They surely see their son once in a while, and have a little influence over him. ‘The educators are mighty smart people, of course, but all the brains in the world are not concentrated in a college chair. There is temptation in this country for scho'- ars to become just a wee bit autocratic. We hope they put the devil behind them. This Judge Has Mercy Grandma and Grandpa Hancy came to court in Cleveland the other day, praying a divorce. | After forty-four years of married life, years in which they had seen their offspring bring |into the world a third generation, things had gone fearfully wrong with Grandma and Grand- pa Hancy and they wanted to walk the rest of| the trail apart. | Grandfather Hancy had not provided for her adequately, and he used rough language and nagged her, Grandma complained. Grandpa countered with the charge that Grandma re-| fused to get his meals, that she went out nights without saying where she was going and that} she once threatened him with a butcher knife. We know judges who would have heard the! evidence, pondered it and perhaps granted the) old couple a divorce. We know judges whose | balance between tragedy and humor isn’t one bit better than that. But this judge hap- {pened to have what many lack—a sense of kindly humor and a quick feeling of sympathy.) He called an extra session of court and called in the Hancys—all ,of them—Grandma and Grandpa and the nine children they reared on Grandpa’s meager wage. | It is this city’s privilege to be host to the! troops who are garrisoning Fort Lincoln, not only today and tomorrow, but for as long a} time as they may he stationed here, and Bis-| marck assures the soldiers that its citizens) want to do anything within their power to make their stay here pleasant and enjoyable. , military post filled with memories of! ic deeds, the soldiers have come. Just a few miles away from the post, at old Fort Lin- coln, Custer took his departure for the Black} Hills, where he discovered the gold that) brought an influx of settlers into southern Da- kota territory. A few years later, it was at} Fort Lincoln that Custer and his command} bravely started out on that long journey from) which they never returned—to the Little Big Horn country of Montana. On the site of the present post, General Sib- ley fought one of his major battles against the Sioux in the ’60s. There it was that the first settlers set up their homes and the first impor-| tant settlement between Montana and the Red River valley was started. The history of Bismarck and the Missouri Slope country are entwined with the history of Fort Lincoln. Before the settlers came, the army was here, and the soldiers saw Bismarck grow from a straggling town on the frontier to the metropolitan center of the Missouri Slope. Bismarck knows the Bere history of the Fourth Infantry and admires it for its splendid record, extending from 1811 to the present time. It knows that wherever important en- gagements have been fought, the Fourth In- fantry has been present and has acquitted it- self with honor and glory. So it is the present task of Bismarck to wel- come the soldiers here. But the welcome will not be ended in a day or two. Instead, it will always be present. There will always be . feeling of kindliness and a spirit of coopera- ‘ion. Bismarck is at your service, soldiers of the Third Battalion! Life Isn’t Any Worry to Him Near Poplar Bluff, Mo., lives Uncle Ben Hodge. The other day he celebrated his 112th birthday without pomp and ceremony, but with the simple announcement that he was 112. Uncle Ben has neighbors who will not believe he is that old. With these Uncle Ben has no uarrel—let each man think what he wishes. Incle Ben, complacent, alone, honest and hap- py, knows how old he is, and that’s that. If the rest of the world claims Uncle Ben isn’t 112 and Ben says he is, well, Ben wins, Uncle Ben is a remarkable man. When re- porters asked him for a recipe of long life he replied that he hadn’t any. He has lived past the century mark actually without any pur- pose in reaching it. He'll tell you himself he “didn’t aim to be 100.” This man has no fear of death. For him it will simply be “the end of the game,” as he says, and there'll be no more fuss about that than there was about his 112th birthday. Death is a matter simply beyond his control, and that is the way he has looked at life, too, without fear, without worry. It was reported once that Uncle Ben was heir to a fortune somewhere in England. Well, maybe so. It didn’t bother Uncle Ben, not even when the reports came thick and fast and peo- ple “wondered why that old man didn’t go and claim all that money.” If th» fortune is there, it can stay there, for all of Uncle Ben. He'll stay here. He'll stay right here in these beau- tiful woods that have given him life, full and ripe beyond the average measure that human- kind enjoys. He’ll live his life, and you go on and live yours. Uncle Ben has learned how to grow very, very old and be happy. Let the Parents Speak Now comes to bat a prominent eastern edu- cator with a suggestion that the matter of de- ciding whether or not a young high school uate should go to college be put into the of high school principals. If the boy ean get the principal’s approval for further schooling, then let him continue; otherwise, 4 hand him a shovel. Our respect for the business of education is great, but we fear that the professor here has years, what with nurses, play super- matro: vernesses, coaches, teach- others ing up the young man’s time his game. and welfare “supervisors,” {t just as far as the law allows. s, are yy even peer into the home to find out just te 9 en and young woman live : a parents in the world sud- themeelves in the co and bade its merry way without them? the parents have the required They’ve both put up with a lot—Grandma| and Grandpa. There have been days, we'll bet, when that old man was so crochety that a den of tigers would have fled from him. We don’t doubt a bit, either, that Grandma had her lit- tle moments of fire. Maybe she did tell the) old fellow that she’d slap him with a butcher knife if he didn’t mind his business and quit shouting at her. There are times when pride wells right up} and won’t let us go on. That's all it is after all—pride, our refusal to bend a little, our un- willingness to let anyone else “get the better of us.” Probably both Grandma and Grandpa swal-| lowed their pride so often that they finally re- belled at the diet. It got too-steady. Why! so easy to get a divorce? So off to court. With all the children there in that quiet lit-| tle room, and the judge, however, their pride didn’t seem so much after all. The little trou- bles that brought them there seemed more triv- ial, even more humorous, as the telling of them! continued. Finally, we'll venture, a little flush out of there and at home on the front porch, watching the world pass. The judge who refused their divorce and ar- ranged a little’ family conference to iron out} the troubles was a wise judge. More than; that, he was merciful. rest of the way together. We wish them a |eieat golden wedding day. ee Aviation’s Progress (St. Paul Daily News) Germany has developed commercial flying to a higher point than any nation. This is dem- onstrated by the type of passengers who were riding in the airplane that fell last Friday. Ambassadors, bankers and railroad dires-| tors do not take conveyances that are consid-, ered unsafe. That, more than anything else, is the out standing feature of the fatal crash which re- sulted in the death of Baron von Maltzan, the} popular and able German ambassador to the, United States. In spite of such tragedies and in spite of the} with useless stunts, commercial flying is steadily progressing. Assistant Secretary of Commerce McCracken said in St. Paul the other day that the mail air- ways now open or soon to be opened in this country cover more than 11,000 miles and that 24 lines are carrying mail, four of which are equipped to carry passengers. During the first half of this year American pilots flew more than 12,000,000 miles. This does not include test flights, races and stunts, _ Commercial flying not only in America, but in most other countries, has not only become impressively free from accidents, but is grow- ing freer all the while. The shocking effect of uhe German accident consists mainly in the fact that it is one among very few. Whither Are We Climbing? (Detroit News) The year is on the wane, but we are not in- consolable at its passing. It has been a good year, a year well spent by the human race, 4 year of worthy and gratifying achievements. In the ceaseless struggle for supremacy new champions have clambered up the peaks of fame. The feats of Gentleman Gene Tunney are fresh in memory, but Gene is only one su- peman among many who claim our attention. ehold our heroes: A The man who ate thirty-four eggs at a sit- ing. The man who drank nineteen cups of coffee. The man who sat ten days on a flagpole. The man who held his breath three minutes. The man who weighs 430 pounds. _The man who engraved seventy words on a pinhead. ‘ : The man who drank bootleg liquor and lived. Genuine heroes are they all, and they have their reward. All of them, except the last, were inpelled to do what they did from the love of admiration, and with this the people have generously crowned them.

Boom- boom McWhorter, The senator has just returned from a personal survey of condi- tions in his own state, so he speaks with authority. Much to his own regret, his state is notivery dry and the wets back home lave heen very bitter against the senator, as he will tell you himeelf. (The nation remembers the occasion when McWhorter’s enemies planted a pint bottle in his hip pocket. Even the senator himself wouldn't have known it was there if it hadn't fallen out and broken in a public pl ) ry “I find that this seasonal-section- al policy is especially needed in the wet centers of my state,” began Sen-|" ator McWhorter in an exclusive in- terview. “Much more so than in Florida, where most of the drinking is done in the winter, or in New York, where most of it is done around Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. “Down in my old congressional district, for instance, I find that there ig a very stubborn wet minor- ity.

GILBERT SWAN. o | BARBS —_—_—_—— OO Mexico is getting ready for an- other presidential election. They held a little target practice down there the other day. Judging from the great celebra- tion held for Von Hindenburg on his birthday, they seem to like his “line” over there. The head of the prohibition forces in Washington says intelligence agents have been assigned to inves- tigate at several big colleges.

They not only celebrate Christm.s and New Year's and bhi aa rag pact in ee sist on paying their res; in this mistaken way on the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Lincoin’s Birthday, Washington’s birthday, Columbus Day and Andrew Jackson Day. “In fact, they seem to find an ex- cuse for celebration almost any old day. They observe the annual an: niversary of the battle of Yorktown, the firing on Fort Sumter, the battle of the Alamo and the fall of the Bastile, “In such cases the judges always have to bé sympathetic, of course. Why, once in my congressional dis- trict a man was arrested for being pie-eyed and shooting at the street lights and was released when he reminded the judge that he was merely behaving like a true patriot on the birthday of President Millard Fillmore. se “Naturally, I am passing all this information along to the proper, au- nd it will no doubt be acted up “I am also suggesting to them a plan of campaign which I believe will not only make this seasonal- sectional campaign a success but which will definitely turn the tide in favor of prohibition enforcement for all time. In my survey I have found that any man who has traffic with bootleggers at all is sure to lay in something for his own birth- jay. “The Democrats will go dry rather celebrate the birthday of Ben- jamin Harrison and the Republicans refuse to Hie up on the birthday of Judge Alton B, Pa: but no real wet ever neglects his own birth- day. You meet similar difficulties when you consider that the German and Bulgarian elements never pay any attention to Armistice Day and the existence of similar complica- tions, se ¢ “My plan of seasonal-sectional activity, as recommended to the en- forcement chiefs, calls for a com- pilation of the birthdays of all citizens. Then whenever anybody's birthday approaches the agents will follow him and watch his house and whenever he is seen leaving some place with a bottle or a man with a bottle is seen approaching his home there will immediately be one more bootlegger in the toils of the law and pretty scon there won't be any more bootleggers.” kept in mind in such— matters.
