STATUTE BARS ? ???. Provision of Law Hold to Mak< I? Impossible for Mrs. Felton to Qualify.. H.v G??.?t.?! rVrvtee( A cold and unfeeling provision of the law again has its ?? to block the hopes of Mrs W. H. Felton to as sume the ?eat In the Senate to which sh? was appointed as ?uccrssor of the late Thomas E. Wateon, of f?eOrgla. The. lateat plan wa? to have Judge Welter F. Oeorge, the newlv nomi nated Senator, delay the pr? s n*ation to tht? plan if It would enable Mrs. Felton to take her seat. But parliamentarians and experts of his credentials for a few-days after Congress 1? called tn extra eeaaton to permit Mr?. Kelion to be ?worn in and thereby win the honor of being the first woman United State? Sen ator. Judge George himself an nounced h.? willingness to be a party matter today, declared this cannot be on the Senate rules, studying the lone. A? provision of the Georgia ?rtatutes 1? againat It. The Georg.a law provide? that whenever a Senator die? the governor may appoint a suc cessor, who ?hall hold office "until the next regular election following." That apparently settle? it. But If the law had provided that the ap pointee might serve until the regu larly elected successor "qualifies," it then would be possible for Judge '"?corse to hold back hi? credential?? and not qualify until Mr?. Felton had enjoyed the privilege of occupying ?he Senate ?eat for two or three days. If Congres?* should be called in extra session any time before the No vember ejection then, of course, Mrs. Felton would be sworn in and seated. It ia definitely understood, however that the President will not summon Congress until aome timo after tbe election. , airs. Felton 4a now drawing pay aa a Senator from the date of her appointment, and will t-ontlnue to do ao until the night of Novenaber ?, the day before election, at which time the disbursements to her will cease automatically.

' oor HAVE you ever experienced that "shut-in" feeling, an oppressive sense of the nar rowness of your environment, the monot ony of your life, its barrenness of incident and repetition of detail? There-are but few who escape it; few, indeed, whose lives so far transcend the ordinary as to lift them and keep them out of the rut of routine. Yet we stand ever at the threshold of an open door, a wide and invitingly open door, through which we may pass at will and wander, without let or hindrance, through every age and every land, seeing life in its most serene or tempestuous phases, in its most tragic or humorous as pects, its most realistic or fanciful presen tations. The Blessing BOOKS YES, books are a blessing, for they provide this open door to the mystery and misery, splen dor and squalor, sacrifice and selfishness of thousands upon thousands of lives ; aye, all life itself. Through them we may cruise with the Vikings or hunt with the aborigines, ride with Attila's scourg ing hordes or hearken to the diatribes of Savona rola, enter the cloister or invade the harem, walk with bleeding feet o'er Arctic ice or tramp the fetid jungle, scale the lofty heights of the Hima layas pr go down through Death Valley. Through them we can live with and learn of all people of all times of all places.
