This feeling accounts for a determination to tighten up on all attempts to transfer what is inherently legislative powers to the executive branch of the Federal government. Actually the "honeymoon period" ended at the special session last summer when under pressure of great emergency Congress clothed the Chief Executive #ith powers no other President ever attained. Today, private talks reveal that the rank and file will "go along with Rooeevelt" not because of -their personal beliefs or inclinations, but solely by reason of the hold the man kas on the .citizenry at this time- The legislators perform in public as would, be expected in accordance with good politics. It, is evident that these lawmakers are wondering just. when the IU>osevelt luck will turn and Congress may romp in the spotlight as the ^people's choice and voice." The major features of the Roosevelt legislative program have not been fully developed. » ° Somehow, Congress accustomed to approving the expenditure of the - people's money cannot readily swallow the latest Roosevelt recommendations raising the national debt to 31 billions. Undoubtedly they will get around to a consent after long debates. The enormous Federal spend ing for relief totaling billions presents a grave problem for the lawmakers. The President hopes to justify a nine billion deficit within two years in recovery measures. Despite beat efforts to minimize criticism of Administration agriculture policies on the part of Democrats, the chiefs of bureaus are due #or grilling by Congressional committees. The wily rrofessor Tug •opim were allotted to each Congressman, but economy forced a reduction of 5,000 for each district. The depression also influenced the print* ing of income-tax blanks as the output decreased by 835,000. Unemployed folks have no interest in filling out income-tax questionnaires.

The committees, particularly whose members are from districts not satisfied with farm matters, will not let Tugwell play ducks and drakes with their dignity. Dr. Tugwell is banking heavily on his friendship with President Roosevelt to steer him past the dangerous shoals of a Senate or House investigation. The bloc system has not been utilised in recent years. The most formidable non-partisan grouj$*organize<l for class legislation was known as the "farm Woe" and held sway in Congress several years ago. The latest development is the formation of the "silver" bloc representing both Republican and Democratic legislators from western silver producing states. It is their intention to force a re-, monetization program dealing with silver coinage. At present they are endeavoring to obtain a definite commitment from the President which would assure the success of their program. 4 With mediocre oratory attracting less^ than 100 listeners as an average audience in the galleries, the cost involved in spreading the speeches through the Congressional Record is tremendous.

Contemplating commercial air service from Manila to Hongkong, H. N. Bixby. Pali-American Airways Shahgha< representative, with Pilots W. S.

Bixby, vjee president and division mapager of the Pacific American Air» ways, Shanghai subsidiary of the Pan- American Airways, and president of the China Airways Federal Aviation corporation, came'to China from New York the first of the year to conduct a series of air route surveys. With hopes of. extending service from Java to the Philippines the Royal' Dutch Air lines, which cover the longest passenger air route In the world, from Java to Holland, and the Royal Netherlands Indian Airways, operating In the Dutch East Indies, are putting out feelers ln« preliminary survey. If the Java-Philippine service materializes it will put"Manila only 12 days or less from Europe by air. Awaiting authorization and the appropriation of necessary funds by the Philippine legislature Is Governor General Frank Murphy's three year aviation program for the Philippines, Involving the expenditure of $631,284 for the three years and $100,000^yearly thereafter. . „ The plans call for- a government aviation unit in the Philippine constabulary to.serve as a nucleus for a national air service. They provide for the organization of one company composed of ten officers and one hundred and thirty-two men, equipped with ten airplanes. U. 8.

During the first year of the three year program 12 Intermediate landing fields at Intervals of thirty miles will be constructed on present air lines between Baguio, Manila, and Ilollo at an expense of $75,500. In the second year the Manila airport will be built at a cost of $100,- 000, while the organization of the constabulary unit will commence. In the third year six airports will be constructed In provincial capitals at an estimated cost of $24,000. Since these airports will be of commercial value to the province, the Insular government contemplates paying for 00 per cent of the cost, the province paying for 40 per cent SOB Gives More Heat to Venus Than to the Earth Venus is only 67,000,000 miles away from the sun, as compared to the 93,- 000,000 miles from tty* earth to the sun. This means, says an authority in the Chicago American, that Venus receives about three-fourths again as much heat from the sun as the earth. Thus the side turned continually towards the sun, and receiving a tremendous amount of heat normally, would be subjected to a steady barrage of the sun's rays. It would be Intensely hot. The dark side would, In all probability, be Intensely cold. It would mean, likely, that despite the planet s nearness to the sun, the dark side would be frozen over. The heavy veil of clouds belting the, planet seems, however, to preclude' such a condition.. f On the other hand, If the planet does rotate on Its axis as it swings throiigh space around the sun, conditions would depend upon the length of the days and nights. If the days were long, the nights would be correspondingly as long. The days would then be exceedingly hot and nighty If lengthy, exceedingly Void. . " It is true Also that .-Venus' cloudlad^ n atmosphere, which would deflect a considerable part of the extra heat it receives from the, sun, might temper its warmth.; This cloud belt Is! exceptionally heavy, it may likely make conditions on -Ventrs extrabrdi-, narily similar to those v>n earth despite the extra solar radiation It receives. No. accurate measurement of the temperatura on Venus has been possible, he said, but scientists generally agree on the estimate of between llH and 125 degrees Fahrenheit. He compared conditions, on Venus with those we believe exist on Mars which, heretofore, has been held to be the one" planet of the remaining seven where life is possible.

Hebraw Language Hebrew, like Latin and Classic Greek, Is a literary, and not a colloquial language.. The «act time when Hebrew ceased to be the living, vernacular language of the Jews is not known. Some Hebraists maintain that they lost the living use of the Hebrew during the Babylonish captivity, but the belief of many Is that they retained the partial use of It for some time after their return to Palestine, and lost it by degrees. There Is no convincing evidence, however, to show exactly when It became a virtually dead language, although there are satisfactory reasons for declaring that It gave place to a corrupted form of the Aramaic language, a mixture of Syrian and Chaldean or Rabylonlsh speech called the Syro-(Tialdaic dialect, Several hundred years before the Chris tian era, and that more than a century before this era It ceased to be used even as a written language and jvas thereafter studied only as the language of the sacred books, by the learned.

The Lovely estate, Lfevelylea, in Virginia, is owned by Smif's brother, Bill-Lee, but he is living la Chile, while the estate ia rented to a Mr. Johnstooe Nesbit. Smif's dearest wish is to own Lovelylea. As "Madame Saitou" she establishes herself at a "Little Sister of the Rich," a consultant. Smif has a client who desires to evade the loverlike pursuit of an extraordinarily stout lady. Later, the lady. Miss Martha Washington Mercede* (Mercy for short), comes to Smif with a story that because of her excess weight she has lost her lover, "Johnny." $oiif adviser her to diet. Mercy proposes that Smif, who is herwlf afflicted with an overabuiKiance of , flesh; tbovld try the "cure,"* and if the results are satisfactory Mercy will follow her example^ Smif con- ;.ie»ts- "Johnny" discovers Smif's identity , and ts himself recognized by Smif as thetenant of Lovely!e*. Johnstone Nesbit. He tells Smif a pathetic story u! his unhapojr childhood. He has a miniature of his (reatfTandinothfr, Lorraine Lovely, also an ancestress of Smif. According to Virginia •traditions, be and Smif are "cousins." Unused to Virginia's ways, his education havbeen English, he thoughtlessly violates the conventions, and is ostracized by hi^ neighbors as "not a gentleman." CHAPTER VI--Continued ' --.17-- "So you Joined up?'* Smif remarked, more interested in this fact than In Miss Mercedes. "In '14," Stone nodded. "I went over at once. I'd been educated in England, remember, and knew a lot of fellows. I was useful as a liaison officer. I was going to transfer to our own forces when we came in. Somehow I didntt. Afraid they'd think I was pu*hiy# myself forward, you know." "You were wounded?" Stone wriggled. "Oh, slightly; Just a scratch. Nothing worth mentlon- Ing." "You might as well tell me how It happened," Smif pressed him inexorably, "I'm noted for my tactlees pertinacity." "Oh, well,--there was a little chap was fond of--we all were. Irish, he\1 been a jockey In early life. Well, some men came in after a raid. Said they'd left him In a Shell-hole, wounded.. He'd begged v'em to go on. It was useless to try to carry him. in. > "Things had quieted down, there Wasn't any danger; so, being fond of him, as I said, I just wandered over to see what could be done for him. That's all there was to It." "Except that you effected a liaison with a (Herman bullet or two," Snilf said dryly. "I see. Absolutely no danger, of course." Then, with a flash of intuition, "I suppose he gave you the emerald horseshoe you so often wear?" , "I always wealr It," Stone corrected her, throwing his coat back to display it "Dennis was killed the first day after that that he was hack at the front. He'd left the pin with the priest with orders to turn it over to me If he went west. It had been presented to him after he won a great race by great riding, and he prised it above everything." A. silence fell between them, each traveling far on trains of thought aroused by what had transpired. "You have friends over there," Smif said at last. "Has It never occurred to you to go back t6 fl»m?" Stone set his Jaw stubbornly. •I'm an American I made up my mind 1U1 Virginia couldn't freeze me out, and by G--fl, I don't mean to let (teem!" There was a passion In the statement and, sensing the spirit that i had carried him through years of ostracism, Smif recognized It as final. At once she dropped the subject and reverted to the topic of Miss Mercedes. , "Did Mercy nurse you?" "I'm alive," was Stone's laconic answer. Then after a minute he took the matter UP again. . "She wasn't a full-fledged nurse, a fact which doubtless saved some more or less valuable lives. I only saw her occasionally In the South. After the armistice In Paris she be gan to cling a little; but her intentions weren't really serious until she grew fat,.. . . A, fat man is the most horrible sight In the world, but to my*:mind a fat woman runs him pretty, close. So I'm counting on you to save pie from her, Smif." "And she's counting on< me to save yotrfor her," Smif pointed out. "May I ask how I am to reconcile my duty to both clients? lVrliaps the best Dvay out of the -difficulty would be. to throw you over." "Too late," Stone asserted*. "It's impossible now to forget I'm youV Cousin. In Virginia, blood counts, you know. You can't throw over a relative. Besides, as a problem I'm much more interesting than she can possibly be. She's only fat. I'muiorbld and introspective and obstinate and a lot of other things I'll tell you about later." . ' "Not much later, If I'm- to preserve the Lovely name unsmlrched," tsaid Smif,*Wr eyes stealing to the clock; "but shouldn't I add a bit of a humbug to the list you've given me? Tm not sure you don't like Miss Mercedes more than you'd have me think you do." Stone made a wry face and shook his head. "Not while she's so fat," he said decisively. "Good night." "Good night," Smif echoed, but already the door was shut between them. She reseated herself to smoke a final cigarette, turning the pages of a magazine and trying to tear her mind away from Stone Nesbit and the position he had maintained so stubbornly for years. It was a useless attempt. > So far as the situation In Virginia went, she was sure she could clear It up if she were on the spot. She promised herself she would make short work of it once she was at Lovelylea. As regards Miss Mercedes, she had stated the case quite frankly to Stone and, after all, wouldn't such a marriage be the best thing for all concerned? Trobably all that Stone wanted was that she should bring pressure on Mercy to Induce her to reduce until she was a more normal size. That much, she was pretty certain, she could manage to accomplish; giving no guarantee, however, that Mercy would continue sylphlike after marriage. "After one has won a race, plainly there is no incentive to keep on running," Smif remarked to m?r- 8elf as she switched off the lights and, with a wide yawn, went hungry to bed. Foreseeing that she would be continually subject to interruption from Miss Mercedes unless measures were taken to prove to her that she had not bought all Madame jSaitou's time, to her great disgust Smif promptly charged that lady for a vi. it she mude in the forenoon to inquire the result of the call at Doctor lllunton's ofllce. While she vaa lingering, Smif answered the telephone, to hear Stone's voice. Be had, It developed, received a mea< sage from Lovelylea. Voltaire was HI. It was necessary for him to take the first train. No telling when he would be back. He had to rush. ... He hurif .up' ahcl so did Smif. Involuntarily her eyes sought Miss Mercedes" face, who, being shrewd In her own way. Interpreted the glance rightly. "That was Johnny talking to you. Don't bother to fib to me, i know It Jyas. I could see you making up your mind whether to tell mfe or,, not." ^ Smif laughed, attempting no denial. ^ "I was doing exactly that," she acknowledged! "I confess Fd like nothing better than to have you go home to Virginia until I'm through with this banting. I fancy "It's going to be very hard on my disposition. Yet I confess 1 do not think your best interest will be serred if you go down to Virginia how." Mprcy lumbered to her feet. "That meaps that Johnny Is going back. Probably I can catch the same train." % "Sit down again. You can't catch his train, because It's' gone. Now pray pay attention to what I'm Celling you. It's for your own good," Smif interrupted her sternly. "I absolutely^cunnot guarantee results to'any client who refuses to be guided by me. Mr. Nesbit is distinctly •Irritated by your pursuit of him. I assure you it would be much better policy on your part to stay away from Virginia for a time. Give him a chance to miss yob--" • ^Do ye*..think, he would?" Tho wlstfulness in Merry's voice was unaffected and moving. "I don't see why not. 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder,' ^ she murmured. "It's an old saw and a true one." "I'll not deny that that is an idea," Miss Mercedes remarked thoughtfully. "I'll think it over. What was It that took him back to Lovelylea in such a hurry?" ' "Who is Voltaire?" Smif asked. She was curious on the point, having been given no opportunity to ask Stone. '"£hose d--n dogs!" Miss Mercedes exclaimed. "When I'm Mrs. Nesbit, I declare I'll poison them." i>niif, who was fond of dogs, began to repent, of her decision to forward her marriage. "French bulldogs," Miss Mercedes went on; "with ugly crumpled-up faces. So clever you hardly dare talk before them for fear they'll repeat what you say. I certainly hate *em. And Voltaire Is the worst. When Johnny goes away he can scarcely be persuaded to eat." Miss Mercedes heaved her fat torso in what was evidently Intended to be a shrug. "Oh, well, he won't last long after we're married. You don't suppose I mean to be called down to Virginia because a dog's in the dumps? And what about Europe? Let me tell you Johnny knows a lot of very Important people in England. There was a Lovely girl married a title this past autumn and he let out to me accidentally that he knew some of the meii In the bridal party. I tried to get Ailm to Invite them to Virginia, 4>ut be wouldn't It wiH fee good for him to go over there aajr and then just to keep up with Ma old friends." This thought had occurred to Smif the night before. Coeiag from Mercy, she found herself revolting against it, while she mentally notfd that Stone ha4 not mentioned either Leister or Ms friends to her. "I can't encourage yea to fo late this marriage, if that is your spirit,'* she said, her voice as cold as Ice. "Mr. Nesbit Is a mature man aad has a right to make his own decisions. Moreover, his home ginia--" (TO BR OONTimnD.) & SLOCUM LAKE A. J. Hefferman was a business caller at Round Lake Monday. Elmer Esping was a caller at Grfcys lake Monday.
