Explaining the Constitution

The Constitutional League of
America proposes to put a copy
of the Constitution of the United
States withexplanatory comment
into every home in this country,
to translate it into not less than
sixteen of the foreign languages
spoken and read by the alien pop
ulation and to prepare an educa-
tiOnal film course dealing with
the great document for presenta,
tion in the. sixteen thousand or
more motion picture houses of
this country. Whether the Con-
stitution can be presented and
explained on the screen in the
necessarily brief and popular
manner is open to question, but
to put copy of it with eXplana-
tory comment into every home
would be both practical andhigh.
ly' useful. The explanatory re-
marks will be a very important
feature, for some points consid-
cradle explanation would be de-
sirable.
For example, why does Article
/ give the States representation
in Congress based on the whole
free population and three tifths
of the slave population? Why
does Article Iv, section 2, pro.
vide that slaves escaping from one
state into another shall be deliv-
cred up to those proving their
claim of ownership! The answer
is that when the Federal Consti-
tuition was adopted in 1857 sla,
very existed in all or practically
1all of the thirteen States a n d
therefore all the States agreed
Ito these provisions; that, though
the Northern States gradually a.
bolished slavery within their linn
its, it remained a national and le-
gal institution, provided for and
protected by the Constitution it.
self until it was abolished by the
adoption ofthe Thirteenth amend
ment in 1865 after the war be-
tween the North and South had
been fought to a conclusion.
These facts of history are not
very clearly understood by many
native Americans in these times,
to say nothing of the foreign
born. The Constitution in it's 0.
riginal form invites much expla.

Off to Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Mrs. Gurdie Barnes, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. b. j. Hodges, of
Adams, who is suffering with a
cancerous growth in her mouth,
left Sunday, accompanied by her
father, for Baltimore, Md. where
she entered Johns Hopkins Hos.
pital. and will take treatment
and undergo another operation,
one having been performed at
the Banner Elk Hospital some
six weeks ago, which, at first,
was thought to be a success. She
is the mother of a tiny babe,
which, we suppose was taken to
the hospital, her father saying on
Friday that their intentions then
were to axe it.

Against Conservation At Expense Of No.
manIy Modesty,

Howard Figg, assis tant to At
torney General Palmer, in charge
of the campaign toreduce prices,
has told the representatives Of
the National Garment Retailers
Association that the conserva-
ton of cloth at the expense of
womanly modesty will. not be in
dorsed by the government.
The retailers presented for Mr..
Figg's inspection three living
models dressed in knee.length
gowns designed as the extreme
in womens' wear for next fall.
Mr.. Figg declined to indicate
what he considered a prope r
length for skirts, but declared
after viewing the extreme styles
that skirts shouldn't least come
below the waist.
The retailers approved Mr..
Figg'sA. suggestion that coming
styles should be changed as little
as possible so that women nigh
get the full wear out Of theil
clothes and not be compelled L
refill their warlrobes frequentl,

(Smithfield Herald.


Catalogues have a peculiar fas.
cination for people about to pur-
chase any article from yard of
lace to a sewingmachine or piano.
The picture presents such attrac-
tive clothes, furniture, etc., with
not a blemish visible; the low
priced article compares so favor
ably with the more expensive
when seen in the book; the seams
OF a garment appears SO neatly
finished in the catalogue; the oak
table has such a massive expen-
sive look when viewed on the
printed page that the temptation
proves too great not to satisfy
curiosity. But oftentimes the
tale is different when the goods
arrive. However, rather tn n
take the trouble to send them
back, one puts up with them.
There are several reasons why
it is a good thing to patronize
home dealers. In the first place
it is just as cheap. If you do not

Another consideration in home

Sumner n North Carolina
Raleigh News and Observer.

NditlgA NcwS auu SuoorFcr.
North Carolina is sought out
by the northern tourist as aplace
to be favored in winter, so many
of the folks from farther up the
country begin to come this way
in the early fall, and the move
menti Is steady until late in the
spring when most of them have
gone back. This season finds a
larger proportion of summer Wis.,
itors in the State than usual and
day by day cars are seen on the
roads going south as wellasnorth
with license tags reading from
the various states, including Flor
ida on the south and Michigan
and Massachusetts on the north.
North Carolina is hard to beat
in the winter season, and it is
hard to find a better summer eli.
mate. But take climate, roads,
facilities of every kind, and few
States are more attractive than
North Carolina in the summer
season. We have a few holidays,
b 1t the man who goes from North
Carolina to New York or Penn
sylvania or even Washington in
midsummer and comes back af.
ter a few days in the North is al,
ways glad to feel the different at
mosphere about the time he hits
the south side of Virginia and
finds himselfin the piney coun-
try or in the Piedmont region of
his own state farther west.
We are farther south and more
nearly under the direct rays of
the sun, but we are in less hu-
mid climate than that which is
encountered farther north. Veg.
citation thrives more vigorously,
and the country roads are more
interesting in the State than they
are in much of the north. Side
roads have less of mud and diff.
cult travel, for while in much of
the north the clay roads do not
dry up until in May and June, in
the south they dry out a month
or two sooner. Dry soil makes a
country road more passable in
the South. Detours in the south
are not so beset with mudholes.
Then the variety of flower and
pant and bird ifeandeverything
that nature affords is greater in
the south, for it comes earlier, in
greater abundance, in greaterva.
riety and stays later. Summer
II North Carolina is interesting
to the tourist if he will come in
summer, and it is infinitely inter
esting to the folks who live here,
for it satisfies almost every rea
sonable want.

ElpsdItIonay Force Shown

@AFSs'uv"ety IvivV VWvWU
The story of the American Ex-
peditionary Force is told in pic
lures on the walls of the National
Museum in Washington in a per-
manent exhibit just opened to
the public, says a Washington
dispatch. Continuing t h e dis.
patch says:
Drawn from life in paint, pen

artists commissioned and sent to
the front for that purpose, the
collection of almost 500 studies
detailing nearly every phase of
life in the army overseasis spread
over the walls of half a dozen
great, well-lighted rooms. 1t is a
tale of stirring action which they
disclose.
Among the scenes depicted
are ruined French villages made
sacred to Americans because of
American blood freely given to
tear them from German hands.
There are the homely, appealing
scenes from behind thelines with

the very old and the very young
people. Here and there are grim
reminders of the great tragedy
in groups of huddled dead in
wrecked enemy trenches over
which the tide of victory had
poured. Again, half glimpsed
through a downpour of rain, a
trudging, sodden infantry COL
umn is moving onward through
a sea of mud as the artist saw it;
or an endless line of gun teams
dragging forward the batteries
to blast the road to triumph.
"At one point the artist caught

breathless tensity of a forestout.

screen of his covert toward the
enemy lines, his rifle hugged close
with his fingers clinched about
the trigger; at another a slash of
light from a half-opened door has
painted on the screen of night
just a hint of a column, tramping
on toward battle, just a young
face or two in the line, weary,
dirty, but with jaws grim set
with purpose. Again it is a hos
pital that has gripped the artists
imagination, a twisted writhing
form under the tumbled blanket
with agony in every line, and
over it the steady.eyed surgeon
or the merciful figure of an army
nurse.
I'm rooms around the picture
display are shown all the count
