bf American ports so that school children can board and inspect the traft whose conquests of the seas erowd many pages of United States history.
 For years prior to the restoration work begun in 1928, Old Ironsides had rested in obscurity at the Bos- ton navy yard, scene of todays un- docking, tenantless except for the crowd of memories that pcopled her deck.
 It was just century ago that the government decided that this pioneer warship was unseaworthy and should be broken up and sold for junk. Then q young man named Oliver Wendell Holmes sent 10 a newspaper a few lines of verse, which read in part:
 "Oh better that her shattered hulk f'Should sink beneath the wave; 'Her thunders shook the mighty
 deep,
 "And there should be her grave; s'Nail to the mast her holy flag, cSet every threadbare sail. "And give her to the God of Storms, "The lightning and the gale"
 Government machinery. inspired by this poem. was set at work 10 restore Old Ironsidcs and soon she was sailing the seas again, but now on missions of peace instead of in the belligerent mood that had won her an indelible place in history.

 The Constitution, only t7I feet long, with 431a foot beam and 1876 tons displacement, would be rated only couple of notchc5 above the rowboat class according to present naval standards. Hut in her prime she was the terror Of the soa.
 Though holding innumcrhlc claims to lasting fame. old Iron sides best known conquest took place on August 10, 1872 when she encountered the British ;r,eata Guerrierc off the Maasachucus coast and defeated her after a terrific battle.
 It was that fight which won for the Constitution the sobriQuct "Old 1ronsides.''
 When, today, the black hull Of the -year-old vessel slipped back into the sea. it only served 10 olu- pha5ize what @ seaman said when he saw Q shot strike her during thn Guerricre engagement and bounce back into the water:

DI MeIIHuHuIOC OC . Is it fair to penalize a buyer so severely-simply because the ac- commodation is temporarily a necessity?
 Credit should not be a weapon-- in the hands of those who have the power to give this credit. The family that buys necessities though they cannot pay at once in cash-deserves as much con- sideration-as fair a price-as the buyer of luxuries.
 When you buy an automobile. you don't pay cash-it's on a time payment plan. Yet the total of the time payment price is very, little more than the cash price. The same applies to other luxur- ies-radios, refrigerators and so forth.
 If it can be done with luxuries with a reasonable handling charge for financing-why not dresses, suits, coats, shoes, stock ings? Merchandise of standard names, of real quality, sold by reputable merchants - Merchandise that you would prefer to buy if you had the cash-Merchandise that looks good, that wears well-sold by merchants who do not hesitate to stand back of everything that they sell.
 It should De possible to or. range C plan Which uould enable any deserUing man or Won1an to buy necessities Of quality-on credit -but pay little more than tue cash price.
