What a swell flock of detours! :o: It's pretty hard to dislike a man who likes you even if he hasn't any thing else in his favor. :o: Football may be over-emphasized, but to the fellows who to heave the forwards it's Just a passing fancy. :o: When you buy everything from peddlers you can save enough to pay the taxes once paid by merchants. Seven days make one week, but it often takes more to make one strong. :o:- The man . who knows the least about the major problems of life is always in the biggest hurry to tell it. :o: Al Smith refuses to admit that his hat is not in the 1932 Presidential ring.

There will be general acceptance ot Mr. Barrist's contention even at Hollywood. Thirty thousand Is trifle too much to put out OA Miss Constance in seven days, though she looks like a million dollars. Three weeks would see her with more cash than President Hoover gets for a year of naming commissions, secur ing moratoriums, and being bedevil ed by Congress. These movie folks should be taught some moderation. Think ot thirty thousand dolalrs in terms of peanuts. peaches, watermelons, bushels of wheat, tooth paste, and safety hazor blades! Why the girl couldn't begin to spend that much money even for net hose, beach pajamas, and rayon nighties. :o: According to the Detroit News, the hardest word to get into print is "peculation," in an embezzlement story.

It cannot, for example be stated beyond all doubt that At lantis, the continent which Plato said Used to exist in the middle of the Atlantic, is entirely a figment of man's imagination, though all the probabilities point to its being so Whether it ever really had "a local habitation" or was merely "an in substantial pageant" or was merely "an insubstantial pageant" of the fancy may be finally settled at some future date. Meanwhile K. M. S. Challenger's expedition north of the Azores to seek for a shallow belt of water in the midst of a uniformly deep depres sion, near tbe spot where Atlantis traditionally sank beneath the waves, recalls other legends of antiquity concerning fabulous or semifabulous things and places, which even now have a possibility of factual basis lingering about them. Reluctantly, one has to give up the unicorn. Even Mr. Odell Shep- ard, who has written a most learned and fascinating book about him, can regard the unicorn only in a mood of affectionate incredulity. One con stantly comes across evidence of our ancestors' belief in him. As late as 1789 a unicorn's horn was used to test the Ingredients in the food of the kings of France. He is a sup porter of the royal arms of England and Scotland. He figures on the front page of every issue of The Times, perhaps an even more exalted posi tion. But even so, no one has ever seen a unicorn. And it is at least rea sonable to suppose that, in the more than 2000 years during which ac counts of the unicorn have been ex tant, someone would at some time have seen one somewhere, if he exist ed at all. It La the same with the phoenix; but hardly with the sea serpent. This stand-by of the correspondence col umns of the penny papers in the summer months may turn out to be authentic at any moment. Most of the sea serpents that have been seen hitherto have indeed disappointingly changed into lines ot porpoises, a flight of sea fowl, or even masses of seaweed, on closer inspection. But there are nevertheless one or two cases on . record which this kind of erplanation does not fit; and it is Just remotely possible that we shall wake up one fine morning to find that, although Atlantis never was. and the phoenix and the unicorn are only amiable fictions, the real, genu ine, 100 per cent sea serpent has at last been discovered. :o: HEW IDEAS IN EDUCATION Now comes the children's bureau of the United States department of education with - a declaration that 'children should not be taught to be little misers;" that the little tin sav ihgs bank is a positive injury to the character of the child, and should be discarded. After reading nearly everything that educational experts have been telling us recently, one is forced to the conclusion that children should not be taught anything; that they should be permitted to follow their own Inclinations, instincts, and in herent characteristics; that they should grow up wild, so to speak. and work - out their own destinies without guidance. Some of the experts actually tell us that children should not even be taught to respect their parents; that they will do this naturally if left to themselves, and a compulsory love, affection, or spirit ot obedience han dicaps the development of character. In other words. If little Willie swipes grandpa's false teeth and pounds them to pieces-with a ham raer, or tosses his baby sister into the cistern, nothing should be said or done about it. Willie is merely developing his character. The great thing is tt avcid all re- m fttrictions and instructions; let the t liUd go its own way and expand its wn beautiful chart ter acceding to its own unlmpedec desirr-. Every ifcmg will bo all rUht in the -nd if ci ly inhibit Jous are avoided. The happy child will have learned to read and write by instinct, its manners w'll be perfect, it will have taught itself to clean its teeth and wash behind its ears as a matter of in tuitive sanitation and both its par en ts ; wljl. be in a lunatic asylum. where they can no longer interfere. even If they wanted to, with the free and independent result of enlight ened educational processes. :o; The public attitude toward fresh men Is changing. The public can no longer look with indiSerence upon the tortures ot young men whose obly offense is going to college, no eaatter whether their mistreatment consists of blistering their feet, as at the University of Missouri, or of blistering them elsewhere, as at oth er institutions of higher learning. THE CONSTANT EEV0LT Retiring after 30 years of service as dean of men at the University of Illinois, Thomas Arkle Clark casts a thoughtful glance back over the years and concludes that young people, tak en by and large, are Just about what they always were. "Young people haven't changed fundamentally in 80 years," he says. "They, are all going to the same places, only their ways lie over hard roads, in automobiles, or in airplanes, and to the accompaniment of radios. All of this sounds logical enough, but it is vaguely disappointing. A man who has kept a watchful eye on university students for over a quar ter of a century ought to have some thing to say about the revolt of ')Uth, or the way in which the younger generation is going to perdi tion. We expect It of him. It's an eld American custom. Still, the gentleman probably, knows what he is talking about; and bis summing-up makes one wonder if this whole "you problem" isn't one of those perennial problems that never get solved, never get worse, and never lead to anything in parti cular. It is the function of youth to be in revolt, to be disrespectful of its elders, to do things that the gener ation just ahead thinks scandalous. Every "younger generation" since tbe days of the Pharoahs probably has been that way. This, indeed, is the one unchanging thing In a changing world. Indeed, we older ones who get shocked by the doings of the young sters weren't we ourselves, a few; years ago, shocking our own elders? And weren't they, in turn, doing the same thing a few decades before? All of these revolts that we and our fathers and our grandfathers led . where are they now? Living on in the youth of today, perhaps other-j wise, non-existent. The fact is both comforting and saddening. YouTh isn't going to up set the applecart. It will grow up, get disillusioned, and raise its own hands over the antics of its children. It always has, and it always will. Sometimes one almost wishes that It wouldn't. :o: The Texas senate says Governor Huey Long of Louisiana Is a liar, and the governor says the Texas legisla ture should be bored for the hollow horn. We have found out what he meant by that, but we don't yet un derstand why a southern gentleman should resent being called a liar by a group of other southern gentlemen. :o: ' Hazing wouldn't be so objection able If it even half accomplished its purpose of making a freshman less fresh. But its effect is almost ex actly the opposite the rule is, in fact, the fresher the freshman, the more sophomoric a sophomore he be comes." :'o; Bead the Journal XTaatAds. NOTICE Whereas.
