This ia to nay you can sleep with a sheet over you, at nijrht, and not feel in need of constant ice packs, to keep from melting away entirely. Thanks to the Portland Journal's veteran correspondent here Carl Smith secured a seat in the senate press gallery. Had tickets for the public pallery but all the Beats were taken, because Huey Long was holding hours. The idea of standing up speak, with the mercurv around did not appeal although there otherwise. Fortunately Hiiey's harangue newspaper boys were bored, nearest saloon, or were napping gallery. One or two were writing their stories for the final editions. As a result your correspondent had the press gallery practically to himself, and secured a seat on the rail almost directly over the Kingfish from To us Huey was extremely more or less steadily for seven True he waved his arms considerably and shook his forefinger, about in the air as if it were vim, vigor and conviction. Now cock his eye at the gallery, pass as a wisecrack, but there we were there at least no real humor. But at the least sugges tion of banter or RKATj EFFORT on the part of the Kingfish the gallery would fairly roar the gallery was all that kept Huey going. . Certainlv the senators didn't. his seat all hunched up like a cucumber pickle, with an expres sion on his face that suggested he not only had detected but CONTINUED to detect, an extremely disagreeable odor. Sena tor Robinson of Arkansas, the a few seats from Huey, and was Beach suit hut appeared to be ticked by and he never moved The only two senators who appeared to take the slightest in terest in what the Kingfish was saying were .Senator Clark of Missouri (the son of Champ Clark and looks very much like him) and the large, urbane and chusetts, Walsh. Clark favored portation act that Huey advocated, Walsh opposed it. But neither of them appeared mivh and only injected a few remarks, Senators were constantly going and coming in Huey went out once and came back with his face looking more like that of a sorrowing hippopotamus than ever, both cheeks bulging out and his jaws working industriously perhaps he had crammed in a hot dog sandwich, with one it kept him quiet for five minutes. But five minutes out of seven hours is not long. Huey talked on, walking all over the place as he did so, and actually at times giving the impression, that he couldn't stop if he had so desired. We began to believe his mouth had run away with him so to speak, and that at any moment he mii-'ht snap out. of it and call in the sergeant-at-arms to close it for him. . The other distinct impression we received wag that Huey had been up late tho night before and was suffering from a hang over. His remarks were rambling, bis voice thick, and he had the negligent, loose-jointed, don't-give-a-damn manner of one who had been on a bender and not completely recovered. We know this couldn't he true, for Huey ha.i been on the wagon for many months, hut this was the impression he created. The impression was not lessened, when the vote was finally taken and Huey, as soon as the total was announced showing his defeat, bent, fur over, slapped himself on the thigh, and went into a perfect pnroxyzm of laughter. Strange behaviour it seemed talked for seven hours to save the poor farmers of this country from what ho termed the stranglehold of the railroads. But in the press room, no one was surprised. "Oh that 8 just Huey, win lose or draw he's always a good sport." (iond sport? Seemed more probable that Huey Ijong is essentially an actor, is always for the gallery, that such a demonstration following his defeat is not good sportsmanship, it is merely thnt at heart he doesn't CARE, as long as he can get a hand and put on a good show.

"The medicos are stumped in getting rid of It." the champion liar goea on, "for fear It will snap and caiue Instant death. The last ruse was to stick a mirror down her throat, hoping to at tract the reptile out peacefully. The reader who sent in the clip ping says the thing might well be ignored, considering the source, but he suggests that this same story crops up every little while and probably causes considerable anxiety and wor ry to credulous folk. Invariably It is a woman who unconsciously swal lows the snake egg while taking a drink. The eg, like a good egg, hatches, and the little snake grows and grows, and the poor woman "Im agines things or rather the fishwives gleefully contribute suggestions. Al ways the yarn winds up with a more or less vague Indication of the fan tastic way in which the reptile is coaxed from Its unwonted lair. Snakes are ovovivlparous, not ovi parous, that Is, they do not lay eggs as turtles or crocodiles do, but pro duce only eggs which hatch within the reptile's body. The eggs of a snake are not microscopic but quite sizable. If such an egg were by some odd chance swallowed in water or in food Its fat would be certain death by digestion. Every last one of these morbid yarns Is an Invention of a defective mind. and the story is circulated by morons and moronic publications, of which there are plenty. As the tale is ban died from one halfwit to another. It accumulates salacious additions which lewd tale bearers love.

AS Mr. Blaemor remtrabsra rt. the second Industrial enter prise in tha Rogue River valley (the first was a salt factory) waa a pot tery. It was started by a man nam ed Harm a. He got his clay from a cut bank on the Rogue, and hauled It severs miles in a wagon to hla home, where hla pottery was operated. Th clay was ground up In a crude mill operated by mule power. When brought to the proper con sistency, 1( was shaped on a pot ter's wheel by Mr. Henna' ski Ilea hands'. ej"HE potter's wheel, In case you do not know, Is a flat disc, which Is whirled at considerable speed by a foot-power treadle. The wet clay is placed on this whirling disc and shaped by th potter's hands. The potter's wheel la on or the earliest machines known to have been made by man). Mr. Henna's standard articles of manufacture waa a shallow vessel for holding milk which was probably known as a "crock," that being the usual name for It the country over. The milk was allowed to stand In these vessels until th cream had risen, so that It could be skim med off. Many an older cltleen wilt remember raiding these crocks ana J eating the cream. About all the younger generation knows about cream la that It it something that comes out of a spout on the separator, or from a bottle brought by th milkman. ANOTHER, and rather specialise., article produced by Mr. Hanna s pottery was a lamp made somewhat In the shape of a champagne glass (perhaps tha younger generation, at least, will know what that means) The top of thla lamp waa shaped , like a saucer, and in thla shallow dish oil waa placed and a wick dropped Into the oil and hung over) the edge. Thla wick, when saturates with oil, could.be lighted and usa as a lamp. It didn't give quite as good a light as candles, but waa a lot less trouble. , - IN THOSE days, you see, there wasn't' any Copco, which must have left the politician rather out on a limb. But then there were fewer politicians. ANOTHER standard article oi household equipment in those day a waa a "Brophy" holder. A "Brophy," Mr, Slsemor ex plains, was a little rolled -up spue of paper, and the holder waa the box In which these "Brophlea" were kept. It was placed usually near to the fireplace, and when somebody wanted a light for a candle, or lamp, or a pipe he took one ei these slip of psper. ignited It from the coals of the fire, used It for whatever purpose he had In mind and then carefully extinguished it and put It back In the box for future use.

"The date for the proposed leg islative session is all Important," the committee stated. The progress report recommended a group capitol plan rather than a single capitol building. In Its sum mary on the considerations for sites, and without making any recommen dations, the report states: 1. The sit for the future capitol should be very ample in sire, and In such shape and location that it al low satisfactory development of the approach. 3. A capitol group requires even more space than a single capitol building. This committee recommends a group plan, 3. The old capitol site 1 very In adequate for many reasons. 4. There are only two proposed sites which, in the spi.iion of this committee, might satisfy the require ments: (a) The "Bush pasture" tract or land approached through It to the south. (b) The Willamette university cam pus. Joined to the old site by con demnation of a part of State street. fl. No final recommendation is made at this time. D.A.V. CHIEF SEES M'NARYS DEEEAI PORTLAND.
