Follette's efforts to have passed
measure which, in effect, would mean
the taking away of all the powers
of the Supreme Court and the Presi-
dent. Senator La Follette's plan, he
said, was that If the Supreme Court
should decide that an act of Con-
gress is unconstitutional Congress could
again pass the same measure, in which
event 1t would be beyond the reach OF
the court, and the same would be true
Of any measure the President should
veto-Congress merely passing it Il sec
ond time and settling the matter.
Senator Bornh's Proposals.
Mr.. Warren said Senator Borah's
proposals were more guarded, but
equally effective. His idea, accord
ing to the speaker. would require the
asserting voice of seven of the nine
Supreme Court justices to cause an
stitutional. Were three of the judges
to decide one way their decision
would prevail. In this case. he said,
Congress would always be supreme
in the United States provided three
judges believed it to be so.
There is no need for alarm over
the Supreme Courts power to hold
laws unconstitutional, for that is
why the court was created--to pro-
tect the people against infringement
on the Constitution" Mr.. Warren
said.
The functions of the Supreme
Court cannot be destroyed without
changing our form of government"
he added. There is no need for con-
Germ over the number of so-called
five-to-four decisions handed down by
the highest court, of which there
have been but nine. There have been
just fifty cases where acts of Con-
gress have been held unconstitutional
in more than 1874 years, and in this
time there probably have been thou
sands passed on as constitutional" he
said. Twelve of the cases decided
against Congress were received with
disapproval by the public, while the
thirty eight others were so radically
against the people that when the
courts decisions were rendered not a
word of unfavorable comment was
heard.
Attacks on the Supreme Court, Mr.
Warren said, are due to ignorance
Few people realize, he said, that it is
a funda mental institution, not purely
legal, and it's functions should be fa-
miliar TO every one so that they may
know under what form of govern
ment they exist.

Charles Warren Warns People to
Study Proposals Affecting
High Tribunal.
CRITICIZES LA TOILETTE
Radical Plans Would Change Form
of Government, He Says.

Although there is no need for
feeling of alarm over the closeness of
some of the decisions as rendered by
the United States Supreme Court. the
American people should. however,
study carefully any proposed changes
TO be made in the form of our gov
ernment especially any act affecting
the nations supreme tribunal, Charles
warren, former assistant attorney
general under the Wilson admins
tration, said at the Washington Study,
meeting at Rauscher's yesterday
afternoon.
The claim of certain radicals in
thls country that the Constitution of
the United States was framed by a
group OF conservatives is erroneous;
ne said. and pointed to the fact that
the constitution, as originally framed, /,
never would have been adopted had
not the radical element among the
trainers insisted upon amending it
with a provision which had for an
ultimate end the creation of this
court.
Form of Government.
Mr.. Warren urged his hearers to
become acquainted with the form of
government under which they live.
This government, he said, should not
be compared with that of England
nor that of France, which, like Amer
lea, is a republic. The government
has only that power which the sew
cral states have not retained unto

Elizabeth AIilbank Anderson left
$4,000. 900 for medical research into
the question OF how to make people
live longer.
From this fund three communities,
In New York State, were equipped
with doctors, health experts and lab
oratories. Everything In the way of
scientific health work Is being given
these communities. Il Is expected
that the results will tell Ia the NOR
tally records and the beneficial parts
of the work may then be passed on
to other places. If this experiment
is successful, its conclusions probably
viii be applied by health officers all
over the world.
Scientists who are dotng research
work that may affect the health and
lives of millions are VIGOROUSLY un'
derpatd and are greatly hampered, In
many instances for lack Of small
sums TO carry on important expert

Among other things, It has been
learned that there is a strong SINH

The Way to Happiness

Read Mt. 51-1S Text: 5:2-3. And
he taught them, saying, Blessed are
the poor in spirit
In beginning the Christian life a
man commits himself TO candid in
curry in a spirit of self-sacr4flce and
devotion, regarding the proper ex-
preston of the ideals of Jesus in all
phases Of modern life.
God has put the friendly instinct
deep down in the soul of man. The
desire to get and give help wells up
in every little. child so ready to say,
let me helpr 1t is in every mothers
heart"
MEDITATION: The characteristics
of the Christian which Jesus outlined
in the beatitudes are alluring beacons
to a higher life. The consciousness
of an unsatished desire is one of the
surest indications that somewhere in
Gods universe that desire will be sat
isaed If we only persevere. Until the
human soul enters into the blessed
ness of the Lord it is restless and
Ill at ease, for in Him only are we
at home.
HEf1COINAh QOhC IION. W nat
does it mean for me to be poor in
spirit?
PRAYER: Our Father, God, we
pray that thou mayest control our
thoughts and our wills this day Save
US from taking the first enticing path
unless it leads to fields of greater
service. May we not look for ease,
but let holy impulses guide us into
ways of Righteousness, Through Christ.
Amen.

That the peacock is unlucxy Is an
old AnglosSaxon superstition that was
handed on to America The folk story
is that when God created the peacock
the seven deadly sins were jealous of
its gorgeously colored plumage and
complained of injustice. God was
wrOth at their nerve and said to them:
You are right; I have been unjust
il that I bestowed too much on you:
deadly sins should be as black as
night, who covers them with it's veil. !"
So he took from them the yellow eye
of envy, the green eye of jealousy,
the red eye of murder. and the rest,
and placing them among the peacock's
feathers, let the bird free. Thus de-
prived of their eyes. the blind sins
have been pursuing the peacock ever
since, in an effort to get back their
eyes. So if you have a peacock around
the lot, all the seven sins are close at
hand a most unlucky presence.

effective weapon to rouse her anger

HON a Soldier


70 she Editor OF tbs Times
Twenty years ago l landed in
the Philippine Islands. We were
taken of the transport that same
night. and marched directly to the
trenches around Manila, where We
were engaged in battle the next morn
ing. We kept this up for three long
years-three OF the worst years Of
rainy seasons ever experienced In the
Philippines.
AS years go by can not help but
reflect on the way we regulars were
treated by a Republican Congress.
What caused me to write to the
editor is this:
Congress Is about to pass a bill to
pension Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Will

our dead Presidents. it looks as If the

widows TO be given $4,000 a year to
live on. when none of them was poor
to begin with.
Just to show what Congress did
for we soldiers. Our regiment was
recruited up in about two months
time. and Congress knew we would all
be discharged in about the same time,
so it passed a bill called General Or
der No. 40, not to pay discharged sol
diers any water transportation from
Manila to San Francisco. All we boys
got that were discharged in Manila
was a very small amount to bring us
home, and If it had not been for
Helen Gould we would not have had
enough money to bring us back to
where we enlisted. She had the rail
road rates cut for us. If ever a
woman will have a star in her crown
she will, for she did for us when
Congress would not. She also sent
us cots TO lay our weary heads on

advanced product of evolution.
Mans body is the most perfect ma
chine in existence today. 1t is self

regulating and self-rerairing.
Billions upon billions of cells com
prise this complex machine. There
are billions of muscle-cells making up
the muscles. Billions of nerve cells
make up the nerves. Billions Of nerve
cells build up the bones Of the body.
Built About Skeleton
Let us begin our closeup" Of man
with survey of the central frame
work or skeleton around which the
human machine is built.
over 200 bones comprise the frame
work. Twenty-six bones make up the
so-called backbone. There are twenty
two bones in the skull In the upper
limbs there are sixty four. in the lower
limbs sixty-two. There are twenty
four ribs
Some of the bones. as in the skull,
are joined together immovably. But
most OF them are joined together by
complex and clever movable joints.
The ends of these bones are covered
with thin cushions Of tissue known as
gristle, and they are held together by
cords Of fbrous tissue known as hga-
ments.
Bones are far from the simple
structures one might at first imagine
them Their structure is most elab-
crate and complex.
They are composed chiefly of phos-
phate Of lime, carbonate Of lime and

substance called cellagen.
The mineral matter gives the bones
strength and rigidity. The collagen
gives them elasticity and tenacity.
Filled with Tissue
Most homes have a central cylin-
drical cavity filled with tissue of
fatty cells known as marrow.
The exterior Of the bone is COM
pact in structure. but the interior
has a spongy structure. The ends OF
the bones also have this spongy strIc.

The spongy structure takes up

Between the parallel plates form
