OUR FEEBLE YOUTH
A Scotchman, viewing American life through a microscope, expressed the opinion that college and university students in this country, lack "mental muscle." He believes that young Americans do not take life seriously enough and that they attach more importance to a diliberous dance and rowdy game than to studious academic interests. The United States, he thinks, needs a sturdy "he-man" generation of youths to carry on the vigorous standards it is now setting.
All of which is probably true and certainly encouraging. There is too much stress laid today on the "business-like" attitude that should be assumed the moment education begins. From the cradle upwards, the child is taught that he must "be his age;" which is calculated far beyond his actual years. Childhood and play is frowned upon as being almost beverey and excommunication is thought to be an effective means of "whipping him in to line"; childhood is a disease, play its surrest symptom, and immediate burdens, the anti-toxin.
Youth is a playtime: It is a time for the accumulation of experience, association and development. It is a university itself, a diploma from which entitles the holder to participation in the economic and social conflicts of life. It is a time of preparation, so that when the novice has spent his youthful ardour in pursuing fancies and briabcraft notions, he will have a clear, intelligent view of his Liliputian drama: the life ahead he can meet with energy and decision. It is not that hard work and responsibility are not valuable; they are. But the capacity for leadership, industry and activity is broadened when preceded with an intensive drilling in association and experience. And they are rendered more assimilable and productive by, through, and in play.

"I'm a Republican, and I don't want a thing to do with the Democrats. They're a bunch of liars and horse thieves." So saying, the "good" Republican Kansas farmer, seeking relief from an economic depression walked off to the polls last November and helped place in office a Republican regime pledged to secure him aid and prosperity.
Fundamentally, the two parties differ principally in name. Certainly their platforms are similar, the greatest variation being on the tariff question, which has now overhadowed all thought of the issue so pertinent to this part of the country—farm relief. In changes in the tariff rates, which should be lower than higher on the already highly taxed commodities, Congress can aid the farmer. As was aptly proptied in a cartoon the other day, the tarIFF is out of proportion, with the farmer seated on the lower case and industry on the capital letters. If the unor-
ganicized condition of the farmer fails to bring him the first-tried remedy, he might find an exponent in the automobile industry. Finding that this country had been saturated with motor cars, Raskoh, the Chevrolet man, aligned himself with the Democrats during the recent election. A recognition of the fundamental economics of international trade lies behind this coalition. Lower tariff rates would increase foreigners' ability to buy from this country, as well as to pay their debts to us, thus bettering the market for automobiles.
Changes in the tariff should not be radical, but generally should tend toward lower rates on manufactured products and higher rates on agricultural products, so as to bring about an equalization of income between industry and agriculture. Therein will the farmer find relief and prosperity.
ANOTHER VIEW
The students of the Greenbein floating university tour have gained unexpected support from one of the members of their faculty in their rebellion against the mismanagement of the tour. The new recruit has said that the students' grievances are essentially justified and are reflected in the attitude of most of the faculty, that President Greenbein's conduct has been unqualified, and that the only reason the cruise has not fallen to pieces sooner has been the splendid behavior of the students.
Opposing charges would seem to be that while in Europe the cruise was in charge of the International Student's Hospitality Association and that the mutes' grievances are due o their impatience with the low standards of living of poor European students. The American students surely did not expect a 'de luxe trip' as they are charged, but they rightfully expected housing conditions at least comparable to average American ones. As for leaving some members of the tour along the way on account of illness, and refusing to pay attention to aiding them in rejoining the tour, no excuses can be made by President Greenbleth. The charges that students wanted a pleasure trip would seem to be refuted by those who hold as one of their chief outrages on the tour the fact that no provision was made for systematic study. It would appear that at last even supposedly higher educational projects have entered the realm of private proffering for their officials.
A DAY OF GRACE
For years the University students have deplored the scarcity of time allowed for preparation for finals. Heretofore, classes ceased one day and immediately the next day at 8:30 finals began. Usually a quiz over a four hour course came the very first day.
This year through a kind twist of fate—that of having a national holiday intervene—students will have a long long glorious day to prepare for the finals. Nothing to do all day but to refresh lagging memories, and incidentally, in some cases, to do the first real studying of the semester. Kansas City will beckon a welcome to her shows and countless entertainments, the Kaw may be particularly inviting for an all day excursion, the woods and shaded retreat may suggest all day hikes and roasted steak, but the students will turn deaf ears to all the pleasures which would lure them away from this one priviledge of day of grace, the chance to study for finals. But on second thought, will they take advantage of this day of grace and go to the first day of finals really prepared?
The rising temperature of the last few days, has made this business of drowning one's sorrows in Potter's Lake a more enjoyable pursuit. It would be an interesting scientific project to issue questionnaires to those indulging, with a view to ascertaining how many F students are attempting to rid themselves of the depressing hours ahead by such a method.

The committee on recent economic changes of the president's conference in unemployment today made its report after fourteen months consideration of the seven fat years, 1923-1929. Herbert Hoover, now president, but it the beginning of the research, secretary of commerce, headed the committee. Other members of the committee were Walter F. Brown, Renick N. Dumpl, William Green, Julius Eklein, John S. Lawroon.

Now comes the question for this and that are macronally applicable to be broken. Deadlines for invitations, cepes and menus and everything else are set at random; and then the makers as nonchalantly announce that the deadline is reached.
The theory, of course, is that announcement of a deadline scores people into action; but on the Hill deadlines have been so often extended that they have thinned into nothing. No one believes that the makers of voices least of all.
It has become so that Inner spirits a derivative tongue into his cheek every time he sees the word "deadline" in a Kansas story. He is taken to a newsroom, the announcement, "You know you don't mean it, and everybody knows you know it." But that isn't polite, so the old puns are used. Inside the newsroom, the public because once in a while a deadline is enforced; the amounts of newsicles because we no longer believe them and all wait for the "deadline" is long past to take action.

GOING UP!
The treemounted heights of those buildings may be appreciated when it remembers how the building, but 556 feet high and the Eiffel Tower but 987 feet. Heights alone, however, is no fair comparison to the Woolworth building contains 13,200 cubic feet, the Epicuate building in New York weighing 14,600 cubic feet, whereas the Merchandise Mart, now being built in Chicago, although only thirty-four feet tall, still occupies one full cubic feet. This new seventy-five-city building for Chicago will, it is planned, measure 65,000 square feet.
America's alleged propensity for large things may seem to come to have reached its limit with the amusement park of Chicago. This treemount structure, planned to raise $80 feet above the street level, promises to be not only a thrilling experience but indeed the largest. For many years the record for height has been held by the Woodward building in Chicago, which is home to fifty-eight stories. The Chrysler building, now under construction in the same city, will be $80 feet tall and will have the same roof as the Chrysler building had been under construction but a few days when the Bank of Manhattan building was announced it could feet high with 439
It is progesterone to believe that structures such as these are built for their advertising value alone, but their economic worth cannot be used in that way. They would not be erected unless there existed good economic reasons for it, and the economical, then how high is the limit of economic return on the investment? This is a subject that has been raised by many building experts. Among architects and structural engineers the eighty-five-story building is most economically valuable, the maximum economic height . . .

Fooring into the structure of business, labor, and consumption today, the exporter were able to expand their operations in fundamentals, nothing basically new. But the machine of American economic life has changed and methods and principles developed in previous years have achieved new importance that will be of great importance.
The committee was struck by the outpouring of energy which piled up akyrapers in scores of cities; kunit rails were laid between miles of airways; moved each year over railways and waterways more than a billion and 300 million highways with 25,000 motor cars; carried electricity to 17,000 landmasses; sent each year 150,000 people; 400,000 young men and women to college; and fed, cloth housed and amused the 120,000,000 women and children of the inhabitable area of the earth.

Although the last seven years have been one of intense activity, the committee noted that this activity was well summarized the finding as follows:
"While rayon manufacturers have worked at top speed, cotton mills have been on part time, while the wool and silk industries have also traded, and the fur business have been active, there has been depression in the wool industry, and the wool industry has been prosperous, grain growers have been depressed.煤矿 mining have been in difficulty, and shallow wells have been under grave economic pressure. Progress has been made toward more stable levels of production yet technological unemployment, resulting from the displacement of workers by improved machinery and methods, has attracted

The primary focus here seems and shelter concern the American people less and less, the "high cost of living," and the committee finds that "we wear less clothing, more rays and silks, less cotton and wool." That leisure in "communalities" has reflected in the increased interest in the effect of higher wages, shorter hours and new appetites has been reflected in the increased interest in the more reading and more education. The committee also found a great growth in the "mass service" industries such as libraries, delicatessen, laundries, libraries, etc.,
"To maintain the dynamic equilibrium of recent years is, indeed, a problem of leadership which more an adaptive and control," the committee declared. "Research and study, the orderly classification of the economic system, and skill, well may make complete control of the economic system a possibility. The problems are many and the success in recent years inspires us with high hopes."
