K THE CAPTAIN.

While the sober Judge in Norfolk, Va. Whu gave
+ war veteran a $40 fine for thrashlng his former army
captain is certainly to be commended for UNFOLDING
the peace in thai just manner. most people probably
will hope that his honor did 1T with 2 smile.
Fer there were thousands of young men. not ruf-
fans either. who entertained just such belIigerent in
tentions toward their superior officers many a time
and oft in the camps of this country and in the trenches
of France. An arbitrary authority is not a thing that
sits We'll with Americans. and ii is little wonder that
resentment was frequently felt. 1t is to the credit OF
our soldiers that as a rule they did Just what Private
herman did. put OF licking the captain until the war
was over.
AT some time or other most boys swear that When
they grow up they viii give the teacher or the princi-
pal a beating. Few of them ever remember the vow.
Private Berman. IN another sphere. actually trained
two years so that he would be in condition to walIop
Captain Fink for a cuckoo. And he did. Though the
former captain is over six feet tall. and weighs 2IO
pounds. he ran from the onslaught of his former dough
boy.
Most OF the men who were disgruntIed on and on at
one shave-tail, top-kick. old man or another at some
time in their army career VIII now be far from think
ing as Private Fink has thought. They realize that II
wasn't always the fault OF the officer or the non-com
that he seemed oVer-bearing. One captain has got what
was coming to him, BY popular voice. Let his thrash
ing do for the others, too.

where fatigue Is excessive and prolonged the body
loses its resistance to disease and physical Ills become
frequent. But what we do need is some authoritative
information on how much is lost to US from fatigue,
and how serious on a national scale this affection may
become.
IN the matter of the Length, OF the work-day the
recent report OF the Health Service establishes definite
ly that the greater amount Of over-fatigues resulting
from the long work day brings more accident than
the normal work day. There is. we are told, apparently
in plant-production u law OF diminishing returns for
energy spent, and a point Is reached beyond which
labor becomes less profitable.
Significant, too, is the estimated loss from fatigue
to the 10000, 600 workers IN the United States. For
q reriod of 500 days the output Of 1900. 600 workers
is lost to us each year. At five dollars a day this totals
So. 400. 900. 900. Although this purports t. be q con
sentative estimate, even II il were an over-statenent
It is serious enough to consider.
The report Of the health service ought to lead "a
as q nation and as individuals to the consideration OF
the fact that fatigue producing conditions and pro-
ceses should be studied and eliminated whereve~ poss-
fbIe.

NOTICE 70
A SIMpLE INAUGURATION

When Thomas Jefferson went to the capitol at
Washington to be sworn in as PRESENT he rode his old
-e airrg Pennsylvania avenue unattended and tied
it to a fence in front OF the building. And because OF
this incident the name OF one who was really an aristo-
crat at heart has ever since been synonymous with
rugged simplicity and freedom from ostentation.
II is not in accord with the sincerity whioh is
the keynote OF his character for Mr.. Harding to make
any grand stand play Of his democratic aversion TO
IS merely an expression Of egotism, but his request
that the proposed elaborate celebration Of his inau-
turation be Abandoned s in entire keeping with his
modest personality. The reasons he presents are sound
and cogently stated: 1T IS timely and wholesome to
practice the utter denial OF public expenditure where
there is no real necessity. and It will be a wholesome
exabple Of economy and thrift if we save the many,
many thousands which the inaugural celebration would
draw from the private purse Of those attending"
1t augurs well for the restoration of a policy az
wise economy in governmental affairs policy thai
Is SO much needed-that Mr.. Harding should take
such a stand at this time. His decision will be pleasing
to the majority CT all the people of the country and
applauded accordingly. Not that we are grudging Or
deficient in desire to properly pay the highest respect
70 our president. even to the extent of public display
Of some ~splendor. Nor that we count the dollars that
would be spent and withhold them through parsimony.
We expect TO make public our deepest respect to Presi-
dent Harding, but the plain mass Of Americans with
him believes that a demonstration Of splendcr which
may be extravagant is not essential to the occasion.
There will be disappointment in certain circles at
Washington which had been looking for an Inaugural
ton with circus and vaudeville trimmings and some
spectators viii mourn over the paper PROFITS they have
lost, but Mr.. Harding's attitude will be generally com
nended. If economy is TO be the motto Of his admins.

CLASSES COMPETE
 IN COURT CONTEST

The various classes at Hendrix have begun basketball practice pre- ceding the annual tournament which will begin next week. Letter men will not be allowed to play on the class teams, but will continue to practice and will play the winners of the class games.
 Prospects for basketball this year are better than in many years. With four letter men back for their places and a host of good new material and second string men who will fight for their places, even the letter men will be given a scrap for their positions. Hawley, forward, is captain; John Thompson, center; Schisler, forward, and Boone, guard, are the letter men who were back. Coach Jones has four games booked already and will complete the schedule as soon as possible, trying to get games with some of the best teams in the south.
