INVALIDS IN THE MAKING
You knew him in the classroom on the campus—a pleasant fellow interested in his work and those about him, but always a little worried, a little haggard looking. He has left school, they say, a physical wreck.
A common story in a large university. If a fellow gets a job, he is considered lucky and there follow long hours of work after classes are over, often late into the night. Studying is crammed into spare moments, sometimes in early morning hours when the head aches with fatigue.
Three meals a day—most students that, but it is sleep that is fought back night after night until one becomes accustomed to the lack of it and accepts a dull mind and body as a normal feeling. One day comes an unusual strain and the human mechanism, worn out from running at the limit of its power, breaks down.
It is a tragic experience for the student who has sacrificed the normal pleasures of college to fulfill an intense desire for an education. But is such an end necessary?
When spare moments are few there is a temptation to use them in "getting away" or in "drowning" one's troubles rather than in much needed rest. The grinding hours of study might be cut short for the benefit of a brighter mind tomorrow.
Health is valued too low by those who cannot see beyond the present years. If the struggle for an education results in the loss of health, it is not worth the price, but there are students who manage to keep both by carefully apportioning their time.
A Buffalo citizen tells the Reflex everything went Democratic except the seventh hell and the seventh district—Missouri Notes. We wonder if someone is trying to take a crack at Kansas.
LITTLE MAN, WHAT NEXT?
Wilhelm Furtwangt, leader of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor of the municipal opera there, has resigned his position. He gives as his reason that Hitler has seriously hampered him in his work by banning from Germany the music of Felix Mendelssohn, Karl Goldmark, and a number of other Jewish composers.
Because he proposed to give a concert using compositions by Mendelssohn and Goldmark, Werner Jannsen, an American conductor, was invited by Herr Hitler to leave Germany.
Of course there are no longer any Jewish composers or conductors in Germany, and the Wagnerian festival at Bayreuth was stopped by the resignation of Arturo Toscanelli as its director in protest of Hitler's attitude toward Jewish musicians.
Such a course of events looks anything but promising for the future of music in Germany, a land which has heretofore stood as
the head of the list of music loving people. And this because of the pettiness of one man who seems bent upon glorifying himself at the cost of culture, civilization, or anything that happens to come into his path?
Indications are that Mendelssohn's music will become quite popular in Germany since it will have to be bootlegged and, consequently, will be twice as intoxicating.
"FROM HIM THAT HATH SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY"
When a nation declares war, its man-power is drafed. No one denies that this conscription is essential to the purpose of waging war, no matter how violently he may be opposed to that purpose. But how about the conscription of capital?
A poor man is drafted. He risks everything, for his sole source of income, and that of his dependents, lies in his own brains and brawn. He may return a helpless cripple, if he returns at all—himself and his family the charges of a none-too-generous government. A rich man is drafted. The chances are, he can use his influence to evade the draft. But if he goes to war he leaves his family provided for. And he knows that his place in the world will
that his place in the world will still be the same, comfortable and secure, if he returns.
Do the two cases indicate any justice in the schemes we use—one o m a n risking everything because he has not so much to risk?
Everyone realizes, nowadays, that it is the moneyed class which profits from war. Protecting capital invested abroad and loans to foreign industries, helping business in their exploitation of foreign resources, maintaining monopolies—these are the activities which necessitate war. The common man may think he is fighting for God and country. But the men who start wars know that he is fighting to keep up their incomes.
Why not let those who start wars provide the money to keep them going? Is conscription of capital, to protect the interests of private business, half as insane as the conscription of man-power for that purpose? And yet, it is the safest kind of bet, that if the government attempted to draft big incomes and capital for a war, those who hoped to profit by that
war would be the very first to howl.
ANOTHER FEATHER IN THE LEAGUE'S CAP
The League of Nations has been in existence now for more than a decade and has been the butt of innumerable jokes. It has heretofore been considered weak and ineffectual in achieving the purpose for which it was established—the preservation of international peace. Although it was the brain child of the late President Wilson, the United States has persistently refused to become a member of it. Not only has she held aloof from it but she has looked upon it with contempt from the day of its origin.
A week or so ago, however, the League effectively negotiated a peaceful agreement between France and Germany in their dispute over the Saar basin. The world began to take notice. Perhaps the League of Nations could be of some practical use to that chip-carrying conglomeration of governments which comprise Europe, after all.
Then came the bitter dispute between Jugo-Slavia and Hungary, a dispute which was fast rolling up the war clouds in Central Europe. Something had to be done to relieve the unbeatable strain. Again the League went into conference and again it came out with a plan. The quarrelling nations accepted it, joyously or otherwise. The peace of Europe has been preserved again, for how long no one can tell, but perhaps long enough
peace of Europe has been preserved again, for how long no one knows. It remains long enough for the League to put another feather in its cap.

When Lewleyll John Bond departed from his home Saturday night to attend the Butler County University of Kansas alumni dinner, his young son Bobby asked him to bring home three auto-robots that would be a distance runner. "Why three?" asked Mr. Bond. And Bobby biblely explained. "One for Betty, one for myself—and I've already sold one."Jessie Perry Stratford in Eldorado Times.

W. A. Dill told us about the Big-Six track at Lincoln last year. A young Western Union messenger boy heard that Glenn Cunningham was present and he ran straight for the press box which he entered gasping and screaming: "Hey! Gimme some paper quick. I gotta get Glenn Cunningham's biography."
A book dealer reports that a student came into his place the other day and asked for Edna St. Vincent Millay's "Grape-Juice." Or as we would say back home: "Juice From These Hyar Concorda."

The National Institute of Public Affairs is pioneering a new era for youth in governmental and political fields through the establishment of the internship plan. The plan offered selected students an intensive training in the human elements of government and politics. The winners of appointments to the institution's laboratory at Washington, D.C., will be instructed by a staff of outstanding social scientists from a long period, and will each serve as an apprentice to a governmental official.
At first glance it may appear inconsequent that only four candidates will be selected from Oregon to vie for ap- tention. In practice the definite recognition of the ability of youth. It is a movement designed to train young men to completely face and solve the constantly changing governmen- tial environment, but short, progressive step toward the preparatifon American youth for practical governmental administration. The internships are opportunities which should not find closed doors at
