No more complicated “filing” system is needed than a small pnch,e of plain cards on which the name of the book and the date and name of the borrower are written. These cards can be held together with an elastic and placed in | a corner of a desk drawer, or they can | be deposited in a small box, such as Everyday Psychology g | d to express, herself as | with strangers | becoming excited or distraught.

Patent Office. ‘When Joaquin Miller, “the Poet of the Sierrgs,” dwelt in his picturesque log hot on Meridian Hill, where the Mex- ican embassy now stands? A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT THE reputation of Senator George Moses of New Hampshire around Washington is based partly on the fact that his sharp tongue and caustic wit are capable of 50 much devastation in | debate, | Let the flery and bespectacled Moses Joose at any time in the Seunate and | there is sure to be | seen a Dflflmhlflc‘ display that is a | joy to behold and | hear. “Sons of the wild Jackass,” for ex-| ample. A remark | like that delivered in the Moses fash- fon is enough to| bring fame to any man. | ‘Then there’s an- | other job the Sen- . ator doss around | the Capitol, about which very little is heard. And he brings to it an en- thusiasm which at times takes on the?t appearance of a passion. | The job is that of housekeeper for his colleagues in the Senate Office | Building. As chairman of the Rules Commitice he i3 charged with the duty of keeping the Office Building in order. | To hear him tell it, previous house- | keepers of the Senate must have been | negligent. He started right in to remedy the situation. He made the Senate increase | his allowance from $98,000 to $228,000. | He hired & small army of charwomen and gave orders that the white marbie floors and walls were to be scrubbed | until they shone and that they be kept that way. He had the rugs in the Senators’ of- fices pulled out and sent to the clean- | ers. When one Senator thanked him for new rugs, Moses proudly told him they were his old ones washed, and that no new rugs had been bought since the bullding was first put in use. Senator Moses declared war on cock- rosches, and though some Senators re- marked that they had never seen any in their offices, he proceeded to show em. Today he says proudly that there's not a cockroach in the building, and he defies a Senator to produce one. Dirty mops have -been outlawed. Shining brass cuspidors ddorm the cor- ridors. Women with cloths parade the halls and offices searching for specks of dust. There is a pervading atmos- phere of cleanliness and “spickness and spanness” wherever you turn. Some of the Senators were unaware of the transformation wrought by Moses in their quarters. One had the temer- ity to tell him so. Moses, the house- keeper, was on him in a flash. Much as a wife would reprimand an unob- serving husband, he snapped: “There is a very great difference. Not a cockroach in’the place!” | North Carolina farmers purchase about 500,000 t°ns of hay from other States annually. PLUMMER.

He went to see Brookhart of Iowa, Frazier of North Dakota Couzens of Mich! gan and Borah of Idaho. He also vis- ited the new Dem ocratic “Progres- sive” Senator, Cos- tigan of Calorado. Although neither Pinchot nor any of the Senators would discuss what they talked about, political observers were quick to see in the visit an element of presidential politics. Brookhart strengthened this belief by saying_that he hadn't “backed down” as a Pinchot supporter. The Iowan has advanced the Pennsrlvanhn as a candidate of the “Republican Progres- sives” for the presidential nomination in opposition to President Hoover. Perhaps there's a reason why these | Senators are so reticent about what they and Pinchot talked about. Some of them have a way of being quite reg- ular around presidential election time, for all their “insurging” at other times. ‘They are politicians as well as “Pro- gressives."” political history in this country is ex- tensive, Perhaps one reason why they are so reticent is because they hold some choice jobs in the Senate which they might 10se should a third party be born. Such a party might do no more than split the Republican organization, throwing the election to the Democrats. If so, then their committee assign- ments might be lost.

This is the little villain who left taste on that tempting fruit. Her whole family has the habN. Whether it is downright meanness on their part, making the fruit impossible for food, it is hard to say, and one does not like to )u%e unfairly. e family has shield backs. The antennae are five-jointed, the wing covers are hard. Their atomizers are located one on each side of the under part of the body. Not being satisfied with & squirt gun that has quite a range, they have two. They are dressed in armor. ® Their six legs are jointed and strong, the eyes compound, the Jaws strong. This family is a large one and a very malodorous one, too. There are mem- bers which are very great friends of ours. ey go after some of our worst ) pests.

They are often |bronze in color and get very much | darker before hatching time. The up- per part of the egg has irregular rows of short spines and around the edge is a Tow of curved, knobbed spines. In about eight days the insect hatches and outgrow five coats. They grow slowly and change color. Three generations are the average through the Summer. The last set, when grown, seeks the seclusion of sheltering bark and under boards.

Who_lightly fro p awerves 10 abt 1o Bave & touch af Retvee” her Nature. To have heard Peter Rabbit bragging to Molly, the lady friend he had dis- covered over in the Old Pasture, you might have thought him afraid of no one and nothing. That is what Molly pretended to belleve and What Peter wanteds her to believe. As & matter of fact Peter is a very timid fellow. Most rabbits are. He is always ready to jump and run at the least alarm. To do this is second nature, Wwhat he had done when, as he was boasting to Molly of not being afraid of Hooty the Owl, a shadow had moved @cross a pateh of moonlight. He dived headlong into a tangle of briars without waiting to see who had made the shadow. It was the right thing to do, the thing he had been taught to do when he was young and preparing to start out in “the Great World, angd which he had done ever since, “It is better, his mother had ex- plained “to run when there is no cause than to fail to run when there is cause.” But to have to run from the shadow of a harmless old friend like Boomer the Nighthawk, and to jave done it at the very moment he boasting of not being afrald of even that terrihle fellow, Hooty the Owl, was ratfer mortifying. What must Molly think? “Anyway, she ran, t0o, and she prob- ably ran before I did and doesn't know I ran,” muttered Peter in an effort to Testore his self esteem. Molly hadn't run away. She had been safe in a bramble-tangle and had merely slipped away chuckling to her- self, while Peter was trying to reeover his dignity and smooth his rumpled coat. By the next evening, when he found' her waiting at the usual place, he had convinced himself that she hadn’t seen his sudden fright and was sure of it when she told him again, as she had told him so often since their }I{xt m:;ltl;ll. holl' ‘wonderful he was. was that evening that she suggested that he show her the safest in the Old Pasture as he had several times offered to do.
