HE recent unveiling of a statue of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy, ' representative and senator from Georgia and governor of that state, in Statuary Hall in the national Capitol at Washington has added one more to the list of American notables who are honored there. • This ceremony also

brought sharply to the attention of the public the fact that our notables are becoming a bit crowded in this national shrine and that before long congress will have on its hands another “housing problem”—that of providing adequate space for memorializing in enduring bronze or stone the achievements of some of our most distinguished citizens. The law of 1864, which provided for a statuary hall in the Capitol, gave each state the p vL lege of honoring two of its noted citizens with places in this national collection. Since there are 48 states in the Union, the number, therefore, may reach a maximum of 96. As a matter of fact, the addition of the Stephens statue brings the number there now up to only 53, but already the crowding is becoming evident. Those, installed to date form a complete circle, closely spaced around the walls of the hall, with several standing out in front cf those against the wall. The main corridor extending from the senate wing of the Capitol to the house wing passes through the center of Statuary Hall and, although there still is some open space near the center, the placing of more statues would give the chamber . a crowded appearance Indeed. While the situation has not yet become acute, it may soon become so, for at least five more states are said to be preparing to fill their niches. However, officials in charge of the Capitol have been discussing the problem and expect to have a solution ready when the need shall arise. One suggestion is that the statues be extended along the corridors running north, and south from the hall, but even this may not provide enough space. Another proposal is to make use of the crypt of the Capitol, a large vault-like chamber beneath the hall itself and one of the oldest portions of the building. If this is done, it will be necessary to redecorate the crypt and install an adequate lighting system. In installing the statue of Alexander Stephens, the state of Georgia has filled her allotment of two niches. A year ago it filled the first one and honored the medical profession by presenting to the nation a statue of Dr. Crawford Williamson Long, a country doctor, who is declared by many authorities to have discovered the value of anesthesia in surgical operations as a preventative of pain, although his claim to that honor is disputed. The other man for whom it is claimed also is honored in Statuary Hall, Massachusetts having erected there a statue of William T. G. Morton, a dentist of Boston. The statue of Stephens, carved by Gutzon Borglum from Georgia marble, is a fine memorial to a man who was not only the most distinguished Georgian of his time but who whs also a national figure. He was born February 11, 1812, at Crawfordville, Ga., f and was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1832. Physically frail but mentally a giant, he soon made himself known as a member of the general assembly when in the summer of 1836 he made an impassioned speech in favor of the building by the state of the Western and Atlantic railroad, which is today state-owned property and a source of great revenue to Georgia. ~ On November 14, 1860, he made another memorable speech at the state capitol at Milledgeville when the Georgians were considering the question of whether or not their state should secede from the Union. Stephens made an eloquent plea for a solemn consideration of such a momentous step before it was taken and stated that he was not then for secession. Other counsels, however, prevailed and Georgia’did leave the Union. And when the Confederate States of America were organized this man, who had opposed secession, was elected vice president and served in that position throughout the war, although his constant effort was to bring about a reconciliation between the North and the South. Arrested at the close of the war and imprisoned for five months, he was released in October, 1865, and returned to Georgia, where new honors awaited him. He was elected to the United States senate in 1866, but was not seated. Later, in 1873, there was no objection to his taking a seat in the lower house of congress as the representative of a Georgia district, and he served there until 1882, when he was elected governor of Georgia. It was in this capacity that he went to Savannah in February, 1883, to make a speech at the celebration of the sesquicentennial of the city. It was a raw and inclement day. Mr. Stephens caught cold and, returning to Atlanta, died March 4, 1883. Mississippi and South’ Carolina, two other former Confederate states, are also preparing to fill their niches in Statuary Hall with memorials to distinguished citizens who were not only promi-

nent in the war of ’6l to '65 but also men of national significance. South Carolina is already represented there by a statue of John C. Calhoun, senator and vice president of the United States, and she is planning to give the other place to Wade Hampton, soldier and statesman. He. was a distinguished cavalry leader during the war, governor of his state from 1876 to 1878, and later a senator. From Mississippi, authorities at the Capitol are expecting to receive some time in the future statues of Jefferson Davis, an officer in the Mexican war, secretary of war and president of the Confederacy, and J. Z. George, a former senator from Mississippi. Kentucky has taken preliminary steps toward filling Its two niches. Contrary to what might be expected, Daniel Boone will not occupy one of them. Instead they will be filled by Henry Clay, the great statesman, and Dr. Ephriam McDowell, who won fame as a surgeon. North Carolina has filled only one of its niches and that with a statue of Zebulon B. Vance, soldier and statesman. . A number of other states, northern, middle western and western, have not yet made their decisions in this matter, but at least two nave recently chosen their representatives for this honor. California has selected Rev. Thomas Starr King, minister, lecturer and author, and Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary. The next statue to be unveiled in Statuary Hall probably will be Wisconsin’s contribution—Senator Robert M. LaFollette, who died in 1925 after a long public career. His statue is .now being completed in Paris by the famous sculptor, Jo Davidson, and may be put in place this year. It will show the famous orator of the senate in a seated pose. Incidentally the only other seated statues in Statuary Hall are that of Robert Fulton (one of Pennsylvania’s notables) and the recently dedicated Stephens statue. The legislation creating a national statuary hall in what had been the old hall of the house of representatives, grew out of a suggestion made as early as 1854 by Gouverner Kemble, a former member of the house fropa New York. But no action on the matter was taken until ten years later when Representative Atorrill of Vermont offered a resolution providing for such a hall, and another New Englander, Representative Rice of Maine, reported it from joint committee. In support of his resolution Morrill had said: / The expansion of our country ffom the old teen to thirty-six states imposed upon us the burden as well as the privilege of building and extending a structure for the accommodation of the legislative branches of the government, and appropriate for the capitol of the foi nost republic of the world. This work is now a; reaching completion. It appears to me eminently pi -. therefore, that this house should take the initiative in setting apart with reverent affection the old hall of the house of representatives, so charged with precious memories, to some purpose of usefulness and dignity To what end more useful or grand, and at the same time simple and inexpensive, can we devote it than to ordain that it shall be set apart for the reception of such statuary as each state shall elect to be deserving of this lasting commemoration? Will not all the states with generous emulation proudly respond and thus furnish a new evidence that the Union will clasp and hold forever all its jewels—the glories of the past, civil, military and judicial—in one hallowed spot where those who will be here to aid in carrying on the government may daily receive fresh inspirations and new incentives? This was a time when patriotic feeling ran high and congress quickly passed the resolution. For this chamber where the lower bouse of congress met for 40 history-making years was par-

His eyes are very bright, his face is pale and drawn, his arms and hands are ter ribly thin, his movements are restless At the same time he is not at all dazed, like one under the influence of a drug, and though after a few days’ smoking he will drift off into a kind of feverish sleep, during the early periods he is extraordinarily lucid. In fact, it is said that the first effects

of keef are to make the brain work at three times its normal pace. European tourists in the South occasionally get hold of some keef to smoke and complain that it has had no effect at all beyond giving them a sore' throat. This is quite normal, as the fact of smoking a little hemp in a pipe or cigarette will hurt no one if not continued. To feel the effect of keef one must smoke for at least one night through, and three days are necessary to get really poisoned. The danger of an experiment of

ticularly appropriate as a memorial hall. In the words of Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic society: Here Lincoln, John Quincy Adams, Horace Greeley and Andrew Johnson served in the same congress. Here Henry Clay Wdcomed who replied in a speech said to have been written by Clay. Here John Marshall administered the oath of office to Madison and Monroe. When, in 1825, the house balloted in this room for President, John Quincy Adams won over Andrew Jackson. The former, the only man to be elected to the house after being President, was stricken with paralysis suddenly, in this chamber, after delivering an impassioned address; the latter, while President, narrowly escaped an assassin upon leaving this room, where he had attended the funeral of a congressional friend. A bronze star marks the location of Adams’ desk. -- The star happens also to denote a spot where one may hear the whisper of a friend who stands in the corresponding position on the opposite side of the hall. Move away from the spot and -the speaker’s voice fails to carry, even when he speaks loudly. Closed to visitors now is the narrow gallery of the old house, reached by dark, tortuous steps, worn deep by the tread of many feet. In this gallery Dickens gleaned notes for his comments on America’s congress. He called Washington “a city of magnificent intentions.” Close your eyes and see John Randolph stalk in, with squirrel cap and homespun suit, white boots and jingling spurs; he has just galloped through muddy streets from Georgetown. Throwing, cap and coat to his desk, he drinks a glass of porter handed him by an attendant and cuts in on any debate, in thin, querulous, piping voice. Here another type of orator, Edward Everett, just out of the pulpit, charmed his hearers. For some years religious services were held in the old hall of representatives on Sunday afternoons; Lincoln attended them during the war period, when the hall was crowded many churches had been converted into barracks. , The floor of this room was raised to its present level when the hall was converted into an American Westminster abbey. Tradition has it that the lower level of the old floor led to the popular designation of the house of representatives as the “lower house.” It is interesting to note that despite the patriotic impulse which created Statuary Hall, the responses of the states to the invitation to honor their distinguished citizens were not as prompt as might have been expected. Rhode Island was the first to respond by sending statues of its founder. Roger Williams, and its hero of the Revolution. Nathaniel Greene. However, after the lapse of k 19 years from the time of the erection of the first statue, but 18 statues were to be found in the hall and even after more than 30 years there were but 21 monuments in position. At that time (1895) the display was so small that it was thought hardly sufficient to give the large space allotted a proper dignity as a collection of statuary. In order to make the barren appearance less other statues, such as those of Jefferson, » Hamilton, Baker and Lincoln, a plaster statue of Washington and busts of Lincoln, Kosciuszko, Pulaski and Crawford, were exhibited there. Since that time, however, the states have responded with more alacrity to the opportunity. To Illinois goes the honor of being the first to honor a woman—Frances E. Willard—and to Oklahoma the first to honor a "real American”— Sequoyah, the inventor of the Cherokee alphabet Soldiers, statesmen, ministers, pioneers and others whose services to their states have been great have been immortalized there and the renewal of interest in Statuary Hall, which seems now apparent, is in 1928 likely to give the place as much of an over-supply of statues as it had an undersupply a third ot a century ago.

this kind is that the desire to go on may seize one, and once keef has taken hold of a man it is rare to see him give it up. However, it is quite amusing to go to a keef-smoking den, ail the more so as it has to be done in secret and with the connivance of a smoker, as no outsiders know where these little nocturnal reunions take place.—From “Algeria From Within” by R.

CHOLERA SERUM WAS GREAT AID (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Comparatively light losses from hog cholera the last season are the consequence, experts of the United States Department of Agriculture believe, of wider and more intelligent use of anti-hog-cholera serum. T» make more certain the correct use of serums. Dr. D. I. Skidmore, chief of the division in control of the manufacture of serums, ha£ explained in Circular No. 11-C, “Comparative Values of Types of Anti-Hog-Cholera Serum,” the differences between the three types of serum available for cholera prevention, namely, defibrinated-blood serum ; clear, unconcentrated serum; and clear, concentrated serum. The value of each of these types as a preventive depends on the quality and quantity of true serum contained. The .concentrated serum contains 80 per cent of protective serum and the other two varieties 65 per cent each. Consequently, 100 volumes of the concentrated serum have as much preventive effect as 125 volumes of the unconcentrated or defibrinated-blood serums. With this known it is easy to calculate which offers the greater protection per dollar. The department, in supervising the manufacture of the serums, requires that each manufacturer specify the minimum dose of the serutn he sells which should do the immunization in proper form. The doses vary with the quality of the serums and with the age and weight of the hogs to which it is administered. The best time to immunize hogs. Doctor Skidmore says, is before they are eight weeks old. Larger pigs require larger and more expensive doses. An additional advantage is that younger pigs are handled more easily. The clear, concentrated serum has the additional advantage of keeping its strength and preventive power for three years, while the unconcentrated serums are not considered reliable after two years. The added year of usefulness makes it easier for manu factoring laboratories to accumulate a supply sufficient for emergencies.

Silage Makes Baby Beef Production Profitable In our strictly baby beef production cattle feeding our silo is a very important part of the equipment. By using silage we can have our calf crop come from four to six weeks earlier, says a McLean county (Hl.) writer in the Illinois Farmer. Fed on silage for two weeks previous to calving our cows, and particularly our heifers, deliver their calves and raise them as satisfactorily as they late in the spring when on good m-ass. These early calves are ready to wean first in the" fall and Iparn to eat well before bad weather comes. In fact, they are in front all the way to market time. We feed all the oats we raise on the farm, putting the threshed oats on the silage and also in the barn In the bundle. These sheaf oats are fed in racks with a trough underneath to save the shattered grain from wasting. Our system of baby beef production Is the result of two generations of experience id the same game on the same farm. We have found it profitable and very interesting. Silage and alfalfa are two big items to reduce the overhead in this business.

Find Early Colt Gains Are Always Cheapest Early gains are the cheapest gains with colts as well as with calves, pigs and lambs. Hence, it pays to push the young foal along as rapidly as possible, suggests A. B. Caine of lowa state college, and to do this he strongly urges getting the colt onto a ration of grain at as early an age as possible. By supplementing the mare’s milk with grain, the colt should be well started when weaning time arrives, which should be at about six months, Mr. Caine says. Oatmeal is one of the feeds which colts will eat more readily while young, he says. Later, oats, bran and a small amount of corn may be substituted. The celt should be allowed all of the clover or alfalfa hay that it will eat. Grinding grain for colts generally does not pay. Mr. Caine says, especially If the cost of the feed is increased 10 to 15 per cent thereby. Vaccinating Pigs Last fall the principal objection to vaccination came from those who thought that by the use of both serum and virus, the disease of cholera would be brought upon the place. In reality there is little danger in this respect, and whatever danger there may be is more than offset by the benefits, if the work is done in time. The hog, on most farms, represents the source of greatest profit. If the pig crop for the year is lost the profit of the farm is also lost. Ewes Need Care If you like a good many twins tn your lamb crop see that your ewes are gaining in flesh at the breeding season —do this in your own way. But one good way is to change them onto a fresh pasture where grass is abundant ten days before you turn in the ram. If you do not have good fresh pasture, some oats and bran will do the work for you. Os course, you will carefully drench them if there is a possible chance they carry any int , '~nal parasites.

Millions of Families Depend on Dr.Caldweli’s Prescription

When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, back in 1875, the needs for a laxative were not as great as they are today. People lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sunshine. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put into their system. So he wrote a prescription for a laxative to be used by his, patients. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup Pepsin. Under successful management this prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxa-' tive in the world. The fact that millions of bottles are used a year proves that it has*won the confidence of people who needed it to get relief from headaches, biliousness, flatulence, indigestion, loss of appetfte and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and fevers. w Millions of families are now never without Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, and if you will once start using it you

Details of the perfected “Whippet'’ disclose a wider range of colors, employment of full crown fenders, a new cadet sun visor that imparts a smart military effect, and the addition of automatic windshield cleaner, rear view mirror, and a combination rear driving light and stop light. These additions make the “Whippet” the most, fully equipped light car built in the four cylinder field. Consolation Found in Firm Religious Belief I envy no quality of mind or intellect in others —not genius, power, wit, or fancy; but if I could choose what would be most delightful, and 1 believe most useful to me. I should prefer a firm religious belief to every other blessing, for it makes life a discipline of goodness, creates new hopes when all earthly hopes vanish; and throws over the decay, the destruction of existence, the most gorgeous of all lights; awakens life, even in death, and from corruption and decay calls up beauty and divinity; makes an instrument of torture and of shame the ladder of ascent to paradise; and far above all combination of earthly hopes, calls up the' most delightful visions, palms and amaranths, the gardens of the blessed; the security of everlasting joys, where the sensualist and skeptic view only gloom, decay and annihilation. —Sir Humphrey Davy.
