Harvesting Sponges

Sponges are obtained by dredging,
the better kinds by divers, while in
shallow water they are collected with
a long-handled pronged fork. The
sponges are then placed in fresh water
for a time, and this causes the fieshy
covering to decay, leaving the skel-
etons as we know them, to be washed
olx and cleaned. The best toilet
sponges come from the Mediterranean,
Florida, and the West Indies.

The Bachelors Degree

The title of bachelor was not a de-
gree at the time of its first appear
ance, in the Thirteenth century, but
merely indicated that its possessor had
fulfilled certain preliminary require
ments for the degree of doctor or
master. AS the medieval courses var
led from four years in arts to fourteen
in theology, the Importance of the pre-
liminary title varied much among the
different faculties. In the higher fac
ulties, and eventually in arts, it took
on the significance of degree, except
in France, where to the present day it
represents merely the completion Of a
secondary education.

to declare any of the acts of 435
elected representatives of the people
null, void and unconstitutional.
Isn't that silly situation? AS
matter of fact the constitution of
our country is silent as to the pow
er of the United States judges or
the United States supreme court
judges to declare acts of congress
unconstitutional and void.
One United States district judge
declared the Tennessee Valley Act
unconstitutional Another United
States district judge declared this
same act constitutional. This has
been highly confusing. A United
States district court holds the CUT
fey coal control act constitutional.
This decision will be appealed to the
United States supreme court. No
one can definitely assert whether
any law is constitutional until the
supreme court has handed down it's
decision. Congress should abrogate
the right exercised by inferior fed
eral courts to declare laws uncon-
stitutional. Furthermore when the
question is SO close that a bare ma
jority, five of nine supreme court
judges, declare law unconstitu-
tional as was done in the railway
pension case and in the income tax
case, before one of the supreme
court justices changed his mind,
one wonders if it is not dead wrong
to permit law enacted by 435
elected representatives and 96 elect
ed senators, who are agents of the
people, to be thus set aside and de-
clared invalid. Why not require by
act of congress that three-fourths
(seven of nine) supreme court JUS
tices must agree in order to declare
laws unconstitutional?
Is the New Deal worth one bill
lean people than the old deal?
That's how much more debt was
created under President Roosevelt
than under Herbert Hoover. Even
under the do-nothing policy OF Her.
bert Hoover the national debt in
creased six billion, two hundred and
thirty-six million dollars. The in
crease under President Roosevelt is
seven billion, four hundred million
dollars. Mr.. Hoover failed to "bal-
ance the budget" by more than six
billion dollars. Under President
Roosevelt seven billion has been put
aside to spend on relief. If relief
expenditures are not considered the
budget is balanced. Relief expendi-
lures must be considered. This is a
most necessary expenditure. Peo-
pie will riot before they will starve.
Mr.. Hoover said relief was ''local
problem to be ''handled by states
and municipalities themselves
bankrupt. That was rugged indi-
vidualism. That was ruthless. It
meant ragged individuals The ma
tional income has increased twenty
billion dollars since Roosevelt be-
came president. Conditions differ
greatly now from the situation on
that black Saturday in 1888, when
Mr.. Hoover turned the wreck over
to President Roosevelt. Who was
the real waster-Hoover or Roose-
welt? Who wasted the nations man
power in idleness, caused destruc-
ton of it's banks, shops, businesses
and income, and the loss of homes
and farms?

HAUPTMANN MAY NOT DIE FRIDAY
Governor Hoffman Before Grand Jury Today in Ef-
 fort to Stop It
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS 1886, by United Press)

Trenton, N. J., April 2.-(UP).-- Bruno Richard Hauptmann's chances, of escaping the electric chair tob morrow night increased rapidly to- day as the Mercer county grand jury opened new lines of inquiry in It's consideration of the Lindbergh baby murder.
 Governor Harold G. Hoffman, who believes Hauptmann did not commit the crime alone, was the first of several new witnesses to go before the grand jurors, indicating that their investigation might ex- tend far beyond 8 p. m., Friday. the time set for Hauptmann's execu- ton.
 There was no official word from the jury as to how far 1t would in- quire into the murder and the case of Paul H. Wendell. who wrote and then repudiated a confession to the crime.
 Jury Cannot Finish
 But with the appearance of the governor to urge that the mystery be solved before Hauptmann is put to death; with the preparations Of Attorney General David T. Wilentz to go before the jury in opposition to any such delay; and with reports that pr. John r. (Jafsie) Condon, Hho paid over $50000 ransom to the kidnaper just four years ago
