Passage Of the amended traffic bill
is confidently expected either today or
tomorrow following the signing of the
conferees' report yesterday by Repre-
sentative Gilbert Of Kentucky, the last
remaining member of the committee to
affix his signature to this important
measure. All differences regarding the
bill have now been ironed out. and
Washington will soon be operating I'M
der code that, while not perfect. is
a decided improvement on the one now
being administered.
Representative Gilberts action in
promptly signing the report upon his
return to the city Is especially crafty
ing to Neutrality-suspicious.. One of the con-
troversial points in the measure was
the taxicab concessions. The House.
when ii passed the bill, added a clause
which prohibited private companies
from monopolizing street space. The
Senate District committee rejected this
provision, and it was expected that the
House conferees would insist on its re-
tention.
When the conferees met. however.
there was Immediately noticeable a de-
sire to obtain prompt action regardless
Of the compromises necessary. Repre-
sentative Gilbert. due to absence from

This matter of the annuities Is COM

Doubtless it is good policy on the
part of the Government employees con-

A UNIQUE Paradise.

The American paradise has been
discovered! The place every one
! dreams about, the place where every
one wishes he lived-in short. the ideal
community-has been unea rthed. Hid
den away in Clayton County, Iowa, is
,, the tiny village of Garnavillo. Its
Inhabitants number 349. Every man
owns his own home and IL engaged in
gainful occupation. 1t has no Jail.
There has not been an arrest within
the memory Of the oldest native. 1t
is six miles from a railroad, a bus
has replaced the old stage coach
| which, before the days of steam, jour
neyed to meet the boats that locked
nearby. One hardware and one furni-
ture store as we'll as a few grocery
stores and markets supply the needs
Of the people. No one In the village
has ever known the meaning of hard
times. 1t Is situated in one of the rich
est farming belts in Iowa. Telephones.
! tractors and radios are in common
use and the homes are of modern
style.
But, most wonderful Of all-and this
deserves separate paragraph-the
village has two banks and the total
! Of deposits in these institutions is
/ - 500 600. The Farmers State Bank
was organized twenty years ago and
| SIS per cent Of its stock Is owned by
the farmers, no man owning more
than ten shares OF stock and some
| owning only two. The Garnavillo
! Savings Bank now has deposits of
more than 100000
Another item of interest Is that the
hardware store last year did a gross
business of some $40, 900 and the fur
niture store disposed of $4,000 worth
of goods. The history of this UNIQUE
village has come TO light through its
! bank report, just filed with the State
Banking Department. But for that
and the diligence of a reporter the
world would never have known of
| this paradise in the heart of America
Garnavillo citizens are indeed to be
| congratulated. They have solved the
age.old problem of content and happi-
ness in these times of struggle and

unto themselves and the rest of the
world envies them and their commu-
| nifty. May they live long. continue

zenship in this hurry burly struggle

THINK 1T OVER
DO We Overeducate?
Bv William Mdther Lemis,
President George Washington University

If school and college are to develop
thinkers they must have good
grade of material with which to work.
A larger percentage of American
youth is attending college today than
was found in the high schools in
1890. Because Of the universally
awakened appreciation Of the value
Of education there are fiockinG to the
doors Of our institutions countless
thousa nds many with the capacity 10
take advantage of what is offered.
but many others without the mental
equipment or the stamina To achieve
|, results.
The university, in fairness to itself
and to the youth who come to its
doors, must ascertain the impulse
which prompted desire for member
ship in the academic body: must weigh
the capacity of the individual: must
not yield to the craze for numbers and.
through lowering essential standards
and creating multitudinous courses.
become an intellectual five-andten-
cent store. Thousands Of youths
without the capacity for higher edu
cation are found in our colleges to-
day. Other thousands. who have the
capacity. are not enjoying the priv
ileee. An outstanding educational
problem is TO limit the opportunity
of those lacking capacity, but to give
to all who have capacity the oppor-
tunity. no matter what their financial
limitations may be.
And this means revision OF
entrance requirements. We are now
asking only a record of accomplish
r,ent. not of possibility. The director
of admissions of Columbia University
we'll says: Many a student does and
should graduate from high school
without being a suitable subject for
a college education. just as many
student graduates and should grad
nate from college who Is not of Ph. ".
caliber."
This situation accounts for the
growing interest in the intelligence
test. We need a gauge in the Esso-
line tank.
(Coprriyht 1871

Three men. sitting in a bus, were
discussing the subject of clubs.
II belong to a golf club" said one
My dues were sos last year, and I
played Z games"
THAT made your golf cost SIS a
game, eh?" said the second man.
Yes" smiled the tall fellow, and
how about you?"
We'll, let me see," unused the sec
ond. II belong to a tennis club, and
paid SIS as a charter member last
year, and played-let me see-yes,
just two sets"
Which made your tennis cost you
$3.50 a set"'
II got you all beat" piped up the
third man. 81 belong to "A club which
has the nominal dues of 81 a. month.
| never use the clubroom. and do not
like the types of outings. | merely
attend the banquet every two years" -
(which makes you pay $24 for one
banquet, eh?" grinned the first man.
Exactly"
Put in this light, the amusement Of
the gentlemen seemed to all concern
ed to be pretty expensive. They
agreed that to get ones moneys
worth it is necessary either to make
use OF a club or to drop out.
Yet how many hundreds of persons
continue to belong. for any one of a
number OF reasons, and continue to
pay, unknowingly. exorbitant prices
for their amusement?
kk
The thing resolves itself down, in
the last analysis, to whether one really
dares to be himself or not. TO most
men, 1t is easier to stay in a club
which has failed to hold their at
tention than 1t is to send in a letter
Of resignation.
"Oh, 1t Is only so much a year
Yes, but this $50 much IS, indeed,
so much that might be more profit.
ably used by the person involved.
Think what the man who paid $i'
for his golf per game might have
done with his money, Once he really
cared to play the game. and enjoyed
it, but family and business duties al
last got the better of him. and for a
number of years he has played only
seven or less games per year
The fellow who went in for his
tennis at seven and a half Iron men
per set might have used his money
TO better purpose. whereas the poor
chap who paid $24 for his banquet
once every two years, deserves the
pity of mankind.
The latter gentleman, who is a
great lover OF flowers. has confided
TO us that If he did not have TO pay
his nominal dues-oh, yes. merely
nominal--he would join the American
Rose Society, at SO year, and the
American Gladiolus Society, at 81 a
year. and enjoy the annual book pub
lished by the former. and the monthly
magazine put ont by the latter.
He still would have $14 left. with
which TO meet the demands around
his Office for subscriptions to weddin .
presents. flowers. etc. etc. He is al
ways glad to chip in and ha never
missed a chance To do So but since
that converse ton on the bus that day
he has gazed rather wistfuliv in the
direction of his vanishing club dues
y Il
After all, it is not 80 much n money
matter as 1t Ia of leading ones own
life to suit ones own ideas of the
proper and right.
Dare YOU be yourself?

Mr.. Gilbert, returning yesterday, was
