Patrinfeers VS.. Patriots

are on the run Too long they have perverted pa

The sudden change in sentiment toward propa-

recent signs that government and public are about
ready to demobize the psychology 1t is signif-
cant that Shearer was as popular with the government
and public two years ago, where he was helping to
break the Geneva arms conference he is unpopular

Since then he had, at times, the sympathy of some

Aluminium Ware Can't Harm Health

Aluminium was found in the livers
of men who had died with high
blood pressure and also of those
who had died with low blood pres
sure, hence no apparent relationship
could be found between the intake
of aluminium and these conditions.
Neither could any relationship be
found between the intake of alu-
minum and hardening of the
arteries.
There is, of course, a possibility
that large overdose of aluminium
would be harmful. 1t IS possible 10

of copper, of phosphorus, of calcium.
or of many other substances which
are considered essential to human
life.
1t is hard to conceive, however,
how a dose Of aluminium, sufficient
to be harmful, could be had through
baking powder or through the use OF
aluminium cooking utensils, par
ticularly since the evidence seems TO
indicate that the aluminium does not
accumulate in the body.
The burden of proof is still on
the propagandists who have at
tackled the use of aluminium, rather
than on those who have promoted
the additions to our modern civil
ization that are represented by
aluminium products.

GENERAL WOLFE KILLED


Sept. IL
I'm Sept. 10, 1859, James Wolfe,
~ the famous British general, was
killed in a battle on the Plains OF
Abraham, mile south OF Quebec,
while attempting to drive the French
out of Canada.
The first step in the scheme to ex-
pei the French had as its object
the capture of Quebec. Wolfe sailed
from England in February, and four
months later landed on the Isle OF
Orleans, a few miles below Quebec.
Wolfe's force numbered about
5000 men, including six companies
of New England troops, while the
French strength comprised gar
rison of 1000 men at Quebec and
$4,000 men, of whom only a small
part were regulars, at BEAUFORT. be-
low the town.
After failing in two attacks, Wolfe
decided to cross the st. Lawrence
river and scale the heights above the
town, a hazardous procedure.
The French were surprised and IN
few hours $500 men, with two
guns. had climbed the steep heights
and were drawn up on the plains.
They were then engaged by a
French army of about the same
number. but the French lines were
shattered by the British fire and
broke. AS he led the charge. Wolfe
was struck three times and was
forced to lie down. He died while
the pursuit was still under way.

Living Dead

A ND then (tnlS was twenty years
IN ago. Bobby Rogers disappeared.
I don't mean that the police
were asked to look for him or that
many ponds we're dragged, but
when anybody inquired about him
somebody would reply vaguely, i
hear he's teaching somewhere" And
after a couple of years people for
got to ask.
The details of Bobby's sojourn in
Siberia are not known by me.
Teaching is dull business, and its
most tedious branch is English
composition.
The victim spends long nights
marking &c minus in red ink on
themes entitled my Two Weeks at
Long Branch" or why I Went to

cramped from this routine 1t is
customary to mark "B plus" on
every other composition in order to
relieve the wrist.

TVEN the most level-headed in
T. dividual never IS quite the same
after his name has appeared upon
the front page. The walk becomes
a strut. Before he talked, and now
he issues statements. His very
thoughts run in the form OF head
lines.
Nor is there any known method
of taking away the habit-forming
drug. The man who has been on
the front page once never can be
happy until he gets preferred po-
sition once again.
He will sit up and beg for 1t. He
will stand on his head.
One of the saddest tragedies In
the whole mournful history Of front
page fepds is now being played out
before my Mortified eyes. I refer to
the case of Professor Robert E.
Rogers of the Massachusetts 1nst1-
tute of Technology. You may re-
member him as the big be-a-snob-
and-marry-the- boss daughter man.
In college he was a mild and in
offensive, stoutish lad, known to his
associates as Bobby. AS senior he
became class poet, but since the
hymn he wrote did not spell out
anything in particular If you put the
first five letters together, it made
little impression.

Act in One

DUT Rogers had no intention of
ID splitting his spotlight. He
found his way to headlines under
his own steam. This time it was
the declaration that American
thought is becoming feminine.
Bobby Rogers was shrewd enough
to explode his sawdust bomb before
business mems luncheon. The
thought was new to them. Maybe
any thought would have been.
Rogers thumped his chest and
said he would hazard IAN unpopular
guess" as to the cause of all this.
He blamed it on women school
teachers. Boys should be instructed
by somebody more virile.
To be sure, Bobby didn't go to
the source of the problem. Many
modern psychologists agree that the
most inpressionable period occurs
in the first six years of a childs life.
Even though at IA, he gets his
algebra from a herman, this may be
much too late Instead of suggesting
the removal of women teachers,
Bobby ought to advocate the aboli-
ton of mothers.
However, he has by now ampli-
fed his original advice to college
men. 1t now runs, as I understand
it, "Be a virile snob."

in manv vegetables and meats.


Fairly large quantities were found
in cherries and onions, in lettuce,
milk, flour and liver, Aluminium was
also found in string beans, beets,
cantaloupe, sweet corn, peaches,
pears and potatoes. Little aluminium
was found in apples, eggs, lemons
and watermelon.
Since aluminium is taken into the
body therefore by the eating of the
substances that have been men
toned, it is unlikely that the
very small amounts OF the substance
that might come by way of alumni
mum from cooking utensils and alum
in baking powder could be harmful
to the body.
just as the soil of some states
contains more iodine than the soil
of others, so also the soil OF GER
tain states is richer in aluminium
than is the soil of others. Organs
from people who had died due to
various diseases in different states
we're examined to find out their con-
tent of aluminium.
1t was found that the livers OF
those who had lived in Michigan
contained more aluminium, for ex-
ample, than of those who had lived
and died in Florida.

WHETHER the Chinese have
w run out of copy paper, or the
Russians have decided to take a
breathing spell, the news from
ManchUria grows too tame for
prominence once more.
The same is true with regard to
that from Palestine, though for
more obvious and satisfying
reasons.
1t is amazing how quickly such
great storms subside, and how
easily they are replaced by minor
incidents.
With nothing more formidable
than a law suit, party named
Shearer has swept about everything
off the front page during the last
few days, and what he overlooked
was cleaned up by a party named
Waggoner.
To be perfectly candid, the Wag-
goner person appears to have
cleaned up in more ways than one.
He not only took some of New
York's best bankers for a ride to the
tune of 100000, but did it so
smoothly that many lawyers doubt
that they can get the money back,
though they know right where it is.
Query-If they can not get the
money back, did =Vaggoner commit
a crime, and if Waggoner did COM
NIT a crime, why can't they get the
money back?

Millions

THE first Identification in large
l. way of a foundation with the
fine arts was the creation in 1920 OF
the Julliard musical foundation.
This organization, with millions at
its disposal, is devoting all its atten-
ton to music.
The largest single gift from
foundation for fine art purposes
came in 1928 when the general edu-
cation board, founded on Rookie
Teller funds, gave 100000 to the
Fogg art museum of Harvard uni
versity. .-...',
While libraries have been the
chief interest of the Carnegie cor
poration, it has turned its atten-
ton to other fields and during the
last five years, according to DR..
Keppel, has made twenty-seven
gifts to colleges and universities to
further the fine arts and has
granted seventy-two felloWships IN
the field Of the arts.
Commenting on the arts and
adult education, DR.. Keppel says:
"It was less than ten years ago
that we began to realize in the
United States what had been known
in Denmark for nearly a century
and for perhaps half as long in
England, namely, that the education
of adults just as much as the edu-
cation of children is a matter OF
community concern and planning
all along the line, not merely OF in
dividuaI concern and planning.
There is a close relationship be-
tween the arts on the one hand and
the education of adults on the
other.
eve have much to learn about
the education of adults, but at least
we have learned this, that the i'm
portant part of it is not the acquir-
ing of new facts, but the toning up
of the entire personality"

Architects

A ARCHITECTURE is particu-
i 4 larry important in the field OF
adult education in art, DR.. Keppel
believes. Courses given by the
American Institute of Architects at
Harvard university this summer
have been financed by a gift from
the Carnegie corporation.
1.-THE adult is a person with a job
who comes to the task Of increas-
ing his store Of wisdom at the end
Of days work." DR.. Keppel says.
There may be few who have the
tireless energy to tackle dull SUBJ
Iect night after night under these
circumstances.
"For the majority, however, the
only chance of sticking at an ad-
ditional task long enough to draw
dividends is to provide an ele-
ment of enthusiasm and excite-
ment.
The great realm Of providing
continued excitement and thereby
continued stimulation for the ma
ture mind is the realm Of the arts.
80 far as literature and music
are concerned, this is fairly well ap-
preciated and understood, as well
perhaps as anything is appreciated
and understood in adult education.
"As a nation, however, we have
no conception of the place the other
arts. such as the art of design.
painting, sculpture and architec-
ture can be made to play in normal
human life, and I believe that here
the architect is the predestined and
inevitable leader Of his fellow citi-

The Permanent Cure

When it becomes necessary for organiza
tons of citizens to appeal to the courts tc
prevent officials from confiscating property
through high taxes, it should be time for all
citizens to seek a permanent cure rather than
temporary relief.
The high cost of bad government is now
being felt. The higher cost of the trimmings
which do not get on the tax list at all is even
worse.
The management of public schools is
such as to give little confidence. The costli-
ness is apparent. Not even the fake squab-
bles between the members of the board can
disguise the fact that the schools are in the
control of bossism and greed, that they are
managed for private profit rather than edu-
cation, that they are used to force citizens
to pay unnecessary sums for maintenance
and for books.
The schools have been and are, appar-
emily, under the control of Coffin, political
boss, and of Shipp, the vendor of ventilators
It should be significant, at least, that
wherever Coffin rules, the cost of govern
nent becomes onerous and burdensome.
Coffin controls the county council and the
Chamber of Commerce finds it necessary to
protest against the tax rate.
Coffin controls the schools and the cost is
such as to threaten the school city with
bankruptcy.
Coffin does not control the city council
and that body adopted the recommendations
of the civic committee which had studied the
needs of the city.
Sometime the people may get the idea that
Coffin is too much of luxury to have in
control of any part of the government.
Yet there is a very great danger that he
will continue his grip upon the affairs of the
city, the county and the schools.
His fake "good" government clubs are
busy trying to stir up prejudice and hate and
latent greeds in order to continue Coffin in
power.
In school circles, he has planted ambitions
in the heart of many in order to confuse
voters who are in sympathy with the citizens
revolt against conditions. .......
This is no time for quibbling or for petty
dissensions 1t is time when the people must
stand together for self-preservation and self
protection.
No good citizen will lend himself or herself
to the trickery of Coffin to divide good citi-
zens at the polls. 1t is no longer question
of whether the City Manager League has the
strongest possible ticket or whether the
school revolt is omniscient in its selection OF
candidates.
The real issue is whether the people will
stand to together and throw off the Old Man
of the Sea from our taxed backs.

naval reduction and uncovering the alliance between
cruiser building companies and war propaganda.
The public in its reaction against patrioteers should
not confuse them with sincere citizens who oppose
naval reduction arbitration ant-war treaties, and
civil liberties, by legitimate methods
Any American has perfect right to work for the
biggest navy in the world for abrogation of peace
treaties, for constitutional amendment destroying
the bill Of rights.
But he has no right to pose as disinterested pa
triot when he is in the secret pay of armament
makers as Shearer He has right to carnou-
fage with fag-waving his on constitutional
liberties as some among the National Security League
and D. A. R. have done.
That is patrioteering. And patrioteering is the
enemy of patriotism.

DARALLELING the remarkable
l. development of science and en-
cheering in the United States,
many experts are looking to a wide
spread similar development in the
field of art.
AS indicative of the new trend,
they point to the great skyscrapers
now going up in the United States.
They regard these new structures as
lust as great triumphs in the field
of art as they are in the fields OF
engineering.
Many great foundations which
to date have been interested chiefly
in the promotion of SCIENTIFIC re-
search are turning their attention
to the realm Of art.
And just as the growth OF science
in America has occasioned a WIDE
spread popular interest in the sub"
ject, a similar popular interest in
art is anticipated.

study in the United States" says

of the. Carnegie Corporation OF New

terrors of inventiveness and discov-

even better.

About eight or ten years ago the
American Forestry Association, at
Washington, conceived the idea of

publicity has been given the idea
in newspapers and their own maya

significance of the tree and its bid
for recognition. The list includes

Riot in New Orleans

DUT for a riot in New Orleans
- there would be little in the ma
ture of violence to discuss, and thai
would not have amounted to much
in the opinion of Acting Mayor
Walmsley, if the police had refrained
from using tear bombs.
There are those who will regard
the dynamiting of a car as more Sc
rious than that of dousing a crowd
with tear gas, but Mr.. Walmsley
while failing to express himself on
the former incident, declares the
latter to be ga public disgrace"
The New Orleans car strike is one
Of those cases in which a local labor
organization refuses to follow the
nations leaders.

Of the American Federation of La

Honor Has Vanished

ORGANIZED war has transcend

ship. Except in a few isolated activ-

their merit on the battlefield. The
game has become one of mechanics
and science, in which personality
plays little part.

brought something by way of tan
gible honor to him who won.
But we are dealing with an en-
tirely different situation. The Ger

What cannon and machine guns
