He was awarded a Master of Science from the University of Chicago, from the National Institute of Education, from the University of Iowa, from the Lawrence University, from the University of Pennsylvania, and briefly at Harvard University (1923, 1931). Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1927, at the old office at Lawyer, Kansas, attended Yale University. MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1931 IN SELF PRAISE The Daily Tar Heel, student publication of the University of North Carolina, recently made a survey of daily college papers, ranking the University Daily Kansan among the Class "A" papers. The basis for the selection was such points as make-up, style, news value, editorial policy, original feature matter, and mechanics. Eighteen other college papers were given the same ranking. They are the Publications at Columbia, Yale, Dartmouth, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Minnesota, Northwestern, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Stanford, and McGill. Divisions were also made according to those which printed world-wide news from press services, and those which followed fearless editorial policies. The past few years have brought a change in the college journalism from a mere part of the English department to a separate department of its own or even a school of journalism. Editors are now looking more than ever at the nature and college publications are growing in size and style, as evidenced by this classification. FOOTBALL FATALATIES There will undoubtedly be considerable agitation throughout the country when the rules committee convenes for regulation of football to prevent serious injuries as a $a^*$ result of this year's toll of 31 gridiron fatalities. The death of Cornelius Murphy, Fordham football star, has focused the attention of the sports loving public on the number of deaths attributable to the game, and aroused speculation as to what will be done to remedy the situation. An analysis of the circumstances reveals the fact that only four of the deaths occurred at major colleges, the remainder being at high schools and on sand lots where players frequently went without necessary protective garments or proper training and supervision. Coaches and players have pointed out that few players have been found to be even seriously injured in major college games. President Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern university, in reply to critics of football, recently declared that, in the 40 years he has been a faculty representative of the Western Conference, there has not been a single fatality or serious injury to any of the thousands who have played on the Big Ten teams. In spite of these reassurances, it seems certain that important steps will be taken to check the toll of football, and the probabilities are that the abolition of the flying wedge from kickoff and other mass plays will prove a step in the desired direction. A man in California is reported to have made a vehicle that runs entirely on compressed air. This may give us *u* use for the backseat drivers.

Channing Pollock, popular au thor and playwright, in a recent article urges the people of America to return to the simple life think more of culture, and let love be the rule of life to end the ill of our day. It is unlikely that any return to the "good old days"—which as a fact do not seem to have been so much better than our own—would ever cure the troubles of the modern world. This is a different age, with changed equipment for living, and another solution must be found as a remedy. People, at teast as far back as those whom Mr. Pollock would consider as living in the "good old days," have behaved in almost the same ways in every epoch. The physical accoutrements of their lives appear to be the only things that have changed. The solution of our troubles, it seems, must be found in a better adjustment of our machinery and physical surroundings instead of in drastic reformation of our imperfect selves. OUR COLLEGE SLANG Sorority housemothers at Northwestern were recently asked about drinking among the college women. Most of them denied that there was any drinking at all, and said if there was, it was done quietly. One housemother implied she had been sniffing, she had never smelled any liquor on the breath of any of her darlings. Furnace Blast Injures Man We are thinking of writing this housemother and telling her that perhaps at Northwestern, as at Kansas, "out for beer" does not necessarily mean "out for beer." It may mean just going out. It may mean going out with a cigarette. It may mean going out riding. And although we are not pleading the cause for the Northwestern co-eds, one must remember that "out for beer" does mean any number of different things—at least it does this year. However, one of the better informed chaperones did say, "I think the girls may go out to some places for beer occasionally, but there is nothing to complain of concerning the drinking problem." St. John—Raymond Budge lighted the fire in his gas furnace after it had gone out. Delayed combustion caused an explosion. The furnace door was closed. Budge opened the gas furnace. Budge on the head. Thirty tries were not easy to close the wounds. WITH THE HILL CLIMBERS We are always getting Gandhi and I after hearing that Gandhi is blessed with a one day, and then reading that Gandhi was ill, we immediately attribuited it to him. A caricature artist visited the Phi Delt house the other evening, and got to know the kids just how they impressed him. And now they knew—and the cardboard boys. Only the sonorous voice of the psychology professor broke through the stiffness of an early morning class. A student on the back row had dropped her phone and the desk she shifted and yawned. Suddenly the professor called on the sleeping student. No answer. He called again. The class tuttered. The late professor made a noise, calling for help, rubbing his eyes and demanding in a weak voice, "Where are I?" Texas and Democratic Party Rule in New House of Representatives Santa Claus is planning to appear at the Puff Paint Prom. Will the women duck him, paddle him, or cut his hair? He may be needed a hair cut and shave, Professor Ise says that the depression is a state of economic St. Vitus舞. We always thought it was a kind of paralysis, Washington, Dec. 7- (UP) -Texas and the Democrats have taken over the House of Representatives from Ohio and the Republicans. There was more than the change of control to many old-times, including the Texan who assumes the Speaker's role in Washington, especially Epp. John Nance Garner, the new Speaker, there arises the vision of the Speaker, Nicholas Long-winged of Ohio. Our Contemporaries America's span of human life is increasing. Life insurance companies have stated if in their statistics, giving as a reason the reduced mortality rate among infants. Now the census bureau says that the past midwife are living longer. Increased American Longevity --fighting—and there can be none of that from the chair. There was a prophetic "if we meet again, root in Longueville farwest and flee from the war zone close of the last congress. March 4 which was recalled to man who will be called a warrior." Besom Friends Of the total population of 122,775-946 persons in the United States last year 22.9 per cent comprised persons aged 65 years and over, with a total of 105,710,028; the percentage above forty-five years was 30.9. The 1920 census revealed that there were fewer babies than those years was 11,573,230, but this dropped in 1930 to 11,444,791, showing that while there were fewer births in the last decade, taking better 'aids' of their health. In 1930 there was in this country 1,913,190 persons seventy-five years of age and 1,467,704 that age. The group is the largest of any decade of the total life span, or 17,188,840. Those between the ages of forty-five and fifty-four are 12,607,690; 1018,083. We have 12,607,690 youngest between the ages of five and seven. The fiery, bravey and unpolluted Texan and the sunny dignified Ohioan Ted Williams have been between the self-made politician from the sage brush country and the wealthy and polished Longworth was one of their best rivals, so rare in politics. It was somehow proper, politics aside, that Garner won because of an important role his friend laid aside. The man who takes the rostrum to rule over a heterogeneous House in history is one of the greatest leaders in recent history an old-time combative Democrat of the Andrew Johnson House and radiates the atmosphere of the frontier which his stat still represents. First Texas' Speaker First Test Speaker He is to become the first speaker to become Speaker He is only the third speaker of 43 to come from west of the Mississippi and the first to come from the Another surprising thing is that there were only 344,749 grownups listed as students in 1920; but in 1930 there were 1,034,782. It is shown that we also have about a million and a half more men than women, bearing out the contention that a larger proportion of women between the sexes after a great war. But in the case with that of our Negro population, which totals 1,811,434 persons, there are almost 200,000 more females than make--Colombia, Missouri. It is rather fitting, historically, that it should be he who is at the helm when Democrites come back into management of the Home after 13 years. Carrier will look out of place in the Speaker's chair to members of the House and skilful floor general of the last few years. He is at his best when out no one doubles that he will run the House. It will be his orders that are carried out on the floor, as he looks at it. He will be handing with an iron hand when it was in the minority, and he will run it, similarly, now that it has the responsibility. There will be no revolts from insurrection, or at least it is almost unthink- Garner has come a long way to the Speakermaster, further than most of those who are still in school. He limited education growing up in a pioneer country, he took up the study of law and politics, then found himself in a political career as a member of the Texas state legislature. He remarked recently that he had a reputation there as a "harmonizer": This appears to suggest paradoxic fate, as his loyalty to lay and then bring conflicting elements together to carry it out is one of the chief factors in his success as a legislative leader. Skilled in Conference He is skilled in conference He is skilled in conference and militant in attack in the House. He in 1963 and has been here ever since, gradually making his way to the top of the change heap which is the headquarters of the Garrer. It is safe to predict that Garner will carry on the start made by Longworth in restoring to the House Speakership and having made an impression in the days of Thomas B. Reid, of Maine, and Joseph G. "Uncle Joe" Cannon of Illinois. He does not by any material change in the Speakership but by virtue of his personal command of his forces in the House. The Speaker-turned-office officer at an office but Garner will make it the vehicle of his personal power.

Advertising is her television. Advertising gives her complete advance information. Quietly, in a congenial corner of her home, she thinks and determines before she buys.

A regular reading of advertisements keeps shopping-tempers sweet. She has only this left to do. No worrying or hesitating when confronted by two jars, each equally inviting. No doubts about their makers. Advertisements have told her the invisible merits—given her clear true images of the contents of those jars, and the results of their use.
