FIRST HOUSE PILGRIMS BUILT
Plymouth Venerates Site Of Structure
Where Settlers. Modelled Civil
Form Of Government.

Until they have gazed upon the
Rock, visitors to Plymouth town de-
cline. as a rule, to see anything else.
Having performed that duty, they
usually stroll or spin up Leyden street,
which extends from point con-
veniently near the Rock, to the foot
of Burial hill, where the Pilgrim fort
and watch tower used to frown down
upon the Indians. Leyden street is
New England's oldest thoroughfare,
once 1t was called. quite aptly, First
street.
On ones way up Leyden street one
must stop to look at the site Of the
hrst house which the Mayfiower pas
sengers erected In the wilderness. In
this structure the settlers had their
fling at the purest form Of democracy.
Here. modelling their civil govern
ment upon the compact which had
been drawn up in the cabin of the
Mayfiower while she was anchored
In the harbor of Cape Cod, they dis
cussed laws for their guidance, and
elected Myles Standish, by majority
vote. captain Of the Plymouth home
guard.

Uncle Sam Voices Optimism.

The Federal Reserve Board in a
statement just issued says that
"better conditions In business
have been msnifesting themselves
during the past month. They
have been most obvious in the
Aeld of banking and finance.
They have. however, also been of
decided significance in industrial
lines." The statement observes
that while the process Of read.
justment IL not complete, sit has
proceeded far enough in a mum mber
Of branches OF business to pre-.
pare the way for new constructive
work" Another significant par
agrsph in the resume of affairs
eayv that retailers throughout the
country shave undertaken to
transfer to their customers some
