Donald Wagner, Hero.

Iowa City Citizen: There are
heroes in the making all about us. One
of them went to his death few days
ago. Donald Wagner, the Iowa Univer-'
sity freshman who was drowned in the
Des Moines river last Saturday, exhibit
ed in his last moments the real
strength of his character.
The skiff in which he and his COM
panions were riding was upset in
the deep water of the river, and
Wagner found himself and one Of the
young ladies near the overturned
boat. He assisted her to get hold of 1t
and then, observing how their COM
bined weight pulled 1t down, he de-
liberately dropped away from it in the
swift current of the river, saying that
it would net hold both. and bidding his
companion hold on with all her
strength.
1t may be thought he felt confident
of his own ability to reach the shore.
1t is true he made adesperate effort
to do so, but sank after few strokes.
The fact. as told by his friends, is that
he could not swim. Some incident
of his boyhood had given
him aversion to the water.
and although an athlete in
other respects he had never learned
the useful art of swimming. So it is
certain that when he said goodbye to
the girl clinging to the boat, If he
thought of himself at all, he knew that
he was deliberately giving up most OF
the chance for his life, that his friend
might be saved
Men give UP many things for others
as they journey along, but the
supreme sacrifice is life itself This
splendid young fellow, with a career
of great promise just opening before
him. with the music OF life sweet In
\ his ears, without an instants hest
4 tation put 1t all behind him and wen'
nobly- to his death.
Great things may be said of tis
1 powers and the character of Donald
Wagner, of what his future might have
1 been had he lived: but none so grea
as the simple recital of that instan
choice he made when the test came
thereby enrolling himself in the I'm
counted list of the worlds heroes.

DR.. Julia Seton Sears, who has
made quite reputation as meta
physician, advises mothers to play
the piano to their children when they
are disobedient instead of furnishing
them. She tells the mother to play
things that the child knows, as its
emotions are not as responsive to I'M
familiar airs. Worry, anxiety, care
and irritability may be cured in this
way, certain classes of music having
the proper soothing power. In view,
however, of the kind of music some
mothers would produce it is possible
that the courts would rule against
Mrs. Sears method as involving an
unusual and cruel form of punish
ment.

Tests were recently made in st.
Paul to determine whether or not the
use of electric headlights on locomo-

we're obliged to face the powerful

and could not distinguish between red
and green. From this fact 1t would
appear that you can sometimes get
too much of a good thing.
