Roosevelt, are the other American sites being urged for the world capital. It's probable that the British, French and Dutch will again support Geneva, the home of the former league of nations. Czechoslovakia and Belgium have joined these 3. The chief objection is that all of the associations with Geneva were unhappy in the ill-fated failure of the league. There is something to this argument to get away from the jealousies and antagonisms and the economic struggles of Europe for a fresher and more detached view of the world.

FORTY YEARS AGO Wednesday night at Pougherty about 9 o'clock fire was discovered at J. M.

The fire started from a brooder heated by an oil lamp. of Forest City, a notoriously wicked character about the state penitentiary at Anamosa, only escaped a good dressing of tar and feathers by leaving town on the dead run. He was taken from the city jail by an infuriated mob of Forest City's best citizens who kept behind him with boards and clubs and axes, striking him across the back at every step.

He pleaded for mercy, something he had never been known to do at Anamosa. a seen, a football, he would still rank as the most amazing col-leeiate mind we ever en countered. President Virgil Hancher in addressing a Mason City audience recently pointed to some of the qualities of character and leadership in young Kinnick and added this observation: "Merely to describe Nile Kinnick Is to appear to be eulogizing him." IT'S this kind of lad that the 1 people of Iowa not just the University but all of Iowa are now being asked to memorialize in a manner most fitting. The memorial is to take the form of a scholarship fund of at least $150,000. Each year the earnings from that fund will be used to provide an education for high school youngsters who seem to approximate Nile Kinnick in scholarship, character and athletics.

If the plan is made to work out fully, as many as 25 or 30 young men will be on the Iowa campus at the same time, eacn the beneficiary of the $750 annual scholarship, available only so long as the individual shows himself worthy. SOME will think of the matter in terms of what it will mean to Iowa athletics to have a group of students of this mental caliber giving tone to the various fields of intercollegiate competition. But this is only a very small part of the total picture. The really significant benefit from the program will derive from the fact that these finest minds, joined with fine bodies, will be saved for our state. In the past, too many of them have "blushed unseen." Others have been drawn to distant institutions where educational opportunities beckoned.

In either case, they've been tost to Iowa. Our state has failed to benefit from what should be among her choicest assets. NOT LONG ago students at the University conducted a referendum on the question of naming the Iowa football stadium. There was an overwhelming majority for calling it "Nile Kinnick Memorial Stadium." The parents of the lad who would have been thus signally honored let it be known that their preference of a memorial to Nile would be this scholarship fund. The stadium, they pointed out, should be a memorial to ALL Iowa students who, like Nile, gave their lives to their country, not to just one.

In this we have a clue to the qualities of character and intelligence which so distinguished the Nile Kinnick of football fame. AT THIS time approximately a third of the $150,000 needed for the establishment of these scholarships has been raised. Another $25,000 may be said to be in sight. But there still remains a long way to go to reach the goal. Additions to the fund have ranged from $10 up to $5,000.

All gifts to it, of course, are deductible in income tax computations. If our state is possessed of the vision and enlightened generosity we've always ascribed to it, the goal will be reached and before too long. Never has a better offer for Investment in the future of our great state been presented. Stassen Scintillates vNE NIGHT recently Naval Capt.

D. WAYS OF TREATING A RESPIRATORY ILL A COLD is an infection of the nose and throat. At present, the most prevalent idea is that colds are originally due to a virus, that is, an organism so small that it can pass through a porcelain filter. However, infection with germs such as streptococcus and staphylococcus easily follows the virus infection. The same sort of thing may also occur in a disorder known as acute laryngotracheobronchitis according to Doctor Harry L.

Baum of Denver, Colorado. Doctor Baum thinks that this condition is also primarily a virus infection which is followed by infection of the tissues by streptococcus germs. In laryngotracheobronchitis, there are fever, cough and difficulty in breathing, since the disorder causes swelling of the lining membrane of the voice box or larynx and the trachea or windpipe, as well as the small tubes in the lungs known as the bronchi. It was believed for some time that the condition was due primarily to streptococcic infection. Hence it was hoped that the sulfonamide drugs, which are active against such infections, might be helpful in the treatment of the condition.

According to Doctor Baum, the sulfonamide drugs have proven of little value. Furthermore, penicillin also, he thinks, will not be helpful in treating the primary infection, but may be useful in com bating the streptococcus infection which follows. It is suggested that perhaps the best method of treatment available at present for laryngotracheobron chitis is the use of blood serum taken from a person who has re cently recovered from an attack of the disorder. It is frequently found that some member of the patient's family has recently re covered from about the same type of respiratory infection as that from which the patient with laryn gotracheobronchitis is suffering If such serum is not available, Doctor Baum thinks antistreptococcic serum or scarlet fever ser um may be administered. The amount of serum to be given will depend upon the severity of the infection and the size of the patient.

Little improvement is to be expected during the first 24 hours, but after that time the symptoms steadily disappear, Sometimes the condition is so se vere as almost completely to shut off the breathing passages. About Books By R. Rogers NO MAN KNOWS MY BISTOBT, by Fawn M. Brodia (Knopf; 4). JOSEPH SMITH, businessman, drinker, wrestler, politician, and, the author claims, a husband many times over, is the subject of this biography.

Mrs. Brodie had the advantage of working with extremely colorful and dramatic material. But she has made the most of it. She documents her findings with scholarly thoroughness and then lets us have the story, raw and strong right in the face, as it were. If Latter-Day Saints they number 1,000,000 dislike some of the things she says about Smith, Americans regardless of religious beliefs will dislike, will indeed be shocked by what they learn aoout themselves, or "their ancestors, who in Illinois and Missouri persecuted the seer and his hapless people with an unbelievable Pros and Cons Interesting Viewpoints From Our Exchanges Distinguished Career Webster City Freeman-Journal A distinguished and most useful career was ended at Charles City on Wednesday of this week with the death of Lyman Herbert Hen ry, 87, publisher of the Charles City Daily Press.

Editorial of Day OBSOLETE WEAPONS pOUNCIL BLUFFS NON- PAREIL The Pearl Harbor investigation is bringing to light new facts but the most important fact in connection with the de bacle of four years ago has so far been glossed over. The United States was relying on obsolete weapons. Our leaders depended on battleships and forts rather than on air power.

We had 102 major combat sur face vessels in Pacific waters. Of these 102 vessels, only one was an aircraft carrier! The administration had kept most' of our battleships at Pearl Harbor as a supposed warning to Japan. Great Britain's two mighty men-of-war, the Prince of Wales and the Repulse were in Asiatic waters for the same purpose. Singapore, Hong-kong and Cor regidor were regarded as im pregnable fortresses. Neither the armies nor navies of the allies thought enough of the significance of air power either to provide air cover for their fleets or to guard them selves against surprise with curtain of long-range aerial recon naissance.
