For this country to become ambi-

Good seed is available, and he urg-
ed farmers to either get seed known

tested before they rely on it for their

Stuart attributed the low germinat-
ing power of the seed partly to the
late mauriy of he 1886 crop in many
sections of the State. Late cotton is
often picked and stored while damp.
And damp cotton generates heat that
impairs the seed.
Damp seed stored in bulk after it
has been ginned will also tend to lose
its terminating power, Stuart added.
All seed should be placed in bags
where it can be exposed to plenty of
ventilation
He also pointed out that it takes
some time for the seed to develop it's
terminating power, and seed from
late crops sometimes fails to develop
his power by the time it is planted

Chinese Students.

An interesting sidelight to the current
Sino-Japanese conflict is the unfortunate
plight of number of Chinese exchange
professors and students stranded without
funds in America. In its death grapple
with the Rising Sun, the Chinese gov
ernment has neglected few of its own.
Fortunately for these students, how
ever, the Rockefeller Foundation has
come to their aid on the appeal of the
Institute of International Education from
whom the unfortunate scholars first
sought help.
Yet American charity of this sort often
pays heavy dividends in the form of
signal contributions to American educa-
ton and culture from assisted scholars.
Our large universities have in many
cases made places on their faculties
for brilliant scholars driven from Russia,
Italy, Germany and Spain by the strong
arm, anti-cultural dictatorship revolu-
tions. A great many of these men have
been helped by the Institute in getting
educationally settled In this country.
Certainly, in this case, what is one mans
loss is another mans gain.

Maryland and Virginia have similar
black records of Christmas carnage"
Forty -four persons were killed on streets
and highways in the Old Dominion be-
tween Christmas eve and New Year Day
last year. Ohcials say the total almost
doubled the average number of auto
deaths in that State during q normal
nine-day period.
So far this month the casualty list here
has been less than half that of 1896.
In the past all ages have been classed
among the victims, but peculiar fea-
ture of the death toll during the first
part of this month is that the youngest
victim was fifty-f1ve years of age.
1t is recognized that, by its very ma
ture, the Christmas season brings in
creased hazards. People are in hurry.
Often they are fatigued. The holidays
are for many time of indulgence. The
hours OF daylight are fewer than at any
other season. Frequently there is sleet,
ice and snow. Under the circumstances
extra care is essential If the traf1c toll
average is even to be maintained.
Warnings to drive carefully lose their
effectiveness through too many repeti-
tions, but they carry an emphasis of
timeliness now. If they are heard and
needed above the Christmas bells the
casualties can be reduced. In the hands
of all that use the highways lies the
power to make Christmas safe as we'll as

which they live the gift which Is the

The normal American male-nat-
chested, round-shouldered and with q
protuberant paunch.
Such is the anthropologists picture,
cited by DR.. John Dollard Of the Yale
University Institute for Human Rela-
tions and exemplified by the figure in
the American Museum Of Natural His
tory, based on the averages Of 100000
who returned from the World War.
1t is what is shown by rulers and
calipers, DR.. Dollard says. They tell the
truth, entirely uninhuenced by national
pride or national ideals. But at that.
very likely, the normal American is a
better and handsomer physical specimen
than the average Of any other race. If
the truth were known, he probably
wouldn't suffer by comparison with the
Greeks. The sculptors of Athens didn't
bother with the average Of their fellow
citizens. They preserved the ideal.
The American male OF the haberdash-
cry ads doubtless exists. He is the type
whose regular features and athletic fig
ure will be handed down to posterity rs
the normal Of the early 10th century.
But there will be found very few of the
type in any actual assembly Of men. The
statue cited by DR.. Dollard probably rep
resents type slightly better than the
average After all. the veterans of the
World War represented q physical Sc
lection.
It is of course, a normal" to be worked
away from. But meanwhile there is no
occasion for such acute inferiority feel
ings when reading the clothing ads.
Many Of US" says DR.. Dollard in a
report just issued by the Cooper Union
in New York, compare ourselves with
ideals and imaginary standards Of be-
havior. rather than with the average or
normal behavior picture. 1t is perhaps
as well that we do, since ideals may be
Of great influence on behavior even
though they are rarely met in fact"
Psychologically DR.. Dollard finds the
average American quite a respectable
fellow. clean in habits, ambitious and
depending on his own efforts to rise In
the world, and reasonably devoted to
his family. But, DR.. Dollard says, he is
believes that his enemy is . demon; he
believes what he reads in the papers.
and toward his children he shows a
mixture Of low esteem, love and physical
severity. On the other side Of the pic
ture "he believes in every one going to
school at least through the eighth grade,
that our American productive system is
the most efficient In the world, and that
religion does not hurt anybody, especially
his children. He defends the value Of
the right to vote, even when he does not
use 1t.
"Our ideal standard Of personal be-
havior Is set in childhood" DR.. Dollard
said, "and 1t is set by our parents. Par
ents, Of course, are fallible beings and
they often preach better than they prac-
tice. Many Of US carry these standards
learned in childhood forward into adult
life and try to make our behavior ap-
