The idea of regulating the labor of a child who is seventeen and a nail years old is absurd. These theorists in congress have no sense of the value of youthful labor to a large family of struggling people. Any such amendment would bring great distress to many families. would throw many children into idle ress and would be one more break in the ideal government that the Con stitution provided. Right or wrong, the Constitution t.nkerers proceed merrily on their way.

The revision of postal rates as pro posr-il would restore this profitable business to the postoffice department. Newspaper publishers ask for this amendment not as a favor, but as an act of justice which instead of cost ing the government anything would bring larger revenue to the treasury.

That is rather characteristic of elec tion these days. : o: Section 4 of Article IV of the Con stitution of the United States pro vides that "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Un ion a republican form of govern ment," etc. Recent proposals for 1 onstitutional amendments indicate utter disregard of this constitutional mandate, and in spite of it. to give to the states dictorial government from Washington.

Road dust is drawn in at every stroke of the piston. After five hundred miles of operation your motor oil contains hard dirt particles and is so heavily diluted with gasoline and condensed water that it can't give protective lubrica tion. It is gradually becoming a grind ing solution. To avoid wearing out your motor and paying big repair bills, drain and flush the crank-case, every five hundred miles. Keep clean oil of the right body on every bearing surface. Then you will have protective lubrication. You'll actually save many times the cost of extra oil you use and get more power and mileage from gasoline. Consult the Polarine Chart. Use the grade recommended for your car.
