PAGE TWO The Week in asliiiigton ! A RESfMf, OF UOVEKM1EN! MKNTAI. HAPI'ENINOS IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Washington, Nov. 15.- Now that the final election returns are in and it is definitely certain that the Democrats have even a l2.rgeity in both houses of congress than before. Washington is no longer concerning itself with possible opposition to whatever program the president may adopt. Whatever he wants re car. gel, and ho declares himself, speculation, is rather futile as to what the program of the second Roosevelt administration will be. Washington, as always, is concerned with personalities as much as with issues. One of the most colorful personalities who has been seer; i on Capitol Hid in the past genera- j lion is coming back, to the delight of j the newspaper paragraphers and his' associates in the senate, He is Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. usually referred to as "Jim Hani " Mr liowis has many claims to distinction. He is. for example, lite only in an who ever served in the I United States congress from two i different states. As a young man. with a fiery red beard, he went from I nis native Virginia to the then! pioneer state of Washington in the} 1KfWVs leaned into noli tics ami was! twice elected congressniar.-at-'arge from that state. He served in the j Spanish war, both in Cuba ami thei Philippines. Then he moved to Chi-, ago where he combined politics and I the practice of law. and by 1012 he: had made himself such an important 1 figure in the poliLLeai affairs ol Illinois that he was elected United Shites senator. Best and Worst Dressers For ten years 'Jim Hani ' was missed 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 heard in the senate, hut is easily the best dressed member cf either house of congress. There is rejoicing in Washington, also, over the return to congress of the only other full set of whiskers, those belonging to Representative G. H. Tinkham of the Tenth Massachusetts district. Mr Tinkham U i picturesque figure, although an entirely different type from Senator! Lewis. He pays so little attention to ifc pvis<jtia.i appearance that he is frequently referred to its the worstdressed man in congress. Unlike Senator Lewis, who loses no opportunity to impress his personalilv Jir?r?r? Ih.i tative Tinkiianl is reputed to have! never made a campaign for election.! A new figure in the next congress j whose advent is looked forward to i 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 Theodore Roosevelt's closest friend asul supporter, who was senator from Massachusetts for 30 years Also, he defeated (4ov. Curley of Massachusetts in the senatorial election. Senator Lodge is just barely old enough to be eligible for the senate, in which no one under 30 may ait, by the terms of the constitution. Young Lodge was 34 in July jasL He has the further distinction of being one of the few members of congress whose principal career has been that of a working* newspaper mar.. Young Lodge started on the Boston Transcript in 1923 and in 1924 joined the. staff of the Yew York Herald-Tribune with which he has beer, connected almost down to the present time. Cabinet Changes Hinted Turning from Capitol Hill to the other end of Pennsylvania avenue, where the executive departments of the govemmnt center, gossip about ursor.ali tares focuses lavgely on possible cabinet changes. It see ins to be in tiie cards that the movement to establish a new cabinet department?that of public welfare, will take form before long. This new department woulrl be! charged with duties which now devolve variously upon the departments 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 security act. The new department may also take over the job of 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 i home economics and other phases of ' rural life not strictly agricultural. Some Other Guesses The latest gossip about Donald Richberg i3 that he is to be appointed either attorney general or a member of the supreme court. Justic Stone's illness is regarded as more serious than public announcements indicate, also a possible vacancy or two on the supreme bench may occur.

J McNutt, of Indiana, past common-1* der of the American Legion, will be 1 the successor of Secretary Wood ring. Some Washington gossips are perferctly certain that Mayor LaGuar- ^ * ??1 *?? f trvv 1T/I K. us IV [>?' given SLj ; cabinet post. There is talk of him as j ' the possible secretary of labor. i The belief also grows here that i Secretary ibises of the interior department will be appointed by the1 president to the 15-year post of controller general, succeeding John Mr-j Carl. There is general agreement that Mr. Ickes would bo quite as; meticulous as was Mr. McCarl in i scrutinizing" departmental expendi- i tures to see that they keep strictly ;within the law. There is every reason tn ?*xpdct thai Jesse Jones, chairman of the! Reconstruction Finance corporation, J will continue :n thai post and with1 greatly increased prestige and power In the administration's high councils. j JUDGES ANNOUNCED FOR FACT-FINDING CONTEST Winston.-Salem.

White said today that he has] heard from a majority of the county school superintendents. many prin-! ^ cip&fs, teachers and individual stu- ^ dents.

CV? v. L' - 1" <XI I ion, tAlCI miul I J poultryman at State College. j ] Tn a radio talk on the Carolina; j Farm Features program Friday, No- j vember 20, Mr. Parrish will outline , the steps which are necessary to ] keep hens producing a maximum { number of eggs. Feeding, he points out, is perhaps ; the most important item. No hen. can be expected to do her best unless fed the proper grains, mashes and green feeds. Then the poultryman must pay (strict attention to the housing problem. Poorly constructed and drafty houses are not conducive to high egg production. The houses must be comfortable or the birds will suffer and a consequent decline in the number of eggs will be noted. Mr. Parrish says that inferior "birds should be culled from the flock. These poor producers, if allowed to remain, will bring the average of the flock down sharply. One hundrey Clay county farmers last weak reported soil impioving practices done since the compliance , supervisor visited their farms. fAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVERY ' Cove Creek High Honor Students Ferftft Vltrndwc Seizor Rutli Anderson.
