John d. Rockefeller had given 5
million dollars to the Harvard
University school of business.
The next days papers announced
a gift of 2 million dollars to Yale
for research and experiments in
psychiatry. Hardly q day passes
that | do not read in a news
paper of a handsome gift to
Harvard or Yale or Princeton or
some other institution in the
North. Thus endowments that
are already large are steadily in
creased. A gift that doesn't get
more than small headline on an
inside page in that part Of the
country would cause so much ex-
citement in Virginia or North

would proclaim it with banner

watching the Road Work

One of the arguments made Dy
the opponents Of the $500, ,OOO,-
600 road bond issue was that
spending all that money In q
short period, probably not more
than four or five years, would
inevitably result in faulty con
struction: that is, in roads OF
poor quality. TIE fear was ex-
pressed that the State woulo not
be able to obtain as promptly as
they were needed an adequate
number Of competent inspectors
to make sure that the contractors
lived up to the specifications for
materials and methods.
When the election was over
and the bonds were approved,
several newspapers came out
with editorials saying, in effect,
Now lets all get together and
do all we can TO see that the State
gets good value for its money. \
II does not seem likely that the
average citizen will be able TO
do much 70 insure good honest
road-building Probably not one
man in ten thousand observing
the laying of drain-pipes, or the
putting down Of crushed rock,
or the mixing and spreading OF
concrete has the faintest idea
whether the job IS being done
right or not ; for. TO know that
takes training and experience OF
a specialized character. But If
there are people who think they
can do any good by acting as
volunteer inspectors, let them
70 to ii. Let them leave their
own occupations, 90 sit on banks
by the roadsides, and keep watch
on the contractors construction
gangs. When one Of these watch
ers sees something he thinks is
wrong he can jack up the IN
spector-on-the- job with spoken
protest, or notify the Highway
Commission or the Governor, or
write a letter to the newspaper.
By doing which he will succeed
in nothing but in making him
self a nuisance.
My prediction is that there
will be few if any citizens to at
tempt such gratuitous supervi-
sion, and that if few ardent
souls do start on it they will
soon get tired of it and quit.

Although the keel was laid Mon
day at Newport News. Va, Mr.
Truman professessed not to know
the work was underway.
When it was pointed out to him
that the keel-laying had taken
place, the President said jocularly
that he had not been invited. He
also asked: Are you sure it's been
laid oficially? He added that when
the matter was submitted to him
he would make a decision.

summed up the situation In these
words:
THE affairs of the corporation

and our financial position is

Losses In Several Units.
Several of our units continue
to experience moderate losses. but
that is because we are providing

to look less formidable without
great expense. Otherwise, he will
rent Offices for the time being.
After consultations with NUM-
cipal Court judges. he hopes to
arrange for a staff psychiatrist to
interview prisoners arrested for
drunkenness before they come into
the court room. Then the psychi-
ARTIST could advise the Judge
which prisoners look like good
prospects for the clinic.
Work on Repeaters.
The social drinkers who take
one too many at a party and wind
up in court will be screened out.
So will the habitual drunkards
who have spent most Of the last
dozen years in the workhouse and
have no desire to change their
futile lives.
DR.. Wexberg will concentrate on
