In conversation with a student at

worst forms Of cheating. This young

the instructor was quoted as having
told one OF the students that he not
only wasn't surprised at the use Of
help but knew that it was going on
under his nose.
The student went on to tell me that
the common attitude Of the other
pupils was that If, in their own minds,
the professor was giving an unfair"
examination the practice of cheating
was considered fair. No amount OF
reasoning on my part could dissuade
him from this viewpoint.
To the young mind. which sets up
It's teacher as a mental and moral pre-

anything detrimental.
From the first step, taken thus in
the schoolroorn, is only n very short
distance to the committing of other
and more serious crimes.
If we can not trust our teachers

the impressionable stage, there Is sure
ly little hope for the standards of the
coming generation to be higher.

NEW YORK. Sept 15-The exist

miners in the coal industry constitutes
periodical national danger, Secre-
tary Of Commerce Hoover declared in
an address before the salesman's as
ISOLATION Of the American chemical in

Creation of a national coal commits
sion proposed in legislation now pend
ing in Congress will be the first step
in the solution of one of the Nations
most vital problems. Hoover said.
Welfare Hampered
1.-THE present relationship Of en-
ployer and employee in the industry
comprises a periodical national dan
ger, because with national organiza-
ton and national disagreement, 1t
means national stoppage," said Hoover.
"In the end the issues of the struggle
are consciously or unconsciously i'm
posed by pinching the welfare Of
ninety-nine per cent of the community
who are not parties to the quarrel
And through subsequent prices the
public pays the bill. The public there
fore has right to a voice in this
whole business"
FavOrs Investigation
Secretary Hoover said he thought 4
thorough investigation Of the coal in
dustry would disclose that collective
bargaining, Cancellation, and arbitra-
ton have all broken down.
Periodical tie-ups have resulted in

BERLIN, Sept. 15.-The Hohenzol-

LONDON, Sept. ia daring
scheme to explore British New
Guinea is shortly to be undertaken by
the British expedition. The interior
Of the island has never been traversed
by a white man.
Gold and diamonds are known to ex-
list, but nothing is known Of its
fauna. Fierce tribes of cannibals and
nead-hunters roam the interior.
Lucius Connolly, one Of the or
ganizers Of the expedition, described
the inhabitants along the seaboard as
men Of splendid physique although a
large number of pigmy communities
are known to exist inland.
Tree Climbing KangarOOs
Tree-climbing kangaroos really ex-
ist and there are stories Of wild pigs
resembling miniature elephants and
ferocious climbing .iguanas.

sounds like a cross between Treasure

the country is capable of tremendous

Gold Along Rivers
Along the banks and at the mouths
of it's rivers, alluvial gold has been
found in quantities which lead ex-
perts to believe vast deposits exist in
the interior.
There are weIl-authenticated stories
Of adventurous traders in recent years
having received from natives mag
nif1cent diamonds. The island
abounds in volcanoes which invar-
iably indicate diamond producing ca
pacity. Most of them are believed ex-
tinct but one remains in almost con-
slant eruption. The natives from
time immemorial have worshiped this

Is that more people on foot are not
MANNED or killed at our street cross
ings. as the signal men seem to pay
no attention to them. Having to cross
Chic st. at Pennsylvania st. every
evening I never feel reasonably sure
of getting home alive until I negoti-
ate that deathtrap, and that is what it
IS going to prove to some one soon
unless the traffic men slow up on their
antics.
At present, their motto seems to be
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry" They practi-
cally force drivers to violate the speed
law at this intersection during the
rush hours of noon and evening.
Wheel traffic turned loose from in
front Of the Denlson Hotel splits three
ways frequently-some going north on
Pennsylvania, some down the ave-
nue. route and a few make abrupt
turns into Ohio St., east. No one
can judge this traffic movement, and
If you are caught south of the tracks
on Massachusetts Ave. you are in
danger of your life.
Good safe men were removed from
these posts and younger men substi-
tuted because somebody had an idea
they could wave their arms faster
than the older men. Well, I'll say
they can; but why not go farther and
substitute automatic dummies, if
speed is all that is wanted?

TOXIC, Sept. 15.-Japan has al
ready taken the punch out of the bat
tleships which she will scrap under
the terms of the Washington naval
limitation agreement.
The turrets have been taken away
that is, the fangs, the f1ghting-part,
removed-from the giant warcraft
doomed to the junk pile by the Wash
ington pact.
This was done by Japan in advance
Of final ratification Of the treaties by
all the signatory powers.
However, although for practical pur-
poses Japan has already commenced
compliance with the agreement, she
will not complete the junl1ing process,
nor tear up the hulls, until the last
Of this year or the first part of next
treaty or until Japan, America and
Great Britain agree, regardless of
France, to carry out the naval agree
ment
1t has been learned from official
sources that Japan expects France to
ratify-but that If France does not,
Japan is ready and willing to fulfill
it with America and England.
Japan Will spend more than ten

Stop Work on Ships
Four other ships, under construc.
ton when the Washington conference
met, have already been "scrapped" by
the simple expedient of stopping
work upon them. They will never be
completed. Two other ships will be
converted from fighting craft to air
plane carriers. Thus sixteen battle
ships and cruisers are withdrawn from
Japan's sea?-war strength. Ten Of
these, in existence are to be scrapped:
four, which were under construction.
will not be completed; two will be
changed from battleships to airplane
carriers.
More than 1900 sailors and Off
GERS will be discharged from service,
with the junlIing Of this 5000 tons of
Japanese fighting craft.
OF this tonnage, roughly, 1875 900
tons represents the cruisers and bat

165, 900 tons the ships which were I'M

IF YOU ARE WELL BRED

You know that conversation IS a
social art and must be cultivated.
Hence you do not constantly repress
the speech of your children, but you
teach them the value Of conversation
instead Of prattle.
You converse with them as you
would with other persons, drawing
out their ideas and encouraging them
to express themselves. Their ability
to converse well will rob them of the
self.consciousness that marks 50
many social failures.
