No youngster of 17 could have gone | Si through a test like that had his body not been in| perfect condition. No lad who was accustomed to i hip ftaské.and cigarets and late hours’ could have carried off that $25,000. But somehow we have a notion Young failed to! name the chief item in the list of things responsible ; for his success—a cast-iron determination to suc- ceed that wouldn’t give up under any circumstances. It’s a fine thing to have a well-conditioned body c that will do exactly what you ask it to, But even ? more important is having a will, a determination, ti to”see through whatever you undertake; to grit : your teeth and plod along without thinking of sur- 7; _ vender. : Determination | Young wouldn’t even have reached Los Angeles in £. ; the first place if he had lacked that. He ran out G © of funds in Chicago, remember, and borrowed $60 from none other than William Wrigley, promoter : of the swim, to complete his journey. Then he} went broke again, a little farther west, and actu-| a tally covered the last third of his journey afoot and f ic in’ the autos of chance tourists. 7 “And his capital, when the day of the swim dawned, ‘was a few cents. He had to win that $25,000 to get meal. He couldn’t fail—and he knew it. E Surely, every entrant in the big marathon wanted to win, and wanted it badly. But Young, if we're E not mistaken, had that quality of gritty, bulldog tk dgtermination in just a little greater degree than E any of them. He compelled his tired, racked body to continue when he was twice struck by painful, crippling cramps; he compelled himself to keep struggling when an adverse current swept him out to sea after he had nearly reached his goal; he com- pelled himself to keep eternally plugging along when the entangling, slimy kelp barred his path : ‘time-after time. And so, where the others had to admit defeat, ei Young won. si “Clean living” undoubtedly helped. No man ¥ could do what Young did if he was anything but a 4 t¢ ¢lean living man. ie But more important, to our notion, was his de- © termination to swim that nasty bit of Pacific ocean a R in spite of anything that could happen. ha R In winning he has taught us all a valuable lesson. tl 2s sn renee i * A Grim Job For Science p * “How it got here no one knows. It came from i £ Europe, and 1917 is given as the date of its appear- k ance. Its visit is costing the United States mil- ¥ lions of dollars. It is the European corn borer. ue “SA farmer down in the Illinois corn belt was look- i te ing around in his fields one day when he discovered i ‘“® ‘tiny brown worm. He took it to the Kankakee. } county farm bureau. The adviser told him it was i SX the corn borer and gave the news to the world. f 4 The borer showed ‘up mysteriously in Massachu- 4 uw setts in 1917. It has multiplied and spread until fi it now its domain is a region of 100,000 miles, It has : x» moved in all directions with the corn. If conditions q ~ are to its liking it can destroy an entire crop of i , corn, 3 In western New York many sweet corn growers lost their crops for the last two seasons; others took losses of 50 per cent. Now, with Indiana and Tli- | nois menaced, serious possibilities lie just ahead for | the national corn crop. | In the central states corn belt the annual produc- tion of corn runs to two and three billions of dol- lars. If the borer gets to playing with this crop, t£ food prices may go to unheard of figures. “ Experts have racked their brains. hi gpptopriated $10,000,000 to war on the pest.

There has even been some dis- 4 cussion of establishing nation-wide cornless zones , to fight the worm somewhat after the way rangers f :@ forest fire. = b} I, ‘ grim siege goes on. Here is an enemy no bigger than a man’s little finger, and ‘it is eating the cash right out of his wallet, but he can’t pin it down. Science must find the way.

But we deem this just a step toward the organization of better and bigger fire depart |ments. We think every fire house should have an _| advertising department. Before going to a fire the | advertising department should look around and see if the fire is really worth a first-class fireman’s attention. There are so many small fires, you know, like cows kicking over lanterns in barns and the like, that a fireman hardly can get a stick of | type cut of.

But this wind need not continue at that rate steadily, for about five hours’ charging every two or three days is, as a rule, all that is required. In experiments made in parts of Nebraska it was found that periods of three or more days when the: wind was less than ten miles an ‘hour were rare. They came usually toward the end of summer. For- tunately, during the winter months when lights are most needed, the air currents are most trutsworthy. No figures have yet been published concerning com: parative costs of home-made and of. “boughten” ! electricity. Presumably the home power planc would be of use only in districts remote from a main power line. But of these there must be thou- sands, with wind enough to make them “lit up” in- definitely. Some Middle Western Laws (New York Times) All the busy little legislators, conscientiously do- ing their best to earn their salaries, are coming in for reprcof from some of the great intellects of the country. This must be unpleasantly surprising to the public-spirited statesmen whose brains creak in the effort to devise more laws. But they see their duty, plain as a pikestaff, and it is a dull day that does not witness a brand new bill introduced into one legislature or another by some overworked imagina- tion. The latest repcerts put Ohio, Oklahoma and In- diana at the head of the competition for the most, fantastic proposals. Last week a bill providing for compulsory education in barbering for would-be bar- bers was introduced by Mr. Marshall of Cincinnati. He is, in addition to being a representative cf the popular will, secretary-treasurer of the International Union Journeyman Horseshers of the United States and Canada. The measure he proposes prescribes a rigorous course of study, to last not less than six months and to include 1,000 hours of classroom and “lab” work. Candidates for a diploma must be graduates of the grade schools, and will spend their thousand hours in study of these subjects: Scientific fundamentals for barbering, hygiene, bacteriology, histology of the hair, skin, nails, mus- cles and nerves; structure of the head, face and neck; elementary chemistry relating to sterilization | and antiseptics; diseases of the skin, hair, glands and nails; massaging and manipulating the muscles of the upper body; hair cutting, shaving, and ar- SARENNE: dressing, coloring and bleaching the ir. To prevent any. mistake in the legal meaning of barber, an outline of his functions is included. Shaving or trimming the beard, cutting, singeing, shampooing or dyeing the hair, applying any sort of treatment to beautify the face and removing any ishes, from the scalp, face, neck or upper part of the body,” are all. part of his profession. Nurses and doctors are specifically fcrbidden to trim ‘or shave a patient “for. cosmetic purposes.” An Ohio paper says that there were chuckles from Mr. Mar- shall’s colleagues when he presented his bill. They must be a remarkably polite and restrained com- pany of gentlemen. Shouts and guffaws might have been expected.
