The announcement that John H. Bankhead of Alabama will seek the seat in the United States Senate once occupied by his father while his brother, William B. Blankhead, holds a seat in the House, suggests that membership in Congress and occu- pancy of other high offices frequently run in fam- ilies. family where father and son served as President and many members have occupied Cabinet posi- tions and high place in the diplomatic personnel much of the time since. One of the family is in the Hoover Cabinet. There have been five gen- erations of Bayards in the United States Senate from Delaware. That State also has sent several du Ponts and Saulsburys to the enate. Grand- father and Grandson Harrison served both as Presi- dent and Senator. There is a Goldsborough in each branch of Congress from Maryland—one of them a Republican Senator and another a Demo- cratic Representative. Maryland has sent 'several Q@oldsbhorough generations of Congress. At one time there were three sets of brothers in the House of Representatives at one time. Judge Landis, czar of baseball,” and his brother represented adjoining districts from Indiana. Claude Kitchen, for many years Democratic leader in the House, and his brother, W. W. Kitchen, at the same time repre- sented two North Carolina districts, and Eugene Foss was a Democratic Representative from Massa- chusetts and his brother, Charles Foss, was a Re- publican Representative from Illinois. Charles Crisp ably represents the Georgia district that honored itself by sending his father, former Speaker Crisp, to Congress for term after term. The Culberson family of Texas, the Elkins family of West Vir- ginia, the Ames mfaily of Massachusetts, the Hoar family from the same State, and many other dis- tinguished families have served their country in Con- gress and other high positions during two or more generations. In nearly all of the instances mentioned, and many others, the honors were conferred on account of the ability of the recipients and not on account of their family ties. Others have been honored solely on account of their names. If rumors are dependable, we may soon see another case of this. It is said that Col. Theodore Roosevelt is about to be made Governor of Porto Rico. MAKE IT A YEARLY EVENT. Adolph Schmidt, Washington State yachting en- thusiast and hotel magnate, probably voiced the unanimous desire of Juneauites when he urged that the Capital to Capital yacht race be continued as an annual event.

(Boston News Bureau.) We find it increasingly difficult to keep our feet on the ground. Transatlantic flights, dirigibles, en- durance tests, and plain commercial flying have car- ried minds as well as bodies into the air. Some of our more cautious citizens have limited their enthus- iasm to supplying capital to the infant industry. This interest in aviation has perhaps partly ob- scured an important development underground. The growth of vehicular tunnels, with the success in particular of the Holland Tunnel, marks an im- portant step in traffic accommodation. At midnight November 12, 1928, the Holland Tunnel had completed its first year of relief from ferry boat congestion. In addition to any such civic contribution, the tubes earned a total revenue of $4,700,201. Operating cost was $150,000, and other charges brought the profit to $3,500,000,—a rather neat return on initial operations. A net return of $5,000,000 is expected for the current year. The tunnel has proved definitely its value to commercial trucking, which travels at a higher rate than the casual passenger car. The price sched- ule lies between 25 cents for motorcycles and $2 for the heaviest truck. In the opening month of tunnel | service, November, 1927, the average toll per ve- hicle was 52.73 cents. By October, 1928, this rate had increased to 5497 cents, and in February of this year it passed 55 cents. Increasing traffic volume provides another basis for the higher estimate for 1929. Opening day cur- iosity established a record travel through the tubes of 51,649 vehicles. The abnormal - traffic of that day foretold the popularity of the' tunnel. The 35-mile speed for passenger cars, the excellent light- ing and better air, and the constant supervision of officers stationed at regular intervals have stamp- ed the project as more than of passing fancy. Motor traffic, consequently, has shown regular progress to a new record volume of 52184 automobiles on a recent Sunday. Other cities have admired New York's suc- cess. One municipality has even risked an inocula- tion; and it has “taken.” The Detroit-Windsor vehicular tunnel has already its first unit beneath the Detroit River. For some months, legislation for the long-needed Boston-East Boston tube has occupied public interest. New York, encouraged by its successful pioneering, now plans a Brooklyn- Bronx and a Brooklyn-Staten Island tunnel in which private capital will share. Society burrows as well as soars. In Congressional circles the freedom of the seas is a trifle compared with the fundamental qsuestion of the freedom of the port.—(Indianapolis tar.)

Nothing is more humiliating than having people who are not as good as you are able to put it all over you because more money. The worst henpecked man is one who closes the door quietly as he goes out after losing the argument with her. It is easy to tell by merely look- ing at a woman whether a rainy Monday means her week's schedule is knocked into a cocked hat, or whether wash day to her is simply a day the laundryman calls to pick up the bundle the servant has got ready The trouble with a sensible wife is that her husband always is get- ting peeved at her because she’s always cramped his style by saving him from making a fool of himself: The barber must get many a chuckle as he rings up four or five dollars on the cash register thinking of the popular notion that women are the vain sex. If a woman sees another woman with a hat exactly like hers she will take it back and exchange it, but if a man doesn't see a lot of other men wearing one like his he’ll con- sign it to the shelf and go out and buy another one that will be exact- ly like those the other men are wearing. The only thing a woman tackles that is harder than trying to make her husband as good as she wants him to be is trying to make her face as pretty as she wants it to be.
