Well, for one thing, Idiot, it's

The Making of Americans

In London this spring when presentations were
being made at the Court of ST. James, an American
mother whose daughter had been presented Volun-
teered the information that she thought the preSenta
ton would give her daughter social advantages at
home that she might not otherwise have.
Probably the father through his influence with
Ambassador Houghton made it possible for the
daughter to be received court which was all rlgnt
ANYTHING to please the good wife; and with many Oh
Them nothing pleases more than social prestige.
But Just why being received at court should cut
anv figure in ones social standing in this country
isn't so easily understood. King George doesn't know
ANYTHING about the Americans who doll up travel
TO Buckingham Palace and kiss the respective hands
of the king and queen. They are vouched for by the
American ambassador and friendship and political
null on the part of husbands and fathers determine
who shall be received.
5 And certainly being received over there isn't any
indication of social pre-eminence over here.
The Joke of the whole thing is well Illustrated by
the reception at court last May Of the main mogul
Of the Daughters of the American Revolution Preen-
ing themselves on being descendants of some OF our
forefahers who were either generals or suffers IN the
Revolutionary Army when it fighting the tyranny
Of George III these descendants tickled pink to
get the chance to kiss the hand of the present King
George.
And they come home, thinking they are something
different from the ordinary run of American citizens

Sail Onl

Eight hundred years ago the re-
ligiouS complex manifested itself in
the Crusades. The Crusades result
ed in an awakening of the human
intellect. Gunpowder and the print
ing press broke feudalism. Men
looked at the bowl of the sky for the
first time in their lives with I'M
daunted eyes and wondered If the
world might not be round.
The crowd shouted "blaSphemy,' u
but a few bold spirits went on.
What was hereSy soon became &C
cepted as an undisputable fact.
If the real ocean was safe to sail,
why not the ocean of dreams? Thus
our forefatherS came to demand the
right to talk and think. The right
to think has brought us machinery
and science. The commercial era
in which we live was a product of
the political era, and, in its turn,
is giving birth to new era.
Comes the engineer, the chemist,
the geological sharp and hundred
other highly trained specialists to
take over the leadership which
merchants and lawyers have exer-
cised, and which they took over
from soldier and priest. Horizons
expand, the outlook changes, but
why be afraid2

He Hats in Elevators

Seattle newspaper has assigned a reporter to in
vestigae whether in that city their hats
in elevators, and whether they should.
The results obtained thus far inconclusive.
Some do, it seems, some do not; and there is no
agreement on the propreties involved.
Hasn't this investigation raised much than a
local issue?
The presidential campaign, thus far, has generated
enormous amount of discussion of headgear-brown
derbes in particular. But candidate has declared
himself the question of what should be done with
a hat in elevator.
Some cities, Denver, for example have tried to set
tie the question by issuing formal proclamations de-
claring it longer Is essential to good form for
to remove their hats in elevators
The plan has proved only moderately successful,
because it lacks the weight of national authority and
it still is possible for visiting hat doer to cause
embarrassment by following the rules of the old school,
If the presidential candidates would declare not
only their preferences in hats but also their views
the knoty question of how they should be handled in
elevators, after being removed, it might pave the way
toward solution.
If it be objected that ones handling of hat in
elevator is, after ALL distinctly personal problem
it need only be remarked that prohibition buks large
in the campaign.

A Vikings Death

The light on the beach of Edge Island was
not signal after all, but fire built by fisher
men. Search parties are being withdrawn, and
the world admits, with catch in it's throat,
that Roald Amundsen is gone.
The greatest CT the Vikings that we of this
generation have known has gone down in his
ship. An airship, to be sure, but carrying the
passenger that it did, we feel it sought the sea
when the end came, and gave to the element
that made him great the man who could have
no other fitting grave than lonely sunless seas.
He was an old and splendid man, and he
passed in the way that old and splendid men
should pass, adventuring to the end. There
should be no grief in that for us, no mawkish
talk of a last task that he had been called to
do, after his rightful toll of tasks was done.
And yet-and yet
We wish that watch-fre on the beach had
been his signal We wish that when younger
voyagers start for the unknown places of the
earth they still could counsel with him, and
carry his blessing on their way.
But Road 'Amundsen is gone.

Liberated Brains

This age of inventiveness owes its
birth to free government. Outside
of that. politics has contributed
little, and can contribute little to
material prosperity.
What people gained through
democracy was the right to think.
Exercising that right has enabled
them to better their condition.
All that politics can do from now
on is to safeguard them in the pos
session of that right.
Law never did and never will
enable a man to produce more, but
law has given him the opportunity
to develop ways of producing more.
What humanity won through the
substitution of Republican for
monarchial form Of government was
liberty. Liberty has proved bless
ing not because it gave the soapbox
orator a chance to shoot of his
mouth, bat because 1t gave the
student the right to exploit the
product of his brain.
Free thought was impossible
without free speech, but let us not
mistake the relative value Of the
two.

mixed great deal of the practice of magic with
medicine.
The Greeks who did so much for all sciences, adj
vanced medicine greatly.
Eippocrates, Aristotle and Galen stand out among
the great names in Greek medicine.
Rome adopted Greek medicine Progress made
but no distinct Roman contributions forth
coming
Greek medicine spread to the Arabs \as well as
Rome and when Rome fell it was the Arabs who kept
Greek medical knowledge alive.
Then came the Middle Ages, sometimes called the
Dark Ages. But as Dr. Lynn Thorndyke and other
recent historians have pointed out the Dark Ages
net quite dark they have usually been painted.
There morefprogress made during them than has
been popularity supposed.
But it is a fact that during this time experimental
ton for the most part banned and many of the
old texts Of the Greeks became corrupted through
faulty translations.
The thirteenth century saw the rise of the uni
versities.
The fifteenth century, brought the great revival of
learning, the Renaissance. Scholars turned once
to the ancient manuscripts and rediscovered the
ancient Greek writers.
1t inevitable that they should also rediscover
the Greek spirit, the necessity of open-mindedness
the Importance of relying on experimentation and
not authority.
And this lowered into the revolt of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries.

.HREE Ford ships arrive in Bra

THREE Ford ships arrive in Bra
i zil, with material, machinery,
engineers, doctors and mechanics
to start work on great rubber
plantation.
Business men of Para are re-
ported as enthusiastic. They hail
the arrival of these ships as presag-
ing the dawn of a new era for the
Amazon valley.
Newspapers and politicians take
different view. They regard the
enterprise as presaging an invasion
Of foreign capital. To them, such
an invasion appears peculiarly
dangerous Notwithstanding the
good it may do thousands of
hungry, ignorant, unemployed
people.
Just another clash between the
idea of prosperity through statute
and that of prosperity through
business.
Our own campaign is overloaded
with such CUFF One would think
to hear the chatter that we owe
everything to the laws and regula-
tionS made in Washington, and that
steam engines, gasoline, chemistry
and other manifestations Of intel
ligence had nothing to do with our
present comfortable situation.

Guarding the Future

The International Printing Pressmen's Union has
undertaken project which extends the usefulness
of the organization beyond the usual conception OF
the purposes of a trade union
1und of $15OOOOO is to be raised for establish
ment OF widows and orphans colony in conjunc-
ton with the home for pressmen maintained by the
union in Tennessee. Interests from the fund will be
used for the erection of cottages and for the payment
of pensions, whether the benef1ciares come to the
colony remain at home
President George L. Berry expects to raise $25OOOO
through private contributions, and the remainder OF
the fund will be obtained by assessing members $12
year for three years
Members of the union thus are providing a sort
of insurance They will know that whatever happens,
their dependents will not suffer actual want
Other labor organizations will watch the expert
nent with interest.

Adolescence Time of Important Changes

ing the ages from IL to 20, but the
possibility Of danger to the child's
health during this period is as great,
if not greater, than at any other.
Particularly the expenditure of
energy must be observed and over
strain in attention and in social
activities.
During this period of growth the
muscles develop somewhat more
slowly than do the bones. For some
time it was thought that this fact
was responsible for growing pains,
but it now is definitely believed that
these pains are associated with in
fections in the nose and throat and
rheumatic complications
Between the ages of Is and Is,
the volume of the heart becomes
nearly doubled. Some children re-
act unfavorably to this development
with fear responses, but there seems
to be no reason to believe that the
rapid development of the heart is to
be controlled in any way.

Governors Day

Today is Governors day at the State Fair.
It is pleasing custom of all State fairs to set
aside one day in honor Of the chief executive.
The custom started with the idea of inspir-
ing the youth of the State with ambition to
serve the State, reminder that in this Nation
every boy and now every girl has chance to
become Governor if ideas and ideals and cour-
age and character combine to lead in that di-
rection
This year Governors day should serve as
a reminder to every citizen that Indiana needs
a Governor to whom the boys and girls OF this
State may look for example and inspiration.
No father, conceivably, would desire to
point to Governor and tell him: "Watch your
STEP. Hide your acts for two years and you can
not be punished. Be very careful that you are
not discovered until the statute of limitations
has blotted out your crimes and then you may
remain in the Governors office or your own
Office. Follow the example of the Governor and
keep out Of jail.
eff you need money, sell horse. Be care
full to get good price. You can, If you sell
to the right man. Remember that Stephenson,
dragon of the COLLINS, paid the present Gov
ernor $500 for a riding horse"
Next year, when Governors day is cele-
brated, Indiana should have the man to whom
every father and mother could point with
this appeal:
''Be honest and hate crookedness. This
Governor prosecuted crooks He was himself
honest. He did not keep bad company. Those
who knew him trusted him and they made him
Governor. If you follow the example OF
Frank Daley, you, too, have chance OF be-
coming Governor"
Let's have Governor s day in the future
that brings no blush.

It used to be quite common for
girls during this period to become
pale, thin and anemic. The con-
dition was called chlorosis and was
believed to be a legitimate indis-
position of the period.
It is now realized that the con-
dition was due to the fact that girls
of this age we're taken away from
outdoor play and carefully watched.
Moreover, they we're shut up in
study rooms or drawing rooms and
their garments we're changed to the
heavy frocks, petticoats and corsets
that used to be the style Of the
period.
Nowadays the girl of adolescent
age wears garments at least as light
as those worn by grandmothers, and
devotes a vast amount of time to
outdoor sports.
AS a result, chlorosis as disease
of adolescence has practically dis
appeared.

THERE are six conventions
i which you will repeatedly hear
at the bridge table-six popular
fallacies to which many players
mistakenly adhere regardless OF
circumstanceS-SiX rules which
are not really rules at all. These
are:
/. Always cover an honor with
an honor.
2. Always return partners lead.
3. Always play second hand low.
4. Always play third hand high.
5. Always play through strength.
6. Always play up to weakness.
The player who constantly fol-
lows these conventions frequently
sacrifices tricks which logical play
would win. He has his excuse
handy when he fails to achieve his
object, but there is scant consola-
ton in that.
Bridge is most enjoyable when
it is played by reason rather than
rote.
The stereotyped player exposes
himself to every strategic maneuver
Of his opponents-he misses most
OF. the worthwhile thrills of the
game.
The accomplished player knows
when to deviate from the alibi con-
ventions. He knows their real
meaning and follows them ration
ally. He recognizes the moment to
cast them aside,

Anderson Herald)


When fifteen nations signed the
Kellogg peace treaty outlawing
war, the other day in Paris, the
nations of the world were happy.
These fifteen statesmen signed
the treaty saying that they and
their nations were not in favor of
war. However, no one is really in
favor of war and he will say no.
Still people fight and nations fight
because Of differences arising from
lack of understanding.
The Kellogg treaty Is a fine
thing. 1t will be fine testimonial
to peace, but there are no teeth in
the pact.
The business of outlawing war
is more than fifteen men signing
a piece of paper. We have had
experience with a scrap of paper"
before.
If two people thoroughly under
stand each other, if their basis of
thought and action is the same,
they will not fight. If two nations
have the same bases, they will not
engage in warfare.
Undoubtedly the world is reach
ing a common basis of under
standing-slowly. Fast travel and
easy communication have been
the greatest step toward more
peaceful relations btween nations.
Many of us have condemned the
English, the Germans, the French
and others, until we have seen
them all in their own environ
mentS, then we understand their
conditions and the reason for
their actions.

Progressive PROGRESS

We doubt too much. Civilization
has been developed not by those
who cringed, but by those who
dared to take another step forward
in the dark. No two steps have
been alike. While each was i'm
possible without the one preceding
it, it has led to a different result
different set of circumstances, a
different group of problems.
The establishment of free gov
eminent leads to inventivenesS, in
vcativeness leads to machinery,
machinery leads to organization, or
ganization leads to the development
of a new economic and social
structure.
The old navigators freed us from
a superstition which Stagnated the
world for thousands of years. Fol-
lowing their example political lead
ers freed us from tyranny and
class rule. Thinking, first in the
terms of geography, then in those
of freedom, we have arrived at a
scientific age.

With Other Editors

That is, to be sure, the veriest
moonshine-no play upon words
here intended.
The best that can be done and
will be done, if done at all, must
contemplate only that everybody
who would drink shall compul-,
sively be prevented from drinking.
The possibilities of that do not,
however, go to the complete
length of a bone-dry condition.
There will be some drinking when
the best has been made Of all
possibilities.
In States which do not have
local rigors such as Indiana, for
instance, has in the Wright code,
there would be considerable lati-
tude for indulgence except that
the Federal prohibition code be
amended to embrace the seventies
Of the Indiana laws, a recourse
which some of the more extreme
of Hoosier drys have recommend
ed and urged.
Congress can do that, and 1t Is
not inconceivable that Congress
may go that length to enforce the
Eighteenth Amendment.

Slaves of Fear

Man has been a slave to fear
since the dawn of consciousness.
First, he feared the thunder and
the waterfall, but only to learn that
they could be made his servants.
Then he feared what was beyond
the horizon, but only to learn that
it was treasure not a menace.
Now he fears his own ingenuity,
the gigantic machines he has per-
fected, the power to organize he has
developed, the tremendous forces
he has discovered.
1t is history that no pioneer ever
took a step forward, but some cried
out in terror.
