GOVERNMENT SAFETY
LIES WITH PRESS
Prof. Bleyer Says Public Opinion
I'm This Country is Taken
Wholly From Newspapers

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 5.-Dc-
lvelopment and cultivation of a
newspaper reading public which will
recognize news as of more impor-
lance than the society column, the
sporting page and the funny strip,
is one of the main duties Of the fu-
ture newspaper, in the opinion of
Prof w. G. Bleyer, director of
journalism at the University of
Wisconsin.
Newspapers should be read and
taught in the public schools of the
nation, and the youth instructed in
reading news and determining what
is best to read, Prof. Bleyer said.
Democratic government depends
upon public opinion and public opin-
ion, as we know it today, is mainly
taken from the newspapers" Mr..
Bleyer stated. "If the purpose Of
education is to train the youth Of
the nation in citizenship, the study
OF the newspaper should have a
prominent part in our public
schools.
Newspaper reading today is not
taken as a serious part of the indi-
vlduaPs daily life, On the whole,
the individual devotes at least thirty
minutes a day to the newspaper.
This is the weakness of our modern
democracy. We do not digest the
facts, We swallow them too hurried
ly.
The aim Of the newspapers and
journalism schools should be to train

ANERICUS BOY
BUNGLES SPANISH
Robert Fetner Has Interesting
Experience in Havana Where
He Is Consulate Clerk

Copies of the Havana Post receW-
ed in Americas today tells of the
interesting experience Of Robert
Fetner, an Americas boy who is now
attached to the American consulate
in that city. Under the Passing
Throng" heading tnis newspaper has
the following to say of young Fet'
ner and his interview with far
senorita there few days ago:
efforts of Americans to talk
Spanish after having picked up sew
eral dozen words are always
source of amusement to the "aplan-
tados" Americans who forget their
early difficulties, but the Stroller is
wondering what a Cuban senorita
who was disporting herself at the
beach the other day thinks of .
young American who brushed calm
ly up and asked her name with
out meaning to do so.
"The American is Robert Il,
Fetner, new clerk at the consulate,
whose studious efforts in the few
weeks he has been here have en-
grained many Spanish words on his
brain, but as yet has not shown him
how to use them. Besides tie
study of Spanish he has an ear for
music and he had been intrigued
by the tune of one of the Cuban
songs he had often heard since his
arrival, and was determined to know
its name SO he could get g copy.
Hearing the senorita hummng it
at the beach, Fetner marched bold
ly up to her and sought to inquire
the name of the song. Now, he
knows that "nombre" means name"
and he also had learned that the
little Spanish word 'su" means ''his.
hers, its, theirs; so why not use it
in this case for cts" +?
Anyway, he did, and what he
said to the young lady was 'Su No,a.
bre?" She looked rattle surprised,
but he repeated the words firmly
but politely, and 50 she replied Esp
eranza." 1t took a couple of repeti-
tons for Fetner to understand
'Esperanza," he then said 'Gracias,' .
bowed and walked off, and rejoin-
ing a friend said he had at last
found out the name Of the song. He
learned later amid much laughter
that he had asked the young lady
her name and that she had brushed
aside the rigid Cuban etiquette and
had told hfm. The Stroller, how
ever, does not know just what tic
senorita thinks about use young
American who calmly asked her
name, said thanks, bowed politely
and then ran off and left her"

NEGROES WARNED TO
REMAIN IN GEORGIA

FORSYTH, Aug. Sin an effort
to check the steady flow of negroes
that have been leaving This section
as well as other parts of the state
for the north, Mayor R. c. Goolsby
here recently received 9 communl-
cation from the mayor of East St
Louis, H., asking that he lend his
aid in the movement to keep thu
blacks from coming to Illinois and
the north.
The Illinois mayor asserted That
many of the negroes had come to
his city, and that as a consequence
they were idle, out of work, and
that there was not enough employ
ment to supply the large number
that were coming.

WEEKS DE- ENDS
DEFENSE TEST
Affair to Be Only 'Demonstra-
ton of Mobilization Plans,
War Secretary Says


WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--Assur-
ances that the army's defense test
project, scheduled for Sept. II,
should meet with the approval Of
all except possibly those who arc
opposed to any defense against ex-
ternal aggression" is contained in a
letter sent by Secretary Weeks to
clergymen who have inquired as to
the purposes and nature of the
test.
Nothing will be done on that
day to alarm any sincere American
citizen" Mr.. Weeks said. The
event will not be a general mobIli-
cation. Our military establishment
will not esincreased for an instant
on Sept. II.
"The Defense Test viii be only
ia demonstration of mobilization
plans. 1t will be an eudeavor on
the part of the Federal Government
to inform our people as fully as
possible on the present status Of
our security. Our whole purpose IS
to present to our county the new
citizen army of the United States
and to indicate what action would
have to be taken in national emer-
gency by our individual citizens,
and by communities, if our country
is to be defended SUCCESSFULLY.
"The simple demonstration plan
med might be compared to fire
drill in school for the safety Of
the children.
We are able to take this forward
step because Our plans are purely
for defense, and their object for
peace.
Insofar as there is any founda-
ito nfor the assumption that people
are frequently induced to warhko
acts without realizing the conse-
quences of those acts, the De
Tense Test will be a precautionary
measure. Every one will be made
aware of the sacrifices which war
will require of him.
"The Defense Test, on the other
hand, will apprise the world as
words never can of our friendly pur.
poses asa nation. They will see
that we have neither a standing
army of half-amilhon men, like
some of the great nations, nor COM
pulsory military army, reinforced
only by citizens who have under
taken to prepare themselves volan-
tarily for service to their country in
the event of war.
II would like to emphasize that ]
am striving for peace and that in
common with all Americans | dc.
sire it most sincerely. My observa
ton has brought the conviction thai
such is also the purpose of Genera
Pershing, and of al members of the
army Of the United States. But un
! preparedness has never prevented
war, and the only result of Gun
peace-time nonchalance has beer
increased losses and hardships t.
those of our citizens who rrallied Il
the defense of the nation"

Champion Of The Jerseys n
Gives Her" Body TO Science
Sophie 18th, Best Milk Pro-
ducer, Now IN Labora-
tory

BELTsVILE, Md, Aug. 81
Even in death, Sophie 10Th, famous
Jersey champion, has given herself
over to science.
After nearly 20 years Of service
N milk and butter production, dur.
ing which time she held many cham
pionships, Sophie was slaughtered
recently on the government farm
here, in the presence Of many scien-
lists interested in the study and i'm
proyement Of domestic animals. She
was member of the famous Jersey
herd at Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass.
But, killed because of old age,
Sophie IS still useful to science. Her
body has been the object of study
by scientists of the Department of
Agriculture.
Their special search is confined
to bodybuilding dairy cows, to see
if there is some relationship be-
tween the sizes of their organs and
their productivity. Also a new ba-
SIS for judging dairy cattle may be
developed.
During her lifetime Sophie pro
duced nearly 100 tons of milk and
almost five tons of butter. At the
age of seven years she produced
500 pounds Of Ibutterfat, which
means about 1900 pounds of butter
in one year.
From January, 1914, to Novem-
Der, 1918, she was world champion
Jersey and as late as 1920, when
she was very old 70 IA COW, she was
eighth highest milk producer of the
breed.

a new generation Of newspaper read
ers to. whom news, real news, is Of
more Importance than the society
column, the sporting page, or the
funny strip. The news should be
read first, leaving these other fea-
lures as desert. The news is the
solid food. We need to cultivate
news taste and discrimination in the
public.
1.-The public should be taught to
think of the news as a part of his
tory, of current events chat are
making history. The newspapers
can influence pubic opinion and
through that influence, even the
economic forces of the nation can
be moulded. They can be the or
gans of an enlightened patriotism
and make for more idealism and
community betterment.
Less emphasis should be put on
the sporting page. An interest in
sports is heahhful and normal, but
we ove1stress it these days. Pro-
fessional sports ere not q good stim-
ulant for the mind"

The Black Swamp

The Black swamp, extending from
the Sandusky to the Maumee river,
and covering an area of over 120 miles
In length and an average Of forty In
width, was entirely avoided by early
settlers in northern Ohio.
By an Indian treaty the United
States government acquired strip Of
land to make a road through the
swamp, but nothing further than tho
preliminary surveys being accom-
pllshed, the land was later transferred
to the state, and the first road was
completed In 1927.
In accordance with a state law
passed in 1859, a system of public
bitches was introduced, which rapidly
drained the swamp and transformed
it into a fertile agricultural region
