Not Only of Air

1t is a splendid thing for Wash
ingtcn and New York to give Lind
bergh such welcome, hut let it
not be forgotten that San Diego
produced the airplane, that st. Louis
supplied the money and that Detroit
is the home of his mother. Also let
it not be forgotten that America
looks to her young men to perform
just as wonderful feats of heroism
in the future and that she must be
prepared to reward them with
equally distinguished honors.
Not only the conquest of the air.
but many of the more routine
phases of life which we are apt to
disregard in our excitement con-
stantly called for deeds of bravery.
Seven hundred thousand people
were not saved from drowning in
the Mississippi flood without risk
or sacrifice.
Nor does one need to hunt the
great disasters or spectacular or
triumphs for acts OF courage that
are worth recognition.
Every day in the week we find
some one in this Nation of over
10O,000,000 people taking chance,
performing a service or achieving a
victory that is worth more than
honorable mention.

TRACY
SAYS:
Smith College Girls Haze
Put q Ban on Stockings
and VIII Go About the
Campus Bare Legged IN
Hot Weather.

The principal of San Francisco
school ordered Bobby Anderson to
so home because he was barefooted
and wore overalls.
Bobby happened to be the son of
a World War veteran who lies sick
in the hospital and of a mother
who, instead CT asking for charity,
supports herself and family on $50
a month. If the public schools of
America were designed to serve any
purpose it was to guarantee the
children of such parents an educa-
ton.
They we're certainly not destined
to create a spirit of snobbishness
and put premium on the ability
to dress well.
The people of San Francisco are
to be congratulated in coming to
the rescue of this barefoot boy the
way they did and in forcing the
school authorities to reverse the I'M
just order against him in less than
three hours.
