Are you?" .Yes ; The Statesman, or at least the writer hereof, believes that the United should have.accepted the invitation to send delegates to the Genoa conference: t : 1 When, on that 1898 first day of May, under the order of President McKinleyV Admiral Dewey sailed into Manila bay and sunk the Spanish fleet, the United States became a world power; and this country should ; maintain its -proper and rightful place in the family of nations ? i And the "writer has been all this time out of sympathy with the "little Americans" who would have the United ' States maintain a position aid attitude of exclusiveness and aloofness towards the affairs of the great world of which our ? country is a part and ought ta play its part in a spirit of sympathy to and helpfulness of all peoples. 1 The writer was not in sympathy with the bunk of the .1 "anti-imperialists" of the days after the Spanish-American war, carried on down by trimmers of both political parties, "( and still affecting injuriously the interests of both the : Filipinos themselves -and of the Americans on the islands andathomew ' . k The writer believes the United States should have joined i the League of Nations, either' without reservations or with I any one of a dozen sets of reservations; believes this country ;, will finally join the League of Nations, if, without our help and support, that body shall continue to-functioirand func tion efficiently to be the agency for good in the world which ' it would most surely be with the active participation of our : country as a member, and not as a silent partner in some of ; its activities, or as a rank outsider merely looking on and giving advice.- ,' ', ; " i t -, . .: x The Genoa conference may or may not do a great deal of , good; but its chances of doing a vast amount of good would i be 'enhanced if the United States had representatives there, and not merely an observer from the outside in the person of Embassador to Italy Child, -who is supposed to runup from Rome from time to time and see how the conference is '; getting along.', .-Af'cft-f Vf .v' f' c If the United States had sent representatives to Genoa, they could have exercised their judgment as to proposing to v commit their country to any sort of policy ; And had this .been done, and our representatives had ; agreed to some specific things tor be done or to refrain from ;-. doing, nothing would have been binding without the ratifica tion of the United States Senate.

We were "too proud to fight" in the World war for many months; but this attitude did not save us from the final participation that events forced upon us. Finally, we were not too proud to fight, and we should never be too proud or exclusive to participate in the active affairs of the world of which we are a part. The Salem district has a new world record Jersey cow, Lad's Iota, at Independence. Of the five highest record Jersey cows, Oregon has four. There are eight classifications in the list of Jersey cows, and Oregon now holds seven of the world record cows ; Massachusetts holding the other one. . We have the greatest Jersey cows in the world because we have the greatest cow country, the greatst dairy-country, in the world. ' All set at Genoa. All the dele gates are recognized, and now they are ready to get down to bus iness. v Iota is the name oi the world's greatest Jersey cow. That's Greek for the letter 1. Or a jot. But this Jot is the biggest thing in the Jersey world. - "President Harding nas" asked Secretary Hoover to remain in his cabinet and not accept the post of director of the Philadelphia sesqut-centennial. He was offer ed $100,000 a year for five years. This Is the day of big pay for big men who do big things. . Former Got. Cox will not al low the people to forget him. He is "assailing" and "condemning.' It would seem that a man who was skinned to the tune of 7,000,000 majority of the popular Tote ought to betake himself to the halls of silence. The Salem district has had the greatest Jersey cow in the world. Now there is still a greater. And of course the greater Jersey cow has been produced- In the Salem district. Just as the one to beat the record . of the present cham pion will be produced here. And so on down the line. France says that the demand of the United. States for that 241f 000,000 for expenses in occupy ing the Rhine country is entirely proper, but that the question is, who Is to pay it. If France were alone to decide she would likely say that England ought to "come across. Paper la the World start their club, "The trouble with ns." Hi was saying. Via that we Just talk. We ought to "DO something!" "Well," Jack replied, -what do you think we ought to do?" "You said the other day your dad would let us use the attic space over the garage. If we could get a little money and buy some chairs, and put up a trapeze and thing, we could start it, and charge fellows a dime to Join, and charge dues and maybe make & little money." "I'll tell you. Hi. let's start right now and see if we can't get some money today, and tomorrow is Saturday, and we can work all day on the club!" v- JaCk had always, disliked work ing and his first thought was to ask his father for the money. Then he realized that he had ask ed for a lot lately, and decided to consult mother before dad came home from work; - "Jack," his mother said, "you must realize that; business is ter ribly poor just now, and I don't th'nk it would be fair to you to ask your father -for more money now, do you? Why don't yon try to earn enough to get the things you want? Mrs. Young was telling me today that she wished she could get some one to mow her lawn for her, and she' said she would pay seventy-five cents to have it done." Jack thought a minnte about the club, and his face brightened. "Why, mother, I think E could do It yet today, I'm going to try.'V Jack hurried Oer f to Mrs. Young and was soon srtarted on his work." He finished jfust before sundown; , Mrs. Young s gave him a dollar for hurrying, a&d said he could have the job for (good if he wanted It : v . I t'So that was how Jack earned the money to start his ,lnb going. and after .that there Mr as never a week that he didn't earn a dollar or more by mowing Iatrns, and, as THE EMOTIONS AXD A MACHINE - Scientists are developing deli cate mechanisms that register brain power and the emotions.

Now the colleges are putting in apparatus by which the brains are tested to indicate the vocational bent. The machine can tetr wheth er the boy is going to be a plumb er or a zoologist. At one univers ity the machine picked out the class orchestra. It spotted the best piccolo player out of a flock of forty candidates. Even In the dark it can put its sensitive hand on the ablest snare drummer. A boy may go to college with the idea of doing the Daniel Webster stuff, but if the machine indicates his prowess in finance he can take a short cut and become the world's greatest prune merchant in a few years Instead of wasting time do ing any Demosthenes- stunt by the sad sea waves. The apparatus tells whether the subject has the soul and touch of a skilled pool player or is merely a second rate ukulele performer. The , device classifies the alert mind. By a series of experiments the activities of the brain are analyzed. There is a synchronization of hand and intellect. If the human touch be delicate enough to pick out the ace in the dark the apparatus will tell the tale. It will be a fine thing when the magnate sends his son to the university to have a mach ine that can tell him at once whether the lad is going to ex cel at crlbbage or golf. LVCK IN INVENTIONS i, Tho claim made by Dr. Alex ander Graham Dell, in a recent interview, that he had employed the principle of wireless transmis sion of sound, in a crude way, while he was busy aout the de velepoment of the telephone many years ago, recalls the happy ac cident by which Dr. Beir had stumbled upon the invention of the telephone some years before that. It also emphasizes the fact that the . "discoverer" of a new scientific principle is, in the eyes of the world,; not necessarily, the man who first happens upon it, but the man who develops and perfects it. Dr. Bell, who was originally an optician, was experimenting with a mechanical diaphragm to vibrate ia the ear and enable the deaf to hear. He happened to get two of these diaphragms on either end of a 'wire, and suddenly discovered that he had hold of something much bigger than the thing he than Jrott J022tte N November 10, 1921, the 30 x 3Vz "Usco" was marked to sell for $10.90. .This odd and closely figured price was the lowest quotation ever made on any tire of known standards, A genuine pioneering step by the makers of U. S. Tires. Now comes a lot of different $10.90 tires being rushed into the market. "Special" tires. "New" treads. Unfamiliar to look at with perhaps an atmosphere of having been made to meet the price. But the "Usco" still occupies a place by itself.

He forsot all about his deaf clients and set about perfecting the telephone. It is interesting to note, in passing, that Samuel F. B. Morse, the in ventor of the first practical tel egraph, a distant relative of Dr. W. B. Morse or Salem, was not a scietnist. but an artist and port rait painter. It is, indeed, re markable how much the advance ment of science has been indebted to the chance hits of men who had no training that would fit them for scientific research. This its largely due, of course, to the fact that the scientist is Inclined to become too much the slave of proved theories. One must have imagination "to do the thing that can't be done" or that never was done before. Ia Christopher Columbus, of course, the bump of Imagination was highly developed; and it must be remembered that what he imagined he was going to dis cover was a new route to India He builded better than he knew. Although Colonel E. L. Drake, who sunk the first successful oil well in this country in 1859, de liberately set out to find oil, it Is more than probable that petro- leum was first discovered by some one looking for water. There were oil wells in Echigo, Japan, several hundred years ago, and as long ago as the seventh cen tury A.D., the product was known as "burning water." The discov ery of the value of natural gas may also have been an accidental outcome of the development of the oil industry. Any one given to the search for curious information might con ceivably turn up a sizable list of accidental discoveries in many fields; and probably the depart ment of chemistry would assay the highest percentage of happy chance. A STRONG OLD MAX : The case for vigorous athletic training, outdoor life and scrupu lous avoidance of artificial stimu lants as a recipe for a long and healthy life is strengthened by the record of Dr. William E. Crockett, who has Just died at Boston at the-ge of 88 years. And he did not die of old age. He was found unconscious at his home, with the gas flowing from an open) jet. Ap parently the wind had blown out the gas while he slept. Dr. Crockett's example was too tttelOSS USCOis toettteir standby on millions of cars for years. Better than it ever was.

When he was 85 years old he was still boasting that he could swim' across the bay, could "put up" a 30-pound dumbell 385 times, could walk 23 miles in six hours and seven minutes. and Could get up at 5 o'clock in the morning on the cold est winter day and walk seven miles, clad n light apparel. Nor does it appear that he was com pelled to modify this program during the past three years. What is one man's, meat is an other man's poison, yet., it is of interest for the record that the doctor, on his own testimony, never used intoxicating' liquor or, tobacco, rarely ate meat, and hab itually spent five hours a day in the open air. . It is also said that almost every day for th.e past 25 years he took a plunge in the ocean, sometimes through a hole chopped in the Ice. Tris last Item may spoil his Case for the inland tenderfoot who shivers at contact with the salt sea in mid-August, but it completes a picture of the sort of a human animal which ev en the effete 20th century cannot spoil if nature's endowment is wisely husbanded.
