XXX SEPTEMBER 28, 1922 No. 21 ALAS THE ANGLE WORM And now we have a device by which the angle worm is hunted in his lair, brought to the surface to be devoured for the sustenance of the great American hen. Peter J. O'Keefe, of Greenwich, Connecticut is the inventor. The device is an electrical one and literally shocks the worms out of the ground. It consists of two brass rods that are pushed into the earth I several feet apart. A wire is attached to each rod and each wire connects with an ordinary telephone magneto. By twisting the handle of the magneto the angle worm feels it is time to take the air. Rapidly he moves to escape, but, alas! the chicken is a waiting, and as soon as the worm imagines he is safe from danger his troubles e come to an end. Thus does the world move on. If the mentality of the angle wormt were properly developed, he would sense the greater danger of leaving his natural environment. As time goes on and the standard of angle worm intelligence advances, things may improve for him; but in the meantime, he will have to look for temporary protection to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Angle Worms, an organization which undoubtedly will come into being as soon as the cruelty of the O'Keefe device is conceived. Surely such an opportunity for a new protective and paternalistic so ciety cannot be missed. OUR COLLEGIATE ICEMEN American colleges prepared for the greatest year in their history. In almost every state of the union the enrollment figures show marked ad. al vances and records broken. Yale, Princeton, Wellesley, Union, Pennsylvania, Vassar, Dartmouth and bi Tulane reached the pinnacle of their prosperity. It is also true of many m western colleges. Fact is that this prosperity for colleges is due largely to the change In bh the viewpoint of our educational institutions. Many cobwebs have been to swept away. Si Today the college means more than the accepted understanding of acade mic teaching. It means a broader vision of life and a greater understanding tic of the necessity for the thing worth while. tic The college man today is to be found everywhere. He is at the head of tol a great banking institution, he is a chauffeur, he drives an ice wagon, he tills the soil, he appears in literature and ornaments the plumbing estab. in litsment. u Sometimes the unthinking criticize the college because its graduates may be found driving a milk wagon and the like. The answer, of course, is that 64 if all milk wagon drivers were college men milk would be delivered more orderly and even our babyhood would be helped. The greatness of the college does not lie in its being the gangway down del which one may walk to the professions. Its worth is in giving to the country - men who can thoroughly perform the duty of the hour. The college is not the panacea for empty skulls. The best it can do is to equip the man who has something under his hat. wI We Are Going to be Grasshoppers Did you ever hear of Doolittle? be If some fellow had told your grandfather when he was a boy that in the An time of his grandchildren a man would take dinner one evening on the cool no summer veranda overlooking the broad Atlantic and at ten o'clock bid his lyr friends good night saying. "I am dining with friends on the Pacific Coast mt tomorrow evening. I must be on my way," your grandfather would have ry, looked upon the predictor as either a laughable romancer or a pitiable fool. Ph Well-Doolittle did it. And not many people noticed it. The whole Ki world accepted it as a little news item of passing interest. Few even noted err the item and most of those who did as quickly forgot it. o Lieutenant James H. Doolltte, U. S. Army aviator, hopped off in his s aproplane from the broad Atlantic at Pablo Beach at three minutes past ten o'clock Labor Day. At 5:34 the next afternoon (Pacific time), he stepped to out of his sky-boat at San Diego, Calif., on the Pacific. do; Doolittle stopped an hour and seven minutes at San Antonio, Texas, to i take breakfast with his wife and mother. In actual flying time, he flew ' from sea to sea in twenty-one hours and eighteen minutes. be What would grandfather, as a boy, have thought of that? Nothing more don than a passing news item of the hour now. We have grown accustomed to startling events. Some day some fellow will rise up into the heavens and sail all the way around the world. And when that day comes, even that will not amaze We once thought t a wonderful thing to talk by wire across town. Now ' we talk by wireless across the continent. lot We once thought it was a geat thing to go from New York to Buffalo in one day. Now we go from sea to sea in a day. You have seean in your school histories pictures ofi the little Colaumbus fleet, the Nina, the Pilnt and the Sant Mariau compared to the modern u oceanst liner, nearly oneafth of a mile long, accommodating thousands of passengers in the luxulry of palatial grandeur. You have seen pictures of th te tt kettlelike locomotive, the De Witt Clinton, which was the marvel of 1821 becnase It acquired the amazin speed of 15 miles an hour. You have seen the modern engine which plss a palatial Pullman faster than a mile a minute. Wonderiful changers, aren't they? The little air ship that Doollttpo lifted above the storm clouds ad sailed by compass was but the Santa Marlk railing an ueharted sky. A sky whmere great ships will follow.

Dogel Ever since the days when old Homer wrote of the hometcoming of Ulysses when his faithful old hound alone recognized him in his disguise as a beggar, there have been some of the finest bits of literature devoted to noble characteristics of dogs. Llewel lyn's faithful hound, Bill Sykes' loyal mongrel; Bayard, Baldy of Nome, Jer ry, and Michael, brother of Jerry; Pierrot, Dog of Belgium. Caesar the King's dog are just a few of the mod erns whose names come to memory out of some of the golden books. Fond as the world has always been of ,love and romance it has always been glad to turn to the book which had a real dog for its hero, partly because of the innate liking of humanity for honesty and nobility of character, and partly because of all the creatures man has domesticated the dog has the liveliest sense of humor and the highest ideal at companionship. A church reports the theft of a mir ror from its lobby. The matter wLU be looked into. Jazz may be passing, but it is still hard for a real musician to find a summer job.

WHY Ducks Are Enabled to Shed Water From Their Backs "Like water off a duck's back" is a phrase that we often use, for a duck's back is the most perfect waterproof in the world. Land birds are soon saturated by a heavy shower of rain. You may see them afterwards fluffing out their feathers so that sun and wind may I dry them. But no drop of water can I penetrate the plumage of any aquatic bird. Gulls, ducks, grebes, and core- I rants dive after food on the bleakest I days without getting either wet or t cold. These birds are provided with a nat ural mackintosh in the shape of a covering of feathers which fit tightly one on top of the other. But their plumage would not remain waterproof if they did not look after It carefully. Every feather must be greased at least once a day if it is to tarn the water. Watch a duck after its bath and yeou will see the process. The beak is pushed hard into the roots of the feathers, and then brought up to their very tips. Diving birds are provided with special glands which supply the beak with all the grease it needs. KY S WIPES GILKY SWIPES GILKY'S DIARY.

Minneapolis, Miun.-Tourists, espe. clally those from other states than Minnesota, will not be the prey of overzealous authorities in the small towns of Minnesota, who are rigidly enforcing local traffic c-odes with a zest, bent upon enhancing their own salaries or enriching the coffers of the village, If a movement started among several towns continues to spread. Vigilance committees, composed of residents of the communities, have been formed, which the tourist who has been haled into court may depend on for fair, reasonable treatment. These committees will see that too rapid jus tice will not engulf the Innocent, es pecially when the motorist happens to be a tourist from outside the state, and therefore exl.. cteflly ignorant of the traffic laws in that locality. With the tourist industry developing by rapid strides in Minnesota, the ac tion of the small town officers in strict ly enforcing petty infractions was seen as a possible deterrent and mnenacing factor to its progress, according to Perry S. Williams, manager of the Minneapolis Journal travel and resort bureau, who was instrumental In or. ganizing the first vigilance committee. "The trouble apparently threatened as a result of the fact that at many points both the constables and depu ties making the arrests and the court officer before whom the alleged of fenders must appear profited with the assessment of the fine," Mr. Williams said. "Part of the work of the vigi lance groups will be to correct this ar rangement where it exists. Efforts will be made to place such officers on a definite and increased salary basis. Also It is planned to have moneys pro cured from fines placed In road funds to help along the general work of bet tering the state highway conditions." Communities lying along the state highwa3 leading to and around Mille Lacs lake, on trunk highway No. 18, were first to organize the "vigilantes." Princeton led the way with the organl zation of a highway vigilance commit tee and similar groups are being formed at Onamls, Milaca anl Isle. Europe reports an excess of 25,00,. 000 women, mostly imported American heiresses, no doubt. The automatic telephone will rob many of their principal occupation They can't swear at it. Herbert L.
