Community funds are better than war funds, but harder to raise. Many schools and colleges are be- coming appendages to football elevens.

Doing your work ahead of schedule is just as easy as doing it tardily, but most work isn’t doné that way. When people imagine evil about you, don’t bother yourself; when you imagine it about them, get busy on yourself. When a fellow loudly proclaims that he is as good as anybody it may be sus- pected that he is beginning to have doubts about it.

Mars continues to scowl, but Cupid is winking the other eye. : COLLEGE FOOTBALL Another investigation of alleged pro- fessionalism in college football is said to be imminent, owing to a request by a num- ‘ber of college presidents who have com- plained of the subsidization of players by rival institutions. The Carnegie Founda- tion, which conducted a similar investiga- tion seven years ago, has been asked to! undertake the task again. The report of the former survey dis- closed that about one in seven athletes in He 130 colleges was subsidized, and it is said that the situation improved considerably as a result of these disclosures. In the last two or three years, however, it is declared that professionalism has become more widespread than ever. College football has been so com- mercialized in recent years that the prob- lem of keeping it on an amateur basis is a most difficult one. Human nature being what it is, there is little likelihood that any satisfactory solution can be found. And even if no solution is found the heavens probably will not fall. t The ‘enormous crowds’ ‘Which “attend the major games indicate: that: ‘the tomers are not greatly coneerned over he: charges of professionalism: They. willcone tinue to flock to the: stadiums) whe: there is a prospect.of seeing a good It would be better sport if professionalignt could be eliminated, of course, but no one has been smart enough to devise means for accomplishing that end. Still, professional investigators must’ have something to investigate, so they may as well investigate professionalism. 40,000 GERMS Housewives who carefully wash their drinking glasses and then invert them on an unwashed tray rarely realize that the rim will pick up 40,000 bacteria but the American Public Health Association says this is the truth. Among the residents on the edge of the glass, ready to touch the lips of some human being, may be organisms of pneu- monia, tuberculosis or influenza, even though it has just been washed in the most approved manner. Safe dishwashing, says Dr. James G. Cummings, is to take the glasses from the wash water and put them in a_ rinsing dish, which may contain either 170 degree Fahrenheit, water or water containing a solution of hypochlorite. We believe all this but, nevertheless, we doubt if many housewives of the coun- ty will alter their own glass-washing pro- cedure. There is no urge for them to do so if they are willing to take the risks that come from possible infections. DEMOCRACIES FEAR WAR The western democracies, France and Britain are declining to challenge the dic- tatorial powers in Italy and Germany: £6% fear that to do so would méanh ‘war : Mussolini and, Hitler seek ‘a tiew, any, by creating a Spanish’ Government fayur* pn able to them, which will powers stronger in the future. Sooner ‘or later the French and British will either have to oppose these dictators or allow them to run Europe, directly and in- directly. France and Britain dislike helping communism, as exemplified by Russia, in any struggle against the Fascist nations. The responsibility of carrying a nation in- to war is vast and one would hesitate to criticize either the British or French lead- ers. Sooner or later, however, the strug- gle for mastery of Europe will come and the great powers will have to take sides. THE ONE BIG CHURCH IDEA An idea that seems to have played in the minds of religious leaders for cen- turies revolves around the reunion of all! the Christian churches into one, great, big church. It is, apparently, taken for granted that if we can get all Christians into one church we will really have Christianity. We presume to doubt it. The only universal church that will ever do this world, or any other, any good is the church that grows in the hearts of men and wo- men. Forms, ceremonies and organiza- tions are insignificant unless they develop Christianity in the character and lives of people. Led George Al'en. 6. ‘ahd!
