commencement OF terms of Senators and
Representatives, have been favorably re-
| ported to the judiciary Committee Of the
/ Senate by a subcommittee comprising
Senators Ashurst. Chiffon and CummNns
The question raised by both resolu-
tions have been much discussed, particu-
larry the first. which was one the
campaign issues of the Bull Moos,, party
in 1872 Considerable opposition is known
to exist in the full committee against
both propositions. and II is a question
whether either of them will see the Iigh;
Of the Senate calendar at the next ses-
sion. f
In the House the proposition to change
the inaugural date has been discussed a
number Of times, Representative Henry
Of Texas, usually leading the debate in
favor Of the proposed change. On the
last occasion Of its discussion. however,
the debate took on partisan aspect and
Mr.. Henry temporarily withdrew the
resolution from consideration.

make amendments to the Constitution
easier was prepared by Senator Cum
minis. II makes the following provisions
for amendments:

by the respective governors Of the said
States proposing any amendment the
President shall submit the same to the
several States. and In either case sny
such amendment shalt be valid to all in
tents and purposes as a part of the Con-
stltutlon when ratified by two-thIrds of
the several States. acting either by d.
rect vote OF the people or by the legis-
latures, as may be determined by State
law: provided. that no State, without its
consent, shall be deprived OF its equal
suffrage in the Senate"
The joint resolution seeking to bring
about a change in the inaugural date
was drawn up by Senator Shafroth OF
Colorado. as follows

Commissioners OF Cambridge.
April i. 1913.
At the regular session OF the
Commissioners of Cambridge, on
April 1, 1913, the Chief of Police
was instructed to enforce Ordinance
81, regulating the tax, etc. ,on dogs.
Attention is especially called to
the following section of said Ordi-
nance: INC dog, male or female,
above 3 months old, whether hav-
ing around It's neck the number of
the legally required license or not,
shall be permitted to run at large
within the corporate limits OF Cam
bridge, Md. Every such animal
found running at large within said
town shall be seized and detained
in suitable place for a period of
90 hours, and If not reclaimed and
all costs provided for in the Ordi-
nance paid, at the expiration Of the
time named, (96 hours after seizure)
such dog shall be killed by the
Chief of Police, or someone under
his direction"
On and after April 8, 1913, this
section will be strictly enforced.
By order,
Commissioners Of Cambridge.

Better Paint

Better paint this year If your
property needs it. Mistaken men
have been waiting for paint to come
down. The cost of their job has
gone-up not down; it always goes-up
by WAITING; never comes-down.
Better paint than Devoe? There
isn't any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or
30 years ago for better paint than
Devoe; how long would he have
waited? How long would he still
have to wait?
The price a gallon makes some
difference; yes, but not much; it's
the paint that counts; the quality
counts.
It's the go-far that counts. Pro-
lection of property counts more yet.
Better paint. DEVOE.

Seed Corn tor Sale.

The corn offered for sale was
produced from seed corn that was
brought from the great corn belt
of Indiana last year, and planted
near Cambridge, Md, the result be-
ing highly satisfactory, and We wish
every farmer in Dorchester county
could plant some of the corn this
year. This corn has become accli-
mated, and in our judgment it
will pay handsomely to plant it. The
seed will be carefully selected with
proper regard to male and female
ears and hand shelled. Farmers
try to improve everything on the
farm; why not improve your corn?
This corn has long ears and small
cob and stalk; natures at least 10
days earlier than our home corn.

Churches Mdq Unite.

The most important step ever ia
ken In this country toward the ult1-
mate reunion of all Christians was
announced recently by the Rev. Ar
thur Lowndes, Secretary of the
Christian Unity Foundation. This
was the adoption at a conference
between members of the Disciples
of Christ and members of the Foun-
dalton of a resolution endorsing
proposed form Of agreement be-
tween the Protestant Episcopal
Church and the Disciples of Christ,
whereby the two churches may be
amalgamated and come under one
government.
In making this announcement, DIR.
Lowndes was particular to empha-
size the fact that the conference
was Informal and unofficial. and
that those present were acting as
individuals
The Christian Unity Foundation
is an incorporated body, which was
founded in 1910, by "a men of the
Episcopal Church. Its purpose is
to endeavor to promote the Union
Of Christendom throughout the
world by means of research and
conferences. Its members regard
the complete success of their en-
terpr.se as a possibility of the far
distant future. but in the less than
three years of it's existence, 1t has
laid a foundation upon which that
success may be ultimately reared.
At a conference with the Presbyter-
ians on May s, 1911, the resolu-
lions passed in Australia in 1906
and 1907 by representatives OF
the Church of England, in Australia,
and the Presbyterians, as a basis for
corporate reunion, were taken up
seriatim and passed with some
amendments. At conference with
the congregationalists, on February
liz, 1912, these same resolutions
were passed again. Finally the
resolutions were passed with some
alterations at the conference last
week with the Disciples of Christ.
The alterations were slight, and
tended simply to make the resolu-
lions clearer.
It should be clearly understood
that the work Of the Foundation is
entirely unofficial and distinct from
that of the Commission on a
Worlds Conference of all Christian
Bodies, to consider the Faith and
Order of the Church of Christ, ap-
pointed by the last general confer
ence of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, although its work Is in en-
tire harmony with that of the Com
mission. Such an amalgamation with
the Disciples of Christ as that en-
dorsed In the resolution mentioned,
would have to be approved by the
general convention, which Is the
governing body of the church.
The president of the Foundation
is the Rt. Rev. Frederick Courtney.
Its treasurer is Francis C. Hunting
ton, son of the famous rector of
Grace Church, New York. Its fl
nance committee Is Robert Fulton
Cutting, William F. Morgan, Lawson
Jurdy and William Jay Schieffelin.
The study of their belief and status
has been so we'll received by the
Disciples OF Christ that they order
ed 10000 copies of 1t for distribu-
ton. The publications Of the Foun-
dalton will be furnished on applica-
ton to DR.. Arthur Lowndes, 143

Is It Worth While?

This question Is frequently asked
by business men, by professional
men, by men and women in every
station of life. Failure, apparently,
by the public to appreciate the ef-
forts which they are putting forth
to better business conditions; to
improve existing customs, to bring
about changes that are necessary to
the proper development of the re-
sources Of industry and intelligence.
seem so often met with Indifference,
bv those who will be most benefit
ted, that the question quite natural
" arises.
In many a business concern the
efforts to change from old-fashion-
ed methods to newer and better
ones, are combatted by those who
have grown up under the influences
of a previous generation. While rea-
lizing that the old plan Is not pro-
ducing the results which it should;
while aware OF the fact that COM
petitors who are using more up-to-
date business methods are getting
their business away, yet they still
cling to the old ways, and explain
by saying,"We know all about this
way, but we don't know anything
about that" They are not likely
to ever know, because they are not
looking COR, nor willing to accept,
anything any better than that they
now have. Is 1t, then, any wonder
that while the old business gradual
ly, but steadily, sleeps itself
to death, those who are watch
ing it die, and who know the RENE
dies that are needed, ask themsel-
YES the question, SIS 1t Worth
While?"
Many abuses grow up in the pro-
LESSONS; courtesies are abandoned;
prices are cut; questions of princi-
pie are forgotten; shrewd practices
are often INDUCED in; improper me-
thods are pursued; private character
sometimes suffers; men do things
for the sake Of advancement, COM
mercially or otherwise, which they
hope to hide from the public eye.
Is it surprising that those who de-
sire to see their professions honor
ed: who cherish the belief that
theirs is the grandest occupation in
the world, should wonder at times
Sc after all, it Is worth while?
Is 1t worth while to try and build
up instead of tear down? Is 1t
worth while to try and elevate men
and women; to make them feel that
there Is such a thing as right and
that It will prevail? Is it worth
while to try and show them that,
while the wrong may endure for
time, that It will eventually be
shown up, and that those who are
connected with It must suffer the
consequences? Is it worth while to
show them that the public Is dis
corning and discovers a hypocrite
as quickly as the deed it done,
and that the only one fooled is the
guilty person? After all, it really
does seem worth while, for in ev-
cry direction may be found the
strongest kind of evidence that
the public, while it may not talk,
does perceive and understand, and
that It is worth while to try and
improve along every line.

Tale of . Lost Will.

A lost will found in ceiling at Chatsworth reminds us of the curious case of Lord Hailes' will. He was a Scotch judge. and when he died in l792. as no testamentary paper could be discovered. the heir-at-law was about to take possession of the estates to the exclusion of his daughter and only child. She sent some of her servants to lock up the family mansion. which she had to give up. and from some window shutters there dropped out upon the floor from behind panel the missing will. which secured her all the family estates and property. Why do people take the trouble to make. sign wills properly attested and then con ceal them? Can they enjoy a posthu- nous joEe?-LOndOn Spectator.

 It came to be evident about the mid dle of the last century that, in order to explain certain facts connected with the relative weights of gases, matter must not merely consist of atoms, but that these atoms must have the power of uniting in small groups In form ing compound. indeed, this must be so. For instance. carbonic acid gas must consist of one atom of carbon. which, along with two atoms of oxy- gen, forms small group of three atoms.
 The novelty of the conception was in the notion that oxygen itself. in the state of gas. as it exists, for example. in the air, consists of small groups of atoms; in this case. two. To such small groups of atoms was given the name molecules. A molecule is that portion of substance which can exist in the free state, as oxygen does in air. An atom generally exists in combination. UuI dlOMS Iudy anu SOIueClMcS uO cA- ist separately. in which case they also are termed molecules.
 Now. can molecules be seen? Is their existence a mere assumption? The an. swer to that question is. No, they can not be seen. but artificial molecules can be made which correspond so closely in their behavior to real mole cules that the existence of real mole cules is practically certain. Moreover. although no one has ever seen a mole cule, still the track of a molecule mov- ing through space has been seen, and. just as Robinson Crusoe was right in inferring the existence of man Friday from his footstep imprinted in the sand, so the real existence of mole cule may just as certainly be inferred from the track it leaves.-Sir William Ramsay in Harper's.
