day, he stated that it appeared that
Ut was due to stunt" flying to
which he is greatly opposed. The

flying was responsible, and that an
order may be issued preventing ar
NV aviators from flying over crowds.

FAULTY ENGLISH

All college men do not know how to speak and
write correct English. According to the report
of the committee on the use of English by stu
dents, there were 588 Harvard collegians who
needed special instruction last year.
The worst murderers of the Queens English"
were the unclassifed students who came from
other institutions. Thirty per cent of their num-
Der were up before the board for special work.
Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors came
next in that order.
The committee corrected 1856 regular under
graduates, eighty-one unclassfed students,
twenty-tw out-of-course men, thirteen special
students, four in the engineering school, sixty
nine in the business school, eleven graduates and
two divinity scholars.
Service in the trenches did not have any effect
on the students English. Although hundreds of
new words were coined by the boys" over across,
they seemed to forget all about them when they
returned to college. War service "has had M
bad effect on their use of English,
according to the report of the committee.
Professors in the classes, whether they teach
Slavic, mathematics, chemistry or anything else,
are obliged to report to the committee any stu
dent who does not use correct English in class.
That is the way Harvard is making the young
Americans speak their native tongue

DO NOT DODGE DIFFICULTIES

A. 7. Stewart, the famous dry goods merchant
liked to engage men who had failed in business
He reasoned that their difficulties had probably
taught them much.
Difficulties test.
Difficulties develop character
Difficulties help to make a man. just as blows
help to make steel.
Mothers darlings who are shielded and petted
and pampered rarely amount to much.
Examine the careers of the hundred formost
business men in America and you will find at least
so per cent of them had to battle their way
against extraordinary difficulties
Any -doar-a-week clerk can discharge
easy, routine duties.
Coleman du Pont whose achievements have
been unusually many-sided, once explained that
his interest in any enterprise waned Immediately
he had overcome all the difficulties of organizing
it and putting it a smoothly successful footing.
When one undertaking reached the easy stage,
then he turned to something beset with new and
difficult problems.
Edward L. Doheny, one Of the foremost oil fig
ures in the world, is similarly constituted. When
he had developed a property to the money max
ing stage-when, as he once remarked, There
was nothing left to do but draw in the profits" -
then he sold out and started on a new quest,
eager to pit himself against some new and diff
ficult situation.
There is more JOY in putting forth effort than
in gloating over easiy-won profits.
Difficulties make men.
Ease makes mollycoddles.
1t is harder to climb than to stroll along level
road or dawdle down hill
Difficulties are steppng-stones leading to the
top.
Therefore do not dodge them; do not run
away from them.

GOING SOME

Ii by chance you imagine that our American
women are backing in speed, your imagination is
clearly at fault.
Speed is one of their many long suits. In fact
they are becoming so speedy the men are gasping
in amazement and CONSERVATION over the pos
sbties Of the next fifty years.
Only few years ago we laughed at the absurd
idea" of any woman ever being allowed to vote
or hold public office on par with man. But
they are doing it now, and it doesn't seem to have
sent either the country or the people to the bow
vows.
Now women are preparing to have congress
amend the constitution in such a manner that they
will be given equal rights and privileges and be
placed on par with man in every respect and in
all things In other words, if they are successful
in their present undertaking the matter of sex
will disappear entirely far it relates to rights,
privileges and responsibilities
That would mean the eligibility Of women to
become mayors, governors, congressman, sena-
tors, judges, and even president Of the United
States.
No doubt the opposition will do some more
laughing at their presumption" but the laughter
will not be so long, or loud, or hearty
Because, you know we have the most charm
ing, intelligent and progressive women in the
world, and when they make up their minds to do a
thing they just simply speed up, and-it's done

GOES BANKRUPT
Thin Blood Saps Energy, Guides
PeptO-Mangan Rebuilds
the BlOdO

Wrestling with a weakened condi-
ton of the blood is desperate strug-
gle. Thin, watery blood deprives the
body of energy and causes a played
out feeling not unlike utter exhaus-
ton. A man with weak blood has not
the full use Of his powers. He lacks
decision, and vacillates until he loses
self-confdence.
Some men, and women too, go fall
tering along for months scarcely real
izing that they need Guides Pepto-
Mangan, the blood-builder But when
they have taken it for a while, what
difference there is in the feeling!
The old-time vigor and the red-blood-
ed hue of good health return. The
new rich blood gets to work, building,
terrifying, lifting the spirit up to its
normal standard. Physicians have
prescribed GUIDES Pepto-Mangan for
years as blood builder. Druggists
sell it in liquid and table form. Look
for the name "Gude's Pepto- Mangan"
on the package. Advertisement

WE DON'T KNOW

The chief of police of Chicago says one-hall
of the policemen in that city are booze runners
or bootleggers or engaged in some manner in the
illicit handling of booze.
Conditions may be as loose in other cities-but
we don't know.
They may be as bad in the less populated parts
of the country-but still we don't know.
Even the man we meet on the street may have
a flask in his pocket-and again we don't know.
But we do know that in the enforcement Of
prohibition Uncle Sam is up against the hardest
Job of his whole career.
1t has been the boast of the proud old gentle
man that he has never yet met defeat
He may make good that boast in the present
case, but
Candidly, it will be long time before we ever
know.
