--by Wordsworth of the simple, lowly theme and the natural, in science, Darwin, where "Origin of Species" was a radical departure from society's accepted views; and in exploration, Columbus, and in our own time, Commander Richard E. Byrd and his expedition to the south pole. These are only a small fraction.
It is the men of this mettle to whom the world owes progress and comfortable living; it is the great lead, the sheep who stray from the beaten path; the heretic, the radical, the "had" man, the "fool" all of whom "shape our ends," and breathe new hope and inspiration into our lives. This is a day of "pioneers" and because of them, a new day of progress and learning.

SUCCESS
Surging, excited throngs, muddy fields, broken ships, shattered records and many newspaper men—all these things met Pilots Robbins and Kelly when they landed at Kelly field after a sustained flight of nearly 172 hours. These men broke all records for sustained flight that were in existence and eveloped the mark for continuous flight set by the "Question Mark" by more than 22 hours. Their valiant attempt not only brings to America records that it will be difficult to break, but also puts aviation as a science another step forward. This trip proves that flying for long continuous periods will not only be possible but practicable; it sets a definite end which those interested in commercial aviation can point at. It proves that in periods of warfare it will be possible to mobilize by air in the period of a day without fear of mishap.
These men deserve credit not only for setting the record that they have but also for the personal risk that they have taken to set this mark. Going aloft with the knowledge that they were trying a second handnotor to the utmost and that the ship they were using was apt to be strained beyond its capacity, these men set out and accomplished a thing that weeks of preparation would not do for many people.
Is it fate that determines who are the winners and who the losers in a test of nerve and stamina? Lindbergh set out alone and with little advance preparation and was the first to make a flight across the sea, Kelly and Robbins set out in an old ship and break all existing endurance records. Nevertheless it will pave the road for experimentation that will send this country to the fore ranks in all aviation enterprise.
As long as old model "T" hangs together we feel no great need for one of these new-fangled electric vibrators.
WHY AIR RECORDS?
A great many people are no doubt wondering of what value a new endurance record in airplane flights is. On first view, it seems useless, and an extraordinary hazard of life and property. The layman admires the courage and daring of the brave men who risk their lives performing such feats, but depresses the great danger entailed; he only sees some looking for a thrill and some free publicity.
But such is not usually the case.
In the progress of human events, there are always those who must lead the way by risking their lives and fortunes. It is they who are the pioneers, and we find them in everything—art, literature, science, and in the less "cultured," but just as noble, fields of exploration. In art, the Remalaissance painter, who developed the fresco and "centered" picture, in place of the mosaic and "unbalanced" scene; in literature, the introduction

MR. TELEVOX
John Henry Televox, the mechanical man, took Mayor Jimmy Walker's place at the formal opening of the Seaside Hospital at New Dorp, S. I., the other day. All the mayor had to do was call Televox from his office in the City Hall.
A great future for the "iron man", for that is what he would have to be, can be seen in many lines of endeavor and especially in the college field. Take the case of a student who has had a heavy date the night before and therefore is not feeling in the mood of going to an 830 class. Good told Televox would be a friend in need. And the professor would probably never notice any lack of a face of intelligence on its face.
Then it, or he, could be used in lieu of a real man by persons who can not even bootleg any of the real stuff. Special custom built models could be put out for this purpose which would no doubt satisfy the desire for speed and would be as good, if not better, looking than a real one, and undoubtedly would not tire or become horse-skin.
There should be at least one in every home. It could proxy for one in church, business—but why think of it? There would be a catch somewhere.
To say that a man is up in the air doesn't mean the same thing that it did fifty years ago.
STRANGE FEARS
"A momentous and utterly infeasible change in the character of our government" In these words Representative Beck of Pennsylvania criticizes the plan of giving the president additional authority in raising and lowering import duties offered in the Republic tariff bill. The sacred powers of congress are being infringed upon, and the traditional restraint on the administration is being censured, according to the expressed fears of the congressman.
While it is undeniable that such a change, would necessarily accompany such a plan, it is difficult to view the prospect with the alarm that the good congressman has expressed. Rather, his fears should be hopes. Never more plainly than at the present time has the hopelessly cumbersome and obviously antedated relation between the executive and legislative branches of the national government been demonstrated. Impending deadlocks and repeated delays in attempts at farm relief legislation have brought this fact forbly home to the American people. Whether the proposed tariff bill is sound or cannot be asked at this time, but it takes no vast stretch of the imagination, nor extremely prolonged observation of government evolution, to realize that an extension of administrative power and authority, and a release of obsolete restraints, is essential to government efficiency, and is, sooner or later, inevitable.
The sooner that the American people realize that government, as an instrument of society, is an evolutionary process, and not a static body of out-worn and pseudo-sacred precedents and conventions, and the sooner that they cease looking advance at every progressive critis as a perpetrator of sarcage, the sooner will come the day of efficient and satisfactory national government.
Cornell Professor Denies That Drake First Brought the Potato to Europe
Ithaca, N. Y., Sir Francis A. the popularly gets credit for having brought the celebrated Irish potato to Europe and he even has a statue in his honor as distributor of the potato, erected by a grateful people. As a matter of fact it is extremely doubtful whether or not Sir Francis brought potatoes to Europe. Prof. Donald Reddick of Cornell University points out in the current issue of the Journal of Heredity. The statue itself, which is the only monument to the introducer of the potato, stands quite by accident in the small city of Offenbach, Baden, Germany.

This status is frequently mentioned to support the notion of Drake's having brought the potato to Europe. The inscription on it calls Drake the distributor or disseminator of the potato in Europe, according to Professor
GREATER AND BETTER RUMANIA
A monster pageant and military review at Albanijahi yesterday marked the tenth anniversary of connection with the tenth anniversary of the birth of Greater Rumania. The mental background for the celebration was that Rumania falls only a year ago, the anipies would have been far from cheerful. The Greater Rumania was then popular. A palace camarilla was in control of the government, perpetuating a Ministerial dynasty genuine and irrelevant. The Rumanian inhabitants of the "redeemed" provinces and the minority inhabitants of the interior recurrent peasant demonstrations on a vast scale seemed to carry with them the rebellion against the peasantry within bounds by the moderation of their followers. The news from Rumania with personal and racial life
As Others See It
The extraordinary chances which have come over the picture is best recorded in the change which has taken place in the country with the grimness of Transylvanians peasants to Albajuja. They used to be staged in procreate acts and performances, while Skydance's mass demonstration was one of luxury to the young King and to the new nationist. The collapse of the dictatorship was as complete as it was sudden. The steady pressure exerted by the peasant and reform elements has been more than one could have predicted. No doubt pressure from Western imperial powers thereby shattered the happy spectacle of a united nation, enclosed with a government sheerly bent on exploiting the peasantry presents

MESSING UP HISTORY
History has a hard time keeping her fillets properly placed and on straight. In a bulletin of "information" published in the newspaper country in America, founded in 1727 by Benjamin Franklin, which is the American Philosophical Society, we have learned that

This "information" does not agree with the facts of history. In the ross court from its organization down to date there is no mention of Edward Tighlman, as ever having been a justice; James Crawford was a justice; and while Charles Evans Hughes was a justice of the court he did not take over his chief justice. John Marshall was the fourth chief justice and William Howard Taft in turn the teenth to hold that

Reddick, and says: "the blessing to the millions of people who cultivate the precious gift of God contributes to the stinging penny of the poor a help against misery and misdeed," while the people of Offenbach had little to do with it and pointers are not grown in the vicinity to any extent, Professor Reddick
The statue was made by an Albanian sculptor, Andreas Friedrich, who first tried unsuccessfully to sell it to his native Yugoslavia, but it offended Italy at a very favorable price. In return for the statue the sculptor was made a citizen of the city and was given an bonarval. The only condition he imposed on the statue he chose to Strainbourg, where it was apparently done.
"The connection of Sir Francis Drake with the potato remains objectionable," he writes. "The potatoes first were found in Peru, Spanish ships which Drake captured may have had potatoes as well as precious metals. Reddick considers this improbable. The Stainarders were not accounted to have eaten potatoes until they it with them in any quantity. In fact potatotes did not become popular in Peru until the Revolution when they were practically forced on the people by a philanthropist, Parmentier, for whom potatoeating was held.

The contemporary accounts of Drake's voyages do not mention the potato, even when written by men who know it better. However the Drake legend persists. The statue helps to perpetuate a stereotype that all know all the details

Just as I'm fuelling a five-year grind, some statistician comes forward with the hope to prove that it is impossible for a deerment to wear-earning ability.

I thought the ultimate in silly advertising had been reached long ago, until I saw these recent Ronson movies. They were a lot cheaper, buying the new "lighter game."
As I, the senior, stride down the campus these days, it is often with a fear in my eye as I recall that behind those massive walls which surround me on all sides, there are no hours of our life have been passed.
And, frequently enough, I can find places where still more boring hours haven't been missed!
