The ancient state constitution OF
1870 is still the law of the Common
wealth and is not superseded by the
new constitution drafted by the
constitutional convention of 191S1919,
according to supreme court decision.
Chief Justice Rugg wrote the opin-
ion. The supreme court finds that
the fact that the com nittee on TO-
arrangement fthe constitutional con-
vention failed to adopt one of two
specific forms before It, either Of
which would have entirely eliminated
the old constitution, prevent the re
arranged constitution" from becoming
anything more than series of
amendments to the 1870 constitution.
In line with their progressive work
in citizenship education, tht Massa-
chusetts League of Women Voters
has just issued an informative leafiet
by Mrs. True Worthy White, in which
the Massachusetts Plan" of educa-
ton for citizenship Is laid out in de-
tail. The first plan calls for the
cooperation of the town with the adult
immigrant education division of the
state department of education. The
state has agreed to pay half the ex-
pense of classes for teaching English
to adults. The league therefore
recommends that every town make an
appropriation for such classes.

Dear Uncle Jed: It was cold winter day, the streets were wet and slippery and white from q recent snowfall.
 Old ragged and gray, the bent form of woman could be- seen at the crossing afraid to cross lest the wheels or the horses, hoofs might make her their prey. FhTongs of human beings had passed her by without casting even q look of pity towards her. All of sudden. cries rent the air, and crowd of boys just let out of school came rushing down the streets. No one noticed her until one bright little lad who was the Rerriest ef them all paused beside her and whispered '1 will help you across. f yel wish to go." She placed her feeble hands on his strong young arms and the two, the weak old woman and the noble boy, reached the other side safely.
 On his return the boys sneered at him. saying, What a pretty figure you made limping along with Granny" He nobly answered. "She is somebody's mother, boys Perhaps some day I may be far sway and my mother may bA old and feehle and need assistance. Then I will be elad if somebody's kind to her. That night. in her poor room. an old woman boEed her head in prayer. "ofod bless the noble boy who is the pride and joy of somebody"

A Fortunate Ta1diness.

Dear Uncle Jed: A poor little girl was once peddling oranges at the railway station of a small southern town. She had made very few sales during the morning. and was turning away, tired and discouraged, when q belated passen- ger came hurrying along, and seeing the tempting fruit in the childs basket stopped and asked the price.
 He took one-half dozen but did not have time to pay her, as the train was past leaving.
 We can easily imagine the poor little poddleTs dismay on seeing the huge iron monster carrying off her fruit and it's value. Her grief came from the fact that she and her mother were the only support of widowed mother who was an invalid. The sale of these oranges would have meant a small fortune for her.
 When her mother heard of 1t she gently said: DO not worry, my child our kind Heavenly Father will help to bring this matter to a happy end. Let us trust all to Him"
 Two weeks after her brother Harold came rushing in after selling his papers shouting: See this advertisement" On April {, William Houston, s1 Broadway, New York, when about tc board tho 2.l5 D. m, train to woodville s, C., took six oranges without payment from the basket of a small girl sellins Fruit at the station.

\ Rescue.

Dear Uncle Jed: Bob and Mary had been playing in the garden. Bob was great deal older than Mary. After play ing in the garden. they went down to the pond with their dog Dick.
 They found q raft near the shore and Bob pulled it in and put Mary on it Then he jumped on and pushed it out. Dick followed and soon was on the raft with the children.
 They were going along nicely when suddenly the raft bumped into 8 rock. Mary was thrown from the raft by the sudden jerk. But Bob had somehow managed to keep on.
 Dick was overheard and soon brought Mary to the side of the raft. where Bob took her. She was not hurt but fright ened and had swallowed quite a lot of water.
 Bob hurried the raft to shore and brought Mary home. After that every one in the house was kind to Dick. Bob was told not to go near the water un- less someone older was with him.
