 Among major schools that adopted the theory this year, or retained it while changing coach es, he lists Notre Dame itself, Kentucky, Texas, North Carolina State. Duquesne, Alabama Poly, and New Mexico State.

CANAL 20 YEARS OLD

Twenty years ago on August Is the
Panama Canal was opened, but during its
early years traffic was not great, owing to
land slides which closed the channel from
time 20 time, and also because Of tie re-
duced movement of shipping due to the
war.
The canal was not declared officially
opened until 1920, since which time about
10000 commercial tolIpaying vessels
have passed through it. paying tolls ex-
ceeding $500. 100000. In addition, many
AmericaR warships and other government
vessels have used the canal toILfree
Up to 1888 expenditures in building
and improving the canal had reached $40
million dollars, the interest on which at 3
per cent Is more than Is million dollars a
year
Contrary TO the general belief, the
Panama Canal has not been a paying

can be considered an asset to the federal
government is by taking into account its
supposed value to the national defense.
Whether the canal could be defended
against first-class power in time Of war
IS one Of the country's important military
problems. This problem did not arise
during the World War, as the Central
Powers had no fleet in either the Atlantic
or Pacific after the United States entered
the struggle.

"UNvAREISHED TRUTH"
miami Daily Ncws)

miami Daily NeWs9
When Julias F. Stone. Jr., FERA chief FOR
Florida, addressed Key West residents the other
day. he said number Of things that may have
sounded ike harsh criticism to some Of his hearers
the Key West Citizen commented but the think
ing part Of his audience admitted that he dealt in
cold, hard facts and nothing but the unvarnished
truth.9
For example. We take this excerpt from the
Citizens report Of his speech:
People Of Key West have paid too much
attention to the promotion Of bridges. If the
bridges actually today, what could
the city offer in the line Of attractions to
lure great number Of visitors to come?
Would any candidate, dependent upon the
favor Of these people, have dared thus to indulge
in the unvarnished truth? Politicians ready
with promises to build bridges to Key. West re-
store naval stations and revive industries would,
if laid end to end span the long reach to the 1la-
land. But they would make no better bridge than
the dust covered papers that through disappointing
yeats have recorded their promises
Mr.. Stone, free to speak his mind speaks it,
Key West is now free to choose between his adj
vice and that Of the prolific promisers it has
followed IN vain. If ever the nation abandons its
bedsheet ballots and concentrates on the election
q a few good truthworthy men to administer It's
affairs, there may be more officials free to offer
"unvarnished truth" to those willing to face it.
Too frequently the choice has been limited to the
advice of those who specialize i'm telling voters
only what they like to hear.

MAsON-DIxoN LINE

How term originally Of only local
significance may acquire a far wider
meaning IS seen in the use Of the name
Mason and Dixon's Line, the popular
name Of the boundary line between Penn
sylyania and Maryland.
Because Of dispute between William
Penn and Lord Baltimore over the boun-
Diary which divided their respective colo
MES in 1852, the controversy was con
tinued BY them and their heirs for nearly
60 years.
Finally. in l7e3, two surveyors,
Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon, were
given the task Of establishing the line, to
which the disputants agreed. The line was
originally marked by milestones, every
fifth stone bearing on one side the Penn
coat Of arms and on the other that Of Lord
Baltimore.
The name was afterwards popularity
applied to designate an imaginary line
separating the free and slave states, the
phrase being first used in that sense by
john Randolph in speech in Congress in
1920.
Newspapers and the public took UP
the expression and Mason and Dixon's
Line" has been used to designate the divid-
ing line between North and South ever
since
