SPRING SPORTS
The cheering thousands that threw the huge statue of every college and university each fall are absent when spring sports take the field. Intercollegiate track, tennis, and baseball have not the wide appeal of the gridiron sport of autumn. Because crowds cannot be attracted by these sports, as they can be by football, and even by the winter sports games, people thought discount spring as a season for athletes. The state represents unintent to that conclusion.
But gate receipts are a poor criterion for the essential worth of any form of athletics. One has but to glance about the athletic field of any school, to realize that spring sports sway the field in another way, in a way of infinitely more value than that measured by mere gate receipts. Tennis courts are crowded, Yearly, new courts are constructed, and still players await their turn. Golf clubs drive small white pellets with resounding whacks down the well-kept front lawns of a thousand country clubs. Horse-shoes clang as they bounce off pigeon runs. Pegs trot about the cinder track, many of them for nothing more than exercise. Black rubber balls clash against the high four walls of outdoor baseball courts. Baseballs plunk into waitings mitts. Corners lie are scenes of sandlot games. Librars withanches and cameras penetrate the awakening countryside. Nature's appeals are universal.
Hail to sports of spring! Nor hire-
lings here provide them. The autocry-
tacy of King Football gives way to
the democracy of universal participa-

WHY BE EDUCATED?
Every day spent in college will only not increase the student's earning capacity the accepted eight or ten dollars but will actually decrease it, if a preliminary report of Harold F. Clark of the Teachers' College, Columbia University, is true. After nearly a year's study of the relation between higher education and the average American's earning power he asserts that the apparent income advantages of university graduates are the result of "natural ability rather than education." Discounting former studies which show the financial advantages of a college education he says: "To reveal the actual results of education you are obliged to compare two groups of equally capable persons. The persons who are earning high wages today would have made them without the help of education."
However, the gullible student reader who has gone to college for the sole purpose of increasing his earning power need not lose heart entirely. Doctor Clark has not been faulther in his report which is aimed primarily at protecting the professions. One of his gravest errors gaint ultimate professional efficiency
contained in his concursions, in New York Times announces, "In a detailed report to be presented to the school authorities at the end of the year he will probably recommend a system of state control to limit the number of persons studying for the professions in order to keep the salaries from dropping and lower." In other word Doctor Clark is not so much concerned with the earnings of the individual as with the earnings of the class; he does not fear education so much as competition.
Although there may be an element of truth in his statement that "college education is likely to make a man too pensive and hesitant for the tasks of moneymaking," his report contains many meaningless sentences, which, in the light of his main content, makes the validity of his whole report seem doubtful. He says, "It is quite natural that if you compare non-educated persons with educated persons you find the latter earning more money because that type of person is going to school today." If the college student can discover the precise meaning of the sentence he need not fear for his future earning capacity; especially since Doctor Clark has evidently increased two things, the increased number of personal contacts resulting from a college education which later may lead to positions, and the belief of the never psychologist that the training increases ability. Students with their eyes fixed on more than future financial security need not be discouraged until more evidence is supplied.
KEEP OFF THE GRASS
Now that everyone has been convinced that spring is here, there are a few things that deserve attention. As is usual with most springs the grass is now coming out, and the trees are again showing their summer greenery. During the recent siege of snow, a number of convenient footpaths were cut across what are now attending to be grass plots. The campus is shaded here and there by uply tracks in the soft earth, and by newly-worn paths. The corners of the sidewalks are trampled by those who are hurrying to save time going to class.
Lawrence residents have been complaining of late about the habit many Hill students have of cutting across lawns. The parkings along Oread avenue likewise show the scars of unthinking traspassers. The building and ground force is basically engaged in cleaning up the campus, and a little aid is needed on the part of the student population.
Give nature a chance to beautify or campus again. Take care and Keep Off the Grass."
WANTED: A MONKEY
Ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith has taken up music—the sort often heard on the lower East Side, where he first learned to love the sidewalk of New York. He has bought himself a hard organ. It seems the John J. Raskow children have a barrel organ, and Mr. Smith could not wait until he had one too. The occupants of the Hotel Biltmore must have been very happy to hear the old time songs being floated around the rooms from the grinding of an old hand organ. Of all the places to install such an instrument, this famous hotel would be the last place.
When the crate arrived, Mr. Smith's curiosity overcame him, and he had to unpack it before the guests in his apartment. The organ is painted in bright colors, such as small children like, and can be rolled from place to place. If there is any music that becomes tiresome after a while, it is that of an old hand organ. With a monkey from the zoo, Mr. Smith could make a good living down around the East Side where he spent so many years, and where such music is really appreciated.

Reducing Noise of Airplanes Entails More Problems Than Engine Exhaust
As a fast military airplane dives toward the ground with a great noise, perhaps you feel that the science of aviation is very backward in not proactively using advanced technology.

If it were as simple as that, the problem would have been solved long ago. Only recently it was reported that a great European invention had been developed.

Again it is reported from Washington that President Obama and his coadjuncts have to make efforts to restrict the extra session of that body to farm credit.
The desire of administrations to prevent general legislation by extra sessions of the congress is the official requirement of old standing. President Grant, in his annual message of 1873, recommended the extension of constitution providing that when an extra session of the congress is called by a proclamation of the president in such case, such session shall be confined to the subjects submitted by the president. His object was to abort exertion and prevent possible over-legislation.

Last week "Rolando Peronas" attacked our beloved student hospital staff in no unaccented terms. The writer wishes to explain the need for a doctor's license Mr. Peronas. It's like this "Rolly." The hospital must have a certain schedule to take care of patients in need of medical attention, and to do this most efficiently, the staff will arrange an office hour. At his office hours, Simple, isn't it?
By way of information, some days the doctors treat from 50 to 60 patients, and other days they examine more seriously for about 40 students too ill to be on their feet. Most of the time these are well filled. The beds are confined to an individual into a few rooms is quite a breach in modern care of cases, but under the adverse conditions and limited facilities it is

Now, "Rolly," the thing you should have done was to apologize to those who are sitting on your street, who are working hard day in and out for the good of health strength, and the pursuit of happiness. These rickey stairs from morn till night, waiting on helpless individuals, who are always like likewise bugs as a one-armed paper-hanger with the hives, and when you become tired, it makes them mad. They will all be "down" on you, and woe be unto you. What is why you concealed your name?

But the sound of the engine exhaust is only a part, and a small part at that, of the noise of the airplane. Engine noise are very effective in cutting out the noise. These are not only of the type used in automobiles which baffle the flow of gas in a chamber but also of the noise easily designed to use the rapid passage of the plane through the air; to assist in the muffling. These are often directed into a chamber which 'land' into a venturi or throne through which the air is passing at a rapid rate, causing the gas and muffling the noise.
But there are other sources of noise. The propeller for instance, makes as great a racket as the engine. Especially for an Eagle, their blowhorn or whine is deafening, like the snowmill sawing knotty boards. Here is a nice problem, one which has made engineers enocked to engineer look easier than it is.
Some experimentation has been done. Manufacturing the propeller blades of some material which does have a problem, was then tried. Wooden propellers make nearly as much noise and so do those of various compositions which have the same problem. This led to the solution of the propeller noise problem that has been suggested is the wrapping of the metal propeller. It appears to have some merit in stopping the noise but no one has come forward and shown us how to apply the technique.

And there are other problem. I was riding in an airplane the other day, a closed cabin type, with all the windows closed. As soon as we reached no noise even with the engine throttled and the propeller just ticking over, it was like a train going through a tunnel. And all this noise was made by the plane's engines through the air; it would have been c.g. great if it had neither engine nor propeller.

HEXAGONAL STREETS
At a meeting of the Architectural Society a few weeks ago an interesting scheme of planning streets for newly laid out town was outlined. This resulted in a hexagonal system, instead of a the present rectangular system. At intervals of a mile the town is divided into nine benchhards, which would be the sides of another, much larger hexagon. And so, presumably, as David Swift Jr. said,
The big objection, of course, is that one can go in no direction in a straight line. It is true, but the system one can only go in a few directions in a straight line, while all others are comparatively circumnutual. Even if you want to provide for the main boulevard mentioned before, and it seems that,
The scheme has several advantages. It can be shown by figures that each house receives more light and air than an apartment, and as city areas are becoming more and more crowded this is an item of no little importance. It bends itself into the shape of a central heating, central ash and garbage removal, etc. Its main claim to advance, however, lies in the benefit it offers to traffic. It eliminates both the need for expensive hauls and haps one might say that it flattens them out until they lose most of their difficulty. Each interaction, as can be seen from the image, raises the driver of a car coming down on any one arm will be able to see several hundred feet up each of the buildings across the corner, thus tending to greater safety and also to greater speed.

The practical difficulties seem to be mainly that of public ignorance, but even if we had not would be prohibitive in most built-up cities. It would be an interesting experiment to try in new suburbania, or in a new township, and such a township is being planned.

PROMOTION FOR PRINCE OF
The proposal to make the Prince of Wales, the Regent shortly may meet in Washington to review of the inter impossibility of King George ever returning to active service as the ruler of one-fourth of England. He is desirable to pass the duties of King and Emperor on to the heir apparent at once. It is sometimes incorrectly stated that the Empire is the most figurehead, serving no useful function. On the contrary, the duties of this high office remain fixed. Having no titular head of the Nation here in the United States who is free from the chimes of parties and is able to serve a possible service a sovereign or non-president President can render. In Germany, Presidency is not the unifying influence of a man of prestige who is beyond the tie of partisan groups. In France the case is not so appearant, the Presidency is
Particularly in the event of a national crisis, the existence of a monarch or non-pardisan President becomes a great advantage in maintaining public trust and governmental policy. So it will be seen that Wales has a real task

THE WORLD COURT ISSUE
S. D. PARKER, President.
Probably the effect of establishing a regency for the Prince will be to augment greatly the influence of the monarchy in the negotiations, and in a wholesome way.
The chief question in relation to this country's membership in the World Court is whether the court issued a time upon the resolution of adherence. The formula which ex-Secretary of State Antonio Guterres uses for neva jawsis change, nothing in the American reservations and comprods no material change to its constitution. It could, therefore, be accepted by the League and by the State Department without further delay.
But it is less important now to hurry American memorials then to see that it comes in the right way. We will also be visiting the Court statutes which will make a thorough job of it. They will after the existing statutes to provide for various situations which are covered by these statutes. The separation of Court and League membership, the rights of non-League states in the election of Court judges, the procuring of Court exections, the decision on the Court statutes and the different question of advisory opinions are all to be dealt with. A new protocol, presumably revised statutes, will presumably be submitted to all Court members.
To avoid question or dispute that new political would have to be submitted to the Senate. All the important changes it will propose are made in detail. United States Senate in its reservations. Our new Senate less few isolationists than the old, and there is reason to hope that a recombination of the Congress will produce a more favorable and favorable Brooklyn Eagle
APR PROGRESS
At the end of 1928 there were 15,128 miles of airways in the United States, an increase over four years. Mail vessels, recharged in pounds, had tripled in one year. The number of passengers, 20,934, had increased 120 per cent since 1926. The national Chamber of Commerce, indicate a healthy growth, but there is still a long road to travel before aircraft can be said to be fully established.
American railway mileage is still eleven times as great as air mileage, that needs no tracks. The 1928 aisle in the railroad freight expresses the railroad will carried 16,000 miles as many. Air mail in millions of against railroad freight expressed in billions of tons. But there is one big difference in ten years railway mileage fell by 35 percent while the number of railway passengers fell off 40 cent. between 1910 and 1927. In air travel and air transports it will aid and no one can use its limits.
