call attention to the plain though UNI
pleasant fact that long before the st.

carrying foreign flags enters
Great Lakes harbor, nearly every

Lessons On The Air.

A change of college by change of
the wave length is one of the pos
sibilities of the very near future, we
are told.
Radio courses are being installed
by some colleges and the only re-
quirement for a college education
will be the purchase of radio set.
If the student wishes to "cut"
class, he can do so with impunity,
but he may have trouble making the
broadcasting professor believe that
his antenna was not working or his
aerial was blown down or his station
detector was not hitting on all tours.
There will be plenty of air abilis in
these radio courses, but the students
will have to pass examinations, and
there is where the rub will come.
They may fall back on the excuse
that their lesson got lost in an air
pocket and was picked up by dis
honest person who failed to return it
to the sender, but even that will not
prevent the professor from giving
them zero.
Lessons on the air will be very
convenient, but there is no escaping
responsibility, if anything is accom-
plished radio courses not except

1922 Students Enroll For
Second Semester.

A total of about 1922 students
have enrolled in the University of
Wisconsin for the second semester of
the academic year which opened last
week The registrar announces this
total although he has not yet COM
pleted the checking of Withdrawals,
mid-year graduations, and other
changes involved in the enrolment.
The decrease in enrolment at the
beginning of the second semesttr is
about as usual this year. A total of
7,643 enrolled during the first
semester this year, as compared with
7,122 for the second Last year
1852 enrolled in September, and

Nothing retards a community like
pettiness among its business men or
people
Yet how many towns and small
cities are free from its influence?
1t is related that not SO long ago,
in certain city of about 5000 in
habitants, the merchants on one side
of the court house square banded
together to hold special sale.
They secretly organized their adj
vertising campaign and expected to
take their competitors by surprise
and net big profit for themselves.
As they should have had Judgment
enough to know, the sale was big
failure in not coming up to their ex-
pectations and was harmful to the
town because of the bad feeling it
engendered among the other mer-
chants.
Nothing is ever accomplished
when the vision of a community's
business men and its people is so
narrow that everything done is only
for personal gain.
Helpful cooperation is the only
key to community success, and until
this lesson is learned, no community
IS going to progress very far. Elk

Washington, D. C.-Representa-

10 Washington from his home in
Wisconsin where he went to obtain
additional data in support of his bill
to restore general Commerce on the
Creat Lakes and relieve agricultural
denr in the northwest. In
this connection he says the St.
Iawrence to the Sea waterway has
long been used to divert the public's
attention from the subject of the
passing of general commerce on the
Great Lakes.

harbor statistics on the Great Lakes
will show the most optimistic sup

route that long before this channel

commerce on the Great Lakes will
have deprecated and disappeared
from our several harbors. When
that times comes, there will be
neither general commerce nor harbor
faslhties with which to receive or
support our foreign visitors.

the people of the Northwest as the

An investigation Of the mental
ability Of 5.352 children in the public
schools of two Indiana cities was
made and disclosed that approx
mately three percent was definitely
feeble minded in varying degrees and
another three percent was sub
normal in intelligence.
The school children of most COM
munities will not vary much from this
percentage Of mental inferiority
With six percent disqualified from
receiving the benefits Of a public
ehool education, educators have a
real problem to cope with in endeay-
oring to correct this defect in pres
ent education methods.
There is a small percent who are
mentally superior They offer no
problem at all because they can be
advanced without waiting for their
lass TO move on, but there is moth
ing to do with the mentally deficient
except to hold them in the same
room, term after term, and they ben

: princess whom he thought to be
even lovelier..
Now, the princess father, the
king, was very strict with his
beautiful daughter and forbade
her having anything to do with
Apollo. And when he found
Apollo counting his daughter he
locked her up in the palace.
but Apollo did not let this
interfere with his seeing his new
love. So what did he do but
dress himself up like the queen,
the princess mother, and go to
see the young princess whenever
he wished.
"All would have gone well, ex-
cept for Clytie, who by now was
most, miserable. So she spied on
the false. Apollo and when she
discovered what he was doing she
told the king.
"The king was raging with an
ger and what do you think he
did? OF course he could not pun
ish Apollo, because he was a
god. But he ordered his daugh-
ter buried alive.
apollo hastened to the scene,
but. the unfortunate princess was
dead and in her grave when he
arrived. There was nothing for
Apollo to do but grieve and in
his sorrow he thought of the
only way to show his love. So he
turned the princess into a sweet
smelling shrub, called myrrh.
Poor Clytie in her jealousy
had been the cause of all this
and as a result Apollo refused
even to look at her. But he
turned her into the fragrant
heliotrope.
1T seems strange, but in spite
of his cruel treatment of her and
even his scorn, Clytie still loved
Apollo. Although he would not
even look at her, she spent the
whole day looking up at him.
People say that the heliotrope
always turns toward the sun, and
and that Clytie looking up at
her sun god Apollo, in the morn
ing the blossoms face the east,
where he is rising. at noon they
look straight up into the sky,
while at evening they face him
in the west when he sinks below
the horizon. And at night they
close entirely"

Bobby, plucking one of the fra

"Because?" Dan repeated, step
ping forward.
Because I love you, Dam"
Mamie confessed. Dan sprang
toward her but she held him at

"Not yet-first you must swear

said Dan. ASK Texas"
Secondly said Mamie, you

And thirdly she went on,

and obey me all your life

holding out his arms.
It was natural that Elmer
should become little impatient
at Mamie's delay. Mr.. Pepper
urged him to go in and see what
was OBTAINING her. Mr.. Lovejoy
arrived in time to observe Mamie
in Dams arms and Zander tug

Mamie stared at the car and
the occupants as though they
had suddenly descended from the
clouds. Then with a cry she ran
forward to meet Pepper. For the
moment Dan was forgotten-the
sight of this old friend who had
been so good to her in the days
when a little kindness meant so
much sent a thrill all over her.
Elmer Lovejoy was quite a diff
ferent character as far as out
ward appearance was concerned.
Not so long ago he had not been
particular about his dress. Now
he was logged out in, a suit Of
the latest style and rather
loud style at that.
FIis socks and his tie were Of
matching brilliant colors and his
straw hat was the most approved
model
Seeing Mr.. Pepper the happy
recipient Of kiss from Mamie,
Elmer advanced to claim a like
reward. but Mamie had no idea
of bestowing It. Instead she
looked from one to the other,
wondering what had brought
them there.
Elmer solved that question for
her with a patronizing air. well,
Mamie, it sure is good to see
you again, Mr.. Pepper, and have
come to bring you back to Wee
weedin. I've bought the old John
son House and I'm ready to
marry you
Mamie turned and saw Dan
standing in the doorway looking
out at her. He had no idea who
these strangers were. Mamie
wondered what he would say If
he knew that Elmer Lovejoy was
at that very second offering to
marry her and take. her away
fYom him.
Somehow all her resentment
faded, but she was at loss how
to answer the young man who
had tried to make life easy for
her when she was at the mercy
of the hard-hearted Mrs. Martin.
She temporized with the main
issue. Old Mr.. Pepper was asking
about Zander, and Elmer was
telling her what fine time she
would have when they got home.
