The Constitution is a Human Document If we Americans could get over our national habit of speaking only in reverent whispers whenever the Constitution Constitu-tion is mentioned, we might be able to approach our political problems more realistically and sensibly. We have been discussing the Constitution lately, and we have been calling on the shades of the great presidents in our history to witness that this document is a sacred thing not to be spoken of lightly or approached without the most profound awe. It might therefore be good to have a look at the way some of the great presidents behaved when circumstances compiled them to walk up and lay hands on the Constitution. Henry V. Lawrence, professor of history and political science at Connecticut College, recently wrote a summary of the way Abraham Lincoln got the 13th amendment into t he Constitution. This was the amendment that forever outlawed chattel slavery. Lincoln started it through during the Civil war. There were at that time .5 states in the American Union, including those which were then enrolled in the Southern Confederacy. Approval of 27 states was necessary if the amendment were to be approved. How did Lincoln accomplish his end? By laying aside all his reverence for the sacred document, taking off his gloves, and playing the ancient game of Hlities for all it was worth. The simple fact was that there were not, at that moment. 27 states which could be counted on to approve the amendment. amend-ment. So the military governors of those seceding1 states which had been occupied by federal armies were put to work. They applied pressure at the points of their soldiers' bayonets, bayo-nets, and from these still unreconstructed states came the ratifications Lincoln needed. Lincoln had another trick in his wallet. He had the territory ter-ritory of Nevada admitted as-a state so that it could vote for ratification. Nevada had an absurdly small population, and getting Congress to approve its admission was a tough job so tough that Lincoln, needing every vote he could get. finally authorized the assistant secretary of war, Charles A. Dana, to go to three Democratic congressmen and promise j them anything they wanted if they would vote for the ' measure. As Professor I'ivvrence worked. The three congressmen named the appointments j thpv v;intpd. Lincoln okavd tecl'to the Union.

In 1864, he was ordered or-dered to move on Atlanta. Thus began Sherman's famous 1000-mile sweep through the Carolinas and Georgia, despite the courageous defense of the retreating retreat-ing Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. Gen. John B. Hood replaced Johnston in the defense of Atlanta, but the Union invaders were indomitable. Sherman then undertook the destructive trek of 300 miles to Savannah that today is praised by some and deplored by others. Sherman remained in the army after the war, became highest in command under President Grant, and retired in 1884. He died in 1891, at the age of 71.

S. KLEIN I tor. Trained Eels BV X REPORTER "If a drop of water could be magnified to the size of the earth, the molecules composing it would be the size of baseballs." Thus spake my lanky high sophomore (who is always coming com-ing home from school with some .statement or other he hopes will stir up an after-dinner debate). That statement led on to the revelation that each one of the baseballs in this magnified drop of water would be composed of three globular objects, racing around each other at great speed two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. And each globular atom would be composed of 'a tangled mass of imaginary units somewhat resembling re-sembling angleworms or eels, which would be chasing each other around and around eternally etern-ally at a pace resembling the speed of light. Those would be the electrons. There'd be a pio-ton pio-ton ui there somewhere underneath under-neath the eels. The proton would have to be moving, too, since there is no place for in- I activity in the wondrous system of perpetual motion mat. manes up our universe. Thcie'd be a lot more of the eels whizzing aiound the proton at the center ol the oxygen atom than in the hydrogen atom, but we'd better not go into that here for feat of complicating things. Now let's reduce our earth lull l,,t luiueli-iiu marbles a mrleworms and eels back to the size of a drop of water again. Here it is. then, just a plain drop of water. Now imagine to do anything with one ot those super-reduced eels. Trying to train it to do tiicks. for instance. Silly to even think about it. isn't it? An electron weighs 1-1 S4 5 of a hydrogen atom, and a hydrogen atom weighs .000000000000000000000001b62 of a giam. Twenty-four ciphers, count 'em. You may be wondering why it was necessary to bring all this up. Here's the answei : United Pi ess says. "General Electric scientists working in research laboratories aie 'training electrons elec-trons to serve man.' In fact, the scientists say the electron promises prom-ises to be the 'greatest and most powerful servant, that man has." Isn't it great to be alive right now.

She said to the old servant in the middle mid-dle of the afternoon, "Go rest yourself, Althy, and let me do ihe Ironing!" "No, m'am," came the reply. I's perticuler 'bout my ironin'. You go take a nap." But Kate was not sleepy, in spite of the fact that she and her sister had risen quietly at 9 and driven home before the rest of the house-party was awake. At this moment a commotion among the fowls in the yard sent Althy hurrying outdoors, and Kate took up the iron to finish a haK-ironed haK-ironed sheet. Kate, as she worked, thought of the electric rron and sweeper and refrigerator that had been theirs at Meed Meadows. Those things that had lightened their housework. Caroline came into the kitchen in kimono and bedroom slippers, Caroline's face was flushed from her nap. "Hello, Kate honey. Let me help you? Where's Althy?" Kate said, "No help. Just sit.

We were all presented to her, and when she heard my name she began be-gan to talk about Meed Meadows. It seems she used to visit there when she was young. Before the Civil War can you imagine that? Well, she wanted to know if the family'd ever recovered the tea service, and when I asked her what tea service, she said, 'Why, the big sterling silver one they used for General LaFayette, of course!' " "gOSH!" Kate remarked, nursing nurs-ing a burn on her palm. "She's dreaming. If there'd been anything like that in the family, we'd have known about it " "Maybe not," Caroline said. "Old Mrs. Chenault seemed to be clear about it in her mind. She said the Meeds buried it during the Civil War, and when they went to look for it afterward, they couldn't find it. She said Mrs. Crutcher Meed that's Grandad's mother was so sensitive over losing los-ing it that she never would let anyone talk about it afterward." "You mean," asked Kate slowlv.

"1 thought I told Zeke to keep his mouth shut about that dream. I'd like -to whack his black hide for him! That silver's gone forever." Caroline interrupted hastily, "Zeke didn't do it, Gran'dad. It was I. It's just a coincidence. I've been telling Kato the story old Mrs. Dodd Chenault told me last night at the party. She's Cynthia's great-great aunt, you know; from Lexington. Well, it seems she used to visit at Meed Meadows when she was young, and she was recalling re-calling a big silver tea service that was used for LaFayette. She said it was buried for safe keeping during the Civil War and never found again. Kate and I would like to know if it's true." "It's true," Major Meed replied, "but I'm right sorry it's come up. inings liKe that just prey on the mind and do no good. I reckon it was intended for that silver to stay under ground. My mother had every tree in the back yard and orchard dug around, but never a sign of it." "Why didn't she know where it was buried?" Kate demanded. "Well." said Major Meed, it was this way. Ma had a sick child to tend. My father was off at war and most of the slaves had left. One day one August morning, morn-ing, it happened she heard a : raiding party was coming through, so she wrapped the silver in some old velvety curtains arid told Pompey, the butler, to bury it quick. She pointed out a spade to him in the flower-bed and told him to bury the stuff under a tree either in the back yard or orchard 'Dig deep,' she said, 'and put the sod back carefully!' She went upstairs up-stairs then to see the sick child and that's the last she thought of it for a month, for little John died of typhoid, and she just gave herself her-self up to her grief. Pompey himself him-self left the day the soldiers came through. He just laid down some pans he way scouring, they said, took off his apron and walked off with the troops. But they dont think he ever betrayed the family about the silver. He was honest and loyal. Pompey's only fault was being lazy . , The girls listened to toelr grandfather grand-father intently.
