WHEN PRESIDENT COOLIDGE


recentlv said, "The integrity OF the
Union rests on the Constitution" he
sounded again the admonition to ev-
erv state and every person that the
supreme law of the land knows no
difference between citizens. His
words will be interpreted by colored
neople the country over as meaning
that integrity cannot live where the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments are abrogated by "Grandfa-
ther" clauses and other means OF
evasion. whereby some citizens are
Disseminated against, contrary to
the spirit and will of the Constitu-
tion. The Presidents statement calls
for full respect for every constltu-
tional clause, whether it relates to
life. liberty, property or person. Full
enforcement of every Article and
Amendment will bring about peace
contentment and pure national
conscience in every state in the
Union.
THAT WORRY or anger interferes
with digestion is not new theory
although most people who are wor-
ried or mad" during meals are to be
preoccupied to remember it. The
medical correspondent of the Lon
don Times carries it further, insist
ing that conversation at the table
should be gentle and digestive"
Families who never sit down to-
gether without getting into a snarl'
people who go out to lunch together
to talk over business, even the now
popular luncheon clubs where speak
ers of more or less note start dis
cussions. are warned by this author
itv against mental concentration at
mealtime" as injurious to the pro-
cess of digestion. Nor, he warns,
will eating alone avoid the danger,
because it is precisely then that the
solitary diner thinks Of worries he
should forget while he eats.
The blood which should be engag-
ed in the work of digestion must not
be DETECTED to the brain. With this
clew the culture of "digestice con-
versation" is added to the list of
modern panaceas. Judging by the
chatter heard on street cars a great
many are already expert in it.

SIXTY YEARS AGO boys and girls
were adept at weaving rag rugs,
knotting quilts, carding wool, spin
ming homespun and stretching car
pets. Today boys and girls know
the entire abe of the automobile, the
electric household utensils, the
steam heat system, the aeroplane
and the radio. But the youth of to-
day knows little of what constituted
the store of knowledge Of the youth
of yesterday.
The omniscience of youth in every
era is ever amazing, but that Of to-
day would be inexplicable but for
one thing more than all others. That
is advertising. In the newspapers,
magazines and poster boards chill
dren are finding vast storehouse of
practical and useful information and
instruction. The value of this in
cidentally acquired knowledge can
not be measured in classroom hours. |
The youth of America is finding that
advertising pays it.
Psychologists have expounded the
theory that truths are sometimes OBJ
served first by the adolescent. In the
case of advertising it may truthfully
be said that there are some of ma
ture age who have not yet learned
the value of advertising. Advertisers
do not buy newspaper, magazine and
billboard space for the edifcation of
the public, either Juvenile or adult,
but they recognize the children of
today are not only potent factor in
the business to today but the decid-
ing factors in the business of tomor-
row.
%eG&
IN SUSSEX COUNTY there is a
burned over tract of what was two
years ago, growing young timber,
which in a few brief years would
have been ready to turn into either
piling, building lumber or useful for
other purposes and would have
brought the owners forty thousand
dollars or more. That section is 10
Gated lust east from Ellendale as its
northern limits, and extends for sew
araI miles down the county until it
reaches the section northeast from
Georgetown. For a week that fire
was a spectacle of destruction and
terrifying to those who had proper
~ in sight of the great fire. A drive
through that part of eastern Sussex
this summer revealed the burned and
r,,ined forest, with the trees almost
worthless even for firewood, still
standing but not one green twig to
be seen.
All the statistics in the world are
