IMAGINATION
MONDAY, JANUARY, 14, 1929
Strange, is it not, this power of imagination? Just before the holidays when people were carrying extra handkerchiefs, exhibiting especially red noses, and speaking in a strangely nasal dialect, others would sympathize with them and say, "What a terrible thing, this old flu." Now, people go around in the same manner, but since the epidemic is apparently checked, the casual remark from the unafflicted is merely something about a "bad cold."
- Gossip is another flaming example of the power of imagination. Stories authentically printed or told will frequently develop new angles in an over-creative brain and before many repetitions have changed entirely.
Sometimes when people are "sitting on top of the world" they imagine that others feel the same way and it helps the situation ever so much. The world seems a "pretty fine place" to be in after all. Imagination furnishes a way of mentally attaining those things which are materially absent in daily life. It is also a method of deriving pleasure at the expense of another by looking down on him and exhaling one's self.
It is a stange thing; it plays important roles in epidemics, gossip, criminal and civil cases, books, romance; in fact, it plays a part in every situation effected by human emotions.
AN IMPENDING CATASTROPE
The nickel, most important coin in America as long as there are ice cream cones and candy bars, seems to be growing increasingly scarce. A few years ago the student who dropped into the neighborhood cafe for a cup of coffee, and tendered a half-dollar in payment was likely to receive a quarter and four nickels in return. Today he will get the quarter and a couple of dimes—none of Uncle Sam's pet buffaloes.
In fact, the lunch-backed animal is disappearing from the range of the American pocket and pocket-book. Disappearing, not because Uncle Sam has ceased to stamp him upon lumps of ore and call them nickels, but because he is being locked up and removed from circulation by an ever-increasing number of nickel vending machines for selling candy, gum and mints. The very fact that several hundred thousand of these machines, which have been distributed over the country in the past two years, are only opened on an average of once a month would be enough to make the situation acute were it not for the fact that the machines themselves make the need fornickels all the greater. The student who has not a nickel to his name is becoming more common than the one of the last decade who "hadn't a red."
If the thing continues, everyone will have to resort to carrying a flock of pennies. Pockets will be worn out weekly. Wives will object to the mending required, divorce their husbands, and shake the whole social structure of the nation to its very foundations.
Beside the appalling results thus contemplated, farm relief, the Kellogg pact and the cruiser bill fade into insignificance. It is not for these mat-
THE SCHOOL CODE COMMISSION
The school code commission report recently recommended the following qualifications as being necessary for an individual to hold the office of state superintendent of public instruction. A superintendent must be a graduate of an accredited college or university, hold a state supervisor's certificate and have at least seven years of experience as teacher or supervisor in the common schools of Kansas. He would receive a salary of $4,000 a year while an assistant would get $3,000.
The required qualifications for the state superintendency do not appear adequate in proportion to the responsibility and duties assumed by the head of the state's educational system. If the requirements are inadequate the salary is doubly so. It is hardly possible that an individual possessing the listed qualifications would care to undertake the direction of approximately 18,000 teachers in the state for a muger year salary of $4,000, when he might receive a salary of from $5,000 to $7,000 as superintendent of some city school and have the direction of not more than 600 teachers. The low salary paid the state superintendent is not only an injustice to him but to other individuals seeking the superintendency of city schools in Kansas. Many school boards would be reluctant to pay a superintendent more than the head of the state's system receives. The result is that many worthwhile educators are obliged to go where they will get more in proportion to their school. After all it is really the school children who are the losers.
The teaching profession as a whole in Kansas is generally underpain in comparison to requirements and salaries in other occupations. Education is such the important factor in the lives of the people that it behoves the school committee to place efficient men at the helm of the educational system. The wages should be sufficiently attractive that an educator who prefers teaching as his occupation will not be obliged to resort to "highway robbery" as a preventive

The invention of an electric train, a toy as yet to be sure, that will start, stop and back up, at the command of the driver. Garage doors open themselves at the door, a horn, holds astonishing promises even in this age of startling mechanical vebots. Indeed the busy man needs it when he leaves him with little to be busy about except to bux himself trying to find something to keep him busy. The explanation of this new “do-oom-boo” device is housed in his hands"is housed up with a microphone that, via automatic relays, carries the voice to the radio detector, which starts the motor, that starts the engine, is incidental to the possibilities.
With such encouragement the imagination may easily anticipate a contented commuter, who now enjoys being awakened by an automatic alarm clock, he or she arises, "Furious! Heat the house to 70 degrees when you're

Source of Man's Racial Differences May Be Determined by Inheritance
"Pew questions are of more lively interest to many humans than that of the attitude and source of moral differences among men," said Doctor Hilder. Knowing that anarchism remains fixed and unchanged in the living world, Hilder adds that there are "many different perspectives and different. And further, sending that the spirit of modern biological science asserts itself in an increasing control of the phenomena of life, the same mind asks whether these moral differences are also to yield to scientific con-

--length of time to which the span of one single human life is as a drop in a glass of water. And it is only by the slow movement of evolution that conditions in an environment condition into a world more in keeping with out ideals. The individual who thinks he has a panacea for all human life must remind him how important his own needs require from him three meals per day, and that the two billions of his fellow creatures are in the same fix, but that he does not need diversion and diversification. Education has become a sine qua non, without which all the agitation for betterment, quick remedies, quick paths to right-equality, quick eyesight to a man in a maze.
PANTS IN AFGHANISTAN
Even a king must be wary and disregard about urging his subjects to accept new-fashioned ideas, else he will be in a revolution and find himself unexpectedly in an embarrassing situation.
But the outstanding danger to be faced is that the easy optimism of the modern era, as for matters of sterner realities of life and to be found wanting. Take, for instance, the question of economics. It is easy to realize that a firm connection with capital and labor, which, if followed, are expected to bring about the greatest human gain has existed or not.
This fact has been brought home further by King Amaluullah of Jerusalem to make his countrymen "pant-e-seons." Last September he issued an eulogy that all male Afghans should devote their loyalty to the devoir to put on the appearance of contemporary Europeans. But an appalling fortaleast as to overburden the loyalty of his majesty's subjects, for a large number of them have recently removed these pants, and chased the king and queen discreetly out of Kabul, the capital
The interesting thing about Anamalish is, not that he has such indulgence in it, but that his king, is able to rise up each a rumpion.

Education is sometimes said to be for the exceptional people and sometimes said to exist for the mediocre. Education is not necessary because only part of the population can be educated and these expected to assume places of leadership.
EDUCATE THE MASSES?
On the other hand, there are some who maintain that the exceptional will succeed without it. The medium education to bring them up to knowledge will succeed.
These persons would find little comfort in knowing that the high school course cost $1,200 per 100 per cent during the past eight years and college enrollment in its same period. In the same period, Whether we like it or not, education is extending to the
One outspoken individual claimed that we didn't need to worry about educating any more people. He advanced the view that there are too many people in our society who individual become much the same view when he said that we have too many people with brains now. With the increased tendencies toward big business consolidation, fewer people are needed to run the enterprises.
Education is costly by we aim to be able to afford it so there is really no extension of the educational process. If as many believe, education is primarily for the purpose of learning how to earn a living, people of all vocations might well have the advantage of a renewed education —Synecte D Orange.
Youth is always an age of optimism, a period of life when everything appears may change and sophisticated as many college men and women consider themselves, the four generations properly be placed within that space of an individual's career when optimism comes alive and colours one another.
This is nowhere more evident than in the apparent radical thought among students who identify with the legacy of life today. This freedom from the restraint of tradition and the certified beliefs of an older generation is a matter to be appreciated and used wisely, but it would become stagnant without originality and the fresh breath of tolerance. A frank discussion of major problems, is indispensable for the success of the work to prove themselves worthy of the support which society has given them during their stay at college their debt can be liquidated by the students taking part in political, social moral, and philosophical questions which never before in the world's history have been so acute and pressing for solution as they are.
EASY OPTIMISM
"The following facts supply a partial background for the biological answers to these questions. During seven experiments, we observed the growth of the body and the differentiation of physical traits in more healthy animals compared to animals controlled by the glands of internal secretion. But whether these controllers have a truly hereditary basis or not has no application of the principles of breeding to these traits—has not bitheron been proved. Such proof is now supported by these enduring organisms, the thyroid.
"The results of this investigation show that in ring doves four races with large thyroid and at least four individuals have been established. Through four to six generations the healthy individuals satisfactorily maintained their thyroid size at a characteristic level. It was found that attending a study of the heritability of thyroid size have been adequately eliminated in our study of 24
"The fact that *thyroid races* have been formed is in itself good evidence that genetic factors for thyroid size are involved. Since the discovery has now been obtained from seven years of study of the behavior of thyroid size in crosses of the various races previously proved to have high genetic variation, large thyroid size. Large thyroid crossed with large thyroid yields large thyroids in the first generation. Small thyroid crossed with small thyroid gives small thyroid in the second generation. Large thyroid crossed with small or intermediate thyroid gives thyroides of intermediate size in the first generation. Some further evidence is obtained by crosses of second bird and fourth generations.
"Much similar evidence indicates that the size of the pituitary gland is similarly inherited. The successful study of these two organs gives a faller understanding and increased knowledge of its structure as size, measure of jaw, length of limb, shape of head, and texture of skin and hair."
We must know first where we are going, and then we must learn the great lesson of patience, that great things are not achieved in a moment, but that great efforts must be put forward to accomplish all lasting results. The easy optimism of a student is natural to youth, but along with it must be learned the hard way about the valorization of the terrible inertia inherent in our civilization, and the foresight to perceive that the royal road to progress lies in earnest preparation. We must understand the greatest number, and not in blind emposition to the powers that be.

Dear Ms. Doublu
After reading your column for some time, I have come to admire greatly the wise and tactful way in which you note out details of my life. Perhaps you will help me in a very serious matter. I am, at present, quite friendly with three young men. One of them is a blind engineer; another is a healer; the third is a red-haired, lawyer.
Dear Mr. Bently:
Now, I don't mean to flatter myself, but all three seem quite serious in their attentions and each one is intensely jealous. Here is what the trouble comes to be with me: I'm not "one and only."
Really, Mr. Beely, I am in deep distress! Should I eliminate all but one, and if so, which one should 4 choose? I like all of them and I am afraid to tell any one of them that there is
Hoping you will help me as you have helped so many others, I am
Sincerely yours,

Pollie Marie:—
In one of my former letters I swear that I would never answer another "Loveblair" letter. Anyway this one won't count.
It is really surprising to me that one with the sophistication and self-confidence should ask advice from one so pure and untarnished. To think of a girl as simple as a boy simplifies to satisfy worldly desires. Oh! The smelly salts, Oh!
Now getting down to the spirit of the thing—since you haven't a particular crush on any of them, you're not sure that's drawing the largest endowment from home. This idea of going with a man because you want him to play for you is the minification of the "Pay Nineties." My advice to you is to play all three of them, but just in order to lie in an easy-to-match position, "One for all and all for one, and every man for himself." Power to you, old dear! O'D, don't men!
Positively.

Chairman Robinson is in open disagreement with other members of the Federal Radio Commission regarding the need to address changes in broadcasting. He told the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, which is concurring in its opposition, that the radio situation was better prior to Nov. 11, when the reallocations become effective, than it did with members have reported improvement.
Mr. Robinson also expressed the opinion that congress intended the real locations ordered by the Davis government whereas the majority of the commission voted to make them all at once. The forty cleared channels provided by the commission is another matter the commission will meet with the chairman's approval.
All this perhaps explains the uncertainty and hostility that have marked the case of the defendant. More light is obviously needed on this situation to determine whether the fault lies in the fact that the defendant is not a legal expert or whether it is due to ambiguous legislation enacted by Congress?—ask Public Health Ledger.
