O .(loil the Lord, fm thy Hume's siike.' llt-itime thy morcy Ih

' -, President Walter D. Scott of Northwestern University
has estimated thut every -man in the country has 175 slaves ;
working for him. By this he means that the "spread of me-j
chanized power in this country has been so great that for
. each man there is available a mechanical force equivalent to '
"that of 175 bondsmen of pre-Civil war days. His calculation
'js interesting. . The tremendous use of power and machinery
'uccoimt in large part for America's great prosperity today.
: The 175 slaves apiece thnt work for us may be invisible; but
they are highly important. The Country could never have;
tttained its present greatness on a' hand-labor basis. I
. The Pulitzer literary prizes are not the only ones given
Wilder slightly ambiguous terms. At the University of Wis
. cousin there is the Kenneth Sterling Day award which is be
stowed annually upon the student who is. of the "gi-eastest
Christian worth" to the university. The other day that
ywiiid was given to an orthodox Jew; a student of high schol
astic standing, of high a(J)letic rank, a leader of fine moral
character, a participant in many school activities. He met
the requirements' of the award "moral character, capacity
to execute practical details necessary to operation of religious
forces, capacity to influence student life for good, and concern
U'f their physical well-being" and no doubt deserved, the
honor. Those responsible for bestowing it showed their own
breadth of ideals and their broad-minded attitude toward rc-,
ligion. ' , ' l
UTTERING THE STREETS
; Just as American cities were beginning to master the art
of street-cleaning, and priding themselves on keeping their
streets neat, orderly and sanitary,. came n new' vogue for lit
tering them up again. :
New York started the fashion with its ticker-tape parties
in honor of distinguished guests. It became the regular
thing to shower tape out of the skyscraper windows whenever
, a big parade passed. Confetti was mingled with the tape
hhower, and it was a natural development for the throwers) '
when they ran short, to make their own confetti from news-'
papers, magazines, telephone directories' and lxoks. Any
thing in the nature of paper served the purpose. And since
this was the metropolitan fashion, other cities began taking
it up. Soon it may be an established national custom.
This gives grown-up citizens a good tmie. Like babies
playing on the floor, they take pleasure in tearing up paper
j.nd throwing it around. H is a restful and refreshing pas-1
time for the infantile or the weary-minded. Mental pathol-1
Ogists sometimes recommend it for patients.
'. Hut it does make work for the white-wings. On one oc
casion recently, the welcome to the liremcn aviators, the New
York street cleaning department had to gather up and cart
away 1,500 tons of paper, at a cost of many thousand dollars.
Are all of our cities destined for such orgies of disorderliness ?
And what will be the effect on children, when grown-ups
net so?

PKKING, June 1 (AP) The
families of prominent Manchurian
officials are beginning an exodus
from Peking.
Four special trains left the
northern capital for Mukdoden last
night and another four went out
tonight.
An official of the Japanese lega
tion stated today that all the pow
ers In Peking are cooperating for
the defense of the concessions with
a view to holding a line of defense
near the boundaries. - If a disor
derly mob should advance toward
the concessions, the foreign troops
may go out further to meet them
and to establish a defense line.
I Is understood that the fif
teenth American Infantry will co
operate with the other foreign
troops in the defense of the con
cessions but that the 'American
marines can be used only with hi
the foreign settlement.
There are approximately 12,000
