Not Alone on New Year.

OF course il is customary to make
New Years day the day of new reso-
lutions. but there is no particular -ea-
son why we should conine this work
TO this one day in the year In fact,
the very best resolution we can make
on New Years day is to resolve that
during the coming year we will use
every endeavor to make each day
day OF self Improvement; that not a
single day shall pass upon which we
have not attempted to speak a good
word or do kind deed for somebody.
that not day shall pass upon which
we viii not try to weed out some OF
tie tares and brambles OF character
Tint now offend others or some of the
bad habits that offend even ourselves.

Famous Relic Of American Indspend-
ence Formerly Rang In the Year.
Every New Years eve citizens or
Philadelphia gather round the shrine
Of Liberty, Independence hall, to hear
the New Year rung In. Formerly TINS
service inexperienced by the bell now
known az the Liberty bell.
Before that memorable day In l776
when the nations fathers gave forth
to the world their Declaration of hide
pendence, whose signing was heralded
by the ringing Of the bell, New Years
rejoicing was started by the first peal
OF what Is now known as the Liberty
bell.
After the events OF July 4, f776,
made, the bell one OF the most price
less relics Of the nation, custodlans OF
Independence hall restricted Its use
fearing some mishap, and after 1880
the Eell was no longer used for the
New Years salute In 1882, on the Gel
ebrati0n of George Washingtons birth
day, it was rung and not again for
three years, when on July 8, 1885.
while the funeral procession Of Chief
Justice Marshall was passing, the bell
was tolled.
Suddenly the note grew dlscordant
An investigation was made. 1t was
found that a crack had been started.
The bell had completed its task. No
more would It greet the New Year or
Jay tribute to the nations great. But
from the tower Of Liberty's cradle an.
other bell always welcomes the com
ing Of a New Year Paul Pioneer

There are three most important
amendments the committee could
think of. Under the constitution on
~ three amendments can be sub
mitted at one election.
Governor Capper will advocate
the Maryland budget system. This
will require a constitutional amend
ment. The committee, however, may
drop one of its amendments and
accept the budget amendment.
In addition to the three consti-

recommended the enactment of a
law permitting cities to adopt the
city manager form of government;
also a law providing for uniform

New Years Morning
By HELEN HUNT JACKSON

ONLY a night from old to newt
~ Only night and SO much
wrought
The Old Years heart all weary
grew,
But said, "The New Year rest has
brought"
The Old Years heart its hopes laid
down
As in a grave, but, trusting, said.
"The blossoms of the New Years
crown
Bloom from the ashes Of the
dead"
The Old Years heart was full of
greed;
With selfshness it longed and
ached
And cried, II have not half need;
My thirst is bitter and unslaked,
But to the New Years generous
hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True loving it shall understand;
By all my failures it shall learn
have been reckless; it shall be
Quiet and calm and pure Of life.

Only a night from old to new!
Night and the healing balm OF
sleep
Each morn is New Years morn come
true,
More of festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to
make
Confession and resolve and prayer.
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
Only night from old to new!
Only a sleep from night to morn!
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees a new year
born.
