The Ideal Corporation

IA : vs ssss aAs ''s'l corporation mas 's'H :.
It is a corporation that will never be dis
turbed by scraps between majority and minor
ity factions
In it will be no blocs, no insurgents, no
stockholders, no directors, no bookkeeping, no
auditing nothing at all that might lead to
trouble
The inventor is Mr. William II. Anderson,
formerly boss of the Anti-Saloon League OF
New York State and later guest at Sing Sing,
that State.
The name Of the corporation will be the
American Prohibition Protestant Patriotic Pro
tective Alliance, for brevity s sake to be known
as the A. P. P p P. A.
Mr. Anderson says the new organization
will have no members and no membership, al
though he says he expects it to grow into
powerful nationwide organization doing
much good. +"
The entire organization even when it be-
comes nationwide will consist of William Fl.
Anderson, who announces that 1T will accept
contributions only as outright personal gifts
to William H Anderson, it's founder and gen
eral secretary, to be used in any way he sees
fit, to enable him to promote and further the
objects Of an American Prohibition Protestant
Patriotic Protective Alliance
In thus organizing himself into nation
wide alliance to accept contributions, Mr. An
derson has hit upon unique scheme to avoid
all pestiferous meddling by auditors, investi-
gators and minions Of the law We may assume
from the name that all Americans Prohibi-
tionists, Protestants and Patriots will be per-
mitted to contribute as freely as they see fit 1t
. isn't clear, however that contributions by
those who don't happen to be either Ameri-
cans, Prohibitionists, Protestants or Patriots
will be refused.
If this first venture in self-organization
proves to be successful we know of no law to
prevent every other citizen who wants to form
organizing himself into an alliance to accept
contributions And if success crowns the
effort of each organizer, it won't be long be-
fore we II all be rich.
We never did think much of that famous
I organization Of individuals who decided to get
rich by taking in each others washing; for

SLOWLY GROWING
OUR WINGS

TNDIANAPOLIS will soon be

office Department. Bids have been
asked from private corporations
for establishment of eight routes
to connect with the Governments
transcontinental service.
One Of the proposed routes is
from Birmingham. Ala. to Chi
cago, through Nashville. Louisville
and Indianapolis.
For several years the flying
mail has winged from coast to
coast. The practicability and re-
liability of the service has been
proved. Extension of the service
to cities not on the transconti-
mental line seems logical.
Commercial, aviation in this
country IS beginning to sniff the
air. Iienry Ford's successful ven
ture with his Detroit Chicago line
has apparently awakened other
hard-headed business men. Henry

dreams into bankable profits.

A network of successful COM
mercial air lines now cover Eur
ope. Passengers. mail and freight
are regularly carried with speed
and safety between all the great
capitals, London, Paris, Berlin,
Warsaw, Moscow. Constantinople.
Planes of one German manu-
facturer alone carried on COM
mercial routes. 26,509 passengers
in 1923, against 1920 in 1921
Mails and freight carried by this
company's machines increased
from $500 pounds in 1921 to 147.-
407 pounds in 1923. Traffic on all
European air lines show similar
increase.
In eontrast with the develop
ment of commercial wings abroad,
the United States has one air
mail line and one commercial line
in operation. Even soviet Rus
STA and distracted Turkey show
greater air progress. Yet Amer
lea holds all the flying records
from altitude to around-the.world.
It's time commercial aviation in
this country was sprouting at
least a pinfeather.

WHY THEY GO
TO COLLEGE

r-1RESIDENT E. c. ELLIOTT,
- of Purdue, addressing the
IL N. E. A. convention Mon
day, characterized the complex
social life and absorption In
athletics OF students in higher
schools as pains of growth. q"
Other educators bitterly condemn
these non-academic activities of
students.
Probably athletics and social ac-
tivities consume too much of the
time and attention Of the average
college student and schools should
put on the brakes. They, no
doubt, interfere with sedate pur-
suit Of knowledge.
The number of students in col
leges and universities in the
country has increased from 150,-
600 in 1900 to 100000 in 1925.
There is a reason. And it is not
altogether passion for book learn
ing. Athletics and the social side
of college life also attract.
The purpose or the hlgher lnstl-
tutions is to prepare students for
life. Life consists of social con-
facts as well as books, so the value
Of college education isn't entire
ly in the classrooms.
Perhaps too many college
students at present minimize the
Importance of classrooms in col
lege life. But who can blame
them? One who graduates with
scholastic honors and a Phi Beta
Kappa KEY is offered a teaching
job at small wages, while Red"
Grange, a football hero, is offered
a 100000 movie contract.
AS long as such conditions exist
non-academic activities will SEEM
vastly important to many students.
If they are detrimental college
authorities can strew enough
academic thorns in the students
paths to distract them from over
absorption in athletics and social
affairs
