There go the little fiappers, inno-
Gently Indifferent to the talk which
they have caused. Watch the sweet
barbarians, all at play, and admit that
tfa ages have not seen their equal. As
Tiny Tim didn't say, "God bless 'em,

was Iucretius who first told of the
old plowman, gazing forlornly over the
land, and signing for return of the
"old days."
There Is a woman in this town who
does not belong to the tribe of sigh
ing plowmen. She believes that life
is good, and not wicked. She is free,
that Is all. refusing to be held down
by the old expressions and inhibitions
She has little boy just about old
enough TO talk.
The other day. at function she
was giving. something went wrong 1t
was a slight thing, but enough to ir-
ritate her.
Ladies Of the old school would have
expressed veXation.
This modern lady-and she is such
in the best sense of the term gentle
woman"-used a plain epithet.
"Oh. you shouldn't use such words

The Glover Leaf Unlucky.

/. FOur-ieaf clovers are not always as
lucky as they are reported to be. A
golfer was disqualified at the 37th
hole in the finals of the northern Cal
ifornia professional golf tournament
In Delmonte, when he picked four
leaf clover and then brushed the line
OF putt with his hand. 1t was the only
disqualification In many years In an
important match. but was according to
a well-known rule about removing
anything from the fairway.

THEY MEAN FORD

"There are movements on foot in
several quarters to secure for Ger
tain sites or streams special legisla-
ton, which if approved would con-
stitute a partial repeal of the Federal
Water Power Act" says the annual
report by the Federal Power Com
msson. "If these proposals that
rights or authorities be granted that
dependently Of the present law be
examined" adds the Commission, "it
will be found that some or all of the
essential features of the Act, parti-
cularly those to protect the public
interests, have been omitted. Fur
thermore, the granting of special
privileges to favored interests would
who, in the faith that Congress had
at last fixed it's policy, are investing
hundreds Of millions of dollars under
the obligation of the Act" After
pointing out the dangers of special
waterpower legislature, the Commits
sion comments: Having spent ten
years in discussing and developing
national waterpower policy and hav-
ing written such a policy into legisla-
ton, it would be. unwise, even though
the Act presses to be essentially modi-
lied. To proceed to modify it direct
ly or indirectly when it is proving to
be distinct success would be folly"
Evidently the Commission can find
no merit in the claim that Mr.. Ford
may prove a benefactor at Muscle
Shoals, since to the above they add
this sentence: s'In any case modi-
fication should come as a change in
the general law after due considera-
ton by Congress and not as special
legislation applicable to a particular
Site"
PLAN TO ABOLISH ELECTORS
The resolution proposing to amend
the Constitution so as to abolish the
electoral colleges and to provide for

Vice-President and to bring about
the meeting of the new Congress in
January following it's election and
the Inauguration Of the newly elect
ed President and Vice President the
third Monday of January after their
election had been favorably reported
to the Senate. This resolution is in
line with the proposal advanced at
he recent conference of progressives
an dtheSsaction of the agricultural
committee is considered victory for
the newly formed progressive bloc. :"
