South Africa Is more than liberally endowed with institutions which fur- nish instruction more or leas of the university type. It may soon be in a position to boaat that it Is turning out more R.A.'s to the morgen than any other nation on earth, except possibly the United States of America. The question Is, can the country continue to face the expenditure even on the present slightly reduced scale? Unless commodity prices recover and unfor- tunately they are still falling In terms of gold it will surely be necessary to effect large economies in higher edu- cation, and in that event the right of existence of the smaller university colleges is certain to be challenged. Cape Argun. Trade "Advisers" for Ottawa. The Prime Minister has made a good choice of delegates to attend the Commonwealth representatives at the Ottawa Imperial Economic Confer- ence. Once it was determined to fol- low the British Government's lead in sending "--dvisers" with Ministers, It became important that they should be representative of the interests likely to be affected by the Ottawa decisions. The selection of tho personnel of such a delegation was necessarily a matter of great difficulty, and doubt- less there is not one of the five who might not have bet-n replaced by somebody else with equally good claims. Hut It needs to be suld again that this delegation can In tho nature of things be no more than an advis- ory and information-conveying body. The real work at Ottawa will be done' by Ministers, and must be followed' by Parliamentary action to be effec- tive. Melbourne Australasian.

Tho need for greater economy In public expenditure has been Insuffici- ently emphasized at this conference (conference of Australian Premiers). When the Premiers' plan was laun- ched last year It was recognized that It was but the beginning of economy. An aggregated deficit which was then regarded as the largest allowable with safety will be exceeded this financial year hy several millions of pounds. It Is evident that further drastic econ- omies are required not the piece- meal departmental savings now being made, but a fundamental reconstruc- tion of the whole public service. Melbourne Argus.

An Women More Bad-tempered Than Men, Professor Says According to an American professor women get angry six times to a man's tour. In arriving at this conclusion he had "ien and women students keep "anger diaries" that Is, whenever they lost their tempers they recorded the fact for the benefit of science. A writer in London "Answers," however, allows leniency to creep in and gives the ladies several reasons for this high percentage. He writes: "On the face of it, you can't get be- hind these diaries. There, In black-! and-whlte, are the facts. They prove conclusively . But what if the pro- fessor is too trusting What if the diaries only prove that women are more honest than men It is Just pos- . Bible that they have duly jotted down ; all their tantrums, while the men have failed to mark up half theirs. Of course, the diaries may be accu- rate enough. Even then It doesn't mean that women are naturally bad- tempered. A British investigator of the problem of temper, D- G. F. Still, of King's College Hospital, London, has noticed that when a child, which has become thin from any cause, be- gins to put on flesh, its temper im- proves. "Children brought to the hos- pital for excessive fatness are almost Invariably good-tempered," he says. So perhaps women are more bad- tempered than men at the moment simply because they have been "slim- ming." If that ts so. the man who buys boxes of chocolates for his wife or his fiancee has a sound Instinct of self-preservation. And the best way to tackle his own bad temper would be to eat more food. Again, however, those little doubts creep In. The experts don't all agree. Unique Case Strange is the case of John Mellish of Geneva, Illinois, jailed for Indiscretion.
