the right to establish standards or to
exercise any power over the conduct
of tho schools. All details with respect
to courses of study plans, and meth
DDS are left entirely to the states
1t is pointed out that the treasury
would not be called upon to surrender
the entire amounts mentioned in this
bill because. in order to obtain it's
share of each fund. a state is required
TO double its appropriation. If then, a
state is not interested in reducing il
hteraey or in promoting physical edu-
cation, or if it is pressed for funds. it
simply forfeits the allowance for the
year, and the money remains in the
treasury.
Last year, the committee approved
this bin saying: There is nothing of
more Importance in our scheme of
government than the education of the
people. Whatever else may be left
out education cannot safely be ex-
cluded. If there is any one thing that
justifies a tax in the judgment of
Am erican citizens, it is that which
strengthens and supports our public
schools"
This year, economy is impressed
upon congress as the most urgent ne
cessity. and the house committee on
education is patiently waiting a sign
from somewhere saying that the econ
omy crisis is over.

Daily Talk
. SMILE. WHY NOT2

A great national publication has
dedicated its energies toward making
this week Smile Week.
A splendid Idea. 1 like it better
than Thrift -Week--for of what value
is money saved unless you can smile
over the fact?
But Smile Week should have pre-
coded Thrift Week, in my judgment.
Smiles do not drive the seriousness
out of ones soul by a good deal. on
the contrary, a smiling man or woman
always goes doubly armed against loss
or disappointment.
1t is better to develop your smile
muscles than your leg muscles. For
you can stand and smile, and defy all
odds-whereas with your leg muscles
too highly developed, you might be
tempted to run!
Curious tho it may seem, even diges-
ton is greatly influenced by the atti-
tude of ones mind while eating. The
smiling partaker of food builds both
his body and his soul.
Who ever spoke an unkindness in
the midst of a sincere smile2
Who ever said in his heart that he
had decided to quit-with smile on
his lips?
Who ever lost friend by the smil-
ing process
Why, the Smile is the sun of the
soul! And who is it that wants to live
in. a darkened day?
Smile aplenty. Why not2
- And smile while yet you are able
and have the time and chance.

I've been thru many a childish i'll.
All boyhood's joys and cares know.
I've been the dreamy, sallow youth
Who thinks himself so very wise;
Once on a time. to tell the truth,

And pointed shoes and yellow spats, -
For was only twenty then.
But now I've one regret, and that's
The way 1 sneered at older men,

By which n1s goal / should attains

Numerous signs indicate a general
coal strike in the spring. The issue in
the industry is wages. The miners
will be asked to accept>a reduction in
wages Their leadeE, John L. Lewis,
has announced that they will not
agree to a decrease in the pay rates.
Mr.. Lewis seems to have learned
nothing from the results of recent
strikes. nearly every one of which has
failed. II the wage scales and other
operating costs be not readjusted in
the union fields between now and
April to put them on a competitive
bass with the non-union domestic

I once knew a homely old woman
who, after a prolonged recitation of
the peculiarities, and idiosyncrasies of
her husband, would throw up her
hands and exclaim:
But who can guess mani"
Not one of us, sister, for man is the
prize conundrum that every woman
spends her life trying to solve, and
that she can unriddles.
He is made up of as many con-
trasts in sweet and sour as a. salad
dressing. He is as full of unexpected
turns of humor, and pathos as a
vaudeville show He runs as great a
range from the fine to the common, as
department store. He is both a
superfluous luxury and an absolute ne
cessity. one of the things a woman
may be wretched in possessing, but
that she is miserable without.
He is our greatest blessing, and the
source of most of our troubles, and
both he and we are happiest when he
is kissing away the tears he has made
us shed.
He is as brave as a lion in the fare
of actual danger, but he is scared to
death every time he has a headache
He can smoke a cigarette ard wait
his turn with stoical calm on the baT-.
tiefield, but at home he can keep three
people busy wrapping up finger with
q pin prick.
He has discovered the north pole,
and the innermost secrets of science
but he can't find a pocket handker-
chief in bureau drawer unless it hap
pens to be on top of the other clothing
He will face the enemy on the field
of battle without a trepor, but he lives
in mortal terror of his stenographer,
and makes his wife discharge the cook.
He can hold q nation under his
thumb, but he let's his own baby boss
him.
He will go to the stake for the sake
or his opinions, but he hasn't the
courage to wear last years hat.
His favorite topic of conversation
is gliding at the faults of women, yet
the only women he loves are those
who Justify every one of his criticisms.
He prides himself upon beirigr gtEigaed
by reason and logic, yet in .the most
important act in his life he throws
judgment to the winds, and marries
girl because of the way her hair curls
on the nape of her 1t1eck.

Prior to five years ago the federal
government took no part in road con-
struction. Today half of all the pub
lie highways under construction are
being, aided financially by the federal
government and the construction is
subject to the inspection and approval
of federal engineers. If the total
mileage of federal aid highways were
reduced to single road. it is esti-
mated it would encircle the earth at
the equator and extend as far as from
New York to San Francisco on the
second lap. Figures compiled by the
bureau of public roads show the total
length of public highways built dur
ing the last five and a half years with
the assistance of the federal govern2
ment to be 2s,741 miles. Their cost
is approximately $5OoQ0o,O0O, which
has been divided equally between the
federal government and the several
states in which federal aid roads have
been constructed. Texas leads all the
states with q total of 1906 miles.
