THERE is a legend that the Per- ] uvian Indians knew of the vir- tues of Cinchona bark as early as 15OO. They drank the water in which the bark of Cinchona trees had by chance been steeped, and found it a remedy for "agues and levers"
 It wasn't until 1920, however, that it was discovered what there was in the bark that gave it its remedial properties. Two French pharmacies, Pelletier and Caven- tou, isolated quinine from the bark -an epoch-making discovery of far-reaching benefit to mankind.
 Pharmacists have made many such valuable contributions to

Calamities and Follies

Some people claim that industrial depres- sions have always come from time to time and can't be helped. This is hopeless kind of attitude that ought not to be adopted in regard to any of our troubles. Industrial depressions come from two kinds of things. They are either started by natural calamties that could not be helped or by some form of human folly. The country seemed to be making steady recovery from the 1930 de- pression last spring and carly summer. when the worst drought in history came along and postponed recovery. That was a calamity that could not be helped.
 But the original start of the depression was due principally to the human folly of excess sive stock speculation. The depression of l92O-2l due to the human folly of ex- aggerated spending which pushed prices of merchandise up so high that people refused to buy. The depression of 1893 = 94 was due to political controversies and exaggerated speculation in land and other property. Now it is silly to talk about not being able to stop such human foes The people are willing to learn, and they do not often get hurt twice in precisely the same way They had suffered much from banking panies un- til finally they massed the banking reserves of the country under the federal reserve act, and stopped panios due to that cause.
 It would seem that now they have seen enough of the folly of exaggerated stock speculation. so that it will be very long time before they fall into that error again. They will make other errors no doubt. But with sound currency system and vivid memory of the catastrophe of 1929, our people ought to be able to go on many years without seeing any such serious industrial

World Copyright

The Vestal copyright bill, pending in con- gress would give American authors. com posers and publishers the same rights, the world over, now held by other nations. On this matter. as on several others, the United States still stands outside of the pale, along with Russia, China and Mexico. It is time to break the odd sisterhood of isolation in this instance. at least. in order to safeguard vau- able American works from being pirated and confiscated abroad
 The bill is said to be badly cluttered up with amendments. for the benefit of various groups interested in special phases of copy right protection. Some of them. at least. are doubtless legitimate. But with such bur den. it is not likely that the measure can be pushed through before the end of the present session. Dsinterested friends of the measure are asking that, if necessary. the amendments be removed and left to future legislation, in order to accomplish the main purpose of the bill and bring this country immediately within the protecting walls of a uniform would copyright.

Sixty Million Idle Horses

Taking stock of our national resources the geological survey finds that we have available in this country S0.000.000 horsepower of hydro electric energy. Of that less than one-fifth is yet developed California. which has unusual waterpower resources and is in the list of states with nearly l6 per cent quick to take advantage of them. comes first of the total. New York is next.
 Development of this sort is regarded today as the best index of progress in industrial civilization Electric power is the most widely used and most flexible of all forms of mechanical energy. So far in this country we get it mainly from coal. But our coal. though vast in quantity. will be exhausted eventually. The sources of hydro-eectrc power will last, for practical computation. forever The quicker we come to full util- zation of them. the longer our coal will last, as source of power and heat and raw ma terial for innumerable chemical products.

Athletic Reform
reVerSeS.

The world does move. even the world of college athletics. Harvard follows the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in announcing reforms though it is not going so far.
 Pennsylvania abolishes professional coach- es subsidies for players. proselyting of play CTS. spring football practice. football camps and other abuses and extravagances which have inflated college sport and aroused wide spread criticism. Harvard. at present. contents itself with curtailng intercollegiate games. dlsoouraging public competition and enoour- aging intramural athletics.
 Here is the beginning of return to the wholesome athletic ideals of former day, when higher education was dominated by the educational rather than the athletic idea. and boys did not have their sense of values upset even in the high school. Educators are grow ing sensitive about the matter We may see widespread, thorough-going reform move ment.

on exquitely adorned pillows. Theirs were old world faces; faces such as you see in illustrations of the Bible stories, when the patriarchs are mentioned: intelligent, finely chis- eled faces. Before them were huge books, many adorned with gold and blue scroll work. They sat and read and some sat and wrote.
 "These," said the professor, "are people know how to write. Nearby is the court. Men want to draw up their wills or write letter. They wish some court information. These men do their reading and writing for few. They are the scholars"
 'Wonder what would happen" l inquired, If few Arabs wandered into York York and stuck their noses right over the papers of some of our lawyers, after crashing theit offices?" The professor merely smiled.
 Five minutes later, the trouble began. We had taken a little two. seated cart and hurried to 6 roadside certain fakers and entertainers had gathered snake charmers and tricksters and sweetmeat sellers.
 Now, for the first time, I came in contact with the hardest boiled of all beggars in Africa-and these run into the millions. They are pathet- ic-eyed little girls carrying puny babies on their backs. While the prof's back was turned, I generously dished out franc and handed it to a particularly tragic child.
 Within a flash, saw 8 mob de- scending on me. From every cor ,ner men, women and children dropped what they were doing and started on the run.
 My Gawd," said the prof, you've given beggar money i. you sl- ly fellow. Now we're in for trou- ble.''

Casablanca, Morocco.-I found "the professor leaning against Cheyenne Charlie's' bar.
 The professor, apparently q bril- liant man once, was Britisher who might easily have stepped from a Dickens novel. The folk hereabouts looked askance and some even tapped their foreheads when they saw me going about with him. But the professor has been out here some 20 years, and knows his way around. Pm inclined to believe he isn't bit daffy. He's merely eccentric. Pve met beach combers before. He doesn't quite fit the groove. For he tries so hard to affect a kinship of words and small talk.
 To be sure, after time he will apologetically admit that he could you think it was worth to be taken around where most tourists never go. Yes, he's terribly .orry to have to ask a favor !. you've been so nice bought his lunch and a toddy and all that ~. .' but after all making a living is so difficult in this country.
 So it was through the professor that l learned my primer lesson in North Africa and it's strangely diff ferent ways.
 We stopped first at an alleyway. running about about two blocks. This was black with native men, wo- men and children. They were lined in little cells and against the wall.
 Attaches were squirting them with a huge spray. Just little lesson in cleanliness, the professor ex- plained. They were being relieved of vermin.
 You must you really must see the souk of the advocates :" he went on. So we came to an- other cobbled land. where rows of bearded men quatted in by 10 cub byholes. They squatted comfortably

the l50th anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown to be held in October A list of those to whom invitations will be extended is now being drawn up by the American em- bassy in Paris. In 1881 when the Tooth an- niversary of the battle was observed similar procedure was followed. Uncle Sam even sent the battleship Trenton. to France to bring the distinguished guests to the eoun- try. Maybe he will enlist one of his mer. chant marine fleet this year for the voyage The newest boat. the President Coolidge. might even be chosen. Who knows? Probably no Frenchman is held in more esteem in the United States than Lafayette. And justly SO. His exploits in the Revolutionary war char aeterized him as true patriot and gentle man. More honor to his memory!
