ADOPTED
Small Schools Hard Hit by
Ruling Which Education
Board PromuIgates

With the beginning Of the next
school year In September, the high
schools will put into effect a ruling
OF the Board Of Education limiting
all athletes to two sports"
The smaller high schools will be
hard hit by the ruling while the
larger ones, notably Central, Tech.
and Western will be unaffected.
eastern and Business with their
small squads, will be the ones to
bear the brunt Of the ruling.
In sanctioning the rule the Board
OF Education said that too much
emphasis was being placed on
sports by the pupils. 1t was de.
cided that II an athlete was only
allowed to go into two sports he
could give more time to studies.

1t is now up to careless drivers to
do their part by sparing the public
from the additional expense OF

All that is necessary for the drivers
to do is stop, look and listen before
crossing a railroad.
Because a small per cent of the
hundreds of thousands of automo-
bile drivers persist in carelessness In
crossing railroad tracks there are
those who demand that grade cross
ings be eliminated, little realizing
that the danger is in the driver rath-
er than the crossing or that the
public's share of the expense of such
grade changes would be large n d
at best.
Carefully computed cost of chang
ing a grade crossing shows it to be

SUGAR BEETs VALUABLE CROP

If possible to become an exporter
He is quoted as follows:
There are two mais reasons for
this policy. One is the desire of the
countries to improve their CONNER
cial position by buying less from
abroad and selling more. The other
is the necessity which they feel for
improving agricultural conditions
The war gave European agriculture
setback from which it has not yet
recovered. Consequently, they are
anxious to expand the acreage de-
voted to this crop as much as pos
sible. No other policy will do more
for American agriculture than en-
couragement of sugar beet culture,
which will put into the pockets Of
our farmers millions of dollars we
now send abroad, improve yields of
all other crops grown in rotation,
and give farmers a dependable cash
crop, brining in money when thew

EXTENDING USE OF SILVER

Prof. Fisher of Yale university
says that gold is no longer stable
standard of value, and that its pur-
chasing power should be stabilized
to prevent evils of initiation or de-
flation by larger use of silver all ov-
er the world.
The treasury has embarked upon
a campaign to restore the silver dol
lar to general circulation. An initial
step was taken when one of the
coins was placed in the pay envel-
ope of each of the 5000 treasury
employees. Similar action will be
suggested to other government de-
partments. Paper has been supplant-
ing silver dollars but upkeep of pa
per money costs the government 8

"Fairy Music" May Not
Be Mere Imagination

Stories of fairy music In the forest,
OF haunted waterfalls, and mermaids
singing near the seashore, long
thought mere figments of the imagi-
nation, may have a sound basis in
fact. In an issue Of Science, DR.. AL
exander Forbes of the Harvard medi-
cal school reports numerous cases in
which trees seem to have separated
dlscordant shouts and noises and CIV
en- back echoes in musical tones.
in every case" he says, "the source
Of the sOund-wayes on beach, roar
or river, exhaust of motor boat or
discordant human volces-was one In
which many pitches were present.
Something in the surroundings, usual
ly trees, must have separated the
sounds according to pitch, placing
those of one pitch in one place and
those of another pitch elsewhere. In
this respect the phenomenon appears
analogous to that Of white light being
broken up into pure spectral colors by
prism"
This reflection Of absorption OF
sound waves of different pitches, Doc
tor Forbes explains, is only rarely OBJ
served. Sometimes the phenomenon
is distinct and clear in one spot, yci
a few PAGES backward or forward only
the ordinary noises are heard.
The frequent association of trees
with these musical echoes Is thought
to be due to the lack Of uniformity
they present as a rejecting surface
for the sounds. Each tree apparently
sends back part of the sound, and this
reflection is boken up into innumer-
able parts OH account of the varying
element of distance.
