There are colleire scholarships AND college scholarships Rut. these Harvard national scholarships are the "tops" in that field, not only for this country, but for the entire .vorld. IN the first place they are awarded on a nation-wide competi tive basis, under the most stringent regulations, and dc- mandinir conditions, to those young men only, who impress the entrance committee as being tho best college material, available. Not only must the successful applicant pass an extremely stiff scholastic test, but ho has to qualify in the general direction ol' character, not only moral character, but those attributes of haracter that are needed for success in later lite, evidences oi ndustry, determination, purpose, dependability, and pleasing personality. - - a N the second placo these scholarships are the most generous of the kind iu the educational world, they provide not a portion of the student's expenses, but all of them, amounting in tho case of Harvard to between $1000 and $1200 per year. The theorv behind this which is an entirely sound one is that the EXCEPTIONAL young man seeking a college education should have an opportunity to concentrate upon his education and not be forced to dissipate his time and energies in collat eral pursuits, necessitated by , self-support. INALIjY these Harvard national scholarships are the most coveted of all college scholarships, for" they not only give the student maximum financial assistance, but a wealth of op portunity, both in academic and cultural directions, which can't be surpassed anywhere in tho United States. A young man can't reside in the Hoston-Harvard section of this country tor four years and not IMBIUE certain things which will be of val ue to'him all his life, even though he may not, get all that could be obtained from his class room and his books. HE Mail Tribune takes a certain pride in Henselman's suc cess, for he has been a carrier boy on this paper for a number of years where he displayed the Bame energy, alert ness and persistence, which has brought him success in the realm of education. It is always gratifying to this puper to see its young news boys succeed in later life, and we might add that the Mail Tribune, is mnking quite a name ior useii, in ui direction. No doubt some will question the wisdom of saying all this iihiiiil such a vountr man, as Roger, he might acquire an in flated ego. For after all, winning a scholarship be it Harvard or anywhere else, gratifying as it is, is not of I1ISTOK1C im portance, does not mark an arrival anywhere, but merely an ininortant station on the highway of opportunity. There may be a danger there of course. But we are not wor rvinir. In the first place we know something about the young man and his background, but even more important perhaps, wc know MORE about the place where he is going. . And wc can say this with the greatest emphasU. there is no better place in all the world to undergo a wholesome de flationary process if one should be needed, and cain a sane. and noeunite perspective of the world and one s sell m n man in the little old town of Cambridge, Massachusetts! K that as it niav this outstanding success by a Medford lad aha!) predomin ate there. Not only milk and milk pro duct (fresh or sweet or fer mented or our) and carbohydrate food (starch and sugars) help to mnlntaln the de sired acid as cendancy but the mineral element in the diet have a good deal to do with It and must be considered as factors In the pre vention of diseases due to activity of putrefactive bacteria In the colon. Albino rata have an intestinal iiora much like man's. In experiments In feeding rats It has been found that a diet perfect In other respects but poor In Inorganic salt, fans to main tain an acid state in tn. intestine. But when the Inorganic salts were added to the feed, the rata soon show ed a marked preponderance of the acid type of fermentation and a di minution of putrefactive decompo sition In the Intestine. If the otherwise perfect diet was supplemented with sodium, potas sium and chlorine, calcium alone or phosphorus alone, the ecld state of the intestine could not be maintain ed. But when calcium and phosphor us together were added to the feed a marked predominance of acid type of lactic fermentation was maintain ed and the putrefactive type of bac terlB (bacillus coll communis or col on baclllu and enterococcus types disappeared from the colon. This means to Indicate that an adequate Intake of calcium and phosphorus -Is essential, as well as milk and carbohydrate, to the vlg orous growth of the ncld forming bacteria In tho Intestine It was observed furtlier that when the feed lacked calcium and phos phorus the rste of growth of the rats was retarded below tho normal rate of growth. I remind readers that when cal clum and phosphorus are deficient in the diet, as is the case In many Instances, the Intestinal acidity of health is not malntalneo and putre factive bacterial activity is favored.

The a.-T., with unholy glee. Is trying to pry a knife between the i ribs of the M.-T., one of the orlg- lnal new deal newspapers which has j had a difficult time sticking with the administration when It has de- manded court packing, dictatorial reorganization of departments and the election of Its congressional yes men. The M.-T. seems to have the best of the G.-T. when It says "politics Is a very simple matter to the un compromising G.-T., with which there are no shades, no overtones, no , twilight zones." The M.-T. Is not, however, exactly correct In that statement. The G.-T. supports the best men so far as Us knowledge goes, but It Is careful to have no acquaintances In the democratic party. The O.-T. laughs at the predica ment In whlob the M.-T. found itself when It supported Governor Martin and at the same time' the national administration whose ef forts defeated the M.T.'s guberna torial candidate. Tlie M.T., takes the kidding a lot better than anyone can imagine a kidding being taken by the G.T. edited by C. Eugene Ingalls the state's brightest satirist Tho M.-T. admits the republicans have good reason for laughing and should plan on having one of the best times of their lives. The M.-T. correctly says the G.-T. will have no truck with less than 100 percent republicans. As a mat ter of fact the G.-T. believes the percentage should be somewhat higher. The M.-T., on t he ot h er hand, doesn't Insist on 100- percent democrats. It gives the Impression that 70 percent, or passing grade. Is sufflcent. In fact It can see some good In republicans In whom the percentage doesn't run too high. Those who sometimes vote for dem ocrats seem to be preferred. The G.-T. should not be too crit ical tn lambasting the M.'T. The latter seems to be slipping, and tlie O.-T. knows we should be greatly pleaded to have that brilliantly edited paper In the republican fold After all the discussion, the O.-T and M.-T. seem not to have defin itely pointed to the rvsom for the defeat of General .Martin. Of ccuise. the little mat r of some 7.000 votes was a contributing factor, but the crnernl seems to have failed to attack at the right points, then when the aerial attack and nas bar rages had him confuted he with drew his. forces from the points at which he was winning. This vacil lation destroved the morale of the republican volunteers, who had been cruel than man.

As things tand . cer tificate of solvency from the ICC Is required before a road can get loan. This restriction would be lift-' ed by the bill. And thus the federal government would be graciously al lowed to take a first mortgago on most of the national railroad system. Even this muddle-headed stop-gap Is Inextricably entangled In a mesh of contradictory Interest. The rail road managements want It, railroad labor did want It, until the manage ments threatened a wage cut. Now labor la holding up the bill In order to club the managements out of the wage cut. And meanwhile the bill's sponsors are wabbling nervously to and fro: Senator Wheeler of Montana. chalrmnn of the Interstate commerce committee, who desires to "put the railroads tnrougn tne wringer, is i t rubbing. his hands with delight, and I ffcv the president Is sedulously Imitating ; rlWT the ostrich. There Is no use trying to blink the seriousness of the railroad prob lem. For example, one of the best known roads In the country, whosx president Is probably the most re spected Individual In the business, must meet monthly Interest payments totaling 33.000.0O0 this yar. Through a much-crltlclred ICC cer tification, the RFC ha already ad vanced this road .8 000 000 this year The moment he heard of It. Senator Wheeler raised unshtrted hell In tne senate. Now the chances are that the RFC will not be able to g'-e more money to the road. As It Is not earn ing a cent or Its fined charges, ir Is a pressing question whether the rod can survive It July payment. And this Is by no means an Isolated case. Even the were The entire ecomontc structure of the country Is Involved tn the rail road ultuatton.
