Searching for Shock.

There are 30 many instances where
speech and hearing have been restored
by a severe shock that there IL a gen.
eral notion among deaf and dumb per
sons that their saIvation rests In this
direction. Consequently they are re-
sorting to airplane trips as a means
Of restoring their functions. The man.
ager Of the air station at Croydon,
England, reports that he Is besieged
with requests from these afflicted per-
sons who are hopeful that an expert
ence In midair might supply the nee
essary shock. The parents of an az.
fiicted child brought their offspring TO
the station and made a request that
the child be taken aloft with the idea
Of possibly curing her, but aside from
the tonic effect upon the child there
was no other result. The child re-
turned to the ground In a very happy
frame Of mind and was delighted with
her experience. II has been suggest
ed that the trip alOft does not have
the desired effect for the reason that
the various experiences In the air are
more or less expected and therefore
the element Of suddenness and shock
are lacking.

UNWORTHY RULER OF ROME
History Aeeords Low Place to commo-
dus, Whom Fortune caprleIousIy
Lifted 70 High Estate.

Commodus was a Roman emperor,
notorious for his cruel and voluptu-
ous character. He was endowed with
extraordinary strength, and often ap-
peared In imitation Of Hercules,
dressed in a lions skin and armed
with a club. To display his skill and
strength in arms he appeared publicly
In the amphitheater. As his oppo-
rents were armed with weapons of tin
or lead, while he was encased In i'm
penetrable armor, he had naturally an
easy victory on every occasion. For
his amusement he cut asunder per
sons, put out their eyes, and mutilated
their noses, etc.
Commodus was strangled by the
gladiator Narcissus, who was hired
to commit the deed BY Marcia, the
mistress Of Commodus. who had
plotted with members Of his oficial
family, to put him out Of the way.
When he died the senate declared him
an enemy Of the state, ordered his
statues to be broken to pieces, and
his name to be erased from all public

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT

Who think too little and who talk
WTHAT would seem an indelicats
w or unsuitable subject for CONVEX
sation In one age would seem quite
! proper In another. Our ideas about
such things depend very much on the
period in which we live. The girl Of
today would never hesitate to bring
up and discuss In a more or less SCI
entific way matters Of human inter
est that our grandmothers would have
regarded as too shocking to be spoken
Of In their own rooms, and then in
q whisper. But those grandmothers
when they were young would have dis
eussed their petty household problems
and gossiped about their servants and
their neighbors in q way that the
girl Of today would regard as unpar-
donable.
'Since the war we talk about any
thing" a woman said a day or 80 ago
In apology for having brought up q
grewsome story at a dinner gathering.
Another woman suggested that II our
boys have been enduring such fright
full experiences as they have we GER
tainly ought not to feel sQueamish
about talking about these things. As
a matter Of fact, the boys who have
been through the worst do not usu-
ally want to dwell very long on such
subjects. Doctors and nurses returned
from overseas service almost never
recall their grewSOme experiences in
social intercourse, and assuredly it is
In very bad form TO force upon anyone
the ordeal of listening to grewsOme or
loathsOme experiences. But still there
are some people who delight in Just
this sort Of thing. They keep men,
bers Of their families and their host
esses on pins and needles, too, for fear
they will say something that is in bad
taste.
In one respect we have made rapid
strides Of late years. We are far less
inclined to mar the serenity Of din
ner party or other social gathering
by violent political discussion.
This much we learned during the
first months Of the European war. be-
fore we had weighed the situation In
Europe Ms q nation and when there
were sure to be violently opposed
points Of view on the whole subject.
In Washington society at that time
especially, II was really regarded a.
most Illbred to start a political dis
cussiOn. People avoided talking about
the war In social conversation. II waS
the only way that people could meet
each other and find any kind Of COM
fort or recreation in such Intercourse
Our greatest danger now Is In taking
the Joy out Of our conversations By
talking over the events and conditions
Of the war. Let's take this In hand
the way we took the matter Of politi-
cal differences before the war. Let's
make ND our minds not to bring up
and not to encourage In others sub
jects that are depressing or nerve
racking, save when by discussing them
We can effect some good

THOSE "GOFF" PLAYERS
Lady Not Up on the Game Writes
Letter to Superintendent
Usage Schools.

The Usage News had the following
last week, which no doubt will be of
interest to some of our local "Goff"
players:
"Supt. Geo. H. Sawyer of the Usage
schools received the following anony-
nous letter the first of the week:
Dosage, Iowa, Sept. II, 1929 Mr..
George Sawyer, Superintendent OF
Usage schools. What a response
bic position you are in and how the
boys and girls Of this city look to
you as an example to follow. Yes,
every one who are in the public
school have right to expect that
you could and should be moral and
Godfear.ng man. Also one who
would keep the ten comendments
layed down in holy Scripture.
Remember the Sabbath day and
keep it holy" do you keep it holy
by playing golf?
"How can you expect the boys
will keep away from ball games
when Professor Sawyer puts in his
afternoon playing games on Sunday.
"a few words of advice may do
some good and again it may not,
but if you could hear the boys talking
about it you would feel not so high
ly complimented by their verdict, of
keeping the Sabbath day quiet anc
holy.-Mother of boys and girls.
In, behalf of Mr.. Sawyer, we will
say this mother is evidently not up
on "goff." And the same applies
to the boys and girls she "hears
talking about it." We do not know
that we have ever heard our digni-
fed superintendent accused of lead
ing the young folks astray or set
ting a bad example for them. The
lady has evidently never frequent
ed the golf course, but has been
reading accounts of the tournaments
in the News. If she will read more
closely she will see that she is writ
ing to the wrong Mr.. Sawyer
that the Sawyer who plays "goff"
on Sunday is E. G. Sawyer. Our
superintendent of schools has not
yet become inoculated with the
"goff" germ, whose deadly effect
is so we'll known TO all who wallop
the little white pill and then chase
it in order to get another blow at it.
We are indeed glad to be able to
give the writer of the above letter
the information which will again in
stall Supt. Sawyer in the same high
regard he has evidently been hi d
before he was falsely accused
