WHAD D'YOU
KNOW?

INVESTMENT: The Bureau of
Railway Economics says that
nearly 80 per cent of all the in.
producing endowments Of
principal colleges, universities and
technical schools in the United
States are invested in steam rail
way securities. Sixty-five insti-
tutions reported investments of
8,270,933. Leland Stanford Uni
versity in California has nearly
$4,000, 900 invested in railway
stocks and bonds.
TESTIMONIAL: The president
of a packing company at Cana
johrie. N. Y, recently received
an engrossed resolution from the
people of Mohawk Valley, be-
cause he would not sell his PACK
ing company. The occasion was
made a public holiday.
The Dodge Brothers estate over
looked an opportunity of this
sort, for mere s85.O00.000. The
country is certainly becoming
mercenary.
STUNG: The Midwest Review
asks:
Did you ever notice that the
family owning the car has to buy
all the gas, pay for the dinner at
the hotel or roadhouse, in fact,
from the time he puts on his
goggles and his outfit, and invites
his neighbor for a ride, he is
the goat"
A great deal OF homely sense
arises in the middle west. But,
for heavens sake, Mr.. Kessinger,
do they still wear goggles out
there?
SNOWFALL SAFE: The fol
lowing excerpt is from Our

the Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals:
SNOWFALL" THE WHITE MULE
This fine old mule, grown old in
the service of the United States. II
was reported some weeks ago had
been sold at auction. This was hard
to believe. We wrote the command
ing officer at Fort Douglas. Utah,

the army:

Dear Sir
beg to acknowledge receipt of
your letter and / wish to advise
YOU that the article referred to is in
error The white mule which was
disposed Of at auction sale was not
SNOWFALL" and this animal was not
condemned for old age.
SNOWFALL remains the property
OF the Government and Is kept at
the quartermaster stables at this
post He is cared for in an efficient
manner.
Army regulations require that old
animals be humanely destroyed when
old age renders them unserviceable
and when their condition Is such that
to sell them would be cruel Any
animal which is condemned and
sold is serNiceable to certain degree
for civilian purposes. Animals
chronically lame and so disabled that
they cannot be restored to health
are destroyed in a humane manner.

not very much worse than our
n, ,esent treatment of criminals
and in reality exactly echoes Mr..
Rosenstein's sentiments. Many
a man may, in reality, be no
more responsible for his crime
than these Ieeches were, and yet.
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T ACT
eOOFY, the average juryman
has no hesitation in judging him
SANE AND RESPONSIBLE.
The public is not to be blamed
for this attitude. There mas
been no effort to instruct the lay
mind in psychology. How is the
average grammar school, or even
high school, graduate, crudely
versed in the three RS. with no
scientific training whatever, to
know that there are thousands OF
forms of mental illness which
have little or no outward demon
stration?
In the recent insanity trial Of
a matricide the argument was
generally advanced on the street
that the girl couldn't be insane
because she had splendid marks
in school and because she showed
that she understood the whole
trial perfectly and was, indeed,
a brilliant witness when put on
the stand" To Mr.. Rosensteln
and Mr.. Burke those arguments
Seem conclusive. Scientifically,
however, they're worthless. Some
of the most hopelessly insane
criminals not only had hlgn
marks in schools but made bril-.
liant records in social, lndustrlal
or professional life. very oIten
the violently insane have most
nerfect manners, keen 1ntellects
and an amazing ability to pre-
sent and argue their cases. very
often. indeed, their insanity IS
onIv intermittent and they func-
ton normally for weeks, months
or wears at a time. Or their IN
sanity may mask itself behind dem
onatrations which we have long
treated with respect-religious
fervor. motherly anxiety, woman
ly timidity, intense reserve. a
truly dangerous maniac may
quite as often trick us through
our svmpathies as through our
antagonisms. Either our pity or
our hatred raise havoc with JUS
tice in our present state OF ig-
norance.
So the next time you read
psychiatrical report on crime
Pal, do not be Mr.. Rosenstein
and cry out: "Wouldnt tnls
bunk get your goat! AS If any
simp didn't know you're not IN
sane unless you act goofy.

Donald Mcmillan thinks the
ice cap of the northern polar re-

He says the Esquimax are sure
that valleys formerly grassy are
now filled with glaciers. A Har-

a tendency toward warmth.

southern waters are coming to
Norway What do you think Of
the tendency? Are we half way

everybody's satisfaction, nor per-

astronomical theory is in the as

The astronomical theory as

ton Of the Winters of the North
ern Hemisphere to the aphelion

owing to the precision of the
equinoxes combined with the
revolution of the line of apsides,
the northern Winter occurs with
the earth at the aphelion (or far
ther) end of its orbit.
This accentuates the severity
of winter, and when combined
with a high degree Of eccentricity

To Wear at a Wedding


DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ At an afternoon wedding
where tuxedos are worn do the
ushers and best man wear the
same color ties as the groom, or
does the groom wear a white tie
and the others black ties?
(2) Do the groom, best man
and ushers wear gloves or 10
they jus. carry the gloves, and,
if so, what color gloves?
(3) If the wedding takes place
in the summer rs 1t proper for
the men to wear straw hats with
the tuXedos?
IT is never correct to wear a
white tie with a tuxedo. And
this rule does not vary, even for
the formality of a wedding. it
is not correct either to wear a
tuxedo before o'clock in the
evening. Do you wish me to send
you a pamphlet on the correct
dress for gentlemen at an eve
ming wedding and a day we'd
ding?.
(2l think with this informal
attire that it would be better not
to wear gloves, for they would
only serve to emphasize the IN
formality OF the clothes.
(3) Yes.
Mrs. Beckman will be glad to
answer questions on etiquette
submitted by readers.

NO "EQUINOCTIAL" STORMS

The u. s. weather bureau sets at rest the
old belief prevalent in Europe and Amer
lea that severe storms the so-called "e-
quin0ctiaI storms" or ''equinoctial gales"
accompany the %equinoxes of Mar. ri or Of
Sept. p. The faIlacy of this idea consists
IN identifying any storm that occur with
in a week, or several weeks, ofthe equin-
OK as the" eQuinoctial storm. Stats
ties shows that there is no maximum of
storm frequency, either in this country
or in Europe, close to the date of equin-
OK.
OF course, storms do occur about
these dates but this is only natural, just
as they occur at other times of the year.
Science knows of no reason why storms
should be especially frequent at the G.
o~uinoXes. The belief i'm this country that
an equinOctial storm is a regular recur-
renee has been fostered by the fact that
West Indian hurricanes are most COM
mon during the late summer and early
autumn. Occasionally a severe storm of
this character sweeps up the Atlantic
coast, doing a great deal of damage and
attracting general attention. If it hap
pens anywhere near the equinox it is
sure to be heralded as the equin0ctial
storm. Ibid.
