The Los Angeles Times grows
sarcastic when referring to Captain
Stayton of Baltimore, head of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, who is now in the Cali
fornia city trying to start something
against prohibition and in favor of
booze. The Times says:
Captain w. H. Stayton has come
among us in order to arouse our ex-
ccitement to fever heat or some
thing. 1t appears that we are ex-
pected to start crusade against
the volstead Act and restore the
Demon Rum.
AFTER Captain Stayton has re-
stored the demon rum, he might
move Wilson's Peak a few miles
over to the north to sort of balance
Old BaadY. and after that he might
shove hack the Pacific Ocean to
make room Cor more beach.
His chances for success in these
various enterprises are about equal.

MANY STATES BENEFIT By
zONING LEGISLATION

ZONING LEGlSLAT1ON
Approximately 24.O00.O00 people.
living in 261 municipalities through
out the United States, are enjoying
the benefits Of coming, according to
statistics compiled by the Division OF
Building and Housing Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce. The greatest
coming center is in the territory in
New York State and northern New
Jersey, having New York City for its
hub: other centers are in California,
Ohio, Massachusetts, Illinois and
Wisconsin.
Secretary Hoover, in recent
statement, characterized properly
drawn coming ordinances as reason
able, neighborly agreements as to
the use of land" They divide
city into districts in which are limit
ed the use to which land and struc-
lures may be put; the height and
number Of stories of the buildings;
and the area of the lots to be oc-
cupied by the buildings. Their pro-
fessed object is to regulate the use
of private real estate for the purpose
OF promoting health, safety, morals
and the general welfare of the en-
tire community.
Zoning regulations provide, by
neighborly kind of agreement, that
town shall be divided into districts
in which the uses for which struc-
lures may be built, their maximum
height, and the area of the lot which
they may cover, are established. In
line with the coming plan, certain
districts are set aside for residences,
for apartment houses, for office
buildings, and for manufacturing,
Ample provision is made for normal
growth of business and Industrial
districts, but the builder OF
garage or factory is not allowed to
erect it within residential neigh
borhood regardless of the annoy
ance and money losses inflicted on
surrounding home owners.
That the idea has made a strong
appeal to the American people is
shown by the rapid spread of coming.
On January /, 1928, there were only
129 zoned cities, towns and villages.
The first comprehensive effort to
zone was the passage Of a coming
ordinance by New York City in
1915; although Los Angeles, Calf,
passed use" ordinance in 1909,
and Boston, Mass. regulated the
height Of building in 1904.
Cities, towns and boroug h
throughout the country generally
are showing more than passing
interest in coming. Where authority
is granted, various municipalities
are actively engaged in the solution
OF their coming problems with en-
thusiastic coming commissions and
auxiliary committees at work. Even
where state legislation does net
authorize coming, various public
spirited and progressive organi-
cations are studying the local sit
uation so that when coming can be
elected legally, much of the prelim-
mary work will be finished.
New Jersey leads in the number
OF zoned municipalities having Sc;
New York has Al: California has 80;
Illinois. rs: Massachusetts,, "a;
Ohio, 16; Wisconsin, 13; Indiana, s.:
Michigan and Missouri, 4; each;
Iowa and Rhode Island, 8 each /;

Manila-Diki Diki, diminutive chief
tain of the Island of North Ubian,
sulu. after many disappointments in
love, has finally won the affections of
Ajaratol, also 4 liliputian, and the
wedding will take place shortly at
Jolo. capital of the province.
Diki Diki. who is the most impor-
tant man of the island, is just 36h
inches in height, while his fiancee is
three inches shorter.
Ajaratol, who lives on the island of
Usada, 10 miles from North Ubian. is
81 years old, and has had many suit
ors for her hand, Diki Diki, however.
in spite of his so years. has won over
all his competitors. Malaria Hiram,
Diki Diki's chief rival for the affec-
tions of Ajaratol, is to be best man at
the wedding and Imam OWL, another
rival. is to perform the Mahometan
ceremony. The granddaughter of
Hadji Butu, the most influential Moro,
is to be bridesmaid.
Some time ago when the public
school authorities gathered in all
children of school age, Diki Diki was
caught in. the net. 1t was several
months before his real age was dis
covered and he was released from
school attendance. He defined, how
ever. to quit school, and is now an ar
dent pupil in the second grade at the

Hero Worship Curse Of American
COLLEGES

Laird Shields Golds5orough, for
mer editor of various Yale under
graduate publications. writes in The
Forum. 1.-The Big Man Idea" SO prev
alent at Yale and other American
colleges is destroying culture. Col
lectively. The Big Man is an idol with
a hundred heads. devoutly wor-
shipped by the remainder of the col
lege. Individually. the hundred heads
are each attached to 4 separate body.
and the combination often appears
specifically greatly to resemble other
heads and bodies. But there is a
difference. Each and every Big Man
has done something" Naturally
some have done" more than others.
There are the first" team and first"
crew men together with the heads of
publications such as 1.-THE News"
And then there are the second
team men, second" crew men, and
less important officers. Below these
two groups are men distinguished in
the minor sports, activities such as
debating, and the y. n. c.. A. Last
in the scale are those who unfortu-
nately are thought to have done
nothing"
The results of this Big Man Spirit
are bad because the one valid reason
that can be given for tile existence of
a college-not technical schools
that. now that all respect for learn
ing has long since departed from the
noisy world. it serves as retreat
where culture may still be wooed.
And a retreat ceases to be retreat
in proportion as it becomes the
theatre for competitions" contests"
and other manifestations of the Big
Man spirit. Culture flies out at the
window in proportion as Big Men
with their clanking ard tremendous
accomplishments" stride In at the
door. In proportion as culture be-
comes evanescent and departs does a
college lose it's excuse for existence
and become a hollow mockery.
Do colleges exist for the purpose of
making Big Men at twenty-five. or
well rounded possibly great men at
forty?
