Growing Old Beautifully"

We are so impressed with the follow.
ing lines from Word and Works that we
pass them on to our home readers:
You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as was the per-
feet bloom of her youth. You wonder
why it is her life has been long and a
happy one. Here are some of the rea-
sons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She kept her nerves we'll in hand and
inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from her
friends.
She made whatever work that came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did not
believe the whole world wicked and un-
kind.
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowful
She never forgot that kind words and
smile cost nothing, but are priceless
treasures TO the discouraged.
she did unto Others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has come
to her and ihere is halo of white hail

Points of Constitutional Law.

Congress may admit as many new
States as desired.
One State cannot undo the act of an
other.
A power which is vested in Congress
alone cannot be exercised by State.
Congress cannot pass law to punish
for a crime already committed.
A person who commits felony in one
State cannot legally find refuge in an
other.
Bills for revenue can originate only in
the House of Representatives. but the
Senate may propose or concur with
amendments.
Treaties with foreign powers are made
by the President and ratified by the
Senate.
The Territories each have a delegate
in Congress who is allowed the privilege
of debate, but has not the right to
vote.
The Vice President, who ex-officio pre-
sides over The Senate. has no Vote in
that body except in the case Of a tie
ballot
II the President holds a bill longer
than ten days while Congress is in ses-
sion, it becomes a law without his sig
nature.
An act of Congress cannot become a
law over the Presidents veto except on
two-thirds vote of both Houses.
The House of Representatives may
impeach the President for any crime,
but the Senate has the sole power 10 try
all impeachments.
An officer of the United States Gov
eminent is not permitted to accept any
title of nobility, order or honor, except
with the permission of Congress
Amendments TO the Constitution OF
the United States require a two thirds
vote Of each House of Congress and

must be ratified by at least three fourthe
of the States.
The President. of the United States
must be 30 years of age; Senator 30; a
Congressman %; the President must
have been a resident of the United States
ii years.
A naturalized citizen is not eligible
to the Office of President of the United
States. A male child born in foreign
land to American parents has an equal
chance 20 become President with one
born on American soil.

Cities Charities.

The city of Detroit expends SO, 900 an
nually for the education of its crippled
children who, without this special SER
vice, would remain at home and be de-
prived of the facilities afforded by the
public schools. Special means of trans
portation are provided tor Them at the
expense of the city. This movement is
proving very popular.
The United Charities OF Chicago is ap
pealing to the citizens of Chicago for a
sum of $3.50 900 with which to help care
for the homeless and destitute in that
great city for the winter. Many more
people are out of employment than
usual. hence the urgency of this appeal
Doubtless there will be a generous res
ponse on the part of the people of thai

Cats in ENGLAND.

Deputy Consul Luther J. Parr, at
Sheffield, England makes report on
rats. The steel works and large stores
in Sheffield are infested with rats,
writes Mr.. Parr, and many attempts
have been made to sxtermihate them.
In the work, however, little damage is
done, and il is the rule occasionally
to employ professional rat catcher,
who captures about 100 rats a night,
and is paid one dollar for a night
work. Such a calling is no doubt
influenced by the fact that there is a
ready sale to the sporting men for
the rats caught, the rats being used il
training dogs Several exterminators
are in use in Sheffield, all more or less
effective. An opportunity viii short
ly occur in Sheffield to demonstrate
the value of American rat extermina-
tors. What is known as the killing
shambles and the fish and meat mar
ket, in the center of the city, are
to be RACED in accordance with the
new city planning idea of the NUM-
cipal authorities. When this work
is begun thousands of rats will be
forced TO seek other quarters. Arti
cies and letters in considerable mum

CHASTITY C.ustonl.

The medical profession has succeed
ed in doing away with a revolving
custom that has prevailed in Copstan-
tinople for almost a century In 1927
the authorities discovered that the
Greeks we're in the habit of smuggling
in large quantities of arms and am.
munition in closed collins. They there
fore ordered that thenceforward cot.
fms containing the corpses of Greeks
should be borne hdless through the
streets and only sealed after entering
the cemetery. Since that time the
Greeks have attempted by painting
the faces of the dead and resorting 10
other crude devices, to render the
procedure less CHASTITY. they have
also agitsted, from time to time, for
the abolition of the custom, but made
no impression upon the Ottoman gov
eminent until the local doctors came
10 their aid. The recent funeral OF
Constantin v, patriarch of the Greek
church, furnished a test case. After
an acrimonious debate, it was de-
clded that the coffin should be closed
and the custom abolished.
