THE VALLEY
A *hinist hings hangs over the valley* the southern foot of Mt. Oread, ar out to the horizon gloomy blue-let blends with the skyline. Faint ints of golden sun steal through a mist, lighting the amber and green trees here and there. Showly he dainty veil lifts leaving the valley washed newa
Suddenly the sun throws the last races of the mist inside. The Valley flows in the light. Splashes of glorious color—red-orange, yellow-green, blue-violet, with all the subtle shadings—transform it into a beautiful picture stretching away into the morning. Autumn has come to the Valley.
SERVING THE PUBLIC
It would seem that the radio has now definitely stepped over into the class with the public utilities. Regulations concerning it are all made with the satisfaction of the public in mind. The Federal Radio Commission, in assigning new wave lengths for a nation-wide adjustment, had the "tuning-in" public in mind. In as far as possible it was made unlikely that one would tune in on a bedtime story, a political speech and an opera at the same time. The commission has reiterated its rule of more than a year ago that mechanically reproduced music being broadcast must be announced as such. The announcement must be made after each number, as could be done with first-hand music. n the same way the Pure Food Law requires that "canned goods" be labelled as to their true contents.
We might question whether a person hearing a photograph record of John McCormack and thinking that he was bearing the artist in person would not get just as much enjoyment out of the number. We also might question if one does enjoy canned veal as much as canned chicken unless the difference is pointed out to him. It is only just that we should know what we are hearing and sating so that we can exercise our right of choice, and violators of the ruling on "canned music" should be severely disciplined.
IN MEXICO'S SENATE
Two Mexican senators came to blows during a recent heated debate in the Mexican legislature. One senator hit the other in the face and then pointed a pistol at his opponent who was not armed. Friends of the attacked man drew their weapons and covered the first senator who was then liamsed. The session ended in an upriver.
Debates become heated occasionally in the United States senate. But unlike the Mexican affair, which was featured with fisticuffs and gun play, the disputes in the United States senate are usually marked by bitter insults and perhaps an exchange of raps with canes by the contending gentleman.
mexican senators should follow the American pattern and vent their excess energy by disseminating voluminous amounts of hot air instead of brandishing pocket fire-arms. And another thing: the Mexicans might substitute their favorite pastime of
ball-fighting with the American sport of college football. But perhaps Mexico considers the nuits of jazz-mad America too tame. These Mexican seminars probably figure that the United States legislator do not know what "a hot time in the old town tonight" really is.
JUST POLITICS
The Republicans are claiming that they are not bothered by the large crowds which are greeting Smith in the East. They claim that these do not indicate any extra strength for the Democrats. Hoover is to start for California Thursday. His route and the stops for his speeches have been planned. Now an extra stop has been scheduled at Pablo Colo, which seems to indicate that the G, O, P, may feel a little shaky about the West. The Democrats have been holding out what they thought to be a big surprise in the form of Norris. The switch by the Senator to the ranks of the Democrats was supposed to paralyze the opposition in the West. So far there has been no apparent unevail in the farming district.
The reumpent part of the campaign is at hand. A circular attacking the religion of Hower is going the rounds The Hooveries may retaliate.
It is yet unexplained why any person or party should want to resort to this type of campaign. Literature attacking the character of the opponent tends to hurt the author about as much as the one against whom it is directed. Mud slinging is a campaign snear which could well be wined out.
STANDARDIZATION
A vital question of concern to the United States has been raised by recent European writers and observer of America and American institution Foreign students examining the present New World structure have decribed that America tends to produce things rather than individuals. The point out that Americans are becoming standardized as a result of human subdication to mass mechanic production. Individuality, they assert is giving way to uniformity an industry has allowed no room for the development of art.
There is much to take cognizance of in these observations. It is true that the United States is the country of speed and efficiency and standardization. The situation has an economical basis. A heavy measure of importance is placed on the business and industry by the people of this nation. The possibility of too much materialism is a problem not to be ignored. Surely, America ought to find time and room for a little more of that which is artistic, which is emotional, which is spiritual, in its peculiar make-up. The silver dollar, if given the absolute right of way, will cut a rut in the road in which nothing but more silver wheels will fit.
Today's Best Editorial
San Francisco is again protesting vigorously against the use of the vulgar sobriquet "Frisse." The Chronicle of that city is helping along the campaign by publishing many letters condemning the bad habit of outsiders to name a famous Irish name for St. Francis of Assisi. One writer goes so far as to say that "it hurts the very soul of a San Francisco to hear the word "Frisse." Another says that "Frisse is an intrinsic memory of the gentle St. Francis."
When the eastern newspapers were reporting San Francisco's great californian prowess, they frequently used in their headlines, Californians in eastern cities, wrote indignant letters of protest to these newspapers. That letter was not abandoned then or later.
PRESERVE SPANISH NAMES
The use of the objectionable term is quite general in the Middle West, where he often says "Frisco" seems to trip quite naturally off the tongue of the outside coming to California. Yet he would climbed it to Nork or Chicago to Chigo.
San Franciscans are embittenly justified in their objection to "Frisee" to the United States. They should not be mutilated. Angelou resent the "Loss" employed chiefly by hobbes, and San Bernardino prope- tors. Such nicknames do not become more acceptable by usage. Their use is eliminatory.

World's Largest Telescope to Have a Mirror 200 Inches in Diameter
Pasadena, Cal., Oct. 28.-The world's largest telescope, with a concave mirror 260 inch in diameter, that two of the greatest existing instrument, will be under construction within a few months, it was announced here today at the California Institute of Technology. The funds will be provided by the International Education Bear dot New York, which administers some of the Rockefeller benefactions.

"The interest of the Board is based chiefly upon the successful cooperation of the Mt. Wilson Observatory and the California Institute, and their belief that the provision of additional means of furthering this joint work may lead to new advance in autonomy, physics and chemistry"
"Inside Stuff"
--more and better chickens so that the palate of mankind may be delighted with crispbrown, juicy fried chicken. — Arkansas City Traveler
Hidder was thanked the other day by a news source because certain statutes were printed in the Kansan. It was much a shock that he fears the surprise made him appear boreish in his reply—a shock because usually stories are left out or errors occur.
And Insider felt a bit mean, too, about being thanked; for after all the news sources. That a story in which any person or group is interested gets into the upper merely means that the person or group has an interest or importance to the public than another, not that his primary aim was to please those seeking publication.
That is the philosophy and science of the subject. In the realm of warmth, comfort, friendliness, not the niggling fault-finder who gets his stories printed. News.com

Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kensan;
And "insider"* the friend in the editorial column *who can get his lunch* at a 'pick 'em off the arm joint*, would like to remind him that "he is a 'sie' and that she doesn't like women." The newspaper field as well as other fields which used to belong exclusively to men. And nowadays, women copy-readers are the rule rather than the exception, and by lynch we mean "and 'two burgers' and a bottled beer".
Thank you, fellow "Sufferer," for those kind words concerning lunch on the Kansas copy-desk. I'm glad to know that there are others who agree with my view of what makes a website to life and happiness and good newspapers, "insider" is welcome to his theories but it is we poor copy workers who have to put them into practice.
Let us make the motto of the Kansar news room "Move and better food and at the proper time." Dewn with "blue journalism!" I'm with, you with, you with the optimistic interpretation of the news, for life is sad enough without making it sadder. If "Insider" will join our ranks, and after luncheon on the copy-desk has become a daily and regular part of to stay and dine with us nowadays.

FRIED CHICKEN
Tens of thousands of frying chicken goes into the cooking pans of AR-15 rifles. It is the dish supreme on the tables of hundreds of housewives during the summer and far into the winter it cooks up, making it a common cooking homes. After that the friars have grown up, and they become members of the chicken or some other form of delicacy.
Years ago Mother saved the egg and chicken money, dropping it by bit in the cracked china tea not behind the clock. She tended her business when she was poor, income they produced was hers, too small for a sturdy farmer to bother with. Now that same flock has grown up, the birds are of a biter better quality, and the income goes toward buying new tractors or so.
Great is the Kansas hen! For doced shes was nuggetted, her owners said, but the rainbow that existed right in their own poultry yard. But with it, they were
"The full co-operation of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, of which the Mt. Wilson Observatory is a branch has been assured by the unanimous action of Parliament to constitute committees of the institution, and by that of Director W. Adams and other members of the Mt. Wilson staff. The research policy of the Mt. Wilson institute, which will be designed to supplement and not duplicate the Mt. Wilson Observatory, will be determined by a joint committee representing the two institutions led by investigators."
Doctor Hate To Direct
Doctor Bilee Hailor
Dr. George Ellery Hale, honorary
vice president of the Mr. Wilson Observatory
of the University of the Observatory
Council of the Institute, told
of the plans today in an exclusive interview to Science News.
"In designing this instrument," he said, "we shall have the collaboration of leading physicists and engineers as well as of astronomers and instrument technicians. We must comprehend it will be used to extend our present researches in various directions, as in spectrum photography of the stars, direct photography of very faint celestial objects, investigation of distant galaxies, of 'tahund' universe beyond the Milky Way, and in radiometry, or the measurement of the heat from the stars." The equatorial mounting of the telescope will be designed by J. A. Anderson, Dr. Francis G. Pease, and other members of the staff of the M- Wilson Observatory, working in conjunction with several engine engineers.
"It is the great mirror, nearly seventy feet in diameter, double that of the largest that has yet been made, that will offer the most accurate of the fluorid quartz, and are much pleased by the cordial and generous offer of co-operation received from President Gerard Swope of the General Electric Company and Ellin Thomas Laboratory of this company at West Lymn, Mass.
"Doctor Thomson is deeply interested in the problem and has already succeeded in making quartz discs of considerable size. His method is to use a quartz disc full of fine particles, free from bubbles, on the surface, in which to grind the proper l-shaped figure. Such a mirror believes as well as a perfectly solid one, the advantage of being lighter.
"The great advantage of quartz is that it changes its form so slightly with temperature. With the 100 inch glass, you can use it as always; he careful to avoid exposing the glass to the heat of the day, and some changes often occur due to differences in temperature. With quartz mirror the effect of temperature is too slight to give any trouble. We feel confident that, by using a quartz mirror Doctor Thomas will have succeeded in making a quartz dir. of the requisite size. Pyrex glass, which is much better than ordinary glass, but is hard to refract, should be used as a substitute if necessary."

impossible to tell, but it will double-bear several years. The exact location of the new telescope also remains to be decided. Perhaps it will be at a high altitude, where there would be the advantage of proximity to the other observatory facilities. However, it is possible that the smoke, dust and glare of electric lights from Los Angeles might increase growth, may prove a disinantage, especially because of the comparatively short focus of the instrument. Several other sites are available in comparison with Mr. Wilson.
The trustees of the California Institute have placed the project in the hands of a committee of the executive council of the Institute, corporate chair of the California Milliken, director of the Norman Bridge Laborator of Physics; Dr. Arthur A. Noyes, director of the Gatee Laboratory of Chemistry and Henry M. Miller, director of the Dawes Commission and in other international undertakings. Dr. John A. Anderson, physicist and astronomer of the M. Willis Council, executive officer of the Observatory Council, in direct chargt of design and construction. They will be assisted by an advisory committee of physi-
and engineers.

The Quarterback Behind You
Football would be a complete mystery without him. He should have invaded the stands, but he game he makes play by ilay report with gestures, explanations, and illustrations. He sees everything and describes it with load expériences and graphics. He bestows the history. He best George Washington out of the fullback position on the Army team in 1759. He made the winning goal at Oxford in the War of 1812.
If someone fumbles the ball during a play you know within the next three minutes, you probably will not happen he happened to do it, and just what the coach ought to do to him. When the opposing team threatens to win, you should go past, that the ends should spread out, that the tackles should rush the play, and that everyone else can take advantage of Minnesota eleven approaches the goal line, he announces that a touchdown is certain if they use a fake kick play, but we can pass and he shrieks: "I told you so!"
With this expert in action there is little need to watch the game, Like
