GOLD SPOONS FOR MUSH
BY Albert Apple

Nnety-fve out of every 100 children in American public
schools will have to work with their hands for living after
they leave school and strike out for themselves.
So claims A. w. Frye supreme commander of the Macca
bees His figures obviously approximately correct.
Ninety five per cent will work with their hands, Yet
about IS cent of their education brain training rather
than hand training Providing gold spoons for eating mush
The who makes his living with his hands certainly
needs all the brain training he get. With his brain
developed and alert he will advance quickly. 1t is

training that made Abe Lincoln the ral-sper into Pres
ident Lincoln.
Yes, the who makes his living with his hands, needs
all the brain training he get
He needs it not only in his work, but for individual i'm
provemen in spare time With trained brain he will not
submit ignoranty to industrial slavery And he will recog
nize the wisdom of giving his children "a better start in
life" .f,.t
Despite all this educational system spends too much
time developing the brain and too little time training the
hands, Theoretically the boy who gets his brain educated IN
school, will have plenty of time to learn how to make
with his hands after he leaves school
But the seemingly perpetual tendency of educators at

Out where the wind is a-roaming free.
And the moon shines down In her silver light;
There is the place am longing to be,

When you are simply camping out.

Washington, Sept. 8.-Evidence is
accommodating that the storm-cente
of the Republican campaign will be
Charles G. Dawes. G. o. P. vice pres
idential nominee.
Dawes is destined to be painted
as political Jekyll-Hyde, a dual
personality, alternately hard-as-
nails capitalist and disciplinarian
and pensive, dreaming sentimental
list.
Democrats already have been able
to capitalize the "hard- boiled
Dawes, he of "Hell-and- Maria" fame
and Of strong explosives. Also, they
claim to have found a definite reac-
ton against Dawes cvcr-present
pipe, citing the instance at Portland,
Maine, where Autographs of Dawes,
pipe in mouth, we're withdrawn fol-
lowing protests by local w. c. r. U.
leaders.
AS a result of this line of attack
on their vice presidential candidate,
Republican publicity is engaged in
presenting the other Dawes, the one
which is less spectacular and vocifer-
Gus, but which they claim is the
Dawes that would be in the ascend
ant in high office.
This Dawes is cultured, aesthetic
gentleman, patron of the arts.
himself a musician and composer; a
humanitarian who establishes refuge
homes where hungry, jobless men
can find shelter and warmth.
To back up this picture of Dawes
his MELODY in A Major" perhaps his
most tuneful composition, has been
produced on photograph records and
is slated for extensive distribution.
c. P. headquarters cites that a
Chicago violinist, touring Europe
has included the Dawes composition
in his repertoire and is making it
the hit of his concerts.

It seemed to me Jack was sorry
he had spoken, for he evaded an
swering her, but all through the din
ner she kept referring to it, and
finally she said to me:
"Isn't it possible for you to per-
suade Mr.. Prescott that 1 can take
care Of his business?"
Jack seemed very much annoyed
and grew very sulky. That did not
worry her, however. She wouldn,
let him alone until he had promised
to start to you tomorrow.
Later, in the dressing room, she
said:

the baby to his wife, and bring

friend Of hers have absolutely turn

DAWES TO BE REAL STORM /.
. .#4 CENTER OF G. o. p. FIGHT

So impressed was President Mas
aryk of Czechoslovakia with the
Dawes composition that the violinist
felt justified in sending cablegram
telling about it.
Gen. Dawes composition is the
logical successor to 'Humoresque,"
Masaryk is said to have said. Gamer
lea has produced in him a man whose
vision is as large as your country"
Naturally, verdict like that just
couldn't be suppressed by the Repub-
lican party publicists
While Republicans are emphasizing
more and more the Dawes of culture,
the musician and composer and phi
lanthropist, the Democrats continue
hammering away on Dawes as
"hard-boiled egg" who points his
periods with profanity, chews up
pipe stems, slams the desk when he
talks and raises "Hcll-an' Maria
generally. -" t90
1t is from these two widely diver
gent pictures that the public at large
must make up its estimate of Cool
idge's running mate. Republicans
are hopeful, however, that even the
Democratic likeness will be helpful
in lining up the votes of red-blooded,
vigorous voters, while the dilettantc
Dawes, the musician and dreamer,
are counted on to win for him the
ballots of the less strenuously en-
phatic.
Possibly never before did the sec
ond-place men on the presidential
tickets get, by comparison, as great
part Of the campaign publicity as
they are getting this year.
Just as Dawes is made the target
Of the Coolidge opposition, SO Bryan
gets more brickbats from the Re-
publicans than Davis, and Wheeler
draws the fire of both old parties
from his Independent chief, La Fol-
lette.
