SWIMMERS BALKED
Long distance swimmers who have
shattered English channel crossing
records would meet greater obstacles
in the water gap between the Cali.
fornia mainland and Santa Catalina
Island. This is the opinion of swim
ming experts who point to icy cold
water, continual winds, tides and cur
rents,
Although Catalina channel general
ly. is not as rough as the English
course, it offers many other prob.
lems. Thus far it remains uncon
quered, although numeroug attempts
have been made. |

Water experts agree that an at.

land between Arrow Point on the ln.i
land, and Point Vicente on the main.i
land, is the most feasible, This is u|
distance of approximately seventeen
miles, but twenty-five miles is a con
servative estimate of the distance
that would have to be covered at
thig stretch. Tides, encountered at
opportune moments, might prove of
assistance.

wide where the temperature seldom

DEMOCRATS FIGHTING |
Fighting for control of the next
senate, the democrats plan to con
centrate their efforts in the forthcom
ing campaign in thirteen states where
they believe they have better than
a fighting chance for victory.
To obtain clear-cut control, inde
pendent of support from the republi
can insurgents, the minority must ob.
tain nine additional seats. In other
’words they must win in all except
four of the states where they will
wage their major offensives,
Intensive campaigus are to be con-
ducted by the demociuts in Arizona,
Colorado, Kentucky, Maryland, Mas.
sachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio
and Oklahoma,
Should Senator Robert N. Stanfield,
republican, who was defeated in the
primaries, decide to run as an inde
pendant candidate, the democrats be.
lieve Bert M, Haney, former member
of the shipping board, would win
handily in Oregon. They also are
hopeful that republican ranks in lowa
will again be so split that a democrat
will win over Smith W, Brookhart.
Disclosures hefore the senate cam
paign funds committee regarding the
republigan primaries in Pennsylvania
and Illinois have led some democrats
to predict democratic victory in those
states also but republican leaders are
confident that the nominees of their
party in both states will be swept to
victory,
But should the democrats make a
gain of even five seats, the republi
cang would be left without a real
working majority as they were in
1923,
A long dead-lock over the organiza
tion of the senate occurred at that
time, The final solution was the
election of a democrat — Ellison D.
Smith, ‘of South Carolina—as chair
man of the powerful Interstate Com.
merce committee,
Should the republicans lose seven
of their present 55 seats, neither of
the major parties would have a ma.
jority, leaving the palance of power,
theoretically, at least, in the hands
of a gingle senator — Shipstead, of
Minnesota, the only farmer - labor
member.
' LOUVAIN LIBRARY GIFTS
Louvain library, to which Uncle
Sam stands godfather, is developing
problems,
Foremost is the question of how to
complete the half finished gift of
Americans to devastated Belgium,
with money invested in Belgium
bonds which cannot now bhe disposed
of without an enormous loss on their
;rnce value. It may be years, as a
result, before the million dollar li
brary is completed,
““Next is the problem of hoW to fiieet
the upkeep of the completed unit with
the interest on $125,000, also invest.
od in Belgian bonds. Atop these con
siderations, citizens of the town are
beginning to realize that the famous
library is running away with them.
Where they once had a university
specializing in theology, with a fine
old theological library attached, they
now possess one of the most impor
tant international libraries in the
world with a- university attached
which still specializeg in theology,
What effect the library is going to
have on the university is the question
they are asking.
An unceasing flow of books comes
to Louvain library from nations, so
cietieg and individuals in all parts of
the world. From two to three thou
sand books arrive each month to swell
the 600,000 already given. A staff
of twelve works constantly at index
ing and still thousands of volumes
are uncataloged. Professor’s attics,
private libraries, and even commercia]
‘warehousos are filled with the over
flow of the library, Every cranny of
?l.ouvain is bulging with books and
‘still a generous world keeps sending,
~ln the complete library there will
be space fér 2,000,000 volumes and
Louvain's librarians nevertheless are
grateful for each volume they receive,
no matter what the difficulties its re
ceipt entails for the present.

DR. ELIOT’S MESSAGE TO BOYS
The Progressive I'armer:
The death last week at the age of
92 of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, long
president of Harvard University
makes it fitting that we reprint the
fine mescage he sent sometime ago
to the farm boys who read The Pro
gressive Farmer as given in our
April 24 issue:
“It is a promise of succes in life if
a boy learns by the time he s
twelve years old to use his eyes, ears
and hands, accurately: that is, if he
Tearns to see things exactly as they
are, to hcar the various sounds of
nature and art with precision and
enjoyment, and to toueh or handle
things deftly and effcetively wireth
cr at work or play.
“It is another good sign if a boy
works hard while he works and play:
hard while he plays, and trics both
at work and at play te take a hearty
part in team play
“It is another geod sign if a boy
keeps his senses and his mind on the
glert, watchful to do a serviceable
deed or to perforra a kind act.
“Again the promising boy will be
on the alert for new suggestions, new
lessons, and new objects of interest,
He will not be content merely to
follow the beaten path; he will wish
to explore, discover, and invent.
“I advise all boys on farms and
in villages to join the Boy Scouts
if that orgufiization has been estab
lished in their neighborhood, and to
pass the tests and examinations in
their order, at the appropriate ages.
Finally, it is the diligent, cheerfal
and honest boy who wins success.”
