indorses Yale's recently announced
program of athletics as IAN impor-
tant forward step in American COL
legiate athletics, sound in principle,

The authorities at New Haven,
says the Bulletin, ARE to be con-
graduated on taking the initiative
in this matter. There IS sufhcient
agreement in fundamentals to war
rant the hope Of cordial co-opera-
ton from Harvard"
In editorials published last Winter
the Bulletin suggested that steps be
taken to reduce the cost of intercol-
legiate contests and to diminish the
attention which they receive from
the public. Some reduction in the
foot ball schedule and limiting Har-
Yards contests to games with "natu-
raj rivals" was also suggested.

little that at this season and probably
for the greater period of riveting the
windows Of buildings within the range
Of sound will be open, for such q din Is
not to be shut out by glass.
There is no disposition to resent this
cacophony. It means some discomfort,
but at the same time it means that men
are working, and work Is now what is
most needed in this country, work that
earns wages and at the same time pro-
duces useful, needed structures. The
riveting machines are, perhaps. to be
viewed as the heralds of reviving pros
perity in the land.
Furthermore, these roars and raetles
mean progress on the Government con-
struction project that is to bring relief
to thousands who are now housed for
their official duties in comfortless and
at such season as this suffocating quar-
tiers. The other day the heat in these
temporary Offices was so great that
many Of the Government employees had
to be released from their desks.
Some day way will be found to
fasten together the structural units Of
large buildings without the noises that
are now necessary. The pneumatic ham,
mer lessened the din considerably as
compared with that caused by the hand
sledges of former times. A great for
tune awaits the genius who can devise
a method of pressing steel into perma-
nent f1xation and tying up the members
of the skeleton frames of great fabrics

danger of too many people on the seat

There is altogether too much incom-
petent and reckless driving on the roads
at present. High speeds, incapable
steering, bad Judgment in threading
through traffic, disregard of signals, in
difference to the rights of other road
users are piling up ghastly records OF
casualties. Motor cars are used as
playthings by many persons, particu-
larly by the younger ones. The other
night in Maryland a car was driven at
furious speed from crossroad into a
highway, colliding with a truck, the
driver of which had no chance to evade
a meeting, and the three occupants of
the machine were killed. The truck
driver has been exonerated from all
blame, responsibility evidently resting
upon the driver of the passenger car.
who failed to observe the fundamental
rule of caution at an intersection.
Inquests and court proceedings seem
to give no effective warning to the
younger drivers, who are contributing
at an appalling rate to the casualty toll
of the road. A veritable mania for
speed RACES unchecked until it has be-
come one Of the gravest menaces from
which this country is now suffering.

The Evil of Reckless Motoring

A traffic case just tried at Hyatts-
vile calls attention to a practice that
is too frequent for public safety. A
car in which four persons were riding
on the front seat was halted for inquiry
and the man who sat behind the driv-
ing wheel was arrested for operating a
car without a permit and for reckless
driving. Inquiry developed the fact
that the man arrestedsw was not steering
the car, which was being actually
driven by girl who sat alongside Of
him. He was dismissed with a warning
not to get so close to steering wheel
again in Maryland until he had obtained
permit. The girl was not arrested
and the case was dropped. According
to the report Of the affair no one was
held accountable for the presence OF
such a large number Of people on the
front seat. The Districts regulations
forbid such overcrowding. Apparently
the Maryland rules do not. But the

Through European Eyes.

Current indications of the upswing
in business in this country are COM
monty dismissed by politically minded
persons as species Of market manipu-
lation engineered in the interest of the
Republican party and the Hoover ad-
ministration. Every squirt in the stock
market, each announcement of the re-
opening of a mill or factory. increases
in the prices of farm commodities-all
such manifestations are scorned by cynic
or partisan as part and parcel of the
conspiracy" to manufacture a fictitious
prosperity for the benefit of the G. o. P.
in November.
From England today comes state
ment which reflects that overseas OBJ
servers are assessing the changed times
in the United States at their real value.
The London Economist, authoritative
voice of British big business and high
finance, reiterates the view it expressed
six weeks ago, when things began to
grow better in America, and maintains
its contention that the United States
"has passed its crisis" Specifically, the
journal says, I'VE do not share the
opinion of those who would dismiss the
recent Wall Street recovery as a piece
of purely electoral stage management in
the interests of Hoover"
The London Economist, on the con-
trary, finds that the bases of American
business improvement are so unquali-
fiedly sound that the progress now
evident is inevitable, normal and
destined to be cumulatively substantial.
The domestic consuming power Of the
United States and what is termed ats
nearly self-contained unity" are de-
scribed as the factors which make a
revival Of prosperity for a long period
easier for the American people than for
others. In the case of European ma
tions, the London Economist emphasizes
the necessity Of new trade and tariff
arrangements looking to a freer flow of
commerce If the recovery, which Is set
ting in on this side of the Atlantic, Is
to start in the Old World with any
chance of lasting improvement.

Fisherman In Trouble
For Staying Out Late.


La Macedoine, Geneva (ex-territorial
antl-government publications.. - The
fisherman, Stephan Tzvetkoff Popoyski
of the village of Nakoletz, in Western
Macedonia, has been following his "pro-
fession" for some years with the con-
sent OF the authorities. However, one
day not long ago, PopovsId asked for
and obtained a special permission to
remain little longer in the evening on
the fishing grounds of Lake Prespa.
NOW, Tor the past five years, the cur
few has. been an ordinance in Mace
DOMAIN villages, under the regulations
OF the domineering Serbians. Nobody.
Tor any reason whatsoever, is allowed
outside his house between sunset and
dawn. Woe to that unfortunate person
who may be found at dusk outside his
village or even outside his dwelling.
Popovski knew this, but thought he had
special privilege for this particular
occasion.
Tired out with his Iabors the poor
fisherman forgot his danger and was
rash enough to fall asleep on the
banks OF the lake where he was found
by patrol OF Serbian gendarmes. He
showed them his special permit, but to
no avail. Popovski was arrested, hand
cuffed, and taken on foot to the police
station at Loubo1no, nearly four kilo-
meters distant. The officer in charge
there, wishing to escape responsibility
In SO serious an affair, sent the cul-
prit on under heavy guard, and still
on foot, to the district police head
quarters at Ressen, % kilometers
farther. There he was accused of
awaiting the arrival of political COM
rades, in the dark, after curfew for
the purpose of organizing revolu-
tionary committee.
In the course of few days how
ever, insufficient evidence having been
adduced, even for Serbian magistrate.
as to the exact degree of Popovski's
guilt, he was released, very reluctantly.
1t need scarcely be said, on the part
OF the authorities. and allowed to re-
trace. still afoot, the 81 kilometers, back
to his own village.
The pretext for such tyrannies by
the Serbs Is that people who appear
to them to be undesirable and dan
gerous need a vigflant control. This
on-acceptability consists of USUALLY
fancied rebellion to the Serbian civic
principle that Macedonia is not for
the Macedonians: It seems that soon
the Macedonians will be permitted only
under suffrance in their own land. SO
far. this consent, negative though It is,
is intended merely to ingratiate foreign
public opinion

ence, Lackaye cannot be forgotten by
the older American playgoing public or
its surviving veteran figures"
In pointing the moral that Mr.. Lack

Wilton Lackaye was asked to address a
dignif1ed meeting in New York. He
prepared suitable speech, not know
ing that he was to be but one of list
Of orators. He came late in the list
at that. Every speaker used more than
the specified time, and each was intro
duced by a long-winded chairman.
Lackaye squirmed while this chairman
was giving the history and predicting
the future Of the actor they were about
to hear, and, closing, said: Mr.. Lack
aye will now give you his address
Lackaye rose, bowed profoundly and
remarked: My address is the Lambs
Club and strobe from the platform. {"
That he knew the value of proper pub
Icity Is emphasized by the Newark Eve
ming News as it recounts: "Lackaye
gradually became q figure in the con-
temporary drama, always a lone wolf,
but fine actor. He was a natural
born publicist for himself, sometimes
unconsciously. perhaps. He believed in
publicity and invariably practiced It.
With it he was a really fine actor. His
departure from the scene leaves a dis
tinct vacancy in the world of the
theater"
To the Buffalo Evening News "the
death of Wilton Lackaye removes one
more OF the figures that preserved a
con" .ction Of present times with the
American stage of its greatest days"

From the Oregon Journal
A ragged man was gazing into a
show window. Well dressed women and
men hurried past. Not for a con-
siderable time did a passerby notice
that he was barefoot.
An elderly man stopped finally and

tell me you cannot even afford a pair
Of shoes?"

but you see a friend of mine Is after
job in this store and he had no
shoes. I loaned him mine"

ing his shoes to a friend who for a
time needed them more than the
owner, exampled the principle and the
policy that, universally applied, would
forever Danish depressions, forever end

A short time later the well dressed
man who questioned him and the bare
foot man emerged together from a
shoe store, the once naked feet Of the
latter encased in pair of shining new

Farm Land Taxes.
From the Rock Island Argus.

TAoHh the ROCK Island Argus.
In a report just made public the
department Of Agriculture affirms that
an increase Of $50 per cent in taxes
per acre on farm lands took place
between 1913 and 1880. In the mean
time farm products have not increased
IN price proportionately to this tax
rise. The period OF most rapid tax
increase, the department notes, was
from 1916 to 1921. After 1921 the tax
per acre was relatively stable for a
few years. However, in 1925, an upward
movement began which eliminated In
1929. In Illinois the tax per acre was
40 cents In 1918, but by 1880 II had
risen to $1.16. Taxes responded to the
increase in farm land values brought
about by the World War, but they did
not go down in proportion to the down.

the war.
