Missouri, al
though slave state, furnished 108,-
773 troops to the Union and more
than $4,000 to the Confederate army.
Many Historic Sites.
The state has many sites Of his
toric and prehistoric interest. At
many places are traces Of Indian
villages and camp sites. Indian
mounds and earthworks are numer-
GUS. The old home of U. S. Grant,
built by the general himself, still
stands outside the city limits of St.
Louis. The boyhood home of Mark
Twain .(Samuel L. Clemens) is pre-
served at Hannibal, and statues of
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
have been erected.
Missouri is known as 1.-THE Mother
Of the VEST Inspired by reports
Of the Lewis and Clark expedition,
St. Louis Spaniard named Manuel
Lisa in 1909 organized the first of
the fur-trading companies. Jim
Bridger, first white man to see the
Salt Lake valley, was a Missouri
fur trader. The Oregon Trail led
from Missouri to the Pacific coast,
and Independence, St. Joseph and
other western Missouri towns out
fitted the men who conquered the
West. Eastern terminus of the Pony
Express was at st. Joseph, and the
Santa Fe Trail was blazed from New
Franklin to the Southwest, with the
Santa Fee railroad to follow later.
It was the missouri Compromise"
act of congress that brought Mis-
souri, into the union as state in
1921.
Born in turmoil, it has endured all
the hardships Of pioneering, insur-
rection, reconstruction and modern
competition. Perhaps through the
trials Of generations its people have
learned that a "show me-" attitude is
far safer than naive acceptance of
things at face value!

Solons Haue Good
Laugh on Selues

When Bob Hope or Henry Morgan
or even Senator Claghorn pokes fun
at congressman, that's supposed to
be humorous. It's always open
season on politicians in this country
where people riddle their public Of
ficials with gags instead of guns.
But it is not generally realized
that legislators like to laugh, too
even when the laughs on them. And
at least one of them enjoys congress
sional jokes so much he's written a
350-page book about them.
Compiling the congressional Joe
Miller may seem a far cry from
steering policies of the senate judi
ciary committee, but Senator Wiley
has been working on the humorous
project since 1889 when he first was
elected to the United States senate.
Last year he got around to send
ing letter to all his colleagues in
the house and senate, asking them
their favorite jokes. He was del
uged with stories-good, bad and
corny; and most of them jokes on
or about congress and congressman.
All of which inspired the title Of
his book, "The Laughs With Con-
