Constitution and Bylaws

A constitution is defined as the
organic law of any organized body
or association of persons. A bylaw
is defined as a rule or law adopted
by an association, corporation or
the like, for its government in the
conduct of its own affairs, subor-
dinate to its constitution or charter.
Roberts Rules of Order says that
an incorporated society frequently
has no constitution, the charter TAX
ing its place, and many others
prefer to combine under one head
the rules that are more commonly
placed under the separate heads of
constitution and bylaws. The same
authority says that the rules of a
society, in a majority of cases, may
be conveniently divided into the four
classes of constitution, bylaws,
rules of order, and standing rules,
though in some societies all the
rules are found under one of these
heads, being called either the con-
stitution, or the bylaws, or the
standing rules.

Site Of Mexico CITY

Mexico City owes its site to the
Aztecs. Like ancient Troy, it was
built one city on top Of another, and
historians believe that Indian tenn
pies exist in the subsoil there, hav-
ing sunk gradually into the earth
because of their great weight. The
old time city was watery king
dom. It's valley was made up Of
a Series Of large lakes, and the city
itself was founded on an island in
the lake Of Texcoco. It had an elab-
crate system Of canals and dikes.
Some of its houses were built on
stills in the water, and waterways
connected it with various parts Of
the valley. When Spaniards con-
quered Mexico City, they demol-
ished most of the relics Of the Aztec
civilization.

Renders Are Guided by
Cord Attached To Horns

Reindeer are trained to be driven
at 8 to years of age. They are
guided by a leather cord drawn
tightly at the base of the horns.
The harness consists of collar and
a single trace leading from the col
lar downward between the animals
legs to the pulka, so far back that
it is out Of reach Of kicks. Bulls
are worked until they are Is or 16
years old, and they are probably
at their best at 10 years, writes
Mason Warner in the Chicago Trib-
une.
To stop reindeer, throw the rein
to the left; to speed him, throw 1t
to the right. The rein hangs loosely
but does not touch the snow. The
pulka Is guided by stick used
as rudder.
In early winter a man will travel
a hundred miles in a day with a
reinbull, going to or coming from
church. The deer slow down In the
spring after a hard winter. They
become thin and poor, weak and
puny, after paving and digging
down through SHOWS three to four
feet deep for lichen moss for food.
A native family can live comfort
ably with herd of 200 reindeer.
Some have more; some have less.
Reindeer culture Is limited to Lapps
in Sweden; no Swedes can invest in
it. The state is against any owner
ship except that of the Lapps, and
the law prevents anybody except a
Lapp from grazing deer on public
lands. The mountaineers refuse to
tend the herds for anybody not Of
their race, but it was four Laps
from the Tonne Trask region who
took the first reindeer into Alaska
and taught the Yukon Indians how
to care for them.

When Bees Do Not Sting

There's a good reason why bees
do not sting while swarming. Be.
fore leaving the hive they gorge
themselves with honey. Like hui

Dances. Bees swarm, or leave the

Matched that spring. In each swarm

ton Post, worker bees cluster around
the queen bee to protect her each
time she alights. Thus, by corner
ing the queen, the whole hive can
be captured.

How to Sip Milk

It has always seemed so reason
sJble to believe that slipping milk
slowly would favor it's digestion that
the idea has gained a firm foothold.
Often otherwise well informed per-
sons advocate slipping milk as pref
cradle practice to drinking it nat
urally. Fortunately in this case we
may turn to clinical and laboratory
research for the facts. Scientific
research shows that milk taken very
slowly forms a larger curd in the
human stomach and therefore actu-
ally requires longer to digest than
when taken rapidly.-National Dairy
Council.

Name Priscilla Derived
From Latin Clan Title

The name Priscilla has the curl
GUS meaning "the ancient" 1t is
said to be derived from the title
of Latin clan, so called because
of its great antiquity, and indicates
long life for its bearer, writes Flor
ence A. Cowles in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
In the eighteenth chapter of Acts
we read that Paul, while in Corinth,
made his home with Aquila, Jew,
and his wife Priscilla, who were
tentmakers. In II Tim. 4:19 Paul
writes Salute Prisca and Aquila. !"
My Bible says that the two were
the same woman and that Priscilla
is diminutive of Prisca, "ancient. :"
If this is the fact, then Priscilla
would mean little old lady" But
from the fact of Paul's using Prisca
in this way it would seem that that
might be the apostles affectionately
familiar nickname for Priscilla, the
true form of the name.
st. Priscilla, wife of a Roman SEN
ator, used her wealth to relieve the
poor and in the first century caused
to be excavated the famous ceme-
terry which bears her name and is
on what was once her property.
To us, Priscilla means primarily

Chinaware From Orient
Opened New Color World

For years before china was In
troduced, the use of pewter and
wooden utensils was general, but
when china was brought in from
the Orient by the sailing vessels In
the East India trade 1t opened new
world Of color. The bright decora-
tons, oriental scenes Of life, birds,
flowers; the gay colors and beauty
awakened the Imagination and
brought color to a world accus-
toned for generations to the dull,
gray monotony Of pewter and wood.
It was not long before the homes Of
the wealthy were filed with oriental
porcelains brought from the Far
East, writes Alice r. Rollines In the
Los Angeles Times.
Old Canton was q household word
for the blue and white china which
for two centuries and more was ex-
ported from China to Europe and
America. The term Old Canton in
cluded such patterns as the Nam
kin, which takes its name from the
town from which it was exported
and was so-ca1led by the Chinese
merchants who traded in it.
The Canton pattern followed the
earlier Nankin, and later one Of the
designs used came to be known as
the willow or island pattern. This
was very popular in the United
States early in the Nineteenth Gen.
tury. when great quantities were
shipped here.
What is known as the Fitzhugh
pattern, SO named for a certain
Englishman who first gave the or
der, is a conventionalized design of
split pomegranates, spread butter
flies, flowers and emblems in sep
arate groups as a border with a
medallion or oval monogram in the
center. Later this design made up
for the American trade included a
spread eagle in the center.

Lapps Are Content With
Own Religious Servicei

The Lapps derive solace and hap
piness from attending their. own
church services. They get to church
as often as they can-four or five
times year. They 60 to the Swed-
ish State church, too; they never
miss Christmas and Easter services.
They are baptized, confirmed, mar
ried, and buried In the state church.
However, they are given spiritual
exaltation in their own church serv-
ices, by their own preachers, the
stern and severe followers of Lars
Levi Laestadius. They attain sub
limation of the soul they seem un-
able to get elsewhere, writes Mason
Warner, following an interview with
an authority at Abisko, Lapland,
Sweden, and published in the Chi
cago Tribune.
The services are always the same.
The sermons are in the Finnish Ian
guage. The preacher begins by tell
ing the congregation how weak they
are, how sinful, how utterly lost
their souls are past redemption. Re-
buke and condemnation are piled on
criticism of their actions and lives.
To these are added promises or
threats of terrible punishment.
This continues until the people are
subdued, cowed, low in spirit-are
SO beaten down by the pastors ora
tory that they are in a semi-swoon
Of doubt, terror, and fear. The al
most trance-like state of conscious
ness of their unworthiness is known
as Liikutuksia. Then comes the
great moment. Absolution for sins
is given by the preacher.
Great rejoicing ensues. They re-
main seated, but sway from side to
side or throw their bodies forward
and backward in an ecstasy Of hap
piness. They do not dance-nor do
they sing. They joika.
Either Laestadius or his imme-
diate successors abolished singing.
"Joika" is the Lapp's substitute for
singing. It is not sustained melody,
but 1t is musical, with intervals and
disconnected notes.

WEST NOTTINGHAM HOME COM
ING DAY FOOT BALL GAME

Saturday, November 10, has been
designated as Home Coming Day at
West Nottingham Academy when the
historic Maryland institution will
officially act as host to its many
alumni and friends.
The attraction of the day will be
the annual football game with New
ark High School, the game being
called at 2:30 o'clock. In games
played with Newark over the past
eight seasons, West Nottingham
Academy has lost five, tied two, and
won none. This year, however, 1t is
generally felt on the campus that
Nottingham, who will present one of
the best line-ups of its football his
tory, will succeed in smashing the
Newark High School jinx, feat all
previous generations of Nottingham
gridders nave failed to achieve. Its
record of this season: Baltimore
Friends 14-O; Waynesboro, Penna.,
1870; and New Castle, Delware,
51-O; gives promise of an un-
beaten, united, an unscored-upon
team. The record of the respective
opponents indicates that game of
unprecedented action on the Not
tingham gridiron is waiting the
Academy and its guests.
Responses to invitations issued to
alumni with recent copies of the
school paper "The Literary Ad-
vance,, are being received and fore
cast the return of many graduates
this year to see West Nottingham
beat Newark High.

Effect of Moon Eclipse ON Tides

Effect of Moon Eclipse on Tides
The United States Coast and Geo.
detic survey says that the tides re-
suit from the gravitational attrac.
ton of the moon and sun and this
attraction is not affected by the
passing of the moon into the shad-
ow of the earth, which is what hap
pens during an eclipse of the moon.
The tide does vary with the phase
of the moon, and since lunar
eclipse can occur only at a time
for full moon, the range of the tide
may then be expected to be greater
than the average.
