GARNETT, Kans., July 8.-With
just three minutes to go before the
opening of the fishing season, a
chap dropped his hook tbare) and
line into Lake Garnett to see how
deep it was. A two-pound bass
grabbed the hook and the fellow
reeled in.
A game warden decided that be-
cause it still lacked two minutes
of official starting time the fisher
man should cast back his two poun-
der and start with a fresh slate.
He fished all day with baited hook
and never had another nibble.

Increase Shown in
 Enrolment Figures
 Of Juneau Schools

Interesting figures showing the total enrolment and attendance in the Juneau Public School were submitted today by Superintendent A. B. Phillips. To date the num- Der of students attending shows an increase of 47 greater than last year and 125 more than the year previous. By the end of the school year it is expected that nearly 100 pupils will be enrolled in Juneau.
 "As enrolment increases it is only natural that absence and tardiness also increases. However, the high school record is too high with 223 cases of absence over a period of only 27 school days.
 Likewise, the number of tardi- ness cases in the high school is too great, especially when com pared to the grade school record. The grade school had only 147 tardy cases for 28l students The grade school record was about one tardy case for every four students and the high school was one tardy case for each two students"

income and the amount needed for
State administrative expenses, the
social security law authorizes admin
istrative rebates up to only 9,000.-
900 yearly.
1t has been found, however, that
actually the Government is receiv-
ing about $90,00o,000 yearly as its
ten per cent Of this particular pay
roll tax and that $4,000, 900 is not
sufficient for State administrative
needs. In the present year, in fact,
an emergency has arisen in which all
funds legally available for admins
tration Of this program will be ex-
hausted by mid-May.
To overcome this situation, the
board has asked that its authorize
ton for such disbursements be
raised to $8O,O00,O0O yearly and that
approximately 100000 be made
available in the next few weeks to
meet needs of the current year.
Since collections are more than
adequate to meet the need, it would
seem clearly desirable for Congress
to take the necessary action without
hesitation.

fitting climax, surrender to the Arabs,
with the concomitant violation of q
solemn pledge entered into during war
time to give to the eternally harassed
Jew homeland in Palestine!
Nearly every one must recognize that
the Jew has more of a legal and moral
right to Palestine than had the pilgrim
to Plymouth Rock or the cavalier to
Virginia's S soil. Not alone is the Jew
sentimentally and spiritually rooted in
Palestinian soil, but, judged by the
progress the Jew has made there in the
brief few years since the war, its very
soil cries out for his energy, his indus
try and his Transforming powers!
That the son of Jacob can find no
place for his weary head must give hui
manlty-Christian humanity-a sense of
humiliation and shame, for from his
very loins sprang Jesus and Paul and
Peter and James and the host of other
haloed and hallowed souls whose very
names spell all that is finest and noblest
in the hearts of men. If we would
bring these souls back to life, we can
do nothing better and more fitting than
to consecrate ourselves to the sacred
task of giving back to the Jew his land
of promise. HERMAN FELTER.

can afford to ignore the request of
the Social Security Board that it be
allowed to make supplementary ad-
ministrative grants to the States in
the present fiscal year.
When the social security law was
drafted it was decided that the
Federal administrative agency should
maintain a check on State adminis-
tration through a system OF alloting
Federal funds for administrative
purposes. Source of such funds was
to be ten per cent of the pay roll
taxes. to be retained by the Federal
Government while the remaining
ninety per cent went into State un-
employment reserves. Underestimate

Dubious Course

AS the world progresses and dlner-
ent forms of human activity are de-
veloped, usually our colleges lag be-
hind and have to be forcibly prodded
into instituting extra curricula to
prepare the youth of the Nation for
the newer careers. Generally the
alumni do the necessary prodding,
but once in a while it is done by the
undergraduates themselves, as re-
Gently at Harvard, where a student
started something by eating a live
goldfish. Other colleges followed
suit, but a Harvard sophomore, eat
ing for dear old alma mater, has def
nitely clinched the championship,
and made fifty dollars for himself,
by consuming twenty -four live gold
fish in five minutes fiat, using orange
juice as chaser between fish. Others
may eat more goldfish, but not with
the speed and poise attributed to the
Harvard entry.
Thus there seems little doubt that
Harvard offers the best course and
any young man desirous of perfect
ing himself in the new art should
enroll there. 1t is light, easy work in
an uncrowded field. Still, its future
is somewhat dubious. 1t is barely
possible that the graduate cum laude
in goldfish eating may have difficulty
in securing permanent employment
when thrown out on the wide, cold
world. According to the Department
of Commerce there is practically no
demand for his services. Worse still,
even If such demand could be built
up by judicious propaganda, college
diploma would be no protection
against cut-throat competition. A
graduate of lumber camp, who
needed the money, might very well
offer to eat live goldfish for nickel
apiece-and the National Labor Rela-
tions Board would be utterly power
less to stop him. The point should
not be overlooked that in these recess
sion days almost every one has a
price at which he would begin to eat
live fish. A QUESTIONABLE on this
matter, if honestly answered, would
show amazing results. Many hungry
citizens would be willing to eat them
free just for their food value. This
would tend to depress the market
and provide a bare living wage,
hardly worth the effort of four years
college training.

Pedestrians

A study Of traffic fatalities involv-
ing pedestrians over a period of
four years reveals the surprising fact
that more than nine out of ten
adults killed while walking on WASH
ington's streets were not automobile
drivers.
While, from the bare facts, many
conclusions may be drawn, they
should be drawn carefully. The re-
suits of the survey, as a statement
of fact, is Of utmost value in plan
ming against future accidents. But
it should not be looked upon as a
blanket indictment of non-drivers as
the careless element. While nine out
of ten pedestrians who lost their lives
did not drive cars, somewhat less
than three out of four persons killed
in all traffic accidents were pedes-
trians.
There are some few motorists who
drive most of the times joining the
ranks of pedestrians only in going
to or from their cars. There are
many persons who never drive and
seldom ride. Between the two ex-
tremes are the tens of thousands
who belong to both classes. The
motorist who seldom walks, and the
pedestrian who seldom rides are apt
to forget the rights and the diff
cultieS which surround the lives Of
their neighbors. The motorist may
fail to realize that the person in
front Of his car may suffer, unknown
even to himself, from faulty eye
sight, imperfect hearing, illness, or
physical disability. The man afoot,
through inexperience, may not know
the confusion he causes by stepping
into a lane of traffic, the difficulty
of seeing a dark clothed figure at
night, or the difficulty OF stopping a
car in few feet.
Pedestrians, under the new safety
regulations, have shown a remark
able effort at cooperation. This is
reflected in the decrease in accidents.
Further mutual understanding would
60 far in reducing the toll. A
broader and more general knowledge
Of traffic rights and responsibilities
by all citizens would seem to be the
solution of the problem. The old
joke about the answer of the pedes-
trian that he had been walking sixty
years longer than the motorist who
hit him had been driving is funny,
but misses the point.
The slogan for safety should be to
this effect: Know your rights and
duties, be fair, do your part.

A tripping robin greets me there,
With scarlet breast the sun has kissed;
And sweet along the dew-wet hedge
The hlacs fling their purple mist.

Against the laurel's glossy sheen,
And on the chimney's weathered bricks
New ivy f1aunts tender green.
Where stately tulips guard their bed,
Nod pansy faces, childish, wise,
And close beside my garden gate
The violet lifts her shy blue eyes.
I stand with hushed and reverent heart
Before this miracle Of birth;
My garden is . Holy Place.

Wagner

Richard wagner stands alone. He
was very human, yet he Is and always
will be isolated In the world of men
and Of music. Max Nordau and other
pessimists tried to explain him with
a theory Of pathology. They argued
that the whole species was declining
and cited the revolutionary author
of "Parsifap as an example of racial
deterioration. George Bernard Shaw
disposed of them and the fad for
vilification disappeared.
But the cult of Wagnerites had no
better philosophy to account for their
hero. They praised him without
comprehending his purposes. Yet the
objectives of his labors were simple
enough to be understood by any
listener content to accept the operas
themselves as they were written and
performed. The composer wanted to
quicken music with the power OF a
more energetic imagination than
commonly endowed it in the middle
Of the nineteenth century. He
aspired to grander achievement not
for himself alone but for all the
arts and all the artists. Strength
and nobility, he declared, were de-
manded in modern as in medieval
times, if progress were to be realized.
He rebelled against Intellectual So
phistries, asserted a need for a con-
scious renaissance, appealed for a
new dynamic in life.
His own career, his own experience,
instructed him. Born in the shadow
of Napoleon, he survived the anarchy
of which the Corsican was the archi-
tect. Never content with any polit-
ical system, never satisfied with any
expedient or opportunistic corrective,
he insisted upon maturity of leader
ship, loyalty, fruitful patriotism, an
honorable and helpful mutually of
appreciation among peoples, con-
slant struggle upward in every field
Of human enterprise. Often disap-
pointed, frequently bankrupt, he
maintained his dream unspoiled to
the end; and his place in history is
forever assured.
The prelude to "Die Meistersinger
Won Nurnberg" is symptomatic Of
Wagner's mastery. In it may be
found a key to everything that he
was and everything that he did.
