You might as well say, “One pair of wings to a nest full of birds.” What would the other birds do while one was flying? Unlike horses, automobiles do not eat when not working. The “twin ear” idee will spread, especially in suburbs and country where the garage problem is simple. One car for the young people, another for The ere <h»*9«v crop of young ‘atio older people. people, produced by a population of 118,000,000 will keep calling for new cars as it reaches the license age, and will get them.

Ten member e were absent when the vote wa« taken. The bills were* introduced by Repres entatives J. E. Ster.dield, of Aiken. Ih l D. Huff, of Iijurors and 3 T T. Lancaster, Olin Johnston and W. S. Wingo, of Spartanburg. In the Senate, a bill by Senator J. Howard Moore, of Abbeville, to abolish the tax commission, was given - an unfavorable report by the finance com mittee, but, by request of the author, it was permitted to retain its place upon the calandar. Two other measures in the govern or's program g:t of? to favorable .starts in the house.

The sixth week is expected to special message to both houses recom mending consoNdaition of the ware house commission with the State de partment of agriculture, and aboli tion of the Market Bulletin now issued | by the department. A bill was intro duced in the house to 'carry oat the puipoae of the me see g?-. 1 \ Professor Sauerbmeht tells Ger man doctors that forty per cent of consumptives art cured entirely and another forty per cent re turned to useful work by surgical operations on the lungs, cutting out lung patches infected by tubercu losis. The idea is not new. Several years ago this writer saw such an operation performed by Dr. Carrel, the great French surgeon, at the Rockefeller Institute, in the pres ence of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The operation was perform*! on a dog. : Air under high pressure was pumped into the lungs of the'dog to prevent collapse of the lung cells, which naturally would be caused by atmospheric pressure on opening the lung cavity. The op eration was perfectly successful, the dog never knew what happened, felt no nain. Dr. Chrrel, so far as known, has not yet decided to per form the operation on human be ings. It appeared to be simple, took only two or three minutes and less than an ounce of blood was lost Boston y *ur.g women taking • a course in secretarial duties wrote the Ten Commandments in the order of their importance as they saw it Two put last “Thou shalt not kill.” The majority vote put" “Honor thy faither and thy mother” first, an excellent selection, and, last of all, “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy,” which is in keeping with the times.

McCaslki, at Greenwood, said Fri day it was hie expectation to report out the fiscal measure some time dur ing the, week. A subcommittee of the ways and means, the personnel of which has not been disclosed, is sched uled to begin a study of the revenue problem with the object of framing a program fbr obtaining the income nec essary to meet appropriations. The only measure of general appli cation and interest that has become a law as the result of the legislature's first five weeks of labor is an act to repeal the motor vehicle title law, which was signed by Governor John G. Richards Thursday. The repeal bill met with little opposition in either house) a It was the first of the “ad ministration” measures, advocated by the chief executive when he took of fice January 18th, though introduced prior t)> the inaugural, to win legisla tive approval. Two other' bills indorsed by Gover nor . Richards—companion measures providing for abolition of tire State tax commission and transfer of its duties to the comptroller general and State treasurer—won a partial vic tory during the week, when they were given majority favorable, minority un favorable) reports by the ways and means committee.

G request of Representative D. L. Mc- Laurin, of Marlboro, for clarifying of amendments. Committee amend- menta proposed included the placing of certain duties of the board upon the office of the State Bank Examiner — the checking up of paroled convicts, and the investigations of students ap plying for free tuition and scholarships at the State institutions of higher learning. Among the measures passed by the house was the Johns m-Praitt bill to require the installation of sewerage system in all ootbori mill villages within a period of two years. The house saw a movement .started for an investigation of tHe gasoline price situation in . South Carolina and as between this State and neigh boring States. Representtaive Harley, of Barnwell, and Love, of Greenville, introduced a resolution alleging that the large oil companies are discrunin- ating against this State, and provid ing for an investigation by a legisla tive < nmnittee. Both houses passed a resolution fathered by Senator Ouzts, of Greenwood, commending Attomey'- General John M. Daniel for his pre vious investigation into the gasoline situation. Mr. Harley also sponsored a bill' to* tighten up the State’s anti trust laws with a view to preventing some of the practices which he charged the oil companies with fathering. ,. Governor Richards sent another Farmers Give Own Diagnosis Radio Course Listeners Tell What It Matter With South's Agriculture. M ROW I CM cotton—mors cows, vJ sows and hens" la the set found creed of the southeast farmer, according to the first answers received to the “final exam” given at the close of the first radio short course In ag riculture broadcast from W8B, At lanta. by the Sears-Roebuck Agricul tural Foundation In co-operation with the Soil Improvement Committee of the National Fertiliser Association. Ten questions submitted to the stu dents at the close of the course show that the farmer of the south Atlantic state* has been won away from the Idea that he must grow Just one'crop —cotton. “Grow diversified crops that will feed the family, the live stock and the land; let cotton be grown as ■ cash crop and not made to support the entire farm.” Is the way In which one of theep radio students sums up the sltuatldo. It was the aim of the short courts to sell the farmer of the southeast the Ides of raising enough live stock at least to feed bis family, raising enough grain and hay to feed the live stock, and enough cover crops to replace in the soil the elements which are taken from It yfar by year by the contlnu ous growing of crops. The answers to this radio examlna tion indicate that the farmer of the southeast baa learned to pin solid faith in the advice of his county ageut; that he la getting tired of gam bling with one crop farming, and thot he la going in for pure bred seed, as well as pure-bred cows, hogs and chickens. Three cash prizes are to be awarded to the three best examination papers submitted to the Foundation, and announcement of the winners will be made from the Atlanta radio station February 7. , Hello London!
