ELGIN (Special) The Elgin
Women's club held their annual
Kducationnl Fund program on
Thursday afternoon at tho Knights
of Pythias hall. This year the club
asked Miss Nellie Hush and Mrs.
David Blumcnsteln to arrange a
program with their pupils in the
second and third grades In the
public school taking part. Due to
the nearness of the date' to the
birthday of George Washington a
patriotic program was given. The
little folks showed the results of
careful training and work on their
part. A large crowd 'attended the
program which consisted of dra
matizations, a flag drill, drills in
colonial and Indian costume, a
vocal solo by little Rose Murle
Hazen and a reading by Miss Mar
garet Morgan of the high school
faculty. Following the program
the women of the club served cuke
and coffee in the dining room.
The junior class of the high
school gave a play "Cheer Up,
Chad,"- ut the opera house Wed
nesday evening. The novel Intro
duction of the characters by little
Helen and Walter Buckley dressed
as a fairy and a brownie was well
received. The music and readings
given between acts were excellent.
Each of the churacters In the play
showed the results of careful
training and study. The pluy was
under the direction of Miss Mar
garet Morgan. A large crowd was
In attendance and a good sum was j
added to the student body treas
ury to pay on the gymnasium.
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Cates are
spending this week on the ranch
near Palmer Junction. Mrs. Cates
will return next . week to Elgin,
where their children ar.e attending
school. .
A meeting of the parents and
teachers was held ut the school
house to consider the organization
of a parent-teachers association
here. !
Mrs. Bert utgglnB and boi Don-1

tion provides also that when throe
Court ha of the- stales have rati
fied a proposed amendment, it
shall be proclaimed. This Is done
by the slate depurtmenl. But the
constitution makes no provision for
proclaiming the defeat of. a pro
posed . amendment and thoroby
closing the chapter. Bills now
am pending In Congr"M o have
defeat as well us ratification pro

they probably would not affect the

apply to future proposals. '
The state department. In addl

registered.' t It takes ho notice pf
the proposed laws which fall of
enactment. And It has not been
the practice for states Jo report
a hen lhy rejected u constitutional
amendment... They only report
when they accept one.
But the question of how long a
proposed amendment may pend.
while state legislatures nre swayed
one way and the other upon If.
presents a question which ultimat
ely may come to the supreme courl
of the Uulted Stales. The pro
ponents of the child labor amend
ment argue that states have chang
ed before- and been recorded ac
cording to their latest decision.
Congress, In submitting the pro
posed amendment to the states, did
not fix any time limit within which
t'hey must act, as it did in the pro
hibition ' amendment,, the eight
eenth... In that case congreus" re
quired action within six years.
But in the case of the child labor
amendment there Is no such llmin
utlon und the supporters of the
change contend that the amend
ment run be made effective any
time ifti states ratify it.
