They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford university, broaches a topic of profound interest to educa- tors and others in a letter in which he pleads for more male teachers in the schools. The subject has given concern to careful observers for a good while. If it is true, as some cri- tics have asserted, that the boys of the present generation lack some of the spirit of selfreliance, and initia- tive, and firmness, that they mature a good deal more slowly than youths.

THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) THE RUST MENACE Each year the nerves of those watching a wheat crop mature in the Northwest are racked by the menace of rust. An excellent crop, the result of careful selection of seed, good farming and splendid weather conditions, may be vir- tually ruined by black stem rust in a short time. Surely, if the Northwest continues to raise wheat every effort of farmer and scientist should be bent toward combatting this annual menace. A North Dakota “Luther Burbank,” John Briski, in the southwestern part of the state is declared to have developed a wheat that will ripen ten to twelve days ahead of present varieties, accomplishing this by selection over a number of years. If true, he has made an immense contribution to agricultural life in the Northwest. Early and careful plant- ing this year has proved its worth to the farmer, in enabling wheat to mature before rust comes. But the rust problem itself constitutes the greatest ob- jective. Scientists of the United States Department of Ag- riculture have worked on this problem for many years, They have become convinced that rust spores are spread through the medium of the common barberry bush, on which they thrive. Millions of dollars have been spent in the campaign to eliminate the barberry bush. 3 D. G. Fletcher, in an interview printed elsewhere in this . issue, tells of the course of the rust spore. Europe, he says, first proved that elimination of the barberry would eliminate black rust. In Europe some hundreds of years ago it was the scientist who first said there was nothing to this theory, and it was the European farmer who said the barberry was at fault. The situation has been somewhat reversed in this country. Various tests made ought to establish beyond a + reasonable doubt that. there is a vital connection between the barberry bush and black rust. Mr. Wallace believes that one reason rust-is later in the Northwest than usual is : because so many common barberry bushes have been de- Stroyed in the campaign. The rust spores come in with = the wind from states farther south and reach North Dakota jduter than usual. li profits no one interested in agriculture in the North- » i to scoff at any theory of the black rust menace or 1:¢4:8 of ridding the Northwest of it. Whole-hearted co- coeration in the elimination of it is one of the foremost * duties of the Northwest. 7.20 5.00 THE CAWS OF A CROW You can’t blame the crow for not being white under all the circumstances. He has been exploited as an unpalatable political dish so long that it is really no wonder he argues that, since he is traditionally bad, he may well be so in fact. Mrs. Kuni Schlott keeps a rooming house on New York’s west side, and, being up to date, she has installed a radio set for the edification of herself and guests. Next door, Miss Virginia Pope maintains a bird hospital, one inmate of which is a brunette crow. Mrs. Schlott’s radio worked assiduously during the Democratic national conven- tion. So did Miss Pope’s crow. Every time the radio raucously revealed, as a starter, that “Allah-balm-muh casts twenty-foh votes for Undah- wood’’—some 5000 times first and last, and extending over a period of weeks"the crow would stretch its somber neck and wreck the air with a “Haw-haw-haw! Caw-caw-caw.” Mrs. Schlott’s indignation progressed to snapped nerves, but the crow continued to revel in derision of his probable and prospective political traducers. So he was summoned to court with Miss Pope. The court, however, at once recognized that exclamatory utter- ances are a crow’s by divine right and no written statute may abridge them. In_ addition, the matter of justification intruded itself foreefully in behalf of the accused bird, and, at this point, Mies Pope believed she had Mrs. Schlott eating crow. But only for a moment. The court added that it would be advisable to hold the cas> open and inquire further—harboring a crow in a city m‘ght be unhealthy, he opined. Then it was Mrs. Schlott’s turn to crow, tentatively. So the case pends. , Meantime, black days for the crow, who must wait with little expectation of that justice that always has been denied his kind.

F FLYING An airplane in France stays in the air 38 hours without ‘oming down to earth. Unlike most air stunts, this is im-| jortant. It demonstrates that flying is getting safer. Pop-| lar reluctance at going up in a plane is due to fear of fall-| ig. As goon as a flier ‘stays aloft a, week it’lt be time to vert’se for buyers of flying fliyvers. ‘ ne industry is obsessed with. ac did in the earlier times, it is worth while to inquire whether this may not be due in some measure to the feminizing of education in the com- mon schools, There is nothing to be said in dis- paragement of the school mistress in this association. The issue of wo- man’s right to enter every profession has been settled by the course of events, woman's ability is ‘conceded, acceptance of her status is a fait ac- compli, the relative intellectual ca- pacity of the sexes has no place in the present discussion. But all that can be said in praise of the woman teacher leaves open the question whether boys are not additionally benefited by coztacts with men, par- ticularly in the adoleseent years. There is almost no difference of opin- ion among educators on this heading. It is generally contended that they are. The education, as distinguished from’ the formal schooling, of the boys of the past has been marked by contacts with their elders of the same sex in degree that is hardly possible under the new order. Dr, Wilbur points out that “the age of invention, power and economic organization is cheating the boy and girl out of the training formerly possible.” The well known inclination of many parents to shift the burden to the shoulders of the teacher may be mentioned in this connection because it stands out in contrast to the practise of a former, if not a better, period. Boys did have a great deal of training from their fathers when we were primarily an agricultural people, when crafts were learned in the shop and handed down from father to son. “Whether it was woodcutting, currying a horse, or other chores, men were the in- structors and set the requirements.” It can be stated with confidence that men on the whole knew what to ex- pect of a boy, that they were pecu- liarly guided by. experience, and that even if a certain sternness crept into the relationship it made for develop- ment of the quality of manhood in its best sense. This need is empha- sized by Dr, Wilbur, who says: The impulse of the material in- stinct is a wonderful thing, and the effect of women upon boys and girls is idealistic and stimulating. Never- theless the more unforgiving attitude of the man is needed. The mental approach toward participating citi- zenship can come better from the right man. No movement away from co-educa- tion is proposed. There is no reason for separating girls and boys in the schools, with teachers of correspond- ing sexes for each. There is indeed a disposition to concede that there might well be a preponderance of wo- men teachers, although not to the ex- tent which now prevails. The point is that something of added value was lost, something not closely related to the informational aspect of early education, that involves the impon- derables of character training and habit forming by example, and the development of instincts which do not easily lend themselves to defini- tion and formula, when the school- master practically disappeared ‘from the primary grades. This is the basis of the effect to bring men into the teachers’ colleges—an effort so complicated by economic and social consideration that none may prophesy the result.—Portland Oregonian, COLORS IN TOBACCO SMOKE Tobacco, when smoked, releases a certain amount of selfconsumed pro- duct in the form of smoke. With very good tobacco, either as .cigar, cigarette, or in a pipe, the particles of this smoke are inconceivably tiny and therefore they catch only the shorter wave lengths of light. These wave lengths are blue, so it follows that the smoke of a good cigar, as seen in bright light, reflects a bluish color. Cigar smoke, when seen between the eye and the sun, no longer re- flects, but shows in its true color as a sort of dark brown. is taken into the mouth it cools, and the little particles join into larger ones, so that they no longer catch the blue waves only but the whole light, and“so appear white or color- less.

ADVENTURE OF ' THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The next place ‘the Twins’ went with Weeny, the elephant, on his vacation was to Mrs, Camel’s ‘house. Mrs. Camel lived in a green spot in the desert under a date tree. “Hello, Mrs, (Camel,” c'rlie Weeny good naturedly trotting right up. to where she was. “Company’s come.” “So I see,” said’ Mrs. Camel, eye- ing Nancy and Nick and Weeny as though she wasn't ‘tickled to death about it. Next she looked at the size-of their satchel to see how long they were going to stay. It was a pretty good sized satchel -she thought so they must be going to stay a long time. “I'm cleaning house,” kind of shortly. “Oh, ho! You are, are you!” said she said Weeny. “That's fine! We can help like everything, can’t we, Nancy and: Nick. I’m a fine squirter and iI can scrub your porches and water the garden and everything!” “Besides I have no guest room,” went on Mrs. Camel not paying any attention, and mind you, she didn’t even say, “I’m very sorry, but—” “The -very thing!” cried. Weeny. “We do love fresh air, don’t we, children! We can sleep under the tree and count the dates and smell the stars, I mean, smell the dates and count the stars.” “Sure we can,” said Nick. like that.” “The baby has the measles,” went on Mrs, Camel as though that end- ed it. “Then I can help you to him,” said Nancy eagerly. “He's got the mumps, too!” said Mrs. Camel, “and it’s Very catching. “And the chicken-pox and the whooping-cough and we think he’s getting rosiola, too! That’s three- day measles.” “Oh, dear,” said Nancy. “That's too bad! I don’t see how you can nurse him and clean house, too.” “I can’t,” said Mrs. Camel. “And have company besides!” After that nobody could think of another word to say, and it did seem as though the travelers would have to be going along to the next place. But Weeny finally thought of something. The desert sand had been hot on his feet and the nice green grass was cool and comforting to stand on, The longer he talked the better his feet felt. “Would you mind giving us a drink, Mrs. Camel?” he asked. “We're pretty thirsty!” But he couldn’t have said a worse “ra nurse “Drink!” cried Mrs. Camel. “As though we haa enough drink for ourselves. And I lived in a circus long enough to know how much wa- ter elephants take, Why, I wouldn’t) have enough water to cook or wasli with for two weeks, sir, if you were to fill yourself up. Water’s scarce hereabouts. This is the only water hole for 60 miles.” “Why, the books all say camels can go without water days and days,” said Nancy. that for “Books!” exclaimed Mrs. Camel in surprise. “Is my name in a book?” “Yes, it is,” said Nancy. “Didn't you know?” “Never knéw a word about it,” said Mrs. Camel in a pleased voice. “Isn’t that lovely, though!” And I think it says that camels like to have company,” urged Weeny. _ : : “Then do stay,” smiled. Mrs. Camel. “Stay as long as ever ‘you can. The baby’s been sick, but he’s over. at his -grandme’s, and the house-cleaning, it can wait. And-to show how much she meant it, she took the satchel into the house herself. j + (To Be Continued) (Copydight, 1924, NEA Service, Inc,) ‘forty Egypt’s wheat production will fal}! off about 3,000,000 bushels from last : see s Says You know how big a cinder in your eye feels?

We'd be |the policeman walking the beat with a big stick-to keep { order. | Nietzsche had a similar idea and sold it to the Germans. The direct result was the World War. Nietzsche in effect told the Germans. ‘There can never be lasting world peace as long as there are powerful rival nations with opposing interests. The most powerful, just and deserving nation (the Super-State) should arm itself {until by conquest it would bé able to conquer the rest of the world and put: all nations under one flag. wouldn’t be any rival left. Hence—lasting peace.” Sounds logical, doesn’t it? The Prussians thought so. Their leaders followed the Nietzschean philosophy. Many Germans claim, and sincerely, that Germany really built her great war machine to keep world peace—that she had no original intention of going the limit with Nietzsche’s idea of trying to put the whole world under one flag. But as soon as a nation gets a powerful military organ- ization, she’s tempted to use it. Confident of her power, she “takes lip” from nobody. Like pistol- toting by the indi- pana at incline# him to chip-on-the-shoulder mental at- titude. This was true of Germany. It is true of all nations. . Henry Ford is a patriot. Quite naturally, he believes that his country, America, is more just and noble and altru- istic than any other nation—in fact, that we are the only people who can be trusted with super-military power. The rest of the world doesn’t think so. Every other country has same notion about itself. It’s a natural product of we fetish called patriotism, is this holier-than-thou at- titude. Until nations get rid of this attitude that “I’m the only fair and honest gent in the crowd,” there can be no interna- ‘tional brotherhood. A police system must be by mutual agreement, not by self-appointment. Then there / New York, Aug. 7—Man never is satisfied with the things at his disposal.

They wanted beer.

He is working in a factory in your town. Tell him that the chickens won't lay since he left. I’ve tried having near- ly everybody -in town feed them, but they won’t eat. If he knew this he’d come home.” The letter, written by a woman in Norfolk, Va., was received by a postmistress, who is doing every- thing to find the husband. “Qne—two—three—four” was the Cautiously they advanced to the living room, whence the sound came.
