An average session Of the British
Parliament will have less than 300
bills introduced, and few of these
pass. On the first day of the present
session Of Congress, the Senate in
troduced 955 bills. and the House of
Representatives. 1927. BY the end
Of the week the House record was
443O. Probably the total will rcach
thirty Thousand, this Congress.
Allowing for average sessions
daily, with the usual holidays, and
giving one minute apiece to the bills,
it would take all the session, from
now until the anticipated adjourn
mcnt date in June, just for that one
minute apiece, if no other business
were transacted. 1t would be barely
enough for the mere form Of intro
ducing them, if that were done in
open house, one ut 4 time, as used
to be done.
To give even one in Il hundred of
them real consideration is, Of course,
Il physical impossibility. Aud yet,
Congress insists on tackling the job
by methods invented when there
were fewer bills introduced in 10
years than are now presented in Il
day.
Of nine hundred convicts admitted
to Sing Sing last year, eight hun
dred had only a primary school ed
ucation, or less. and virtually none
was college graduate. Yet $40 Of
them were under 80, or within the
generation in which high school and
college education haze been easily
open to everybody. Evidently the
much.vaunted moral decay of Our
higher educational institutions is a
fiction.

Meckncss Is Really an American Quality

America is, supposedly at least, a Christian n;l-
--tion. And of the most striking tenets of our
faith is this: The meek shall inherit the earth"
Now the outward evidences OF Americas meek
ness. which would naturally be expected to pro
-cccd from the religion that claim. are not suc':
would excite the instant wonder OF casual Wis
49,. Indeed, some OF oldest and most observing
inhabitants are utterly unable to find any trace at
all Of mcekneSs III national character. And yet
at the same time we al insist that either we, ot
our descendants. shall, Americans, most decid-
cdly inherit at least goody and fertile share of
/. .lhe earth.
Obviously, sometimes WrCng.
= Perhaps conception o: what constitutes meek
ness is at fault
There is a meekness which is mere spinclcssncss.
This unfortunately, is the commonly accepted
ing OF the word. But there is another kind OF
-lncckness, less easy to describe, which seems to
rather more like the quality expect Americans
to display
It's rather hard to say just what this kind Of
meckness includes. Perhaps We say that it
calls for the Willingness to forget oneself utterly
in devotion to some cause the willingness to hold
life and happiness very cheap if they be bar,
tered for something that will benefit an ideal; tn"
Willingness to be completely unselfsh far as
personal ends are concerned, but very positive and
determined when common aspirations and ma
--ional visions involved
Viewed thus, meekness becomes a different qual
ity

ITO slavery wiped out That is, he attained "a
magnificent fprgetfulness OF his own fortunes in his
burning, fanatcal insistence that this blot be re
moved from America. So he went to his scaffod

and it is not true that all cases Of

Exercise in the open air, regular
bathing, free elimination and nutri-

To avoid blackheads and acne, the
first essential as far as local condi-
items are concerned is cleanliness
Scrub your face with soap and wa

afraid that you will injurc your skin
by rubbing hard with a face cloth.
After you have scrubbed your face
well. dry your face and apply cold
cream. Rub off the cold cream with
rough cloth. This wet cleaning
and dry cleaning process should take
place at least twice a day, but the
use of various widely advertised
soaps and lotions should be avoided.
In general. the safest and best
plan if you have developed acne is
to consult reputable physician or
skin specialists. Real cleanliness is
the first essential.
