BILL OF SIGHTS 1927 MODEL
In the bewailing about the current plight of our over-burdened Federal
courts, no attention appears to be given to one of the greatest obstacles
to their business-like procedure. We refer to the inability of the Federal
judiciary to comprehend the exact present meaning of the first, fourth, fifth,
sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth amendments to the Constitution. This is not
ithe fault of the jurists who sit upon the Federal benches, because neither
the Supreme Court nor any other authority has ever attempted to express
j these amendments accurately as they exist at the present time. The con
sequence of this dereliction is that the judges, whose dockets are overloaded
j with cases which involve reinterpretation of thee amendments, are pre
sented with a predicament which amounts to a practical impasse.
In the hope that we may be aiding the judiciary in again achieving a
notable degree of efficency we suggest" the following redefinitions. It will
j be observed that, in the left column, are to be found the parts of the
j amendments in dispute as adopted by the founding fathers, while, in the
'right, era to be observed the same articles as they exist at the moment:
ARTICLE I.
Congress shall make no law abridg
ing the freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition
j the government for a redress of
frievances.
ARTICLE IV.
The right of the people to be secure
in their persons, houses, papers and !
effects, against unreasonable searches
land seizures, shall not be violated.
ARTICLE V.
I Nor shall any person be subject
! jeopardy of life or limb.
ARTICLE VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the ac
cused shall enjoy the right to a speedy cused shall enjoy the right to a trial
and public trial by an impartial jury at such time as shall suit his prose
of the state and district wherein thecutors, and by a jury of whatever

Excessive bail shall not be required,

CAUSES OF DEPRESSION
1 There Is sometimes prosperity in'
business and sometimes there is de-.
I pression. j
j These periods of depression are con
sidered by some necessary and due to
economic causes. Many explanations
are given. ;
The reasons, however, seem to be
quite simple. i
Periods of business depression are
simply opportunities for business to
get back upon an equitable basis. j
They are caused ty a department
generally from business straight deal
ing, i
An examination of the case yields.
i 1 1 uiaiui vuuiut-iiiwL'u , i j Al
lowing causes of these bad spells.
The first cause is extravagance. It
is people's buying what they do not
need or paying unnecessary prices
for things they think they need.
It will be found that the commun-l

; useless things. Paying for these things . .

cause of depression.
Another case is inflation. It is the
old greeback fallacy, that plenty of
easy money is necessary for every-
jbody. It is the pit into which France,
Italy, oermany ana mosi r.urui.tdi,
countries fell and from which t
wnicn tneyj
are climbing out with much labor. In
flation is always a tax made upon
thrift. It hurts those people who have
saved up money and have prepared
to live upon their income. It bears
hardest upon the saving and careful, j
and helps most the extravagant and
wasteful. This is always a difficult"
road for any community to fcllw to
get back from an inflated to a sound
currency.
A third cause is waste. The origin
of many business successes has been known as the speedway, as a rnemor-
the elimination of waste. In many(ial to the late President Roosevelt.'
cases the profits of a concern come The idea is a good one, except that!
from the saving of waste. The form
ing of huge trusts was primarily for
the purpose of eliminating waste.
While this is not to be carried to
meticulous extreme, intelligent man
agement is always on the watch for
waste.
There is a story told of a concern
which made money skimming the:
stream that ran from the stockyards
and using the waste fat which flowed
upon the surface. That was until the
stockyards themselves saw the neces
sity of saving this loss.
Inefficiency Is another cause. It
consists In not making good on or
ders. In lack of promptness and fidel
ity in carrying out contracts, In poor
work, and so on. Nothing pays bet-
ARTICLE I.
Congress shall, except in time of
war, make no law abridging the free
dom of speech, or of the press; or the
right of the people peaceably to as
semble, and to petition the govern
ment for a redress of grievances.
ARTICLE IV.
The right of the people to be secure
in their persons, houses, papers and
effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated,
except when it shall be suspected by
an official that a person, or persons,
may possibly be violating some Fed
eral law.
ARTICLE V.

ARTICLE IX.
The enumeration in the Constitu

to the people, nor shall it be constru
ed to suggest that the people have
any rights whatever which govern
ment is bound to respect.

pie get to listening to rumors and
paying attention to wild reports that
have no foundation. It is easy for
these rumors to spread when a lot
of superstitious people believe in
them and they do vast harm. j
All of these causes result in loss
of morale and in business depression.
There is no reason whatever why,
America should not continue to pro
gress without serious setbacks if it
will stick to the old honesties of busi

ONE-THIRD OF A DRESS
Somewhere between three dresses
and one-third of a dress lies the bold
mean of women's gowns. Turkey is
one of the last countries from which
fashion hints might be expected to
emanate yet it is from the Constan
tinople press that this mild sugges
tion comes intended, to be sure, to
apply only to Turkish women.
Up-to-date women of Constantin
ople, it appears are addicted to the
one-third type of gown, while women
of the interior sometimes wear three
dresses, one over the other, long and
flowing, more than twenty-six yards
of material in each. Aghast at thel
waste caused by this over-modesty,
the perfect of one Turkish village
a brave man has pre-emptorally or-
dered a change n style in the inter-
est of national economy.
Maybe it'll work. It all depends.

less than three dresses,
