showing in that siX-day roller skat- ing race in Madison Square Garden last spring.
 Davidson, who has held national and international championships in both ice and roller skating figured that only those who had trained with particular attention to their feet, would be able to last on the banked track. So he ordered Q six weeks program of outdoor road work in bare feet for himself and his two teammates.
 It proved to be a wise move that gave the Davidson team third place and enabled it to set the pace and pick up some sprint change in the closing days of the contest when most of the field was hanging on.
 Harley's trio finished third. He reasons that it would have finished higher, maybe out in front, had not his own miscalculation cost him points at the start that the widest skating could not regain in the final hours of the struggle.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.- They thought Victcrio Maria Campclo was about the last thing in foreign man-mountains
 Six feet, six ard one half inches tall and weighing 230 pounds, he was supposed to be the biggest in captivity. a
 But now Victoria proves to Do just another over-sized invader compared to Primo Camera, the Genoa Giant, who has cast a men aeing shadow over the home pugi- listic field.
 Primo is a mere six feet, ten inches in height and weighs an even 260 pounds
 This business of importing big boys from foreign lands began in earnest about seven years ago when Luis Angel Firpo came over. The vital statistics pertaining to his height and weight were six feet, two and one half inches, and 220 pounds, respectively.
 The Transatlantic trail became popular with the large men in sub sequent years leading up to the current peak season.
 Primo really should be credited to 1928, though, since he was all set to sail then but had to wait until they could rip out bulkhead and build him a special made-to- order stateroom.
 That's tip straight from his ad- vance agent.
 Primo may be saved for the 1880 outdoor season. You can write your own explanation for that one.

 Jimmy was riding sky high among the lightweight challengers until Sammy Mandell thumped him around. Jimmy shot back upward with a victory or two and then slumped again because he could do nothing better than twice out point the mediocre Joe Click.
 Now Pacific Coast Jimmy, fight ing as a welterweight, has his pack paying for some more big time mention. The inspiration came in McLarnin's swift knockout of Sammy Baker. What is desired most for the sober faced socker is a championship battle with Jackie Fields.

Sir William A. Craigie. who was knighted by King
George for his share in bringing the monumental Oxford
dictionary to completion. is now in Chicago beginning a
ten-year job Of writing an American English dictionary.
It will be compiled from strictly American literature from
the seventeenth century onward.
But it will not be confined to that. Sir William has
discovered American slang and likes it. He will use it to
illustrate the meaning of words and show the growth of
and even the birth of an American language. He chuckles
delightedly over our expression, ITS up to YOU finds Ito

The United States is now at a period In its develop
ment which corresponds closely to the Elizabethan era in
England DR.. Craigie explains. 1T is a period of in
tellectual creativeness. The extraordinary facility that
IS exhibited in coming picturesque and expressive slang is
only one manifestation of this"
SO he revels in a new language and is delighted when

scorned BY American photographers. Webster's first die

lists here may sigh over corruption OF English through the

Editorial Comment
WHAT SLEEP is GOOD FOR
New York Times)

(NeW YORK IlmeS)
Not so long ago college boys were passing sleepless
nights in the interest of science to demonstrate the
d~eleterious effects of going without sleep. More recently
Colgate university has been giving the boys maps of vary
Ing lengths to discover the positive benefits of sleep.
These tests must be even more painful than the long
vieils. 1t is no fun to be allowed to sleep soundly for an
hour and then be rudely wakened and set to counting
dots, without even the aid of finger pointing"
Results of the tests show that four hours of sleep suf-
iicc to restore the purely physical functions to normal.
Some Of them seem to be completely restored with only
one hour OF sleep. For recovery of mental powers much
more sleep is needed. Every additional hour of sleep
shows an increase in mental capacity. and the director
OF the psychological laboratory finds that eight hours are
none too many for re-cstablishing learning ability and
trying mental functions. The experiments indicate also
that the recuperative values of sleep are dependent upon
sleeping equipment and environment.
The moral to be drawn by the student is obvious. If
he finds himself getting dangerously low marks. more
sleep is indicated. If eight hours daily do not secure
passing grades, let him try ten or even twelve. Contin-
uous Information, outside of lecture hours, should insure
a Phi Beta Kappa key.

sorts of deeds Of daring or endurance that have never
been contemplated before.
Among these contemplaters there are some who be-
lieve the realization Is better than the anticipation, but
by far the greater number are satisfied with the recog-
milton they receive as mere ~contemplaters. For instance.
there will be more projected transatlantic flights this year
than there will be actual hops across the big pond. And
more will scan the British channel than will Jump into
its chill and choppy waters.
Why not an association Of contemplatcrs? 1t would
not suffer for lack Of eligible candidates. Each May and
June bring out a fresh crop OF contemplative aviators and
swimmers, and men and women who never take the Won
derful vacation trips they plan all their lives are legion
Membership in such a lodge or fraternity would at
least afford as much satisfaction as utilization with that
mythical lodge Of defeated presidential candidates.

Lieutenant Richard Hobson and

sion of thought.
Hands Work With Mind
Doctors tell us that adults who
have had this brain area DESTROYED
often lose the power of speech stimuli

right hand; such people do not often
regain the power Of speech. But this
must not be confused with p~aralytic

advantage OF youth, as usual and
built up q new speech area on the

tHavre, Mont, News
supposing the proposed export debenture would work
who does the exporting: taking it for granted that it
does work as its advocates predict, what benefit would it
be to Montana growers of hard spring wheat?
the wheat tariff makes no distinction between Wl1eats
OF different kinds. Neither then would the export de-
venture. The grower OF soft spring wheat. provided the
grower did not get the benefit of the debenture, would
profit as much as the grower of higher priced wheats.
furtnerrnore, it Is the cheaper wheats that are ex-
ported from this country because the high protein wheats
get q premium that makes them too high priced for ex-
port purposes. If the debenture worked automatically, as
Claimed. to raise the price of the cheap wheats q cents
above the foreign market level, it would also tend to hold
the price OF high protein wheat down to q maximum
premium OF Il cents above the foreign price level.
The debenture. even If successful, could not be expected
to add anything to the high premium wheats Of the
northwest. because they would be brought above the
Canadian hard wheat In price on the European market.
There are plenty of critics who do not believe that the
debenture will profit the farmer, inasmuch as the bonus
goes to the exporters In the first instance and he must
sell It to an importer.
But granting that 1t does help the farmer, It must
be the grower Of the low price soft wheats
who Is helped. because naturally the exporter is going to
buy the cheapest wheats In sight, In order to secure the
full export subsidy.
The grower Of high protein wheat is getting the bene-
tit Of tariff protection because the country's production
Is not equal to the domestic demand for that kind 81
wheat. The best possible thing that the debenture could
do would be to wipe out that premium and make the
soft wheats as valuable as the hard wheats and SO en-
courage still further the surplus production Of soft wheats
already are creating the surplus problem in this
country.
Soft wheats make our wheat surplus. II the debenture
works. 1t would only encourage the production Of stil
more Of those varieties Of wheat, and SO further compile.

MAKING HIGHWAYS SAFER

Bureaucracy occasionally accomplsheS something OF
value to the people as q whole. Though federal and state
bureaus and departments and commissions seem to be
engaged largely in catering to the whims Of cranks and
minorities with q cause they can on occasion con-
ceive an idea or promulgate a program of some use to
humanity.
From the Pennsylvania state highway department has
come an idea which was Immediately adopted by the
legislature Of that state and Is likely to meet with ap-
prevail in other commemorative.
Two or three years ago states here and there conducted,
through their highway administrations. motor vehicle
inspection and repair campaigns designed to reduce to q
minimum the number of cars and trucks with defective
brakes. steering mechanism and lights. In each instance
the percentage of defective vehicles was alarmingly large.
Pennsylvania did not miss the moral taught BY these
campaigns. Beginning in 1890, it will make two inspec-
tions q year, using state police and the state motor patrol
as the necessary moral suasion.'
One enforced inspection, followed by no others, af-
fords but . temporary guarantee to the careful driver
that in his travels he will not share the highways with
thousands Of vehicles which. for one reason or several.
are unfit to be on the public highways. Two enforced
inspections . year will go far toward making the suaran-
tee permanent. Here is q practical and promising method
of accident prevention.
