I'll do that.
Unfortunately, it is wholly i'm
possible to pick any date at which
nothing is happening concerning
which you think you ought to be
writing. For instance, I'd like
to get into the campaign to urge
all American colleges to stay away
from the Heidelberg festival.
There is even less excuse for our
being represented there than at

These LeIUis' Confusing

A assistant professor of economics at the Uni
versity of Oklahoma has right to feel that
newspapers and newspaper commentators are doing
less than their full duty in keeping their readers
acquainted with happenings in the labor world At
any rate he writes:
occasionally give my classes an incidental test
on general information The first thing on the test
was Identify Cd John L. Lewis; 90 Sinclair Lewis;
CD Joe Louis, Fifty papers selected at
dom and graded. Every one of the SO students
knew rather definitely the identity of Joe Louis
Thirty-eight of the so identified Sinclair Lewis,
most of them rather vaguely but they at least knew
that he famous American novelist. Only
eight of the so had any recognizable idea of the
identity of John l.. Lewis. One answered this
by writing, John L. Lewis is United States SEN

Now what right have I to be in Houston betting
on race horses when potential readers near at hand
and college students at that think that the pres-
dent OF the United Mine Workers of America has

Benedict Jarmel, one of the
younger stars of New York, gave
me today's hand, played in re-
cent duplicate game.
Jarmel sat in the East. His
partner opened the ace of clubs.
Now you can see the situation
that confronts East. He holds the
singleton king of trumps, which he
would like to make, and there is
only one chance to make it. That
is for declarer to be forced to lead
from his own hand.
Jarmel reasoned that declarer
might easily lay down an honor
and take the finesse in spades, in
which case his king would make.
AS South had opened the bidding,
it was not unreasonable to figure
that he must have the ace of
hearts.
So, even though dummy was voic

nNCE ashore our hero discovers that he does not
- belong to the class of gaudy, it;nerant Amer
leans who are always passing through town with
money to spend duck dinners and wine and
suites at the Grand Hotel but is member of the
working classes too poor to smoke his wonted brand
of 12-cent American gaspers because they cost any,
where from 60 cents to dollar abroad. He may
nave owned a car of some kind when he was home
but that would be fantastic luxury in his new
condition, and it does not take long to learn that
he can't afford to belong to the so-called American
colony.
More often than not this is break for him
however, because the average American colony in a
foreign capital is dominated by a curious type of
pest, male and female, who undertake to inter-
pref to their foreign friends land which they have
summed for many years and who blush for other
Americans as being too American.
Our subject will discover that his day off is lust
humorous figure of speech and will lie awake
nights doing little problems in mental arithmetic to
if American journalists enjoyed the same legal rights
as their Italian colleagues who draw double pay for
working on the seventh day.
There time after the war when the Amer
lean service abroad was highly enchanting and that
era produced some very spectacular barflies who
have now vanished from the scene however leaving
the field to working types whose existence is neither
picturesque nor prosperous
The picture of Europe today as presented to
American readers is not observed in the backbar
mirror of saloon or through the bottom of a glass;
and the scene in a bureau is merely that of young
reporters and desk men doing their job good deal
the same similar tasks done at the other end
OF the cable. 1t takes lively imagination to per-
ceive in this work of preparing copy and showing it
along the romantic allure of the foreign service which
exists in the vision of the journalism student at Co.
lumbia Ohio State.

ZINC SULPHATF:
CURES DISEASE

Little leaf, or apple rosette, a dis
ease of apple trees, has been elm
mated by injecting zinc sulphate
into the trunks, according to State
College horticulturists. Small holes
are drilled two or three inches into
the trunk The holes are slanted
downward so that the zinc sulphate
crystals are kept from remaining
near the tender cannbriurn tissue
just beneath the bark. The holes
are corked and heal over without
causing physical injury to the tree.
The zinc is. gradually dissolved and
taken up through the water con-
Quoting vessels of the tree. Zinc
coated nails or zinc pieces (galvan-
lied by dipping into hot zinc) may
be driven into the trunks or main
branches for the control of this
trouble.

FORETELLING the mandates Of
the people through nationwide
polls has gradually emerged, like
the forecasting of weather, from
status of haphazard conjecture to
one of scientific accuracy. No longer
must a person wait until after cleo

people; the direction of the political
winds can now be foretold with
great degree of accuracy by the
scientific sampling of voters through
nation wide polls.
While some of these may be
wrong, the overwhelming percent
age of accuracy of the Literary Dl-
gest polls and others, such as those
taken by the magazine Fortune and
| the American Institute of Public
Opinion, has given many a politi-
clan a sample of what is in store
for him on election day.
The latest poll conducted nation
ally is one by the American Insti-
tute of Public Opinion on the ques-
ton of government old age pen
sion systems. OF the voters con-
tacted, 80 per cent were in favor of
such a system, but on the question
of how much pension should be,
In copyrighted report by the
Institute, says the Christian Science
Monitor, the average sum asked for
was $40 per month for one person
or $50 for a couple. In regards to
the Townsend Old Age Pension
plan, the report says, only 3.8 per
cent of the people of the nation
are in favor Of payments of 5000
per month to persons over co. The
poll showed that the Townsend plan
holds chief favor in the three Pa
cific coast states, where the sup
porting percentage is 16 per cent,
with California registering 1877 per
cent in favor, Washington, 1913 per
cent, and Oregon, 25.2 per cent. The
mountain states give the plan II
per cent, but elsewhere, the poll in
