cake. Jt is broken in the fingers and
dunked in warm gravy. One of the
members of the party asked our
host,. M. H. H.- Joachim, about it.
He explained it was made of lay
ers, of -flour. In India, it also has
a historical significance. At the time
of the Indian uprising in 1857, the
natives" could not communicate with
ana another, because of the perfec
tion of the British espionage system.
- But under, the law, the British can
not touch the food of an Indian sol
dier. So the time set for the rebel
lion was hidden between layers of
chuhattee and the uprising occurred
on schedule. Much more about In
dia Mr. Joachim told us, his supply
of information being vast. His home
is in Calcutta. A Hindu, his family
is of one of the highest castes. Edu
cated in Oxford, with a long string
of degrees after his name, he has
been in this country since 1920 and
has lectured on Indian esoteric phil
osophy before all the leading uni
versities. Naturally, we asked Mr. Joachim
about Gandhi, who lately has dis
carded the title of Mahatma. The
answer was strange indeed coming
from a high caste Hindu. In his
belief, Gandhi is one of the greatest
men India has ever produced. The
caste system, he added, is so in
grained in the country that it will
never be eradicated. The Gandhi
has done much to relieve the lot of
millions. Incidentally, Mr. Joachim
called attention to the fact that Gan
dhi originated the sit-down strike.
Becoming serious again, he declared
that even the most submerged In
dian was happier in his lot than
many an American. It is the In
dian's philosophy that sustains him
and gives him ah inner happiness
no matter what his lot may be. In
cidentally, while in Oxford, Mr. Joa
chim made a study of all known
religions. .
As for the restaurant in which
we were eating real Indian food,
badami, dhal, Bombay duck, looch
ies, pappadum, chicken curry
with the hottest chutney I've ever
enjoyed, that caused our host to
smile. It seems that Calcutta food is
different from other Indian fare. In
his travels about the United States,
his constant search was for his own
kind of food. He seldom found it.
When he did in New York, he bought
the restaurant so as to insure a

street but he doesn't mind. Maybe
that's Indian ' philosophy. In pass
ing, it may be stated that while the
name Joachim may not mean much
to the general public, it is different
with "Your Unseen Friend." Yes,
M. H. H. Joachim is that Sunday
afternoon radio speaker, whose pro
gram starts with soft music and
who discusses life problems. In his
possession are more than a half
million letters, most of them vital
human documents.
Not infrequently a paragraph un
der "Public Notices" intrigues my
interest .and excites my fancy. For
instance, this one, which recently
ran several days: "Tumbledown
house on hilltop for sale in Litchfield
Hills, Connecticut. Two miles from
town. No babbling brook. Extensive
grounds for pushing lawn mower.
Bad golf, fishing, shooting, etc.
Twelve acres enclosed by horse
fence adjoining hunt club. Dump
near house with skunks, rabbits and
field mice rattling around. Approx
imately 30 apple trees. Oil burner.
Domestic problems terrible. Price
$29,000." And yet I continue to
dream about a little place some
where far from the madding crowd.
Ss
Again. I've learned something
about cash customers. It seems that
, a number of them carry "discount
cards.'f These cards are issued to
' employees of various concerns or,
in some instances, sent out to mail-,
. ing lists. They entitle the holder to'
a third' off, the holder being . cau
, tioned not to show the discount card
in the presence of other customers.

I WHAT
IS
TAKING
PLACE
BY
UNITED STATES SENATOR j
Some time ago several of my col
leagues, including a veteran of many,
many years of service in the Senate,
were discussing the new responsibil
ities imposed upon Senators, in face
of the fact that the constitutional du
ties have remained unchanged. One
reason, of course, is the great expan
sion of Federal activities and the
spread of these activities in the states.
Another is the direct election of Sen
ators which has served to bring them
closer to their constituents than was
the case in earlier days when mem
bers of the Senate were elected by
Legislatures.
Considerable interest was shown in
the discussion because of the popular
conception of Senatorial duties as
being almost entirely confined to the
law-making on the floor of the Sen
ate. Nothing is at greater varience
with the facts. It would be more near
ly accurate to say that the time spent
on the floor occupies a comparatively
small part of a Senator's time. The
more ardurous duties' are in connec
tion with committee meetings, hand
ling mail, making departmental calls,
receiving visitors and seeking employ
ment for constituents. It is all these
together that require the greater a
mount of physical energy and time.
In addition, a Senator must adjust
his schedule to have time to study
departmental reports, legislative pro
posals and prepare a great variety of
statements and speeches. And as
people generally take a great interest
in government, as has been the case
in recent years, Senatorial duties are
increased through more correspond
ence, without any lessening of other
duties.
In writing on this subject, it is not
my intention to do other than indi
rectly answer innumerable questions
that have come to me from North
Carolina, with reference to Senate
duties. - '
Unfortunately, few Senators have
been able , to devote vthe necessary
time to drafting of a detail report on
the; activities of their offices. , If
they could do so, it would provide in
formation that, would be, to say the
least, most surprising to those unfam

Some years ago, Senator James W

member of the House of Representa
tives, kept a record of a period of
one month. Although the period cov
ered was at a time of normal Fed

tional prosperity, and therefore can
not be compared with present day
activities in Washing-ton, the acts dis
closed are illuminating.
For example, in the monthly period

Twenty-two departmental calls, near
ly an average of one a day. A to
tal of 1041 visitors were received in
the Senator's office, an average of
about thirty-five daily. There were
2301 telephone calls, 174 incoming
telegrams and 67 outgoing telegrams.
The facts with reference to cor
respondence were equally as interest
ing. In the month that Senator Wads
worth kept his record, there were
5571 incoming letters and 3423 dis
patched. This means an average of
206 letters received daily and 127
sent out To this amount must be
added the fact that 328 documents
received for study and 312 were sent
out.
In quoting data gathered by Sen
ator Wadsworth, the purpose is to I
give a glimpse of the manifold duties J
imposed on a Senator's office. It i
effectively answers the many ques-1
tions that have come to me with ref- j
erence to Senatorial duties.
