So probably you will picture to yourself Miles Standish and John Alden and fair Priscllla and all the rest of the stately C9mpany walking down the gangplank of the Mayflower and stepping off on to the good old solid rock of New En^ land--good old solid New England bedrock thtt had been right there and had been bidding deft* ance to the sea and the elements when the Rockies were still at the bottom of the ocean. Well, that's fine for a historical picture.. Bat nowadays science will not let us alone for a single minute. Champion busybodies, these scientists-- regular buttlnskys! When they are not inventing a new kind of poison gas to abolish war by making It too deadly for any use they are fixing up a balanced ration to do away with Thanksgiving dinners. And now they've gone and monkeyed with Plymouth Rock--with Plymouth Rock itself I It's a sad tale, fellow Americans. And here it Is in all its Baddening details. An especially sad detail Is that it seems to have Its beginning In a natve-born American, Dr. George Frederick Kuns. To be sure, he was born In New York city--and New York and Massachusetts differ a bit on and in many things--which may account for^hls doings. Anyway, he's a "gem expert" and a member of many scientific societies all over the world and the wearer of all sorts of decorations. Most remarkable of all, he's president of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation society. Well, Dr. Kunz attended the recent meeting at Toronto, Ont., of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. There he produced a granite sliver which he said was a piece of Plymouth Rock. And the Britishers--as eager as ever to get even, after more than 300 years--fell upon that poor lone sliver of Plymouth Rock, haled It Into a clinic and proceeded to operate. Dr. A. P. Coleman, Dr. W. H. Collins, Prof. T. L. Walkef, Dr. H. M. Ami and other Canadian geologists pel* formed the operation. ^ Before the operation Plymouth Rock was good old New England granite. After the operation--- which, of course was entirely successful--Plymouth Rock was "blotlte granite with altered plagioclase feldspar!" The "altered" part of It Is easy to understand, but just what they did to poor old Plymouth Rock even a desk dictionary of 1,080 pages can't explain. And all the comfort one can get out of a 2,620-pager is that they didn't say poor old P. R. is anorthoclase. * But there's mofe to come--and worsqf Those Canadian iconoclasts proceeded to hold what appeared to the Pilgrim society and the National Society of Mayflower Descendants and the» Commonwealth of Massachusetts to have many resemblances to a post in oft em. Whatever it may be called, its findings are these, in effect: Plymouth Rock is a jj&y deceiver. Plymouth Rock deceived the Pilgrims. Plymouth Rock baa been masquerading thesa three hundred years as a "little bit of New Eng» land." Plymouth Rock Is a detached boulder, cast « the New England shore by the Ice. Plymouth Rock Is a British immigrant, as British as the Pilgrims themselves. Plymouth Rock is a part of a mother rock, located north of the St. Lawrence, probably in Labrador. Plymouth Rock is an unwitting Instrument la this international deceit, the "power behind the thrown" being a gigantic glacier that did the Job about 500,000 years ago without attracting general attention. - « Did the old Bay state rise as one man In protest?

The home of the Bean and tha Cod, Now the Lowells have no one to talk to Since the Cabots speak Tiddlsh, b'grad. But the patriotic societies of the old Bay state let out a roar of wrath and anguish. And when the University of Rochester--New York and Massachusetts always did have hard work to dwell together In amity--announced that Plymouth Rock had come from Canada, the grand old Common- Wealth got Into action. Gov. Channlng H. Cox Was out of the state, but Lieut. Gov. Alvan T. Fuller, without waiting a minute, ordered an examination then and there of Plymouth Rock. Canadian geologists are not the only ones who can wield the hammer and juggle the microscope 1 What Lieutenant Governor Fuller's geology experts will ftnd--or will report--can only be guessed at this writing. Perhaps It is better sot Anyway, Samuel Rice, who is custodian of Plymouth Rock and Its grand new portico and ,, Commonwealth Reservation, reports that "some relic hunter has stolen a silver from the rock," and points out what seems to be a freshly broken Spot on the weather-worn surface close to which are marks as if some one had been hammering. Plymouth Rock was taken from the custody of Ihe Pilgrim Society of Plymouth In 1920 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Is now a ward of the state. It lies about eight feet below the flooring of the portico which covers It and It is possible to walk about three sides of It. The old canopy which covered the rock from 1867 to 1020 was provided with tall steel grill gates which were locked nights so "relic hunters" had little chance then. As to the "Thanksgiving Eats," many good ;• Americans would doubtless be glad to see Massa- Soit more highly honored on Thanksgiving day. It Was he who introduced the cranberry and,the "punkln" to the American people through the Pilgrims. Massasolt may have been a poor Ignorant savage and all that, but he and his people had a delightfully simple and fairly efficient agricultural system: Corn in the hill and a climbing bean; a pumpkin seed every five hills. Massa solt showed the Pilgrims the cranberry growing Wild In the marshes and had no difficulty whatever In demonstrating that roast turkey and cranberry sauce was one heaven-born combination. The Pilgrims, of course, knew about turkeys, which had been taken across seas from Mexico and had become common on English farms before 1000. But it was Massasolt who brought turkey, cranberry and pumpkin together for the Pilgrims. Massasolt evidently was what In these days Would be called "a good old scout." At the time Of the arrival of the Pilgrims he was head chief or sachem of the Wampanoags, whose territory extended from Cape Cod to Narragansett bay. His home town was on the site of Warren, R. I. He was about forty years of age, "a portly man In his best years, grave of countenance and spare of speech." Massasolt was a good friend to the Pilgrims and the offensive apd defensive treaty made with them was kept by the chief to the day of bis death in 1061. The "Mayflower Compact" Is of course one of <tfie Important documents of our American histoiy. It was signed by the 41 male Pilgrims in the cabin of the Mayflower before the landing on Plymouth Rock. The agreement: "In Ye Name of God. Amen--We whofe names rt-e under-written, the loyal subjects of our dread SOveralgne Lord King James, by ye grace of God <01 Great Britaine, France A Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, Stc. "Haveing under-taken for ye glorie of God. and have here-under subferibed our names at Cape Codd ye 11 of November In ye year of ye ralgne of our soveralgne Lord Klhg James of England. France & Ireland ye eighteenth, and of Scotland ye flfty-fourth. Anno Dom. 1620." The following tribute to the Pilgrims Is part of the official proceedings of the House «of Representatives : "Three hundred years ago a small company of devout men and women, upheld by conscience and Inspired by faith, braved the dangers of the sea In order that in a new world they might found a Christian commonwealth. "They landed first at the end of Cape Cod, whera now ts Provincetown. There in the cabin of the Mayflower they signed a compact that has taken Its place among the momentous documents of history, for then Englishmen first joined by mutual covenant to form a civil body politic. Because this was the germ of the Idea that was to grow Into the Constitution of the United States every American owes gratitude to its authors and should honor the spot where it was conceived. "The landing of the Pilgrims' symbolizes one of the world's great adventures. The hardships of the voyage, the perils of the wilderness, the ravages of that dreadful winter--these are but circumstances that frame the picture. Acting for the nation, our concern today with the solmen story Is that it rivets the Imagination on the noblest phases of human nature--lofty purpose, dauntless courage/ steadfast endurance, pious enthusiasm, holy faith. "To commemorate and glorify these virtues, out of which sprang the most precfous institutions Of. America, is not only to Inspire our people with fresh gratitude for their heritage, but also to revive their respect for those institutions, spread understanding of what they mean, insure their safety, encourage their growth. Never has it been more Important for us to teach the lesson of liberty through law, of sacrifice for common gain, of righteousness for its own sake." The Pilgrims naturally are a cherished tradition of the American people, especially from the ideal Istio point of view. It seems to be generally overlooked that the Importance of their success was quite as great from the materialistic viewpoint. Historians point out that It was the economic success of the Plymouth colony, rather than Its high Ideals and religious devotion, that first Interpreted the New World to Europe as a suecessful field for workers and citizens ,-wther than for adventurers. They declare the Pilgrims the most important of the first groups leading the way to our national settlement and development Our national growth In the 300 years since the Pilgrims' landing on Plymouth Rock Is the wonder of the world. There are 110.006,000 of us now. This country Is worth $350,000,000,000. Our farm lands and their permapent improvements are valued at $77,000,000,000.

Kledical science has found in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage through and out of »the body. Thus, Nujol brings internal cleanliness. * Nujol is used in leading hospitals and Is prescribed by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative, and caiinbt gripa.
