"man', practically every Street 'cornier in the Chicago metropolitan area and offer for sale artificial poppies made to re- semble those that gr ow so profusely in -Flanders fields- The. proceeds frôm. the, sale are devoted to the, care' of disabled veern who, i 1n hospitals, have been enigaged, during the year in- making the, .replicas of'ý the storied flower. To Americans the poppy bas an Arresistible ap- peal. It 'is accepted as a badge of.honor con- ferred upon those who served overseas in the recent great confliçt, andi it is considered an hionor to have opportunity to purchase and wear it as a mark of respect to those Legionnaires who themselves earned the right to dis play it as a token of military' service. Its sale requires no high pressure sales talk on the part of the loyal Aux iliary women and high school girls who dis- tribute it. The average man or woman, approach-. ing an intersection where stands the saleslady, 'f instinctively reaches for a coin .and deposits it with pride into the slotted receptaèle, glad to pa t with it ini exchange for the ç~olorful .flower, and ONE WONDERS It has been said that grading examination papers is the, major cause of gray hair, or no bair among school teachers, to say' nothing of nervous pros- tration.

T HE LINDSEY, CASE *In a ýspeech- on May 13'in the House of Repre- sentatives, Hon. Ralph E. Church, member of congress -from',the 1Oth Mlinois district,' embrac- ing Ne* Trier townsbhip,- made a. stauncb and logical defense, of,. the Supreme Court of the UntdStates as a tribunal in which, the poor as well as the rich may find justice. The-purpose.of Mr. Church was to refute the charg e, so5 often repeated, that only the rich mian can have his case- reviewed-by the highest tribunal ini the land, and lie is +0 iw commended for hi's splendid effort. During the course of his remarks Mr. Church re-' ferred to the Lindsey. case, now pending before the high court, and on which a decision is expected very.soon. He 'gave the facts. as follows: Two Year-s ago, on May '3, 19-15, Elbert B. Lt ncsey and his son were chýarged with grand larceny in Spokane County, *Wash., for ha-ving obtalned $40 with 'a fratudulent check. On Sep- tember 14, 1935, they were tried and found gU'Ilty. on Novemnber 1 they were sentenced to the peni- tentiary for a term 0of "flot more than 15yer2 They did flot have -the, funds to hire, legal advice, but they believed they did flot have a fair trial and partlc'ularly that their constitu- tional rights were vlolated by being convicted and~ sefltenced ' under t aw an ot In force at th,, time.they committed the alleged 'act. The eider Ltnidsey acted as attorney for hlmself andl bis son and appealed to the Supreme Court of the State 'of Washington. That 'court co'nfirmed the conviction and sentence and overruled the Lind- sey argument that the new law as applled to him an(j bis son violated article 1, section 10 of the United States Constitution,_that ",no State shall We always. thought the Ch"ina plenty biig enough for an airplàne, arnmy lias a new 'bomber that is one WeIl, we always say, 'the bigger ' harder, they-no, we won't say if. *ait and see. to reniain m live witb his tly apprboved parents rather and the judge That New York young mnan wbho married a girl 'with an identical twin and'-gets-"em all mixed up b 1as discovered that nmarried 11f e bas its worries.

Looking at the matter in one ligbt, of'> crsit seems to have beeri the stunt of an- eccentric old man wbo, hankered for notori- ety and had sufficiet,ï money to indulge, the urge.ý But again, it may have been a lack of confidence in preachers to tell the world of 'bis good qualities, or a fear that the one chosen to officiate at bis real funeral miglit so far for- get himnseif as to tell the truth about the. deceased. Preach-' ers are often put into emhbarrassing situations wben called upon to officiate at the obsequies for the common run of humankind; The subject somne- tiines lacks the material 'to inspire eulogistic reference, in whicb case it 'ecornes necessary for chances with the gentleman ofth e clotfl, but' to get the jtimp. on bim 'by doing the job hIimself.Us we think be bad lived long enough to know that preachers do not preach funeral sermons, a.s N'w once. thought.
