THE FATHER OF A COUNTRY
The creator of the mythical country of Granastark, which was peopled with quaint natives and visited by adventurous Americans, died in New York this week. George Barr McCutchene, author of "Beverly of Granastark," "Brewster's Millions" and other popular romances will create no more characters and kingdoms for the public's pleasure.
In high school literature classes students used to be odd not to read his stories—but they did so just the same. The prohibition simply gave added gust to Bevely's romance. And while we wondered how Brewster would spend his millions what difference did it make whether the author hailed from the banks of the Wabash or the Avon?
The high school students of a few years ago were not the only ones who were disappointed to learn that the kingdom of Grassnark was not to be found on any map of Europe. Their parents, too had been only too willing to believe in these grown-up fairy tales. In fact, so many thousands have found pleasure in the works of George Barr McCutcheon that despite the realism of Rand and Nally he will be remembered as the father of a country.
UNIVERSITY DRINKING PROBES
There was a K. U. exodus to Manhattan last week. In a few more weeks, a large number of K. U. students will go to Columbia for the Jahwah-Tiger clash. The conduct of students on these trips should not bring the University of Washington's problem home to Mt. Oread.
The president of the University of Washington, aroused by reports of drinking and gambling among fraternity and sorority students there, delivered a warning that such practices must cease. He intimated that revocation of the charters of certain fraternity and sorority organizations had been proposed. The student excursion to Portland for the Washington-Oregon football game possibly prompted the university head to speak, according to a news dispatch.
The press item about the situation at the University of Washington may be taken as the hand writing on the wall. University students everywhere should accept it as sufficient word to the wise.
DIOGENES ON THE HILL
"Will the person who took a kahani coat by mistake from central Administration rest room please call 2473?" We are not trying to give this advertiser a free repeat in the Kanan, for the advertisement ran several nights and if the person who made the mistake intended to mend it she would doubtless have done so long before now. The point is that such "mistakes" are not uncommon on this campus. Thine and mine too frequently are synonymous in our minds. The person who wrote out this advertisement was charitable either from innocence or a desire to appease the offender and make the return of the property less awkward.
In the hall of the Law School there is a good sized table which is always loaded with bulky law books. Students
deposit their books here in the morning, if they so desire, returning before each class for the volume they need. The size and weight of their books make this a great convenience to them, and as far as can be ascertained one may place a book on the north east corner of the table and return in a week to pick it up from the same spot. This is an enviable example of co-operation and it is doubtful if it can be equalled by all schools and departments on the Hill, Hill.
THE FIGHT GROWS BITTER
Pardonian lines are growing taut as the campaign continues with increasing force. No longer does a man proclaim his political neutrality. Every one is ready at the drop of the hat to uphold his side with vigorous argument and prejudiced statements. The notable thing about all it is that each person knows absolutely that his own views are infallible and that his opponents are all wrong.
Seven Philadelphia waitresses were dismissed recently because they were said by the management to have insulted Mrs. Herbert Hoover by cheering for Governor Smith, Mrs. Hoover and a large number of Republican women were at the club when these waitresses appeared at the windows of the dressing room fronting on a street and cheered for Mr. Smith, "A Smith Cheer Costs Jobs" read the headline over the story of the incident. One may certainly conclude that the campaign is growing bitter when the holding of a job depends upon a Smith cheer or a Smith jeep. The consulment part of this political stifle is that the contest will soon be over. Then politics will become settled again until the next election. And the United States will continue in its course no matter which party is successful at the polls, Nov. 6.
Smith's reply to Hoover at Boston has been described as "hot". If this kind of work keeps up the election may become the old fashioned kind in which both candidates really opposed each other.
Candidates are not doing all the asking these days. How about the college man who叫es; his girl on the elephone just when you want to use
The Yankee Doodle, a cigar-shaped monophone, made a new speed record eastward. We are still wondering whether the stunt is an advertisement for some airplane company or a cigar manufacturer.
Will Rogers claims that if Cooledd would start running for the presidency he would be elected over either of the nominees now in the race. It is our hope that he doesn't run, especially after so much money has been spent trying to get Smith and Hoover to Washington.
"A Large Crop of Walnuts" says a crossline on the Times. This discovery presents a strong temptation to bring up the old one about "wallflowers," but we are not going to yield to temptation this time.
Today's Best Editorial
October has grown suddenly, prematurely and queerly old. The change came almost overnight. It has been a lost and straying August rather than a true October. A summer moon has broadened over a summer landscape. This was no October, but a vagrant month, full of heat and humidity and frost, with the cool, moist air and the chill, purple twilights of a genuine October.
The heat somehow checked the miracles of autumnal chemistry. The splendid coloring the woods and fields that began too early in September warred with a slight brow, a little white ago have faded into dull patells. The high winds that walk the ridges are neither summer nor autumn winds. Almost without warning, the leaves turn a deep brown, while others hold leaves as green as the deep green of July.
"OLD OCTOBER"
The weather gods mixed their magic. In some way the calendar of autumn was reversed, until a belated coolness overtook a waning month and reminded it that November is not far away — Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Early Discovery of North America Meant Little to Primitive Peoples
New York, Oct. 26. "The real discovery of America, by primitive men who long ago lived the ice waters of Bering Strait from Siberia, was probably not looked upon as any great adventure at all. It was almost as shab and natural a stepstone in New York's history according to Dr. C. R. McFarland."
"Inside Stuff"
Jim Dash is getting to be the scapegoat around the Kannan family. "Constant Reader" will remember, is a little dash which goes between related parts of a story, between the short items in a column, and so on). Tau Sigma was the victim of Jim's latest escapade. An announcement and a story about the dancing story were downstairs, i.e., in the print shop ready to go into type. The director of the dance and his relatives, were setting stories without inserting between them the shlags of metal bearing the Dash siblings. The short Tau Sigma item got added to another short item about the special train to Manhattan last week. Then the makeup man put on the headline from the large Tau Sigma piece that both stories began "Tau Sigma"—on the short Tau Sigma story, picked up the special train story thinking it the second paragraph, and a beautiful hash of three stories resulted.
This problem of why and how the first human beings came into America has long been a great point of controversy, by Doctor Hurlikai stated that new evidence has accumulated in such quantities that conclusions can at last be drawn with reasonable certainty. An official report on many hundreds of skulls, a large part of which were collected personally by Doctor Hurlikai in western and eastern Alaska, recently, will soon be issued, he stated.

"There could have been, it is now certain, no great single wave of the migrants that became the first Americans," he said. "Faint, there was a stray and natural passage through that ocean, but his process hasted until recent times. Liberia is an inhospitable region, where famine and cold always threaten. Less than thirty miles across, the people who wandered or were forced by others into northeastern Africa had already been shearing shore, free of snow and see, the winds from that direction were vaner. Diftwater floated from that island. There were islands which served as stepping stones, and it was easy in winter to find them. The large groups of these Anasiatics safely cross the northwest passage."

"Northeastern most parts of Asia reintroduced the only feasible route into America for the original inhabitants, their nine class of culture," the author wrote. "The majority of its history is the Indian and Eskimo diversity of the Indian and Eskimo a demonstrated by much evidence obtained recently from old burials." There are now more than 13000 skulls in the San Luisbon collection, most of them American, Study of this region has yielded interesting results and Indian are related, like two trees that extend from one hand, Doer or Hrdicka said, and be pointed out that many typical Indian as well as Skimo face bear a striking resemblance to the Mengold tribe of Venezuela.
"Another important point which now can be demonstrated through collections made during the last few years, is that the people coming over to her Bering Straits and Sea were not trade barbarians, but were bringing with them a rich and highly developed culture, exceeding that of the tribes or Chukan Indian of the region. They are strongly the origin of the native cultures in this continent, just as the diversification of languages, may not have wholly evolved on American soil, as we hitherto believed."
"The population of america has been established in the course of only a few thousand years, probably no more than 5,000," he concluded. "It would be a fine thing for subarchaeologists to find evidence of ancient man indicating that, and not human bones indicating that antiquity have ever been discovered."

We cannot understand them. Are they defense mechanisms? Does dedication or failure find solace if burning its unfavorable situation? It is scandal by submitting that its environmental conditions were misinformed. Does a specific short story of the progress of any program can be in a "world like this?" We must conceive that we do not know.
We are not attacking criticism. Constructive criticism is the necessary catalyst for progress. But we cannot help comparing a healthy battle-ry educational, educational, and political advanced school to the scrippled, sieve nightly scripple of things as they are.
