TempIeton Rave

However, it has taken Dick Tem- pleton, Stanford track coach, really to turn on the heat over Kiesel's prospects.
 The good Dink. doubtless pleas ed at an opportunity to prick the friends of the University of South ern California, wrote short time ago in the San Francisco Cal-Bul- letin that when right Kiesel should worry about Frankie Wy koff or any of the rest of them. ,
 Dink saw Bob perform in a high school meet shortly before the 1928 Olympic trials, and has been one of his biggest boosters since. He is "the only man I have ever seen who could run faster and in more perfect form simply by trying harder" Templeton wrote With out a doubt (he) is the greatest natural sprinter the game has pro- duced."
 This judgment, coming from a track coach of Templeton's as- tuteness makes it look like we are going to have to keep a rather close check on one Bob Kiesel in our speculation on an Olympic pros- poets"

Reports are coming in furious ly that Flying Frank Wykoff will not have everything his way in the hundred-yard dash out on the west coast this year.
 A big blond headed lad by the name of Bob Kiesel seems to have convinced coast critics that he has very good chance to run shoulder to shoulder with the Trojan flash any time they meet.
 Kiesel is the lad, you may re- call, who, an awkward appearing, 15-year-old high school kid, quail fled for the Olympic team in the Pacific Coast tryouts in 1928. but who was later persuaded by friends to drop out because of his ex- treme youth.
 Now the pride of the University of California track team, in his first tr-yout this year, Kiesel ran 80 yards in Is seconds, and run

AirmaiI Cost Dozen

THE growth of the passenger service of ths
airmaf lines of this country particularly
on the coast-to-coast routes, which has been
steady, has brought about constantly re-
ducing cost to the Government of operation
of these lines. For September of this year,
despite the effects of the depression, the number
of passengers flying over the various routes
averaged better than 1000 a day The total
for the month, as matter of fact, was 36.l22,
which was an increase of more than 5000
over the figures of the previous September
The number of miles flown daily. too, has
shown big increase. The total of 97,968 miles
each day is almost six thousand over the figures
OF the previous September.
The result of this increased use In air pas
senger and mail service has reduced the cost
to the Government of the service by around
nine cents mile, the present cost being about
So cents.
The speeding up Of the service during the
past year has brought further reduction In
the time for flying between the East Coast and
the West Coast, the present schedules, which
are maintained with remarkable accurary, re-
quiring slightly more than three hours over one
full day for the flight. The return flight from
the West Coast Is made in about four hours
less because Of the prevailing wind currents

These examples are well remembered. But
they not isolated. Yesterdays news told of
events similar to these in other cities Tomor-
rows papers will tell Of others.
We have left the French Revolution behind
so far as the calendar is concerned, but the
same human nature seems to be largely un-
changed. With better governments it does not
attack reigning royalty; instead, we have gin
murders, the girl bandit, amateur hold-up men,
and the thrill crimes
Henry VIII of England was licentious and
lecherous ruler whose immoralities shock us to-
day. We like to think that such things are no
longer part of human nature. Yet the Rev.
DR.. H. F. Davidson, rector of Stifkey, England
who was unfrocked by his church and SEN
fenced by the court on charges of immortality
raised money for appealing his conviction by
charging an admission for curiosity-seekers to
view him in barrel.
And the beautiful blond who shot her Chicago
bootlegging husband went on the stage, not
through any histrionic ability, but because we
wanted to know her, though only from
seat in the balcony.
Are these traits of the middle ages out of
human nature now, or are we deceiving our
selves in an idealistic way, just as it has been
found that we all underestimate our undesir-
able traits and overestimate our desirable ones?
YEARS ago there was a bluebeard, SO terrible
LildG ue SeeIIS ike a mybn. 1udI1k ROOQ-
ness, we like to think civilization has improved
us so that such things are only for memory
and Nightmares. But memory must not let
us forget Powers, in West Virginia, who lured
women through matrimonial agencies and
buried their bodies in concrete.
Bluebeard merely had stone walls into which
to build his victims; science gave Powers con-
crete, as well as the automobile to obtain his
victims faster-just as science gave the Valen-
tine day gangsters machine guns and auto
mobiles weighing two TONS while the gangsters
who did away with Princess de Lambale had
only swords and knives.
Can science be developing p3wers which make
these traits which apparently have not been
civilized out Of human nature the more ter
rible in their power? Can science possibly be
developing these traits rather than annihilating
them?
Then we like to think that democracy has
also freed us from such insane rulers as the
Romanoffs, the paranoid Marat, Ivan the Ter
rble with his general paralysis of the brain, the
psychasthenic King James I, or the Cracked"
Frederick the Great. Perhaps we think We are
more civilized and improved over our ancestors
merely because facts are so often covered up
JEALOUS Henry VIII had the glamorous
- Anne Boleyn beheaded. Is human nature
civilized above murderous jealousy?
In the Summer of 1882 Mrs. Lula Wilson Of
Florida was killed in jealous duel
1ncenSed by jealousy, 30-year-old Mrs Will
son attacked and choked her 25-year-old rival
Desperately, her rival tore away, grabbed a
convenient butcher knife and plunged it up to
the hilt in her adversary's side.

bears Their surging hatreds, their violence
over trifes, the terrible prosecutions and
bloody ravsges of their rulers, their con-
sistent infidelities and the primitive horrors
OF their wars are things of the past. That Is
our dream.
Great numbers of people thought, for in
stance that We were too civilized, too educated,
in America to think seriously of war. Then
when we entered a war to end wars they gave
it their wholehearted support, because they be-
lieved it had been started by "those backward
central European powers and that had TO
step in to stop it.
We were, SO to speak, civilized above the stage
of liking war; but due to this very superiority
We had to step in to educate the more back
ward countries.
There is no denying that human evolution
has not stopped. 1t is stin going on, especially
in our mental and social natures; it did not
stop with Darwin.
Just what direction it takes however depends
upon how we, as people, direct it. If we de-
ceive ourselves into thinking that we are above
conflict and war, then are not helping our
selves evolve away from these elements In our
mental and social structures.
Yet many thousands of thinking people, by
loudly and repeatedly SAYING we are no longer
eombative, thereby defeat the aim of develop
ing our natures so that the traits which cause
wars can be eliminated, minimized, If they
cannot entirely be uprooted
A SMALL group of idealistic psychologists
recently were polled to enable a society
advocating peace at any price to publish the
statement that war was no longer a part of
human nature. But human nature is not chang
ed in a moment by reading propaganda That
is net the way evolution and development take
place.
How much different are we from the people
OF the middle ages in those traits we think were
peculiar and petty then? Is our civilizing done
or do we have great distance to cover yet be-
Tore the tabled day is here when wars shall
cease?
We like to think gone forever such events
as that frightful September scene in the French
Revolution when the physician Jean Paul
Marat, formed tribunal to sit in Judgment
over group of political prisoners while outside
the tribunal chambers nilled a group of hired
gangsters
The gentle and pretty Princess de LambaIle
OF the Queens household, was brought before
the tribunal. Terrified, she collapsed, and sew
eral times she tainted. Hebert, the judge said
LET madame be released"
Walking toward the door she saw the hired
murderers engaged to look after the political
prisoners who were given a release that was an
ironical mockery. Shrinking back she shrieked,
'Fi-horreur!" The gangsters cut her body into
pieces, committing obscene horrors with them
Are we above such horrors now? Perhaps
you and I. But-recall that on a recent st.
Valentines day stable group Of men were
lined up against a brick garage wall in an
American city and cold steel was coolly pumped
into them. And Assistant State Attorney Nc
Swiggin received similar cold lead from cool
hands while riding in an automobile on the
