Language Professor Provides
Headpieces for Class OF \
18 at University.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 1S.-An
improved photograph for 1nstruc-
ton in foreign tongues has been
devised by Professor Robert Il.
lockwood, acting head of the De-
partment Of Romance Languages, at
Ohio State University.
The machine may be used stimuli
taneously by eighteen students.
Eliminating use of the single norm,
Professor lockwood has provided
headpiece for each student, thereby
permitting individual instruction. A
control device permits effective reg
istration of the various shades or
word tones. A record-cutting device
provides for the recording of the
pronunciation of each student when
he, or she, takes up the course. By
means of this method each student
can make personal observation, at
the end of the course, of the pro-
greSs made.
1.-THE photographic method OF
teaching a language has been greatly
abused" said Professor lockwood.
TT is for that reason that we have
eliminated the horn and substituted
individual headpieces. This makes
1t possible for each student to hear
the proper tones and infections and
eliminates the confusion attendant
when a number of students attempt
to crowd around a horn.
BY means of this method, also,
the student can practice his pro.
nunciation as he goes along without
fear of disturbing the others in the
class"

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, July IL. -
aunt Nancy" O'Brien, who at the
age of 101 years went to the polls
and gave Warren G. Harding her
first vote when he was a Presiden-
tiaI candidate in 1920, recently cele-
brated her 104th birthday here.
Her little home banked with flow
ers sent by admirers, AUNT Nancy"
was up and around making ready
for the celebration. At no time did
the smile that played about her with.
cred lips when the first visitor
arrived leave her. She seemed to
gain strength rather than tire as
the day proceeded:
Mrs. Nancy Ketchum O'Brien, or
aunt Nancy" as she is affection
ately known here, is a native Of
New York State.
Lived Like Most Folks"
She was born at Union, New York,
during the first term of James Mon
roe, fifth President of the United
States. She was several years old
when the famous Monroe Doctrine
was promulgated.
Aunt Nancy" who came here in
1870, has no formula to give the
growing generation to attain a ripe
old age. 1--WE just lived as most
folks do" she said.
Despite her years her memory is
unusually clear
With no small degree of pride she
showed visitors a beautiful blue and
white coverlet made of wool and
linen. The yarn used in it, she
proudly told them, had been twisted
by her when she was "knee-high to
a grasshopper."
She chuckled as she autographed
cards for admirers with the quill
pen she had used as a schoolgirl.
And then she proudly exhibited her
first set of silver spoons, given her
at her marriage in 1841 by her
father, each of them made of a sill
yer dollar.
Up To the Minute.
She goes to the movies regd
larly, rides automobiles without fear
and Is great radio fan" The onl,
thing modern she will have nothing
to do with Is the flying machine.
She draws the line there.
Current events hold keen interest
for Aunt Nancy. Her tables are
piled high with magazines and news
papers. No political issue escapes
her, and she is always ready tn
discuss national and international
problems.
AS the afternoon began to wane
one of the throng of visitors sug.
gested that perhaps Aunt Nancy
wants to go to Sleep"
go to sleep nothingm was the
response. I'm going fishing with

And she went.

special meeting of the board was
called to give the matter further
consideration" It was then decided
to call the game off.
The Gaithersburg teams ex.
penses are heavy. The games thus
far played this season have not
been very literally patronized, and
1t was thought that Sunday games
would bring some extra dollars to
the clubs treasury
In appreciation Of the action of
the board of directors in reconsider
ing Its decision to play Sunday
games, many Of those who disap.
proved have voluntarily given as,
surances that they will regularly
attend the weekend games here
after and do all within their power
to boost the attendance.
Next Saturday afternoon Gathers

team, of Washington, will play at
Gaithersburg. These teams have
met twice so far this season and
each has won a game.

NO BOON IN
CHEAP MONEY

One thing that has to be given up
is the idea that cheap money Is al
ways good for business. Farmers
want cheap money, business men
want cheap money, stock spectators
want cheap money, the U. 8. Treasury
wants to float government loans on
cheap money, socialists, anarchists
and old-line greenbackers want very,
very cheap money. Everybody feels
that when the money rate is showed
up 1t is an arbitrary damper on pros
perity.
But we cannot have both low rate
on money and a stable level of prices.
We can have one or the other-not
both together for any length Of time.
A low rate Of money means an In
hated price level. A stable price
level means q fiuctuating rate Of dis
count. That is, the public must learn
to look at the price level Instead of
the bank reserves, as their measure
of expectation for rise or fall Of the
value of money.
Now this fact makes me feel that a
mistake is made If we do not fully ex-
plain to the public the power already
exercised by the bank rate and the
Federal Reserve Board and Reserve
banks. Our bankers and economists
see the bad use that Is likely to be
made Of political control If banking
and currency and they try to make the
people believe that SO intricate ques'
ton must be left to experts.
AS a matter Of fact our present
methods encourage the very thing we
wish to avoid. We let everybody be-
lieye that low rates on money are nee
essary for prosperity and then when
bank reserves run low on account OF
the effects of this belief, we are sud
denly compelled to jump the rates to
protect the reserves. We get both
cycle Of prices and a cycle OF bank
rates, whereas, If the public under
stood that the rise Of bank rates
should not wait until bank reserves
are low, but the rates should be ad
yanced several months ahead for the
very purpose of preventing fictitious
prosperity with its inflated price level,
then the public might be satisfied to-
support the administrative regulations
which raise the rates at time when
there seems to be no need OF doing
it.-John R. Commons, University OF
Wisconsin.
