READ The CONSTITUTION

It would be interesting to know how many Americans have read
the Costitution Of the United States, the document upon which the
republic was built, since they passed on Of school.
The chances are that far less than ten per cent could honestly
say that they have read it. They have seen a few quotations from it
IN articles and editorials; they know vaguely that its purpose is to
guarantee liberty and opportunity for all, and to assure stable, rep
resentatlve government, and that's about all they know.

SPANISH REVOLT

ASturiaS Miners Ready to
Fight Nov. %: Madrid

Copyright. 1884. BY United Press
MADRID, Nov. Miners Of the

in the recent Socialist revolt, are
determined to revolt again and some
Of them name Nov. % as date for
new uprising, it was learned today.
Vast stores of arms remain in the

Communists not alone in Asturlas,
but in Madrid, it was learned.
The aftermath Of the Socialist re-
volt has MADE Gear also three i'm
portant facts:
/. The revolt failed, if for no
other reason, because its leaders,
aghast at the bloodshed, did not
turn over to their men the arms
they stored in Madrid, their big
arsenal.
2. While the revolt leaders really
aimed at returning the government
to it's early left-wing Republican
bent, hot-headed youths turned the
reVolt into one aimed at a dictator
ship Of the proletariat and ad-
vanced its date from mid-October to
Oct. 5.
3. If any revolt of left wing ele-
ments succeeded in Spain, it would
bring another one headed by a
military dictator.
The most vivid impression brought
back to Madrid by those who Wis
tied the Asturias region is not the
vision of the smoking ruins of the
city of Oviedo, the usual, and usual
ly untrue, stories of atrocities, nor
even the sight of the bodies lying
in the streets under the hot sun.
1t is that despite the destruction
and death, the AsturiaS miners are
not downcast but are proud of their
fight and are determined to start
another revolt as soon as possible.
They are surrendering to the SOL
diers such arms as are found only
that they may be left alone to pre-
pare for the next uprising.

Street Lights
Expensive Economy

President Roosevelts conception of Washington beau
tfu city residences should receive severe shock next
when the full effect of the drastic and silly curtaiment
of District appropriations the coming fiscal year becomes
evident
One of the noteworthy effects of the false economy rantngs
Of certain legislators will be the cut in street lights
which, it is announced, will 60 into effect Sunday.
This cut affecting virtually every street in the city Of
beautiful residences brought about by the arbitrary and
unreasonng slash of $4,000 made in the street lighting
appropriation.
The city and its residents going to pay for that sav
ing many times Every visitor to the National Capital is
going be affected by the reduction in night lighting
EVERY STREET BECOMES POTENTIALLY MORE
PROFITABLE FOR THE THIEF AND THE THUG. EVERY
HIGHWAY BECOMES POTENTIALLY THE SCENE FOR
GREATER NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
Why?
The District taxpayers asked that that

never asked if they wanted it,
THE ONLY REASON WE CAN THINK OF FOR THE
CUT IS THAT THEY DON'T SPEND so MUCH FOR

Of course, Abilene Texas not the National Capital and
it not the city of which the President recently spoke

which the needs of the District of Columbia Judged

IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED THAT THE CUT IN
THE CITY's STREET LIGHTING IS ONLY ONE OF THE
MANY D1sCoMF0RTs TO WHICH THE CITY's RESI-
DENTS WILL BE SUBJECTED WHEN THE 1885 BILL

nkng Of what it is all about be told Of what

We hope that the good superintendent isn't going adopt
the policy which has often brought the Board Education
into disrepute and controversy.
The board upon different occasions has thought that the
affairs which it transactng private
tive sessions were held.
These sessions called conferences an obvious effort
to evade the law which prescbes that all meetings of the

Congressman Thompson also
gave the Senate Committee
some interesting testimony re-
garding the sapping expeditions
to prevent the upbuilding Of

gard:

Rument that haze been able
to find in the record is the

ment a great deal of money in
caring for these young men. I
am Ucry sorry that it did not
get to the floor of the House,
because I believe it Mould haze
passed With very little OPpOsi-
ton"
Buried in Committee
The reason the Thompson
bill did not get to the floor Of
the House was because it was
buried in the House Committee
on Military Affairs. So was the
War Department bill to provide
for a CHG Air Force, which
would give to the United States
a military air force unsurpassed
by any other nation. So was
buried in the same committee
every constructive legislative
proposal that has been intro
duced in Congress for the last
four or five years.
And the testimony of the
witnesses called in support of
the Thompson bill was buried
in the same House Committee
on Military Affairs, and would
never have seen the light Of
print but for the action of the
Senate in ordering it's own COM
mittee to get the facts about
the Army and publish them for
the information of the Con-
greSs and the country.

Dionne's quintuplets comes re-
ports that the birth rates OF
England and the United States
are reaching new low figures
for all times. Quintuplets are
rare indeed, with only 80 cases
being reported in 500 years, the
last of which I can find a
record being that Of a Russian
peasant woman, Anna Boeva,
who, when SO years old, in 1927,
gave birth to five baby girls.
They lived five days, all dying
within five minutes Of each
other.
That very large school OF
thought which views a decreas-
ing population as a serious
menace to the white race. is
much concerned over the fall
ing off of single births, not to
speak of quintuplets.
Steady Falling Off
In New York city an average
of about 1000 babies used to
be born each week. The figure
today is much below that,
whereas Chicago, in 1888,
reached its lowest mark in Is
years with 53,129 births, the
ratio being Is births to every
1000 population, as against rs
in 1901. Eight less babies are
being born in each 1000 Of the
population of the entire coun'
try than were being born 20
years ago. The gradual decline
since 1915 has been accelerated
and last years figures are ex-
pected to go below the TIA per
cent of 1882. In 1915 it was
ISL per cent.
In England and Wales the
percentage of births over deaths
is close to the vanishing point.
Last year in those countries
only eighty-four thousand more
mortals came into the world
than passed out of it. This
figure, which was seventy thou
sand below the five-year aver
age, brought the birth rate
down to 14.4 as compared to
the death rate of 1913.
A. G. Gardiner, eminent
publicist, mourns the fact
that England is becoming a
nation of old people with the
automobile supplanting the per-
ambulator. He sees danger, too
from the East, where Japan is
adding to her population by
four babies a minute. France,
Germany and italy are en-
gagged in a race to increase
their birth rates. Of the three,
only italy shows a slight meas
ure of success in that her de-
cline since 1910 has not been in
proportion OF those OF the oCner
two countries.
The propaganda Of propa'
CATION is paramount with Mus
Solini and Hitler. Each has sub
Sidized marriage in the form
of work, cash bonuses and

hfteT lengthy SECRET inquiry
a subcommittee Of the House
Military Affairs Committee,
made the startling demand that
Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois,
chief OF the Air Corps, be re-
moved because OF "inefficiency."
In its castigation Of the Air
Corps chief, the subcommittee
pointed to the record Of the
Army fliers who carried the
air mail following cancellation
Of contracts with private lines.
The membership listed the dead
of the Army aviators who were
killed while attempting to fly
the mail. The subcommittee
tried to charge Foulois with
mishandling that job.
There is one man who ap-
parently doesn't agree with the
subcommittee. He Is Senator
Kenneth D. Mcclellan CD OF
Tennessee, chairman Of the
Senate Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads.
In a POSSESSION issue of the
Congressional Record, Mcclellan
lists the accidents, including
fatalities, that have occurred in
private and commercial flying
which he compares to the list
of Army dead who flew the mail
under adverse conditions in
winter.
In his statement Mcclellan
says:
81 want here and now to say
that, in my judgment, the Army
did a splendid job under Gen.
eraI FOuloiS!"
That statement in itself is OF
significance, for in making 1t
Senator Mcclellan takes the
part of a man who has been
challenged unanimously by a
House subcommittee. Further
than that, however, Mcclellan
adds to his statement in the
Record by saying:
Looking at the list Of per-
sons killed in private and COM
mercial aviation in favorable
weather, one may come to the
conclusion that the Army did
very well.
81 have the greatest conf
dence in General FOulOiS.."
It must be remembered that
Mcclellan has made thorough
study of air mail, ocean mail,
and all other mails. He has
condemned large subsidies for
carriers for air and ocean mail
for years. He objected to the
payment of tremendous sub
sides for the transportation Of
a few ounces of mail. He
agreed that the contracts
should be cancelled and so it
is understandable that he would
uphold the Army service at
flying mail.
Regardless Of McKellar's
views or the report of the sub
committee concerning Foulois,
there is one thing that is fairly
certain. Whether or not the
subcommittee can substantiate
it's charges against the Air
Corps chief makes little differ
ence as far as his continued
service is concerned.
Members of the subcommittee
know that in the face of their
report it is almost certain that
a successor will be found for
the general.
He may be competent man
but ways probably will be found
to appoint a man to take over
the air corps, regardless of the
innocence or guilt Of its pres
ent chief.
That is the way things work.
