Would Make 1t Harder
TO Amend Constitution

A resolution making amendments to
the Constitution of the United States
more difficult was introduced in Frank
ling post Of the American Legion. Co
lunbus, Ohio, by L. d. Bower, journal
clerk of the Ohio senate.
The resolution proposes an amend
ment to Article v of the Constitution
making 1t necessary to secure a two
thirds majority Of the actual member
ship in congress to Initiate an amend
ment. While the ratification Of an
amendment by the state legislatures
of three-fourths Of the states is still
retained, the resolution proposes that
such ratification must represent three
fourths of the congressional represen-
tation of all the states. The resolution
also provides that ratification must be
accomplished within five years from
the date of submission to the states.
Bower claims that under the pro-
visions of Article v of the Constitution,
not only may an amendment to the
Constitution be proposed for ratifica-
ton by even less than minority OF
congress, but that the Constitution
now may be ratified by a minority rep.
.resentation Of the voting population.

TRAINING COURSE
FOR BRITISHERS

Unusual interest has been created
by the plan OF sending out from Eng
land to the colonies and dominions
groups of men and women selected
from various districts and carefully
trained to take up the life of settlers.
A committee recently formed in Lon
don is recruiting new community
settlement" from the ranks of retired
officers and civil servants who find It
increasingly difficult with their COM
paratively small pensions to maintain
in England tile standards Of life to
which they have been accustomed. It
Is proposed to gather communities Of
60 or 20 families and train them In
England on two-acre garden plots.
Each prospective settler will thus gain
some experience of farming and at
the end Of five years the whole group
will be moved to homestead In South
Africa, Canada or Australia. Mean
while, it is believed. they will be able
to pay their way from the produce Of
their gardens.

PIGEON HERO OF
GREAT WAR DEAD

A hero of the late war, cited in an
order Of the army and decorated for
exceptional bravery at Verdun, died
recently of old age. He was ten years
old, says Our Dumb Animals.
His name was Carrier Pigeon No.
1894 A. F. and attached to one of his
legs he proudly wore ring, equiva-
lent to the medaille militaire, awarded
to him In June, 1916, with the follow

JAMES F. BARTON
ASSUMES NEW JOB

james f. Barton, formerly adjutant
of the Iowa department of the Amer
lean Legion, has assumed his duties
as assistant national adjutant Bar
ton took over large part of the
routine duties of the adjutant's office.
In this way, National Adjt. Rus
sell Creviston is left free to devote
more of his time to the $5,0O0,000 en-
dowment fund which the Legion is
raising for the disabled and the or
phans of the World war. He had
been handling the duties of the ma
tional adjutancy and of the executive
secretaryship of the endowment fund.
With the extension of the campaign
for the endowment to every state in
the Union, the pressure of duties OF
the executive secretaryship became
greater and he found it impossible to
continue to perform the duties of the
two positions Barton's appointment
relieved him of part of the load and
gave him more time for field work.
Barton has long been active In LIE
gion work. Members of the Iowa de-
partment give him much of the credit
The Monmouth inquirer. [volume] (Freehold, N.J.) 1865-1933, 1925-06-11

for the remarkable record which that
department has made. He served as
adjutant of the department from the
fall of 1920 until his transfer to ma
tional headquarters.
The new assistant national adju-
tant's first activity in the Legion was
as commander of the post at Fort
Dodge, owa, his home town He was
elected to that position before the
first national convention of the Legion
in 1919 and served until his appoint
ment as department adjutant.
DIR. R. ]. Laird of Algona. Iowa,

lowing Barton's resignation. Laird
resigned as national executive COM
mltteeman. That position was filled
by Maurice Cahill Of Cedar Rapids,

Generally Engine Gets
Blame for Slowing Down


1t happens on occasion that the en-
CINE slows down when the clutch is
disengaged, whereas exactly the re-
verse should be the case. Generally
the; engine gets the blame, when in
reality the trouble is due to the fact
that the clutch does not entirely dis
engage. Sometimes in these cases
there may be rasping of the gears
when shifting; this latter condition
would naturally follow, since the
clutch does not Ieave,the fiywheel prop
erIy. The basic cause of trouble is
very probably wear in the throw-out
collar. In this way when the clutch
pedal is pushed down all the way, the
clutch moves outward only a little !;
not enough to permit the engine to
run idle. If the clutch is of the cone
type, kissing is likely to result, be-
cause of the facing slipping around in
the fiywheel.

MENTAL STRAIN
is HUGE FACTOR
National Safety Council
Points Out Many Hazards
From This Cause.

Elimination Of mental strains Is a
big factor in the prevention of auto
mobile accidents, says Sidney J. Will
liams, chief of the public safety di-
vision of the National Safety council.
Recognized as an important cause of
industrial accidents, 1t has equal APP
pIlcation to accidents in traffic where,
under certain situations, the mental
condition of the driver determines the
difference between safe and unsafe
driving as we'll as the amount of pleas
ure derived from motoring.
Various Mental States.
Mental states leading to accidents
are classified by Mr. Williams as the
worried mind, the unguarded mind, the
puzzled mind, the stubborn mind, the
misguided mind and the diseased mind.
All these mental states occur more or
less frequently among automobile driv-
ers as the result of either permanent
or temporary conditions. Where they
are permanent, the driver should be
separated from the steering wheel and
accelerator, if he is to be made safe.
Other conditions causing driver
strain arise from environment rather
than from within. The confusion of
congested traffic will, for example,
cause an experienced driver to lose
temporarily the skill he may normally
exhibit. knowledge on the part of the
driver of a defective brake or other
defect In the equipment of his car
would either render him more liable
to accident or make him more careful :;
but 1t is obvious that he cannot drive
with such abnormal alertness-for ex-
ample, without chains on icy and wet
streets-for. several hours at time
without becoming fatigued and thus
liable TO accident
Reduce Accidents.
Accidents would be materially re-
duced if we, first, paid more attention
to the mental factors in driving, and
second, applied this knowledge. both
through legal regulation and personal
self-education and seIf-control.
Removal of mental strain as an ac-
cident factor comes through safer au-
tomobile equipment and the eIimina-
ton of worry and tension in driving.
the removal of the drunken, drugged
or subnormal driver from the streets
and the education of all drivers to
recognize the Importance of their
mental condition as factor in safe
driving.

Keep Outlets Open

All radiators, says writer in the
American Motorist, have an overflow
arrangement to accommodate the nat
ural expansion of the water upon be-
ing heated during the operation of the
motor Frequently they are also
equipped with blow holes to allow the
escape Of steam. If. through the ac-
cumuIation of sediment or dirt, these
outlets become clogged and don't full
an their functions. the result is that
the internal pressure generated will
follow the line of least resistance and
force leak at point where the radi-
ator is weakest. Therefore, 1t Is alb
soluteIy essential that these outlets
be open at all times.

Wrench Constant Friend
of Automobile Drivers

If the owner drives his car con-
stantly it will be an excellent thing
for him to use his monkey-wrench
now and then, says American Motorist
Especially with a new car it is not
bad plan to go over nuts and bolts
occasionally. Even the tightest nut
will be more or less affected by con-
slant vibration and loose bolt should
be frightened, since the play to which
the looseness gives rise may result in
the necessity for later repairs. AS
the car grows a little older the bolts
and nuts settle and there is less oc-
casion for Tightening.
The foregoing advice applies with
particular force to spring clips, a
pulling up Of the nuts of which will
take but few minutes of the oper-
ators time about once month, keep
ing the springs properly seated and
adding much to the sense of security
that is enjoyed by the man who looks
after things and knows that they
have been attended to.
Sometimes it happens that the mo-
torist is unable to keep the nuts fas-
tening the bolts absolutely tight. Try
as he may, the nut will come loose
again. If a lockwasher cannot be ap-
piled, good remedy is to put drop
of solder on the thread of the nut, or
in the absence of solder, little paint
or varnish will set the nut tight and
prevent it from becoming loose again.

Educational week was observed at
the Parrot school Each day the pro-
grams presented in the auditorium
dealt with a different subject. The
speeches and papers delivered on these
occasions were quite interesting and
instructive. There is little doubt in the
minds of the people but that education
is one of the greatest needs OF the
age.
Two Victims of Accidents.
MIR. H. L. Pierce is suffering with
two broken ribs as the result Of a fall
he received few days ago Mr.. Pierce
was climbing board fence when the
fence gave way and he fell on the
splintered edge of board. His friends
are glad that the accident was not
more serious.
Mr.. John Henry Leverette was
painfully injured few days ago when
a mule kicked him in the face. Mr.
Leverette received bruises about the
face and head and two teeth were
driven into the gums.
Residence Caught Fire.
L he 1lTeInSnt were Cdli6u 10 lIS tSo-
dence of Mr.. lobe Gamble on Satur-
day morning about 8 o'clock to eX-
tinguish small blaze. The roof of
Mr.. Candles home had caught fire
near the, chimney and the flames were
spreading rapidly when the discovery
was made Little damage was done,
but the result would have been more
serious but for the timely discovery
and the quick work of the hremen.
Want Pastor Returned.
Rev H. l.. Pearson left Monday
to attend the South Georgia Methodist
conference at Macon. Mr.. Pearson
carriers with him splendid report OF
the good work he has done on the
PARROT charge this year. He and fam
lily have won many friends during
their stay in Parrot, and we hope
that when the conference is over the
new preacher will be the same preach

1t is impossible to take up an illus
trated paper without seeing thrilling
picture of the Deauville beaches,
thronged with bronzed nymphs in
black one-piece bathing suits, each OF
them with an expression in her eyes
that seems to signify; La! La! Me
voici a Deauville.' says the London

about the clothes that are worn or
are not worn at Deauville, or chron-
icing the arrivals there or the depart

All the world is at Deauville; ev-
erywhere you read long lists of per-
sonages at Deauville, which recall
Thackeray's roll call of the celebrities
frequenting Becky Sharp's receptions,
each Of whom had a title derived from
the name of cheese.
In those far-off days "Ain't l the
cheese?" was a proverbial saying, the
burden, also of popular song at
Evans and other nocturnal resorts La
vie Deauville, moreover, is also de-
scribed fully, fulsomely, in all the
French novels which abolish the dis
tinctions between journalism and lit
erature and never allow the hero and
heroine, the villain or the vampire to
do, say, or wear anything which IS
not absolutely down todate.
Deauville! Deauville! The name is
the most persistent note in the great
noise symphony which celebrates the
doings of the most inclusive society
the world has known since the Age of
the Antonines.

Yet the loud and insistent protesta-
tons OF its apostles, daily insisting
that not to be at Deauville in August
is to be dead or, worse STILL damned
in advance of death, lead us to doubt
whether the place really exists at all.
Was Deauville evolved, owing to
the maligu energy of some Partisan
journalist or novelist, from the little
place owned by children which we
visited in pre-war days? The he-rib-
boned cows and nanny goats would
appear in the morning on the road
above the sands, and give milk with
all their might" for the benefit of the
hungry, thirsty young clients, with
the complaisance celebrated in one of
Stevenson's delightful poems of child
hood In the background lurked
mothers and fathers of opulent ply
