The humidity and heat are another contributing factor despite their air-conditioned offices and meetingplace. The only stumbling block is a legislative calendar which is overladen with important measures demanding attention.

H. Freund is making good progress at St. Mary's church. This week the floor is being many pet measures now pigeon-holed i laid in the balcony and doors are beor doomed to eventual extinction by trowding in the hectic final hours of the session. The current and growing sentiihetit for marked changes in the Works Pro. gress Administration together with the pending alteration of the Social Security Act puts many lawmakers on the anxious bench. Despite the tendency of Capitol Hill to indulge in a spending spree this crowd realizes that it would be folly to turn a deaf ear to the mounting public criticism of the W. P. A. tactics. It is reported that powerful forces are blocking favorable action of the so-called Hatch bill, which is designed to prevent illegal political practices with relief funds. On the other hand, the solons are hearkening to the complaints from home folks about enormous wastes in relief money through non-essentiar projects. No doubt the continuous protests about W. P. A. workers refusing jobs in private industry is having an effect. A deputy Administrator issued an emphatic denial recently and claimed "it is getting to be a national folk tale." Unfortunately for the W. P. A. high command their investigations showing "that these stories melt away into nothing but idle rumor" Is i\ot convincing the solans. With funds restricted the legislators feel that the | "brass hats" will be forced to clean I out the loafers and grafters. The W. 1 P. A. fund must be rushed as the authorization for expenditures ends June 30. • . There is a strong but militant group tinkering with the Social Security program of the. Administration in the interests of old-age assistance. The movement is bi-partisan and is an aftermath of the Town send pension bill defeat. Apparently the purpose of hiding present pension rates is to appease the Townsend followers who muster considerable voting strength in several Congressional districts. The latest plan of the coalition Is to boost the Federal government's share to four-fifths of the pension paid in fng fitted. One of the classiest machined seen in a long time is being piloted about town by FYank Justen. McHenry entertained the largest Decoration day crowd that has visited this village in years.

Bickering over the extent of tax relief as a means of stimulating business is revived as the House of Representatives speeds a vote on their plan. It is not as generous as expected, but any modification is considered better than empty promises. It is generally admitted that no marked revision of taxes is to be expected until an approach is made to a balanced budget.

Pictur# -L- taking mixes well with almost any other hobby. full, well-rounded picture record of all the things he does and sees. And such "notebook" pictures add greatly to the pleasure of other sports and hobbies. For example, the hiker or mountain climber may employ his camera^ for pictures of woodland plants and wild life--gradually building up a collection which is genuinely worth while. The hunter records his camps, his kills, the trails and waters he traverses--building up an enviable story of travel and outdoor life. The golf professional may use & home movie camera to make slow-motion pictures of his students, so that they can study their errors on the movie screen--or golfers may take movie* of each other for the same purpose. From these examples, it is easy to see how photography can enrich and broaden other hobbies. It fits in with any of them--and its great virtue is that pictures have lasting value.

Excavating Contractor v. Trucking, Hydraulic and Crane Service --Road Building-- ONE of the fascinating features of photography, as a hobby, is that It fits in perfectly with almost any other hobby or interest. In particular, nowadays, outdoor enthusiasts are finding that picture taking harmonizes admirably with such sports as hunting, fishing, hiking, golf, and other open-air activities. More sports enthu£iasts are taking pictures because modern cameras are so light, compact, and easy to carry; Cameras taking fairly large pictures have been reduced in bulk in recent years, while many fine present-day miniature cameras are so compactly built that they can be carried in a pocket at all times. Operation has been made more convenient, too, so that picture taking is quick and easy. Therefore, the sportsman can use his camera about as he would a notebook, "jotting down" in picture form each interesting detail of his trip or sport actlvities. This is the modern way to use a Camera.

The story goes that Franklin took a slat-back chair and whittled out a pair of rockers for it, so he could really loll in leisure. Though, truth to tell, it's hard to believe that the versatile Philadelphian rocked away much of his life. This rocker was first made about 1750, and by 1800 it was widely used and continued to be a popular American custom till recent years.

Meaning of Name Zachary Zachary is a short form of the Hebrew Zachariah or Zechariah but is used as an independent name. Both mean "remembered by the Lord," writes Florence A. Cowles in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Little is known of Zechariah, Hebrew prophet who wrote the book of the Bible which bears his name, but he was evidently a man of great influence. St. Zacharias was pope in the Eighth century. President Zachary Taylor, who died (1850) 18 months after taking office, is the most eminent bearer of the name this country has produced.
