STILL THE HERO
One of the most spectacular and poetic, events of all history was completed yesterday when Lindbergh and "The Spirit of St. Louis" landed at Mitchell field. The famous "We've combination had flown 23,500 miles visited 82 cities, and had been idolized and cheered by thirty million people.
As a fitting last chapter he returned to the same field from which he took off on his trans-oceanic flight. He undoubtedly landed filled with different emotions than those when his silver plane rest uneasily under its load. Lindbergh left Mitchell's联 on a great adventure into the unknown. He returned as an author who wrote a whole chapter in the text book of world history.
Can those millions of people who saw the famous aviator ever forget his unassuming smile and toasted hair? Can the thousands who heard him ever forget his modesty or fail to be impressed by his straightforwardness?
The Guggenehme fund could have picked no better professor to expound the lesson they wished the population to learn. They placed more in the minds of the American people than they ever dreamed. Lindbergh did not present commercial aviation to his listeners. He seared ideal Americanism into the hearts and minds of the thirty millions.
"I'm just simply too deep for that teacher," remarked a freshman when he received his theme back with this note on it: "Not clear."
BUT—
That two-letter word “if” has been considered until all that can be said it is trismur. We have yet to co-sider “but.” We have learned to say “The picnic will be held if it doesn’t rain.” We have not learned to say “This is true, but’ this other fact is also true.”
The schoolboy of the Middle Ages have left us with an heritage of solutianism from which it is hard to break. We tend to set up hard and fast standards in a changing world, and to cry over spilled milk when scuffing boys knock the bottle off the doorstep. Milk bottles have a right on doorsteps, "but" youngsters also like to scuffle.
We set up speed limits of 15 miles an hour. A driver comes into court and proves he was traveling only 14. "But" he was chatting with a companion and inductive to his driving, and there were children playing in the street.
To our trusmas about "if" let us add trite sayings about "but," and "however," and "moreover," and "furthermore," and all those other relative expressions. Let us vote that not only Darwin, but also Einstein was right.
An advertisement in an eastern paper characterized the old horsehair sofa as "hideous." Whereupon a writer waxed eloquent on the sofab subject, asserting that he believes at least 50 per cent of all men over 50 years old received the "yes" word on just such a sofa.
The varsity Saturday night was not free for all, as rumor had it, but a free-for-all.
FOR SCHOLARS
My figures are "excited"—
So good people say,
But the sky's excited
Each time it writes a day!
God who made the Dodo
Savely loves a joke,
"Ita!" the thunder shouted.
When it hewed the oak.
May makes coral-colored
Metaphors of trees;
August loven lightning's
White huperhools.
Tiger are a bovine—
Only males are grey.
One can't take a world like this
At donkeys munch their hay.
Sunset in a burning bush—
God in the flame.
If my words are fierce and gay
His pewter is to blime.
NEITHER DEVIL NOR ANGEL
—E, Merrill Root in the Forum.
Increased mobility has brought increased human contact in contemporary society; and this increased contact in turn is bringing both increased conflict and increased possibility of co-operation. Whether it shall be conflict or co-operation depends to a great extent upon our individual readiness to adapt our culture to the other cultures being imposed upon us by the increased facilities for communication.
The telegraph and the radio, the railroad and the airplane, are increasing contacts between geographic points. But these contacts must be individualized; and this is the business of the newspaper. Without newspapers, individualization of contact would require telegraphing new developments to every civilized individual every day.
The newspaper, thus, is a link in our contemporary communication system. It is neither a panacea for civilization its ulcer or a mercy to civilization. Or, rather, it may be either, depending upon its use, just as may be the radio, or the airplane, or any other modern invention.
An El Dorado minister believes that the best way of keeping young is to dress young and act young. The only trouble with this is that if some people were as young as they dress they would have to be wheeled around in baby carriages.
CGNTEMPORARY KANSAS POETRY
The state of Kansas has again made a unique contribution to American culture, "Contemporary Kansas Poets" is one of the first editions of poems that represents the feelings and interprets the minds of n a state.
This volume is of interest not only to citizens and friends of Kansas but to all those interested in poetic literature. Kansas represents the democracy and equality of the middle west. All this is interwoven in poems produced by Kansas. Kansas represents the toll and culture of the pioneer, and so one finds true literary simplicity and sincerity from such a source.
Twelve contributors including the editor, Helen Rhoda Hoopes, are closely connected with the University. Only one author is a student, while others are members of the faculty of several different departments.
Herdity is something every father believes in until his freshman son returns home for Christmas vacation.
"Contemporary Kansas Posta" not only symbolizes but is the present culture and state feeling of Kansas. The University should feel justly proud that it contributed so much to the granted success of such a production.
A Spartan folkway was resurrected by a jury in the court of assignes in Chester, England, last week. A laborer, who confessed to the killing of his 3-year-old invalid daughter because he could not bear to see her suffer, was acquitted by the court.
WHEN KILLING MAY BE MERCIFUL
The circumstances of the case were not unusual. The little girl was hopelessly afflicted with several incurable malades, and physicians held no hope for her recovery. The court found that the murderer was activated by love and sympathy.
The outstanding phase of the trial was Judge Granson's charge to the jury in which he stated that if this

The east arch of the entrance to Blake hall is made pictureness by the iry which hangs upon it. The vine in the arch is open with araining grape, some of the tendrils fact to the wall, and others swaying in air. The front has branches that contrasts with the sturder reds and yellows of the season, and viewed from a little distance the coloring is consistent that it suggests artificiality.

Baker Discusses Evolution
Animal Varieties Are Produced in Man's Lifetime
--a veritable haven of students during the lunch and dinner hours—and at breakfast time, too.
Urbana, Ill., Oct. 24—Evolution under actual field conditions, producing distinctly recognizable animal vitalities, was described by a man lifetime, was described before the National Academy of Sciences here recently by Dr. Frank C. Baker, a professor in the university's history of the University of Illinois. The changes described by Doctor Baker took place in an artificial lake created by a dam in Wisconsin. Preserved water and land were then be occupied by a number of creeks and small rivers, in which lived several species of frogs. These were of species very definitely characteristic of a running-water habitat. As their condition of life changed, these animals became extinct, part of them betook themselves higher up the water courses, and part stock it out where
The ones that migrated upstream remained in much the same kind of position, used to, and their descendants today are exactly like the ancestors of alkyears ago. The ones that held on in the wetlands to river to lake, have themselves changed most markedly. In general, their outwaters thicken, the banks thicken, and the shoals of the snails have developed wider and lower coils, and they have a clear-cut illustration of animals changing into new varieties under the influence of new environmental conditions.

There are hundreds of trade-marks today which mean as much in the realm of commerce as the king's signet one meant in the realm of government. To the buying public, they represent honest manufacture, sound value, fair pricing. They are recognized everywhere as the passports to public preference. Yet this confidence was not won in a day. It was built up slowly, conscientiously, on the solid foundation of quality and straight dealing. Above all, it required systematic and truthful advertising.
In the old days, when kings counted for more than they do now, the bearer of the king's signet was a person of the first importance. Gates flew open before him, difficulties dissolved, the whole realm hastened to speed him to his purpose. For the royal ring was the badge of supreme authority. It was the kingly mark-mark. Wherever it went, it was known and respected as the outward symbol of stability and power.
The king's signet
Advertisements are messengers sent by dealers of established reputation to tell you where you can buy economically and to the best advantage. They bear the badge of authority, the stamp of reliability, the king's signet of honest worth. They are worthy of your confidence and respect.
Advertisements are a source of information and a means of protection. Read them!
