of the former chiefs of that department
had the idea that all closets should be
screened, very we'll, the poor people did
it; had some me ney saved up from their
house rent, denying themselves neces-

former official and he had the screens
covered and ordered a hue, and so it

| received a ummons for criminal pro-

No! The Commission would know me.

either in process of construction

reply to the recent movement by the
building work unions in making vol

Constitution Day" this year has been
successfully carried into every part of
the country from coast to coast. The
Governors of practically all the states
have issued proclamations, calling the
attention of the people to the day and
urging them to participated in its OBJ

adding enormously to Appropriation
bills in fact Of a general demand for
economy. Speaking on the Naval Bill,
he says:
THE Senate might, II It had an in
dependent responsibility, frame a most
excellent appropriation bill, but this
House where there is earnest and
sometimes even acrimonious debate.
speaks most accurately, most correctly
for the will Of 110,0O0,000 people The
people are demanding economy. De-
casionally the demand Is too vague
and general and those who ask it are
seeking appropriations for their own
special interest, inconsistent with the
views they advocate But the duty
rests upon this House to promte econ

cost Of militarism. it threatened with
universal bankruptcy, and | trust the
conferees will stand firmly and bring
back to this House report of noncon-
currence in these additions so that the

try by expressing the opinion that we

superintendent of schools have issued
bulletins to their local superintend-
ents, directing them to see that special
CONSTITUTION Day" exercises are held
in the schools which are open on the
18th.
In San Francisco, the Board of Su-
pervisors has approved the local cele-
bration of Constitution Day" and di-
rected the mayor to take the necessary
steps to bring same about.
In Cincinnati, big mass meeting
will be held under the auspices of the
Chamber Of Commerce.
The National Security Leagues pro-
motion of Constitution Day" is based
upon its idea Of exerting every effort
to make al 1.-The people of the country
familiar with the Constitution of the
United States as the basic law of the
land, the League believing that nation
al security must be fundamentally
based upon this understanding. The
League puts its object as follows;
Our purpose in celebrating and sig
nalizing the anniversary of the signing
of the Constitution is to consecrate
anew the devotion of the American
people to the fundamental law which
created and has maintained the great
est democracy in the history of the
world. The spirit of unrest, which had
its birth among the peoples of Europe,
who were without the blessings of
American plent yand our republican
form Of government, is being made to
appeal to the enthusiasm Of the ineffi-
cient and the unfortunate. The sound
common sense of the American people.
when they have been fully awakened
to the situation, will eventually stamp
out this agitation but, meantime, It be-
hooves all good Americans to be vigi-
liant and to promote constructive pa
triotism and citizenship as opposed to
the destructive forces"
