The 158th anniversary of the signing of tiie Declaration, on last

new patriotism is born of the old.
The nation he recited, ia in the process of orderly change and development, and ia fm possession of the
great  potentialities  of  youth.
He directed attention to the salient facts set forth in the Preamble
to the Constitution, stressing these.
aa he enumerated them. Too few
people, he ventured, are familiar
'with "the ideals set forth in that I
Preamble; too few take time to reflect of "a more perfect union, to
establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for tiie common
defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves, and our posterity"

from Lakes to Gulf, and from At-
latic to Pacific."
Five poignant consideration, he
recited, enter into the picture of
the new patriotism. These he
enumerated aa life, faith, love,
youth and God. These, he said,
came from God. God gave Ufa,
he said, and Be intended that man
made in Hia image, should conserve
it. He alluded to the wanton toll
of human life through the medium
of the motor car, stressing that,
during the pest sixteen years, 326,-
000 had been killed, either outright or dying from injuries sustained. He reminded that an approximate 800,000 have lost their lives in
all wars la- which the nation waa
engaged. He sought to know what
"great principle" wae involved in
the enormous death rate of recent
years.
He touched of youth, stressing
that, based on authentic statistics,
2,200 rural schools of twenty-two
states cloaed doors one year ago,
depriving 3,000,000, under 16 years
ef ek-mentery training. He alluded to the feet that a nation ia no,
greater than schools of that nation.
He delved again into statistics to
demonstrate that, notwithstanding
tiie greatness of America, only half
of its population may be said to be
lactively identified with a Chrstian
denomination. Stressing love as
having come from God, the speaker
asserted the new patriotism of the
new org is intent on wiping out
social wrong and supplying a new
standard of measurement in which
things cultural and spiritual ahall
supplant the purely material. The'
new patriotism, he concluded, is
based on human rights primarily.

RESISTS CHESTNUT BLIGHT.
Additional evidence te support
the contention of Pennsylvania foresters that the chestnut tree is developing resistance to the deadly
chestnut blight has been cited by
professor George S. Perry of tha
Forest Research Institute, Mont
Alto.
In recent months discoveries have
been made in various parts of the
State by emergency conservation
workers engaged in taking a stock
survey of the State Forests of vigorous chestnut sprout growth entirely free of the barb disease cankers.
Ia the Tuscarora State Forest,
Perry county, and the Mont Alto
{State Forest, Franklin county,
thriving young chestnut trees four
inches in diameter, without a sign
of bark disease, have been found.
A surveying party in the Logan
State Forest in Huntingdon county
recently reported many chestnut
sprouts on Prong mountain from
ope inch to two inches in diameter,
asal 16 ta 20 feet tall, that were
without evidence of disease.
The fact that the chestnut ia a
vigorous sprouter, Professor Perry
gives aa the reason for its continued1 presence in the woodlands of
Pennsylvania despite the fungus
which yearly lolls back the young
shoots.
