Representatives.-The chairmen of the Congressional Committees-Indiana's Will R. Wood (Republican) and Arkansas's Will A. Oldfield (Democrat)-each predicted, as a matter of course, that their partisans throughout the land would win or retain enough seats to control the U. S.

At Harvard the case is somewhat more difficult, but the senior class after a year of intimate study of this problem may embody their findings in some appropriate class gift. A suggestion in this matter, pending the decision of the class, is a thick walled glass case for the belfry: though absolutely sound-proof this would enable such legend-loving officials of the University as are known to exist to satisfy themselves that the bell still tolls the hall of dawning...
