STILL RECKLESS
And still they drive recklessly, carelessly, and thoughtlessly. Time after time of admonishing them has seemed to do little good. Like possessed fiends these car drivers still race across the campus drive, dodging both pedestrians and cars, in an attempt to break all speed records, although they obligingly slow up at corners so that they may at least round the curves on two wheels.
Pedestrians on the Hill follow few good rules of walking and when classes are over swarm into the street. It would be difficult for even a slow driver to pass through the crowd without some scraping of brakes, but for those who speed it seems to be almost impossible. The driver must be driven and how many people can be barely missed during one noon hour.
JUST ONE THING MORE
As a rule these reckless drivers have been fairly fortunate, but that can not be a rule forever. Someday, someone is going to be hurt and hurt badly.
The Kanan may have another bright idea for the University library before the year is up, but at least it wishes to present one bouquet, for the new lights in the reading room.
The cost of exira wattage won't be so very great. Surely the folks out home will be willing to add another fraction of a mill to save us from eye-strain. And now we are remembering all the reading we have to do within the next two weeks, we are grateful.
The number of headaches that have come from the upstairs main room will never be known. Aside from the fact that the uncustomized mental exercise and not-so-good ventilation are responsible for some of them, a number undoubtedly have been due to the poor lights. The indirect system of lighting is scientifically sound, if only it gives out enough light.
GREAT AMERICANS
After reading the adulations and praies which periodicals such as the American magazine are want to bepo upon the ushery of our land, it is refreshing to read the estimate which has just been made of Mr. John D. Rockefeller by William H. Allen, director of the Institute of Public Safety, in his book, "Rockefeller-Giant-Dwarf-Symbol."
Americans are too prone to give unqualified commendation to the man who has become famous through his ability to amass wealth. He is held up to youth as an example to be followed. His ability to seize the strategic moment, the concentration with which he has pursued his purpose, the abject self-denial of his younger days, and his moral characteristic of honesty, faithfulness and altruism are pointed to as the elements in his success and the traits of character toward which we should strive.
Mr. Allen in his book points out, however, that four of the reasons for Mr. Rockefeller's success are methods which not only are not condoned by accepted standards of business ethics, but are prohibited by law as well. It is also asserted that Rockefeller and his foundations have done very little to improve the participation of business in politics and that in the late
World War they did little or nothing to avert the struggle.
to avert the struggle.
Mr. Allen's book should do much to wake us from our worship of the man whose success is determined solely by his ability to amass wealth. Obviously a man whose riches were gained at the expense of others, and whose donations have done more in the way of bringing power to the downer than of benefiting society as a whole (as Mr. Allen charges), is not a safe model or the youth of America.
FROM THE SENIORS
Of the various class memorials that have been suggested as the senior gift to the University, the proposed servicemen seems to be good.
At the present time lanquets served on the second floor of the Union building tend to be delayed because of the cumbersomeness of bring food from the haemase. When this food is finally placed before the dinner it often is unavoidably apt to be cold.
This kind of service is unavailable under the present circumstances, but it does not make a pleasant impression on those who eat. When visitors make up a large part of the diners, at the Mother's Day banquet, it is particularly unfortunate that they should we thus inconvenienced.
Those in charge of banquets in the Union building do remarkably well in the circumstances, but they work under a tremendous handicap. If the seniors make possible a service ele-
hor, banquets will be served on time,
he food will be hot, and best of all
50c meal will not be served for a
dollar, in order to pay for extra help
YES? NO?
A certain Kansan editor gives us this new slant on the prohibition question. He told this story to illustrate his point.
A chemist took a glass of water and a glass of bootleg liquor. He put an ordinary garden worm in the glass of water. It thrived, it developed, it grew. He took the worm out of the water and put it in the liquor. Its growth stopped. It decayed, it deteriorated, it disseminated.
The moral is—well, we hate to think about the moral if we're expected to go on drinking water.
SOCIALIZED INDUSTRY
The present status of labor and capital would seem to make any discussion of socialized industry more, purposeless speculation. Labor in general seems to be getting along quite well at present, and perhaps is holding its own with capital. As long as labor maintain itself in a strongly centralized society, small man still indispensable to capital, small industry would not be productive of beneficial results as compared with the present system.
The whole objection to the present status of labor and capital, however, lies not in its present results, but in its essential instability. The attempt to maintain a power-balance between capital and 3 labor背acks back to the power balance theory of go rment, which dominated political thought in the eighteenth century, and is just as likely to lead to an absolutism of capital as the old political theory led to an absolutism in government.
We have no assurance of stability for the present organization. Such factors in the economic situation as the growing conservation of the Supreme Court
"they may at any time swing the balance in power in favor of capital. This becomes obvious when one considers how an injunction of Judge Parker rendered the coal miners in West Virginia powerless to deal with capital." Our industrial system must look toward a future where the interests of labor are inexactly bound up with the interests of capital, not where each side tries to balance its interests against the other. Some form of socialized industry would seem to be the inevitable solution to the present
he inevitable solution to the present power-balance status of capital and lain the afternoon for
SNIFF! SNIFF!
It's a sniff, sniff, sniff; now, and a sniff, sniff, then; a sniff, sniff, all the time; a sniff, sniff, all because some one person didn't use his hanky when he should to keep the "Spirit of Mr Cold" in the hanger.
Then, persons have watery eyes,
red noses, bad temples, flighty nerves,
high feverns, fretted moods and uncomfortable feelings. Then, persons have watery eyes,
Soon it is 50 sniffs, sniffs, everywhere
And there are coughs, coughs, sneezes,
sneezes, honks, honks, backs, hacks,
hacks, and more sniffs, sniffs, because
some were careless and let "Spirit of
Mr. Cold" pass on to unsuspecting
persons.
The "Spirit of Mr. Cold" likes to travel through the country and when he gets started, there is scarcely any means of stopping him. He keeps the doctors busy fixing up the persons with whom he comes in contact. If each person who senses the arrival of Mr. Cold would do his part then, no one would have a very big task and life would be more pleasant for all of us.
MENTAL HYGIENE MOVEMENT
The First International Congress for Mental Hygiene met last week in Washington, D.C. The concerted action so necessary to make the movement effective is coming slowly. Only 14 men were needed to start the movement, but to get the knowledge we have of mental and nervous diseases and their treatment into practice is a challenge to thousands. Publicity and education are needed.
Clifford Beers writes: "The two-fold purpose of the movement is to prevent nervous diseases and to care scientifically and humanly for the persons already ill in our hospitals, clinics, asylums or refuges." That is a large undertaking, when one considers the increasing prevalence of such disorders. All institutions are overcrowded and still they come in even greater numbers.
Our present highly organized society forces men to grow up faster and further than they are able to, and rejects their childish demands. These are apt to find an outlet in criminals of one sort or another. We must eckon it a definite fact that 50 or 75 cent. of our beggars, tramps, heaves and so on show serious payite abnormalities and that unstable persons need individual treatment adjusted to their needs". said Pred. Karl Mumford of Berlin at the meeting Doctor Thomas of the danger of the radio to individuals exposing themselves to so great a number of impressions. Such overstimulation, it is feared, will cause mental indigestion.
Habit clinics for little children of pre-school years was another suggestion for preventive measures. Misshapen personalities are a greater problem than iranity. For every mentally ill patient so病该了 that he is a menace to those about him, there are a hundred persons who are merely queer, unhappy and socially inefficient. The latter is often the condition that is pathological, or abnormal, and not the child himself, declared another speaker.
The conclusion of all this is that if mental hygiene is to be of practical value, it must be reduced to such terms that its general principles can be applied by intelligent physicians, nurses, parents and teachers. The most important social problem of mental hygiene in the future is to find a more satisfactory outlet for man than any we now have.
Paris—(UP) —The little town of Berry is alluring up in the family affairs of the B's. It all started with two daughters, who widowed with two daughters not hung upon, solved a squiggle among the three B brothers over the girls by snapping up the eldest of the three sisters. Two sisters have become mother. Two of the youngsters have a grandmother who also is their叔父. That good lady has an offspring who is his sister, and her in-law. Whereas her husband is his brother's father-in-law and the grandfather and uncle of their children. All those concerned seem, surmised enough, to be bearing up rather well.

Map Shows Lost Treasure
Helena, Mont. — (UIP) — The famous Sun River canyon may hold the secret of at least two buried treasures. A pioneer bandit sheriff, Henry Clark, and his loyal companion have large portion of the Wells Fargo Express company loot near his Sun River honeymoon cain. And now it appears that the company also have buried $140,000 in gold within a few miles of the canyon mouth. Conveyor Firkins of Fergus Falls, Minn., has been purporting to show the location of the lost treasure.

New Clues to Origin of Eskimo Race Again Sought by Scientific Expedition
Washington — (UP) — Two scientific expeditions are out from the Smithsonian Institution for Alaska, to seek the mysterious origins of mosquitoes and to pursue the quest for the mysteries first American immigrants. Dr. Alex Hrdlicka, who has measured mosquito populations both living and prehistoric types, is on route to the Kuskinow River in southwestern Alaska. He hopes to fill gaps in our understanding of diseases as to what the relation may have been between the Ekimos and other American tribes, and how they link these species.
The second expedition about to depart is conducted by Henry B. Collins, Jr., archaeologist at the Smithsonian, Mississippi department of archives and history. This expedition is heading for St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Strait, where it will explore four thousand villages a thousand years old or older.
"Until very recently it was not realized that the prehistoric Ekimos of Alaska were artistic and ambitious. Today they are more modern Ekimos in their attainments,"
Mr. Collins is out in outlining his plans. Lawrence Island was a strategic island of the Pacific, Arctic. Two previous years of digging have revealed three stages of Eskimo hunting. The first stage is the energy of the oldest known Eskimo eventually dwindled and degenerated.
"This year we hope to dig through the frozen soil into unprobed levels and so find out what led up to the Eskimo golden age."
The possibility of finding traces of far more ancient men, that is, some of the original immigrants who found them in Alaska, has another hope that sparks on the efforts of excavators in this Bering Strait region. Even if the earliest men entered America in inter-glacial times, they are still across to Alaska, all the clues of their passing might not be lost, for the islands and shores remaining above water might still hold some of their bones, Mr. Collins believes.

Why count your pennies if you throw them away?
Could I have bought the same article elsewhere for less?
Won't some other make prove more satisfactory?
Isn't there some other product that will suit me better?
Unless you can say "No" to these questions, about every purchase you make, there's a good chance that you are not getting the most for your money. To get the most from every dollar of the family income—for food, clothing, furnishings and the rest—you must know what you want before you go to buy.
