CONSERVATION
The Izaak Walton league has
concluded its big convention in
Chicago, and the conservation
movement has been brought into
the public light by the combined
interest and effort of practically
all the conservation bodies that the
nation knows.
The recent Izaak Walton League
convention is rather a solace in
that so many organizations united
their forces in the conservation
movement, which heretofore might
be criticized from the fact that
too many organizations have tak-
en up the cry of conservation with-
out making any evidently con-
scious attempt to bring the move-
ment into action, thereby making
the movementnothing but a lot of
,ballyhooand propaganda which
has too often characterized politi-
cal campaigns. However, they fin-
ally all did get together, including
the Boy Scouts, the women's clubs,
Audobon societies, government bu-
reaus, game protective associations,
and what not.
Now that the Waltonians have
marshalled together all the forces
of conservation, pleaded and sought
for the cooperation of each, and
apparently have attained that co-
operation, the time has come to
put the movemnt in motion. For-
ests, game, waterpower are a few
of the subjects needing 1 more at-
tention than mer congressional de-
bate. Not only do these prob-
lems have to be definitely solved,

«T COULDN'T get very far in the
bond business. I have no social
position or influential friends."
If such thoughts occur to you when
considering your possible fitness for a
career in the investment field, it
would not be surprising. They reflect
a commonly held opinion regarding
the bond business.
But the facts present a different
picture. A young man of wealth and
social prominence may enter the bond
business, but, without other more im-
portant qualities, he has little if any
advantage over any other beginner.
11is acquaintance may in fact turn out
to be a handicap, if he shows any
tendency to lean on his friends. It is
"push" rather than"pull" that counts.
If you have any leaning toward an
investment, career, do not let a mis-
conception about it throw you off your
course. Learn the facts about the bond
business, how it is carried en, its re-
quirements, its opportunities. Then
measure your qualifications against
these known factors.

college men, a little booklet, What is

of this fine social and educational
experiment. Letters have been
written to all of the fraternities
and, sororities asking for gifts,
while a general campus tag-day
will be held on May 8.
Of the great number of univer-
sities throughout the country,
Michigan has the distinction of be-
ing one of the few which maintains
a summer camp in order to rouse
a healthful joy of life, and set it
flowing through the veins of many
tragically underprivileged boys.
During the summer months, 400
poor children selected by the wel-
fare organizations of Ann Arbor
and Detroit are given the benefits
of a twelve-day outing in the com-
petent care of a staff of twenty
University men.
The response from the students
last year was excellent, and with
a goal of $3,000 toattain this year,
it is hoped that the response will
be as whole-hearted. Support for
this generous enterprise is depend-
ent upon the students and alumni
of the University, and so the fate
of the project rests entirely in the
hands of those. who are called on
for aid. The cause is worthy. It
should be given the hearty co-op-
eration of every student at Michi-
gan. Will it receive such consider-
ation?
SOVIET FREEDOMj
The true condition of Soviet
Russia may be more clearly pic-
tured from the recent withdrawal
of its corresponding agency in
that country by the Chicago Trib-
une. The reason given is the ob-
ligation of the correspondent to
have all his news censored and
peppered with propaganda.
News is news no matter from
what part of the world it may
come,, and the sole standard of
news is truth. No newspaper of
any integrity could afford to print
propaganda, and at the same time
profess to be serving the public.
Reports of the prosperity of a
country like Russia might lead to
false conclusions on the part of
business men and other men in the
political world, so that they might
be lead to invest in that country;

Editorial Comment
MORNING AND OTHER EXER-
CISE
(The New York Times)
Dr. Williams, Professor of Physi-
cal Education, who dared to doubt
the tonic of setting-up exercises
and a cold bath the first thing in
the morning, must wonder why so
many of his fellow-specialists are
of the contrary opinion. From ev-
ery direction they descended upon
enthusiasts who take radio exer-
him. They spoke for battalions of
cises and glowing plunge. The di-
rector of a health broadcasting bu-
reau
of an
insurance company
points to 700,000 letters that bear
witness to the values received in
"tuning up the physical and nerv-
ous organism." That sturdy com-
panion of physical culture, Dr. Eu-
gene Lyman Fiske wants it under-
stood that if people are to be for-
bidden to take daily setting-up ex-
ercises, then indeed we shall have
to assume that we have entered in-
to a state of decadence." Nor can
he calmly view the suggeston that
alarm clocks be banned because
their effect on the nervous system
is baneful. The faithful alarm
saves its devotees from the wear
and tear of bolting their breakfasts
and sprinting for morning trains!
Dr. Williams commended walking
four miles a day as the ideal ex-
ercise, invigorating and adequate.
But Dr. Fiske exclaims that "walk-
ing is the laziest excuse for exer-
cise I know anything about."
Stepping along briskly with the
chest out and arms swinging is a
builder of vitality. Dr. Fiske is re-
ferred to such authorities on walk-'
ing as Wordsworth, William Haz-
litt, John Muir, Stevenson, George
Otto Trevelyan and Edward Pay-
son Weston. The list could be in-
creased by hundreds of names. I
