Excerpts from the report of the special commits
sion appointed by Governor Mechem to make
vey of New Mexicos higher institutions of learning
printed elsewhere in this issue of the Journal gives
high praise to the men who at the head of these
institutions. They classed men who COM
bine real business ability with the highest qualifi
cations educators" The state is indeed fortunate
TO have of much higher caliber in such respon-
sible positions, and the institutions under their
guidance making rapid progress.
Building needs of the nine institutions covered
in the report reach total OF i94750S. This
seems like appalling sum, but it must be remem-
bered that the demands upon the institutions are
growing; the number OF students enrolled each year
is increasing and it naturally follows that prepare
tons must be made to take of the increase, and
while this is being done it would be we'll to build
for the future not for the present alone In other
words while there is occasion for being extrav-
agant and spending money for additions on a huge
scale careful consideration should be given to The
possible needs for some years to come and build
accordingly
OF course consolidation of the several insttu-
lions will not be recommended 1t would be useless
to attempt to put through such program now
However II is too bad that some thought was not
given to this important matter before the insttu-
tons were established 1t Is quitely likely that
combination could have been effected which would
have enabled them to have been operated at less
expense without mpairing their efficiency in the
least.
At any rate, when the legislature meets next
January the members will have something tangible
10 work on. The information has been collected by
reputable men and women, whom the legislators
can rely.

FORDING 1T
Across the Continent With Mrs.
Putnam.
West Broadway" by Nina Wilcox
lE..D.t.rr.. Ilnrnn

West Broadway" by Nina Wilcox
Putnam. George IL. Doran.
East is east and west is West
Broadway, according to the formu-
la employed by Nina Wilcox Put
nam in her rollicklng novel of
transcontinental travel. 1t is n
long street reaching from the Bow
cry to the Golden Gate, with one
night stands at Baltimore, Column
bus, st. Louis, Kansas City, Car
den City, Ration, Albuquerque, the
Grand Canyon, Needles and a host
of other spots to which the western
ear is well tuned.
When the first installment OF
her novel appeared in the Satur-
day Evening Post, one of the wise
ones said to me:
"It'll be novel of New York
life. She's pretty smart to know
that street. 1t is the old one that
joys off Broadway down abou:
Union Square. Wonder how she
ever heard of it, he concluded,
blushing with modesty over his
own intelligence.
But somehow he had her wrong.
West Broadway is the way the
California to the west coast. The
the east to the west coast. The
Peterkins travelled it in their Ford
car with eight passengers and two
stacks of baggage adjoining the
running boards--the sincerest bit
of realism ever written about trans
continental travels Is Mrs. Put
MANS portrayal of their journey
ings. There is no doubt that the
material for the story was gath
cred first hand. The experiences
are described too exactly. The pre-
liminary shopping, packing and I'M
packing only to pack again; the
driver with four sets of chains who
would rather skid than put them
on; the garage men who always
know another road better than the
other road--for their business: the
joys of a broken spring, than which
there is no whicher; the rare beau
ty of town when glimpsed at
night after hours of weary travel
ing-these bits are dear to the
heart of the fraternity who have
done It,
She had read Polyanna just be-
fore writing the book, though.
Folks who pull one out Of the mud
don't always forget to set a price
and ranchers rarely serve iced wa :
termelon and free gasoline to tour
lists. However. her description of
the Illinois mud is sufficiently i'm
pressive to show anyone why the
pioneers called their wagons "prai-
/ RE schooners."
| It's fine book. taken as a whole
and the best part of 1t Is that its
author appreciated New Mexico.

"oRoss CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY"

nationwide campaign to impress upon the
people the importance OF using great care when
crossing railroad tracks at grades was inaugurated
June and will continue until September 80. The
campaign is being conducted by the safety section
of the American Railway association The plan has
been given the endorsement of President Harding
in the following letter:
My attention has been called to the fact
that under the auspices of the American Rail-
way association intensive campaign is to be
waged for eliminating accidents at railroad
crossings
1.-The complete of such effort
would mean the saving OF thousands of lives,
the prevention of many more thousands of In
juries and incidentally the prevention of great
property loss OF course the ideal solution
is elimination of grade crossings, to which all
possible energy and means should be unceas-
ingly directed. But the extent of country
and its railroad mileage make apparent that
not for many years of utmost effort could this
be effected There should be constant pres
sure for elimination Of these danger spots, par
ticulary in the more populous areas. pending
which there is need for just the kind of pre-
ventive effort that your association is planning.
Among these measures, the most effective
would to be to arouse in the minds OF
drivers of their personal responsible
ties. When thoughtlessness is allowed to usurp
the scene is set for tragedy. Reminders, and
still more reminders of the need of caution at
railway crossings needed.
surely the effort you are undertaking is
appealing, and it ought to have the most gen.
erous and general support"
Everybody should adopt the campaign slogan

the railroad tracks before the train along

Bennett Maln" by Elsie singmaster,
Houghton Mlfflin, 81.
There is something about living
in the shadow of great mountains.
such as the Sandals to the east Of
town, that prevents most men from
taking themselves too seriously.
Bennett Malin, principal character
of Elsie Singmaster's latest novel,
took himself seriously and made a
horrible mess of his life.
In the first place he felt "called,"
as he said, to writing. In his in
nermost soul he thought he had a
great message for mankind. He
thought that the world needed men
who took themselves seriously. So
he conscientiously set out to be as
serious an ass as only theological
student can be.
He also felt "called" to the min
istry. He thought that herein lay
chance to command the respect
of his neighbors, most of whom
feared hell-fire too much to smirk
at the great man who took him
self seriously. He thought, too,
that the ministry offered him a
fair living without too much eff
fort, and also, what he called lei
sure for study and contemplation.
Goodness, how he dotted on the
value of serious contemplation.
But this calf to the ministry
lasted only until his uncle died
and left the great serious man
enough money to contemplate on
for the rest of his life, If he were
careful. without devoting any Of
his precious thoughts to the sordid
business of making a living.
Here is the way he proposed 10
the girl he wanted to marry:
81 think clergyman should
be married. | wish to marry,
and have come this evening,
Miss Naomi. to ask you to be-
come my wife. l can assure
you that I like you very
much"
Then he says that 1t Is nine thir
ty and he must get back to his
contemplating.
He studied everything but men,
so of course his writing didn't
amount to anything. He said thai
Dickens and Scott had their faults;
that they left plenty of room for
improvement.
But somehow the publishers ia
whom he offered his great serious
works didn't seem to think much
of them. In fact, they didn't even
write letters. They Just sent re.
lection slips. So Bennett drifts on
taking himself more seriously ey.
cry day. and writing from sunur
to sunset about things Of which he
had little or no knowledge. This
words flow, he said, from his inner.
most soul.
The story Of Bennett Malin Is in
teresting. 1t deals with a phase O,
psychology that reformers and pco
pie with messages for mankinc
don't understand--or they'd reform
themselves bit.
Serious people, much given Z,

ed Kittie Kat, the pussy girl, one
day, as she went hippity-hop past
the bunny rabbit, who was stand
ing in front of his hollow stump
bungalow.
well, I hope you aren't going
to scratch anybody with those
claws of yours, Kittie Kat" spoke
Uncle Wiggily. For well he knew
that the pussy girl.had sharp claws
under her velvet paws.

II hope that doesn't happen"
exclaimed Uncle Wiggily, and he
stopped twinkling his pink nose TO
look over his shoulder, making sure
neither of the bad animals was
anywhere near him, But this

going to do, Kittie Kat" went on
the bunny gentleman. LET me
see, are you going to SCHOOL,"
YES, of course, for it isn't vaca-

But after that I'm coming home
and going to bake a cream cake.

clapped her paws for joy.

at will, and I'll give you Slice"

I'll take it home and make cake.
And after you hop around and

to my house Ill give you a slice
of cake"
THANK you, Kittie Kat" said
Uncle Wiggily. And now you had
better run on to school or you may
be late. Good bye!"
Away hoped the bunny and of

there? / must see about this! it
may be the Fuzzy Fox or Woozie

Uncle Wiggily looked through
the bushes, but all he saw was Il
tall green plant, with a cluster of
purple blossoms. And 1t was this
plant, or weed, that had spoken.
"Please stop biting mel" cried
the cluster of purple flowers, for
they have a language of their own,
