A young man is proud and

within perSuadeS him. that ne is
everything"
Everything without you-all the
vast speed, pressure and confusion
of the Machine Age-makes you
feel unimportant sneers at your
struggle, says it's futile. Then
why does your heart insist that
such a verdict is wrong? Why do
you feel that you really DO count
in spite of your obscurity and dis
couragement?
Because it's the Truth. You DO!
No matter how full the world
may be of people and things, no
matter how fast it may go, still you
stand distinct and unique in pat
tern, purpose and power. You are
not a biological accident. You
didn't "just happen" like Topsy.
There was a reason behind your
happening, and a plan. You hap
pened because you were needed
and no one else could take your
place.
UNIQUE PATTERN
You DO matter. Your own heart
tells you that you do. Then why
does it also tell you that you
don't? 1t doesn't. That secret
whisper is not the voice of Truth
it is the sound of your own fear
and envy. You too are surveying
the world from the smoke-filled
shadows of your cave, as your
Stone Age grandfather did. And,
like him, you cry-"It's all too
much for me! 1 can't possibly
amount to anything in a world
like this; there's no use trying"
Don't bend to your own fear
Listen, instead, to the voice OF Life
crying within you =. to the proud
and living Truth which tells you
that you DO matter.
You we're made by unique pat
tern. Dare to express that pat
tern!
You were built for a particular
purpose. Dare to serve that pur
pose!
And no matter how simple you
are, how ignorant or how poor
there is a special place waiting
for you. Dare to grab that place
and fill it with all you have!
Then have no fear that you will
go unnoticed, unreWarded. No man
ever yet went unrewarded who
had the courage to BELIEVE IN
and BE HIMSELF.

That was one Of our great Amer
lean heroines, Molly Pitcher, in &C
ton. It turns out, too that Molly
is Pennsylvania's greatest Revo-
lutionary heroine-more glamor-
Gus even than charming Betsy
Ross, who fashioned our first flag.
Up to now there has been a con-
fusion over the fair Molly's iden-
tity, most historians miStaking her
for a Mrs. Margaret Corbin, who
saw her husband killed while fir
ing a cannon, and took his place
in the battle line until she, too,
fell wounded.
Now, hear from Bucknell Uni
verSity that they have definitely
identified Molly Pitcher. The real
Molly Pitcher who Swabbed the
cannon at the Battle of Mon
mouth, in June, 1778, until it be-
came overheated, and who then
kept the weapon in condition by
rushing cool water from a nearby
brook and pouring it over the Siz-
cling iron, was Mary Ludwig, a
Pennsylvania Dutch working girl.
She was also called Molly Hays,
Molly McCauley or Molly Nc
Knowlly. from the names of her
various husbands.
UNGRATEFUL
But the new U. S. A. was strange
ly ungratful to Molly. Not so many
years ago there were persons still
living in Carlisle. Pa, who remem-
bered Molly Pitcher, still beauti-
full in her old age. scrubbing the
marble corridors of the old court
house in that city because her
pension had never been granted.
Although Molly Pitchers name
and exploits are widely known,
the fact that she had a grand
daughter who also figures in a
romantic episode of another war
is news.
This interesting point arose in
the course of research under
taken for the Pennsylvania Folk
Festival to be held in the stadium
of Bucknell from July 80 to August
4. There was gallant blood in
the veins of Molly Pitcher. Here's
the tale:

tive and the Courts. Our Constr
tuition, therefore. is superior to
them. Anything they do that con-
flicts with it is void.
1t follows that any ordinary law
passed by Congress is void if it
conflicts with the Peoples Law
with our Constitution.
To determine this, our ConStitu.
ton creates the Supreme Court as
our agent to pass upon our laws.
When a case concerning a law
passed by Congress is brought into
Court, the Court examines that
law and compares it with the Peo-
pies Law-with the Constitution.
If it finds that the two conflict.
it declares the inferior law uncon.
Stitutional because repugnant to
the supreme law-the Peoples
Law.
In this way the people maintain
supremacy over the government.

arched nose, and the marvellous
bronze-gold eyes. Mosby made
eager suit to the lovely Rama
and won her heart. His spirits
high at the success of his ven
ture, and heart aglow with
thoughts of Rama. Mosby failed
to take advantage of the natural
cover offered by the country and
ran into patrol of Union
cavalry at a fording of the
Conococheague.
The hunt was on. He man
aged to avoid capture, but he
was exhausted and near starVa-
ton when two days later, just
as he was about again to gain
shelter of the Montolta home, he
was sighted by members of the
patrol still scouting the country
for him. He managed to reach
the kitchen, when he found
Rama, on a bench before the
open fireplace, wearing pair
of her fathers overalls. Nearby,
on a stool, sat Jacob Schemmel,
the famous German wood-carver,
playing on an ancient flute.
MOSBY'S ESCAPE
Quickly Mosby explained his
danger to Rama. She gave him
her fathers hunting coat in
place of the tunic he had been
wearing. Rama would not leave
him, so together they made their
way to an ancient graveyard
overgrown with briar and Sumac.
MoSby noticed that some of the
bricks had fallen from the side
of one of the vaults, leaving
hole large enough to permit him
to crawl into the grave.
Forcing Rama to return to her
home, he crawled into the hole and
from his grim hiding place he
heard the Union cavalrymen reach
the house. In spite of his fears for
Raina'S safety, he was compelled
to stay under cover until dawn.
Then he found the house deserted
and knew that Rama had been
taken prisoner.
In the woods, MoSby found the
old German Woodcarver, who told
Mosby that the Federal soldiers
had taken Rama with them as
prisoner of war. They had identi-
fled her by the mans garments
she wore, as the rebel who was as
Sisting a spy to escape. MoSby
slipped back to his troops and a
week later the Confederates began
the bombardment of Carlisle, on
the night of July /, 1868. Early the
next morning clouds of smoke and
tongues of flame rose from the
city.
The barracks had been blown
up, and in the rush to escape a
single Confederate prisoner, wait
ing examination by the Union
General Pleasanton, persisted. This
single prisoner was Rama Recall,

THE BEST MARRIAGE

she usually has to choose between

I've always had a deep convic-

bet, and that the violin age and
the saxophone age could not posi-

the wedding march. Especially
when the woman is the older.
But, since two of the most at
tractive women l have ever met
have confessed right out loud in
magazine articles that they are
married to men much younger
than themselves, and that their
marriages. in each case, are bril-
liant successes, l am beginning to
wonder if, after all. I'm wrong.
Does AGE really matter so much
between two people who are in
love and on the same wire? Does
the fact that you were born in
the same decade always spell
"congeniality?" And, what, after
all, has chronology to do with A
mutual heart-interest or mans
qualities as a husband?
Remember, I'm ASKING these
questions, not answering them.
May-and-December marriages are
always a little shocking. But, how
about these June-and-September
romanceS which appear to be so
popular recently?
There is, of course, always the
chance that the romance may not
last after the first novelty and
rapture have worn off. But what
romance DOES last long after
that? And how many older men
