WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1930 "SIDEWALK HOGS" One of the most common complaints on the campus nowadays is based on the traffic situation. It is a matter of general knowledge that a person is not any too safe on the street. Not only is this a problem of the streets, but also of the sidewalks. Between classes it is almost impossible to hurry to another building because of the students who persist in poking along. It is all right to go slowly, on the side of the walk and not down the center. The student who is in a hurry has a terrible time trying to pass those people. He does not like to be impolite and push them aside; neither does he like to bump into the person coming from the opposite direction. If he tries to pass on the right he oftentimes has to tramp on the grass, thereby wearing an ugly path along the walks. If the day is a rainy one, he has to walk briskly when he comes from the street. If he steps into the street, he is putting his life in danger because of the cars. All he can do is to stay behind and pray that these "sidewalk hogs" will soon go into a building. Not only are the pokers a big bother, but those people who persist in stopping in the middle of the walk to talk are equally as bad. Before long it will be necessary to install horns or onils on all the students. Perhaps a system of three-way sidewalks with the middle space for the hotte students would be beneficial. CLOSED DOORS One bank in Fort Scott that is attracting attention just now looks like any other bank with the exception of its closed doors. On these doors is tacked a sheet of white paper-an announcement of the fact that it is not open for business. On the sidewalk in front is a scroll painted in red."Honor Roll" stands in large bold letters where all who pass my read. These three names appear beneath:"Montee, Miller and McAfee." This bank stayed open over the first and second of May until salary checks had been deposited and all convertible 'paper changed into cash. At that time McAfee, the President, excused himself and has not rejoined his community. What it means for banks to close their doors is related in experience all form about the town. One woman tells that she gave $6,000, a life's savings, to McAfee to buy stocks for her; the money was kept. Another mentions the fact that he has worked all his lifetime and just last week retired to enjoy life. Now as an old man he will have to start anew with no business and no capital. Men and women on salaries have nothing with which to meet payments of rent and grocer's bills, though deposits had beer with which to cover them. Old people, members of McAfee's church, who placed confidence and trust in him, are destitute in Fort Scott today. WHAT NEXT Two Berlin detectives recently have invented steel shoes with ball-shaped soles for criminals. These cumbersome shoes are meant to take the place of handcuffs, now used on prisoners. Such shoes impede the progress of the wearer so much as to make it impossible for him to run away. The new shoes are more humane than handcuffs and will not hurt the weaver's feet the inventors say. For some criminals they may be the thing but there are other criminals nafer with their hands fattened as well. The value of the invention will be determined when we know whether it is sauter to have fears or hands loose. But after all, the safety of the public is more important than a trivial discussion of police methods. PLACARDS HAVE THEIR PLACE **BLACARDS HAVE 'THERE' FLACES.** Bulletin boards are placed on the walls of frequent places. Many are given space on the walls in buildings. The material on the boards is well read and should prove their worth. Yet numberless are the placards and posters seen "decorating" indoor hallways. They turn neat halls into lanes of card displays which remind students of the cluttered signs on the hallways. More pride should be shown in campus buildings and more respect for the right to use bulletin boards. The boards are open to all. The buildings are public property, paid for by all, and entitled to respect and decent treatment. MENTAL HYGIENE CONGRESS More than 40 counties are represented at the World Congress on Mental Hygiene which opened May 6 in Washington, D.C., with the avowed purpose of promoting world co-operation in the movement to reduce and prevent mental disease and to promote mental health. There are 50 countries co-cooperating in the Congress. Sixteen National mental hygiene societies, 20 state mental hygiene societies and 18 organizational organizations, are participating in the event. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes in whose home in New Haven the first mental hygiene society in the world was founded 22 years ago, and Clifford Beers, founder of the mental hygiene movement, spoke at the opening meeting. In a survey it is found that great progress has been made in Europe in the mental study of the criminal, especially in Germany, England and Norway. In Norway there are medical officers in all the prisons and practically all of them are psychiatrists trained in penology. Australia and New Zealand are forged ahead in the mental hygiene work with delinquents. On the other hand, certain situations in Europe fall short of generally accepted standards. For example, the institutional segregation and classification is not provided for the insure. In many of the countries practically no separation between befeeble-minded, insane and epileptics is made. The treatment and care of the mentally diseased and defective classes and the safeguarding of the mental health of the youth forms the basis of the 45 major subjects of discussion at the congress. More enlightened attitudes toward variant behavior, toward controlling such behavior are being sought. The body is seeking to prevent serious conflicts and failures by promoting visiting teacher work, child guidance clinics, and mental hygiene or colleges. When one considers the thousands who will benefit by the improved methods and enlightened understanding of the officers and caretakers, one appreciates the significance of such a World Congress. For countries will each make contributions in some special field. These demonstrated bent methods will be applied elsewhere and so with the growth of the movement will come more scientific methods for mental hygiene work. A Phillipsburg man was unable to get a warrant for a third until someone was found who could spell ukulele. Wonder how many quiz papers would be graded if professors insisted on all words being spelled correctly before "insuring a warrant."

The audience had to head the loading man of the "Rogue Son" had their highest expectations and then had to select the latest selections and encores made the audience as a whole the most catholically engaged. The program was -not entirely of The most beautiful group was his second, entirely of Schumann. Here he showed his greatest mellowness of tone and charming pianissimo effects. His performance was the prologue to "Pagliacci" by Leonevavilla, and was, incidentally, his only grand opera selection of the evening, but it showed volume and power, and resonance that made him a favorite opera as he is in the popular mind. popular pieces. After a loud ovation the artist began his program quietly with Gloria's "Caro Mio Ben" in which he showed impressive contrasts. In the same group was Handel's "Hear Me Ye Winds and Waves" which should have been used for lighter pieces which he song later. After the intermission we gave his groups of more popular numbers, and the interplay between the artist and the audience, composed mainly of students, was something new and refreshing on the concert stage. Among his selection were two numbers from the "Rogue Song," "Old Man River" and others requested. As an artist, he was called, now in the character of a sea captain, and again as a coy mule. At one time among the artists who played much that both artists and the audience were forced to take dime to hug together Stewart Wille, the accompanist assisted with one group of classical music students, who won the hearts of his audience.
