Knocks out that "knock? WASTE AT ITS WOEST While he was secretary or com- meree, Herbert Hoover did a great ideal of useful and important work ! in showing us how to eliminate ( waste, The productivity of our factories and the general level oi cur pros perity were raised to higher levels when people discovered better ways to use their resources without wast ing any of them. Then? was one form of waste, however, that Hoover was unable to reach the costliest, most inexcus able form of all; the waste r brains. In the April issue of Hygeia, the health magazine of the American Medical Association, Donald A. Laird tells how a psychologist recently de scended on a group of ordinary day laborers who were busy digging a sewer ditch and gave th m intelli gence tests. Most of the laborers showed just about the kind of k suit you would expect. But three or four of them, to the amazement. Their brains were keen enough for them to heroine members of the professions. The marks they got on the tests were about what would be expected, say, of an average good lawyer. Yet, fitted by nature to work with their brains they were doing jobs that an ordinary half wit with a husky physique could do just as well as they. Waste of that kind is waste that hurts the whole nation. It is more serious than waste of oil. of coal, of power, of timber, cf soil. Yet it is a matte:- that seldom gets any atten tion. We expect it to right itself. We take it for granted that every man will somehow find his way into the place where he can exercise all of his faculties and powers to the best advantage and carelessly over look the hundreds and thousands of eases where tlii fails to happen. The psychologist who tested these ditch diggers didn't bother to find out why the three or four men of above-the-average intelligence hap pened to be digging ditches. Prob ably we wouldn't be much wiser if he had. The thing is not uncom mon, and there is a variety of rea sons for it. We're familiar with most of them. Much as we talk about the "glor ious opportunities" of our country, the plain fact remains that many, many people never get a fair break. It. is a lot of poppycock -to say that every man gets just what he is en titled to. Many a perfect dumbbell who had the good fortune to be born of wealthy parents is occupying a nleasant. hiehl v-salaried position to day, while another man, with a brain ten times as good as his. who came from the depths of poverty and misfortune, and never had a chance to develop his latent abilities, is working as a day laborer That is the kind of waste that de mands checking most of all. Suppose we do waste gasoline, steam, food, electricity or such-like things; we are rich, and it won't cripple us. But we are not any too rich in brains. We never can be. And every brain that lies unused when it might have been put to work in the service of the whole nation represents a loss that can never be made good. A PREPOSTEROUS SUGGESTION The prize for effrontery ought to be awarded, without further delay, to the American who wrote a cir cular letter to the hotel and restau rant men of Paris begging them to revise their methods of cookery so that American tourists could eat as they are accustomed to eat at home. This man it should be known, manages parties of American tourists, and says he has taken at least 7,000 of them about France. Many of them, he said, suffered from indigestion due to French cooking; would the Paris ian chefs be so kind as to revamp their styles. There are many persons for going to Paris. Not the least of them is the fact that the cooking there is different, and in 99 per cent of the cases infinitely better, than the cook ing in this country. For an Amer ican, fresh from the land of hot dogs, lunch-counter doughnuts, and abom inable coffee, to ask the Parisian cooks to adopt a new style is noth- jing short of preposterous. :o: See where judge up in one of the larger cities the other day awarded a fair damsel $5000 heart balm in a j breach of promise suit. The same (day the same judge awarded a little girl $C damages for six broken ribs she had received when a car struck J her. There's a moral to this. It is: If you have a sweetheart, never break ;her heart; kick her in the ribs, it's much cheaper. :o:- Now that the former president has gone into the writing game, he ought to tell everybody how it feels to make a little money.

We didn't know Mexico was so large. Wonder who's the Champion Wick-Trimmer SAW a picture of a fellow that won a hand mow ing contest in New Hamp shire. He swung a scythe over a plot 20 x 50 feet in 4 minutes and 19 seconds. And he didn't even wilt his white collar. Wonder how many lan terns he could clean, trim and fill in an hour. That's an old-fashioned pastime, too. I'm willing to bet him one thing, anyhow. I'll bet he can't light up his house, barn, garage, chick en house, corn crib and barnyard with lanterns as quick as he could do it with Delco-Light. And even if he could light up the whole place that way, he'd be scared every min ute the place'd go up in smoke. 0. C. Stout 234 South 11th Street - Lincoln, Neb.
