The British Parliament Like the congress of the United States, the British parliament legislates for the whole British nation.
But in addition to this, it takes the place of the separate legislative bodies that used to exist in Scotland and Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, such as in this country can only be made by state legislatures. With regard to the Dominion of Canada, the Australian provinces, and other colonial possessions with legislatures of their own, the powers of parliament are somewhat analogous to those of congress over the states.

That's the pet hobby of H. O. Van Vliet, farmer of East Charlotte, on whose large farm one may hear philharmonic orchestras and 1 concert ensembles from early morning until late at night. The magazine Radio News tells the story follows: "Van Vliet has installed speakers in practically every building on the farm, all of which controlled from a master speaker set in his house. "It all started because Van Vliet, a busy and industrious farmer, is ardently fond of classical music.
But because he had cows to milk, fields to plow, wood to chop and other barn labors to perform, he missed many of his favorite programs. "So he set about remedying that situation. He bought several old speakers- for a couple of dollars each. Using extension cord, he set up a speaker in the woodshed, another in the cow barn, one in the chicken house and still another in the large horse barn. To these he added three in his house; one in the bedroom, a large cabinet speaker in the living-room and another in his kitchen.
The entire layout didn't cost over $12. "He still has one problem unsolved: he can't find a station broadcasting classical music at five a. the hour when he hitches his suspenders and starts out for the barn to milk the cows. The radio minded farmer complains that he has to 'spend an hour or two in the barn the first thing in the morning and all I can get on that consarn radio is jazz music from "Asked if music helps the chickens to lay more eggs and his cows to give more milk, Van Vliet replied, I know definitely that animals like music. When I turn on some soft, pleasing music out in the farm buildings, the hens and cows respond to it immediately, Gran High Class Talking Pictures BREESE, ILLINOIS Thursday, Friday, Saturday May 16th, 17th and 18th Clark Gable and Leslie Howard in "Gone With The Wind" with Olivia de Havilland and Vivien Leigh Matinee Thursday and Friday at 2:30 Saturday Matinee, 10 a.
