as the fish hawk flew away, and the

he saw Mamie Wagtail, the goat girl

looking out over the water and crying

Hello, there, Mr.. Bird!" CRIED

Pasadena Star-News: The teaching
profession has been given "a very not
able testimonial as to its dignity and
Importance by the statement of Dr.
David P. Barrows, in presenting his
resignation from the presidency of the
University of California. DR.. Barrows
SAYS that his reason for asking this
relief is my preference for the activi
ties and freedom of "A university teach
er rather than for the responsibilities
of an executive head of university.
DR.. Barrows, upon relinquishing thC
university, asks to be permitted to re
turn to the executive status of profes
sor of political science.
This attests, very eloquently, the cs-
TEEN in which the profession of the
teacher is held by this distinguished
educator. That men of such scholarly
attainments and such eminent station
as DR.. Barrows should thus testify to
the dignity, nobility and desirableness
of the work of higher instruction
should be exceedingly gratifying and
cnheartening to all who teach.
The proffered resignation of DR.
Barrows came as great surprise and
the university regents expressed deeE
regret, although the resignation was
accepted DIR. Barrows recently has
been mentioned in connection with the
race for nomination for United States
senator, but whether or not he would
consider entering actively into politics
has not been disclosed directly by Dr.
Barrows himself.

We Needn't Worry. -.
Fiction and the movies are vicarious
living. We live through them more
vivid, more dramatic, more satisfying
life than the fates have vouchsafed to
most of us. And one of the great
charms to the ordinary human being
who has enough drabness, enough anx-
icty about no wthings are coming out,
enough disappointment in his own life,
is the blessed certainty that he does not
need to worry about the story or pic
ture that the author will see that his
hero and heroine get their heart s desire
in the end.
And this is why ! do not wonder if
the high brow critic was right when he
said the editors were foolish to insist
that the majority of the stories they ac-
cept should end happily.

that the latter probably began his par

as men became men. Apparently, they
say, when the arboreal progenitors OF
the human family quit their tree homes
and adopted more refined habits of

evening.

Those old time actors we used so to
admire on the stage were hopelessly
old fashioned. Nearly all of them wor-
ried along with one wife and divorce
and remarrying the same week was an
undreamed of novelty. The trouble
with these old timers seems to have
been that they had traditions they
thought they had to maintain, and
nowadays movie stars are making their
own traditions.
