Student Motor Trips

The Notre Dame students of South
Bend, Ind, have had the privilege of
motoring to intercollegiate games
withdrawn on the grounds of safety.
The institution feels responsible for
the lives as for the health of their
students and in view of the number
of fatal accidents occurring to college
students motoring between the va
rious colleges as revealed by a five
year. survey, the college authorities
feel justified in making this rule. The
students may go on tlai : With their
parents permission, but not in cars
even with the parents consent. Most
parents will be ready to approve
plan that is designed only to protect
the safety of their boys and girls
when away from home supervision.
Some colleges go step further and
rule that no cars may be kept for use
of boarding students. This is a good
disciplinary measure as we'll as one of
safety, also to be commended.

Birthday, Health Day

Medical associations everywhere
are emphasizing the Importance of the
early detection of bodily ailments.
Once year is not too often, espe-
cially after reaching middle life, for
the individual to take stock of his
physical condition. If one is feeling
pretty we'll the intention of having
this regular examination is apt to be
overlooked from one season to the
next. The best time, they all say,
is on each recurring birthday which
will naturally suggest the passing of
years and the possible decline of Wig
or. Many organic troubles and in
cipient cancer get so far advanced
before actual fear takes the patient
in belated visit to his physician that
the most that can be done is palliative
but not in any sense cure. While
the patient is the one to be most con-
cerned it is true that the professional
pride of the doctor is not gratified
when no cure is possible, no more
than would an expert mechanic enjoy
tinkering with machine that would
never function again in satisfactory
way. The medical tinkerers we cali
quacks but it seems there is a good
demand for them, while people con-
tinue to neglect their own health.

FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION OF
HIGHWAYS

coast to coast highway is advocated to be
built by the government in bill introduced
by Senator du Pont, of Delaware Now no.
body can charge that du Pont is a Bolshevik,
so that the measure will not be lampooned by
the anti-governement ownership crowd, as was
the proposition of some years ago by the late
William Jennings Bryan, when he proposed
to build federal highways and have the gov
ernment appropriate 500, 0,00O 900 for that pur-
pose or like the famous General Coxy, who
advocated non-interest bearing bond issue
for the construction of roads and the employ
ment of tn eidle by the government for the
construction of highways.
Du Pont ma ynot pass his BILL but he will
not be subjected to the unkind criticism of his
predecessors.
Times have changed and there have been
spent so many billions of the nations wealth
for less meritorious projects, that the mere
mention of doing something along newer lines
does not subject du Pont, the multi-milli llionaire
to the same attacks as were directed to the
forerunners of similar proposal for sentimen-
tai reasons rather than as a plain business
proposition, Building highways is undoubted-
ly a proper function for the federal govern
ment and it will so be recognized in time, es-
pecially if men of the type of du Pont are will
ing to advocate it,

Group Nursing
. ~ By M;

The poor patients receive free nurs-
ing in most large city hospitals, ana
the rich pay what seems extortionate
prices. Until now no distinction has
been made in prices for those OF only
moderate means. Since these last
make Tn S58 per cent of the cases in
the Chicago hospitals, the medical So
cicty of that city mas taken under
consideration a plan whereby people
of moderate incomes may have the
hospital care in less expensive way.
This will be arranged by assigning
some of the nurses to group duties
who will then be not only ION call''
with idle time but actually busy with
her rounds. The pay for the nurses
time will then be shared by the pa
tients, reducing the cost to a consid-
erable extent, just as ward accommo-
dations come cheaper The group
plan of assignments does not entail
the use of wards however. Separate
rooms may be had under the plan.

SOME POTATO CROP

In Aroostock county, Maine, upon the north
east tip of the United States, they grow pota-
toes big.
This year, Walter Christie, of Presque Isle,
in Aroostock county, produced $4,000 barrels
of potatoes on 1,100 acres, which every farm
er knows is better than an average crop.
The estimate cost of producing these pota-
toes is $1.70 barrel. By selling at $4.00 a.
barrel Mr.. Christie stands to clear $354,200,
surely not bad years work
Ever so often story of this nature is print
ed in the newspapers and travels half around
the world. It has quality called human inter-
est that makes news story good. 1t pictures
man as victor in his battle with nature.
And it seems to show all the farmer needs
lars, that the farm is gold mine needing only
to be promoted and exploited by it's owner.
The trouble with such story is that the bat
tie needs a background. 1t makes no mention
of the bad years for Arroostock County potato
rasers and there have been several bad years
since 1920.
And the farmer knows, too, he is getting but
83 cents for his dollar when measured against
pre-war prices as is shown in the report OF the
agricultural department of the federal govern
ment Up to October Is, a decline of percent
in the average of farm product prices is re-
ported. The price of all farm crops may be
shown at 13O with the pre-war prices taken as
100. but still, and ne knows 1t the farmer gets
but SO cents for his dollar when he steps into
the market to buy with it.

1t was in 1892 that the first corn
palace as an exhibit auditorium was
erected in Mitchell, S. d., at the NOM
inal cost of $4,000. 1t figured i'm a
fall fair the next season and then
came those six years of drouth which
sent many colonists to the South and
particularly to Fitzgerald. The idea
was used here in the fall of 1896 in
the form of corn and cotton palace
which was a small agricultural fair
housed in this one building, a quite
pretentious one for the times The
structure was erected on the present
Standard Oil Co.'s site and stood
through several seasons used for band
concerts and other entertainments un-
til it was destroyed by fire, being of
course, very inflammable building
In 1900 South Dakota had regained
her prestige as a grain state and re-
sumed her annual corn palace on a
much larger scale which has increased
in magnitude until now the value of
the building is $275,000 and draws
to its celebration thousands of visitors
from all over the state and from
those bordering it.

Can't Forget to Remember

When the film of Woodrow Viii
sons career was being shown in the
city hall of New York last. week,
evoking profound emotions and great
applause from his hundreds of ad-
mirers, this presentation being fol-
lowed by an eulogy from Mr.. George
Creel, one spectator and hearer was
prompted when the opportunity was
offered for questions to ask "Why
did not Wilson enter the war sooner
and save thousands of lives?" Her
query was answered in two ways by
Mr.. Creel but she appeared far from
satisfied. This questioner was Mrs.
Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, a sister
of Theodore Roosevelt and recalls
the insistence of the famous chief to
take an army of volunteers from the
United States into the world war in
the earlier period of conflict. Will
son firmly, and later developments
would show, wisely, opposed this
move. At least his family and the
rough riders were with Roosevelt in
sympathy and one of these shows she
does not forget.

Model Farm, Master Farmer

Kay County, Oklahoma, is telling
the world about the type of farmer
their section boasts. A contest plan
was carried out by the suggestion of
Mr.. Carl Williams, Oklahoma City
member of the federal agricultural
board, nationally known worker for
better farm conditions. The scheme
aroused so much interest, that those
observing it consider it only matter
of time until the states and the nation
may take up the idea of determining
who is the master farmer of the ma
ton. 1t has much more to recon-
mend it than the state and country
wide beauty contests that are featur-
ed every year. Anyway the local
winner was Mr.. Joseph A. Trip.
aged 81, selected out of eighteen can
didates. There were 1000 possible
points to be considered and Mr.. Tripp
was given $50 of these. Some of the
pointes considered by the judges in
cluded every phase of farming, and
also upkeep of the soil, buildings, la
bor-saving devices, horsepower eff
cheney, neatness of premises, business
reputation, civic spirit, education and
training of children. Mr.. Tripp start

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA"

Under the caption of Marching Through
Georgia Sixty Years Afterwards" Ralph A.,
Graves has recently told of what he saw and
heard in that splendid Southern state during
the past summer, the story occupying large
part of late number of the Geographic Mag
azine and illustrating through photographed
reproductions many of the scenes visited and
experiences enjoyed by the author. The IA
miliar title, which is intended to suggest thel
recovery and advance of state of wonderful
resources, after suffering devastation in great
part during the war between the states, att
once attracts attention. and then, as the reader
progresses in the narrative it is to become
greatly interested in Georgia, and perhaps TO
have new ideas concerning it.
Georgia, as found by Mr.. Graves in 1926.
offered remarkable diversity i'll physica con
ditions, almost endless variety in opportunities
for activity, agricultural, commercial and in
dustrial and comprises territory nearly as
great as the greatest. With climatic condi-
tions unsurpassed, Georgia ranges from noun
tains to seaboard and extends far to the east
and west. The Georgia of the sixties has
greatly changed in the sixty years intervening.
and many great plantations have been divided
and cities and towns and villages have come
into existence since the hosts of war marched
through. But the fertile lands, the forests and
streams the picturesque highlands and noble
mountains, are the same, and Georgia enter
prise and pluck and perseverance have
brought her far on the road to perfection.
While Georgians and many others may
know the Georgia Of today, as pictured in the
Graves article, thousands of others who have
perhaps but vague idea of the area, the i'm
portance, the works and pleasures of Georgia.
will have become better informed through a
perusal of the story Even her neighbors, in
Florida, where Georgians are met at every
turn have not often visualized the variety,
beauty and worthy things of Georgia. The

things that mark Georgia as splendid COM
monwealth, with thousand opportunities
awaiting the ambitious and thrifty.
Georgia has been discovered by a great

IT'S AN OLD JOKE,
BUT TRUE
By DR.. Frank Crane

Some jokes, like kitten, apparent
ly have nine lives.
Dressed in new clothes, they appear
perennially.
Such joke is the old gag about
the small town sport who stood be-
fore an elite eating place at meal
times chewing toothpick to give the
impression he had just dined within.
Everyoneone laughs at the story,
with perhaps somtened malice, for to
some extent he recognizes a kinship
with the hero.
The genuine, sincere, unassuming
man, who is content to appear what
he is and nothing more, is the mil
lionth man.
What most people want is to be
known as great rather than simply be
great.
Try this on yourself.
If you were offered the chance to
have all the power and greatness, as
well as all the responsibility, work
and bause, of a president of the
United States and have no one ever
know you were president--never get
credits for great acts if accomplished
would you accent? ~
Isn't recognition ana not just pure
achievement the thing desired?
OF course recognition is part of it,
but when it becomes the most impor.
tant consideration, it assumes an evil
influence.
Not everyone who says he desires
power and success really desires those
things.
They are synonymous with work
worry and responsibility.
What those who say they want
them to desire is the by-products OF
power and success, the toothpicks and
not the meal.
They want the yachts, the trips to
Palm Beach and the Packard limou.
sines.
To really eat you must pay, to
chew toothpick costs nothing.
To really achieve costs work and
self-denial; to seem to achieve (fo1
time) requires only weak con-
science. ..
Every "show-off" desires the re-
suits of achievement, but is unwilling
to pay the price. He would rather
chew the toothpick of fraud than eat
the substance of paid-in-advance ac-
tuality.
To seem to be, to all but the
shrewdest eye, has all the attractions
and none of the hardships of actual
being.
In Sunday School we used to sing;
This day the noise of battle;
The next the Victor's song.
The noise of battle must precede
the song of victory. The Royal Or
der of Toothpick Chewers try to re-
verse the sequence, and it can't be
done.

Lo, the Rich Indian!

The assistant U. S. Indian commits
sioner, Mr.. Edgar Merit, has made
the assertion that the American In
dian can no longer be called the "van-
ishing race" He, says that their
number is now increasing about 1900
per annum due to the work of the In
dian bureau along educational and
health lines. He further says that
the per capita wealth of the Indians
is now about double the per capita
wealth of any other citizens of this
country and much greater than
among any other people of the world.
This is due to the discovery and de-
velopment of oil resources on the pri-
vately owned lands of those in GER
tain parts of the west. Of course
not all Indians have had any part in
this good fortune but the fabulous
wealth of some is making the per
capita estimate very large.
