-.'.l'he Motor Vehicle Department at
Mord reports that for the first
Quarter of 1924 over 34,000 more
cars were registered than for the
same period last year. This is cer-
tainly the age of automobiles. Now
that the good weather is coming
along the roads are filled with cars
containing thousands upon thou-
Sands of persons pleasure bent.
Nearly every householder owns a
oar. The day may soon come when
people won't build houses. but will
merely «buy a piece of land and an
automobile and live in the automo-
bile on the land. Perhaps they
won't even take the trouble to buy
land but will park along the road-
side or in public parking places pro-
yided by the city. Such a. time will
bring us of course. to a communistic
state and the taxes will be paid by
the auto owner rather than the
house owner. Some think that a
man won't have a telephone in such
days to come_ but he will have a
wireless 'phone in his pocket. He
won’t have to buy coal because his
car will be heated. He won't have
to purchase beds of the style of dear
old Tut because the car seats will
be convertable. The schools. of
course, will be in the community
parking grounds It looks as if the
automobile were becoming king.
The amomobiie makers are certain-
‘ly in the class of princes.
The hobocs use to be the knights
of the road. but today their places
are being taken by the autoists. It's
a wonderful age.

through my beard; "All is not lost,"
I cried: "the sheriff’s record is most

PATRICK 1'1. CI{O\VLEY
Like many other railroad presi-
dents Patrick E. Crowley. recently
elected president ol' the New York
Central Railroad Co., rose from the
ranks.
\Vithout completing the grammar
grades in school, he entered the em-
ploy of the Erie in 1878 as telegraph
messenger at $5 a. month. From
that time on his rise was steady.
From messenger he advanced to
telegraph operator and train dis-
patcher for the Eric Railroad Com-
pany. He maintained at that time
that a man could be a good train
dispatcher without swearing. and
reiterated recently that he believed
this was still true.
In 1890 he went. to the New York
Central as train dispatcher. Then
he became successively chief train
dispatcher, train’ master. chief train
master. chief train master, superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania. division
of the Ne York Central, assistant
general perintendent, assistant
general manager, general manager.
During Government control he was
l-‘cderal manager of the .\‘ew York
Central.

Child Labor
So many misconceptions regard-
ing the Child Labor Constitutional
amendment have reached our allies.
says the, American Child Bulletin,
that it is evident many people are
opposing it who would favor it if
they understood the facts. There-
fore the Bulletin undertakes to an-
swer some of the questions.
1.’ The Shortridge-Foster Consti-
tutional amendment is not a child
labor law—its purpose is simply to
declare that Congress shall have the
power to do the very thing that
Congress has twice undertaken to
do.
2. It is ‘not a reflection on- the
United States Supreme Court. It
undertakes to remove a limitation
on the power of Congress which the
Supreme Court declares exists.
3. It does not propose to forbid
child labor under eighteen. It mere-
ly intends to give Congress discre—
tionary povver regarding the labor of
children up to eighteen. but not be—
yond. In other words, while every
state has unlimited powers (Within

is analogous to what doctors tell
us about “‘1 physical health and

learn to distinguish between false

A thriving baseball club is one of

The team was challenged by a rival ’
club last season. The pastor gave a
special contribution of five dollars
to the. captain. with the direction
that the money should be used to
buy hats, balls glovea. or anything
else that might help to win the
game. On the day of the game. the
pastor was somewhat surprised to
observe nothing new in the clubs

"I don‘t see any new bats ‘1' balls.

"We haven't. anything like than".

“But I gave you five dollars to
