NATURE CHANGES HER MIND
Red tussel leaves that slit down with restless rises on old Mount Oread make us repeat the saying "Man never knows when a woman's going to change her mind". Nature's painter has started on her reeds and browns again.
The dress is changed. In an off-ort to decide what lines to use for fall, the guarded old and sturdy young trees make fantastic patterns against the autumn sky. Spots that vle with the "burning bush" rival these for contrasts.
Naked trees warn us that winter is near. Fur covers those days on which the gods struggle about what winds shall whistle around the corners of Dyche and the Memorial Union. And on other days, human beings can not trust Nature and wear them anyway.
"If Winter Comes," will soon be a paradox.
ORGAN VESPERS
Has the modern college student any appreciation of good organ music? The answer is "No," if one is to judge by the attendance at the Sunday afternoon venuer organ recitals. The University furnishes these recitals free of charge for the students and the townpeople. The townpeople attend them and seem to enjoy the hour of music, but the students are present in small numbers. If the woes were to be discontinued, few students would notice the change.
The average college student can afford to spend a long Sunday evening on a dinner date, but he is too busy studying in the afternoon to spend an hour in quiet contemplation while the great competitors of the ages are made to live for him. Great works of music are played on one of the finest organs in this part of the country, but they are lost for the majority of the men and women on the Hill. Possibly if the University were to provide a popular jazz band for entertainment every Sunday afternoon, it would be necessary for one to come early to secure a seat.
Those who give the excuse that they do not enjoy listening to classical music might change their minds in they tried it once. The ones who give vent to wild "whoopee" when an orchestra plays "St. Louis Blues" can find genuine pleasure in listening to "Con Grazia" played on a good organ if they care to try. For those who enjoy listening to musical classics well played, the Sunday syesw recitals can be a source of real pleasure.
THIS EVOLUTION BUSINESS
Those who would condemn the teaching of the theory of evolution as the voters of Arkansas did seem to be jumping at conclusions. It must be remembered that all theories have adherents who never conceive adequately the full extent of what they would sponsor. Until any theory is demonstrated time and time again by specific action, there is bound to be error in the statement of it. Darwin started something which has already been greatly modified by those who follow him, and which, if it is true, is bound to have new significance and meaning as it is tested. The Arkansas seems to jump to the conclusion that the final absolute test
has been made and the matter closed
*Denying a secritying of evolution on its merits is a poor way of attempting to suppress it. Put a ban on anything and it immediately becomes the rage of the hour. One may well venture that Darwin's works will be more widely studied in Arkansas now than ever before. Evolutionist Literature is due for a wide reading in the state of the Ozarks.*
HOOVER GOES VISITING
Probably no action of the president-deduct could be more beneficial both from the economical and political angles than his proposed trip to South America. Trade with South American countries offers distinct advantages over European commerce. However, he student a number of commerce, evidently realizes the possibilities of exchange with our southern neighbors. Our trade with Brazil, Argentina, and Chile developed maximally within the past few years, not especially during the war.
Then too, Latin American nations have had an attitude none to friendly to the United States. In our dealings with them they have come to regard the United States with fear. Our disputes with Chile, our methods in gaining control of Panama, and the controversies with Argentina have furnished our critics an opportunity for calling the United States an imperialistic nation. The semi-occupation of Nicaragua by the United States marines has made some Latin American nations almost bitter towards us. Our dominance of the Caribbean which is absolutely necessary if the Panama canal and the Americas are to be kept safe cannot be appreciated by Latin America.
The Nicaraguan question seems to be well on the way toward a friendly settlement. The peaceful election of a new president, which was made possible by the presence of the marines, seems to have brought two countries to a closer understanding. Whether Hoover goes to South America with the idea of increasing commerce or to bring the Americas closer together in friendship, the result should be beneficial. With the increase of commerce, political relations will be more satisfactory. Likewise the cementing of friendship will tend to increase trade. Whatever the journey it is to be hoped that it will bring this country and the nations of Central and South America closer together and to a better understanding.

EDISON
EDGON
The highest of all boons is to have immortality assured by the common acknowledgment of the world, as the sword of the Israelites has this boon. The Congressional Medal of Honor, appreciated as it must be only puts the formal seal of government under his own hands; he is nowhere contested. Nevertheless, the tribute of the president of the United States in a broadcasted address, the sincerely eloquent words of the President in presenting the medal, and the cheers of hundreds of the most prominent people in the country warmed the heart of the octogenarian in-
President Coulidge summarized Mr. Edison's career when he said: "His goal always has been some useful objects and energies. Few men have possessed to such a striking degree the blending of the imagination of the dreamer with the reality of the world. Those who remember the laboratory at Meno Park where the title of 'Wizard' was first won, where the electric light first shone to the children, knew the tirelessness of Edison's experiment. Electricity was just beginning to yield its phenomena to the service of mankind. Young men from Princeton, from Rutgers went to help Edison, and he could tire them all out. He did, but some of them stayed awake and "experienced" of course. The first use of the carbon film in a lamp bulb was only the opening up of a new field. The best carbon had to be found, no matter where it was
no statistician and no historian will ever be able to figure out what is the debt of America and of the world to the American people, that can never be paid, and no payment is anticipated, no compensation, save through the perpetuation of the Edison ideal in the later development of practical science — Brooklyn Earle
Standardized Traffic Signs and Signals Would Be An Aid to Color Blind Drivers
Washington, Nev. 15—Automobile drivers who are color blind or color week will be less likely to get into trouble when traffic signs and signals are standardized. A report just completed by the committee of the American Engineering Council on traffic signs, signs, and markers, advocates standard images throughout the country. While color blind people are not mentioned in the report, the adoption of many of these standards also gives light to the could depend on.

Winter—cold, snowy, winter with its attendant red roses and antsflies and bees, but also the bushy foliage, but full of apology and with apparent lament to make up for best time. Overcrowds and sheepskins have been yanked from the treasury, frost coals and adorn their various varieties.

Many students give the opinion out-
For the person with normal color reactions, this system has the advantage that the red light, meaning stop, is visible all the time. When traffic is thick, drivers may see the top light in a vertical set-up three seconds before the lower signal comes on. The driver is lighted, the driver is warned at the earliest possible moment to slow down for the carriage stop or the natural order of seeing them, based on reading experience, is to not touch the one at the left and hit the one at the right even more heavily on the position of the lighted lamp than the normal person, and when this is made aware of it, the driver will be alerted. Use of the words "Go," "Caution," and "Stop" on the luminous signals has not been suggested in the report, but the present tool allows a single-blind driver, but the present tenancy is to reduce the amount of reading that a driver must do to a safe
Advantages of System
The invasion of color!
The plan of having the different oiled light shapes differently is another sort of first-aid to the color blind. The shapes are included. This system was tried out in New Orleans, where the green light was diamond shaped, the yellow light alone, and the blue light of what shades of green and agree light can beat be distinguished by both color blind and normal eyes has been tested by experimen- tors with these colors and blue-green, the bluer the better, the most clearly distinguished.
Contusion of Colors
The usual type of color blindness results in confusion of two sequences of colors. Red orange, and yellow all appear blue; blue and yellow are taken for blue. There is no difficulty in distinguishing the colors that appear yellow from the colors that appear red. Red and yellow are very mute tints, but yellow and red lights may be confused and some red lights, instead of crying stop to the color blue, are practically invisible.
Since about 4 per cent of men and a somewhat smaller percentage of women are involved, there are weak on their ability to distinguish colors, there are several million people in this country who produce traffic signals. Traffic signals unmistakable. In some cities, the color blind driver is refused a license, if he is detected. But police agencies use traffic signals and conform to crossing regulations. Moreover, it has been pointed out by psychologists that the normal eye at an angle of 60 degrees is difficult in distinguishing colors as the color weak person, and at times, the automobile driver inevitably gets hurt from one of these confusing angles.
The world has gone color mad. Color has become the most essential requirement of the woman's ensemble especially so in hosiery.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Honest Abe's Face
Have you ever stepped on the wall of Abraham Lincoln? You will probably say, "Why, how absurd, if I cannot answer." But do not be too sure or answer is correct for I am not an accountant. If you happen to be walking down the west side of Tennessee street after dark, and the street lights are burning, you are likely to step right on the image of "Old Abe" without knowing.
At the corner of Tenth and Tennessee, on the southwest corner, there is a profile of Linecloth on the north and south sidewalk. This profile is light which shine over a strange mass of roots from a large tree growing on the parking. These roots are so formed that a profile of Linecloth is visible in this profile appear meaningless, but as you gaze upon it, it seems to recall to your mind a profile you have seen before. The longer you look at it the more familiar it appears, ushering you into the realization that it is the profile of "Honest Ales."

A contemporary observes that the earth was a wilderness until human settlement. It is clear, even in cynicism may add that effort is now on foot to turn a considerable portion of the earth into habitable land.
