SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 1929 WRAPPED NICKELS A manufacturers' representative recently revealed before a Congressional Committee the idea of wiping cheap cigars in imported wrappers so that smokers will like them. This appears to be not only a clever bit of camouflage, but leads to the thought that perhaps other commodities worth not more than a nickel might be handled in the same way. Why not conduct a campaign for the popular use of the 5-cent piece based on the wrapper idea? Different colored wrappers might indicate different purposes. For instance, a nickel in a gully fluted, perfumed wrapper might admit you to a show which ordinarily would relieve you of ten nickels. A pentitical booking lavender wrapper would let you by the church usher while a nickel wrapped in black would give you a shoe shirt—that is if you were warm brown shoes. A warm brown wrapper would bring you a "zooteat smooth," while a red wrapper would entitle you to a bowl of chill. A noisily clad nickel would entitle you to passage on the street car—but for how long? The idea of clothing the nickel seems an insignificant one, but is it not as sensible as the proposal of the manufacturer' representative? THE RISE OF ARGENTINA The Argentine Republic is looking up in foreign trade. Nearly forty per cent of all American exports to South America are sent to Argentina. Her ports are nearer to the chief ports of Europe than they are to New York. Argentina is the farthest removed geographically from the United States of all the South American countries. She alone of the Latin American republics is a trade rival of Uncle Sam; she sells her agricultural products abroad in competition with the United States. Also, she affords the best market in South America for European, as well as American goods. Argentina's growing economic strength and physical remoteness reflect her political relations with foreign powers. She has been more independent in her attitude toward the great states of Europe. Her connection with recent world affairs has been a course of absolute self- reliance. She has been self-assembling and outspoken in criticism of the Monroe Doctrine and other Latin American policies of the United States. Her leaders have frequently threatened retaliation against American tariffs. What does the future hold for this South American nation? Is the Buenos Aires government destined to become some day a major power in the affairs of the world? Japan's rise to a position of importance in the family of nations was remarkably phenomenal because of its rapidity. Argentina could easily become the paramount power in her region of the world. STATE SCHOOLS A fourth city of western Kansas has put in a bid to the state legislature for a new educational institution, Scott City has asked for a school of liberal arts and sciences. Dodge City, Great Bend and Garden City recently introduced bills for new tate schools, Dudge City wants a liberal arts college. Great Bend vents a technical institution, and agricultural chool for western Kansas. There are a number of institutions of higher learning in Kansas. In addition to the state schools, there are a number of denominational colleges. But the notable fact is that none of these colleges is located in the western third of the state. This condition is a handicap to many of the young people of that region and constitutes the primary argument of those who would establish another state school. It is a logical contention. A state college would naturally be an asset w the western section. from the point of view of the University and the entire state, however, such a move would be detrimental, several neighboring states follow the plan of strengthening the university by centralizing all educational efforts at one place. The University of Kansas would undoubtedly be a stronger institution if this were done. One soundly established university, standing among the leading schools of the country, should be more desirable to a progressive state than a number of colleges scattered about. MARITIME LAW AND THE CRUISER BILL The essential clauses of the Borah resolution, proposed in 1927 immediately following the naval conference, are again submitted by the Idaho senator for enactment in the cruiser bill, now pending in the senate. Convinced at the time that the failure to the different applications given maritime law by the great powers, Senator Borah proposed that the of war. His resolution attracted United States summon a conference to restrate the law governing neutrals and belligerents at sea in time if the 1927 naval conference was due little attention at the time. The cluuses he now offers as an amendment to the cruiser construction bill are: 1. That congress favors a restatement and recodification of the laws of law governing the war on drugs and neutrals in war at sea. 2. That such resatement and recoification should be brought about if practically possible prior to the meeting of the conference on limitation of armaments in 1931. This amendment is interesting in the light of the impending filibuster in the senate over the bill for the building of 15 new 10,000-ton cruisers and an aircraft carrier to be built within three years at a cost of $874,000,000. The Western led, by Senator Norris of Nebraska, proposes to reduce the bill to five cruisers, to cut out the three-year time limit for construction and to give the president the right to say when the crafts are to be placed. These changes would place the extensive program on a paper basis and might allow the great naval powers to come to some agreement on cruiser limitation and the codification of maritime law before money is expended to build up the naval power of the United States.

Hydro-Electric Project Will Convey Water Through Alps for Power New Yerk, Jan. 26..The first of the year will see the opening of the famous Monte Oro tunnel on the Adige-Garda hydro-electric project at Lake larda, Italy, according to Romolo Angelone, the Italian commercial attachere. This three and one-half mile shaft, one of the most difficult engineering facts in the history of hydro-electric engineering, allows the waters of the Alpine lake to be pumped into the rivers Alpi Apu to provide a large part of the rich industrial district of northern Italy. ( Selence Service ) Lake Ledro, at an altitude of 2,150 feet, lies behind the first range of the Alps, while Lake Garda, less than four miles away, is by 215 feet above sea level. To connect the two and bring the water of Lake Ledro through to its drop of slightly more than a mile, a dam was built building in New York City—it was necessary to blast a way through the intervening Monte Oro. After the sola stone was cleared away, the tunnel was lined with steel and concrete for its entire distance. If the uneven surface of the bare mountain rock had been permitted to come in contact with the rushing waters, thickening excretes "Inside Stuff" --to correspond with the technical demands of modern industry, accumulating evidence that education pays, recreating and reinforcing an abstraction to obtain cultural advantages. The number of agencies which now provide for adult instruction, as contracted with only small firms, has increased under outstanding phenomena of the time. Comment on the Kansan's "sendal shoot" of last Wednesday reminds me of his faculty who hopes that "other people get as much fun out of laughing at me as I do of laughing at them." Everybody read the passage, and most of us thought he some thought is highly interesting. Others were "again." Some thought it a good thing for a change, but not as a good thing if they are marked that if the Kansan kept getting more conservative it would soon be as conservative as the New York Anyhow, it was a lot of fun for the staff, and seems to have been enjoyed by the readers, too. Perhaps we just did not display here. This much is against such a policy however. The big bend headlines leave less room for real questions, so the revealed few local stories than the Kannan has carried in a long time. So the real question becomes, "Do you want more news? or more easily visible?" Any reaction from readers and stressed to Insider at the Karsan of fire will be welcomed. Today's Best Editorial REALITY VS. LEGALITY IN REPARATIONS O. Henry in one of his stories describes the manoeuvres of a youth who saw a cat on a backyard fence and tried to catch it. In order to achieve his purpose the youth had to keep his eye off the stone as he moved gradually toward it and also to protect it from the attack. The operation is prescribed for the experts who will gather around a table early next month and undertake to capture the cat. One topic among them must be officially ignored, although it will be constantly uppermost in every one's mind. That is the war debts of O. Henry. The experts have been given to understand that reparations are one thing and the American war alone will do no wrong. The two there must not be even the fainted suggestion of a connection. They will proceed formally upon this issue. The experts will be considered with no intimation what Britain, France and Italy must pay has any influence upon the determination of the amount. If the experts want to continue "oard," the experts will devote a large share of their attention to the matter which is officially taboo. The payoff to the United States is to the United States will be a prime factor in determining the payments which Germany must make to the Allies. There will be a conflict befallen by both parties, ever prospect that reality will win. -New York World --to correspond with the technical demands of modern industry, accumulating evidence that education pays, recreating and reinforcing an abstraction to obtain cultural advantages. The number of agencies which now provide for adult instruction, as contracted with only small firms, has increased under outstanding phenomena of the time. Everybody will be interested to some extent in the government's announcement that on July 1 it will begin to put its new paper money into circulation. It will be only two-thirds of the size those now in use. The fact that this reduction hawsupon to correspond very closely with the increasing power of the dollar since 1914 will probably afford a lot of material for jokes, but there are a number of reasons why. As Others See It HILLS THAT WILL BE SMALLER KEEPING ON AT SCHOOL The age limit below which formal education continues to be desirable is being constantly revised upward The new size is not wholly an experiment. It has been tried out in the Philippines and found him hands-on and counted and less bulky in the pocket or bill-fold. Of even greater importance is the growing need for grazing. In making the change the government has adopted radical alterations in the designs and chosen a new kind of payment, which also so as to make counterfeiting more difficult and more easily detected. The new money will be issued with warorn-out bills for new ones by the banks. With two sizes circulating at the same time there are many difficulties but any difficulties of this sort will be bort-lived. —New York World - The Adige-Garda water tunnel project is the third of its kind in the world. Another, slightly longer exists in the Italian Alps and a shorter one on the Siberian steppe in the Sierra Nevadas in the United States. After being led through the tunnel, the Ledro water drops at an angle of 15 degrees perpendicular distance of 1,908 feet. In recent years it has been found most efficient to place hydro-electricgets around the dam where the greatest is the force of the waters dropping from this tremendous height by turning them upward at the end of the plunge, and revolving them around water wheels attached to their sides. Completed in One Year. Despite the difficulties of an en- tire undertaking a new plant which has clasped since one year which has clasped since Gabrielle D'Anunciu, enlivened his blessing at its inspec- tion, a Vanguard Borgna and Rivian will be furnished with low-pressure electric current. The building cost for the enterpise will be about $180,000 from $154,000 to $2,000 per horsepower for hydro- electric enterprises in the United States. The present installation of the enterpise comprises two units, each consisting of n 14,600 horsepower turbine driving n 16,300 kilowatt alternator with n 10,600 kilowatt alternator with the total initial capacity amounts to 18,000 horsepower or 36,000 kilowatt. Two additional units, each with a 15,000 kilowatt alternator with the total initial capacity are expected to be matild. With all four units in operation the total plant capacity will represent 161,500 horsepower or 88,000 kilowatt. Italy Uses Electric Power Even without the Adige-Garda unit There are in Portland several institutions which hold evening classes and invite the attendance of grown-ups to attend college, extension division of the University of Oregon, the free public evening schools and others. The pub. school is called the Boston and Girls' Polytechnic High Schools and commercial and academic work in the high school of Science and eight grades are taught in seven schools open to adults, and there are classes for the foreign-born in sixteen schools, including afternoon and morning classes and for men who work at night. It is agreed by practical employers that employees who are enrolled in continuing classes are as a rule more alert and efficient than those who are not. This is because the focus is to the selective operation of the plan itself, which is utilized by the more forward looking and ambitious. The direct benefits of training, however, are limited. This is why we need. The announcement that there is room for additional enrollment in all the evening schools carries its own suggestion to the prudent and wise. —Portland Oregonian Italy led the world in increased use of electric power in 1928, exceeding its 1927 record by twenty per cent. In 1930, electricity was been attained without adding to Italy's cost of coal, importation of which is second in point value and has an economic benefit of 11,000,000 tons—little more than the 1915. It if necessary for Italy to generate electricity by nuclear, it would require 40 million coal demands. Her power production today is about 81 per cent hydro and the balance steam. Total Blowout costs are about $8,000,000,000, or approximately one-third that of the United States. The Hawk's Nest Yo-hum! Yah-b-h-i. Could hardly get up on this morning to write the old column.

Parker, President EDUCATION NOT “HOT” Education is a word that is fully as extensive in its connotations as the word “hot.” Nearly all human beings are in “hot” situations or in “educational” Rarely is a thing both “hot”和“educational”, e.g. a “bath” date is not one with whom one enjoys the soothing balm of conversation. With its ever increasing variety of meanings, what then is the true interpretation of these two words? People agree that it is something that one gets from college but censures it with football, the raccoon coats and the “Sweetheart of Sigma” shirt. Education proceeds from college, a preamble that is in no wise undebatable, what are the qualities of the availabilities of such an education play some athletic game well, wear his clothes becomingly, discuss the latest novel, walk with assurance, and use a cell phone to call his table manners are seldom offensive. Is this education? It is common. Is it wrong? —Oregon Emerald Everett Dean Martin, director of the Institute's College of New York, says "To my mind, an educated citizen... but not one who knows the significance of what he does. Who has acquitted himself to 'a 'no,' and they are his own. He knows why he behaves as he does. He has learned what to do, and he makes little difference whether he is trained in philosophy or mechanics." A. G. ALRICH John Stuart Mill says "To question all things; never to turn away from any difficulty! to accept no doctrine either from ourselves or from other sources; to suffer a negative criticism; letting no fallacy, or incoherence, or confusion of thought, step by unperceived; above all, to insist upon having the meaning of the question, by using it, and the meaning of a proposition before assembling to it."
