HATS MAY BE ISSUE
In SENATORIAL RACE
Gov. Blease Of South Carolina Would
Pit His Wool Against "Plus"
of E. ID. Smith.

Cole Livingston Blease, GEORGETOWN
University graduate. but now the highly
advertised Governor of the State OF
South Carolina, has broken into the lime
light once more, this time at the expense
of Senator Ellison d. Smith, the Junior
member of the United States Senate from
the Palmetto State.
And it's all about a hat. Cole BIease
has hit upon the novel scheme of having
some badges printed depicting two hats,
one plain, ordinary wool hat" which
he claims he wears, and the other a
plug hat, and have them distributed
among the voters.
But Senator Smith is not worrying
about the hat question. The farmers of
the Palmetto State are his friends and
know that coming to Washington for
them has not sweIled his head. 1t is
thought Blease desires to convey the i'm
preston among the farmers that Senator
Smith, since coming TO Washington, has
quit wearing the ordinary hat for the
plug"
Washington friends Of Senator Smith
see no difference in his personal appear
ance now than when he came here over
four years ago. At present Senator Smith
is at Columbia, s. c.. attending the State
Fair.

WHEN WE TELEPHONE
By FRANCES sHAFFER.

Isn't IT true that sooner or later, some
how or another. somewhere or other,
regular patrons of the telephone flash
bit Of themselves over the line? With
some, nothing ever escapes them but
courteous and patience and tolerance;
while with a boorish fraction, one never
knows what to expect.
And this morning-well he Is a mighty
cross man. whoever he IL.
Because he happened to be a bit busy.
worried, or something or other. that Is
no excuse at all for swapping one up like
surly old bear just for little mistake
in the number. Beside. II was not the
woman's blunder at all And II she knew
his name she would like to print IL out
in big. bold letters, for he has no more
right to be irritable and peevish and rude
when the length of a long wire is be-
tween than IL he were speaking face to
face. Because the effect is there, just
the same-and IL is horribly disturbing.
But II does not take very much to
make some cross folk lose their men,
tai equilibrium, particularly when they
do not guess, or maybe do not care. who
1t is that hears them.
When the sharp little bell rings out its
insistent call, one who stands at the
other end of the line never knows what
great work IL may be interrupting: but
the telephone was made TO interrupt and
to speak out all Of a sudden. And human
being were made to be just little bit
patient
When one tries to be as exact, as brief
and as sweet-as she knows how to be,
IL is very disconeerting to have an i'm
patient answer flash back, as IL the work
Of the universe had been stayed by the
call. 1t is disconeerting, and more than
that because il makes one want 10 pay
in similar ugly coin, though, Of course,
she can only say. Beg pardon as
suavely as she can.
And impatience discourtesy, and a bit
OF badGish temper over the telephone,
like impatience. discourtesy. and temper
anywhere else. have a way of hurting
the speaker far more than any one else.
Because one is very likely TO inquire to
whom the cross voice belongs. and then
the word quickly enough passes along.
And there are not very many who want
a reputation for surliness, whether IL Is
displayed on the wire or anywhere else.
And besides, no man, however busy. or
nervous, or tired, he may be, can afford
to forget that civilized folk are at least
halfway polite and that the considerate
half of the world pleasantly remembers
the small courtesies that take some OF
the tiredness away from the stress of the
days.
OF course he can forget II he likes and
can grow as cross as he pleases, but
grouchiness always reacts in the end.
Each one of us is small enough
factor in the world, and individual af-
fairs do not count very heavily: but.
after all, when folk must touch elbows.
when voice must meet voice, and per-
haps tiredness brush against tiredness.
the manner OF contact makes a mighty
big difference. And at such times we
may not be so small as we seem, at least
not in the way Of the effect that carries.

woman called a telephone number that

ASSOCIATION PROPOSES
SCHOLASTIC COURSE CUT
Two Years Are Wasted in Present
Plan Of Education, Declares
President Baker.

There is a waste OF at least two years
In the present plan Of American educa-
ton. This is the conclusion reached by
a committee of prominent educators in q
report on Economy of Time in Educa-
tom just issued by the United States
Bureau OF Education.
This conclusion follows an investiga.
ton lasting nearly ten years by a com.
mittee OF the National Education Asso-
ciation, of which President James H
Baker, OF the University OF Colorado. Is
chairman.
The committee have endeavored to form
a plan that would do away with the
two-year loss. They propose that six
years be assigned TO the elementary
school instead of eight as at present; that
the high school period be from age twelve
to eighteen, divided into two parts, OF
four and two years each; that college
work extend from eighteen to twenty, OF
sixteen to twenty. according TO the meth
cd of distributing the last two secon.
dairy years, and that graduate or pro-
fessional work at a university cover the
years from twenty to twenty-four.
This would enable boys and girls tC
get ample vocational training after the
age of twelve; it would enable those/whc
go on to college to get through theiI
college work at the age Of twenty. and II
would save the professional man from
having to wait until twenty-seven to start
his professional career.
The report insists that the present ele-
mentary course is too long; that tht
ground now covered in eight years car
be covered just >as efficiently in six, al
lowing secondary work to begin at the
age Of twelve.
Emphasis is laid on the necessity OF
concentrating on few valuable studies

she felt quite sure was right, but the
answered courteously came back: You

herself, she called again, only to meet
the same mild response. For the third
,, time the same call rang out. with the
voice I'm response as calm and as sweet
as ever. though OF course IL was a mis-
take ON the part of the woman. When
she tardily realized that the fault was
hers she went back to her work with
the conviction that while it pays to be
accurate, IL also pays. when the work Of
the day is measured up. to be a bit
tolerant and goOd-natured over the small
discomforts that come. Because she
knew very well that IL some peevish folk
had been at the other end of the line
they would have made her unpleasantly
conscious of her bIunder.
And IL is strange how these little
things nave a way OF changing the tone
OF the hour, from peaceful to disturbed.
and back again.
And have, you noticed that, as a RUE.
il takes more time and spirit to grow
cross and upset and make other folk
cross and upset than II does to abide by
the pleasanter way? And II certainly
has a sorrier effect.

rested in a barn. News Of their presence
soon spread, and fully fifty visitors
called at the place with food and cloth

The weary men remained in this provi-
