with his mother. Mrs w. F. Brandt at
Pcstville, Iowa, won the Distinguished
Service Cross for conspicuous bravery
in action northeast of Verdun, France,
October 16, 1918. After his company
had been in action three days, during
the attack on the Cote de Chatillon
and was to be relieved, Corporal
Brandt volunteered to guide the COM
pany to a position of security in the
rear which he had selected. While
the relief was being made under shell
fire, this soldier and four others were
severely wounded by a bursting shell.
Realizing that his wound would prove
fatal, Corporal Brandt while being car
ried on stretcher indicated the route
to be taken by the company, being
wounded in the face and scarcely able
to talk. Through his extraordinary
fortftude and will power, the company
was able to reach it's position over
difficult terrain and under enemy fire.
Corporal Brandt died from his wounds
the next day.

WHEN COPS
WALK OUT

We may congratulate ourselves in
Grand Rapids that we do not employ
large police force. If the sheriff of
the county went on strike, it would
probably not result in promiscuous
looting by hoodlums up and down the
streets.
This has been the condition in Bos-
ton, where the police force recently
declared a strike; and all the local
toughs and hard-boiled eggs went out
on window smashing expedition
If we have need for police action on
a grand scale in Grand Rapids, all
that is necessary is to muster a posse
of amateur policemen, who do not
belong to union, and are not likely
to strike. They will simply do the
job that is to be done, and return to
their ordinary avocations upon dis
missial
We have this advantage over places
like Boston, Chicago, New York, and
other large towns, with us law and or
der form part of everybody's RESPONSE
bility Enforcement of the law is not
a trade in which few professionals
specialize. We are all ready to do po-
lice work here, because it is natural
for us to insist on public orderliness-
not because we are paid to maintain it.

COLLEGES WORRIED OVER
LOW WAGE FOR TEACHERS
Educational Institutions Unable to
Hold Professors Because of
Too Small Pay

With the Wisconsin Colleges Asso-
ciated actively engaged in making
plans for statewide campaign for
funds for the smaller colleges of the
state, the following comment from the
New York World is interesting:
HAS the war given a new status to
college professors? Popular opinion
of their practical abilities had hereto
fore contained an element of scepti-
cism, which is now pretty generally
dispelled by the exhibition of COM
petence in many fields of service out
side of their class-rooms. In the
words of former President Strayer of
the National Education Association,
the war has actually created mar
ket for college professors. Go over
the lists of professors and administra-
tive officers and you will find some of
the biggest names in the story of the
achievements of the war.
1.-THE effect is inevitably to inspire a
competition which the colleges must
meet through larger salaries if they
are to retain the services of teachers
OF the first rank. Men of superior en-
dowments whose ambition was limited
to university honors have matched
minds with men in other pursuits in
the common service of their country.
and the result has been to prove their
powers under conditions which natur-
ally dispose them to keep on in the
larger field. One department at Co
lumbia University has lost a dozen
good men to positions with business or
semi-publ1c concerns
Love Of their work will always tend
to turn the scale toward the college
In men who possess the teaching
spirit. But colleges must pay profess
sors adequate salaries if they are to
keep their faculties filled with COM
petent men who know that there is a
more remunerative market for their
talent in the business world"

Sergeant Sandlin was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action at Bots

GEORGE S. ROBB,
First Lieutenant, 36eth infantry.

TTSl EtCbIOfldiiky S00Ati Hi ciihi
For conspicuous gallantry, beyond
the call of duty, near Sechault, France,
September % and 80, Lieut.. Robb
was awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. While leading his platoon
in the assault on Sechault, Lieut.. Robb
was severely wounded by machine gun
fire, but rather than go to the rear for
proper treatment, he remained with
his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding Off
Ger. Returning within forty-five min
utes, he remained on duty throughout
the entire night, inspecting his lines
and establishing OutpOStS. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
vOtiOn to duty by remaining in COM
mand Of his platoon. Later the same
day a bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
Of his company. He then assumed
command of his company, and organ
lied it's position in the trenches. Dis
playing wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times, he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine gun and sniping
posts, contributed largely to the aid
of his battalion in holding their OBJ
jective. His example of bravery and
fOrtitude and his eagerness to con-
tinue with his mission despite severe
wounds, set before the enlisted men
of his command a most wonderful
standard of morale and self-sacrifce.
Lieut.. RObb's home address is 30S
South Twelfth street, Salina, Kan,
where his mother lives.

PAINT AND ILLITERACY.
Curious Fact Comes to Light That 10.
calities Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington, D. ca curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
cational Bureau and the Bureau of In
dustrial Research here. 1t Is that in
the states where illiteracy is most
prevalent paint is least used The
paint referred to Is the common or
barn variety, OF course, for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments
1t is true, though, that in the sections
Of all states where white illiteracy is
highest painted homes are rare and
painted outbuildings and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illiterates do not use paint on their
buildings because they do not under
stand its value as a preservative.
