WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Now
that the final election returns are
in and it is definitely certain that
the Democrats have even a larger
majority in 'both houses of congress
than before, Washington is no long
er concerning itself with possible
opposition to whatever program the
president may adopt. Whatever he
wants he can get, and until ’he de
clares himself, speculation is rather
futile as to what the program of
the second Roosevelt administra
tion will be.
Washington, ats always, is con
cerned with personalities as much
as w'ith issues. One of the most
colorful personalities who has been
seen on Capitol Hill in the past
generation is coming back, to the
delight of the newspaper paragraph-
ers and his associates in the senate.
He is Senator James Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois, usually referred
to as “Jim Ham.”
Mr. Lewis has many claims to
distinction. He is, for example, the
only man who ever served in the
United States congress from two
different states. As a young man,
with a., firey red be.ard, be went
from his native Virginia to the
the.n pioneer state of Washington
in the 1890’s, leaped into politics
and was twice elected congressman-
at-large from that state. He served
in the Spanish War, both in Cuba
and the Philippines. Then he moved
to Chicago, where he combined
politics and the practice of law, and
by 1912 he had made himself such
an itnportant figure in the political
affairs of Illinois that he was 'elect
ed United States senator.
Best and Wioii^st Dressers
For ten years “Jim Ham” was
missing from Washington, but in
1930 he was again elected senator
from Illinois and this month he was
re-elected. Senator Lewis is not
only the only owner of a beard in
the senate, 'but is easily the best
dressed member of either house of
congress.
There is rejoicing in Washington,
also, over the return to congress
of the only other full set of whisk
ers, those belonging to Rep. George
H. Tinkham of the tenth Massa-
chus'etts district. Mr. Tinkham is a
picturesque figure, although an
entirely different type from Sen
ator Lewis. He pays so littl'e atten
tion to his personal appearance that
he 'is frequently referred to as the
worst-dressed' man in congress.
Unlike Senator Lewis, who loses
no opportunity to impress his per
sonality upon the electorate. Repre
sentative Tinkham is reputed to
have never made a campaign for
election.
A new figure in the next con
gress w'hose advent is looked for
ward to with considerable interest
and curiosity is Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, Jr., of Massachusetts.
Mr. Lodge has two definite claims
to distinction. He is the grandson
and namesake of Th'eodore Roose
velt’s closest friend and supporter,
who was senator from Massachus
etts for 30 years. Also, he defeated

Senator Lodge is just barely oU
enough to be eligible for the senate,
in which no one under 30 may sit,
by the terms , of the constitution.
Young Mr. Lodge was 34 m July
last He has the further distmction
0.f being one of the few niembers
of congress whose prmcipal career
has been that of a working news
paper man.
Young Lodge started on the Bos
ton Transcript in 1923 and in 1924
joined the staff of the New York
Herald Tribune With which he ha.
'been connected almost down to the
•present time.
Caibinet Changes Hinted
Turning from Capitol Hill to the
other end of Pennsylvania avenue,
where the executive departments ot
the government center, gossip about
personalities focuses largely on pos
sible cabinet changes. It seems to
be on the cards that the movem'ent
to establish a new cabinet depart
ment—that of public welfare, will
take form before long.
This new department would be
charged with duties which now de
volve variously upon the depait-
m'cnts of labor, interior, agriculture
and treasury. It would take in such
activities as those of the children s
bureau, the administration of the
mother’s pensions, and of many of
the other phases of the social se
curity act.
The new department may also
take over the job of the public
health service which is a bureau of
the treasury. It would include the
bureau of education, which is now
in the interior department, and it
would probably get the bureaus of
the department of agriculture which
are concerned with home economics
and other phases of rural life not
strictly agricultural.
Some Other Guesses
The latest gossip about Donald
Richberg is that he is to be ap
pointed either attorney general or
a member of the supreme court.
Justice Stone’s illness is regarded
as more serious than public an
nouncements indicate, also a pos
sible vacancy or' two on the. su
preme 'bench may occur.
The best bet in Washington as to
secretary of war is that Gov, Paul
V. McNutt, of Indiana, past com
mander of the Am-erican Legion,
will be the successor of Secretary
Woodring.
Some Washington gossips are
perfectly certain that Mayor La-
Guardia of New York is to be
given a cabinet - post. There is
talk of him as the possible secre
tary of labor.
The belief also grows here that
Secretary Ickes of the interior de
partment- will be appointed by the
president to. the 15-year post of
controller general, succeeding John
AicCarl, There is general agree
ment that Mr, Ickes would quite
as meticulous as was Mr, McCarl
1.n scrutinizing departmental expen
ditures to see that they keep strict
ly within the law..
There is every reason to expect
that Jesse Jones, chairman of the
Reconstruction Finance corporation,
will continue in that post and with
greatly increased prestige and pow
er ip the administration’s high
councils.

as ragged edges and too much fat

Cool, Dry Weather Is
Best For Hog-Killing
The best time for killing hogs
on the farm is a cool, dry after
noon, not the coldest day in mid
winter.
On a 'bitter cold day the job is
too disagreeable and there is dang
er of the meat freezing on the
outside before the animal heat
escapes from around the bone.
Ideal butchering weather is in a
temperature of 28 to 40 degrees
ahrenheit, said R. E, Nance, pro
fessor of animal husbandry at State
college.
