Greatest Fun in the World

man and his need. Books to satisfy
every longing; books to open wide
the doors of knowledge; books to
breathe dreams into our withered
hearts. books to lead us adventur-
ing, books to ease our pain.
And blessed indeed is that man
who loves reading, for unto him is
vouchsafed a joy more lasting than
his days, a surcease for his woes,
forgetfulness for all his tribulations.
He is greater than kings and more
fortunate than princes. He is hap
pier than victorious warriors re-
turning from conquest, more con-
tent than the monk in his cloister
and more rich than potentates.
Life in it's fullness may have
passed him by, but he can always
watch its pomp and glory and know
their futility. He can see mankind
grotesque, brutal, unreasoning.
pathetic, and yet somehow ever
beautiful. ever kind, ever heroic,
ever a bit divine.
He who has books for his friends
win never be deserted or alone,
never wholly unhappy.

Sing a Song
BY Hal Cochran

When that feeling seizes you and
you're feelin' kinda blue, 1 can tell
you how to turn your frown to
smile. Hold your head up ra her
high. Let your voice reach to the
sky. Try and sing a little song a
little while.
There is always heaps Of cheer If
you'll only bring it here. What's
the use to ever worry, fuss and fret?
You will feel much more in step,
if you'll just adjust your pep. Think
Of all the fun and pleasure you
can get.
No one likes a wrinkled face,
when the wrinkles are a trace of the
frowning you have done from day
to day. Course you may have lines
upturned that through smiles and
cheer were earned, and it's different
when their story's told that way.
This is just a friendly earful-aw,
come on, let's all be cheerful, and
we'll bring the proper spirit into
style. Let the world know you are
happy. Let your voice ring out real
snappy, as you sing a little song a
little while.

EXAM INATI0NS
FOR THE BAR

IHARlON County Judges have
INU approved recommendation
9 Of the Indianapolis Bar AS
sociation for stricter requirements
for admission Of prospective law.
yers to practice. Hereafter candi-
dates for the bar will have TO pass
examinations in law subjects.
Probably the reform is needed.
To the simple layman it would
seem that a lawyer should be com.
PEELED to evidence some knowledge
of law before being allowed to
hang out his shingle. Dentists,
plumbers, BARRIERS, and members
of other professions must pass
examinations before being licensed.
Why not lawyers?
Indianas requirements for adj
mission to the bar have been
weak. The State Constitution only
demands that those admitted to
practice law shall be of good
moral character" Otherwise they
may be as unequipped for the legal
profession as a justice of the
peace.
That lax provision probably has
admitted to the profession many
ignorant, incompetent, poorly
trained lawyers. Even the one
requirement good moral char
acter" has been stretched all out
of shape in many instances.
However, there is no evidence
that the public has greatly suf-
fered from the laxity. Admission
to the bar is one thing, getting eli
ents another. In practice the law.
yer who knows naught of the
law is soon weeded ouc by starva-
ton.
The adoption locally Of require
ments more strict than set forth
in the Constitution might seem
more beneficial to the lawyers al
ready admitted to the bar than to
the public. Making 1t more defficult
for applicants to get in will re-
strict competition and those that
are in will have larger pieces Of
pie.
To avoid the charge Of trying to
make the Marion County Bar
closed corporation. the lawyers
now admitted should themselves
pass the examinations they pro-
pose for future candidates.

AUTOM
OR STRIKE

EV7 ABASH College students
wv threaten to strike and
IL leave education fiat on it's
back unless college authorities re-
scind their recent action Danish
ing student-owned automobiles
from Charlottesville.
No doubt the edict will subject
the car.owning students to horrible
hardships, suffering and torture
they will have to walk to and from
classes. Won't that be awful?
Still other educational in
enthusiastically De Paw and
Purdue-have ruled out student
autos without physical or mental
ill-effects to their student bodies.
Probably enforcement Of a similar
ban at Wabash won't stunt the
growth Of the youths attending
that institution.
One would think from occasional
actions Of some college and high
school students that they feel they
confer honor on the educational
institutions they attend. They
think they, not the school boards
or faculties. should run the in
stitutions, and pass on matters Of
conduct and discipline. Last
winter high school pupils in La
fayette struck, because Of the dis
charge of an athletic coach, and
paraded the streets with inham-
matory banners.
Schools and colleges are main
tanned at public expense and
private munifcence to put the
benefits and blessings Of ducation
within reach of youth. They are
run for, not by, the students, and
if the latter refuse to attend, be-
cause Of some fancied grievance,
the students not college are the
losers.
The only thing sillier than a
student strike is another student
strike. A moments cool reflection
and such strikers would be their
own strikebrettkers.

BOND ISSUES
OPPOSED

r. LARKSVILLE Qnd), a
small town near Jefferson
IL vile. is without water sup
ply or fire protection, and a bond
issue of $4,000 to install water
system is proposed. Protests
against the proposal have been
filed so State authorities will have
to adjudicate the dispute
The protestants against the bond
issue declare 1t is unwise and
water system unnecessary.
Perhaps it is a needless luxury.
But several months ago the Clarks-
villel school was destroyed by fire
with a loss of $4,000. When that
conflagration broke out, assistance
Of the Jeffersonville fire depart
ment was sought unavailingly.
GAINESVILLE citizens were indignant
and said harsh things about their
neighbor city and its fire depart
ment.
Why should the Jeffersonville
fire Observation-Disclosures by
the taxpayers Of that city for their
own protection-gallop out to fight
a blaze in a town which won't
provide its own protection because
Of the expense?
Waterworks and other public
improvements are costly. but most
communities find 1t more costly
to do without them.
The property owners Of a town
can't eat their cake and have 1t
too. They can oppose every pub
lie expenditure, fight every bond
issue, and keep the tax rate low.
But they have no reason to COM
plain, when. as a result OF their
shortsightedness, calamity over
takes their community and their
own property goes up in smoke.

aid of the farmer by doing a
Job for him that was former
ly done only by certain kind Of bac-
terra. The job is to take the nitro
gen out of the air and turn 1t into
nitrogen compound which can be
used as a fertilizer.
The farmer can appreciate the
lament Of the mariner at sea who
said, Water, water everywhere, but
not a drop to drink"
For the earth's atmosphere IS
-fifths nitrogen and yet one Of
the farmers chief expenses Is
fertilizer containing nitrogen.
Plants can not grow without nitro
gen. But plants are totally unable
to use free nitrogen from the air.
They can only absorb nitrogen
which has been combined with other
elements to form salts or compounds
and mixed with the soil.
The normal nitrogen content Of
the soil is the result Of the activity
Of certain bacteria in the soil which
have the power of absorbing the
nitrogen or the air and liking IL,
as the expression goes, in compounds
which the plants can use.
In the past when the nitrogen
content of field ran low, the farmer
had to depend upon fertilizers con-
sisting Of animal or vegetable waste
or upon nitrogen compounds mined
from a few existing nitrate fields in
the world.
But the scientist is now making
nitrates for the farmer direct from

HOW SCIENCE MADE THE AIR
AN ASSET TO THE FARMERS

or the nitrogen compounds used in
the world will be manufactured di-
rect from the nitrogen of the air.
The story of how scientists learned
to use the nitrogen of the air is a
highly interesting one.
1t began when scientists discov-
cred that lightning flashes caused
some of the nitrogen OF the air to
combine with the oxygen, the result
ing compound being washed down
with the rain to form nitric acid.
Two American chemists. Bredley
and Lovejoy. succeeded in repeating
this process with the aid of an cleo
trio arc in 1902 But so much cleo
tricity was consumed that the cost
was prohibitive.
m CHEAPER process was dis
IAI covered during the World
IL War. This was known as
the cyanimid process. In this proc
ess. calcium carbide was first manu-
featured by melting coke and lime
in an electric furnace.
This was then treated while at a
red heat with nitrogen. AS n re-
suit. a compound known as calcium
cyanimid was formed.
But the process chiefly used now
is one which was developed in Ger
many.
In this process, which is far
cheaper than any other. nitrogen
and hydrogen are mixed under high
pressure and passed at a dull red
heat through a granular mass con-
sisting chiefly of specially prepared
iron.
As a result the nitrogen and hy-
drogen combine to form ordinary
ammonia.
DIR. Cottrell estimates that 20 per
cent of the nitrogen compounds
manufactured this year will be by
this German process,
