Graduates of June are heaving a sigh of relief that September has no qualms for them. Brain work is harder than manual labor, especially when the coating of gray . matter is rather thin, If it were not for the general habit of saying one thing and meaning another, you could almost believe what you hear.

If the government of the United States is to represent the farmers, the laborers, the veterans or the job-holders and take care of their needs, without much regard to the balance of the taxpayers, the end of the republic of the United States is underway. This same rule applies to smaller tints of democracy. Always there must be con- cern for the general welfare. Always there must be no vested rights and special interests on the part of minorities or ma- jorities, “UNDOMINATED!” The Chicago Tribune, which says it is the “world’s greatest newspaper,” recent- ly took a full page advertisement in other newspapers to proclaim that its Washing- ton staff writers are “undominated.” We remember the day when _ it taken for granted that a newspaper writer was “undominated.” The profession of journalism, it seems to us, is at a new low when.the *world’s greatest newspaper” advertises, a5 a spe- cial virtue, the fact that its wrifers are “undominated.” After all, isn’t it still the thing to as- sume? SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen was Dr. Dayton of the Massachusetts health department declares that children from small families are more _ intelligent than the younger members of large fami- lies. Maybe so, but we may remind the doctor that Benjamin Franklin, who wasn’t so dumb, was the youngest of his parents’ 10 children. Invention of the cigarette is credited to a British soldier who had lost his pipe while serving in Egypt in 1832. Craving a smoke, he thought of rolling some tobacco in a small] square of the Indian paper used to wrap powder for his rifle. The idea worked, and a new industry was born. Mohammedans have one outstanding virtue in-that they never ask “Is it hot enough for you?” Their religion forbids them to comment on the weather, lest it appear that they are critical of Allah's meteorological arrangements. Wonder! what they find to talk about. Recurring disorders from time to time have made Havana police cautious. A suspicious-looking package found in the lobby of a public building was carefully handled and soaked in water through fear it was a bomb. When opened the package was found to contain a baby’s milk bottle and nipple. Harry Forsythe of Pittsburgh assert- ed his right to dispose of anything.portable around his home and got away with it. He took three of his wife’s chickens and a ham and traded them for whisky. She had him arrested for theft, but the judge sided with Harry and turned him loose. Athletic training for women found vindication in a recent New York episode. Mrs. Anna Gavenda, a physical culture expert, upon discovering a burglar in her apartment promptly knocked him down and out, then telephoned the police.
