Washington, D. C.—Coventors and
mayors throughout the country were
asked by (‘resident Harding, in a pub
lic statement Monday, to organize in
each community machinery for the
correction of economic conditions
along lines worked out by the unem-
pioyment conference here.
The conference, the president de
clared, had demonstrated that condi

out such local co-operation. He an
nounced that a central agency would
be maintained here under auspices of
the conference to give national co
ordination to the rehabilitation effort.
The president's statement follows:
“ The conference which I recently
summoned to Washington to advise
as to the unemployment situation has
demonstrated that an unusual volume
of unemployment exists and that,
pending the recuperation of trade, the
situation cannot be met, in due regard
to our obligations and necessities,

EDISON QUESTIONS
E d is o n , who has a
very low opinion of the intel
lectuality of the average college
student, lias come out with a new
set of questions, historical, political,
geographical and scientific.
The Wlznrd is much too honest a
man for anybody to suggest thnt he
deliberately got up these posers for
the purpose of humiliating his fellow
citizens.
So it may be admitted that the
wide ground covered by the queries
represents his iwn Interest In all sorts
of subjects having to do with human
activities.
But it Is doubtful whether or not
atdlity to answer correctly all or most
of these questions could be any test of
the intelligence of anybody. In col
lege or out of it. For Intelligence and
knowledge are very different things.
It was once said of a distinguished
man that he had a larger store of
useless knowledge than anybody of
Ids time. Mr. Edison would not nd-
mlt that any knowledge could be use
less.
In fact he seems to take the atti
tude of the late Lord Macaulay who
was in the habit of qualifying a state
ment as to something thnt nobody
knew anything about but himself, by
saying “ as every schoolboy knows.”
As a result “ Macaulay's Schoolboy”
became the proper definition of an in
fant prodigy.
laird Kelvin wns one of the most
distinguished men of science of his
time.
Addressing Ids students at
Glasgow University on one occasion
he said that the great thing about
the higher mathematics was that It
could tie of no possible use to any
body.
Yet the fact that Kelvin and a
couple of Ids friends, one In America
and another in Europe, used to
amuse themselves with these useless
Investigations, Is, In a way. an argu
ment In fuvor of Mr. Edison. It goes
to show thnt certain things are worth
while even If no direct advantage Is
to be derived from them.
Old-fashioned schoolmasters were
great lielievers in the Importance of
facts, and a great part of their time
was passed In getting them Into the
minds of the young.
But tlie modem schoolmaster goes
about his business In a different way.
He does not try to teach facts. He
does try to teach general principles.
It is like the difference between the
old geography and the new.
Tlie old dealt with the names of
places, rivers, mountains and so on.
Tlie new deals with the effect of the
physical shape of the earth's surface
on the races scattered over It.
A well-trained lawyer is not one
who carries all the eases nronnd with
him In his head. But be does know
how to put hi» hand on anything he
wants.
In the same way It is more Im
portant to he able to get at your
facta than to know them.

UNICE, like Evangeline, Is one of
the “glad” names In the lexicon
of feminine cognomens. Like
Evangeline also, it comes from tlie
Greek word meaning well, or happy.
Eunice Is translated to mean “ happy
victory."
Because of its significance, the
Greek word from which Eunice was
derived, wns taken over in early times
by the Christians, who adored names
of happy augury. The names coming
from this favorite word are almost be
yond enumeration, hut curiously, only
a few of them have survived to mod

Eunice Is one of these latter. It
made its aiqearance as Eunike one of
the fifty Nereids. Her name straight

women, hut It remained for Eunice,
the Jewish mother of Timothy to give
It vogue in the days of early Chris
tianity.
English lovera of Bible
names have favored It for centuries.
• nd It Is still popular in all the coun

adapted to English and American
usage.
