HUMAN FACE IS CHANGING.
Scientists Say Mouth Is Moving To-

Scientists Say Mouth is Moving To-
ward the Left Ear.
1t has been discovered that the
human mouth is slowly but surely and
steadily moving toward the left Of the
face, which will in time bring 1t some
where in the neighborhood Of the left
ear. All the five great races OF man
have an uncomfortable tendency to
eat only with the teeth which grow
from the left jaws. This wears out
the left teeth more rapidly than those
or the right side of the mouth, and
this in turn gives the upper and lower
jaws an inclination towards the left
1t is the expressed opinion OF many
scientists who are foremost in the
worlds roll Of professional honor that
in the course Of time the mouth, from
causes above mentioned, will have
completely changed its position, and
that It will then be situated rather
nearer to the left ear than to the nose.

A KIND OF UNIONIsM.


Topeka State Herald.
Why do so many public officials consider
a public Office a private snap in so many
WAYS? The State Journal yesterday showed
that out of fifty-six state officers and en-
ployes in the principal state Offices, twenty
nine were absent from their duties while
only twenty-seven were at work. In other
words, more than half OF the people en-
ployed by the State in these offices were at
tending TO business other than that for
which they are paid by the State
great noise has been made because
Price Raid Commissioners Allen drew pay
for the first three months of his work
without even opening an Office at the State
house. which was perfectly proper. Senator
Allen was eXcusable for not being present
in his office while he was sick. but to neg
lect his work for three months was mex
cusable. Nearly every other state officer,
however, is guilty of the same thing in a
greater or less degree. Some of the state Off
cials spend as much of their time attending
to their private business as they do to the
work of the State, and very few work as
hard at their public duties as they would a.
their private business.
Public servants should, of course. have
their breathing spells, and people who work
for the State should have their vacations
the same as though working for private in
diyiduals but there seems TO be a disposi-
ton to overdo the matter. 1t is probably
useless to expect the same diligence in per-
sons who hold public offices as one would
expect from them If they were attending
strictly To their private business and it
does no good to scold about 1T, but people
who have business TO attend to in public
offices and who have come a long distance
TO transact IL have a right to find enough
officials in their offices to look after affairs
and not compel them to make another trip.
There are, or course, people who are lust
as conscientious in working for the public
as for themselves, some, perhaps, more so
They are at their desks early and late and
take no vacations except when they have
honestly earned them. Such should have
especial credit.

WABASH COLLEGE.
Bright Outlook for Scholastic Year
Increased Attendance.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CRAWFORDSVILLE,I Ind, Sept. 1.-THE
outlook for the coming year at Wabash is
especially encouraging to the faculty, also
TO the students. The professors have been
quite busy arranging schedules. answering
correspondence and the such.
BY the correspondence that has been re-
ceived and the enrolment far to-day. it
looks as II Wabash will start out with at
least 200 students. The freshmen class will
number between seventy and seventy-fve.
A fact that speaks most highly of Wabash's
rank as an educational factor is that Presi-
dent Kane has received correspondence
from several high schools, mostly of Indi-
ana, asking for Wabash students and grad
yates to serve as teachers in the respective
high schools. He received twenty more calls
than he could fill.
Another fact that brightens the outlook is
that the college is receiving an abundant
supply OF athletes. This is especially en-
cOuraging to the students.
The football squad is practicing both in
the morning and afternoon for their first
game with the Shortridge High School OF
