How many times we have pounc-ed upon supposed truths.—only to find out. a f t e r more exhaustive study and experiment—that we were wrong!

For instance I have preached for years that , the pipe-smoker may bring himself a lip-cancer by long frequent massage with a pipe-stem. Now. a careful th inker observes that tobacco has little influence in causing cancer ; in o ther words, any sort of stick would cause can-cer of the lip just as quickly, used In the same way. No. m a m a . I 'm not trying to encourage the use of tobacco; I 'm just telling Grand-dad not to chew any sort of stick as a habit.

It is known that an exposed cor-set-stay may bring to light a can-cer of the breast . No tobacco about that , but it is a villian, just the

same. And. a fine medical wri ter tells

u s that blood-pressure is not perm-anent ly made worse by tea or cof-fee or even salt . That more folks die f rom lack of chlorides than f r o m excess of them. That the IN-T E L L I G E N T use of these things never does ha rm.

Another th ing we learn: If indis-posed. go at once to your good fam-ily physician, don't seek him as a last report, but as a very f i rs t and best aid in trouble. I t will pay you.

We know now that meats arc not "deadly poison" to the h u m a n or-ganism. To be a "vegetar ian" Is to be a faddist—and, all faddis ts arc pkating on thin ice. Nevertheless a finicky, evanescent public will do as It pleases, wi th my full consent.

One of my own very sa t i s fac tory conclusions Is. good common horse sense Is a qualif icat ion to be proud of.

ARLINGTON and the Bill of Rights

By ROBERT MERRILL

shall private prop--L ^ erty be taken for pub-

lic use, without just compen-sation."

That 's f rom the Bill of Rights, an important part of our federal Constitution.

On many occasions the Supreme court, acting as our National Um-pire, has been called upon to pro-tect citizens under the clause. Some-times it has saved citizens f rom los-ing their homes without being ade-quately compensatetl.

The most notable Instance in-volved Arlington, the home of Mrs, Robert E. Lee, wife of the Con-federa te general. Today it is the f amous national cemetery across t h e Potomac from Washington, where rest our soldier dead.

Union Takes Arlington.

Here Is the story—from the rec-ords of the court:

During the war betwen the states. Union forces took possession of Arlington, and the wife of the famed southern leader was forced to ret ire behind the Confederate lines.

In 1862. congress passed a bill en-titled, "An Act for the Collection of Direct Taxes in the Insurrection-ary Districts within the United Sta tes ." Under this measure com-missioners were appointed to levy and collect taxes and, in default of payment , to sell the property against which they were charged.

Various rules were draf ted by the appointed commissioners. One pro-vided that property taxes In the district including Arlington had to be paid by the owner in person.

On J a n u a r y II, 1884, taxes to the sum of $92.07 were due on the Lee estate . Since she was behind the Confederate lines, Mrs. Lee was un-able to appear personally to pay them. She sent an agent to m a k e the payment for her, but, because of the a rb i t r a ry rule, the money was refused.

Then the estate was sold to pay the taxes. The United States gov-ernment bid it in.

Confirms Lower Court.

Mrs. Rober t E. Lee died in 1872, and her son inherited the right to reclaim the estate. Asserting tha t the government claim to his boy-hood home was unjust , he petitioned congress to re turn It to h im. When that effort failed he instituted suit •ga ins t the officers in charge.

The lower court decided that the t ax sale was invalid, and, therefore, the United States had no rightful title to the property. But the depart-ment of just ice appealed. The case went to the Supreme court of the United States for a decision. I t af-firmed the lower court.

Referr ing in its opinion to the 5th Amendment of our Constitution—the Amendment which provides that: "No person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law nor shall pr ivate property be taken for public use without jus t compensation," the Supreme court said:

"If this Constitutional provision is a sufficient authority for the court to interfere to rescue a prisoner f rom the hands of those holding him under the asserted authority of the government, what reason is there that the same courts shall not give remedy to the citizen whose proper-ty has been seized without due proc-ess of law, and devoted to public use without just compensat ion?"

Lee Sells Home to U. 8.

Thus the Supreme court had up-held the Lee title—but while the government was in possession, it had converted part of the es ta te into the cemetery and buried thousands of soldiers and sailors there. An-other pa r t had been m a d e into a mi l i tary post. Lee, therefore, agreed to sell Arlington to the United States and the government acquired title a f te r " jus t compensation."

That was an outstanding case, but in other cases, too, the Supreme court has assured similar protection to men and women who appealed to it for justice.

On one occasion a citizen's prop-erty was taken by government offi-cers under the impression that the ground had been ceded to the Unit-ed States in an Indian t reaty. An appeal carr ied up to the Supreme court resulted in its restoration to the owner, even though the govern-ment had erected a garr ison and other buildings on i t

Declares Roy McDonald of St. Clair, vice president of the Mich-igan F a r m e r s ' Union, which Is urg-ing enac tmen t of the milk control bill: " F a r m e r s a r e on the verge of a s t r ike In Michigan."

Opposing the price-fixing plan a re the Nat ional Milk Producers association and the S t a t e Milk Producers association, whose offi-cials believe t h a t governmenta l t inker ing of the law of supply and demand would merely Increase prices, lower demand, and leave the producer no be t te r off t h a n he is today.

As this news le t te r pointed out f ive weeks ago, t h e agi ta t ion for m i n i m u m wages, m a x i m u m hours and o ther benef i t s to industr ial worke r s could not reach the point of a s t a t e s t a tu t e w i thou t a similar ag i ta t ion being s ta r ted among f a n n e r s fo r s t a t e regulat ion of f a r m prices. The ga te w a s opened wide t o such price-fixing when the United S ta tes sup reme court up-held a Virginia milk price control law, declar ing t ha t the s ta te possessed such powers in the in-teres t of public welfare .

Higher Prices

Set t lement of m a n y sit-down s t r ikes in Michigan w a s m a d e on the basis of h igher wages to workers , thus add ing to the spiral-Ing cost of products which the f a r m e r has to buy. a l though f a r m prices have not advanced to a cor-responding degree.

(Passage of the milk control bill would m e a n higher pr ices fo r con-s u m e r s by res t r ic t ing competi t ion among producers.

The legislature has a l ready pass-ed a t r ade m a r k bill giving the m a n u f a c t u r e r the r igh t to fix prices of goods to be sold in Mich-igan and penalizing re ta i le rs who undercu t these established pr lcea

I t is of In teres t to note t ha t leg-islative s teps to res t r ic t com-peti t ion In business inevitably lead to h igher prices for t h e consumer to pay. The N R A and i ts a t t empts to res t ra in competi t ion served to whe t t en the appet i te of Independ-ent re ta i lers for s imilar s t a t e regu-lation now aimed principally a t cha in s tore competi tors .

I t now appea r s a s if t he milk control board plan, stabilizing the dairy Industry in Michigan, is sought pr imar i ly by independent producers—"the l i t t le fellows"—as a m e a n s of lessening competition f rom the big producers, m a n y of whom a re organized nationally like chain s tore companies .

Michigan m a y have a dairy "AAA" in a few mon ths if t he milk price-fixing bill is enacted into law by the legislature.

Sale of l iquor by t h e glass in all communit ies , except ing t h o s e specifically voting aga jns t it, would be permit ted in Michigan under bill favored by t h e House liquor t r a f f i c commit tee . I t would set u p a $500 annua l l icense fee for t averns pellng beer, wine and liquor by the glass and would prohibi t sale of liquor to persons under 21.

Twenty per cent of the voters of any communi ty could Initiate re fe rendum on the question of sale by glass.

Since the days of King Louis XIV of France, who Imposed bone-dry prohibition on the French post a t St. Ignace. Michigan has been wrest l ing with the liquor problem. The solution is like a mirage; it is not what you thought It was going to be.

Hollywood and Detroit

When a foreigner comes to the United States, he usually visits New York, Hollywood and Detroit .

New York is the symbol of sky-scraper prosperi ty: Hollywood,

Amer ican movies, and Detroit, automobiles.

P . A. Menon, nat ive magis t ra te f rom India, visited Detroi t automo-bile fac tor ies last week and ob-served: "You a re In such a hur ry In Detroit . Your a re always rush Ing somewhere and when you ar-rive you h u r r y somewhere else. You never sit still long enough to enjoy life."

Magis t ra te Menon's visit to De troi t gives emphas i s to the invita-tion by the New York 1939 World 's Fa i r to have the Michigan legisla-t u r e appropr ia te funds fo r a Mich-igan s ta te exhibit .

Spend five minutes behind the wheel of a Buick and you*!! know why we

stress this great car 's sensational ability to get up and go.

There 's no more thrilling traveler any-where on the American highway, but that doesn't mean the whole story of Buick is told in its power.

We've matched the ablest straight-eight engine in the world—the Buick valve-in-head straight-eight e n g i n e - w i t h tiptoe hydraulic brakes that are soft as evening in their action and certain-sure.

We've given this staunch car a backbone that's like a keel of steel-there 's a close-to-earth feel to it that spells safety in any man's language.

You r ide in a body that puts steel all around you-steel roof, steel panels, steel doors, steel floor —all welded into one stout unit of beautiful protection.

There 's safety glass in all windows; there's No Draf t Ventilation to keep windshield f ree of inside fogging in wet and chilly weather; there's Knee-Action up front—not only for the t rue gliding ride but for the safe one.

Best of all—we've put ease Into every seat —you ride relaxed and restfully in arm-chair comfort—with controls that obey as surely and easily as pointing your finger.

If you're looking for a car that will get you gloriously where you want to go, safely as well as swiftly, five minutes at that wheel will show you that you can't do better than a Buick! See us now I

Jluurt Future Health

Children are subject to the many ailments caused by pressure on nerves. Bumps, falls and strains are all in-cluded In the dally routine of a child's existence. However, quite often these Jars and thumps create vertebral sub-luxations, which should be adjusted by a chiropractor, because of the spine and Its relation to health In the body. No parent, therefore, should fall to investigate the tre-mendous value of chiroprac-tic as a health service. Child's health Is the nation's wealth.

There were patches of grape hyacinths of adorable blue, sprink-led among tho daffodils and nar-cUsus. There was the primrose path, carefully followed which led down a hillside, covered with wild flowers, to Honey Creek which has a waterwheel In It to supply the garden with water.

Mrs. Votey said she had had some hard work. Once she planted some bulbs when she had to spade through two inches of frozen uuil, but was repaid for all her labor when one day recently she walked n the garden with Dr. Votey and

he said to her, "You have done well, my dear." And we know all the daffodils must have nodded their heads and repeated, "Yon have done well."

The cared for beauty of the hill-side over Honey Creek brought a enllzation of the natural beauties

of Lowell, its river banks and is-'ands.

I believe the recipe for happiness to be just enough money to pay the monthly bills you acquire, a little surplus to give you confidence, a little too much work each day, en-thusiasm for your work, a sub-stantial share of good health, a couple of real friends, and a wife and children to share life's beauty with you.

A Reader Likes Our Main-st.

A Ledger reader residing a few miles northeast of Lowell sends in the following for our "Along Main Street" column. The writer appar-ently likes our business houses and concludes her contribution with a timely suggestion regarding parking space for farmers:

You know I don't believe it Is the gas Vern Armstrong sells, but the great big smile that goes with it.

And you know. Girls. I don't see why you have let Garfield Ford run loose so long. Don't you think he Is mighty near perfect?

Say, if It Is good food, can you think of anything Richer, than a Richmond?

Three good drug stores, don't you think?

You know Harold Weekes. Well, he Is like one of our klnfolks, as was his dear old Daddy before him. He can say It—In dry goods.

You know Coons Clothing. Well, my husband bought a suit there, and was years wearing It out.

You know. Gee! we like little Jimmy, and well, we could not get along without Sam.

You k n o y if you want to meet a busy man. Just try to catch Ralph on the wing.

Do you know where our staff of life comes from? King Milling Co.. of course. Pure Gold, the flour that makes the dough.

Do you know Mrs. Scott, the candy maker? I think she is sweet. Better get acquainted.

You know Frank Gould? There is a man that always speaks.

Do you know Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Smith? You are used so good when you go there, you want to go again.

Of course, you know Harry Day. Some of us don't visit him as often as we would l i k ^ b u t we know he Is there just the same.

Well, you know "The Showboat Captain." Mr. Runciman. Some-times It takes a strong chair to

hold him. Ask him what happened up at Smyrna! Wonder If that man ever gets mad?

You know Lowell has a fine bunch of grocers. I can't mention them all. One that I know has a wife that Is a great help to him. I think of sunshine and roses every time I see her.

You know Mr. Roth—always the same even when you are not able to smile back.

These few I have met and there are more good business men on Maln-st., I know from the looks of the cars on everyday and Saturday. Well that reminds me.

But you know there Is one thing the Boys have overlooked—that Is parking space foi farmers when they come to town. I see Ionia has taken note of that fact, and the Editor of the Ledger has also call-ed attention to the matter.

Ladles First "My husband Is mean; he's taken

all the cash out of the baby's bank."

"Oh, my dear!" "And just when there was near-

ly enough for the new hat I want-ed."
