They are in Sec- ton S2l of the proposed amendment, and will be discussed when that section is reached in our series of statements on the proposed amend ment now appearing in the local press. At that time the public can make up Its own mind as to wheth- CT or not such rights are so funny as you think and l feel pretty con- fident that they will laugh at you and not with you, as they are not as dumb as you seem to think.
 You are evidently living in the days of the gay nineties when po- litical bosses and "ward-heelers" held unchallenged sway over the destinies Of the citizens. But-- them days is gone forever; they are being ended by intelligent cit- izens who will no longer tolerate the use of public funds by political machines for the purpose of buying votes nor the corrupt use of the public. funds to provide ."oil' for these machines.
 So, Rip Van Wrinkle, suggest you take another snooze, or else study the Merit System before releasing any more drivel on an urlsuspect- ing public. .. 9

Press Comment
MIR. GOODWIN MAY BE WRONG
(New York Sum

(New York Sum
 Dr. Lowell, the president emeritus of Harvard University, is 80, and took to driving motor car when he was 67. In August of last year he failed to pass the driving test to which Massachusetts subjects all applicants more, than 65. A month later he passed the examination. Members of the Lowell family are not easily dissuaded from achieving the goals on which they set their ambitions.
 On August 1 of this year Dr. Lowell drove into the rear end of a car in the morning and in the eve- ming ran head on into another. Tn the second smash his nose and wrist were broken. He acknowl- edged responsibility for both acci- dents. and MT, Goodwin, the motor vehicle registrar, has now suspended his drivers license. When he was asked about possible restoration of the Lowell license. the registrar said he thought 1t would never be re- stored and he added: T think Pro. lessor does not wish to drive again"
 MT. Goodwin twill do as his con- science dictates or the courts direct about reinstating Dr. Lowell as a driver, but he Is on slippery ground when he suggests that this savant does not wish to drive again. To be dcterred from any diversion or avocation by a broken nose and a broken wrist-Dr. Lowell suffered these in his latest accidentGis not in accord with the Lowell tradition or the A. Lawrence Lowell record. A setback, opposition, a failure. these are only incentives to further effort to the members of that tribe. Defeat has been administered to Lowells. but acceptance of defeat has never been recorded of them. Dr. Lowell is more likely to be pian- ming his next self conducted motor trip than to be reconciled to retire. ment from the wheel. MT. Good win might as well keep at hand . pen with which to re-establish pr. Lowell in the drivers seat.

Historical Novel Is Portrait of Queen

She found no peace. Author Con- stance Lily Morris might have used that as a title for her excellent bi- ography. Maria Theresa. the Last Conservative" tAlfred A. Knopf $35o).
 War was q habit in 18th cen- tury Europe. and Austria was in the center of the political arena. All of Maria Theresa's life was planned defense against Prussia, and there Is no better example in history of the futility of such struggle.
 Maria Theresa was born with the reproach of being Q woman. Charles VI, confident that he would have male heir. took few pains to pre- pare her for inheritance: thus. this daughter of the voluputous. gay city on the Danube found herself con- fronted at the age of g with the responsibility of not only ruling the weakened states of Austria, but of playing an important part in tho drama of European strategy.
 And with Q masculine strength of will. this very womanly woman ruled and won for herself defin. ite place in history.
 Beautiful, fun-loving. full O amazing vitality. Maria Theresa. tn, author reveals, was matriarch, treating her subjects with motherly solicitation and sacrificing them similarly in political crises.
 Most interesting of her children was Joseph, her heir, who. amaz- ingly enough, had socialistic ideas in the midst of great extravagance. Maria's household was run by 2400 servants. When the young prince wanted to sleighride and there was no snow, 1t was brought down from the mountains in wagon loads. Notable for very little debunking. and also very little whitewash, Maria Theresa" is altogether @ solid book and important as the first modern biography in English of Austria's great empress.-D. s.

 Following the announcement that the President had appointed U. s. Tax Commissioner Justin Miller to vacancy on the federal circuit bench. a friend. asked Senator Bob Reynolds how his fellow North Carolinian happened to get the prize job.
 T had understood" the friend said, "that the choice lay between Senator Pat Harrison's candidate, Commissioner Sykes of the Communications Commis- sion, and Vincent Miles, who failed to get appointed to the Social Security Board"

 Anybody else endorse him?"
 "I was the only one."

This sort of weather is always good for reminiscing. Old-timers can recall the summer that we had snow as early as Labor Day or some of them will recall the summer when there wasn't any warm weather at all-just rain and cold for three long months. However, this has been an unusual season, to say the least. From early June to mid-August vacation weather prevailed continuously. Who can complain now that we're getting variation.

 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Gallon of Water
 will drinking four quarts of water with the juice of @ lemon do any harm or any good? (Mrs. w. M)
 Answer--Depends on how long you take to drink it. A gallon of water is enough for two or three days. The lemon juice makes no difference so far as the effects of water drinking are concerned.
 Acne and Sweets
 Have oily skin and much bother- ed with large blind hard pirnples over and forehead and cheeks. Have tried avoiding all sweets, starchy foods and greasy foods. :. (F. A
 Answer--Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monographs on Acne - Blackheads and Pimples--Oily Skin. Better not retrict your diet, there is no basis for the notion that sweets, starchy foods, or oils or fats are in any way responsible for this common skin complaint of young persons.

 You should, in fact, go direct from nodiste to hairdresser and have him arrange a coiffure which does some thing for your hat. Time was when the procedure was reversed, but, nowadays, milliners turn out new hats so fast and furiously that hair dressers can barely keep up, let alone lead.
 Therefore. if you have not changed your hairstyle in year, wait 8 few days longer until you have bought a hat. Keep in mind that flillness just behind the ears Gin the form of curls or ends of a rolD softens the otherwise hard line of the average jawbone. Also, that fullness below the line of your hat at the back makes head and hat prettier.
 Special Haircuts Needed
 Long bobs, either straight or waved, are out. The clean cut. smooth neckline and brushed upward effects are Spring 1037.
 You don't get haircut simply to shorten your locks either. The process is the first step toward any kind of hairdo. Rolls won't stay rolled or swirls swirled unless your hair was cut with these specifically in mind. For evening. birds and feathers and exotic geegaws are gone with the wind, too. You'll see flowers, fresh and artificial, in formal cultures all summer. but they will be small and in impeccable taste. Frothy. biIlowing dance dresses of feminine ly sheer fabrics eschew jeweled tiaras or spectacular pieces of bril- liants.
