Six new members join Congress after deaths and resignations
As Congress convenes six fresh faces enter seats long held by men who died or left office since last March. Among them Henry A. Barnhart will succeed the late A. L. Brick. Two newcomers hail from Maine, one from Alabama, one from Louisiana, and one from North Dakota. Also noted is a new 10 cent Special Delivery stamp approved by Postmaster Meyer, featuring a green design with an olive branch and Mercury hat. A Martinton Indiana resident with a string of odd names remains a curious case, while John M. Barnhart of Chicago discusses opening an Elkhart piano branch, to be run by J. W. Reading. Indianapolis moves to ban revolving storm doors in stores ahead of Christmas.
