(Official City, State and County Newspaper) WE ADMIRE FOOLISHNESS A Massachusetts professor advises college men to be snobbish if they want to succeed, while an English busi- ness man urges late marriage and strict frugality. In Ohio an educator stresses unceasing toil as the highroad to success, and a westerner tells young graduates to re- tain the “cool balance of the educated man” under all circumstances. ‘These are all notable bits of advice, and probably will do a great deal of good. But it strikes us that one thing has been left out. No one, so far, has told the 1929 crop of graduates that one of the best traits a man can have is the ability to be wildly, daringly foolish now and then. However much we admire the more sober virtues, the man we admire most is always the man who is willing to do something that runs counter to common sense. Up on the coast of Maine, at this moment, there is a little gasoline yacht which, for the time being, is more interesting to the American people than any other ship on earth. In it is a pair of homeymooners—one Colonel . Lindbergh and his bride. This young man has won the i hearts of his countrymen so much that he can't even get them to leave him alone on his wedding trip. And Lindbergh, if you'll recall, did it by doing some- thing that no man who considered common sense and steady plodding the greatest of virtues would ever have dreamed of doing. There really wasn’t much sober sense in flying alone across the Atlantic. It was extremely dangerous, and it served no obvious utilitarian end. A young man who minded the commencement speakers would never have tried it. But Lindbergh shoved the maxims of frugality and sobriety: aside—and did it. And, as a result, he made himself the nation’s most popular hero in a generation. His, of course, is an extreme case—but it illustrates the point. Secretly, all of us are a bit sick of the sober virtues. We work hard and- we save our money and we do all the other things that the copy books advise—and, somehow, we don't get any overwhelming measure of success. We are too used to doing this sort of thing to dare break away, take chances and risk everything on a throw of the dice; but we have a deep admiration for the chap who does. It might be a good thing if someone could buttonhole each senior class just as it gets through listening to its commencement oration, and whisper softly to it: “That's all very_well, but don’t believe too much of it. If you really want to gét ahead—take long chances, be a spendthrift, learn how to risk all that you have. You may lose; but if you win, you'll win everything.” FORD IN EUROPE In the request of Henry Ford fer data on wage scales, living costs and taxation in a number of European cities so that his company may pay the same “real” wages abroad as in the United States, business observers here profess to see the same developments there that his unique compensation policy accomplished on this side of the water. It is pointed out that Europe is to have a Practical demonstration of what high wages and high output can attain in pushing national prosperity. ‘There is some fear here that the lesson of high wages ‘and mass production as the secret of American prosper- ity may be too eagerly grasped and Europe become too formidable a competitor. Then again, the best opinion holds that prosperity abroad would mean further tm- provement here. In these discussions a point worth emphasizing is that some of America’s own sick industries have still to learn the principle that Mr. Ford may introduce abroad. A good deal of education continues to be needed at home. ‘While some Americans will be irked and worried by the thought that Europe may eventually build her own Ford cars instead of importing them from Detroit, there are definite compensations in the Ford plan. High wages in Europe would mean more money with which to bay American goods. Moreover, Europe would no longer be able to undersell American competitors because of dis-. Parity in wages paid on the two continents. NO HELP TO PRESTIGE Tt is hard to see in what way the Ameriean house of representatives covered itself with any glory at all during its first day's consideration of the census and reappor- tionment bill. : The amendment to exclude aliens from the count was cheap and unworthy; ‘so, likewise, was the companion amendment, voted in retaliation, to exclude negroes in southérn states. And the little rider removing the census appointees from civil service rules, and thereby setting up ij, 100,000 jobs for the deserving friends of congressmen, was Politics at its very lowest. - On top of this, the demeanor of the members, described in dispatches as a near-riot, was just a trifle disgraceful. House leaders this spring were reported to be deter- mined to raise the general prestige of their body to the level of the senate'’s. They are cértainly choosing a pe- culiar way to go about it. _ When he takes stock after coming home, he knows why <they call it “spending” the honeymoon. " Compunction is more likely to bother the conscience Sass art of gousip it/isn’t necessary to A MAJESTIC CAPITAL A recent newspaper supplement article on the national capital began with the statement, “The city of Washing- ; ton has never been able to live up to the majestic plan of its founder, nor yet to live it down. For 150 years the |tederal city has struggled with and against the mag- nificence of its specifications in the same way that the nation has struggled with that other spacious contempor- | ary formula, the federal constitution.” But the day is coming when Washington will be able | to live up to the majestic plan of L’Enfant. For the first | time in history congress is willing to appropriate un- counted millions for a building program on the grand | scale, A start has been made to make Washington the most beautiful and sublime capital in the world. It will | take years—perhaps generations—to finish, but the fin- | ished picture will dazzle by the long defile of plaster | palaces marching beside a Mall miraculously cleared of j all that now encumbers it. | The real pressure behind the new Washington is the | new Washington. Much has been said since the world | war of the United States as a great world power, perhaps | the greatest. But that conception of our place in the in- | ternational scheme is new to Americans, and in the country at large has been discounted as political hyper- bole. Very slowly the legend has acquired the vitality of ® fact, predicated not upon a vague political pre-emi- | mence but upon the clear evidence of our mechanistic supremacy THE MANY WHO LOST It is a bit unsettling to us ordinary folk to read about the half-dozen lucky ones who held winning tickets in the English Derby lotteries. An Irish widow gets a quarter of a million; an Indian- apolis janitor gets some $80,000; a Calcutta clerk draws down $100,000—and so on. Reading these stories, one’s, natural conclusion is that the best way to get along in life to spend all one’s money on lottery tickets. But, of course, there's another side to it. All of the money that these people won came from scores of thou- sands of other people who bought tickets and did not win. There were half a dozen winners and a couple of hundred thousand losers. : That's the way it always is with speculation. We let the successes dazzle us, but we forget about. the much. larger number of failures. WAR-BORN EMOTIONS ARE DEAD Emotions born of war-time excitement do not last long. 2 If any further proof of this were needed, it is furnished by the recent action of the British election in returning Ramsay MacDonald to the premiership. During the war MacDonald was an out-and-out pacifist. He was subject to bitter criticism, lost his seat in parlia- ment, and apparently his political career was ruined for good. Britain, in those days, had no use for pacifists. But he is now prime minister for the second time. The war-time rage against pacifists has died down. The word is still a term of deep reproach in some circles; but -Eng- lishmen, figuring up what they got out of the war, can hardly be expected to consider pacifism fs terrible a erime as they did a decade ago. Preparedness is merely a matter of getting all the va- cation letters written before leaving home so as to be free to enjoy oneself. It is inconceivable that no manufacturer has thought to advertise his line as “The perfect lawn mower. Ask the man who loans one.” It is our observation over a great many years that nothing of cosmic importance, except to the passengers, was ever said in a porch swing.

It depends on how well a man is known if he can cre- ate an impression by seeming to be in a hurry.

Some people find it hard to go to sleep even though they have been practicing for years and years. sie | Editorial Comment | CREATIVE ART A HOBBY (Pittsburgh Post-Gasette) United States, told undergraduates at Princeton that he intended to cultivate book-binding as a hobby after re- tirement and advised them to give attention to creating the beautiful he struck a neede@ note in this so-calied machine age. Quantity production must go on, of course, but at the same time individual lines should have the en- tichment that comes through the making of artistic ob- Jects. A creative hobby also is a safety valve. Sir Esme plended that his hearers learn to produce art that they minht the better appreciate the creations of others. A civilization without original work going for- ward for the economic needs of the artists would be un- thinkable. One in which no artistic-effort is being made for the pure pleasure of workers who are otherwise en- gaged in the eaining of subsistence would he almost as undesirable. Fortunatelv there have always been follow- ers of auiet, entertaining. productive hobbies. There alwavs will be. The class is so desirable that the numbers should increase, : AVIATION ON THE GROUND (Nation's Business) Along with all the aerial wonders revealed by aviation at the celebration of its twenty-fifth birthday is the equally notable develop of its suétaining ground- work. It is evident that design and equipment of the modern airport does provide opportunity for constructive ingenuity and business acumen. In the present stages of airport design are included many improvements which would have seemed visionary to aviators in pre-war days. Administration buildings are now proposed in magni- tude to equa! railroad terminals. Lighting and equipment. “air weather” bureaus, permament fire-resistant hangars, storage and repair buildings. and paved runways are only & few of the features which now have become common- Place appointments. None of them was standard ten years ago. But they constitute only the physical at- tributes of progress. More intangible, but directly con- tributory to the ri orp of aviation, is the enlight- ened public spirit that voting millions of dollars for a construction. . $8,500,000 was voted in that behalf at the elec- tion on Nov. 6.

Music students criticize bad metre matched to bad rhythm, and there has been consid- erable agitation for a long time for a national anthem “that people could really sing.” But the Rev. George W. Hilton of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Huntington, Conn., has a different reason for proposing its banishment. He asked his congregation to elim- inate the second verse at Memorial day exercises.

(Copyright, 1929, NEA Service, Inc.) Talks To <9, 4, Parents A LONELY YOUNGSTER (By Alice Judson Peale) “We live in a big apartment house and miy*little boy has no one to play with.. When I take him to the park he is so shy that he does not make friends. I think he would love to play with children but he doesn't know how. “He spends most of his time out of doors standing with a wistful expres- sion on his face, watching the other children laughing and calling to each other &s they race up and down the Pavement on their kiddie caré and scooters. I feel so sorry for him. But kindergarten is out of the question and, until he is old enough to go to school, I suppose nothing can be done about it.” Perhaps your child is one of those lonely little youngsters who does not go to kindergarten, who has no one to play with, and no way of making friends for himself. What can you do for him? You can do a great’deal. You can make contacts with the mothers of the likely looking children you see in the park. You might now and again plan speciat trips to such places as the zoo or the merry-go-round, and invite one or two of these children to come with you. On rainy days call in some child who lives in your apartment build- ing. His mother will be charmed to Jet him have a change of scene, and the children will have a good time if you give them a proper chance. Leave them alone together. See to it that they have the sort of play ma- terials which suggest cooperative Play—big floor blocks, trains, dolls and housekeeping toys. ‘When you have done what you can to provide your child with playfel-| first lows, be ready still occasionally to PICNIC LUNCHES Short mountain or beach camping trips are pleasant diversions, but those who are trying to live on a correct diet are often puzzled about the kind of lunch to take. The ordinary picnic lunches consisting of weiners, pickles, potato chips and baked beans, etc., do not seem to fit in with a dietary regime. Usually, the breakfast and dinner can be eaten at home, and the prin- cipal problem is with the lunches which must be prepared in the morn- ing to be kept in good condition for lunch. ‘Wholesome sandwiches can be pre- pared from wholewheat bread with the addition of lettuce leaves, cabbage leaves or chopped celery, and some filling such as sliced meat, cheese, eggs, fish, olives, chicken, pork, ham or peanut butter. It is better to avoid the more elaborate layer sandwiches. It is also better to avoid using toma- toes and other acid fruits at the same time because of the starch contained in the bread. The thermos bottle is a valuable as- set to the short mountain or beach trips. There are two principal kinds, one for liquids with a narrow mouth, and one for solid foods -with a wide opening at the top. Some campers Prefer to use a fireless cooker in place of the thermos bottle. Various foods can be placed in the cooker while very hot and they will be cooked and still warm by lunch time. If neither the thermos bottle nor fireless cooker is available, one may obtain a similar effect by wrapping hot pots with close-fitting lids in many thicknesses of newspaper. The newspaper acts as an insulator and prevents the rapid escape of heat from the vessel. There are three types of food com- binations which can be used to ad- vantage on picnic trips. Tbe follow- ing are some good combinations which Provide delicious luncheons and are at the same time highly nutritious: No. 1. Two or three sandwiches made of wholewheat bread. Slice the bread before packing the lunch and wrap it in oil paper so the slices will not become too dry. Take along a small jar of fresh butter and also some of the fillings as mentioned in the first part of the article. Also take along a plentiful supply of lettuce leaves and if desirable, some raw car- rots and celery or a raw vegetable salad which can be made at home and Packed in a jar. No. 2. One pint of raw certified milk sipped slowly while eating any one kind of the following fruits: Or- anges, apples, peaches, berries, plums or cherries. Do not be afraid to use this combination, as the fruit and milk mix perfectly if no other food is used at the same time. Or, if you de- sire, you may take along a pint of A Me BBS THE WAR DEPARTMENT On this date in 1776 congress cre- ated the first United States depart- ment of war. It differed considerably from the present-day department, but it was the forerunner. It was not until 1789 that congress Provided for the department of war as it is constituted today. In 1776 this branch of the federal govern- ment was little more than a congres- sional committee. Now the secretary of war is a member of the cabinet, ranking third in the line of succes- sion to the presidency. He has charge of all military af- fairs, subject to the direction of the President, the distribution of stores, the signal service, the survey and im- Provement of harbors and the ad- ministration of insular possessions.
