Senator Borah. Repn.. Ida., had I been objecting to a lengthy holiday j recess. He gained the senate floor. I “Mr. President,” he said. ‘T have! understood that a precedent has' been established to the effect that ' this concurrent resolution (propos-l ing a recess until Jan. 4.) when of-1 sered. will not be debatable. Is ' that the parliamentary situation in [ case it should be brought up here?' ! "That is my understanding.” re-1 sponded Senator Watson, Repn., I ■

Ind. i “I think a resolution of this kind i is debatable, Mr. President,” per- , sisted Borah. ; "A resolution to adjourn is not > debatable." ruled Vice President i< Curtis. "Then." said Borah, neatly solv-i : ing the sitpation, "let us debate it ' [before it comes in." The health advice was offered by I j Rep. Seger. Repn.. N. J., praising ' I the decision of Speaker Garner to! get along without an official auto- j mobile. Seger said: "I took occasion the other day I to ask some one familiar with the subject how many members own; automobiles. I was informed that' 90 per cent own and ride in auto-' mobiles to and from the daily sess-| ions of congress. That is some- i thing to think about. “However, there are things which j I think, we should be more con-' < ernod. We have lost in the last j 111 months 14 of our friends and | | colleagues. 1 think it is partly true

Early, of Troop 80, bestowed the insignia emblematic of honorary membership in the Boy Scouts of America, upon Representative John N. Garner, of Texas, Speaker of the House of i: Representatives. Tne noted statesman considered it a rreat honor <

that the reason for these deaths is r the lack of exercise, the lack of r proper air. and the lack of proper q food. I do not think that neces-' sarily a man becomes dignified because he rides in an automobile. <i but if he does not ride in an auto- 1 [mobile and walks more, eats less < ■and breathes more of God's free air | ■he will be much better off for it.” t ’ I And this is the way Floor Lead- t er Watson and George W.

Watson—ls the senator from Ne-1 braska follows me as faithfully in this matter as he has in voting for a president pro tempore, it seems to me we are going tc adjourn pretty early this afternoon.

TEMPERATURES CAUSE FIGHTS Harrisburg. Pa., —(UP)—Unseasonably high temperatures of stream headwaters, where fish gather to spawn are blamed for fights, many resulting in fatal injuries, among brown and brook trout, according to C. R. Buller, Deputy State Fish Commissioner in charge of propagation. Along two and a half miles of the South Fork of the Wallenpaupack noted as one of the finest trout streams jn Pennsylvania, Buller said he found 20 brown trout and two b ook trout dead along the shore line. are not caused by the fish endeavorHe explained that “these injuries ing to at each other, but are due to spawning activities. It occurs to a more or less degree each year It is more prevalent and more noticeable this season because of low water conditions.” With streams running low as a result of a long dry spell, a great number of the tiout seek the head waters of the main stream when the spaawning season approaches, he said.
