Hanging of Diana: at Ephesns, the Grecian statue of | world, » : The Circus Maximus at Rome, orig- inally built in 605, B. C., was enlarged at various times until in the fourth century it was capable of holding 385,000 specta- tors. ee Another of the world’s largest amphi- theaters, the Coliseum at Rome, was the ‘scene of horrible atrocities, in which early Christians and others by the thousands were thrown into the arena to be killed by wild lions and tigers. The Appian Way, extending 360 miles southward from Rome, was built some 300 years before Christ, and was fhe finest highway of its time. = In Pisa is the famous leaning tower, built in 1154, which has threatened to tum- ble down for more than 600 years, but still stands, and recently plans for restoring it to its original upright position have been made. The Vatican at Rome, home of the Popes since 1377, was begun by the Em- peror Constantine in the fourth century. It is the largest residence in the world.

NATION ABOVE POLITICS Defense of American principles was described by Edward A. Hayes, National Commander of the American Legion, in an address here as something above politics. “Men who are of serious purpose will not be motivated by political consideration in their support of Constitutional -prin- ciples,” he said. “Neither will they be de- terred from defending the Constitution be- cause partisan polities seem to be involved. Upholding and defending the Constitution transcends politics. To be eligible to par- tisan membership one must first be an American citizen—if he would put his party above his country he is not worthy of the name American. “The generality of language contained in the Preamble to the Constitution has been the occasion for much divergence of opinion. But it seems that those who glibly assert the ‘flexibility’ of provisions, either forget or have never learned that the so- called Bill of Rights was added for the specific purpose, among others, of restrict- ing the meaning of general terms.” Among actor folk marriage is merely an intermission between love affairs. * Every dishonest man was once honest, until temptation got the better of him.
