CONSTITUTION week
BEGAN YESTERDAY

Chicago-(A P)-This week will
be observed as Constitution Week =
throughout the United States, week
set aside by the citizenship committee
of the American Bar association for
study of all phases of the national
constitution.
Plans for the week were started
several months ago and before made
public had been submitted and re-
ceived the endorsement of many gov
eminent officials and leaders in pub
lie life.
The main purpose of the program
is to re-establish the constitution of
the United States and the principles
and ideals of our government in the
minds and hearts of the people, &C
cording to the citizenship committee.
Much was left to the local organiza-
tions, which will be in charge of the
programs in their respective COM
munities, the bar association COM
mittee simply giving a general out
line
Cooperation of every organization
interested in civic activities was
sought, and in many instances has
been promised. Indiana reported
plans for discussing the constitution
at the fall county school teachers
Institutes, thus reaching approx
mately $4,000 school teachers. In
some communities the American Lee
gfon has agreed to take the initiative.
In others such organizations as the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Daughters
of the American Revolution, Parent
Teachers associations, Sons of the
American Revolution, Women's Fed
Grated Clubs, Council of Jewish Wo-
men, Masonic Service association of
the United States, Knights Of Column
bus, and Boy Scouts. The program |
for the schools will include setting |
aside available assembly periods at |
which some lawyer or person well
versed on the constitution and its
history will speak

BOLSHEVISTS STUDY
AMERICAN POLICIES

| Berlin-(A .)-BolShevism has
created laboratory of world poll
tics in Berlin, something new in poll
litical science. This institution has
little to do with musty textbooks and
dry lecturers. 1t sends it's investi-
gators to the scene of interesting
political activities in all parts of the
world, and they bring reports to the
official staff which keeps abreast of
the world press and interprets the
information it collects in terms of
international consequences.
Captain Jacques SadOul, former
French army officer who was SEN
fenced to death in France for the
part he played in promoting sedition
among the French marines and sailors
who were sent against the Bolshevist
troops at Odessa in 1919, is among
the experts on the BOlShevlst staff
who are conducting this new labora-
tory. Jean Arens, who was wounded
by the assassin who killed Vorowsk1,
the Russian unofficial delegate at the
Lausanne conference, is another mem
Der of the laboratory staff.
At present the laboratory is much
interested in dissecting Americas for
eign policy. President Coolidge is I'M
der the microscope. His speeches and
official activities are being studied,
along with reports on the possibility
of Secretary of State Hughes re-
signation from the cabinet. Ameri
can senators travelling in Europe are
also being investigated, especially
those who have Russia on their
itinerary.

OFFERS JUDGE $1,000 BILL
Motorist Seeks to Pay Fine, but Court
Can't Make Change.

New Jersey state police made q
roundup of speeding motorists on the
White Horse pike in the campaign by
state authorities to reduce the grow
ing number of fatalities and accidents.
Those arrested were all Philadel-
phians, except two. All were charged
with speeding and reckless driving.
Robert Fishman Philadelphia, own
er of touring car, was hailed before
Justice Jackson, when Anthony Siano,
1854 Central avenue. Philadelphia, was
arrested as the driver of the car The
machine, it was reported. was going 90
miles an hour when they were arrest
ed. Justice Jackson imposed fine of
$50 and costs on Siano, while Fishman
was fined $50. He pleaded that he did
not have the money, but when it was
announced he would go to jail, he
produced a thousand-dollar bill. JUS
tfce Jackson couldn't make change so
the other car occupants came to Fish,
mans rescue.

| pleasing speech and a pay envelope
Travelling statesmen, agents and indi
viduals who use the telephone for bust
ness are coming to realize that their
voices as much as their words make
an impression on the other person.
Pleasing Voice Pays.
Business firms, too, are noticing the
effect of their employees voices on
customers. Telephone operators are
taught to speak in certain tones so
that they can be heard distinctly. A
carrying voice is more a matter of
resonance than of volume. Telephone
girls learn to lower their voices so
that there is no confusion of sound
even in large exchange
A few stores have taken up the idea
of teaching clerks to speak in a dis
tinct tone and with a pleasing manner.
One large department store in New
York City recently began to give its
employees lessons in the speaking
voice. At first the management ar
ranged the course after working hours,
but the lessons are now being given in
speech association as significant be-
cause business organization OF this
sort would not allow time out Of the
working day for employees to study if
it were not regarded as a practical in
vestment.
The usefulness of correct speech is
well demonstrated, and it is equally
lNo< i II
well. The average American is not al
together responsible, however, for his
careless and reckless method of ex-
pressing himself. Few people have
any opportunity to improve their
speech except through initiating desir
able qualities in the voices they hear.
The speech association holds that
children should be taught to talk cor
rectly at school; that training in elo-
cution and dramatics is not training
in everyday speaking. The child who
can recite THE Village Blacksmith"
with all the necessary dramatic effects
may whine or swallow his words in
ordinary conversation.
The final point that Miss Perkins
stresses is that almost everybody has
a vague feeling that he would like to
play or sing well. Comparatively few
people possess real talent for playing
the violin or for singing. But the
speaking voice is an instrument which
everyone has at his command. In most
of us the apparatus is in sufficiently |
good condition to produce music, and |
the results are more question OF |
perseverance and practice than Of |
special ability. 1t only rests with the |
individual whether he will use his in
strument like a master musician or
like bungling amateur.

GROWN PRINCE LEADS
SIMPLE LIFE AS DUTCH EXILE

Amsterdam-(A. P.)-Friends of
Frederick Hohenzollern, at one time
heir to the German throne. who have
visited the exile on the little island
of Wieringen, in northern Holland,
say that he would like to go to the
United States and begin life afresh
He realizes there is little chance of
his being allowed to return to Ger
many, and on that account he would
like to try his fortunes in America.
It is difficult to say how Frederick
would get on in competition with
other men, a thing he has never ex-
per1enced. The life that would suit
him best, his friends say, would be
that of an American country gentle
man. But the present indications are
that he will never be anything, for
years to come other than an exile,
something halfway between a tourist
enjoying an island holiday and Napo-
leon on st. Helena
