This gigantic tower is a monument to the peculiar phenomenon that has con- gested people into cities much in the swarming spirit of bees. Man is fundamentally an individual. He began that way. Time hasn’t changed him, on the average, except in his sociological day-dreams. Men congregated together, formed communities, primarily for mutual protection against enemy beasts and enemy tribesmen. Men congregated perpetuated itself. Men found it best to be near each other for exchange of individual products. This ' tendency increased with specialization—which is the correct word for what is usually improperly called our “civilization.” Genuine civilization is spiritual, not material, DETROIT A DREAM COLLEGE Kresge Bldg. (Columbus, Ohio, State Journal) The plan for a college to be con- ducted by Dr. Alexander Meikle- john, former president of Amherst, | according to his own advanced! ideas, has admittedly not yet pro- ceeded beyond a visionary state. Even if such an institution is es- tablished it is doubtful if it will] succeed in realizing the ideals of Dr. Meiklejohn, admirable as these | are, | In his address on “The College of Tomorrow,” Dr. Meiklejohn has | outlined the college of his Utopia. ; The basis of it will be freedom of thought. In place of lecturing to students, geese with chestnuts,” as President Lowell has characterized the per- sonal system, students will be taught to go to the sources of knowledge and thence to form their {own opinions. It is a fine ideal, although not radically new. Many ‘great teachers in colleges long ex- | istent have spent their lives en- deavoring to teach students to do that identical thing, and occasion- ally they succeeded. he danger is that even in the free, dream college, unshackled by trustees, some particular phase of thought may be mistaken for free thought, and impcsed upon the stu- dents yrannically as ideas are now supposed to be foisted, upon them. Research that is wholly free and untrammeled by _ these needs a rare combination of pro- fessor and student such as is sel- | dom found in an undergraduate body. However, Dr. Meikeljohn’s plan cr any other that aims to encour- Wilt THese BEAUTIFUL There’s talk of Chicago eventually being the world’s largest city, stretching out to include Milwaukee, with a” total of 50 millions population. A turn of the tide—an exodus back to nature—is looming as a possible result of airplanes. People will be able to live far out and fly hundreds of miles to work in cities reduced to collections of factories, shops and theaters. on Boy! 1 BEEN WATCHIN’ This BABY ALL , SUMMER a ‘ Radio will help a lot in breaking up the big cities. Soci- ologists already notice that radio is “diminishing crowds.” H. Addington Bruce, psychologist, puts it this way: __, “Through the wizardry of radio, recreations are brought into the home and the best of music, lectures, public ad- dresses and sports may be enjoyed without the discomforts of crowds and crowding in public places.” Radio entertainment as we have it now is, of course, crude and infantile compared with its destined future. Radio movies will come. So will television, by which you’ll sit in your home and on a small screen or in a lens see such events as airplane flights, presidential inaugurations, scien- tific wonders, travel tours, sports and other events that for- merly have necessitated travel. Man will not become a hermit. But his swarming in crowds already has begun to wane as \ NORTH DAKOTA’S WHITE ELEPHANT Fach additional financial report of the North Dakota mill and elevator at Grand Forks emphasizes the failure of the project and the futility of continuing its operation unti! the state has sunk millions of dollars in it. After a year and a half of operation, the mill loses over $300,000 in one six-months period in a vain attempt to manufacture and sell flour at a profit. The total loss of $635,000, in two years, is an indication of how great a burden on the taxpayers this institution may become. It is admitted that the mill has not lowered the cost of flour in North Dakota. Indeed, the accountant complains int Marth Dokota people pay a higher price for state mill flour than do people outside the state. The mill manage- fied by the task of breaking into markets against ‘competitors who have built up their mills from small s, has offered the fine flour it makes at low prices. it has not succeeded in capturing markets nt where it can show a profit. «also built a great elevator at Grand Forks, to place where farmers might store their grain.

The young folks are gathering for a wiener roast, that is all. Approach, you members of the older generation, but don’t make too much noise, or you may break the charm. The high gay laughter of boys and girls in their teens — could anything be lovelier, these Indian Summer nights? \ There is a great deal of laughter, some shyness, and an immense consumption of sausages and hot coffee. The bo: of this day know how to make a fire, too. They are grad- uate Boy Scouts, most of them, and not ashamed to exhibit their craft before a feminine audience. | One of the best things about a wiener roast is that the! fire doesn’t give much light. So after appetities have been appeased, the youngsters sit about, and stroll about in the semi-darkness, and into their healthy, happy minds and souls come the same thoughts and impulses that have moved young folk in all the countries. : It is a perfect picture—the drifting smoke, the wavering fire, the couples quietly pairing off, the occasional peal of Jaguhter, the crescent hravest moon overhead. Well, well, Boys and girls! The same old story! HARVEST HOME DAYS : i To a few the approach of the fall season is a signal for! indulgence in thoughts sad and melancholy. Summer with its sunshine and vacation has passed and the long winter is just ahead. There is another group, however—and a very large one—which is able to see in the autumn haze and changing leaves much that is wholesome and uplifting. In scores of communities throughout the land these are the days of garnering in the fruits of the summer’s toil. Ministers take advantage of the occasion for harvest home ser s. The young and buoyant look forward to Hallowe’en, while father and mother perhaps dwell upon the approach of Thanksgiving, when sons, daughters and grandchildren will again sit about the old homestead’s hospitable board, revel- ing alike in good food and fond memory. City folk are far from unappreciative of vari-hued autumn but it is perhaps in the country and typical county seat towns that the season has its greatest meaning. Through- out New England and the Middle states the early fall her- alds the coming of the county fair and the firemen’s car- nival, to say nothing of football and the opening of the hunt- ing season. It is in the fall that thoughts turn from the lighter sum- met pleasures to the more serious pursuits. Schools reopen and new interest is taken in church work, while cooler even- ings and cozy firesides conspire with our favorite authors to renew the reading routine we so hastily dropped when warm sunshine, the spading fork and the lawn mower beck- oned to us last spring.

The goal of brain training should be to develop a sense of values for determining the importance of things and situations in relation to others. Values are relative. USEFUL GIFTS Here is one of the rarest combinations—philanthropy and old-fashioned horse sense. Dr. Becker, wealthy New York optician, will furnish eye- glasses free of charge to every school child in his city who needs byt cannot afford them. He figures it will cost him $20,000. It will do more real good than 20 millions spent for economic investigation and similar bromidic “charity work.” SPECULATING ON MARS All indications point to existence of animal and vegetable life on Mars, says Prof. Phillip Fox of Northwestern Univer- sity.

Instantly she faded from view. No one could see her any more than I} can see China at this minute. Nancy, where are you?” Nick. “Pm right cried here,” said vo! “What's wrong with ave you gone blind?” “I don’t know, but I can’t see you,” said Nick. “I know what it is.

So she divided the cloak into three pieces, she and Nick each taking a piece with a pocket. Then the Sand Man filled the pockets with magic sleepy sand out of his sack and everything was ready. The moon was just over the top of the meeting-house steeple when the three workers started off over the house tops to put the babies to sleep. By the time the moon was over the weather-cock on the barn, the whole world was quiet “Achoo!” went the Sand Man. “I do believe my hay-fever is coming ' back.” cried nybody.” you, yourself?" ted to know. ill have on the pieces of the’ in ble cloak!’ laughed Nancy. ‘We must take them off.” Nancy. “I can't see “Where ure Sand Man w. the So they did and there they were, | all three of them! “We'll get the invisi and give it to the Sand Man, Nancy. “It will keep him catching cold, too.” ne!” cried Nick. rd at once.” ik fixed ” said So they we Green Wizard lived and woke him up out of a sound sleep. “Certainly, I'l fix ai kind old fellow. “Anything to oblige | a friend,” So he said: “One-ery, two-ery, three-ery, four, thought is dis- | shoes and we! “It’s the will take a piece and when we have a myself,” said the Sand Man. “I'm pretty smart about not being seen, but when my hay-fever comes from We'll go to to the tree where the | Le = TET Invisible cloak, be whole once more.” Instantly the cloak was mended, “Thank you,” said the Sand Man, putting it on. “Good night, Twins, jand thank you for helping me. ‘must get to my home at the end of ithe earth and sleep till tomorrow inight.

Women would be safer behind a steering wheel if you could tell what they were driving at. Our expert opinion is that the man who calls sweat perspiration doesn’t know much about it.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES- COTT TO RUTH BURKE, CONTINUED Convulsively I threw my arms around John’s neck, as there came to me the thought of that certain day when there must be separation between us. “Every day I shall pray,” I said, \“that death shall take me first.” “Leslie, Leslie, you must not give way like this, dear, you will make yourself sick.” “But it is so cruel to separate those two people. I cannot, even now when we have been such a short time together, contemplate a life without you. Think how much more tragic it is for mother, of whose life dad had become an in- tegral part.” John drew me closer in a way which told me that he, too, could not think of life without me. It was a moment, I think, when all (false pride left both of us—a mo- which we knew how de-| ment in pendent we were upon each other. “What, then, will it mean to us in the future, dear?” I asked, “when you have grown more necessary to me than now? I could not bear it --I know I could not.” “Yes, yes, you could, my girl, for you éan bear what all widows of the world before you have borne. But you must not think of that: now, dear heart. We have years and years together, and we must plan all the good times possible, and we must bring that dear mother of yours into them as far as she will come, and we must love to the utter- most and live all there is to live in every 24 hours, so that when the time comes when the hours can no more be counted together, we can say to death: ‘The joy I have had, you cannot take from me.’ “Lestie, dear, let's have no more misunderstandings.” 'VERETT TRUE The Tangle : Gently I put my hand over his mouth. I did not want him to abase himself. I wanted all our quarrel- ings and bickerings to be put out of our lives and the grave closed and sealed. I wonder if some day there will’ come a time whén I will remember this conversation? I guess I am too greedy of happiness, too wishful of joy. That is the reason I am afraid of what time will bring to me. I presume I want John to be a superman—and I am far from being a superwoman, I was brought out of reverie by John’s saying: “Dearest, I hate to leave you, but we must telegraph to Alice and Karl.” By the very way he re- peated Karl’s name I knew that as my sad far as he was concerned, all was | to be a sealed book in the future. “I am also going to telegraph to Sydney Carton, if you don’t mind. We've always been such great friends, and I, too, feel the need of someone to counsel with just at this time. “Your father, Leslie, has placed a great responsibility ‘upon me, and he has asked me to share it with no one, not even Karl. “He has asked you to take charge of the business?” I asked quickly. “Yes, dear.” Before he could tell me morg, he was called away. You can see, dear, this is going to make a great change in all our lives. I will write you some more when it is all over. Lovingly, LESLIE. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

Trees and bushes had been touch- ed with gold and crimson. Green pastures sparkled in the sun. Before him seven ranges of hills rolled away, one over the other, into infinity. He stood there, silent, enraptured, for quite a long moment and then turned to his companion. “Is that nature?” he asked. “Is what nature?” “All that,” he answered, and made a vague gesture toward the vista before him. “What do you mean, is what na- ture?” his uncomprehending com- panion answered. “] mean—do things just grow that way? Or have the people who live here fixed up things like that?” Now, if all those questions had been asked facetiously there would have been little point to recording them here. But they were asked seriously. It was the first time that the inquisi- tive man had ever seen trees and stood at upstate Give your feet a chance and they'll carry you a long way! That was what Mr. Jones’ physical director used to say in advising foot exercises. Many persons think of exercising pretty nearly all the rest of the body but neglect the feet. This is particularly applicable to women. Now so common a thing as toeing in or toeing out affects the muscles of the feet and the trunk muscles as well. And to correct the general posture it is necessary to begin from MANDAN NEWS BOY MAY RECOVER Attending physicians of Victor Huncovsky, whose skull was fractur- ed last Sunday when ‘he was struck on the head with a tire pump in the hands of James Stack, today declar- ed the youth had excellent chances of recovery although he will probably: be partially paralyzed. Huncovsky lost probably two ounces of brain tissue as the result of the injury which required unusual means on the part of surgeons to remove shatter- ed bone splinters from. the brain, As a result he is partially paralyzed on the right side, having difficulty us- ing his arms, fingers and leg, and his speech is affected. Despite this his general condition is excellent and ne is expected to live.

Following a wedding dinner at the Allen home in this city, Mr. and Mrs. Swanson left by automobile for a honeymoon trip of ten days or more to the twin cities and various points in Wiscon- sin.

Crowds usually have other natural things growing any place except in the parks of New York City. This man is thirty. He holds ay responsible position in one of New York’s banking institutions. He has had a fair education. His knowledge in some fields is unlimited. Yet he didn’t know a pine from an oak, wheat from timothy, a hen from a rooster. He thought that all the lakes in the hills were artificial res- ervoirs dammed up by the country hotel-keepers to create summer re- sorts. There is no exaggeration in any of this. There may not be many more in- habitants of New York City so colos- sally ignorant of the wonders of life as this man, but there are thou-” sands here who know less of natural things than a country boy of six. And those thousands think that beyond the Hudson river lies a vast territory inhabited by primitive peo- ple, a territory without which the United States could very well get along.

Being pre- sent at this concert as well as all they have given I wonder if this City realizes what a wonderful op- portunity they have to build and have a good band. Looking over the audience on this night it does not look so for only 275 people of this large city greeted them, it is a shame —not only a shame it is a disgrace. Do the citizens think that is any encouragement for a leader or for/ the boys and girls that are trying to make something that Bismarck can be proud of? I should say not. Come on Bismarck, Wake up, Show that we appreciate their efforts and at th. next concert fill the house so ‘they have to hang the S. R. O. sign out. You can-do. it if you only will and make this Band the talk of the west. Then hear.people say, “Just look at the Kid Band Bismarck has, it is one of the most valuable assets and ad- vertisements that any City can have.” One of the Old Band. ° | People’s Forum — ° _For Sale — Choice Canarie Singers, Imported German” Rollers.
