FIRST BOY TO JOIN
FISHER BODY GUILD

Joseph w. Koktavy of New Prague
was the first boy in Minnesota to en-
roll in the Fisher Body Craftman's
Guild, which is sponsoring a nation
wide educational program to develop
better craftsmanship among boys
More than 900 awards, valued at
$4,000 and including four university
scholarships will be given to boys
who build the best models of a mini
allure Napoleonic coach. The awards
will be made by renowned educators
along technical lines who have en-
dorsed the Guild movement
Any boy in the United States be-
tween the ages of II and 10 years
inclusive is eligible TO membership in
the Guild. Enrolment blanks may
be secured at any General Motors
dealer. As soon as these blanks have
been received by the Fisher Body
Corporation in Detroit, a member
ship button and complete working
plans for modelling a coach will be
forwarded to the boy.
Owing to the wide age range, two
class divisions have been formed.
one is a junior group comprised of

boys from 16 to 10 inclusive. Awards
will be divided equally between the
two divisions, two scholarships going
to the Juniors and two to the seniors.
In addition to the scholarship
awards, trips to Detroit will be pre-
sented to the boy in each class in each
state whose model is adjudged the
best in the state. Further awards in
cash will be made to the builders of
the second best coach model in each
division In each state, and for indi-
vidual merit on particular parts of

Pursuant to the authority granted by
this section the legislature in 1881 In
creased the number Of associate justices
70 four.
II amended as proposed, this section win
read as follows:
'The supreme court shall consist
OF one chief justice and six associate
justices II shall have original juris-
diction in such remedial cases as may
be prescribed by law. and appellate
jurisdiction in all cases, both in law
and equity, but there shall be no trial
by jury in said court. II shall hold
one or more terms in each year, as
the legislature may direct, at the
seat of government, and the legisla-
ture may provide, by a two-thirds
vote, that one term in each year shall
be held in each or any judicial dis
trict. II shall be the duty of such
court to appoint reporter Of its de-
cisions. There shall be chosen, by

duly elected and qualified: and the
judges Of the supreme court. or
majority OF them. shall have the
power TO fill any vacancy in the Of
fee Of clerk of the supreme court
until an election can be regularly
had"
The supreme court, as now organized
under the constitution, consists of a chief
Justice, and four associate Justices, all
elected by the people. In 1918, In order
TO take care of the Increasing business Of
the court, the legislature passed a law
providing for the appointment Of two
commissioners TO assist the court in the
performance OF Its duties. The act un-
der which these commissioners are ap-
pointed provides that each shall receive
the same compensation as q Justice OF
the supreme court. and also provides that
number Of associate Justices shall be in
creased to six the office Of commissioner
shall without further act be abolished.
In practice the commissioners sit a.
members of the court, hear arguments,
read briefs, take part In discussions,
write opinions, and In general do the same
work as the regular justices, but they
have no vote in determining the final de.
cisions of the court. The legislature can
not give the comm lssioners voice In the
decisions Of the court, since the organ
ization Of the court 10 governed by the
constitution.
The purpose OF the proposed amend
ment Is to provide for the election Of two
more associate Justices with full author
ity as members Of the court, to take the
place Of the present two comm lssio toner's,
who will then cease 70 hold office.
The Effect Of the Proposed Amendment:
The effect Of the proposed amendment,
~ adopted. will be to provide for the cleo

MACHINE MAKES
WROUGHT IRON

A romance Of science. with the
scene laid in a deserted old iron
mill near Pittsburgh. was divulged
here yesterday with the announce
ment Of the discovery Of q long
sought mechanical process for
manufacture Of wrought iron.
The discovery is expected to
have q far.reaching influence upon
the iron industry, it was stated.
Despite its superioritieS to steel
in many ways and for many uses,
wrought IRON has long fought O
losing battle with its great rival,
steel. This was due to the fact
that heretofore, all iron was
wrought oy hand, and production
could offer only puny competition
to the vast outputs Of steel mills,
operating with the Bessemer pro
cess.
Prior to 1870 steel production
was but a small fraction Of
wrought iron output, but the i'm,
provement in steel foundry
methods since that time has vir-
tually wiped out the old iron
puddler." Many metalurgiStS, the
world over, have attempted to re-
produce the work Of teh iron pud.
dler by machinery but with little
success
DR.. James Aston, director OF
the Department Of Mines and
Metalurgy at Carnegie Tech, un-
dertook the problem, however, and
according to the announcement
made yesterday has succeeded in
large quantity production Of
wrought iron by q new method.
Specimens Of this manufacture
sent to the United States Bureau
Of Standards for test. proved to
be the equal. and in some ways
the superior Of the old hand
wrought material. 1t was stated.

PHONE BILLING

Telephone Company viii change
its billing system. It was an
nounced today. The system viii.
provide a rotating method Of
sending out subscribers bills and
viii eliminate the cold method Of
having all bills fall due at one
time.
1t is said the new system will
do away with the great rush
usually effective around the first
Of the month.
Beginning next month, sub
scribers win be billed on alternate
days: one exchange sending out
their bills on one day and others
following on later dates.
This Is a new wrinkle locally
and may be adopted by other
firms If the experiments Of the
telephone company prove feasible,
1t was learned today.
A large number of local firms
admitted that they could simplify
their accounts If they were able
to send out bills in several lots
In place Of one batch.

York in Its statement Of condition

Mount RushmOre Memorial.
Cincinnati Enouirer.)

The assignment to write the history of the United States in five hundred words smacks of the ridculous it suggests detraction from the na- tional dignity and achievement. This truth cannot be affected by the eminence of any individual se- lected for the task. It simply cannot be done in any way that could be considered fitting and worthy.
 If this mountain is to be made to serve the purposes of a memorial to the greatness of the progress and accomplishment of the country through one hundred and fifty years of national existence why not simply carve thereon in letters of heroic size: Washington founded this Nation; Lincoln preserved it; Roosevelt established it in security.
 But the whole thing is silly unless it is sup posed to be glorified complication of modern advertisng-one more scarfication of the beautiful out-of-doors, done in harmony with the sugges- tions of sordd contemplation.

BABE RUTH'S SALARY.

Some commentators Babe Ruths demand for an annual salary of $S5,00O from the New York Yankees seem aggrieved because he had demanded sum larger than that paid to the President of the United States. This to be farfetched as basis of grievance As President of the United States, the famous wrecker of World Series base ball games and slugger extraordinary probably wouldn't be worth 85 cents, and he would be among the first to admit it. But he knows his slugging and what it is worth to the Yankees, not alone for the games it has won but for the money which it has brought into the teams coffers.
 The Babe stands out as the biggest drawing card in major league baseball Wherever he ap- pears with the Yankees, the turnstiles click and the cash boxes ring with the cash that fans are gladly willing to pay just the chance that they will him clout the ball into regions far from the park enclosure He didn't get his $85,000 de- mand, but he did get a contract calling for s8O- GOO for two more years. On this he should be able to keep the wolf away from the door, and, unless he should lose his batting eye and mighty wallop, the Yankees stand to net profit.
