CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, JP
Mr. Hoover has made another appointment without the usual consultations with political leaders of the party in power. Charles Evans Hughes, Jr., has been appointed Solicitor General of the United States. This selection was based upon the recommendations of leading lawyers and the bar association of New York. Meet of the new republican members of the House who are usually consulted on patronage matters knew nothing about it until after the appointment had been made. It is worth noting that Mr. Hoover has continued to follow his policy of appointing judges upon the recommendations of important lawyers and bar associations. Undoubtedly judicial and other legal appointments should be taken out of the sphere of politics. Charles Evans Hughes is the son of the former secretary of state and one of the youngest men to fill the position of solicitor general. Mr. Hughes is 40 years old. William Howard Taft, at the age of 32, held that position during Harrison's administration.
RAILROAD EARNINGS
One of the Robbishievic tendencies in this country—a wise move and one not to be scaffed at indeed—has the effect of improving the better railroads. The law under which this improvement is taking place provides that the railroads of the nation shall turn over to the government all of their earnings over 6 per cent. But rather than turn this money over to the government, since they cannot pay their stockholders more than 6 per cent on their investments, the roads have established surpluses to be used for improvements.
Such has been the case of the Santa Fe in regard to the Orient, and now the Rock Island announces that plans are being made for the construction of a new line, shorter and with less grade, between Trenton, Mo., and Kansas City. Under any conditions the law provides that the earnings over 6 per cent shall go for the improvement of the country's railroads. It acts automatically as in the cases cited above, and when, instead of creating the surplus, the money is given to the government, it is used for loans to the weaker roads for their improvement. This is only one of many examples of how government intervention in industry is improving the industrial facility and its service to the people.
DANCING A SIN?
Down in Ottawa the town is divided into two camps on the question of whether the city school marmors should dance or not and eleven of the seventy-six teachers on the teaching staff have not been re-employed. There are different stories but it is prevalently thought that this form of social recreation was an influence with the school board in turning certain of the teachers down. It would seem that when a whole town and school
board get so worked up over some a question as this, it is truly showing just what a small town it is.
Most school teachers are just one of college and all have been to college at some time or other. Surely they are human just like the rest of us—like to do the same things—like to have the same good times that they had in college. And is there any valid reason why they shouldn't have? The average school teacher does not expect to work at that profession all of her life—she wants happiness and pleasure just like the rest of us. K. U. is sending out a great many young women to teaching positions this year. The great majority of them have accustomed to dancing and card playing. So what make them give up all this? It doesn't make any difference in their abilities. For a town the size of Ottawa, this dispute is simple and narrow-minded.
WHAT CAUSES PERSONALITY?
For many years scientists in almost every field have been trying to unearth the causes for different per sonalities, but lately there has been an entirely new cause cited. It is what you eat! Donald A. Laird in the New York Times cageazine says "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are." This may become a new accomplishment in science. For instance, fatigue from boss of the laboratory in precipitation caused by heavy physical work may be overcome by drinking salt in water, it is said. The nervous system, which has always been regarded as the all important cause for our physical condition, is only an indirect cause, for it is the food that changes the nervous system. If you want to be the "life of the party" all you need to do is eat large quantities of fish for it stimulates the thyroid gland. Those who had hoped the age of dieting was nearly over will probably herald this new announcement with much constatation.
CUT RATE FREIGHT RATES
An agreement reached among the representatives of the railroads to reduce freight rates is perhaps of more importance than the Home Farm Relief bill. They have agree on a general reduction of rates on wheat and flour from May 15 to September 30, a specific reduction being made of seven cents a hundred pounds from Kansas City to the Gulf. It is thought that by this reduction much of the excess may be taken care of before the new crop comes on the market. Whether such high hopes are justified may or may not be questioned, but it is certain that the reductions will tend to make wheat sell for a few cents more a bushel this summer. The farm relief bill is working entirely on theory, but the reduction of freight rates is an aid which will tend to raise immediately the price of wheat without an economic rebound of any kind. This reason slashing reduction might also point to one reason for the difference of the dollar made in farming and the dollar made in industries. If the railroads can make a substantial sum during the cut rate period the question might be raised as to whether they should return to the former rate after this period is over.
It sometimes takes a lot of fiction to explain the truth.

Agonized hopes, and ashen beliefs.

Measurement of Earthquake's Severity Is Hard Problem for Seismologists
New York.—How to measure the severity of an earthquake is one of the chief problems confronting seismologists. This information is needed because engineers, constructing buildings that will be safe against earthquakes, want to know what to protect against. None of the three possible factors, extent of the vibrations, their accelation or the times between vibrations, are alone satisfactory.
(Science Service)
This was the view expressed to members of the Seismological Society of America, meeting here at Fordham University with its eastern section.
"Inside Stuff"
"I know more about it than the reporter, so I'll write it; and I want it printed just the way I write it."
That attitude on the part of speculators in various fields of knowledge is that they want to know where. Yet newspapers wish to have their contents written by staff members.
Of course the expert knows more about a subject than a reporter. If he is asked to write for a report, but the reporter, if he is a good newspaperman, usually knows more than the expert how to handle an unfamiliar audience. Specialists in any onederight to become so centered on a particular topic it from the viewpoint of the average human being. The reporter, on the other hand, is trained in doing just what he wants.
Were all newspaper readers seeking information so timely, then all newspapers are read chiefly for entertainment; therefore, it is always the goal of the conscientious newspaperman to present important information in such an interesting way that it can be by the entertainment seeking reader.
An article written by a specialist may be accurate, but it is usually interesting only to other specialists. When the specialist and the reporter co-operate, they produce something new. This often happens at the same time gives information.

TRUE AMERICAN ACCORD
Our Contemporaries
Former Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes last week spoke at Yale University. He praised the Pan-American arbitration pact and declared that the Western world welcomes this treaty. He pointed out that this treaty, as signed, demonstrated the sincerity of this nation in renouncing war as an instrument of national political self-defense to settle disputes peacefully.
Mr. Hughes is an authority on Pan-American relations. He holds the confidence of the peoples of the Southern republics. He was chairman of the Sixth Pan-American Congress at the arbitration treaty was negotiated.
Mr. Hughes long has been an advocate of closer reciprocal relations between the countries of the Western world and those of the United States more than any other citizen of the United States to bring about the rapprochement of his dream. He has worked tirelessly to build the building of a mighty coalition of Western republics. In the culmination of this work Mr. Hughes joined with others in peace and of human happiness, as well as a greater security for this government and its people and the peoples of the Southern republics. To this end, in out of office, the former secretary diligently and earnestly has laid in the interests of Fan-America.

A BOOST FOR OUTSIDE WORK
A college statistician finds that younger students through college make as good progress, if not better, in their studies than older students. A man says that the impression that athletes make poor students is erroneous.
Dean Earl J. Miller of the University of California, at Los Angeles, collected the statistics and makes these announcements. The scholarly standings of more than 2,500 men whose husbands wholly or in part were studied.
"Students doing outside work, taken in a group, or when classified according to gender, will be made as good or better grades than those men not working. In the case of students on probation for low grades, they are given a slightly better record." Miller said.
College youth has set itself up on a pedestal to be worshipped in awe and reverence by the entire world. The university is a place where money has given the majority of students a preconceived idea as to their value to the universe. That could be sent
Calling attention to these three criteria that have been suggested, he said, "What is right? What constellation can they reach the acceleration alone? It would not seem so, because an earthquake that is evidently of moderate intensity may break windows and do other damage because of the rapidity of the vibration."
KING FOR A DAY
"On the other hand the period alone cannot be a criterion. There must be a sufficient force. Stanford University teaches that in the manipulation of which these various factors can be controlled. A thorough investigation of the problem of destructive intensity awaits one such apparatus for its solution."
According to computations by European earthquake students, there is a discontinuity of some kind in the geologic surface of the earth's surface, in Europe. "However, there entered into this computation a very serious doubt," declared Doctor Mahadev Dashane, who studied the focus of the earthquakes. In order to eliminate this uncertainty, the records of a number of violent explosions, particularly those at Opau, Garmenc, Kabul and Balkh, and in the quaries of Malahcourt and Gargenville, were studied in detail because the energy was released from the earthquake and the origin was, thus exactly known. "The explosion at Opau was so violent that the elastic earth waves were recorded by seismographs up to the force of three hundred kilometers.
Athletes, delahats, student executives in addition to chasers work make higher grades than those with no athletics experience. The dean claims: "Buller Collegian."
If a questionnaire could be sent out, its truthful answering would show that many students are living beyond their means. While father
It is unjust to make a generality of this, for some doubly doubtless the most effective means of achieving possible. Others, however, feel that the world owes them a debt. They believe that it would be better serving of a university education simply because they have been educated in it.
The condition is present, and must be faced. But upon whom can the blame be placed? Maxim has it that the calf, given enough rope, will hang away; But Maxim's two ways give the impression, it is universally agreed that college youths have more intelligence than the average run of calves. But the rope would have to be lowered so the parent who says out the rope. He pays, and pays, and pays . . .

Mr. H. G. Welks has no high opinion of statesmen. Time and time again he has reminded them that because they know nothing of the realities of science and are therefore incapable of coping intelligently with the problems they face, so he himself undertakes to enlighten them and incidentally the personal affairs of the students. As is "The Science of Life," written in collaboration with his son and Professor Julian Hurley, both trained scientists, that has reached this country, it will serve as an example of what can be done to improve the education of people vergeage and hay have essences. . . "The Science of Life" will not tame auto-invictories or hate anti-hooliganism but will improve the education in biology as a science which has important social aspects. How are human beings affected by tropical diseases and the insect pests by which they are spread? How is food to be produced for human use? How are applying Meed's laws of heredity and the principles of genetics to the growth of wheat in more northern domestic animals? And what are the social consequences of saving indigenous peoples and had they been born in the biological darkness of only fifty years ago?
