He is probably unaware that the average undergraduate can learn more from ) pony than from some of his professors. But even if this were not the case, the fact that polo is as necessary an adjunct to the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps of a university as itis to West Point, that the mounts used are part of the equipment supplied by Uncle Sam to R.

More or less in consequence we are fast becoming machines ourselves both in theught and personality with propagandists turning the levers that guide us. What we need is a greater familiarity with the associates that Nature has supplied and all that that implies of shrewdness and kindliness and individ- uality. Of those who live with horses there is none whose nerves are not benefited thereby, whose sense of humor and insouciance are not heightened, who doesn’t learn to look with greater leniency and understanding on. his fellow mortals. No one. we venture to say, who has ever really known a hors: can become a complete convert to Babbittry.

There have been flashes of July womanhood, followed almost immediately by lapses into the infancy of March, but on the whole the progress toward maturity has been steady, though slow, slow enough to permit us to relish a little longer than usual the youth of the year, to watch it unfold its charms bit by bit in an orderly sequence, unhurried by the demands of business. Only the slow in maturing ripen to perfection. This is as true of seasons as it is of fruits and persons.

Cracked Isolation ny is an irreconcilable? To begin with, he is a politician secking votes. But he is also a human being with an obscure grudge (we all have them) who believes hopefully that he can get the votes and satisfy the grudge in one operation. It can be demonstrated, we believe, that most, if not all, irreconcilables are Anglophobes who can see in the League of Nations and the World Court a deep-laid British scheme to commit America to British designs. But many of them have in addition grudges of a more personal and private nature. Thus LaFollette hates anything that he didn’t start himself, and Hiram Johnson could hardly accept with complacency a thing for which Charles Evans Hughes stood. Similarly. the fact that Hoover as well as Hughes is behind the proposal ter the World Court would be enough for Reed, of Mis- ven if he didn’t consider the British to be his natural enemies. And of course Woodrow Wilson's identification with the League, and therefore with the World Court, causes Henry Robot Lodge to break into a violent reservation. Hitherto these gentlemen hav able to count on the farmer vote and the Irish vote and the German vote for sup- port. But now the farmers think international co-nperation may restore them their foreign markets, and the Irish are planning to enter the League of Nations themselves, and the Germans have had their fill of Allied division. So the irre- concilables seem to be left high and dry. So dry, in fact, that their latest plan is to fashion a scare- crow out of the possibility that, if we enter it, the World Court will review the provisions of the Volstead Act regarding ships Gosh, do you suppose to souri, € and liquor and the three-mile limit. there’s any hope of that? comicbooks.com
