Yea, Bid V. S. Is Tough! If you hear a queer flapping noise up and down in the land these days, it is undoubtedly being caused by honest dthens throwing back the lids of their cyclone cellars and Sticking their heads out to learn what all the hollering is about. The combination is a presidential race which is about to break loose, a congress which has divers discordant things on its mind, and a supreme court which is swinging a big ax, has created an uproar which will probably get worse and worse untinext November arrives. So far it seems to be producing more heat than light, and more noise than heat. On the one hand we are assured that the only way to preserve the liberties of the American people is to toss the administration out, neck and crop, and install a leader of the opposite political faith. On the other hand we are assured that these same liberties liber-ties will inevitably die in agony unless the administration stays in power and keeps its foot on the neck of the opposition. oppo-sition. ' r And shuttling back and forth between these two camps we have a similar row over the supreme court. If it fails to stand firm and crack down on all unwise legislation, our liberties are as good as done for; contrariwise, if it does not stop exercising its power to nullify acts of congress, the American eagle will be caged forever. All these claims are being made, these days, by orators and nation-savers all up and down the land. It is perfectly obvious that all of them can't be right ; sooner or later, the honest citizen is apt to start wondering if any of them can be right. ' Are we, that is, in as much danger of losing our liberties liber-ties as our rival leaders seem to think? This republic has endured for more than a century and a half, and it has been through some very bad times through foreign and civil war, through boom and depression, through incompetence in high places and corruption in government, through looting by irresponsible financial pirates and indifference on the part of the electorate. It has survived the Ku Klux Klan and the Know-Nothing movement, the Populists and the Greenbackers, the Credit Mobilier and Teapot Dome. It has lived through the Abolitionist and Prohibitionist eras, the times of Jay Gould and the times of Al Capone, the California gold rush and the Miami land boom. It has taken an awful beating from every imaginable source, including its own occasional stupidity, .and it has always al-ways come back for more. In other words, it's a pretty tough country, and the liberty it prizes is one of the hardest growths on the planet. ItKs just possible that this1if)erty will survive and grow no matter who wins the next election or what happens to the supreme court. Plan Seed Loans Birthdays WASHINGTON.

ELECTRIC NOTES A small saving may be made on the monthly electric bill by throwing throw-ing away the meter and connecting connect-ing the home direct to the power line. If the refrigerator gets out of order, simply reverse the current on the electric range. Money can be savec nowadays by screwing tax tokens behind blown-out fuses, instead of pennies. pen-nies.

School Men Hear New Trends In Teaching At Convention The old concept of simply cramming cram-ming facts and figures into school students without regard to their individual needs or their character, char-acter, is going overboard, said H. A. Dixon, superintendent of the Provo schools, on his return from two educational conferences at St. Louis. Mr. Dixon, Principal J. C. Mof-fitt Mof-fitt of . the provo high school and Principal Fred Strate, of the Parker Park-er school, returned Tuesday from the conventions. They attended the National Convention of School Superintendents and the National Occupations conference. In the occupations conference, the major discussion was on the new trend toward teaching emphasis. em-phasis. Counseling and guidance of individual students was stressed. stress-ed. The teaches should enter into the life of every child, know his health and social problems and get at the roots of his funda mental needs, it was brought out.

(Van you guarantee test SlJkL SCIENCE The Board Foundation in Philadelphia Phila-delphia has developed a new metal which is lighter than any known metal, and which floats on water. Known as "lithium six," this element ele-ment is the lightest of the two isotopes is-otopes which make up ordinary lithium. All known metals, except gold, are composed of two or more similar yet different elements, called call-ed isotopes. To- be able to divide the isotopes opens the field for the production of new metals with new characteristics, many of which are needed in the fields of science, but which have never been produced. pro-duced. In this process of making "lithium six" the metal was vaporized vapor-ized at a high temperature, and the atoms of the two isotopes were separated by passing them thru a magnetic field, which completely complete-ly separated them. Dozens of children feel isolated and out of place because they don't happen to fit in the "factory" system sys-tem of schooling, the old method by which all types of characters were forced into the same mould, Mr. Dixon pointed twit. It is these children who later on create real trouble. The teacher can forestall this by finding a place for such a child and discovering his particular particu-lar capabilities and needs. ! Although admitting that the Provo schools have neither the personnel nor the number of teach ers to carry out such an individual program in its ideal form, Mr. pixcfi, Mr. Moffitt and Mr. Strate pring back ideas whereby much of this guidance can be carried on in groups.- Especially in natters of Character and moral traits, it is possible to teach " in groups through the home rooms, Mr. Plxdfc said, Students with aim-liar aim-liar interests can also be taught Iff: groups." - :' v e r t C continued rxora Fagc oat) CcmgTman Chester C. .Bolton.

Paula played bridge a great deal, lost consistently. Yet she was one of those who were bored when playing for low stakes. Scott agreed this must be the reason that Paula had ignored them lately.

(Copyright 1936, by TJnittd Feature Syndicate, Inc.) afterward, newspapers carried a story about the will. Scott read the report. "It's bard to realize there's that much money in the world," be said. "Here we are, stretching dollar bills and wondering where the rent Is coming from, and Ronnie inherits S10.0fr0.000." He added thoughtfully. "Ronnie was pretty gone on you for a while, wasn't he?" "For a while," Dana said lightly. "Ronnie fancied be had an awful crush, but you know bow rich boys are. Some other girl comes along " "Or some man comes . along." Scott 6aid slowly, "and messes things up " "Scott, will you stop being an idiot!" Dana seated herself on the arm of bis chair and rumpled bis hair. "I'm thinking what a different f kind of life you would have bad if you had married Ronnie." Scott answered thoughtfully. "No budgets. bud-gets. No computing living costs and wondering where you can cut some more. Just one long, luxurious luxuri-ous fling!" "You think that would be llv-in&7" llv-in&7" There was scorn in Dana's voice. She added lightly, "Don't forget Ronnie didn't ask me. I'd have been an old maid, probably, if you hadn't come along." "Yes you would!" Scott pulled her down into his arms, kissing her fiercely. Dana could feel his heart pounding. "Why. Scott!" she whispered, with a shaky little laugh. "I swear to you, honey, we'll come through." . he said. "I'll prove to you I'm not just a big bust. Though, God knows, 1 feel that way at times." "If you'll only Just love me always." Dana said. "I'm a silly, sentimental girl. But I'm telling you the truth. That's all I want, darling." e IN the days that followed Dr. Osborne dropped into Scott's office frequently. It happened often enough for the other doctors in the building to "perk up." as the shrewd young woman at the desk remarked to another physician's physi-cian's assistant. "And I'm here to tell you it means something when that self-sufficient self-sufficient medical king gets down from his throne and goes visiting another doctor." "They do seem friendly," the other girl admitted. "Friendly Isn't the word. Dr. Osborne's positively chummy. If 1 know my onion soup, be suspects sus-pects Dr. Stanley has something some of these other doctors don't have and that's brains!" ' Scott was pleased by the older doctor's visits., but refused to believe be-lieve It held any significance beyond a spirit of friendliness. Dr. Osborne bad said, on his last visit, "There's a small room that's practically empty adjoining my suite, Stanley If the .time comes when yqn feel cramped for space, I'd be glad to open it up for you." , 9 Scott realised the offer was being, made gratia. Ha expr eased - By George park B right Moments llf GREAT LIVES There was a time in the history his-tory of music When the violin-cello violin-cello was not regarded an a solo instrument. Jean Louis Dupont, who worked out a system of fingering fin-gering and bowing the instrument was the first real French virtuoso on the cello. Of course, at that time, the instrument was not a very beautiful piece of work and looked rough and ungainly. Voltaire, the famous French writer and statesman, heard Dupont Du-pont play at Geneva, and was so astonished when he heard him that when the soloist laid down his bow, the statesman ran up to him and said: "Monsieur, you make me believe be-lieve in miracles. You. know how to turn an ox into a nightingale!" nightin-gale!" - bis appreciation, but refused. The time wouldn't come when be wanted to be under obligations to anyone. Scott wanted to be a free man and you couldn't do that and be accepting favors. On another occasion they met outside the building, and the older physician stood for a moment talking pleasantly before climbing into bis car. He was discussing the case of a nationally known physician who bad died recently. "That's the trouble with this profession," Dr. Osborne said. "Day in and out we drive ourselves, our-selves, as though we were made of iron. Thinking there's no end to our vitality and endurance. Though, heaven knows, we say plenty to the other fellow. And then, finally, we come down with one of the wear-and-tear diseases and pass out of the picture." He added thoughtfully. "Every physician should bave an able man associated with him to share the responsibilities and burdens. But lots of us go it alone with disastrous results." SCOTT watched him walk away. Dr. Osborne's shoulders sagged slightly, as though he were weary. The old chap must be all of CO. And it must be true that his enormous enor-mous practice was proving a strain. Of course Dr. Osborne was still a good man, a brilliant man. But the day must come wben his surgical sur-gical skill would talL That was life. Lessened vitality takes a toll from even the best of men. It was a gloomy thought. Scott didn't like to think the time would ever come when be would be counted count-ed out and have to take a back seat In the profession. But then when one person dropped out it made room for some other fellow who was entitled to have his inning in-ning in the game. Suddenly a feeling of pure elation ela-tion surged through Scott Perhaps" it didn't mean anything. He wouldn't allow himself to believe be-lieve it did. But what a break tor some fellow, if Dr. Osborne should take him into partnership. What a break for himself and Dana If that fellow should be Scott Stanley! Stan-ley! It was, of course, a pipe dream, but the thought kept coming com-ing back. If only It should happen hap-pen The summer days waned, and no part of Scott's dream came true. Dr. Osborne and his wife went tor an ocean cruise. Other doctors doc-tors and their wives took vacations in the mountains or at the sea side. Paula, and most of her crowd departed during, the worst part of. the beat and came back looking tanned from weeks of outdoor lite. Bat. though Paula had a deep coat of tan and chatted expansively expansive-ly about thrilling times, there had been no lifting of the shadows in her eyes. Then came the day Dana was to remember as the blackest ot her life the day Scott was to remem ber as his most dismal.
