wF YOUR FOOT is
PRETTY SHOW 1T"

An old-fashiOned mother said to heI
| beautifully formed and pretty daugh
ter the other day: Darling, that gown
is exquisitely pretty, but don't you
think you ought to wear a petticoat
or something under it?" The careless
answer was nevertheless food for
! deep thought: what for, mother
I'm not deformed."
1t is only Objectionable to expose
that which is ugly. The human fig
ure in the nude, is used all over the
world to express the beautiful in art.
Too much modesty lost million
aire the handsOmest and lovliest lady
in the world. Her natural charm was
visible only when she appeared in
public scantily attired, but once re-
proved for being immodest, she in-
vited her fate by hiding beautiful
figure that was her best asset, not
only to her admirer, but to the whole
world.
A beautifully formed stage celeb
rity, Ada Rehan, was selected by rep
resentatives of the u. S. Mint for a
figure on the American coin and legal
tender Yet there are those who be-
lieve intensely that exposition of the
human form is not only immodest
but vulgar and indecent.
Is it too much intellectually, and
are the teachings and tenets of edu-
cation coming down to the level of
sands of years ago?
The Northern EskimOs know no.
thing of immOdesty, neither did they
ever see anything vulgar or indecent
in exposing the human form Until
the missionaries entered Siberia. and
Alaska, these simple primitive people
lived in their underground igloos ut
terly without clothing. On the Asi.
attic shores of the Northlanad, natives
still shed all clothing when retiring
to their underground habitations,
where they live only in natures garb
and see nothing immodest in being
utterly nude. They are still as prim-
tive as Adam and Eve in the Garden
of Eden.
How many of us are happier, or
more cOntented than Eskimos in this
densely populated civilization, with
it's intensely refined religious beliefs?
They know nothing of exhibiting their
fellow man, and wouldn't do it if
they did. With us, it's "the devil
take the hindmost, but get the mon
ey." During great fires or holocaust
the highly educated and refined So
ciety idols find a common level with
their fellows; no immodesty in the
nude then. Why should it be any
more so at other times and places
in a great big world where we must
all live together. Why not try to see
the good in nature instead of evil?

HERESY IN THE. PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF TENNESSEE

While we of Arizona are having a
warm time here this summer, in Ten
nessee they are having it real hot
The State is prosecuting several ed
ucational heads of the public schools
for teaching evolution, contrary to
the statutes Of that state. Tennessee
desires it distinctly understood that
man did not emanate from monkey
but that he came direct from God and
no man shall teach otherwise. Heresy
will naturally be the charge. In We
olden times, hereto was put tC
death. Billy Bryan is to represent
the State as prosecutor.

Form Habit of Knowing What You
Buy.-To our friends from the coun-
try the injunction is 'be careful what
you buy" The merchant who sells
carpets, clothes, or lingerie and marks
them ~ off, or "11a off,, and who is
afraid to pin his cost bill to the object
sold as proof that he is truthful, may
in all cases be doubted. The newspa-
per man who sells advertising is re-
quired to furnish proof of his bona
fide circulation to the merchants.
Why not the same to the public when
window display says "A off,? Most
merchants are honest. They are the
ones the Housewives enjoy telling their
neighbOrs about. Then, too, there are
the others who are talked about in
suppressed tones. In things not seen
use the Missouri slogan, "Show me-,

Cranks Usually Recognize Each
Other.-Dr. Frank Crane, local con-
tributor, has his name misspelled!
The last letter of his last name ought
to have been "k". If he had a wife
that disagreed with him he'd leave
her. Ditto husband, if he was fe-
male. Lucky for Mr. Crank. for the
chances are he'd be in limbo for non
support of a legion of kids and several
wives. But, as universally acknowl-
edged, there are men cantankerous

Lewis wants publicity, for
publicity sells books and he re
ccivcs a royalty. Lewis knows
there are more than a hundred
thousand Rotarians who may
hear his book discussed and buy
one. In attacking or nisrepre-
senGrr Rotary, Lewis attacks ev-
other civic club, for each IS
builded along the same princl-
pies and general lines as Rotary.
Too often the public thinks OF
the modern civic club as q sort
Of chamber Of commerce. 1t IS
nothing Of the sort. Their mem
bers should be-and 05 percent
are-menbers of their respcc-
tive chambers OF commerce,
but Rotary and Kiwanis and
Civitan and Palladium clubs are
fellowship clubs and not pri-
marily town boosters at all.
At times these clubs under
take and foster certain civic ot-
fairs, but that is d side issue.
Their function Is TO build friend
ships among men, to break down
the barriers between compct-
tors; 10 spread a gospel OF good
fellowship and dealing; 10 cor
rect, insofar as they may, sharp

A major portion Of then work
is for boys. IF Rotary had never
done more than to send DR.;
Charles Barker over the land
with his lectures to men, women,
boys and girls, it would have
earned its place in the sun.
Ii was Rotary which FIRST ruled
cut intoxicants and smutty
stories around the male banquet
table. Its motto Is no empty
phrase, for most Rotarians try 10
I've and teach that he who
serves best profits most. i is
Rotary and other clubs of Ike
nature which have discovered
that service in business should
and must come before self.
The Lewises and the Menck-
ems are simply bidding for cheap
notoriety. Their opinions on
most subjects are discounted by
thinking men. They have build
ed their regulations for brillian-
cy by an ability to sling mud and
tear down. Neither have added
any worthwhile thing to The
world they seek to exploit and
not to serve.
Rotary and Kiwanis and Pal
ladium and Civilian will continue
10 serve and to build manhood

sire for universal peace among
men long after the Lewises and
Menckens have passed and their
graves and burial places forgot

stopped until whatever hour at night
is necessary.
Cooperation of the University in
establishing, junior college in the
Valley w S assured by Presiden: Splawn
Of the University, and Mr.. Yoe states
that he believes Brownsville should take
steps to secure this college both fol
the benefit Of this city and Of other
cities in the. Valley.
In order to secure this cooperation
the city must give the use of its build
surrounding cities at least 100 students
at a tuition of $3.50 year each.
Mr.. Yoe's statement to the board con
cerning the proposed junior college here
follows;
For the past two years I have in
dicatcd in my report to you that the
most urgend need Of Brownsville and
the Valley was standard Junior Col
lege to crown the splendid system Of
high schools in this section. Hereto
fore it would have been impossible for
US to have set up and maintained such
an organization, for all funds for its
support must have come from local tax
alton and we could not add more to the
burden we now CORY. At the suggestion
and through the efforts of President
Splawn, San Antonio is now setting up
radically new scheme of support for
a Junior College.
The city schools of San Antonio are
called upon to give the use of their
buildings, after regular school hours
to the university for the purposes Of
the Junior College. The schedule of stu
dies commences at the close of the pub
lie school day and continues as long as
is necessary into the night, possibly at
ten o'clock Inthis manner students
could for part Of the day and
attend classes in the evening. In aG
dition to the use of their buildings and
equipment the city and surrounding
territory must furnish as many as 10C
eligible students for the college, at a
tuition rate of $3.50 per year. In other
words, local students mGy obtain the
first two years of standard university
work at a. cost of one hundred fifty
