A glance at the program indicates that it is up to the usual high standard and that many brilliant and interesting attractions will be enjoyed by our people during the week.

The mere acquisition of facts and information may make a man inform ed. but unless those facts apply to what he undertakes they do not in crease his power. You may learn all the intimate facts about all Kings, of England withont ed. THAT there is no reason why it should be. THAT citizens should never toler ate the idea of indifference. THAT people who are indifferent to the home city are not needed there. THAT indifferent people bar pro gress. THAT they are nonprogressive. THAT they hold back prosperity. THAT it is a crying shame to ha e many of that class in a city. THAT it takes a sudden shock to awake an indifferent person. THAT often they can be made live ones. THAT often it is done by selling the home city to them, making them realize what a wonderful city they live in. THAT this knowledge often makes them live, living, active part of the home city. No citizen who is well sold on. the home city can be indifferent to its needs and ambitions. CAN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS? It is not a had idea to give yourself a little careful thought and attention now and then. It is not a bad idea for those who are snug and contented, self-centered and selfish to discover that fact, and to turn over in their minds their personal objectives. Half of the world wonders how the other half lives, and why and what for. The Memphis Commercial Appeal asks a few questions in this editorial, that may suggest a line of profitable thought to those who rear! it: “Are you unconsciously close, cold, clammy and selfish? Do you im agine or bel'eve you are doing your duty when in fact you are not? Or are you consciously penurious, studi ously refusing to listen to the call of obligation, important with righteous appeal and deliberately miserly, in different to misfortune, close, cold, and contemptible? “Are you daily overlooking the ut ter absence of real love in your heart? “Do you find pleasure in laying up treasure and at the same time sat- sifying conscience by giving a pittance to the church and the poor? “Are you quite content with losing much at bridge and other gambling, spending lavishly upon luxilries, buy-1 ing generously of non-essentials, even I contributing richly to bootleggers for, booze, indulging extravagantly your self and those you love, satisfying quite fully your every selfish desire for pleasure and then giving compar- 1 atively a penny to mollify misfortune of fellowmen, women and children? “Have you ever considered and com pared your contributions for luxuries, non-essentials and pleasure with your contributions to alleviating human pain and distress?

It may make it easier to live with yourself, but it will not increase your power. * " Barrie has a play about a yacht full of educated people which goes aground upon an uninhabited island. The only man who knows what to do is the uneducated butler. He builds a shelter and hunts for food while the others stand helpless. What little education he had was of a practcial sort that applied to the needs of the moment. He had power because his knowl edge applied there. In a drawing room conversation the others would have had power because their knowl edge fitted the needs of that situa tion. Those who speak of the failure of education make the mistake of think ing that power is the only end of knowledge. Knowledge is of three kinds. There is knowledge that gives pow er; knowledge that gives culture; knowledge that gives wisdom. Knowledge is like the food we take into our systems. Part of this food | goes to make flesh, part to make blood and part goes to make the structure of the bones. So only a part of knowledge goes to make power. Some men without any broad education attain positions of great eminence because the narrow- range of their information is all prac- tiial and applicable to their work. Another part of knowledge feeds culture. It gives interests and ideas and appreciations that make men’s lives more enjoyable and full. And another part of knowledge gives wisdom. It builds self-control and understandings - A min may be powerful like Alexander the Great, or cultured like Oscar Wilde, and know not the meaning of wisdom. And as Durant, using the popular adage loosely, says: “Knowledge is pewer, but only wisdom is liberty. — Pupils of High -School To Present “Cousins” In Florida Street School Auditorium.

Hogrefe Leapt* Almost Twenty- four Feet In Broad Jump. The Carolina Gamecocks were no match for the Presbyterian college track aces here Saturday afternoon. The Blue Hose easily triumphed by an 88 to 46 score. The meet was run off under difficulties, as a vicious wind whipped the track already pitted with holes by Friday’s hailstorm. De spite these handicaps the spectators were rewarded by some good work on , the part of both teams and before the close of the meet they had the pleas ure of .seeing one state, record smash-1 ed to smithereens. Hogrefe, P. C. j dash ace and broad jumper par excell ence, did the record breaking. After taking both the 100- and 220-yard dasher, he took advantage .of the strong wind at his back to sail through the ozone for a distance of 23 feet, 11 1-4 inches. On two other occasions he leaped well of 23 feet. Wilson of P. C., by taking first in the javeline and second in the broad jump and discus, H was second high scorer of the day. , U P. C. took 11 first places and Caro lina three, with a tie between Shand of Carolina and Robinson of P. C., in the high jump. Only in the 440, the discus and pole vault did the visitors succeed in taking first, while P. C. took the first three places in two events, the half mile and the javelin. Next to Hogrefe’s record-breaking performance; Captain Timmons of the Blue Stockings, with a time of 16 1-2 seconds in the high hurdles, turned in the best individual performance. Pearce of P. C., was the harjl luck guy of the day. He had a 9-yard lead 1 in the low hurdles when he stumbled and fell at.the tape, allowing two run-' ners to pass him. Mr. Merchant?

Of course, in the great majority of instances, they are wrong, as most non-profes sional diagnoses are. Hardened arteries are almost as common to advanced age as is gray hair When I discover hardening of the arteries in a patient over 65 years of age, and of normal build, I advise him to forget it. By “norma! build” I mean one who has not accum ulated abnormal weight, with conse quently burdened heart.
