Under the old system of making public buldings appropna-' _ _ tions, vities in which the 'improvements were to be made, and . the sums authorized, were specified but under the new Public Buildings bill, the Secretary of the Treasury may spend the money wherever he sees fit, the only limitation being that not more than $5,000,000 of the authorized amuount shall be -- . allotted to any one state,. It can readily be understood why politicians who have found the rolling of the pork barrel a eonvenient means of strengthening their positions, see no good in the new bill, since it would remove-- the public buildings ~The charge that the "pork barre!" is being abolished in > disappoifitment.

Its advantages and values far outweigh the others, but from ene side of the question or the other, serious problems have arisen that must be settled. With one out of six Americans owning cars, what new problems will be created when two out of six are motor car possessors ? Parents of boys aided financialyy in the erection of this monument to Mark Twain and his two immortal juvenile characterizations and parents of countless other boys voiced their val of the unveiling of such a memorial. Far and wide wfi:ver the news of the perpetuation in broze of '"Tom and Huck" spread fathers and sons must have exthanged looks of mutual understanding. C * Mark Twain's juvenile characters are the most famous boys in American literature. Few, indeed, are the American boys who graduate from their teens without having read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn and that reading is done not Only with parental and school acquiescence but at th¢ urgent suggestion. of both parents and teachers. No boy's library is eomplete without volumes on these two boys<who were made, by their creator, to have the very adventures that every red-- And yet it was only 'a faw years ago that Mark Twain's boy heroes were taboo in many homes because fathers, who had forgotten the thrills and dreams of boyhood, thought the stories of these lazy, mistchievious and disobedient boys of fiction set a bad example for their own flesh and blood progeny. Even the most puritanical and narrow--minded parent of today eonsiders it his duty to encourage his sons to read Twain's books, although many of these present--day fathers, as boys, were forbidden to read them. * * _-- _ One of the most'important events of human experience is the graduation from school or college. . To the young person just coming out into the world, it is the most significant and meaningful day that has yet come, and hardly anything else is of equal moment up to the time that people get married. A graduation where one finishes his education, and starts out to earn his own support, is one of the great turning points in a career. The graduate faces this event with a mixture of feelings. One sees that a great change has come. Where before one had been sheltered by the protections which a school or sollege gives, now the time has come when one must go out liddbbot_tlewiththqworld,perhapsmeetmanydistreuin! and harassing experiences. To one who is older, it seems a hard thing for a young person to give up the shelter of a home in which he has been brought up, and go out and thus take the hard knocks of the world. But it is the happy gift of youth to look at these days ahead with a confident faith that all will come out well. With the rosy cheer of youth, no possibility of adverse mischance is seen, but there is a buoyant outlook that the path to success will be won. y When one has received a diploma from a good school or eollege, there is reason for that faith. The same spirit that learned those many lessons, often denying chances to go off and have a good time, or spend hours in slothful ease, will make good in the world outside. Young people who have done well in their studies have a right to expect success in the world, only they must not be disappointed and disheartened by rebuffs that will come.

New-- terry of Michigan had been seated by the republica party in 1922 even though he had spent $195,000 in a primary campaign, the demotrats seized upon that as one of their bigy issues. ~They chided the republicar party for adopting a senate resolu-- tion which said $495,000 was too much to be spent. in a primary cam-- paign and. in the same resolution awarding Newberry a seat.
