One Every Two Minutes One divorce, therefore, is granted in the United States every two minutes. This means that more than two hundred thousand divorces are granted each year. It is estimated that one American marriage in six will end in divorce. Over half a million men. women, and children are directly affected each year by the grist of the American divorce mill. Of all the divorces of 1928, a total of 63 per cent were in families of no children and 20 5 per cent were in families of one child. In other words S3.5 per cent of all divorces occurred n families of one child or none. New Deal, 1839 “Folks thought a new deal would give ’em more fair play. Well, they’ve got a new deal. ... So far so good. A change of men is no great matter natur’ is a chr rgin’ of 'em all the time if government don’t. But the Constitution is another thing. You can't take out the vitals and put in new ones, as you can in a watchcase, with any great success, as ever I hcerd tell of. . . . One thing is sartain,—a power imprudently given to the executive, or to the people, is seldom or never got back.” Our First Will Rogers This ouotation might have been written by a contemporary critic of the new deal. Actually, it was written by our first Will Rogers, a humorist who called himself Samuel Slick of Slickville. Slick’s essays are contained in a little volume entitled "The Clockmaker.” Dean Robert G. 1 McCutchan of the DePauw univer- ' sity school of music, who spent the summer delving into old book collections in New England in search of '

additional items for his nationallyknown library of hymnology, ran across this volume. Proponents find opponents of the new deal will be interested in an additional quotation: Net Result of Change “All changes have the like result, of leavin’ the power in the same place and in the same hands. . . . Everything that gives power to numbers, will carry numbers and be popular. . . . Amend what is wrong, concede what is right, and do what is just always; but preserve the balance of the constitution for your life. One pound weight only taken of the executive, and put t’other end, is like a shift in weight on a wellbalanced plank till it won’t play true no more, but keeps a slidin’ and a slidin down leetle and leetle to the heaviest end, til' it all stays down to one side, and won't work no longer. . . . Repair, amend, enlarge, ventilate, modernize a little too, if you like, your structure, put new roof, new structure, new porch, winders and doors, fresh paint and shingle it, make it more attractive and pleasanter to inhabit, and of course it will be more valuable;—but do you leave the foundation alone— don’t you meddle with the frame, the braces, and girts, or it will spread, bildge out, leak like the devil, and come to pieces some o' these stormy nights about your ears as sure as you are born. Make no organic changes.” And Sam Slick was writing in

1839!

The American Seal Few Americans have seen the reverse side of the national seal. We are familiar with the American Eagle and are proud of it. The reverse is equally interesting ariiT challeging. It is an unfinished pyramid. The pioneering forefathers laid the foundations. Their successors budded. But the pyramid is unfinished. American youth is given educational opportunity afforded no other people. The national seal itself challenges them to build, and to recognize that no permanent reform Is built save upon historical foundations. The motto on the reverse of the seal reads "Novis Ordo Seclorum ” A New Order of the Ages.

ALL-WOOD CLOCK TICKS ACCURATELY SINCE 1640 BRIODUE, France (UP'—An allwood clock, almost 300 years old, has proven a great tourist attraction during the past year to this small village in central France. Carved entirely from wood by a small knife, this clock still keeps accurate time for the entire village. Back in 1640, a craftsman named Hughes Portal started the task of carving the clock from seasoned oak. The movement consists of fourtoothed wheel, three inches in diameter, worked by a four-pound weight on a long cord. The face of the clock which only has one hand, is also of carved wood as is the long pendulum which swings as regularly in 1936 as it did in 1640. DRIVER BEHIND THE TIMES KINGSTON, N.
