Folks Talk Constitution;
How Many Have Read It?

80 were under the age of IS, some in
the twenties.
But after all, said the speaker. the
Constitution was not new. Virginia
had a like document. and they started
to write it 600 years earlier in Eng
land. The English demanded of their
king the Magma Charta in writing in
1915. Every Englishman should be
proud of that, said Mr.. Devaney.
The Bill of Rights, giving freedom
of speech and press, was produced in
1868 and the English parliament was
established at that time. Political
parties came into being then. Twelve
colonies in America had their own
Bill of Rights when the Constitu-
ton was written. Free men have had
the right of jury trial for 700 years.
Before the Constitution was ratified,
it was amended 10 times.
"And yet" said the chief justice,
cit is not a sacred document" Ben
jamin Franklin said it was made to
be changed as the country grew and
developed. 1t is not sacreligious.
Diverting, the speaker said there has
been great development of industry
the machine, but asked: Have we de-
veloped men with it? The machine
should be made the servant of the
people rather than its master.
Concluding the chief justice said
that the Constitution is the peoples
Magma Charta, their Bill of Rights.
1t is their shield against oppression.
We can go forward under tit is for
people of all walks, a great heritage,
a great document, worth fighting for.

United Press Staff Correspondent
WIMBLEDON, England, July 30.
1t is to be hoped, for Americas s
sake, that the golf critics on this
side of the Atlantic are incorrect
in their estimate of Miss Pam
Barton.
If all the things they say of the
l7-year-old girl are true, America
is likely to wait many more years
before winning the one major golf
title that has eluded it's repre-
sentativeS throughout the years
the women's British amateur.
In Miss Barton the critics see
a natural successor to that mighty
triumvirate of golfing despots -
Cecil Leitch, Joyce Wethered and
Enid Wilson. Between them, this
trio accounted for the champion
ship ten times, which is probably
only about half the total they
might we'll have accumulated but
for unfortunate circumstances.
The war undoubtedly cost Miss
Leitch three or four champion
ships, for the event was abandoned
during the war years, just when
she was on top of her game. Miss
Wethered, after thrice lifting the
cup, quit because she could get
no competition. If she had con-
tinued there is no telling how
many times she might have won,
for she was definitely superior to
her rivals.
Even today there are few men
in England capable of holding her
even, and heard it said at St.
Andrews before the cup matches
that it was shame to see her

brother Roger on the team when
she could beat him six times a
week and twice on Sunday.
Miss Wilson. champion in 1881,
1892 and 1893. was ruled ineligible
this season because of a connection
with a sports good house. So it
can be seen that if Miss Barton
is another Leitch or Wilson. Amer
ica's patience is in for further try
ing. Practically unknown a year
ago, Miss Barton went to the final
round of the championship this
year with sound victories over half
dozen noted players. Then in
experience caught up with her. The
huge gallery and the realization
that she was but one step away
from the title sent her away from
the first tee highly nervous, and
her game went to pieces.
She proved she was no flash in
the pan, however, by whipping
practically the same field at lie
Toquet recently to win the French
championship. 1t was recalled after
this triumph that the first nation
al championship which Miss Leitch
won was the French, and at that
time she was the same age as
Miss Barton is.
Miss Barton, pretty, smiling
stocky girl of the same build as
Billy Hicks, is a tremendous hitter
But her putting-which she prac-
tices two hours each day-is her
chief strength. Once on the green
there isn't woman player in Eng
land to match her.
