CHAPTER VII

That week of the Fourth of July, Iris tried to make Bart buy a sum- mer suit.
 Everyone else is wearing sum- ner things, Bart, and you just can't go on wearing blue pusi- ness suit to dances all summer. And Kings store is having big sale. You could get nice gray suit for a very decent price right now"
 Cant afford 1t, honey. Got some summer merchandise coming in and it will take everything I've got to swing the deal"
 "Then get one and pay for it a little each week, Bart"
 ''Neverl" he exploded, and stopped at her frightened expression. "Oh, what's the use, Iris? You know how I am about debts and charge ac- counts and time payments. We're getting along all right the way we are, and we don't go out enough to warrant laying lot of money on clothes right now"
 wed go if you cared enough to dress decent the way other men do, Bart!'
 He glanced at her curiously, and his mouth frightened but he didn't t say anything. If he thought they couldn't afford the movies, dances and parties they went to now, let alone any further gadding, Iris couldn't tell from his guarded ex- pression.
 If you don't begin to dress like other business men do, Bart, every ones going to think you're not suc- cessful or smart. All the men know count their appearance 50 per cent of the battle."
 I'm not buying suit on time payment, Iris, and I can't afford to get one now. I'm sorry. You know I told you long before we married, that a financial handicap was no fun"
 Tt needn't be a handicap, Bart, if you wouldn't be so stubborn, '' Iris fiared, John Kent buys his suits and clothing on a budget plan."
 And the Rents do not even own thcir furniture. They live in a rent ed flat, pay for last years car out of this years budge;;ng, and if any thing ever happened to either of them where would they be?"
 Nothing eve, coes, Bart! I wish

MorshoII-Interpreter Of the Constitution


 NEXT to James Madison, who - drafted the great document, John Marshall was the closest stu dent of the U. s. Constitution in its early years and his interpreta- tions left profound precedents.
 Marshall was keenly aware of the deep social forces which had produced the instrument, of the breach between the aristocracy on the one hand, the mercantile group, the public creditors, the men of property, and the less well-to-do on the other. He saw, too, how closely fought was the contest for its adoption and so when he became chief justice he endeavored to weigh all this in his historic deliberations.
 On Marshall's shoulders fell the task of interpreting the Constitu- ton during the most critical period of its history. In all he de- cided A notable cases involving constltutlonal questions. On many of them rested the future of the very government which the Con- stitution had established. Marshall personally wrote the opinions in the most important cases.
 Such cases were Marbury ver- sus Madison, in which Marshall decided that the Supreme Court could declare unconstitutional an act of Congress, and McCulloch versus Maryland, giving Congress a wide latitude to execute it's dele- gated powers. Thus Marshall laid the groundwork which is still es- sential to preservation of the American system.

Jerry Muskrat became restless and
homesick. He would sit at the edge
of the Old Brier Patch and gaze

their best to cheer him, for they

For the first time in his life Jerry
Muskrat knew what 1t was to be
homesick. You see it was the first
time he ever had been far from
home. But that wasn't the worst Of
it. No. sir, that wasn't the worst
of it. He hadn't any home to 60
back to. At least he was very sure
he hadn't. The flood had swept
his home away. You see. he quite

swept over Jerry Muskrat. He
hadn't felt it at first. He had been
so relieved to find a place of safety
that that was all he could think of.
Then he had saved Peter and Mrs.
Peter from Shadow the Weasel and
this had taken up his mind. It
had been exciting, too. He had
kept guard until Shadow had given
up at last and left the dear Old

L. M. L.: l have q question l
want printed in the column very
soon. I am thinking about writing
and selling poetry and wonder if
l will be successful along this line.
The jobs I get are just too hard.
Ans: Hard work with regular
meals is better than starving to
death trying to write poetry. / adj
wise you against writing poetry as
q means Of making your living s. .
do it as a hobby, but it will take
quite some time before you are
good enough to write poems that
will sell. Go back to work.
r. C. B.: l am behind on my
taxes and / wish to know if the
state is going to take my home for
the taxes?
Ans: Some financial arrange
ment must be made with the state,
else you will lose your place. You
had better rent out part of your
home as well as work a little hard
er so that you can meet your obi
cations. There is a chance of your
saving the place, if you get down
to business and strive toward that
source.
H. B. c.: l am thinking of going
with my sister on trip and I Won
der if I will enjoy it or not, or

G. D.: Is my companion true to
me in every way? I had one of
your Astrology Readings and it
was true all the way through.
Ans: Your companion is true
thus far :. but you had better
keep your eyes on him and the
young lady he was talking with on
a certain Saturday. She would
like very well to give you a bit of
competition.
V. H. g.: / am behind with my
bills. Will you please tell me the
best thing to do?
Ans: You are making a mistake
in thinking that you can get the
money to pay your bills playing the
