Mr. Ramsey-er's amendment calls for an increase inthe maximum inheritance tax from 25to 40 per cent, the maximum figureapplying to estates of $10,000,000 andover. This action on the part of theHouse is in direct defiance of SecretaryMellon, who is supported in this matterhv the president.* • *Senator Underwood of Kentucky, whois again a leading candidate for theDemocratic nomination, addressed ajoint session of the Kentucky legislativeI todies on Monday strewing the disad¬vantages of America’s aloofness towardEuropean affairs.

Mayberryof the Department of Psychology inan interview for The Daily Maroonyesterday. Practically every muscle,he said, is exercised; and these move¬ments are executed as a unit.To insure this end, certain impulsesmust be inhibited, just as in playingthe piano. For instance, in playingthe piano, it is natural to move thelittle fingers of both hands at the sametime. This habit must be overcomedand the player must learn to co-ordi¬nate movements of the thumb of onehand and the small finger of the other,for instance.The same thing applies in dancing.Certain natural and habitular move¬ments must lie overcomed and othersmust be substituted. The skillfuldancer, however, does not have to re¬member all this, since all of the in¬tricate movements are executed un¬consciously, and the whole becomes a'unit, while the action of the musicupon the mind instills in the dancersome unknown sense of poetic motion.Skating causes the same effect, sinceit facilitates the movement of the same CAMPUS HEADSLAUD PORTFOLIO' Rain Chorus Best I Have Ever Seen,”Says Prof. Linn '“Charming show with some capitalsongs."—Dr. E.

One hundred andten of those voting stated that theywere registered voters.Of the 271 ballots cast, 146 wereturned in by men and 125 by women.One hundred and nine of the 146 menvoted “Yes” for the plan as comparedwith the 111 women polling in favor ofthe proposals. Thirty-seven men turnedin a negative vote, against fourteen un¬favorable ones for the women.Registered Votes Cast BallotsOne of the interesting facts revealedby the poll was 110 registered votersgave their opinions of the plan for peace.Ninety of these were in favor of it,while only tw-enty opposed it, a great¬er percentage of the registered votersbeing favorable than of the compositegroup.Dean Wilkins believed that the votewas unusually small, which, howrever,was to be expected.“One sixth of those,” he said “ whowere given ballots returned them in(Continued on page two)WOMENS GROUPS TOJOIN IN ANNUALELECTIONSNominations for officers for Federa¬tion, Y.

That such informationshould he included is obvious and needslittle comment. But mechanical de¬tails concerning dates of birth anddeath of ancestors, dates of marriageand dates of moving, from one houseto another, are unnecessary.The student of English literaturetries to absorb its culture and to pro¬gress under its inspiration. He wantsto know dates of birth and death inorder to identify the writer with histhought period. The student ofAmerican literature wants to find outwhat may be included as literatureand what may be thrown out. Attimes, in this latter group, there ismuch that may be left unread.

In case this combinationdoesn’t work smoothly the Maroonmentor wiill prohably put Barta in atDuggan's guard position and shift thelatter to the forward post.Coach Kent has thoroughly schooledhis players on the Maroons’ type ofplay *nd they will come to Bartlettgym with high hopes of victory.

The Seniors, by virtue of theeight points they accumulated in thefirst event, managed to hold the leaduntil tlu- end. when they were dis¬qualified in the final spurt for honors,and were pushed into second place bythe yearling natators.Two trick events were introducedinto tlie meet, both requiring doubleswimming. One, a crew race, re¬quired a girl in front, using the armhalf ot the crawl, whose legs are keptinactive by the body of her partner,who uses both legs and arms. Thesecond is a Red Cross stunt, the car¬rying of a tired swimmer. The ex¬hausted natator floats on her back, andsupports herself by clinging to theshoulders of her more energetic com¬panion.Brennan and Schroeder, swimmingfor the freshman, proved their team¬work by taking first in the crew raceThe juniors, who had not entered ateam in that event, showed in the othertrick swim that their combination ofRawson and Fitzgerald was equallyeffective. The freshmen, whose workwas as co-operative as in the crew'race, only managed to come in third,since there was some question as towhich was the tired swimmer.Other races both for form and speedincluded the plunge, in which Watson,senior, made a notable distance offorty-four and one-half feet, twentyand forty-yard free style, trudgeon,breast and hack strokes, and fancydiving. In the last, lietter form wasshown than in anything else,'and Ber¬inger, who led the sophomores to vic¬tory, showed considerable grace.Considering the three first placesaccumulated by the freshman, sopho¬more and senior classes, respectively,the final scores of .14 for the freshmen,32 for the seniors, 28 for the sopho¬mores and 21 for the juniors, werenot surprisingly close. The freshmen,junior, and senior points were welldistributed among the members of theteams, while Beringer took first in thetwenty and forty-yard races, anddiving.
