held by men of criminal tendencies,

Cermak, whose vision is clear, has
made war on all sorts of public and
private lOOting. He has worked hard
to better conditions, and he has done
little. He sees the bigness of his
job. He faces it with courage. He
conceives that Chicago can be run
without tax robbery. He knows that
it cannot be carried on even partially
as good men wish unless the stable
is cleaned out and honest men put on
guard. Cermak fills the bill.

BUTTER AND THE TARIFF
Minneapolis STAR

How brilliantly the SmoOt-Hawley
tariff is functiOning in behalf of the
Minnesota producer is aptly illustrat-
ed by the fact, cited by Justice Royal
A. Stone of the supreme court, that
Canadians are buying their butter
5000 miles from home instead of a
few miles over the border that sepa-
rates Minnesota from Manitoba.
North Americans still boast that
the Canada-United States border is
the only International boundary line
unnamed by armed troops. What
they cannot brag about is that the
line is non-eXistent as far as exchange
Of comm odities is concerned. The
imaginary line has become Chinese
wall, and the Smoot-Hawley bill is re-
sponsible for that stupid and expen-
sive job of masonry.

HOT SHOTS

In the Pioneer Press

Lots Of people who have been eX-
pecting appointments for the last sew
eral months soon will be getting dis
appointments.
A Lesson.
This oughta be a lesson to office
holders never to hold an election
when corn is selling for five cents a
bushel.
In Time.
Republicans who met defeat,
And thought they were above it,
May take it from the Democrats,
They may not come to love it,
But year by year, as time goes on,
They'll feel its rough caress,
And, like the Democrats. will learn
To hate it less and less.
Ought to Bar En-.
When a pair of wrestlers catapulted
out of the ring into the lap of a
sports writer he knocked them both
unconscious. They should not allow
such rough persons to go to wrestling
matches.
Same Thing.
News Item: presidential electors
have the right to cast their ballots
for any candidate, irrespective of the
vote of their state" It's just like the
right of husbands to stay out after
two in the morning. They have it
but they don't dare exercise it.
Dirt.
The window washer has a job
A lot like politics,
Who washes hard and polishes
Each little speck that sticks.
When spots and smudges linger on
No matter how he's tried,
1t always seems that all the dirt
Is on the other side.
After Poor Richard.
A penny spent won't pay the rent.

A new approach to this problem

Aristotle Is being undertaken by Rev.

with the aid of the motion picture

DR.. Rauths procedure Is to take NOV

These pictures then are shown to classes
OF graduate students and others who
are asked to rate the youngsters on
various character traits such as self
assertion, industry, desire for applause,
suggestibility, courage, volubility, etc.
The ratings then are compared with
those made by members of the school
faculty, who deal with the boys every
day IN all sorts Of situations and know
all about them.

Thus far, DR.. Rauth says, there has
been remarkably high correlation be-

that there are qualities Of some sort In

and are required to do simple tasks Of

lip motions are photographed. A con-

Thus far, DR.. Rauth says, the rat
ings have been made on the total i'm
preston created by the movie without
any enort to pick out the specific Pc
culiarities Of movement or shades Of
facial expression upon which the judg-
ments are based. He plans to increase
the number Of situations" until judgers
are able to reach a high degree Of ac-
curacy for some character traits and to
eliminate gradually from his scheme
those traits on which there is no very
high agreement.
Some Ratings Pure Guesses.
Already he has found that ratings on
some traits, such as desire for ap-
plause are little more than pure guesses
on the part of the raters. Other rat
ings, such as those for self-assertive-
ness. appear to have a definite basis.
DR.. Rauth's next objective will be
to fnd what specific things form the
basis for the ratings Then it may be
possible to make general application
Of these In judging character and to
