June 2. Beer drinkers wti ctrcrted the Yorkville to ually with the Hoboken brew have drifted back again and Yorkville is merry with the table tipping of bfe-deJs and iit of Gormau aor'g. The section ix the Eigiilie and is wide epen. Yoikviile for yeas has been a German district, and before prohibition was the home of workers employed in the various breweries abounding there. With the national drought, Yorkville life aecm-ed to stagnate with relancholy.

Entire blocks became vacant store rooms. Old men and their bausfraus sat about on cheerless front stoops sighing for other days. Then about two years ago came a renaissance. In one block alone ther opened a dozen hoffbraus and rathskellers featuring deep drinking mugs mottoed mats and German dishes. There were singing waiters, mechanical pianos and song leaders who led patrons in the collective singing of old songs.

Broadway flocked there after the play. Then some of the places began to "needle the beer a process of injecting ether into prohibition brew. Those who participated in the merry evening awakened with thumping headaches and accompanying groans. Acht du lieber! About thu time Hoboken with its wide open saloons, German restaurants and the old time melodrama made its sweeping bow. Yorkville once more suffered the pangs of engulfment.

Everybody set fort to see the Christopher Morley experiment in Jersey, tank up on a foaming stein and hiss villians in "After Dark or Neither Maid, Wife nor Widow. Morley and his cohorts were on way to enormous riches. Then something happened to Hoboken. just as it often happens to pleasure haunts springing up so quickly these days. Revenue officers began to tighten up the merry making.

Patrol wagons clanged through streets. Bo the pendulum swung back. And Yorkville got the beer guzzling crowds again. The New Education -Law Two By GLENN i RANK President of University of Wisconsin and Famous Editor This week I am trying to state some of the laws that seem to me to underlie a thoroughly modern education, discussing one of these laws each day. The first law is that we learn by action rather than by absorption, as I argued in detail yesterday.

The second law is that learning is specific rather than general. The old theory that we could "train our mind by studying certain things, and that this "training would show itself in the way we thought and acted about all other things has been rather completely exploded by the researches of our modern psychologists. We used to think that by learning to think accurately in mathematics, let us say, we learned also how to think accurately in politics. We used to think that studying a foreign language was such good mental training in accuracy of observation and other good qualities that it was necessary to study foreign languages whether we ever used them afterward or not. 4 We used to think that studying the sciences in college would make us scientific in our thinking about all the medley of problems that would later arise in our professions and lives.

We did not worry greatly when the curriculum of our college was criticized on the grounds that it made us study so many things that seemed to have no particular connection with our current lives. We were training our minds and it did not matter greatly on what sort of material we trained them. That was technically known as the law of the ransfer of training. We now know that very little automatic transfer of training takes place. We have seen distinguished scientists, who think with astounding accuracy inside the laboratory, become sheer sentimentalists and dogmatic partisans in politics.

We have seen experts in languages display infantile minds outside their specialism. We know that the best education consists in learning what we need and in the form in which we need it, (Copyright, McClure Newspaper Syndicate) will show anxiety over minor details and be insistent upon sudden benefits. But on sober second thought all of us know that the processes of progress must move at 'a varied rate. The tempo must change occasionally. It is vital only to know that the fundamentals are sound.

The purpose of the review above is to indicate reasons for believing that in Northeast Louisiana at least the fundamentals are as sound, and as promising, as any man could wish. We do not see any cause for hurly-burly optimism which has no real significance. But on the other hand, there is no room for the pessimism. which would create a discouragement that the facts decidedly do not warrant. -2 DAILY RADIO PROGRAM Sign in the window of an all night mission on the Bowery: "If you must carry a chip on your shoulder get a job in a lumber yard.

Northeast Louisiana Assets Are Increasing IN VIEW of statistics showing that beyond question the whole country is caught in the backwash of the speculative orgy which ended last autumn, the average citizen is given the choice of being merely hopeful or plainly pessimistic. We find that on every hand there is a tendency to face the situation frankly.

The people have had more than enough of the sort of optimism which disregards truth entirely, simply to create a surface show of confidence and enthusiasm. What are the actual facts related to our own immediate flection? Do we possess any advantages which other sections do not enjoy? Are there any substantial reasons for believing that the trend of development is to continue upward? Northeast Louisiana possesses great natural gas fields which are in an unusually fortunate location, fhe gas itself is of unusually high quality. While pipe lines remove the appearance of isolation, nevertheless isolation does exist. Any user of the gas as a raw material will find use of the gas in the gas field area itself economically advantageous. THEN there is the transition in the use of woodland resources.

Rapid reproduction is a feature of southern pine. The movement for efficient timber cropping is gaining headway slowly but steadily. As reserves elsewhere are depleted, and as the uses of timber alter and expand in the new age of industry, southern timber will display revived vigor in contributing to the prosperity of this region. For many of the Northeast Louisiana parishes flood control is the chief factor in charting the future course of agriculture. The full effects of the federal program will not be felt for several years.

But during that time these effects will unquestionably be anticipated, giving impetus to farm life in all the lowland areas. Elsewhere the future hopes of agriculture are pinned upon unrestricted ability to diversify. Progress is being made. Barring accident, the strange-hold of the tick should soon vanish into history. Facilities for farm marketing are better than they have ever been before and will continue to improve.

If the t'de of population turns away from the cities Northeast Louisiana will be able to draw her full share of the migration. 'nie Ouachita river as an agent of links Monroe and the Je of Northeast Louisiana with ae rich possibilities of Central and South America. The work of the ne.t half century will be to lift the southern continent up to a parity with the northern continent in standards of living. Northeast Louisiana has an all-water contract with the Gulf and the seas beyond. There are other assets which may be lumped in the statement that our territory is still, to a very large extent, virgin territory possessing resources which invite exploration and use.

Climate is favorable. Facilities for education are excellent. There are outdoor diversions of every type. IF WE remember that the resources of the North and East are in many instances being pumped dry, that the logic of living in a really temperate climate is constantly broadening its appeal, and that the vast money wealth of our nation must constantly seek new fields for investment, it is apparent that the assets which we have lumped above, and others which cannot be mentioned because of limited space, arc tangible guarantees of well-being in the future. The pessimist wall find flaws.

Hammonds Reputation HAMMONDS tar-and feather scandal has reached a point where, according to press reports, the business men of that city favor a compromise in order to avoid the unfavorable publicity which would arise from an extended court trial. Their theory is that if the outside world is given all of the details again through the medium of testimony, the reputation of Hammond as a city will suffer and property owners there will be injured accordingly. Our own opinion is that the importance of a civic reputation, insofar as the outside world is concerned, has been greatly overestimated. Chicago manages to hold its population and gain new citizens, in spite of having had the worst publicity any city has ever had. Cities where violent crime is com-mon register increases in the 1930 census on a par with cities having reputations as havens of law and order.

Movement of population is based chiefly upon economic forces. The overwhelming influence upon property values in any given community is an economic influence. Other considerations are, by comparison, of little import. So we say that Hammond has really great need to worry over what the rest of the world may think. If Hammond can support a larger population, that population will come regardless of tar, feathers and marital triangles.

But surely Hammond does not think only of the. outer world. A city must maintain its own self-respect, entirely apart from having the respect of its neighbors. Leaving the dollar out of the picture, every community has the task of upholding within itself such standards a3 will create strong manhood and womanhood. To our mind Hammond should give more attention to the mind and heart of a single child living within its borders than a million citizens living at a distance.

It is more vital for Hammond to make a proper impression upon that child at home than to suit the random fancies of the far-off crowds. Inner self-respect is a mighty asset, in a city as well as in an individual. Virtues on parade mean little when compared to strength of character applied quietly and without vanity in every-day life. A Billion and a Half For Roads DURING 1930, the States and their counties will spend over 601, 000, 000 for highway improvements, $250,000,000 more than in 1929. According to the Department of Agriculture, $063,667,000 of this will be spent on local roads and bridges and the balance on Slate highways.

STORIES I HEAR By ROGERS When Mr. and Mrs.

Robinson took their Bobette to dinner at the Skinks house, it turned out that Mr. Skinks had been to a party the night before, and he sat down to the dinner table at his own house that day with a right black eye. So Bobette was looking and staring at the black eye, and Mrs. Robinson, across the table, gave ber a terrible look and shook her head a little. Bobette spoke right up, "Well, Mom, she says, "I aint going to say a word about it.

The Hotel Stenographer By ROE FULKERSON "She is my cousin and she wanted to borrow a dollar, explained the Hotel Stenographer as she closed her pocketbook. "She was in some kind of trouble? asked the House Detective. "Kelly, I told you she was my cousinl ansewered the girl. "Did you ever have any relatives who were not in gome kind of trouble? Thats the terrible thing about a relative.

She is always in need. "All relatives are always going through some great trial! They have to be, just to make you show that blood is thicker than water and that most of the money you make is theirs by right of kinship. "I belong to a large Irish family, Kelly. There are more of us than there are politicians in Inidana! In the entire lot is not one who is not eternally sitting on Old Man Troubles front steps sobbing like his heart will break. Its a family trait, as far as I can find out, of all relatives.

"A family with relations who arent in trouble would never see them! Its trouble which makes family reunions! "Relaions arent supposed to like you; only use you. Believe thou me, all my cousins are living up to their rights and privileges! If they are out of luck, out of a job, out of sorts, or anything else which makes them miserable, they come here and cry on my desk until I open my pocketbook and put a green plaster on the place where they hurt, "But let them fly high, wide and handsome and I never see them.

Look here, Kelly, my peple are the best people in the world and you lay off em! timate the total length of roads to receive attention as 32,532 miles. At present our greatest need is the construction of feeder or farm-to-market highways. The American Farm Bureau Federation has been' a leader in an aggressive camDaign to obtain for the farmer the year-round, hardsurfaced roads that, as one of our foremost producers and taxpayers, he deserves. So long as a great majority of farmers are cut off from their markets during many months of the year because of impassable roads, agricultural progress must be retarded. If our vast road building appropriations are fairly and efficiently used, with the aim of obtaining the best possible results, adequate feeder roads can be built without burdening the taxpayer.

Every state should adopt a program for constructing five, ten or fifteen miles of farm-to-market road for every mile of main highway. The United States has four times the number of automobiles of all the rest of the world combined, and less than half of the worlds road mileage. Our good roads movement is just getting well started.

HOLLYWOOD. June 3. In a prominent place on the list of old-timers who are making screen come-backs place the name of Frank Mayo. Some five years ago when he was one of the best known of the matinee idols, Mayo left Hollywood, disgusted with motion pictures and threatening never to make another. From that time until three months ago only an occasional bit of news concerning him found its way here.

He was reported in London and then in New York, doing some stage and scieen work but apparently not enthusiastic about any of his assignments. Three months ago he came back to Hollywood, convinced that movie work was better than he previously had judged it to be. Films changed considerably in the period that he was away and the talkie element made his future slightly uncertain. Just to show what he could do he took a part a legitimate show playing in Hollywood. Irving Thalberg, production head at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, saw the play and apparently was overjoyed to see Mayo, a friend of the old motion picture days.

To Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer went Mayo to make a tet and from the test he emerged with a prize part in Buster Keaton's new picture, War Babies. Ed Sedgw ck was one of the directors who handled Mayo when Mayo The feminine lead in the picture is played by Sally Eilers, who first was starred by Mack Sennett. In addition to her screen work, Miss Filers has another claim to fame. She is one of the few people in Hollywood who cant get automobile insurance. Three wrecks in three months caused the insurance companies to put her on the taboo list.

Says Pen, Typewriter Are Ruining Writing PARIS, June 1. The fountain-pen and the typewriter are ruining good French writing, declares Professor Fortur.at Strowski, member of the Frencn Academy. He is warning Frenchmen that their language and their literature are being changed radically by these two modern inventions and reminds them that the great authors of the 16th and 17th centuries made use of goose quills. In those days, the writer was patient, slow and precise. Their manuscripts looked like the works of monks.

Writing became less laborious with the era of the steel pen and when the fountain pen came in, hackneyed phrases and ordinary words came with it to threaten the beauty and orderliness of French writing. Professor Strowski, who finds that the modern student armed with the fountain-pen is turning out much more nonsense than his ancestors ever did, is fearful for the future when all writers will undoubtedly use a portable typewriter..
