dismissal and leave Will behind. Will

partly dressed again. Her whole

Will, wondering as she did so whether
or not she should have asked for
Loring.
Will came to her in the reception
room, looking at her from dull heavy
eyes, silent, waiting.
How is Ernestine, WIFI" she asked
him softly.
"She is still very ill.," he answered,
and added as an afterthought: 1.-THE
baby is girl"
He was exhausted, unshaved, sad
and awry. AS he stood there looking
vaguely about him he seemed to Lii
lian the most forlorn and helpless hui
man being she had ever seen. She
pitied him, but he vexed her.
: "Oh, WILL" she said impulsively,
you shouldn't have allowed Ernestine
to have this other baby-so soon,
when you weren't prepared. You
should have protected her." He avert
ed his face, but she saw his flush.
1--WE got to go back upstairs" he
said, and added, as he turned to the
door, ''Loring has already lectured me
ON birth control. He's left the hos
pital. You must have missed him."
Lillian was ashamed. She had not
intended to say such thing. 1t was
none of their business, really. At the
hotel she stopped at the desk for the
key, but Loring had it. She went up
in the quiet elevator. When she opened
the unlocked door of their room and
went in, Loring was lying back in q
chair by the open window, his hat on
the floor beside him, his collar and tie
lying upon it. He was staring straight
before him, and when Lillian came to
his side he looked up at her with a
piteOus expression.
For a moment, standing there, a
dart of such pain went through Lii
liam that she cried out. This was
what Ernestine could do to Loring.

A Good Precedent

ATO sooner had nations declared
IN war than they called their
legislatures together and provided
sufficient money to go ahead, our
own government raising thirty bill
lion dollars within eighteen months.
Suppose we had tackled the prob
lem presented by drought, depres-
sion and unemployment the same
way?
Suppose Mr.. Hoover had called a
session of congress last July, and
that session had appropriated, not
thirty billion dollars, but three bill
lion dollars, half to be expended by
the federal government on public
improvements, and the other half to
be loaned to cities and states at Az
per cent?
Does any one imagine we still
would be in the pickle?
With regard to its deeper and
more remote causes, this sudden
slump in business presents per-
picking. if not an unsolvable, prob
lem, but the immediate remedies it
called for were comparatively
simple.
Those out of work needed jobs,
while the public needed a restora-
ton of confidence.

Haiti Saws. Get Ont


If there ever was any doubt of Haiti's opinion of
the American military occupation, that doubt has
been removed by the election of President Stenio
Vincent.
Vincent long has been leader of the extreme anti
Yankee group Of the republic AS editor of the most
popular newspaper and president of the bar assoca-
ton former president of the senate, cabinet officer
and diplomat he has the respect of all classes
The significant fact to the American people should
be that Vincent was elected definitely his crusade
against the American occupation, and that even the
defeated presidential candidate also opposed the
occupation.
This apparently unanimous Haitian dislike and
distrIst of the United States is the direct result OF
our imperialistic and often cruel rule, imposed upon
that free people since 1916. We swept away their
sovereign political institutions and forced them to
live under puppet president of our choosing at the
point of American bayonets.
Following liberal protests in this country OF the
massacre Of Haitians last year. President Hoover and
his Forbes commission granted certain partial re-
forms Under these reforms, Haiti was allowed to
have a national election for the first time in thir-
teen years.

ernment.

not vote the f1fty-nine rulers of
America into office. But it is equally
true that we can vote them cut as
soon as we make up our minds to
organize politically against such
vast concentration of power.
In fact, 1 wish to tell a former
President of the United States very
firmly that only through orderly
processes of government can these
things be changed.
It may be that I have a
entimenta1 aversion against
violence, but I also have a wholly
realistic concept that it never offers
an effective solution.
If Mr.. Coolidge cites me the case
of Russia, I will hazard the opinion
that recently there have been in
dications that the experiment there
may fail.
And if it fails, it will collapse be-
cause of too much reliance. on force
and too little upon the sanction of
an enlightened majority.

tn Our Dry Readers

To our dry readers who have been hoping for
success of the prohibition experiment, we commend
the results of the American Bar Association reteren-
dun for fair consideration
The American Bar Association is not constituted
of wet fanatics. of professional propagandists OF
partisan politicians of bootleggers. It represents a
cross section of informed public opinion on national
issues 1t represents a respected profession.
Specifically, on the prohibition question: it repre-
sents the group of men who have the most intimate
knowledge and experience in the law and enforce
ment.
In an unhurried and calm referendum, the Amer
ican Bar Association has voted 1879 to 6,340-or
more than two to one-in favor of prohibition repeal
Most of the members of the American Bar Asso-
citation are as devoted to the ideal of temperate
nation and to hatred of the saloon are our extreme
dry readers But, on the basis of their close ex-
perience. they have decided that prohibition has not
produced temperance, but excesses of drunkenness
and organized, wholesale crime.
We believe that every open-minded dry should be
moved by this referendum of lawyers and iursts to
reconsider his or her dry position in the light Of
facts and experience.

New Types Needed

DR. F. L. BISHOP, secretary OF
IL the Society for Promotion OF
Engineering Education, says that
engineers are trained in an old
system which they naturally pass
on.
It is highly important, he urges
to break this chain and introduce
new types of training for teachers
and new methods Of teaching.
DR.. A. B. Crawford, director Of
the department of personnel study
at Yale university, says that at
Yale two facts have been learned:
First, it is possible to determine by
aptitude tests what students pos
sibilities are; second, many fresh
men are debarred from courses they
would like to pursue after the first
year, because not soon enough
started in that direction, due to lack
Of early information.
Engineering educators" DR..
Crawford says, NOW are giving
thought to the question whom they
should educate and to the impartial
effectiveness of objective tests.
1.-THE fact also is being recognized
that youths of 16 to 19 years, when
confronted with selection of the
courses to follow the freshman year
have ordinarily not discovered their
aptitudes in time to prepare as now
required for an engineering ed
ucation."

We DODGE the Issue

A S a matter Of fact, we all have
IN been talking rather loosely
about the slump in business. The
notion that it might be due to GER
tain age-old weaknesses of human
nature has attracted little notice,
chiefly because such notion leaves
little room for quack cures.
What most Of us like to believe
is that the slump was caused by
certain specific mistakes that easily
can be corrected in the present and
avoided in the future.
Also, we would like to believe that
those mistakes we're made by COM
paratively few people, and that mass
thinking, or lack of it, is not at all
to blame.
We speak of speculation as though
a small group in Wall Steet were
entirely responsible and as though
every sucker who could get his hand
on a dollar refused to play the
game.
We speak of the Grundy tariff
bill as though millions of Repub-
licans were not for it.
We speak of booming business as
though everybody, except half a
dozen of the big boys, were against
it.

Right Selection

- ENERAL REES points out other
VI difficulties facing the engineer
ing field, among them the selection
of the right material for the future
engineers Of America.
The mortality rate during first
years in college seems to indicate
that we are faced with a major
problem in the right selection Of
candidates for the engineering stu
dent body" General Rees says.
I'm general, the quality of stu
dents entering the freshman year
is good on the basis of scholastic
achievement in secondary schools.
"On the other hand, those inter
ested in employment of engineering
graduates find large numbers sur
viving the four strenuous years Of
the engineering curriculum poorly
fitted to become efficient engineers
There is continual complaint by
deans of the lack of good engineer
ing teachers, and responsibility is
placed largely at the door of indus
try.
Can not engineering societies i'm
press upon business and industry
that it is shortsighted to attract
good men away from engineering
faculties and that it might be bet
ter to cooperate in encouraging
good men in industry to accept po-
sitions on engineering faculties?"

I believe this holds good in keep

Case of Blindness

THE point is that practically no
l. one was looking for such reac-
ton as took place last fall: that the
whole civilized world, its leaders in
cluded, was trotting merrily along,
blind with conceit and stupefied by
the good time it was having.
BY and large, Thea economic de-
preston resulted from the same
failure to realize where we were go
ing that occurred in 1914.
We did not believe war could oc-
cur then until Europe blew up, and
we didn't believe there was anything
else but continued prosperity ahead
last fall until the market crash.
But the similarity ends right
there. we accepted the war as an
emergency, and met it with emer-
gency measures, while we tried to
sidestep the depression as some
thing that presently would correct
itself.
