WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. (uf.
You can say "Merry Christmas, p"

cd the Christmas mailing regul;a,,
lions tic s'I last night. He said you could
send cards in unsealed envelopes
for one cent, so long as you don't
trv writing anything but "Sincere-,
w. Yours" Merry Christmas, "
HHappy New Year" and "Best
wishes" If you want to say any
thinc else you must buy three
cont stamp and seal the envelope.
You'd better buy a three-cent
stamp anyway, Eilenberger said,
because one cent cards are tossed
awav by the postoffice depart;

beyond a reasonable doubt that
a law is constitutional before it
passes it. We would never have
any legislation worth the conven-
ing of congress if such were de-
manded. 1t is perfectly proper
for all citizens to watch congress
and express their approval or dis
approval of the laws passed, ire
spective of whether or not they
are constitutional.
Many people seem to think we
have a constitution as originally
presented by the Philadelphia
convention. Of course that draft
would never have been accepted
by many of the states. Not even
by the adoption of the first ten
amendments was the instrument
satisfactory. The original draft,
plus Fl amendments, and thous-
ands of court decisions really
make up the constitution as we
have it today. It's amendability to
change is it's life. It's rigidness is
it's peril. The peoples will, ulti-
laately, is the constitution, so
long as we are. able to preserve
the commonwealth and it's ideals.
Thomas jefferson, speaking OF
constitutions, said:
"Some men look at constitu-
lions with sanctimonious rever-
ence, and deem them, like the Ark
of the Covenant, too sacred to be
touched. They ascribe to the men
of the preceding age wisdom more
than human, and suppose what
they did to be beyond amend
ment.. We might as well require
a man to wear still coat which
fitted him when a boy, as civiliz-
ed society ever to remain under
the regiment of their ancestors"

Two general principles are under

ference late yesterday in the office OF
Commissioner George E. Allen. They
are that Government officials are not
to be placed in the position Of COL

WHITE SLAVE ACT
APPLIED IN D. c.
Court Holds Transport for
Immoral Purposes Here
Is Against Statute.

Application of the national white
slave act for the first time since its
enactment, Is years ago, to trans
portation of women for immoral pur-
poses within the boundaries OF the
District was upheld today by Justice
F. Dickinson Let's Of District Su-
preme Court
Hitherto the law has been invoked
only in instances of transportation
over State lines.
The new Interpretation was made
by Justice Let's in overruling a de-
murrer to one count of the indict-
ment of Sherman E. Harper, %. and
Reuben Holly, Is, who we're arrested
here last May. The first count of
the indictment charges them with
transporting two women here from
Charleston, w. Va, for immoral pur-
poses. The second count, to which
objection was made, alleges trans
portation within the District.
Assistant United States Attorney
Irving Goldstein argued that the
statute prohibits transportation OF
women for immoral purposes within
the District and within any terri
tory of the United States, as we'll as
interstate. This view was upheld by
