SHOOTING STARS.
EY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Automobile.

The Automobile.
It's fine when the world is an autumo
bile
That merrily whirls You along.
Where the sunshine is bright and the
stars seem to feel
In humor for laughter and song.
It's fine when the motor with steady
refrain
Keeps up its reliable pace.
And there's never a reason to fret or
complain
But it's fierce when a breakdown
takes place.
4 mile is a trifie. The flight is SO
swift
That we scarcely know how it was
made.
Nor think of the chance to give some
one a lift
Who is toiling on foot up the grade.
It's fine when the world like a motor
car glides,
With nothing its progress to balk,
But it's fierce when it skids or it
stalls or collides,
And you find you must get out and
walk.
So let's bear in mind when it's our
turn to speed
At rate that is swift and secure,
The fellow compelled on his way to
At gait that is plodding but sure.
Then stif1e your pride as you thought.
lessly plan
A scare with the whistle or gong,
And remember to leave right Of way
for the man
Who has to keep trudging along.
A Confession.
The fan declares he views the game
With abstract admiration
For players who are known to fame
Throughout this mighty nation
He says he likes to contemplate
The points of science nifty.
1t is his joy to calculate
Percentages so shifty.
But some are savage, more or less.
In their exhilaration.
Their fierce emotions they express
Without articulation.
And-frankly-to the park prance,
And blithely pay my dollar,
Not to admire, but for the chance
TO sit outdoors and holler.

standards already prevailing at
George Washington. and still higher
standards if necessity arises.
This policy" DR.. Lewis continued
:involves careful investigation of
existing requirements sanctioned by
the academic world. 1t is high time
that. universities, and, in fact, all
educational institutions, should scru-
tinize with more intelligent vision
than heretofore our system Of stand
ards and requirements for admission.
There is growing q well founded
suspicion that much time is lost by
our youth in elementary and second
ary school work; that our colleges are
hampered by the necessity of doing
much which should have been master
ed before the student entered their
halls.

1t is clear that there is dangerous

Answering his own question
what is the mission of George
Washington University? ?'-the speak
er first pointed out that it occupies a
different position from other urban
universities because it is located In
the National Capital. The fact that
1T serves to large extent those who
are employed by the federal govern
ment, students who spend their nights
or leisure gaining an educsti he
SAID, Is real contribution "to the
solution of those economic and social

When those students who have the
advantages afforded by their associa-
ton with the university and the gov
ernment at the same time are grad
uated, Or. Lewis went on, they go
out OF every corner Of the country
carrying with them a high sense of
ene significnance of national spirit,
which makes them peculiarly valu-
able TO their various communities. 1t
is worthy of note that many of the
1ull-t1me students in the university
are the children of government offi-
Gals temporarily in residence in
washington. Obviously then in this
instance the urban university is in
fact a national university serving not
limited constituency, but the nation
at large and the world,
In the unique combination of cir
cumstances just recited lies our prob
lem and our opportunity for service.
Clearly. the problem Is to create for
the university policy by which it
may take full advantage of the privi-
leses for learning afforded nowhere
else than in the Federal City. Not
the least of such advantages is that

gested quietly after he had watched
her for a few seconds. Il want to

The rancher fell back before the
fire in her eyes.

he got up; but he did not finish his
sentence. He was alone. Mercedes
had caught up Basilio and entered
the house.
He tried the door. 1t was locked.

parting moods permitted of no

them both.

hensively.
