Sailors shudder when this signal comes on a stormy night on mid-ocean. Lives, perhaps hundreds of them, are endangered by the sinking of a ship hundreds of miles from land. In the last week two such signals went out over the storm-tossed seas. In one case thirty-two men were rescued from a sinking vessel and in the other case the fate of the ship and crew is still unknown. With the sinking of the the Florida a hero was again brought to light. Capt. George Fried, of the American by his daring, coolness, and quick thinking effected the rescue of the entire crew of the doomed ship. This is his second dramatic sea rescue. The first was the rescue, under appalled conditions, of 25 men from the British freighter, Anticope. A race of 350 miles in a storm which was threatening his own vessel was threatened him to hesitate a minute after receiving that dreaded help message of the sea from the Florida. But that is the code of the sailor Distance and peril is no object when another ship is in distress. Nationality, race, or color matters not, all are treated alike. What a world of difference there is between the land, where no one will put himself out to help a fellow being in need, and the sea, where self is forgotten in an effort to help and save. FAMILY QUARRELS South America, noted in the past for her many revolutions, may well be called the land of continual boundary disputes. The latest encounter between Paraguay and Bolivia, unlike many of its predecessors, reached the point of being no longer mindful. The dispute has been long standing between the two countries, but, thanks to the League of Nations, it may be permanently settled. However the settlement of the differences of Paraguay and Bolivia still leaves plenty of disputes in Argentina and Chile have a nice little argument of many years standing, over the Andean boundary. Chile's question with Peru over Tacna Arica has become so old as to become chronic. Brazil, with her huge territory, has a ration of boundary quarrels for many years. Indeed, this boundary disease has become so catching that Honduras and Guatemala, just outside the shadow of South America, are throwing rocks at each other because of a boundary question. The cause of so many differences had been due to lack of information about the territories when the boundaries were made. Then too, the more powerful nations have a tendency to run over the weak, and this has aggrated the situation. Almost all the South American countries belong to the League of Nations, which makes the situation comparable to a family quarrel. Until some agency in the family becomes strong enough to keep order, the memory of one quarrel will live just long enough to start another. NEEDED: A WAR President-elect Hoover seems to need a war. He is trying to pick a ebinster of men who think more of their vocations and their country than of personal advancement through party affiliations. The late war's wave of petriotism brought many such men to the front. They were trained executives who gave their heels while the conflict lasted. With the let down of tension after the armistice was signed, many apparently decided they had won the war for the people and now might take advantage of political positions and associations to win a little something for themselves; so the plundering started. All over the country those who served with zeal in the recent presidential election have associates who feel their leaders should be rewarded with comfortable cabinet berth, Lists containing many suggestions have been tendered. The selecting of a cabinet—a relatively brief process under some former presidents—is proving a real problem. Business men today are not anxious to jeopardize their present honorable standing by intimate political relationships. It appears there is not much chance for an international war to keep competent men patriotically interested, so instead of choosing efficient men whom he deserves, Mr. Hoover will probably have to pick the west of the rest. WANTED: MORE ROOM The entire athletic program is crying for a new sports building for Kansas. Almost every branch of sport and athletics is being handicapped by the insufficient facilities now available. Both variety and intramural games are being played under a handout of equipment. It is the intramural program that is suffering the most severely. Intramural sports have gone abandain with unprecedented speed during the last few years. Under the directorship of Mr. Elbel, the slogan "Everyone playing his favorite sport," is fast becoming a reality. The intramural program is growing in scope and popularity. It cannot, however, continue to give this necessary side of student life without added means. Even the regular freshman and sophomore exercise classes are being crowded for space. The women's physical education is even more hampered than that of the men, by the lack of room. Swimming classes tax the capacity of the pool. The varsity sports are also cramped. The basketball team is handicapped by playing on an unfaithful court even when it is at home. The track men have no fit place for indoor practice. The wrestling team' quarters are entirely inadequate. Only the out-of-door sports are sufficiently equipped. A new intramural sports building is the only possible solution. It is the duty of the state to provide for the exercise and physical development of the students. The physical education department has outgrown its physical equipment. It needs more room! Today's Best Editorial Today's Rest Editorial The hue and cry which was raised over the "Lincolniana" published by the author, Abraham Sienaion and real, which Abraham wrote to Ann and Ann to Abramn—has driven them from the pages of the book. What is more, the editor, is now "convinced that the material lacks the authenticity which we have been accustomed to good faith is not questioned, but if he has any pride in his judgment as an antiquarian, it must have survived." DOUBTING THOMAS WINS The episode was curious and rather illuminating. Experts share with the general reading public a certain amount of guilibility. But in the course of it, they have found it amusing easy to pick flaws. Readers of any sophistication were amazed that such threadbare documents should be seriously presented as genius. Yet if they were for a joke, they could discover none. These letters did little violence to real Lincoln, if one may be said to exist behind the smoke screen of myth and misconception which time has laid for them. "in character." It is pleasant to know that we need not take into account this contradictory phase of an already rather baffling personality. Doubling up to a rainbow round his shoulder this time—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Industrial Research of Two Decades Reveals Advance of American Minds New York, Jan. 28—The advancing state of American minds is shown by the great development of industrial research in the last two decades declared Dr. Willis R., Whitney, director of the research laboratory of the general Electric Company, here recently. He smoke before the American association for the Advancement of Sciences at a symposium on research in chemistry, on methods of encouraging competent men to continue in research. (Sclence Service) "The obvious way to encourage, but encourage, has never been standardized," he said. "Coin is a token and performal useful functions, and salaries of research men will contend to rise. The accumulated research of an inventor's life time used to be so bad what it would have been if they had not needed by millions (there are two million American patents), but not one per cent of the hard working inventors were ever rewarded in all. They worked under heart - breaking disadvantages and carried the native risk of their ventures. The public would have been well justified in having the sick with competent workers. Later, it seemed more punishable for the sick than they usually do; they were hated if industry were built about a single experimenter." "Inside Stuff" New books are added to Watson Library shelves every day, and about as regularly it is suggested to Insister that a regular list of new books at Watson will make a good feature for the library in which insider is willing to admit. Several efforts to put such a list have resulted in failure because of conditions at the library which produce titles of new books. Not the fault of the library staff but simply one of them. The result are which are seen difficult to overcome. Meanwhile the Kanman does lay from time to time to note the more important titles. --pencils As Others See it JOE AND THE FIVE-DAY WEEK It has been generally supposed that Joe and his team have vebines instead of in cheeks, but done most to promote the five-day week at boat until Henry Ford decided that it was a good thing. Miss Patterson wrote: "The five-day week of labor, take a different way. As she sees it, golf is making possible the five-day week. She told about it in an address at Columbia University." Chasing the exclusive hall over the bill, struggling with trust and bookkeeping, exhibiting refinement of style and cordoning to Miss Perkins, have made such an appeal to business executives that they have come to a new deal where they should share in it. So golf employees should share in it. They are eager to life and are eager to their employees. The five-day week is needed to give everybody more time for the sport of the Scottish kings, or to learn how to manage a business. Miss Perkins an unprotected witness? There is still food for thought in what she said in this lecture, because she has been managing of industry. There is a vastly increasing recognition of the need of play for the greavens an amateur league and good business sense behind it. If all work and no play makes the man at the office desk a dull executive, he must man at the factory bench a lustless aristocrat. But it is probably still some time before the best-aimed golf bill comes into force according to Miss Perkins, have made such an appeal to business executives that they have come to a new deal where they should share in it. So golf employees should share in it. They are eager to life and are eager to their employees.

It is also regarded as well worth the money if it can be practically enforced. + "The more recent scheme is to stake groups of trained and selected investigators and combine their work on this new results may be contained in the next chapter. It is easy to see its advantages. On the whole, it costs the public less and produces better results than any other method. This is an occasional inventor who ripened his product on the day the market was exactly ready while declining even to feed the poor fellow who won was搔获 and got ahead of the process." Washington Evening Star Lead from Salary PREPARE FOR "Lifetime Service" with a Sheafers pen and paper. "But the unlimited use of coin abundance does not guarantee satisfaction anywhere, and we are thus led from the subject of salary, in which no one is expert, to the conclusion that the adequate compensation for encouragement to continue research must include those tolls of appreciation which other creative people generally pay for the success of the crowd of the service. This is a unique survival principle for a more. Publication in some form will bring recognition to the individual, and it is consistent to the article paintings, the beautiful poem, the sculpting --sculpture and the splendid architecture of other creators."

The development that occurs in such a research project is to come later, may cost many times as much as the original research with a chance that all may take advantage of it. One man takes no blind "finder" but first feels his way on a small scale, making his additions rather than later than he can imagine. The chance for failure reduced to a minimum, provided resources are not exhausted by too large a venture or new development projects at one time."

Hugh Bentley. Our Contemporaries --- Most young people are afflicted with an age that hardly makes them regard themselves as the center of their life. They often enough care to keep this ego from prying eyes. For this reason they have a point to keep a diag. Once the thought of the self-centered mind emerges, they seem extremely ridiculous. THE VOLTHEUEL ECO A true gen, which is nothing more than self-consciousness, is always at the forefront of life. It throws up barriers between what it feels, and what it writes people to be. It acts as a defense mechanism against self-consciousness of action that it uses as a defense mechanism against others. Perhaps if the youthful egoist, develop self-confidence, would be more analytic of his conjecture, the adult mentor's promise to call his action impervious. Mature critics should also remember that youthful ego often wanders and dream wildly, accomplishing great deeds on the thin surfaces of Minnesota Daily. Hang the Cost!

For wisdom comes to the eager freshman as he crouches under the chill night sky, holding till dawn a large and very empty bag. And wisdom comes to the smoker, too, who "holds the bag" until common sense tells him to expect a lot more than mildness in his cigarettes. Practically all cigarettes are mild—certainly Chesterthefield are, but it's the upstanding character, flavor and satisfying taste that put it in a class alone.
