corps are usually expert aviators as well.
 Down in Guantanamo the navy air planes are carrying mail from distant ports to the fleet with the result that several days are saved to the men in receiving their letters. With the present universal wireless systems the daily newspapers published aboard the navy ships are as up to date and as cosmopolitan as those of great city.
 The U. S. s. Mexico looks, from the air, just as much a wonderful fight ing unit as she does from the porthole of another ship alongside. But she's more than that, as the men aboard her will tell you. She's the home of over a thousand contented sailors.
 When the New Mexico was built, every provision was made for the con- fort of the crew from laundry to bar Der shops, and from libraries to movie theatres. Other U. s. navy ships be- ing constructed are built with the same ideas in mind, and these features will go far toward keeping the per sonnel up to the mark required of your "First Line of Defense" the U. $. navy.

The New Mexico from the Air The U S. s. New Mexico, Pride of the Pacific

The photographic and aviation branches of the U. s. navy recently collaborated in producing the finest aerial picture ever taken of big bat tleship. The e'dreadnaught shown above is the U. s. S. New Mexico, the flag ship of Admiral Rodman, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet.
 In taking this picture, the plane lowered around over the New Mexico long enough to take some. twenty views of her. Various attitudes were tried and from every possible angle. The result is picture worthy the ad- miration of an expert.
 In all fleet operations such as the re- cent trip of the New Pacific fleet from Hampton Roads to San Francisco, or in the battle manoeuvers now taking place at Guantanamo, there is an air force and photographic force. Get ting view of dreadnaught from the air does not mean waiting until she passes under the Brooklyn bridge, as it once did.
 Most of the enlisted men acting as photographers in the navy have flying orders and are also trained as observ- CTS. The officers in the photographic

TO REVISE TAX LAWS

House committee on ways and means is considering repeal of excess profit tax and a revision. of income tax laws.
 The committee thus indicates its purpose to formulate new legislation on these subjects in the near future and bring it before the house in the early spring for action.
 The repeal of the excess profit tax and similar measures which place un- fair tax burdens on industry, is the first step to take to assure healthy resumption of normal industrial pro- gress. The excess profit tax is sim ply another artificial means of adding to the cost of living for in the long run it is the consumer who must pay all these overhead charges which are heaped upon business and industry.
 There are no longer any excess profits such as the law was made to cover during the war, hence there is no excuse for the law.

SHE ARRESTED "NOIsY JANE"

The efficiency of the modern police women in handling their own sex is demonstrated by an incident which oc- cured in Melbourne, Australia, as re- lated in newspaper of that city.
 q watched policewoman at work the other day, and saw that she made good. A female full of drink and dis orderliness was gathering a crowd. The appearance of policeman on the scene would have swelled the audience and aggravated the inebriate to com. bativeness. The lady bobby in white costume and helmet, went quietly up to Noisy Jane,' and the disturbance terminated. Of they went together while the crowd dispersed. The clean woman taking the disheveled female into her care, seemed to conHmand the respect of the captivesand the sym pathy of the onlooker. People turned away as if they had nothing more to jeer at, whereas a man arresting a staggering noisy Jape' is always fol- lowed by rowdy and delighted gath ering."

WHEN THE FIRST BATH
 TUB CAME INTO USE

Adam Thompson, of Cincinnati, was the first man in the United States to use a bath tub This was on Decem- Der 20, 1842.
 The installation of the bath tub in Mr. rhompson's home, and the actual use of it for bathing in winter, caused widespread publicity, and the news papers devoted their columns to vio- lent discussions of it.
 Certain patriots stated that this type of bathing was a dangerous lux ury, designed to corrupt the demo- cratic simplicity of the republic. The medical fraternity denounced it as dangerous to health, and bound to re- suit in "phthisic, rheumatic levers, in flammation of the lungs, and the whole category of zymonic diseases"
 Legislation reflected the common feeling.
 The Philadelphia common council, late in 1843, considered an ordinance prohibiting bathing between Novem- Der 1 and March 15, and it failed of passage by only two votes.
 During the same year the legisla- ture of Virginia laid tax of $50 a year on all bath tubs. Boston, early in 1S45, made bathing unlawful except on medical advice, but the ordinance was never enforced and in 1862 it was repealed.
 President Willard Fillmore install- ed the first bath tub ins the White House in 1851.
 This action broke down practically all prejudice, with the result that by 1860 every hotel in New York had one bath tub and some had two and even three.

WHY THEY CALL
 FEM PALLBEARERS

The name pallbearers for the friends of the dead who carry the coffin to the grave is of somewhat indirect signif- icance. Pail comes from pallium, which means a cover or a mantle and may be used to designate any kind of rich cloth. But in olden times it was used specifically for the heavy cover ing that was draped over the coffin at funeral ceremony. And it is for this reason that the men who bore upon their shoulders the coffin came to be called pallbearers.

A Brief Survey Of The
Constitution Of The United States

One state cannot ignore Abe other
states nor treat another state as if it
were a foreign country.

turned to the state where the crime
was committed if a demand is made
for the return Of such a criminal.

into the Union by Congress.
(4) The United States shall guaran-
tee to every state a republican form
of government, that is, a government

Amendments
Since the Constitution of the Unit
ed States was the result of com
promise no one OF its trainers vas en-
tirely satisfied with it and opposition
the part of the people at once arose.
There are two ways to amend the
Constitution. A proposed amendment
must be passed CD by a two-thirds
vote in Congress or (2) by a tWo-thirds

ed Congress or such a convention.
then, in either case, it must be ratified
by three-fourths of the state legisla-
lures. A number of the states when
ratifying the Constitution suggested
amendments or additions to the Con.
|stitution.
After much careful consideration
twelve amendments were submitted to
the states, and ten of them were
ratified about four years after the Con-
stitution was adopted. These first ten
amendments, meant to meet the views
of those fearing too strong a central
government, were really a bill of rights
and included among other things the
assurance of religious freedom, free
speech, and the right of the people
to bear arms.
In 1894 the eleventh amendment
was proposed forbidding a suit against
any state by a citizen of another state
or by a citizen or subject of a foreign
country. This was ratified within
four years.
The twelfth amendment in 1904 call
ed for separate ballots for President
and Vice-President. In the original
form of procedure the Vice-President
was the Presidential candidate having
the second highest number of votes.
This meant that the President and
Vice-President would not be in har-
mony, as they belonged to different
parties.
Twelve amendments had thus been
added within twenty years after the
adoption of the Constitution. More
than half a century passed without
further changes. The close of the war
between the North and the South gave
occasion for measures to secure the
of the conflict.

Losses In Early Trading Recov.
cred Before End Of
First Hour

New York, July 2S.--Some scattered
liquidation and renewed drives by bear
traders caused irregular movements in
the early trading on the stock ex-
change, but II was soon evident that the
situation had been improved and the
losses of the first few minutes were fol
lowed by gains during the remainder
Of the forenoon.
Generally, the market was ruled by
the current reports that on Saturday
| the Interstate Commerce Commission
will issue its ruling on rate advances,
and It was assumed that this rating
will act as a direct incentive for buy
ing railroad securities and steels.
United States Steel was made tar
get for bear attacks at the opening and
dropped point to SO, but recovered this
loss before the end of the first hour.
Other steel industrials moved in the
same way, Baldwin first declining q
to 109T, and then advancing to Ill.
A similar movement was recorded in
Mexican Petroleum, which, after fall

again persistently bought by the strong
interests that have been accumulating
these stocks for several weeks, and
showed gains after the first hours trad
ing.

broke below the 10 cent level at the
opening Of the local futures market this
morning, selling at 9.95 cents. July
started SO points lower and the other
months showed losses OF 12 to 16

firms were said to be buyers on the de-
cline.

to shake out one or two Of the strong

some believe that these same long in
terests are in for a long pull and are
buving OF all soft spots.
While traders were successful in forc-
Ing lower prices on the opening, there
was no evidence that certain strong long
interests were disposed to let go: and
q lull In offerings around II O'Clock was
followed by a few buying orders in De-
oember and May, which sent those de-
liveries up 10 to 10 points, or 1 to 2
points net lower. December selling TO

of coffee has been sold by shippers there
to relieve pressing needs: and, until that
happens. II Is not believed conditions
here will show much Improvement,
