Water flowing over the edge has formed a thick coating of ice at this place to make the spot a distinct traffic hazard. Something should be done by the. city officials, offic-ials, now, before any lives are lost at this point. One car is coming eastward across this intersection. Another car comes from the east preparing to turn south. The signal light is clear-for both drivers but neither knows of the presence of the other on account of the obstruction of the view by the fountain. They jam on the brakes, but the slippery ice underneath makes stopping impossible and both cars are smashed. . ' Some day that fountain will be removed. Until such a step is made the water could at least be turned off to avoid adding still more dangers to an already perilious situation. Breaking a It came as, something of a lern that Dwight Morrow's class at Amherst College, many years ago, picked him as the student ''most likely to succeed" suc-ceed" in later years. N , v That came as a shock because most college classes make such woefully wrong guessesr They predict success for some youth who is destined to become, a shoe-string salesman and remain one to the e'nd of his days ; and if one of their number num-ber has in him the stuff to win fame and fortune they are almost al-most certain to overlook it. ,' ' Indeed, as a general thing no worse omen can be cast uoon a youno; man's prospects than for his classmates to pick him as the one most likely to succeed. But they guessed right on Mr. Morrow. . Are Amherst students sharper than most ? ' v Two Other Fellows. Prnhnhlit One of the strangest arguments in history is the never- dying feud over theJauthorship.4Kf-Shakespeares---or Bacoirs plays. The mild debate over authorship of our own American Ameri-can Declaration of Independence never attained anything like the prominences of the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy. v A gentleman has just bobbed up in California-of all places ! with "irrefutable evidence." that Bacon wrote the play. But, in a few weeks, somebody in Bombay or Batavia will come, forward with equally irrefutable evidence on' the other side. . - " . x We don't suppose it matters much, but if you want our personal : opinion in the controversy, it wasn't Shakespeare and Bacon at all, but two other fellows: 1 '. .
