Chief Justice Marshall
Made Constitution Live

Born in Germantown (now Mid
land), Fauquier county, Va, on
September "a, 1755, John Marshall
was the eldest son Of Col. Thomas
Marshall, q distinguished officer in
the French war and the War Of In
dependence. and Of Mary Keith, a
member Of the Randolph family.
Because school facilities were
meager in Fauquier county in those
days, relates Leslie Hartley in the
Washington Star. John was educat-
ed largely by his father. He had no
college training except a few lee
lures on law and natural philosophy
at William and Mary in ITO. He
abandoned the study Of law at 10 to
enter the Revolutionary army. As
a member Of his fathers regiment,
he took part in the battle of Great
Bridge, in which he displayed great
courage.
In 1881, after leaving the army,
Marshall began the practice Of law
in his native county. The next year
he was elected to the Virginia as
sembly, serving as legislator during
eight sessions. Later he moved to
Richmond and, from 1888 to 1891,
was that city's representative in the
assembly. He was also a member
Of the federal convention which met
in 1888 to discuss ratification of the
Constitution Of the United States.
This issue was holly debated, and it
was largely through his convincing
arguments that ratification was car
ried.
He refused the attorney general
ship and the ministry to France,
but, in 1879, accepted appointment
as special envoy to France, serving
with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney
and Elbridge Gerry. After serving
in congress and as secretary of
state, he was named chief Justice,
a post he held until his death in
Philadelphia.
AS chief justice he rendered nu-
merous decisions Of prime impor-
lance to the nation. At period
when the powers Of congress were
poorly defined, when the processes
Of constitutional government were
still in the experimental stage, he is
credited with having made the
Constitution i've"

Three Methods Are Used
in the Curing of Pork

There are three methods Of cur
ing pork-the sweet pickle process,
the dry salt method, and the dry
cure, states a writer in the Chicago
Tribune. In the first, used for hams,
the meat is soaked in watts contain
ing salt brine, a sweetening agent,
and nitrate Of soda. The cure re-
quires 20 to rs days and a constant
temperature Of SO to 40 degrees
must be maintained.
The second method consists Of
putting layers of salt between piles
Of meat. The third is used largely
for bacon and consists Of soaking
the meat in a light brine containing
sugar and nitrate of soda. To finish
off the cure the meats are placed in
smoke from burning hardwood
which adds to the flavor and color.
The salt used prevents spoilage,
the sugar offsets the taste Of the
salt. and the nitrate preserves the
color.
Lard is made from hog fat, either
by boiling in an open kettle or
through a steam pressure method.
It is cooked, filtered, and chilled,
the cooking separating the meat f.
bers from the fat. The remain
der, cracklings and tankage, is used
as stock and poultry feeds.

Glass Was Discovered on
the Coast of Palestine

The origin Of glass is lost in myth
and romance but there are many
legends told in regard to 1t. One Of
these credited to Pliny, notes writ
er in the Los Angeles Times, is that
1t was accidentally discovered by
some Phoenician merchants who
landed on the coast Of Palestine
and cooked their food in pots sup
ported on cakes Of inter taken from
their cargo. They were greatly sur.
prised to find this solid matter had
become fluid and mingling with
the sand had produced a transpar-
ent substance now called glass. Cold
fact says the temperature Of the
fires could not have been great
enough to melt the sand, but science
has ever had a way Of interfering
with romance.
America began its story Of glass
before the Pilgrims landed at Ply
mouth Rock. A glass house was
established in the English set
Element at jamestown, Va. This
was the first factory built on this
continent. Its first products were
bottles. Later a considerable trade
was established with the Indians in
supplying them with colored beads
with which they were greatly
enamored. Years later glass fac
tories were established in Massa-
chusetts, New York and other New
England and mid-Atlantic states,
but 1t was not until after the Amer
lean Revolution that the glass in
dustry really took root here.
Over three centuries have passed
since the first rough bottles were
produced at jamestown. Today we
take all manner Of glass products
as a matter Of course which in the
early days Of the industry would
have seemed impossible to produce.

Branded for Heaven

The Bheels, a people who live in
country east of Gujarat in the
Bombay Presidency Of India, have
a curious custom in connection with
their belief in the hereafter. All
males are branded from the wrist
to the elbow. The brands leave
from four to five scars, each the size
Of five-shilling piece, on each fore
arm. The idea, says London Tit
Bits Magazine. is that on passing
over into the unknown the god Ram
will have no difficulty in recogniz-
ing them for Bheels, and will give
them a welcome into heaven or
swarg, as they call 1t. But easy
entry into swarg is provided for
the males only, and presumably the
females, lacking the branding, have
to find other means by which to pass
the recording angel.

SOCIAL SECURITY
QUESTION BOX

QUESTION: Why do I have to
get a social account numberf
ANSWER: If you are commercial
or industrial worker, you need a
number to identify the old-age in
surance account in which your
wages are recorded toward the
benefits which will later be due
you. 1t insures that your account
will not be confused with that of
any worker. For this reason you
should have only one number and
you should keep the same number,

FEARFULLY AND WONDER
FULLY MADE
BY Wiener

Today mans outlook Of life is
greatly influenced by the amazing
advances Of science, especially in
the field Of atomic physics. Man
reads about the electrons, protons
and neutrons. He Is aware that
the universe of his perceptions
consists largely of space, every
atom largely empty space, individ-
ualized by the dynamic constella-
ton of electrons and protons. His
conquest Of nature consists in his
ability to utilize the universal ener-
gy. Yet, although aware that
energy is practically "all there is"
man, nevertheless, thinks Of him
self in terms Of the material, as
transient matter which may disap-
pear into nothingless. He ignores
the fact that the body also con-
sists of atoms which are largely
empty space and that it is the mo-
ton Of electrons and protons which
creates the substance and the man.
This book deals with the func-
tions of the human organism, it's
physiology, anatomy and behavior
as a whole. Life is an energy
phenomenon and the, functions of
the body, including it's sense per-
ceptions andmental processes, are
interpreted in terms Of the energy
ceptions and mental processes, are
scribing the organs and the var
ious functions and investigating
the physic-chemical laws applic-
able to them, the author, time and
place.
SEASONED TIMBER
BY Dorothy Garfield
Around Timothy Coulton Hume,
principal of small-town Academy,
who finds himself deep in a sec
ond-youth love affair, and who lat
err becomes involved, along with his
students and the citizens of Wind
ward County, Vermont, in all the
gyrations Of a hot township cleo
ton, Dorothy Garfield weaves the
theme of this stirring novel. The
election turns on the issue Of race
pTeluulCc anu Ill IiiC PoooioAAoSC
argument of a concrete problem,
all the characters and characters
tics of the village comes out in
sharp relief.
While shrewd Yankee humor and
acquisitiveness, conservative yet
free-thinking traditional and COM
mon sense show clearly, Dorothy
Garfield pictures a Vermont which
is symbolic of an America where
human values and freedom can
still stand against power and ma
terial advantage.
Love-bedeviled Timothy, his dark
haired Susan, Candy Hunter, the
Zestful Extrovert, laconic Mr.. Dew

Kemp, rising young business man,
and a dozen others are representa-
tive of a democracy as inspiring
in it's present manifestations as in
it's traditions from a liberty loving
past.
