The question asking fad has spread over the
nation and many newspapers are publishing lists
of such queries. Many people who have a reputation
for learning and wisdom often Util on fairly easy
questions, and the ordinary run of people find them
selves even more lacking in the possession of such
exact knowledge.
In spite of thé vast increase in our moderù
facilities for imparting information, there is a
question as to whether people are better informed
than in former years. Ever since the newspapers have
been circulated largely, it has been easywfor people
to become intelligent o n . subjects of general in
formation, and a great many people have taken
pride in being “ well posted.”
A great many persons who have college degrees
have extremely hazy information on questions of
general intelligence, while a large number who had
little education but have become regular news
paper readers, can pass such an examination with
credit. If people make it their regular daily habit
to read newspapers they will be well informed. If
they just skim over the suKace of these newspapers
and read the headlines only, or are mostly interest
ed in the sports and the fashions, they will common
ly have to confess their ignorance when people put
questions up to them.
Thé man or woman who can answer quetsions of
general intelligence has a tool of great value with
which to work one’s way in the world. People get
in (he habit of coming to such ones with this or
that question, and they look up to them with respect,
and such folks standia, hotter chance of obtainihg
influential and lucrative opportunities. We have a
lot of such folks here in Ashland and they will sgy
that the effort to obtain general intelligence has
brought them many awards.

The motorist watches with the keenest care the
purring of his engine. If it skips or misses, or fails to
“ pick up” property, he is keenly sensitive to its
failures. He is very much interested1 in its going
side.
But if it fails to stop properly, if its brakes are
worn or defective, so that they do not respond to
his foot pressure, he is apt to be. quite tardy in
taking it to a repair shop.
It is important to the public that the stopping
side of that car shall be at least as efficient as the
going side. The public is not endangered by the
missing and skipping of his cylinders, but if the
car chn’t be stopped within a reasonable distance,
it is a public menace.

American Forest Week
This week has been appointed as American
Forest Week. Everyone who desires to own a home,
or who pays rent, should be interested, because
the occupancy of a home lias been made more ex-
pensivc hy the waste of forest resources.
Something can be done to save such resources
as arc left, by adequate protection against forest
fires. But the most important step is for conftnun-
ities to plant forest trees on land that coaid easily
grow them, but which is not well adapted for farm
ing.

More Conflict About Coal
Whichever party may be considered to blame
for the strike in the central competitive bituminous
„coal fields, such an event is a misfortune and must
tend to hurt business. The country reach its highest
„levels of prosperity only when the industries are
• operated in a regular way. Any such shut down,
whether for good cause or not, destroys the pur
chasing ;>ower of many tlrausands of families..
This conflict may eventually lead to a better
adjustment in the coal industry, but meanwhile a

-there is a waste of productive power. It is like
