Not only that, | bu€ithey can tell you the color of her hair and her} olf fan's occupation. latest bit of inconsequential, terfifically interesting news, is the controversy be- { tw@en two physicians over the authorship of Jack | Dempsey’s latest nose. It seems that a New York dogtor claims credit for it and a Los Angeles doctor has asked for an injunction to shut him up. Beading farther, you learn that the Los Angeles | physician says Jack’s new horn is at least 25 per cer stronger than the old one, and Jack corroborates ; him, Who cares? you ask. The answer is: very | few. Outside of Dempsey and a few friends, the! man who is chiefly interested in the shock absorbing | quafities of the new proboscis is Gene Tunney, who, | if one of a million or more, lawsuits doesn’t prevent wilengage in a few rounds of fisticuffs with the} champion. The physicians’ interest in the new beak is merely} academic; Tunney’s is something more than that, to say the least. As a matter of fact, the man’s curiosity is inflamed to such a degree that those close to him say he will make numerous attempts to change the position of Jack’s nostrils from a poirit-just above the upper lip to a remote corner of the left eyebrow. We see that Red Grange, having returned from Hollywood with the admission that as a movie star he was a fine open field runner, is named in a divorce suit. It is said that another man’s wife, kissed Red when he wasn’t looking. This goes to show what happens to even the best of halfbacks when they haven’t any interference. Charley Paddock, incensed at an alleged statement, from Red that the movie stars are not what they; are cracked up to be, calls the terror of the gridiron an oil can, being careful to wait until Red is back} home again in Wheaton. Anyway, we'd call any- body any kind of a name we wanted to if we could | Tun as fast as Charley. On top of this, Paddock gets engaged to Bebe Daniels and comes out with a statement explaining just why he went into the movies, and after reading it you care less than you did before and wonder whether Charley studied anything beside ‘ine at the University of Southern California. All this is a lot of nonsense, of course. point is you read it. But the Try something by yourself. Anybody can sing when everybody is singing. } Schoolhouses and Radio Radio ‘as an educational factor in American life is assuming. greater importance daily. We are wonder- ing if the time is far away when the schoolhouse will be a broadcasting station. A professor at Colorado Teachers’ College is con- ducting. a Spanish class which, investigation has shown, has an enrollment of nearly fifteen thousand students, old and young, who tune in on station! KOA, It is~planned in Chicago to broadcast instruction | in a wide variety of high school and college subjects. | Millions, would have access to these lessons. Many thousands, certainly, would take advantage of them. -Kansas City “Agricultural College probably was first to put an actual school on the air. Working in connection with the extension division, legtures were broadcast, questions answered, examinations given and regular credit offered toward a university de- gree. ‘ It looks like the doom of ignorance in the hinter- Jands. i Lots of beauty helps are crazy.

Such a device is being introduced, and, aoe | and therefore! jeanal trade totaled 18,000,000 tons. In the three that is no small amount for a country of that size to be paying.

Belgium is trying to fight, not cry, her way out of it. With one man it is a grudge; with two a griev- ance; with three or more a cause. An Added Hazard The liability to accident during the time when one Longer familiarit: have tended to reduce this liability, but it always exists to some extent. A foot operated device for shifting the gears, therefore, if it proved successful, to motor vehicle experts, is the most important development in thotor vehicle equipment since the introduction of the self starter. There is no doubt | that such a device would increase the ease of driv- ing, but it is in the possible reduction of accidents that it assumes an importance of major proportions. With traffic becoming such a perplexing problem, ! anything that promises even a slight reduction of | the liability to accident of great significance. The first of the month makes every man feel bil- ious. | Musical Situation Reversed John T. Adams, president of the Wolfsohn Musical | Bureau, returning from Europe, comments upon the searcity of fine artists abroad, asserting that the musical situation. there is serious indeed, and that; few of the artists would measure up to the present American standard. “America is very far advanced sauateally- American opera goers demand perfec-' tion,” says Mr. Adams, This would signify that the reversal of the musical | situation that has been heralded for some time has indeed arrived, that the long probation America has served in the ranks is about ended, and that she has come into her heritage of cultural achievement in the realm of good music. If this is the case then it is an occasion for rejoicing that we have thus shaken off the onus of being too crude to be capable of real musical success. The man who blows his own horn is usually out of tune. [- Editorial Comment | Nebraska’s Awakening (Chicago Tribune) Arthur Evans reports from Nebraska that the farmers and merchants are beginning to think realis:' ! tically of their problems. They have discovered that they are 1,500 miles from the sea, farther, there- fore, than any other great agricultural region in the world from the world market. They are beginning {to sense the importance of cheap transportation and! they are thinking of the development of the gulf and great lakes waterways as their Salvation. The Nebraskans have ‘also come to understand that the Panama canal has injured their prosperity. ' They have discovered, Mr. Evans finds, that goods from the far west can be shipped to New York and then overland as far west as Hammond, Ind., in; competition with their all-rail rate to Hammond. They see that their welfare is dependent here, too, upon the development of cheap transport. In the year ending June 30, 1926, shipments through the Panama canal increased 2,000,000 .tons, ‘nearly 10 per cent over the previous year.

Nebraskans observe that the advantage which the) canal confers has resulted in the movement. of in- dustry and trade to the seaboard. Iridustry: and trade mean population. Thus the Nebraskans find ithemselves farther from the mouths they feed in this country as well as abroad. The realization of the causes of Nebraska’s ait ficulties ought to lead to their solutioh.' Nebraska should now understand that all the socialistic oratory of the Norrises in congress gets nowhere in solving the problems of the middle west. Nebraska’s senators, both voted for the Gooding bill, which was intended to rivet ruinous Panama canal competition on Nebraska and the rest of the middle west. As long as that kind of representation | speaks in congress for Nebraska, Nebrashant need hope for no improvement. Querulous Visitors (St. Paul Dispatch) A party of tourists from England, which arrived {at Ellis island third clases, announces that it will protest to the British authorities over the medica] examination to which its members were subjected. They were required to strip to the waist and were asked “insulting questions.” There might be ground for complaint if the latter allegation were true; but it is probable that the questions put to them were no ‘more insulting than a medical examiner puts to an applicant for life insurance. As for having to strip to the waist, American. doctors are not so tioners who decide infallibly what a woman is suf- fering from by examining her hand’ thrust, through a hole in the door. The object of the medical examination at Ellis island is to protect this country against disease im- ported from abroad.
