What these boys and girls have accomplished is an end to which all can work. It is improbable that any of the 76 recipients of scholarships could have had the advantage of collegiate or university training without the assistance rendered by the scholarships. Sixty-one of these young men and women, the scholarships being equally divided between the sexes, have graduated; the others are continuing their studies. The graduates have chosen 14 occupations, nearly one-half having entered the field of teaching. The legal profession is represented by nearly 15 per cent. In addition to these are business men, physi cians, architects, chemists, engineers, real estate agents, journalists, and one in each of the follownig occupations: secretary, druggist, missionary, social work, and United States consul. One outstanding scholarship recipient is Lewis Joel Mordell, Fielden Professor of Pure Mathematics at Manchester University. Mr. Mordell, while a student at the Central High School of Philadelphia, had shown unusual mathematical ability and, in a competitive examination, won a scholarship at St. John's College, Cambridge, England. This fund granted him a special scholarship, the only one which has been awarded, for four years at that collegs. Professor Mordell is a member of the Council of the LondonIathematical Society and is the author of many papers on mathematical theories and problems. He has served as lecturer at Birbeck College, University of London, ami at the Manchester College of Technology. During the World War he served for two and a half years with the Ministry of Munitions in London. The United States consul referred to is Edward I. Nathan, representing the United States at Palermo, Italy, which post he has occupied since 1921. He began his consular service at Patras, Greece, in 1907. and Jias looked after American interests at Mersina, Turkey, and Vigo, Spain. i.s the great often helps highway to success.

SIXTY MINUTES! "How much of joy. how much oC pain. .May center in one crowded hour!" Philip Liindsley's "Concentration." .Sixty minutes: A lot can happen in that time and then again, nothing may happen. But those sixty minutes mean a lot to us, though their meaning differs with our work and our environment. For instance, sixty minutes mean three thousand and sis hundred seconds, and parts of that number, to the sprinter and track man. He counts every little tick of the watch and each tick means just one thing to him. The less ticks that take place during the time he is doing his stuff on the L'20. 440. or relay, the better off he i.s and his aim is to work and see that sa few ticks occur as humanly possible.
How differently the biologist or geologist looks at it! One hour? Sixty minutes'.' I'shaw!- What does a small pinch of time like that have Io do with the development of a species, a race, stratum of rock, or an eon or era like the carboniferous period? Those, sixty minutes might as well not have been as far as he is concerned in his study of say. tho Devonian period. Sixty minutes in millions of years? What a trifle! Yet. such a trifle of time that it makes no impression on rock strata in a million years, may make a very indelible impression on the life of any one of us. We don't hang around this earth a million years or so, and the sixty minutes is relatively-a much larger portion of time to us. Take any sixty minutes" we may remember. "What has happened during the time that it took the big hand to go around the clock face once'.' Fortunes have been lost. otJiers made in less time than that, even though none of us may have experienced personally cither one of these incidents. Take something ciaser to home. Our high school, our college Alma Mater may have gone from the top to the bottom of an athletic conference in basketball or football standing. The one game the game upon which we counted everything, may have been dropped. Never saw the team play so rotten before! No pep and the rival out !U 'romped over us to a decisive victory. Some of us are disgusted with the school, team and everything after that hour-has passed. Some of us. more loyal than others, are determined to stick througri with the old school win or lose. Maybe we're on the other side. Our school has plunged through to a glorious victory and we are .justly proud of her. One hour ago we had hoped she would do it. but a look at the opposing squad took some of the wind out of our sails. The team, however, put up such a strong offensive at the very start, that the other squad was bluffed into a defensive game until it was too late to come back. Great old team! Glorious old
school! All in sixty minutes too! How many of ns" have had sixty minutes mean the difference between t lie life and death of some one of our friends or family? "What a hopelessly short time it seemed whenthere was no hope what a joyfully long time when the minutes in that hour meant a virtual "coining back" to life. Sixty minutes at study long ones if wc don't enjoy the study. Sixty minutes at the movie- what a shot i. time it seems when there is really a e;ood, clean, wholesome picttii e on. and how long it seems when we have to sit through a program of propaganda slush! Many of these sixty minute periods have gone by in bunches, making nTTi'letmito impression upon our life or actions. Other groups of sixty minutes have made marked differences in our conduct, both at that time and in the future. No.-,-, there's one way Io spend a sixty minute period that might not prove so unprofitable. How about sitting down for sixty minutes and tiuiing up just which hours of our lives have been of the most lasting belief.! to us and why'.' Then, how about figuring up some we've gotten no benefit from and why? I!iili'r course would prove a beneficial manner in which to spend the summing-up period of an hour -and the combination of both lines of thought into one throe hundred and si:.-fy second interval would pt nve doubly bonchoial. No Junior Klansnian will ever forge; the sixty minutes during which he first received the initiation ork of the Junior Klan. ile may have become exceedingly prolieient in the work after that, and may have, through a place on the Degree Team, given the work in part to many other follows.. Itni the hi s i time he experience,! the ritualistic! work of the Junior Klan is the time that counts more personally to him, than any other succeeding lime. -Ml other times must naturally refer bach to the first j in the natural process of memory. That was indeed a valuable sixty minutes. j So. let's oo-a ; look upon one hour as an insignificant measure of
lime, thinking: e.i. ineieu ii" another Hour along I II .rust put this off for a while, and do i:u.. morrow -or in the next hour maybe." Probably that hour will come along a'.l light, but more probably, we'll put the thing off untii the next and tiie next.. and so on ad t'uiitum. Hours mav seem about all alike they are the same in length -but ten o'clock, Friday morning. January !a.k 1 will be here but once. We have ii. What are we going to do v. ith it? Sixty minutes!

I ourselves with seme definitions. The i first one we'll need will be the definij tlon of "impost." An impost is a tax levied on articles brought into a cnuntrv. An "import ' is a thing brought
into a country from another countr . An "export" is a thing or commodity sent out of a country. The "inspections laws refer to certain legislative acts authorizing an official examination of commodities and manufactures to ascertain their

"Compact" in the sense used here.
means an agreemem or com.ia.ca. m the more formal or solenTfT kind. "Imminent " of course, means threatening.
Peculating Congress. lined with these definitions, let's
plunge into the clause. The power to
regulate commerce with foregn nations, among the several states and
with the Indian tribes is put into the hands of congress by the constitution.
Now, since a duty on imports and exports may be of such nature as to affect commerce greatly, the states are
prohibited from levying any such
duty except for a specified purpose.
in order that a state may not carry
to the extreme the inspection laws and use them not merely for inspection but for rilling the state treasury,
what remains of the duties, over and
above the expense of paying for the
inspection, is put into tiie treasury of tho. United States. Also, whatever
inspection law a state makes with re
gard to imports and exports is sub
ject to the revision and control of
congress.
A difference, nowever, is notea in
inter-state or In intra state commerce.
In regard to the products of the state
that are to be sold within the state or
shipped to any part of the United
States, a state has the right to make
such laws in regard to inspection as

immigrants, as this dutv belongs to the Fnitcd States, I fn reference to the tonnage duty I mentioned in this clause, we are first
reminded that the power to tax involvs the power to destroy. So the
power to control the means of commerce is-a power 10 control commerce. Ships are carriers of trade, and if states were allowed to levy a duty on the capacity of a vessel, for the privilege of trading at a port ' or for other commercial needs, congress's power over commerce would be greatly curtailed. Owners of vessels are. however, subpect to tax on their vessels by a slate in the same manner in which that state taxes other personal property, real estate, etc. Regular Troops.

States are also prohibited from engaging in any kind of foreign or domestic entanglements through agreements or contracts entered into with foreign powers or with other states. We all know, however, that selfpreservation i.s the primary law of life so a state, if actually invaded or in such danger that it cannot wait for defense from the national government, may engage in war. This completes our study of the Legislative Department of the United States Government as outlined in the Constitution. !N'ext week we will start with the Executive Department.
-xow. tor trie question and the an-!
i swer. The question comes from a hnv
in Highland Park. Michigan, and is: "A man enlists in the military service of the United States, serves some time, and is discharged dishonorably, depriving him of his rights a a citizen. Is there any way provided by United States law. either civil or military, whereby he can regain such lost citizenship?" E. P.. Highland Park, Mich.
Our friend. K. P., had "discharged
without honor" in there instead of
dishonorably discharged" so we had
to change it to answer the question.
J- irst, mere are three classes of dis
charge: with honor, without honor.
and dishonorable. Only the dishonor
able discharge deprives the man of his
citizenship rights. Boys familiar with
the service, will remember the "white
cards issued as an honorable dis
cnarge. me oiue caras issued as a disability or without honor dis
charge, and the "yellow cards" is
sued as a dishonorable discharge.
The only way in which a man who has been dishonorably discharged
may regain his lost citizenship is through a bill by the United States
Congress. The way to start proceedings is for the dishonorably discharged man to get in touch with the United States representative from his district, and have him bring up the bill. Any questions or comments on our
discussion of the constitution will be
med, and will be answered

the game schedules arc: Saginaw. Jackson. Wayne. lona. Muskegon. Lenawee,. Branch. Kalamazee, Calhoun. Washtenaw, Oakland, Genesee. Phlawassi e. iiay. Midland. Ingham and Gratiot. All oth'-r counties not in the above list should get in touch with the Realm Director of Michigan immediately if they wish to place for
entry in the state tournament in the spring. Preliminary games throughout this season are absolutely neces sary for the development of a tournament calibre team. Watch Michigan for the real basketball dope! Some hot contests are scheduled, for teams have already-
been paired off according to their rec
ords of last season, ana every game
nromises to be a battle between even
ly matched squads.

Kitten Ket, we're ashamed of you! What have you been doing to get all the ladies to champion you? You must have done something, because we received a letter objecting to the way we kicked you around. Yes, sir, a woman up in New England somewhere sent us a line or two telling Ua that such cruelty to animals was disgusting. Yep that letter's on file right here in the editor's office. C'mon over and look at it. That's all right, Kitten. You're only a fictitious ket and as such you get only fictitious kicks. However, the editor is so well versed on ket lore he readily appreciates the fact. Kitten, that kets enjoy their ninth life much better than the first eight, so he was merely helping you to attain the goal of the greatest happiness. Big Boy's taken a lot of ficticious scratches from you as a ficticious ket. Guess we have the , score pretty even, ehT' .

HINTS TO SUCCESS
BY BUSINESS LEADER
New York. Jan. 26. A business man who has made a great success in life, gives the following rules which should be followed. He did so and attributes his present position to them. He thinks boys should tart life with such in view. "Remember that the most servicable of all assets is reputation. "Go for a ride on the horse of your Imagination from time to time. But remember it's a high-strung animal and needs keeping under careful control. "Be neighborly, be a good sport. Don't think you can lift yourself up
by downing others.
"Work halt, presumaoiy you nave ideals; keep t?".eni. Don't become cynical. Don't scoff. Don't lose faith.
"Take an interest and a due share in public affairs. Business cannot prosper unless the. ship of state is run on a steady keel and steered with

The officers are working hard on the ritualistic side of activity and. while no one lays claim to having the crack degree team of the Wolverina State, they will say that the Bay City degree team is one of the best in this part of the country. The order here is carrying out its own programs, in addition to the reg ular Educational Program., and they think they have some well-developed plans. However, there's nothing like knowing what the other fellow is doing too, and an exchange of ideas through these columns on the Junior page of the Kourier publications is recommended.
