And, since the members of the Supreme court are not supermen but simply citizens trained in the law, they too differ on occasion. More frequently, however, than many persons realize, they are unanimous in their decisions. 16 Unanimous Decisions. On January 4, of the present year, for example, the Supreme court handed down 16 decisions. All were unanimous. Ot. February 1, it handed down 24 decision. Of these, 23 were unani- tionality of a law, and the Supreme court is asked to act as umpire, the chances for unanimity of opinion among the Justices are, of course, smaller. Students of government have re- cently computed (as this is written) that, during its century and a half of history, the Supreme court declared laws unconstitutional in approximately 73 such cases. In thirty of those cases the justices reached unanimous decisions. In 23 of them there were either one or two dissenting votes.

ERNEST 3, court Deny Powers to Court. Many of the unanimous decisions finding congressional acta unconstitutional involved rights of oitizens as well as fundamental principles of American government Several of them declared unconstitutional certain powers which legislation would have conferred upon the court itself. Others upheld the right of trial by Jury, the right of a citizen to refuse to testify against himself, the right to just compensation for property taken for public purposes, and the like. One declared that even an alien in United States territory cannot be denied the right to indictment and trial by Jury when charged with a criminal offense. Even when the decisions were unanimous, however, the court, under its own rulings, could not suggest legislation. It could only say that the legislation as enac.ed did not conform with the Constitution and, in the case of the citizen who made the particular appeal, interfered with constitutional guarantees. Court Cant Overrule Congress. This point was recently expressed in one opinion of the court which read in part as follows: It is sometimes said that the court assumes a power to overrule or control the action of the peoples representatives. This is a misconception. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land ordained and established by the people. All legislation must conform to the principles it lays down. When an act of congress is appropriately challenged in the courts as not conforming to the Constitutional mandate, the Judicial branch of the Government has only one duty to lay the Article of the Constitution which is invoked beside the statute which is challenged and to decide whether the latter squares with the former. All the court docs or can do, is to announce its considered judgment upon the question. The only power it has, if such it may be called, is the power of judgment. This court neither approves nor condemns any legislative policy. Its delicate and difficult office is tc ascertain and declare whether the legislation is in accordance with, or in contravention of, the provisions of the Constitution: and. having done that, its duty ends. examine a cross section cut from unit.

Storks Nests In Polsbd In the cities and on the farms of Poland great white hillocks swell from the eaves of the hut, cottage, palace and hotel. They are the nests of the stork which bring luck and prosperity to the households they favor, observes a writer in the Boston Globe. Poland, perhaps more than any other country of Europe, is the summer home of the stork. For centuries he has been the faithful harbinger of spring and, with huffiest. the herald of good fortune, lor equal centuries therefore he has been protected, coaxed and spoiled. In the nesting days peasants often build round solid platforms on the ridges of their roofs. These are lures Inviting the lanky birds to weave homes there for their babies. Ones such a nest is built it becomes the enduring talisman for a household's prosperity and peace. greater protection against skidding.

Yet one of the most promising new uses for glass is as a fiber. Dresses, neckties and other novel--, tics can be made of glass fiber. But the early large scale practical usage of glass textiles is foreseen in drapes for use in theaters, hotel tapestries, awnings that can not be iiurt by carelessly flung cigarettes and other such applications where real noninflammability is necessary. Just now glass fibers are finding widest application as insulating material both against heat and on electric wires and as a filtering material. A mat of glass fibers such as used in house walls or refrigerators weighs a mere hundredth of the volume of solid glass, 1 Va instead of 150 pounds per cubic foot. Csa Be Tied in Knots. If drawn sufficiently fine glass becomes flexible and can even be tied in knots. And the strength needed to pull glass apart increases as the fiber diameter is reduced, so that while typical strength of glass rods is 20,000 pounds per square inch, commercially produced fibers have gone as high as 2,000,000. Fibers as fine as 0.00005 inch in diameter have been produced. Continuous filaments have been drawn without a break for 5,040 miles. Color? The natural white suffices for most purposes now, but soon glass textiles, competing with cotton, wool and rayon, will emerge in all rainbow shades, with more permanency than we expect from other textiles. For several centuries glass has been made into fiber for special purposes. The Germans made glass fiber commercially during the World war when blockades cut off supplies of asbestos.
