Fosdick Urges 44Above Average” for Graduates Michigan Scholars Urged Not to “Bow Down” Before the General Average and the - » Majority Vote. Ann Arbor, Mich, June 18.—Dr. Harry Emerson Fosllck, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of New York, came to the commencement ex ercises at the University of Michigan today to enunciate a call to the uni versities of America to turn out gen erations of young men and women “who will live above the average and ahead of the time,” and will not “bow down before the general average and the majority vote.” "As young men and women go out into our social life." he said, “they will drift sooner or later into one of three places: they will be below the average, lawless or antisocial; or they will be on the average, a part of the dead level of those who think what everybody else thinks; or they will be above the average, pioneers whose visions are more prophetic than the majority yet see. Pleads for Recruits. "If there is any place on earth where one has the right to plead for recruits to that all too small minority of independent men and women, above the average and ahead of the time, surely that place is a college cam'pus o* commencement day. “In this endeavor to grasp the social significance of being above the average, we have at the very start one antagonistic force to overcome, the influence of political democracy.” Dr. Fosdick declared that modern democrats, who would scorn to truckle to an autocrat, truckled to majority with al lthe obsequious W tiess of a courtier before a king and continually “bowed down before the two great sovereigns of the demo cratic state, the general average and the majority vote." People Not Girl. While admitting that the “best way vet discovered in which to run a gov ernment is to elect public servants by . popular suffrage,” Dr. Fosdick de clared that "the idea that the voice of the people is the voice of God is largely nonsense.” “The fact is," he asserted, “that in any realm where judgment calls for spiritual and intellectual fineness, only the minority who are above the average are ever right. And the best hope of democracy lies in that minor ity who lift the level of the general average Instead of letting the general average level them down.” Mother and Three Tots Perish in Fire in Idaho By Associated Press.

Wheat Cost So Declares Preus at National Meet to Combat Grain Crisis. Bj Associated Press. Chicago, June 19.—The American farmer should live according to the same standards of life as pre\-ail for city workers and should receive the same monetary compensation for his day's work as the urban workers. Governor J. A. O. Preus of Minne sota said today in opening the nation al wheat conference here, composed of representatives of all branches of the Industry. Manufacturers, millers, elevator men a-nd allied industries, In addition to numerous farmers’ organi zations, were represented In the gath ering. which was called by governors of seven states. The two-day conference was ex pected to result in a permanent or ganization to serve as a clearing house for consideration of the prob lems of the wheat business from pro ducer to consumer. The new body probably will be known as the Na tional Wheat council. A nation-wide movement to in crease wheat consumption^so as to eliminate the annual carryover of approximately 170,000,000 bushels from one crop to the next was to be considered by the conference. In ad dition, the recommendation will be made that a national survey of the wheat industry be launched to bring the facts of the fundamental prob lems to light. Wheat is the only American com modity the price of which is con trolled outside of America, Governor Preus stated. "All of the problems confronting the American fanner, therefore, this wheat surplus Is the most important." the Minnesota gov ernor said in opening the conference. "Failure to bring relief to the farm er from his present situation will have a serious effect on every other industry." Bee Want Ads Produce Results.

Failed Bank Rule of Pool Attacked Secretary Hart and Bryan Say Courts Should Decide Matter. gperlal Dispatch to the Omaha Bee, Lincoln, June 19.—Attempt made by Charles W. Pool, secretary of state, to raise a legal question which would deny depositors in numerous ifailed banks the right to collect their deposits called for sharp criticism yesterday from J. E. Hart, secretary ^f the state department of trade and commerce. “It was my first intimation that Mr. Pool is an attorney general to rule on legal questions," Hart said. Much the same opinion was ex pressed by Governor Bryan. “If there is any dispute it should be settled by the courts,” he said. Pool made a statement Saturday to the effect that depositors in failed banks couldn't collect from the guar antee fund when that bank failed to comply with an obsolete law calling on all banks to receive a certificate of incorporation from the secretary of state. Since that law was placed on the statute books a new banking law, superseding the one referred to by Pool, was passed and in this law it was provided banks should receive their articles of Incorporation from the banking board and that's the rule which has been followed. 6 Connected With Steel Corporation Indicted Buffalo, N.

You know that one neglected her complexion—the other gave it care. Caring means mainly this: Use a soap that penetrates the pores. Keep the akin clean to its depths. Use a soap that restores, softens and fosters the skin texture. That means Palmolive That means Palmolive Soap — made by experts who have devoted their lives to the study of facial soap. Made by experts so successful that their soap has become the leading toilet soap of the world. Made to bring to the skin the matchless effects of palm and olive oils. Forget the price Many women feel that higher prices boy them bet ter soaps. They do not Science has never created a better or purer skin soap than Palmolive. Men have never found, in all the ages, skin helps that compare with palm and olive oils. No one has learned a way to make them mere effective. Millions of beautiful women know what they owe to Palmolive. Ask those you know, and you will do what they have done.

In all the centuries since then, science has never found a complexion help to compare with thosa ancient oils.
