Protection By Amendment

OBVIOUSLY situation could arise in which the
- only way to preserve and protect the Constitu-
ton would be to amend it. And under those circum-
stances any President of the United States would
be false to his oath if he did urge the necessary
change or changes.
1t seems to that we are in such a situation
now and that something must be done to preserve
the powers of the Federal government against the
Entertainments of the states
1t is interesting to note that Walter Lippmann,
who has been critical of of the Presidents con-
stitutonal references. has come around to the ex-
tent of being worried by the opinion of the Circuit
Court of Appeals in the Triple A case. Mr.. Lipp-
mann feels that this court quite possibly has gone
far beyond the issue in hand and has denied that
Congress has any power to regulate the production
of basic agricultural commodities"
Mr.. Lppmann thinks this would be unfortunate
and writes:
The case for national policy in respect to the
great agricultural staples is clear and unmiStak-
able the for a national policy in regard to
transportation tariffs or the conservation of nat
ural resources" AS yet Mr.. Lippmann unwill-
ing to add that there should be a national
policy in regard to child labor, collective bar
gaining unemployment insurance and other legiSla-
ton affecting human resources Indeed he writes of
the necessity of not leaving agriculture unprotected
in a world where everything else is protected" and
adds with a somewhat unfortunate choice of words:
This Is not merely matter of social justice. This
is matter Of national safety
However, distinct gain is made when merely Mr..
Hearst and the Herald Tribune left argue that
the way to protect the Constitution is to insist that
it must be used a barrier against both social JUS
tice and national safety. And. for that matter we
may all be the road to realizing that national
safety and social justice actually the thing

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

TN 1915 fewer than three million tourists visited
the national parks Of the United States. This
year the number will be anywhere from is to 20
million because America in the summer season is
nation on wheels.
As persons travel about, many find it more con-
venient and much cheaper to live in tourist camps
than in city hotels rooming houses. For this rea-
son. 1t is well to bear in mind that certain factors OF
safety necessary # you wish to be sure that
tourist camp is healthful
The most important item is water All licensed
camps that is. those which have been inspected by
state health departments suitably certified and
it is likely that these will have plentiful supply OF
pure water If the tourist camp is not licensed, it is
safer TO boil the water
IN many places water is obtained from springs or
shallow wells Such water is liable to be contain
mated by the ground flow following rains.
Next Of course. is the question Of proper disposal
of ge Before hating for the night the tourist
will do we'll to find what provisions have been made
for this purpose
Flies and mosquitoes are easily controlled by
mosquito netting and screening. Those who use the
tourist camp will aid in keeping down the numesr
Of flies and mosquitoes by placing all garbage and
trash in containers and by disposing of waste water
in some manner so that 1t will not form pools on
the ground.
Food that is prepared in the camp should be
served under clean conditions and proper places for
disposal Of garbaga should always be available.
MOST important also is the question of bedding.
WI The tourist has a right to know that clean
sheets and clean towels have been provided for each
guest.
Emphatically. travellers should not sleep in rooms
in which cooking is done
Not infrequently a motorist becomes Ill while
en- route. and requires the attention of physician.
Sometimes the person in charge of the tourist camp
Is able 10 advise MIN suitably. but in many the
physician he suggests IS chosen because of friendship
rather than because OF his special competence.
The safest procedure is 10 get in touch with the
medical society in the large community and
ask the officers Of the society TO recommend suit

It's Poor SpOrtSnldnShip

THERE is ample proof that the citizens like con-
l. siderably more vivacity than the Supreme Court
has permitted itself. Chick Meehan, as coach Of
New York Universitys football team. was one Of
the first to discover appeal to this preference and
with considerable profit too Mr.. Meehan with
mediocre squad representing a school which in the
beginning very obscure member of the foot
ball community charmed day by a foot
ball coStumer's sample book He equipped his ath-
letes in purple and with epauets and piping Up to
that time, football teams had worn costumes which
for football were as conventional and somber as the
black night-Shirt is on the Supreme Court bench.
The pleasure which his color scheme gave the
naked eye of the customer, coupled with ivory
hunting among the high school seniors in the mill
towns of the Connecticut Valley, raised New York
University to the first rank in intercollegiate foot
ball both financially and, let say. professionally.
BY all means let us say professionally.
On TIE intellectual side of the question: a good
gag-man, possibly with a schnozzle and a noisy
delivery who would throw his hat the floor and
stamp it while delivering the unanimous opinion
of the court, might be more to the liking of the
country and harmonious with national thought.
1t will be un-American to suggest much, but it
strikes your correspondent that much of the crti-
cism of the court including Mr. Roosevelts has been
display of poor craftsmanship judged by the stand
ards which have always been accepted though not
always observed, in country which takes pride in
its love of games.

they work on the new homes or
on the roads or community build

cooperation and in the lost art of

qualities as swiftly and surely as

IN this mountainous country
Il around Morgantown I talked
to two other women. One was
Miss Elsie Ripley Clapp, who
came to Arthurdale Homesteads
in August, 1884, from the Ballard
School near Louisville, Ky. With
clear visions she sees the posi-
bilities of bringing education
straight into life. And she dreams
as we'll of a whole new rural cul-
ture, based on cooperative living
and working.
America has never tapped her
hidden human resources" she
said to me in her Office in the
temporary school building where
she has undertaken to train chill
dren in the new way of life from
the time they are two years old.
I'VE have great and untouched
reservoirs in both natural re-
sources and in our human beings.
We are rich in both and we can
now begin to develop them to-
gether. We only half know the
answer of how to do it, but we
will find the way. We are like
people driving at night; we can
only see as far as headlights let

But I am inclined to believe
that the headlights here at Ar
thurdale throw a strong white
glearl into the future. They mark
the path that leads toward a
whole new pattern for much of
American life. In just some such
future communities the method
will be found for rural life to be
laced into industry.

chorus boys would act in unison and according to
orders from the stage director a desirable effect
in musical comedy and possibly just as much to be
desired in extravaganza on national scale.
The black night-Shrts are distinctly unpopular
with the citizens and, in land where the people
rule a fashion hint from the people should be as
good as a command There are legends about en-
ployers mainly publishers and city editors, who
would fire because they didn't like the cut

she went on.
I'VE can live like civilized folks.
And when that electric carpet
sweeper factory gets finished
buildin' my husband will have six
months work a year. The rest
of the time he can spend on the
land. Goodness sake! We can't
never eat all the truck we can
grow in our garden. And we'll
have chickens and a COW. Why
it's almost like heaven.
She wasn't worried that some
critics and economists find fault
because the homesteads will cost
around $4,000 instead of, say, $500,
which they believe is all that
these new pioneers in freedom
can possibly pay. She only knew
that she had been saved from the
body and soul starvation Of SCOTS
Run.
Here at Arthurdale Homesteads
were already SO families of the
total of 100 that will be given
new start in life when the build
ing is completed. Each of the
families had been robbed of all
hope when they came.
And now for the first time these
battered men and women were
learning how to live together in
some security and decency. AS

TAKE HARVEST JOBS,
RELIEF GROUP TOLD
Status Will Not Be Affected,
Manion Assures.

Clarence E. Manion, Indiana di-
rector of the National Emergency
Council, last night in a radio adj
dress advised all relief workers that
their status as such will not be af-
fected if they accept temporary
employment in harvest fields.
Mr.. Manion said that it had
come to his attention that farmers
of the state were having difficulty
finding workers because relief roll
persons had the erroneous notion
that they would destroy their relief
eligibility by accepting such employ
ment.
I'VE urge all persons" Mr.. Man
ion said, who have an opportunity
to take private job and get off
the direct relief rolls for week,
month or three months, to do so
without hesitation"

The Pop Bottles FLeU

TINE Supreme Court named as a body Of
Il umpires to call them as it sees them on all
plays coming to its official attention Ordinarily,
the decisions were accepted with decent grace even
when some of the close ones went against the peo-
Pile But the test of craftsmanship occurs in the
clutches, as they called. And in the case of the
NRA, when the clutch on and the decision
went against the Presidents program there occurred
the astonishing sight Of pop bottle barrage at the
umpres from that section of the crowd which was
roofing for the home team. One of those pop bot
ties came from the hand of the President himself
accompanied by derisive cry of horse and buggy
days"
This presidential raspberry was not a very gen.
erous show of gratitude for that previous decision in
the gold clause in which the court plainly de-
cided that the home club needed a break at crti-
cal moment and called fair which from the
standpoint of the opposing club was yards outside
the foul line

Court has been distinctly reminiscent of the con-
duct Of the New York Prize Fight Commission under
