 Series of Compromises The Constitution is a series of compromises, averred MT. Bowman Of the original 55 members of the Convention only 39 signed the Constitution because many left for their homes in disgust, before it's completion.
 MT. Bowman described the amendments which have been ad- ded to the Constitution. The first ten, the Bill of Rights, were draft ed soon after the formation of the original document. The eleventh amendment gives the states sup erior rights over citizens. Then for sixty years no amendment was ad- ded until the 18th, 14th and 18th freeing the slaves, making them citizens and giving them the right to vote.
 In 1913 the 18th amendment was passed to provide for the income tax; the l7th, the election of U. s. Senators by the people; everyone knows what the 18th amendment is; and the last, the 19t.l, gives women the right to vote.
 In conclusion, MT. Bowman as- serted that every person should read the constitution carefully and diligently

ADOPTION OF CONSTITUTION
 BOWMAN'S TOPIC AT PIT. A

Since the country is celebrating the 20Cth Anniversary of the birth of George Washington this year, Supt. Bowman made the Constitu- ton the subject of his talk before the Douglas PIT. A. last evening.
 The Revolutionary War was fought with Great Britain more for a principle than because the Col onies were over-taXed. They want ed part in passing the laws gov- erning them, declared MT. Bow man. From the Battle of Yorktown, 1781, until the adoption of the Constitution was a critical period in the history of the colonies, be- cause there was no written instru- ment of government to hold the various colonial governments to- gether. During they war they were united by a common danger and a common interest but with peace they became 13 separate and distinct states.
 May, 1787, fifty-five members, making up one of the finest intel lectual bodies that has met any where, gathered in Philadelphia to amend the Articles of Confed- eration. Finding the amendment of the articles hopeless task, they drew up a new instrument of government, after working from

Chapter 31 CONFLICTING VERSIONS

There was a long pause, anG then Sam stirred uneasily. I'll won't be easy" she said in small muffled voice. And you're going to hate me when I'm done. What I have to say isn't very pleasant Peak"
 Dent worry about that" He was curt. I'm more prepared than you know. can also assure you that nothing you can say will make me hate you
 She turned toward him. Do you remember, she asked swiftly something that you asked me last night in the summer houSe?"
 T remember quite alot of things I asked you last night in the Hol- combs summer house." He was playing idly with the gear shift lever.
 Tt was just at the cnd-just be- fore We came home Do you re- member asking me if there was anybody else?'
 "Yes," He nodded. q shouldn't have said it. I'm sorry"
 Please don't" She was close to tears. There's nothing for you to be sorry about. Peak, because, you see there was somebody else D
 Oh" He was quite calm. 50 that's what you wanted to tell me this afternoon I rather guessed it at the time. I also rather guessed that could supply his name. His name is Freddy Munson, isn't it, Sam?"
 "Yes." Her voice was barely audible. His name is Freddy Munson.'
 T see" Peak lit cigarette. Well he said quietly at last, ''let's hear about it. Let's hear all about it from the beginning"
 All right Sam seemed calmer now; as though the hardest part of her confession had been made. "I'm not ashamed of the beginning of the thing. It began when there was no reason why it should not begin-sometime before Christmas He and l were sent out on some assignment from the office to gether, and afterward I brought him back here for supper She drew a long breath. Well, I liked him, and after that saw lot of him. I don't know why I liked

Aren't you going to tell me jus
 how I did it?"
 "Is it necessary to go into all tht grim details? You undoubtedly said that you had had brain. storm and in the midst of it hac made a terrible mistake. You in. dicated that you were quite sant again now, and you wanted tc remedy the mistake You asked il it was possible to remedy it? Ht said, with appropriate gestures that it was eminently possible. Tht curtain fell slowly to soft music"
 Sam said nothing. She sat mo- tionless.
 And now Peak continued gently, i've are in the midst of the epilogue. You are telling me what has happened and are asking me not to think badly of you I in my turn, am saying that I under stand perfectly, and that you have nothing to regret. Nothing more remains but for me to wish you all kinds of happiness, and to take myself quietly away"
 He sat up and reached into a pocket for his gloves. And now I think I'd better be saying good night"
 "Oh, Peak, you're wonderful" Sam turned and put her hand on his arm. You're so beautifully gorgeously sure of yourself! Do you want me to tell you the true ver- sion of what happened this noon?"
 If you like. If it isn't too pain full"
 "It isn't painful, at all. It's rather prosaic. Freddy and I had lunch. We discussed Fourth's in vention. We talked about new dresses and the parties I'd been going to lately. After that Freddy had to hurry away, because he was catching a train for New York
 Peak smiled politely. 50 that's the true version is it? You haven't omitted any little details, I SUD- posel"
 Not many" She shook her head. I've given you practically a complete story of what hap pened. Don't you believe it, Peak" |"
