ONLY THE HEADLINES
"Have you read of this case in the papers?"
"Only the headlines."
Time after time the question was asked in the recent examination of prospective jurors for the Sinclair-Fall trial. Time after time re-echored the abbreviated reply, "Only the headlines."
Somehow or other, those who has read only the headlined qualified When occasionally some one conceded that he had read the details of the story, his eligibility was immediately contested.
Here is a case which has been before the public for several years. The case involves millions of dollars worth of government property. It involves the highest legislative body of the United States and an immediate bearing upon the future national welfare. It is a case on which all who are watchful of the interests of their country would naturally be supposed to be informed.
All of which leads one to wonder if "only reading the headline" does not in some way make possible the fraudulent practices of such men as Sinclair and Fall.
And still there are those who have read "only the headlines" or perhaps nothing at all. To have read thoughtfully, to have sought to understand the affairs of government would some how have impaired their availability for the box.
Miss Elder evidently spent a restless night while flying over the Atlantic. Headlines in the Kansas City Times, read: 'A Nightmare Over Ocean.'
PLAY
FELLOWSHIP THROUGH PLAY
The opening of the intramural athletic season has provided an essential part of the student's physical and mental development. Intramural give any student, not proficient in athletics, a chance at wholesome group play and exercise.
The athletic department has been devised to make inter group athletic as far reaching as possible. At the present, intramurares are mostly a group of inter fraternity contests, with only a few non-fraternity groups participating. John Sabo, director of intramurares, has done everything possible to interest other groups of students. He has formed athletic clubs and aided them in getting practice periods.
All groups naturally enter the intra- murals to win for their own organi
ation or club. This fact, while one feature of the whole system, is secondary to the success of the attempts of the athletic department. When the men of the University meet each other on the plane of athletic recreation, there will follow a feeling of co-operation and fellowship that can not be gained around the fire-place or in the study room. Herein lie the duty and success of intramural athletics.
"Unimpact Jurors Award Scott a Hollow Victory," says a Topeka Capital headline. We've heard of most every kind of victory, from the martial to the moral, but we wonder what this hollow kind is.
SOCIETY AND THE PRESS
While families charge, and some short-aged editors board, that the press controls society, it may be that all society controls the press. Newspapers are products of society just as surely as are the members of any other trade or profession.
The principes children learned from ten to forty years ago in home and school and church and at play are now being translated into action in the daily press. Instead of this often discussed question being, "Do the press control society, or vice versa?" it is, What is the process of interaction between the press and society? The press is part of society, just as is the church or any other institution, and it never hirsen and never can rise above the general level of society. The two must climb together.
"Dog Passes College Intelligence Test," a recent headline told us. We always did feel that taking college intelligence tests was a dog's life.
USELESS?
Another trans-Atlantic flyer has "hopped," and the I-fold you so chorus has brought out its hammers and tails. Comments vary everywhere from the reactionary "It's agin' the will of God" to the temperately progressive "The Atlantic will be spanned regularly in the future, but flights now are premature and do more harm than good because so many of them fail." Newwill more and more ocean flights are being projected.

It is the old story of the "fools" who lead. Many pioneers were thought unsettled, shiftless folks. It was not until the perspective of years gave proportion that we saw that both the rambling frontiersman and the settler who developed the land were both necessary. It is too easy to say that if ill fated trans-cean hops are unleashed. In the most recent one, at least, the cause of the failure is known; and as more and more attempts are made at long flights more and more knowledge will be gained. Even today trans-cean flying is much safer than it was when the "NIC" ships made history. New instruments have made air navigation a more certain thing than it was even three years ago. As new needs are found, new devices will be developed to meet them, until some day the dream of the 19th century novelists and 20th century aviators will come true, and a regular air line will span the Atlantic.
Dad's homecoming day has certainly changed from what we used to experience, when a little conference game was played in the wood shed.

The Hill in Its Beauty Garb

The elm, which stands on the slope just west of Gecreah hall, flaunts a gold and scarlet vine that flares about the ground, the vine is called dancer, and gives the old tree with its trout yellowhead and air of green ground, the ground vine leaves are a rich yellow but as they follow the tendrils which twist high into the tree, they grow large and show contrast to the dull bark. The tree, with its part-colored companion, is thrown into soft relief by the foliage of the tree, frost, and presents an unique picture to the passers-by who go on earth via the walk across the street from Snow

Milk Is Americans' Drink
Health Association Commends Improved Sanitation
(Science Service)
Cinematti, Oct. 19. The tremendous increase in America's milk consumption has resulted in heavy research on the issue; bandit; and supervise our milk suppliers. C. A. Houlquist of the New York state department of health declared today the annual meeting American Public Health Association.
Mr. Holquim attributes the status of milk as almost a national beverage reason for its high demand; the value of milk as a food; second, the serving of milk free or at cost in large industrial plants; third, the need to health and milk producers' organizations; fourth, the improvement in quality of both raw and pasteurized milk.
The cleanliness or uncleanness of the bottles that milk comes in constitutes a big public health issue as it can be transmitted by the Pennsylvania state department of health, speaking in the same section. Manufacturers have taken the hint, but not until recently, to rapid strides in the last five years in perfecting the bottle washing machinery. Many states have demanded the careful cleaning of all bottles, so they become a priority.

Make yourself at HOME!
We don't know just how you conduct yourself at home—but we're willing to take a chance. . .
A great many men have learned to think of this store not as a stifty formal place in which to buy merchandise, but as a decidedly informal place in which to settle their clothes problems.
There's considerable difference, you'll agree. For after all, clothes are a rather personal matter. Men like to come here because they get good honest advice on what to wear.
We don't deserve all the credit, of course. About half of it must go to Society Brand Clothes. Ever wear them? None can approach their smartness! Try them. You'll soon come to think of Society Brand as your own personal clothes-makers—and of this store as your personal headquarters for buying clothes.
Make yourself at home!
SOCIETY BRAND CLOTHES
"We that live to please must please to live"
... so spoke Samuel Johnson when he opened a London theater some century and a half a go. Today it is even truer of the people who advertise to you.
Wheter merchants or manufacturers the permanent success of every advertiser who uses these pages rests squarely upon his ability to please you.
The goods he advertises must be right. They must meet your approval in open comparison. They must please you in utility, design, quality, value and service. If they don't, you won't buy. And if you won't buy, the advertiser can't live.
That's why advertised merchandise must be good merchandise—and that's why there is protection, true economy and real satisfaction in reading the advertisements and being guided by them.
Advertising guides you to products that please. Read it regularly.
