within one to four yaers after s,h-

Laplng aside the method of
proposing constitutional amend
ments by a national Convention ,,
Mr. Mitchell added, ''the procedure
TOT amending the national constitu-
ton is as follows:
Ihe proposals for amendment
originate in congress and subnise
sion must be authorized in each
mouse by two-thirds vote of those
present and voting.
The Presidents approval of the
proposal is not required bv the
constitution and he has NO const;e
ments.
After an amendment is pro-
posed by congress it goes to the
states for ratification.
Congress decides whether the
ratification shall be by the state
legislatures or state Conventions
"nosen for that purpose.
Congress may fix a reasonable
time limit for ratification. A fair
guess is that the time limit may be
from four to seven years.
congress may submit not one,
but several proposals on the same
subject, leaving the choice to the
states.
IF the state convention system
state legislatures provide for hold
ing state conventions, the delegates
TO be elected by the people.
An amendment proposed by
congress becomes part of the con-
stitution If ratified by SO of the 4s
states within the time prescribed
by the congress.

No Set Paths Followed
Out By Retiring Chiefs
Only Two Ex-Presidents of United
States Continue to Serve
Government

What does a man do after he has
been president of the United
States?
President Hoover has announced
that when he leaves the White
house on March he will return to
his home on the Stanford univer-
sity campus in Palo Alto, Calf. But
he has not made known the di-
rection in which he plans to exer-
else his executive and engineering
talents. Nor does precedent pro-
vide any guide, for the careers of
Americas ex-presidents show
wide variety of activity and mac
tivity. a
In Europe, prominent places in
public affairs usually are reserved
for retiring heads of governments.
Only two Americans, however, have
held governmental positions after
leaving the White house.
John Quincy Adams was elected
to congress in 1880, two years after
his defeat by Jackson, and served
Is years in the house. ~
Taft served as co-chairman of the
War Labor board and later became
chief justice of the supreme court.
Three ex-presidents, Van Buren,,
Fillmore and Roosevelt, headed
third-party tickets. All were de-
feated. e..
Jefferson remained out of public
life but for years had an active part
in shaping politics of the Demo-
cratic party.
Grant wrote his memoirs to help
pay his debts.
Hayes and Benjamin Harrison
practiced law. rE -
Washington was called out of re-,
tirement to take command of the
United States army when war with
France threatened in 1898.
Coolidge, now the only living ex-
president, returned to his North
hampton, Mass, home when he left
the White house in 1929. He has
devoted some time to writing news
paper and magazine articles. He
made two addresses in behalf of the
Republican ticket. in the last cam
paign.
Many of President Hoover's cab
met secretaries are members of the
bar and it is expected that some of
them will resume practice. The
cabinet lawyers are Secretary of
State Stimson, Secretary of War
Hurley, Attorney General Mitchell,
Postmaster General Brown, Secre-
tary of Navy Adams, and Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde.
Secretary Of Commerce Chaplin is
expected to resume his position as
head of a large Detroit automobile
company. Secretary of Interior
Wilbur probably will return to the
presidency of Stanford university.

Tree Ring Calendar

No doubt you have often Won
dered how scientists tell the dates
Of the various famous old ruins
they find in western United States.
Neil M. Judd, curator of New world
archaeology at the National mu-
scum, says nature provides an ex-
act calendar for science in it's
search for these dates. Buried
trees tell the age of the ruins al
most to the year by their petrified
rings, he claims. Whenever a bit
of old log or timber is found it is
carefully dug up and saved. A
cross-section of such find shows
the rings which give the approx
mate dates it grew and was buried.

This factor is essential for the
conscientious performance of du-

lawyer. The teacher who studies
