notes,' and compared them with
the one which had just come un

'.At our first meeting with Patey

the gorgeous fur wrap of real seal
trimmed with mink which the
woman wore. She had called my
attention to it with childish ela

in the hall outside we had heard

the inadvertently-opened closet

Editor Statesman?
Did you ever notice the fact
our Juries in Marion county are
composed of a very, very large per
cent of foreign names or foreign
accent, names that the average
nigh school boy or girl cannot pro
nounce correctly? The writer has
no prejudice against, these people
born of parents that come from a
foreign land : they can't help that
fact, and they are good Americans,
of most of them at least, but the
thing that I can t understand and
hundreds of others, is this: . Why
make such names as the following
so 'conspicuous by- their absence:
Hunt., Joaes, Brown, Butler, Bak
er, Tayjor, Smithetc? Good old
American names, a lot of .- them
southern names if you please, and
tne sincereity and loyalty of the
south' has never been questioned.

THE CONSTITUTION

they have prospered.1 It is only-when we have strayed from
the paths marked out f orkus by the Constitution that we as
'a nation have suffered. .. Our safety, progress and happiness
as a nation depend upon our respect for and obedience to the
Constitution. ,v ' v . ' y ; . .

Huge Success: Fine Pro
gram is Offered
Nearly 250 boys, members of
the boys division and their
friends, enjoyed a big time at the
YMCA building last night. The
invitations to the affair asked the
boys to bring a paddle and a
friend, and all during.-the after
noon the phone was kept busy
answering calls about "that pad
die." But tne boys snowed up in
great style, some - bearing large
and dangerous. paddles, while the
ft hers carved, out miniature ones.
Boys arrived , at . the ' building as
early as 5 o'clock and besieged the
secretary : witn z . requests to go
swimming, and the fun was on.
The first event oT thV evening was
a swlnr for those wha eared to
swim; -while others amused' them
selves in the gym or game room..
Bob Boardman was master of
ceremonies, and was ably assisted
by members of the senior boys
leaders', club," to whom a large
part of the credit for the success
of the social was due. The "wel
come committee" was made up of
Ed Marr, John Sen after and Bob
Judson. The athletic sports were
carried on : by , Chuck Simpson
Warren Keeney. Clair Miller, Olat
Blixeth and Ray Miller, while Hp-
mer Smith and John Sills were re
sponsible for the serving of the
sweet cider and doughnuts. (As
usual,, there was no filling-up ot
the boys.) ? -- , ' ' ,
After a;few games In the gym
the boys assembled at the piano in
