TIVE current Miss America

"THE current Miss America, !"
4 the shrewd reporter said,
Seems to me more dazzling than
any of her predecessors. But dag
zling' is not precisely the word I
want.
by the token of their pictures
many others were that. Indeed.
their beauty was so palpable that It
was just shade forbidding. It fell
into that school which might be
known as glazed Gorgon.'
A little further down there was
something determined loveliness"
and the fact that "a girl may COM
NIT herself SO violently to a counte-
nance that repression or develop
ment is equally impossible"
How true!" I said. How neatly
putt" and then I saw the signature
and went completely scarlet. But
this is false modesty, and I should
make no concessions.
If by any chance there exists as
many as two or three who read the
works Of Broun for profit or pleas
ure, why should not frankly ally
myself with that courageous com
pany?
Nor should we apologize for our
lack Of numbers, but rather glory
IN exclusiveness and call it discern
nent.
Besides, I think it is fascinating
speculation to wonder what did be-
come Of Miss Lamphier, who won
the championship and became Miss
America for 1925.
What do all the prize-winning
beauties do after they have received
their silver cups and settled down?

French collection Of that money this year-just as
there is perfect logic for American collection Of
French and other allied debt payments to U.s. But
that has nothing to do with the practical emergency.
The emergency is such that Germany in the end
viii be forced into default and perhaps into revou-
ton unless she is given a moratorium. The choice
is whether France-and other creditor natons-prefer
to postpone payment risk losing all financial
claims to Germany and investments IN Germany
France is no fool. Despite all her objections she
has been willing in the past to scale down German
payments when she had to-that was the meaning
and purpose of the Dawes plan and later Young plan
And that is the meaning Of this new move which
gives breathing space for another revision downward
France eventually will come around to a sensible
attitude but the danger is that she may be too late
The world depression is too headong and the inter-
national political situation too explosive to wait on
French temperament and hair splitting
No once asks France to act other than in her own
selfish interest. An upset in Europe would cost
France more than any other nation, because France
virtually is master of Europe now. Whatever else
might result from European revolution or war GER
tainly French hegemony would be destroyed.
In this crisis there is one thing France can not
afford to>lose. Her most powerful weapon is British
and American confidence and cooperation If she
blocks the Hooyer holiday plan she will isolate her
self That would be perilous position for France.

Aptitude Tests

THE boys who enter the camp
Il viii also have 4 chance to
sample engineering work. President
Davis says that three or four hours
a day will be devoted to work in
surveying.
In addition, the boys will be given
aptitude tests" to try and find out
how well they are fitted for the pro-
fession. These tests have been
worked out by Johnson O'Connor Of
the General Electric Co.
The tests are described as work
samples - miniature engineering
problems-which require for solu-
ton an aptitude for engineering,
and instructive gift for visualizing
structure, and do not involve school
knowledge or acquired training"
In addition to engineering. work
samples have been devised which
show likelihood of success in sur
gerry, banking, selling, and executive
work.
".The results" the announcement
says, are not infallible, but suff-
GENTLY accurate to aid materially
both in deciding between an en-
gineering and an academic training.
and in answering many of the
questions which puzzle every man in
choosing a career"
Others who will take part In
operating the laboratory are Dr..
Adam Leroy Jones, director Of ad-
missions in Columbia university,
and DR.. Walter Van Dyke Bingham,
director Of the Personal Research
Federation, established through
efforts of the National Research
Council and the Engineering Foun-
dation.

0N June 25, 1917, Charles Ed
~ ward Russell, g member of the
American commission to Russia, ad-
dressed a full council of Workmen's
and Soldiers delegates.
He outlined the aims Of the United
States and the reasons which
brought the country into the war
Warned in advance that he might
expect an unfriendly demonstration
on the part Of the extremists among
his auditors, Russell received in
stead loud applause.
The declaration Of Russell that
the United States was fighting only
because the democracies of the
world were in danger, and that after
democracy was safe the people
would turn to social reform, was
cheered to the echo.
NJ. Tcheidze, president Of the
Council of Worknen'S and Soldiers
delegates, in replying to Russelrs
speech, said that the democracy Of
Russia was built on the same foun-
dation IS that Of the United States,
and that Russia would carry on the
war until mutual aims were
achieved.

MOST of the deaths due to in
4V1 halation of exhaust gas from
automobiles occur in the winter,
when men attempt to work under
running cars in closed garages.
Cases occur also, however, in
other periods of the year, particu-
larly among people who work con-
stantly in the automobile industry.
To prevent such deaths and to aid
as much as possible those who are
exposed to carbon monoxide poi
soning, the New York state depart
ment of labor has issued a bulletin
on the subject with special warn
ings and advice.
Here is a list of things to do"
for workers exposed to automobile
exhaust gas:
1. Keep windows open as much
as possible.
2. Do not permit the engine to
run and discharge exhaust gas di-
rectly into the air OF the workroom.
Every workroom should have a
flexible tube which can be attached
to the exhaust pipe, and through
which the exhaust gas then may
be carried out Of doors.
3. Remember that carbon mon
oxide gas has no smell. You can
not, therefore, know if carbon mon

Many educators feel that to date

Peoples Voice

Editor TiInes-I have been asked
to express my opinion concerning
the subject of increase in salaries
to the public school teachers. My
sentiments on this subject are clear
and favor the teachers.
I firmly believe that the public
school teachers work hard and con-
Scientiously in their efforts to ac-
complish results in their arduous
task of training and educating
young children, hence, every due
consideration should be given to
their just demands for better pay.
Therefore, parents and the public
in general should be in favor of
legislation having purpose to bet
ter the teachers remuneration. I
am speaking from personal expert
ence as to the teachers ability and
conscientious work in training and
educating young children properly.
For an instance, my daughter who
is II years of age, attends the Ia
grade Of public school No. As, and
I must admit that she has made
remarkable, rapid progress in her
school.
Let us be fair to the teachers and
let us do our share toward increas-
ing their salaries.

man summed up Kent's assertions as:

mittee which will be repaid"
Raskob said the party's defeat In
1928 and current depressed condi-
tions had made fund raising hard,
but that his confidence in the party's
principles gave him q great sense OF
security" in its virility and ability to
repay. The 1880 elections had re-
juvenated the party which, he said,
