In fact he has several answers, based on the replies of 56,095 students of element hools, high sch and colleges and including ral hundred teachers to whom the question was presented The most interesting fact revealed by the tabu- lations is that each division, grade school replies high school, college, teachers and the replies of Canadian stud placed President Rooseve!lt at the head of the list Grade schools listed the ten greatest men in the following order: Roosevelt, ' Lindbergh, Byrd Mussolini, Pope Pius, General Johnson, Hitler, Ford Balbo and Marconi Pope Pius and Balbo come off lists in the high school tabulations, Einstein Ghan added, and the ten “greatest men living today” presented in order of frequ Roosevelt lini, Byrd; Einstein, Lindbe General Hitler, Ford, Ghandi and Marconi College students put Pope Pius back on lists, add Father Coughlin, the radio priest, and Stalin and Byrd, Lindbergh and Ford are deposed and are Musso- Johnson, 1cy thei Replies of college students give the following list, in order of frequency: Roosevelt, Mussolini, Pope Pius, Father Coughlin, Hitler, Einstein, Stalin, General Johnson, Marconi, Ghandi.

About 2,500 replies to the same question were received from Canada- and here, toe,: we find Roosevelt leading the lists which rank the ten greatest men in the following: order: President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Bennett, ' King George, Governor General Lord Bessborough, Ramsay Mac- Dcnald, The Prince of Wales, Premier Mussolini, Hitler, Byrd and Lindbergh. A final tabulation of all the 56,095 votes gives us four political leaders, two scientists, one explorer, one churchman, one industrialists and one aviator. Children cost a lot of money. — We Want Mendenhall Milk! And do they get it? You bet they do! Every single one of these four and six-year-olds drinks Mendenhall milk, morning, noon and night. They like the taste. Their parents appreciate the importance of plenty of fresh, pure, whole milk from tested cows. When it comes to food, money spent for buying the BEST of wholesome, health building food is a real saving. Mendenhall Milk tops the list for healthful, economical food.

Newspaper Accuracy. (New York Times.) Speaking e other day at William and Mary College., R. Kent of The Baltimore Sun made a shrewd defense of the accuracy of most newspapers. He was not so foolish as to contend that even the best newspaper did not fall into error; indecd, he admitted the possibility that every mistakes every day. But “in no| newspaper makes profession, save that of the pure | business and cien! is the pr penalty for inaccur: of accuracy Mr. Kent defer ~y so prompt, and the proportion 50 ¢ This sounds sweeping, but s it on the ground, not that news- paper men are congenitally more accturate than other men, but that newspaper mistakes never go unnoticed. When mistakes are made in scme other business or profession they are often covered up and are r: newspaperman makes his mistakes right out in the »f many thousands of people: There isn't a newspaper man anywhere who does not know that, trivial though his error may be, some one will catch it. Even when it escapes the watchful editorial gaze, even when no one in the office picks it up, even when he, himself, is unaware of it, there are still the old subscribers—thousands of them—vigilant, alert, aggressive, resentful, eager to put their finger on the brake, com- | municate with the editor and “show up” the writer and the paper. These old sub- scribers, in my judgment, ar®é by far the most valuable asset a newspaper can have. Their militant, microscopic scrutiny is the finest poss corrective influence. It is seldom that the error-pointer-outer gets such generous praise, all of it, of course, deserved Incidentally, Mr. Ke: a service performed by the critic of mistakes that is often overlooked. Lord Halifax used to say that men w not hanged for stealing horses but that horses might not be stolen. On the same prin- ciple, the subscriber who calls attention to an error does not merely help to get that particular error corrected; he helps to keep alive on the newspaper that eternal vigilance which is the price of accuracy as well as of liberty. Detroit Com Back. (Kansas City Times.) suffered more than Detroit from the depressi Its setback from a prolonged period of rosperity for its leading industry, automobiles, was ccompanied by a great banking collapse, and de- faults on its municipal bonds, and for a time it! looked as if the city was hopelessly involved in debt But its banking troubles have been relieved and the city has successfully refunded its entire municipal debt of 278 million dellars, balanced its budget, and restored :ts credit setting an inspiring example for ther cities that have permittged their credit to be rired with less reason. for B are still waiting the ballad “T'll just for v w ing where they : Faithful” instead of the good old standbys “I Love You' Truly” and “Oh, Promise Me." sing One feature in fe of graph over the radio is that out to tell us about tooth stomach medicine. the old style phono- it dcesn’'t take time paste, auto tires and A headline, referring fo the coming marriage of a happy couple, says the -wedding ‘“ends ro- mance.”. How cynical newspapersmen become!— (Boston Globe.) = BN v ! 20 YEARS AGO Prom The Erpire 5 DECEMBER 29, 1914 The French campaign for the re- possession of its lost provinvees in Alsace was apparently making progress. The town of Steinbach had been taken by the allies troops. Slow and tedious trench fighting was continued with but slight gains on either side. Charles E. Bunnell, of Valdez, was appointed U. S. District Judge ney, Democratic National Commii- tee, expressed himself as pleased with the choice of Bunnell.
