TO COUNTRY EDITORS
A University student turned to one of the Kansas editor guests at the recent gridiron banquet and asked, "Who in biannuum blank wants to be a Kansas editor?" It was not until after the banquet that the editor succeeded in cornering another guest and in expressing his own views of the matter. The editor had worked for several years on a large daily city and had been able to save fifty dollars. Becoming tired of the routine of a big daily he decided to invest his capital in a country paper. He went in debt, but today—this reads like an Algerian story—he owns the paper, has a comfortable home, a fine car and no inconsiderable savings. But of all he is happier than he has ever before in his life—according to his own statement. In his day's work he has time to think and express his thoughts as he believes they should be expressed; he is busy, but he has no spiiritism grinding to do; he has sufficient variety in his work to make it more interesting than following a "beat" or sitting all day at a copy desk; he has a "position" in his community, and his family is looked upon with respect. He is getting more fun out of life, and believes he is now justified for having moved to a small town.
His life may be an unusually happy example, but there are other such examples among Kansas editors. Financial success, national prominence and productive lives can be attributed to several men who have been or are connected in one way or another with comparatively small town newspapers. William Allen White, Ed Howe, Charles Scott, Henry Allen and Arthur Capper are all refutations of the belief that it is necessary for the budding journalist to go to a big daily in order to make good in the newspaper world and to enjoy living. The question, of course, remains whether these men would have risen to greater heights if they had spent their lives working on metropolitan dailies, but it is more probable that they would have been submerged into the mass of medicity by exact routine.
EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United States, in a recent address before his college fraternity convention, voiced the opinion that extra curricular activities are carried to great extremes in the schools and that they waste a great deal of time and money. The chief justice believes that "the war played with have with a great many conceptions and we haven't gotten over it yet." He also regrets the minute of scholastic opportunities as practiced by many students today.
The benefit derived from extra curricular activities is open to debate, but when a man of the experience and ability of Chief Justice Taft voices a contrary opinion people are inclined to listen. Some of the most outstanding objections raised against these activities are that the regular curriculum school work is overlocked, that the expenditures involved are excessive, that eliques tend to develop, and that the same crew of students belong to all the activities leaving more timid souls with no opportunity to belong. Then again, advocates of extra curricular activities argue that the activities tend to develop leadership, citizenship, and efficiency. The question may never be satisfactorily settled, but too often it has been observed that popularity, gleamed from wealth, athletic prowess or what not, very frequently is considered above real capacity and ability in choosing a leader in any activity from a national honor society to living a cornerstone.
REAPPORTIONMENT
The senate is gradually taking from the house the reputation of going to extreme means to hinder the progress of legislation. The senate has set a tradition of being the hard working coincidental, deep thinking body in our legislative system. During the last few years it has been the seat of many political battles. In the present session it is the upper body that is getting the publicity for its determined efforts to block farm relief by including the debenture plan.
War again broke out when the joint senate and house reapportionment bill was presented. The need for this legislation has existed for a decade but it is continually fought by those states which will lose representatives. Thus sectional strife is being placed before national interests. Every effort is being made to block the measure. First an effort to side track the bill failed. Then Senator Harrison of Mississippi criticized the senate because it was not conforming to precedence in trying to institute such a bill. Though the legislation has been before congress for a decade it was denounced because of the haste with which it was prepared. Failing thus far to stop the measure the senators have some amendments to add to the bill to kill its purpose. But despite the opposition, it seems that sectional interests will give way to a new reapportionment bill.
ALPHABET REFORM IN TURKEY
The atmosphere of perfect praise which has until now marked the adoption of the alphabet reform in Turkey is being badly disturbed by the conditions of the newspapers and magazines in that country.
Newspapers have been forced into bankruptcy and magazines have been put out of business due to the lightning-like fall in circulations since the change from the old to the new ABCs'. Magazines with 30,000 circulation before the change have dropped to 500 and consequently forced to quit.
The government has taught a million and a half persons the new ABC's but these are not all readers of the papers by any means. Government subsidy seems to be the only hope of keeping the papers going and thus keep the alphabet reform from falling. The reform is a great step forward but can also be an instrument for intellectual destruction unless help arrives from some source.
"You can go plumb to hell--that's my business," was General Dawes' answer to an inquiry as to whether he was taking along to London a supply of silk knickers which are worn by diplomats at King George's functions.
UNDIPLOMATIC DAWES
That is an undiplomatic answer but one that is easy to understand and very characteristic of Hell's Maria. The general is noted for his straightforward and unconventional answers. He is to be remembered by his actions four years ago when he told the Senate where to head in.
Whether or not he will shock the English court remains to be seen. He has already been complimented by Nancy Astor for his refusal to accept and invitation to a London house party, giving as an excuse that he could not make any important engagements before arriving in London.
Scientist Conceives Runaway Nebula May Give Clue to Universe Structure

THE VOYAGE OF THE GRAF ZEPPELIN
1/4
A great airship turned back on a trans-Atlantic flight by a broken crankshaft, and it jumped to limp home, fighting against disaster — this spectacle is not to inspire faith in the dripple. If the Graf Zeppelin's ship which overtook it and took it and landed, fortunate as it was outreached, near Toulon would be easier to explain. But then Built to suit the world the possible ability of regular commercial traffic over long distances, it had traveled many miles earlier. The disturbing reality will bring back to mind the disturbing features of the Graf Zeppelin's trip to America last fall. That舵 equipped with an unconventional trip, and in some stages risky. When its commander returned with it to Germany he was and was admitted from France that it was unfit to face Atlantic storms.
No one doubts the future of the airplane; but a succession of miraclevents and disasters show that the future of the airship is still unpredictable. Its current course may be the tragic fate the Shandongland in the United States and the French airship Diximale. Its supporters can be of course point of view, and it has been vague during the war, the trans-Atlantic round trip by the British just afterward, the trip over the North Pole and the ocean around Antarctica, but no question can be that the dirigible still seems subject to grave limitations. The fight, despite repeated discouragements, will not be graved up, and the flight would before and after the end of the summer the great new British airship R-100 is expected to visit the United States. But commercial operation of all safety measures is assured.

COLLEGE TRAINED SLEUTHS Crime!
Northwestern university is to have a new bureau of instruction. Chicago crimes will be solved inside locked laboratory will be employed to faster guilt, and clerks will come from the minds of trained human-bloodbounds. Students of Northwestern will be urged to adopt crime detection as a profession under the laws of human detectives and crime authorities.
It is a gloomy future when students of America universities have to be educated for a profession of such a service, because once one's life work is going to amount to nothing short of determining criminal motives, fastening blame on individuals for some sorrow, greatly crime. It is an important and thriving field of thrishing cities in search of murderer and thief — there isn't much wholesomeness to such a vision. The problem is that no one has studied. It has to be fought at every turn of the road. But there is something revolting in the decision to bring crime into laboratory of the university — something depressing in the encouragement that is given for the undergraduate to become a high-grade graduate. Chicago police are searching for Chicago crime be solved in laboratories not connected with a great university? The college man and woman has take enough learning to life full of service, without trying to sniff
Doctor Hubble pointed out that the significance of those figures is that they show the universe to be closed, and not infinitely continuous. You can see how important if you travel in any direction long enough, you will be back where you started.
"The surface of the earth offers a simple analogy in two dimensions," said Doctor Hubble. "Daily life in a small area, any way, through the earth were flat. Even should refined measures surge a curvature, it is so small that it doesn't matter. For hard surfaces, the care is entirely different.
"The earth is clearly not flat and the curvature intrudes itself on our daily lives—maps are distorted, ships are drifting—and this creates the noonday sun changes. Accurate measures over a large area indicate the size of the earth's surface uniform—that is spherically curved—and the surface turns back on itself to produce a definite finite area with curved walls."
"The structure of the University offers similar possibilities. So long as our lives and observations are confined to a small volume, we suppose that it will be difficult for us to tell the difference and hence it does not matter. But where large volumes of space are concerned we must be prepared for possible evidence of curricular differences if accurate measures are available.
★ farther away they are, the faster they move away. Before the speed of N. G. C. 7619 was measured by Dr. R.ton Humason, Doctor of Law at the University of the approximate speed. This prediction was closely confirmed.
"Something of this sort, in fact, has already happened. Einstein's theory of relativity predicted a local curvature of space which would test the prediction. The tests were made and the curvature was actually found. We learned from these that neighborhood of matter. This, however, is a local affair. On the analogy with the earth's surface, such local curvature helps bulbs made by mountains and hills.
"The theory of relativity, however, goes further and predicts a general time, which is more or less uniform," he said. "Surface surfaces are much smaller in depth; which is chosen in two dimensions, so space itself is closed and expand with volume." He also said, "we said

The new secretary of the navy, Charles Francis Adams, is in a direct descent of that President and his great grant of peace is to be prepared for war. It is not strange therefore to suggest that he should attach a high influence to the principle that the caution should maintain a navy "adequate" to defend the nation and its people.
Such talk from Secretary Adams will not draw cheers from the pacifists and "heart heart" from the "little navy" people, but down the main line of the true blue Americans, there is a reverberating volume of "diamonds."
Sincerely a day passes that does not bring evidences to thoughtful Americans that our self-containment, our self-sacrifice and our nerve and our world power are not regarded with gratification or enthusiasm even by those people to whom we have been most heartened.
