Do you believe in progress? Do

achievements of the nineteenth cen-

man who lives forty years under
modern conditions has experienced
more life and better life than Methu-

centuries of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth
century were triumphs of human SER
vice-the placing of knowledge and
the fruits of knowledge within the
reach of the common man. Every
mans life is better, happier, more Sc

a minor matter. yet it gives beauty,

The Motor Horn,

The suggestion made the other day
that the motorist, in the interest of
the public safety, should he deprived
of his horn, had something in it of
the quality of paradox, but it is evil
dent that 1t also had in it something
of the quality of truth. In some
places horn blowing by motorists is
a nuisance, and, speaking of it, the
secretary of the Automobile Club
has Just said to an interviewer: Let
me tell you emphatically that the
less horn blowing there is the more
and careful will be the
driving" He also says that there
is far too much blowing of motor
horns, and declares himself ready to
undertake a motor journey from the
East End of London to the West and
not blow the horn once. "Of course"
he adds, 81 should have to slow up,
but that really does not matter" In
simple fact, the part played by the
horn on many motor cars Is to trans
fer all obligation to take care from
the driver to the other person. A
variant of well-known formula
would suit his casc-"I blow the
horn; you do the rest" Dundee

AN OXFORD STUDENT
A GLIMPSE OF COLLEGE LIFE
IN ENGLAND.
An American Students Impression Of
the Famous NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and Not cramming - The
Air Of Ease.

The first thing that strikes an Amer
lean student beginning study at this IA
nous university, is that everything is
so awfully English, you know.
There is the hospitality, there is the
daily afternoon tea, and there is the
wine drinking. Also, what specially inn
presses the American is the large ease,
the time enough-very different from
the strenuousness of many seats Of
learning.
We were not a little interested in
reading a recent article on "Our Rhodes
Scholars at Oxford" and noting what
impression the air of ease had made on
one American student. This young gen.
tleman observes: "lf a man seeks for
mere book learning it would perhaps be
wiser for him to go to Chicago Paris or
Heidelberg-where he can have his
wants served strictly la carte in mod
ern style-than to come to Oxford.
What Oxford has to give student is of
nature quite different from what any
American, French or German university
can offer" And then the writer goes
on to tell us that the oxford degree does
not mean that so many dusty tones have
been digested, as that a life of singular
suggestiveness, charm and potency has
been lived for at least three years." One
gathers that the Oxford atmosphere
makes for culture, that this culture must
be absorbed, cannot be bolted.
He mentions that not few of the
American Rhodes scholars have found
fault with conditions that allow a man
to shirk if he has mind that way, and
grants that the man may shirl1 for a
reason, but sooner or later will have to
make up for lost time-that is, If he de-
sires to get a degree of the sort to which
any honor at all attaches. At oxford
there are pass schools and honor schools,
the former apparently designed for
those that wish to procure a degree at
very little trouble. But a pass degree is
not we'll esteemed, and student with
any ambition at all tries for the degree
in the honor schools.
The tutor system is considered a
most excellent feature of Oxford life.
a student beginning work of his final
school is assigned to tutor who con-
tinues his special guide and mentor
until his degree is received. The tutor
advises the student as to the work he
ought to do, the lectures attend, and
gives him long list of books; once a
week the tutor meets his group of stu

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years Of
Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr..
J. B. Massey, of 1922 Clinton St.,
Minneapolis, MINI. was tortured by
sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time
is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until
he used Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
One application of that liniment re-
lieved the pain and made sleep and
rest possible, and less than one bottle
has effected permanent cure. Mr..
Massey relates his experience Tor the
benefit of others who may be SINH
larly afflicted. If troubled with
sciatica or rheumatism why not try
25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see
for yourself how quickly it relieves
the pain. For sale by L. L. Elgin
