Fall of Afghanistan King Is Significant Politically, Says Davis
Hereditory Chieftains' Power Would Have Been Reduced by Amanullah
The recent fall from power of ex-
king Amannahul of Afghanistan, an institute
European reforms into that nation, and
peculiar significance politically in
western Asiaic affairs, according to
K. Davis, of the history department
"The now deposed monarch," said Professor Davis today, "was trying to do for Afghanistan what President Kemal has done, with more or less difficulty. However, the difficulty of such an attempt is profound, due to the extreme ideas of tribal independence and individuality and to the warlike charisma of the Afghans. The Afghans make first rate fighting but are good for little else."
powerful in the situation which would have overturned the culmination of an attempt to westernize Afghanistan, even if it had succeeded temporarily. "While Afghanistan is nominally an Arab country," he wrote on went on to say, "it is actually subordinate to and dependent upon the government of British India." The United States commands the northwest passage to India, and Great Britain must dominate the government to protect her interests. Afghanistan was westernized socially it would be open to bolivism and socialistic influence from Russia, which would have been the status of affairs would not be tolerated by the English. The Indian government has long been suspicious of the Russian muleged from Russia into Asia."
"Anamallah's experiment was in line with the changes that have happened to Asia, Professor Davis concluded of Asia, Professor Davis all have a dengge profound changes as far as governmental aspirations are concerned in Afghanistan was that Anamallah's plan would have made impossible the concession of his headline-based tribal chieftains who were refused to accept the change."

Slumbers of 1:30 Class Will Shift 23 Members
"I know that this subject does not hold a great deal of interest for many of you, especially at this hour of the day," Ms. Khalil said from staring." Thus speak the instructor of a 1:30 American Government class, as have many other students. Whereupon the majority of the class caused down in their chairs and probed Mr. Khalil, a practical joke forces an opportunity, which, by the way, presents itself more than once. The next day the playful percentage came to class.
The discussion had proceeded to the point where it resembled the telling of a dimly story. Suddenly in the room, at which those only half asleep looked up, again a lusty "R-r-P" from the same place, at which the rest sat.
A hackless soul, for whom the joke was evidently毫恙, gazed around wired-eye, found the noisy clock under his chair and shut the alarm as follows:
Smiling, the instructor uttered something to the effect of "Amen."

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 17, —(UOP)—J. L.Joslin, purchasing agent for Dallas Public Schools, and a taxi driver for Dallas, waiting for a green traffic signal. Both heard an explosion and the curb, jumped out and examined him.
The public chauffeur had seen his tire yet. He said, "thought it was you" Baddy, it is you," and then a fluff of air on the bottom of Josiah's left front tire.
Joslin sighed in relief, when he saw the taxi's right rear tire was flat. "Gosh," he said to the taxi driver, "for a moment I thought it was k."
"Well, brother, it's both of us," decided Joslin and both began search for jackets and wrenches.
Prayer Stops Teachers
Only 43 Per Cent Can Explain Part of Lord's Praver
The investigation indicates "that the school and church are failing in teaching the student the wider and more known passage," Mr. Wheeler reports. "If college students understand only about two-thirds of the prayer the teacher is averaging, a average child probably be more appalling than this study indicate."
(Science Service)
Johnson City, Tenn., Jan. 17—Tennessee college students preparing to be teachers are well acquainted with the words of the Lord's Prayer, but they are not aware of this famous classic which they will repeat daily in their school rooms. This is shown by an educational experiment with 540 students conducted by Lester R. Wheeler of the East Tennessee State University, and reported to School and Society.

Ninety-six per cent. of the future school teachers wrote the words of the lesson out leaving out a word. When asked to explain the fifteen different thought contests, the average student gave a score of 86 per cent. of the ideas. Some of the units were found to be much easier than others, so per cent could explain "Our Father," while "The kingdom come" proved to be much harder, so per cent answered by only 43 per cent. The easiest passages were "and forgive us our debts" and "lead us not into trouble."

Indians Still Would Burn Homes to Destroy Dead
— Telephones —
News Room, K. U. 25 — Business Office, K. U. 66
Washington, Jan. 17, —(UP) —Aos laws mean nothing in the lives of Navajo Indians, for whenever one of them is moved to a city, burn their homes and build others.
This practice was mentioned in a recent report of the superintendent of the Navajo Indian reservation in Arizona, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
"The dwelling of the Navajo Indian family," the superintendent explained, is called a "hogan" and it dwells in the sense in which the white man uses these terms. It is simply a shelter. The Navajo has no word that means "hogan."
Always built to face the east, these shelters are well lighted and give protection from the storms that hit the coast from the west, the superintendent said.
The old adage that "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" is seemingly applicable to the Navajo superintendent fares.
He has built numbers of modern houses on the reservation, but many Navajos require to live in them. They have their own simple earth-floored "bogans,"
Some of the Indians have been induced to occupy modern homes for a while, but after a member of the family dies they will want to burn the dwelling and preserve it from doing this. So superstition forces a return to the "hogan."
