MATERIAL IMPORTS
DELAY MALL BIDS
$500, Development Pro.
gram Hits Another Snag
in Tree Removals.

Award of a contract for construction
of the two inner roads In The Mall
development, from Third to Four
teenth streets, is being delayed. it was
learned today, pending a decision on
whether foreign materials. proposed for
use by some of the bidders, will bar a
valid contract.
Some days ago, the Bureau of Public
Roads opened bids, as the agent for the
Office of National Parks, Buildings and
Reservations, for the two roads. Be-
cause of the disparity in the cost OF
foreign goods and the fact that gen.
orally American materials are preferred
consideration is being given to putting
the problem up to Controller General
McCarl for decision.
The complete launching of the
100000 public works program for i'm
provement OF The Mall ran into another
snag last week, when ranking authori-
ties in the Interior Department called
Secretary Ickes' attention to the fact
that workmen were removing trees from
The Mall. cutting down those no longer
serv1ceable and preparing to trans
plant others elsewhere in the park
system. Orders we're issued to Arno B
Cammerer. director of the Office of
National Parks, Buildings and Reserva-
tions, to bar the work for the time be-
ing and these were passed on to c,

gagged on this work until called of.

as the eastern terminus of The Mall.
Barring another aspect of The Mall
development is the heating plant that
shuts out the vista from the Capitol to
the Washington Monument and serves
the group of temporary buildings in the
vicinity of Seventh street. Omcials be-
lieve that they will just about be able
to construct the roadways with the
building standing. They expect that

These plans have received the approval
of the Fine Arts Commission and the

Commission and are based on the park
plan of 1901 and the L'Enfant plan.
On the plea that the plans were ready
for execution, the Public Works Admin
istration allocated 100000 for the
work two months ago. Comparatively
little has been done in getting the
project which falls within Secretary
Ickes' department, under way.
Exercised over the matter, Frederic
A. Delano, chairman of the National

assure Secretary Ickes that removal of
the trees is imperative If the roads are

Reuiual in Religion
Is Held Needed to
Keep Up Birth Rate
Msgr. John n. Ryan
Fears Economic Prob.
lens Viii Recur.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, December 18.-Recur-
rent economic problems attendant upon
a declining birth rate were forecast
yesterday by Msgr. John A. Ryan of
the Catholic University of America
Washington, D. C., in an address at the
Cleveland Community Religious hour
unless America experiences a revival
of religion.
He cited statistics intended to show
that the birth rate in large cities had
failed to maintain the population level
since 1922 by approximately IS per
cent, that it had failed in smaller
cities by from 10 to Is per cent and
that the deficiency was between 2 and
per cent for the Nation.
Authorities" he said, estimate that
the present decline will make our pop
ulation stationary some time between
1945 and 1860, when it should reach
a total of approximately $4,000. 900.
1t should remain stationary for about
a decade, when decrease in the total
will begin"
At that point, said Msgr. Ryan, a
recurrence of present economic problems
probably would be experienced, due to
narrowing of markets for agricul-
tural and other products, lowered real
estate values and reduced demand for
new buildings.
Religion and an adequate conception
of morals. he held, were the only fac
tors to combat population decline.

Method Provided

In 1924, while Mr.. Coolidge
was President, Congress pro-
posed by a two-thirds vote in
both Houses the Child Labor
amendment which is now be-
fore the several States for rati-
fication after two Federal laws
to stop child labor had been
declared unconstitutional.
An amendment to the Con-
Stitution can not take effect,
even after it has been proposed
by a two-thirds vote in both
Houses Of Congress, until it
has been ratified either by the
legislatures of three-fourths of
the States, or by special con-
ventions in three-fourths Of the
States.
The trainers of the Consti-
tuition purposely made the
method of amendment difficult
in order to raise the Constitu-
tion above the ordinary law
and make it, as Prof. Young,
in his interesting book on
"The New American Govern
ment and Its Work" said
something apart from the
changing majority of the mo-
ment."
AS result, nowhere among
civilized peoples is there a
greater reverence and respect
for a political document than
is shown by Americans for the
Great Law of 1897"
This devotion of the Amer
1can people to the Federal Con-
Stitution is centered, however,
on its fundamental principles
and does not prevent the
people from changing their ma
tional organic law when. in
their deliberate judgment, a
change will better serve the
great purposes set forth in the
preamble of the Constitution.
The purpose of the first 10
amendments to the Constitu-
ton, which were made during
the presidency Of Washington,
was to prevent the Federal
Government from violating

Three-Minute Journeys
By Temple Manning

A real link with the past Is
the mechanical clock Of the old
town hall. The timepiece is
one Of the oldest, if not the
oldest clock in Europe. Legend
has it that the craftsman who
wrought it was blinded so that
he should not duplicate his
masterpiece. At the hour on
each side of the gigantic dial,
windows fly open and a pro-
cession Of Christ and His an
gels slowly passes. At the end
of the procession Of the amaz-
ing figures, comes Judas with
his bag Of money and then the
skeleton death, with his scythe.
The whole thing is uncanny
and one is drawn back each
day to look on the strange
procession.
The old royal palace is gor-
geous. Then there's the glori-
Gus cathedral of st. Vitus.
Back of this edifice is the
strange, pagan looking chapel
built early in the tenth CEN
tury, and nearby is the tiny
cobbled thoroughfare, famous
as the Street of the Alchemists,
or the Golden Street. 1t was
in houses on this street that
alchemists went almost insane
trying to obey the command of
their scientifically minded en-
peror, Rudolf II. to make gold
for him. The modern emperors,
kings Of commerce, have much
more matter-of fact but sure
methods Of making gold.

OF the 48 States Of the Union,
to which it was submitted by
Congress in 1924 for ratifica-
ton, the proposed Child Labor
Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution has already been rati-
fled by 16 States.
When 20 more States have
given their legislative consent
to ratification, it will be pro-
claimed by President Roosevelt's
Secretary of State as the
Twenty-second Amendment to
the Constitution.
Then Congress will use the
power which this amendment
will bestow to regulate the labor
of all young Americans under
18 years of age so that all will
be given the protection of the
Federal Government against en-
forced labor that will retard
their physical development, or
deprive them of that free school
ing, which is the birthright Of
every citizen.

Vital Spark

The old-time melodramatio
phrases, "shot in the heart"
stabbed to the heart" will
lose their lethal significance if
the surgeons, who are just
about the most admirable Of
all professional workers, keep
on passing their special mira
cleS.
Out in Chicago the heart Of
a 16-year-old boy stopped beat
ing because of a deep stab
wound and loss of blood, but
the surgeons flying fingers had
just the necessary 30 seconds
to sew up the wound and mas
sage the heart back to func-
tioning. An Indian in British
Columbia was stabbed in the
heart, and again the surgeon
sewed up the slashed heart and
kept it ticking away.
A Swedish surgeon is credited
with three of these miracles. the
last one being the case Of a
woman from whose heart a
blood clot almost invisible to
the eye had to be removed. Her
heart was stopped for four min
uteS and was then started
again as a man might start a
watch.
Very dimly the science Of SUR
gerry, working shoulder to shoul"
der with the science of chemis-
try, gropes for the great secret
of the mystery Of life, that
marvellous and vital spark
which often burns so resolutely
in the heart Of the frail and
invalid, and often expires with
such shocking suddenness in
the seemingly robust and
strong. 4

Hugo Eckener, that bearded
master mariner Of cloudland,
is one who "came to scott and
remained to pray" He was a
metaphysician, an authority on
art, a student of political econ
omy and a journalist, in the
days when he ridiculed the pos
sibility of flying liners.
He was past 40, this Ger
man scholar and scientist, when
Count Zeppelin began building
the great, cigar-shaped gas
bags that have come to bear
his name. Eckener poked fun
at them and at the enthusi-
sstic count. He laughed at "the
air counts air castles" But
Count Zeppelin good-naturedly
endured the jokes and jibes
and one day inveigled DR.. Eek
ener into a chess game. He
made an ardent convert Of the
Scoffer.
