Supreme Confidence
There's no confidence quite like
the confidence of a parent in his

here with Mrs. Schmitt and their

It's About Time
A bit out of our bailiwick, but
nevertheless interesting, is the
news story from Charles City,
Iowa, where a family named Cos
lin had lived in house for the
last three years. then moved to
Los Angeles. A family named Gels
pronounced "geese'O moved into
the house. Seems to RR that three
years is plenty of time to change
from GoSlins to Gels
The Seasons Contrast
In a local drug store Monday
morning RR noticed the elaborate
set of Christr.ss decorations-and
by the front door an electric fan
was busily keeping the air moving
That is carrying pride in our cli-
mate Just bit too far, consider
ing RRs chilled fingertipS.
Branching Out
1t has ceased to be, worthy of
note that drugstores serve every
thing from pills to punching bags,
but .'hen the proprietor turns into
a jack of all trades, that's some
thing else again. And you could
not call Bill Clements anything
else if you'd seen him, complete
with screw driver and accessories,
doing something to the public
scales out in front of his establish
ment. Or was it because Bill didn't
believe the scales?
Just One Guess
Seen in passing: Harry Horton
and Cal Rector in deep conference
over a cup of coffee early Monday
morning. If they weren't talking
football, RR's willing to buy them
both a drink.
The Way To Tell
One infallible way to tell who
is and who is not Stanford grad
this week is to mention the Colum-
bia game. If he says, "Oh, Stan
ford just had an off day., and
forces a grin, he probably only
betting on Stanford in the Rose
Bowl, but if he grunts, and his chin
drops so low he can't pick it up
to say anything, he's a Stanford
man.
Just For Looks
The spare tire on the ECPD's
Black Maria, we noticed, has
very slight hole in the top of it,
thru which protrudes bit of inner
tube about the size of your thumb
if you have large thumb. After
witnessing an Intellectual attempt
Monday to start Black Maria. RR
is inclined to the belief that the
department goes on the theory you
don't need spare tire if your au-
tomobile won't run, SO why worry.
Or perhaps they're hoping the
thing will give way when couple
members of the city council are
around some day-and call official
attention to the need for a new
spare or a new Black Maria.

his words in scoring the committee

dress before the annual convention of

Declaring that the G. /. O. may
have been started as a dictatorship
but it has become nothing but a
racket" Mr.. Watson said:
II believe in calling spade a
spade. The quicker we get rid of
these people the better off we will be.
We are not going to let them come
in and tear down what we have built
up. We are not going to make a
racket out of the American Fedora

promise to revolutionize the entire
world-give them little more rope
and they will hang themselves.

ployers or employees. Some dictator
calls strike and Immediately so to

March Of this year marks the
ninetieth anniversary of the birth
of one who in later life was to have
a profound effect upon the economic
and social development of the en-
tire world: Alexander Graham Bell,
inventor Of the telephone. He was
born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on
March 3, 1S47, the son of Eliza Sy-
monds and Alexander Melville Bell.
His Was Fine Heritage
1t must have been something
more than a coincidence that this
baby boy should grow up to be the
man who discovered the means Of
transmitting words and the sounds
Of the human voice by wire. For the
atmosphere Of the home in which
he grew up may be said, figuratiVe-
ly, to have been STEPPED in sound.
From his mother, young Bell in
herited much Of her skin as a mu-
stefan and much of her sensitive
and accurate feeling for musical
sounds. Not less clearly discernible
is the effect upon Bells character
of his Inheritance from and his con-
facts with his father and his grand
father.
Grandfather Was Student of Speech
Bells grandfather, Alexander
Bell, Of London, was an elocution-
ist-but not an elocutionist in the
sense merely that he taught his pu-
pills how to deliver sonorous decla-
nations, with appropriate gestures.
His interest in the matter went
deeper than that. He studied sound,
and made a science Of speech, pri-
marily in order that he might there.
by find means Of correcting defec-
tive utterance. He delved deep into
the mechanism Of speech with the
object Of explaining to his pupils
the proper positions of the vocal or
gans while speaking. He wrote text.
books on the subject and his pupils
included clergymen and actors.
This profession became, as 1t
were, family inheritance. Alexan-
der Bells Oldest son, David Charles
