Vol. 36. No. 92. Price 3 CentReport BritainReady to LiftOil SanctionsAction Would Follow Ces¬sation of Hostilities inEthiopia.(Copyright, 1936, By United Press)LONDON, April 15—Great Britainmay offer to suspend sanctionsagainst Italy in return for immediatecessation of hostilities in Ethiopia,diplomatic quarters reported tonight.Following Foreign secretary An¬thony Eden’s departure for Genevadevelopments indicated that Britainis eager for early peace.She was represented as reconciledto the fact that peace terms nowmust be more favorable to Italy withthe abortive Hoare-Laval proposals,which would have pacified Italy withhalf of Ethiopia.Refuse Credit to EthiopiaIt was regarded as highly signifi¬cant that the Ethiopian minister tothe court of St. James, Azaj Martin,during the past few days made vig¬orous but futile attempts to obtainKritish credits to finance the pur¬chase of munitions here.Martin made his appeals to theforeign office, but British armamentfirms declined to sell to Ethiopia oncredit.Hanking circles regarded this de¬velopment as further evidence thatKthiopia’s defeat and ultimate sub¬mission to Italy are viewed by thegovernment as inevitable.Believe Defeat NearHowever, Eden’s departure to at¬tend the meeting of the counciliationcommittee of 13—the council minusItaly—was accompanied by a state¬ment that Britain is prepared to goa.' far as any other nation in apply¬ing or extending sanctions. But itwas reaffirmed that single-handed ac¬tion by Great Britain is ,out of thequestion.There were many inspired reportsin the press today about the damagesanctions already have wrought inItaly, but foreign diplomats believethis was merely smoke screen to coverthe British tactical retreat.Importance al.so was attached tothe failure of the cabinet to meet(luring Eden’s four-day stay in Eng¬land between activities at Geneva.That indicates that the governmenthas refrained from taking any newdecision despite Ethiopia’s imminentdefeat.II Duce InformsLeague of Termsfor Peace Talks(Copyright, 1936, By United Preae)ROME, April 15—Premier BenitoMussolini will demand that Leagueof Nations .sanctions against Italybe lifted before he discusses peacewith Emperor Haile Selassie, diplo¬matic quarters reported today.Diplomats said il duce has in¬structed Baron Pompeo Aloisi, hisenvoy to Geneva, to tell Salvador deMadariaga, chairman of the League’scommittee of thirteen, that theI.eague must drop sanctions andrescind its verdict branding Italy asthe aggres.sor in the East Africanwar before Italy will discuss peaceterms.They .said that since he considershis victorious military campaign vir¬tually ended, Mussolini decided to in¬form the League of his terms.Indications that peace might benegotiated within the framework ofthe League if Italy’s terms are ac¬cepted recalled that previously Mus¬solini had held that peace should benegotiated directly between the twobelligerents.Reports that Mussolini has de¬manded recall of the British fleetfrom the Mediterranean before agree¬ing to discuss peace were denied inofficial Italian quarters where it wasinsisted Italy has not I»ad any recentnegotiations with Great Britain.Diplomats said the Italian armiesshould occupy Addis Ababa beforethe end of this month.The only remaining obstacle tomilitary conquest of the country isthe army of the Dedjazmach Nasibuwhich holds Jijiga, Harrar, and DireDawa, strongholds on the southernfront.It was reported reliably that thearmies commanded by Marshall(Continued on page 2) Italians OccupyDessye in Marchon Addis Ababa(Copyright, 1936, By United Press)Italian Field Headquaters, NorthernEthiopia, April 15—Paving the wayfor a final offensive against AddisAbaba, Italian troops today occupiedDessye, Emperor Haile Selassie’sfield headquarters, and hoisted thetricolor of Italy over the gebbi or du¬cal palace.Occupation of Dessye revived indi¬cations that Marshal Pietro Badoglio,commander in East Africa, will smashhis way through to Haile Selassie’scapital as soon as general RodolphoGraziani, commanding Italian troopson the southern front, protects thenorthern army’s flank.Attack in SouthGraziani is poised ready to attackthe armies cf the Dedjazmach Nasibu,governor of Harrar province. Cap¬ture of Harrar, Jigjiga, and DireDaw'a, remaining Ethiopian strong¬holds, would put Graziani in a posi¬tion to protect Badoglio’s flank dur¬ing the march on Addis Ababa.Military experts now believe Badog¬lio will base several squadrons of air¬planes at Dessye preparatory to thepush on Addis Ababa.(Continued on page 2)House DefeatsLobby MeasurerRejects Request of Inves¬tigating Committee forAdded Funds.WASHINGTON, April 15—(UP)—The Senate lobby committee lost abitterly contested fight late today ona resolution asking for $10,000 to em¬ploy special counsel in injunction liti¬gation challenging its right of sub-fonnt. ■The House rejected the resolution,153 to 137, after stormy debate.I The Senate-approved resolutioncame up on the House floor after thelobby group revealed, in a morningsession, that wealthy men backing theAmerican Liberty league also contrib¬uted to the Southern committee to up¬hold the constitution.Admini.stration ApatheticThe House action killing the resolu¬tion does not halt the work of thelobby committee, which has its ownfunds, but it prevents payment ofmore than $3,600 a year, in accordancewith general law, to Colonel CramptonHarris, Birmingham, Alabama, formerlaw partner of lobby chairman HugoL. Black, (D., Alabama) for fightingthe committee’s court battles.Most Republicans opposed the pro¬posal to make an exception for higherpay in the current case. Democraticranks were split because there was nodefinite administration pressure forpassage. Leaders were apathetic, ex¬cept Majority leader William B.Bankhead, (D., Alabama).Opponents of the appropriationargued that the Black committee hadexceeded its authority in seizing tele¬grams in its lobby inquiry. Advocatescontended that the court injunctionfight against the committee repre¬sented a fundamental issue—encroach¬ment of the judiciary on the legisla¬tive.The final vote was interpreted asa rebuke to Black, who had sought tosubpoena every telegram sent and re¬ceived in Washington between Feb¬ruary 1 and December 1 last year.His subpoena was met with two in¬junction suits.THE ABCs(Contributions to The ABCswill be accepted by the editor.)INTERRELATIONSAbout this time, when the Floren¬tines wished to form an alliance withVenice against Filippo Maria Vis¬conti, they were***refused, in the be¬lief, resting on accurate commercialreturns, that a war between Veniceand Milan—that is, between buyerand seller—was foolish.

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO,Publish Reporton Retakes ofExaminationsFind Largest Percentageof Repeated Exams inBiological Sciences.Interesting statistics regarding col¬lege comprehensive examinations weremade known yesterday when JohnM. Stalnaker, member of the Boardof Examiners published a report onthe frequency with which studentsrepeat examinations. In forming hisresults, Mr. Stalnaker uses as hisbase the number of students takingthe examination for the first time andfigured his percentages from this.For the last three English qualify¬ing tests, 102 or 10 per cent of thestudents taking the examination forthe first time have retaken it. Thelargest percentage of retakes was inNovember, 1935 when a percentageof 13 is found.However, many more facts can bediscovered when the results of aninvestigation of the regular generalcourse examinations is made. Sincethose who took college examinationsin June, 1935, have not had a chanceto repeat some of the examinations,the number taking examinations forthe first time does not include thisgroup although the group is includedin the number of examinations re¬peated.It is found that the percentage re¬peated was 7:6 for all the generalcourse examinations while the mostcomprehensives repeated were in Bio¬logical Sciences with all other per¬centages being under the total figure.The figures for total number ofexaminations taken the first timeshow some other facts not discussedin the Tcport. It Is evident that morestudents take Biological Sciences andSocial Sciences in their freshmanyear. Also, since the former courseis considered by many to be theeasiest of the four surveys, it is moreoften taken without preparation andas a result more students have failedto pass the course the first time theytake it.Dancers Workin Shorts ButNeighbors KickInterviews for freshmen pub¬licity and business positions willbe held at 2:30 today in theReynolds club Blackfriars office.You can’t blame the boys in theBlackfriars choruses for not wearingmuch clothing during practice in thiswarm spring weather.Every evening they go over theirsteps in the glass enclosed south endof Sunny gymnasium, and every eve¬ning they strip off shirts and pants tobe comfortable. This leaves themworking in something like gym shorts.But yesterday George Kendall, ab¬bot of Blackfriars, answered the phonein his office.“This is the secretary to Mr. Flook,superintendent of Building andGrounds. Mr. Flook has had manycomplaints from homes near Sunnygym, and is asking that hereafter thedancers wear shirts and pants.’’George said he’d see to it.The plot, by the way, of “Fascistand Furious’’ is laid on the Universitycampus, and centers about a fellownamed McGlurk (played by Vic Jones)who is, in the show, superintendent ofBuilding and Grounds.Maybe Mr. Flook doesn’t know ityet.Complete Portrait ofJames Henry BreastedA portrait of James Henry Breasted,late director of the Oriental Institute,painted from photographs by John C.Johansen, has been hung temporarilyin the Quadrangle Club until a perm¬anent position in James Breasted hallis found for it.The portrait shows Dr. Breasted inacademic gown, standing beside hisdesk, holding papers in his right hand.On his desk is a sphinx.

Later, hewill examine some of the Universitiesof Canada and England.Accompanied Polar ExpeditionsA geologist by profession. Dr.Priestley was a member both of Cap¬tain Scott’s last antarctic expedition,and Shackelton’s earlier expedition tothe same continent. Further he playedan active part in the war, and eightyears ago was made secretary of thegeneral board of the faculties and re¬search studies at Cambridge univer¬sity, England. A year ago he was calledto become vice-chancellor of the Uni¬versity of Melbourne, a positionequivalent to the American universitypresident.At his Cambridge post he waslargely instrumental in reorganizingthe curriculum, so that for the stu¬dents not taking honors a curriculumdesigned to meet the end of “educa¬tion for life’’ was prescribed. Theplan took a form comparable to theChicago plan. It involved two surveycourses roughly equivalent to a com¬bination of the biological and physicalscience surveys courses and of the Hu¬manities and Social science courses.In addition, study of a foreign lang-(Ck)ntinued on page 2)Two Scholars Addedto Romance LanguageFaculty for SummerTwo distinguished European schol¬ars, Guiseppe Borgese and Dr. Wal-thur von Wartburg, have been ap¬pointed to the Romance Language de¬partment for courses during the sum¬mer quarter.Borgese, at present professor ofcomparative literature at Smith col¬lege, will offer a course in the his¬tory of Italian Literary Criticism andone on Dante.

APRIL 16, 1936Page TwoReport on Usesof Heavy WaterUrey Discounts PopularRumor of Significance ofFind.KANSAS CITY, MO., April 15—(UP)—Dr. Harold C. Urey, who al¬ready has won immortality in chemis¬try textbooks as the discoverer of“Heavy water,” said today that hisfind, as yet, has no known significancein everyday existence.Popular reports that “heavy water”or its important component “heavyhydrogen” are somehow connectedwith the coming of old age are base¬less, Urey said. The discovery of“heavy hydrogen” won Urey the 1934Nobel chemistry award.No Practical UsesUrey came to Kansas City to attenda symposium on “heavy hydrogen” ordeuterium as it is known chemicallyin connection with the 91st meeting ofthe American Chemical society.“Deuterium, as far as we know, hasno direct practical importance exceptthat it has entertained a great manypeople,” Urey said. “I think it isunnecessary for everything to be use¬ful in this simian world.Turning then from his own humor-our satisfaction, Urey spoke of theintense interest among scientists inthe newly opened fields to whichdeuterium was the key.“It is a very interesting substanceto scientists, since hydrogen has beenstudied more than any other element.We have developed theories for theproperties of chemical substanceswhich depend on the masses present.Deuterium enables us to test thesetheories.Industrial Importance“Indirectly, deuterium probablywill have great industrial importance.It enables us to understand the detailsof chemical processes much betterthan before, and, of course, the betterwe understand chemical processes, thebetter we can use them industrially.”Urey pointed out that in the scienceof biology, deuterium is used as a tagby which course of a chemical .sub¬stance is traced through the animalbody. Italians OccupyDessye in Marchon Addis Ababa(Continued from page 1)Throughout last night Italian troopscircled Dessye. They entered the cityat dawn and hoisted their flag over thepalace the emperor used as his generalheadquarters until he was forced toevacuate.A native army corps was the firstto enter Dessye. It captured the citywithout resistance.The bloodless capture of Dessye,commercial capital of northern Ethi¬opia, definitely puts the Italians onthe last stepping stone for the advanceon Ethiopia’s capital and completesthe marathon-like march which beganafter the battle of Lake Ashangi.Badoglio’s forces now are 400 kilo¬meters from the former Eritrean fron¬tier. They have fought two-thirds ofthe way to Addis Ababa.Italian forces from Gondar, Sokota,and Sardo are expected to join theDessye units shortly, giving Badoglioa formidable army for the offensiveagainst Addis Ababa.“Fat containing deuterium hasbeen fed to animals and the fat sub¬sequently located in different partsof the body, thus showing how fat isutilized,” Urey said.Meanwhile, at the “heavy water”session. Dr. Malcolm Dole of North¬western university presented a paperon his discovery that oxygen as wellas hydrogen can exist in a “heavy”form.Dole told of experiments which ledhim to believe that oxygen in the airexisted in a heavier form than oxygenin water. Dole went about separatingthe gases in the two forms and cameto the conclusion that oxygen in theair has an atomic weight of 16.0001 ifthe value of 16.0000 is assigned to theatomic weight of oxygen in water.Professor Norris F. Hall andThomas C. Jones of the University ofWisconsin explained experiments bywhich they w'ere able to compute howmany parts of “heavy hydrogen” thereare in relation to ordinary hydrogenin any given sample of water. Carry InflationIssue to VotersPatman Admits Futility ofContinuing Fight in Con¬gress.WASHINGTON, April 15—(UP)—Reluctantly conceding defeat atthis session of Congress, inflationiststonight warned they would take theirfight for “green-backs” to the coun¬try in the coming elections and con¬fidently predicted victory in 1937.Representative Wright Patman,(D., Texas) who spent $10,000 of hisown money in the long battle to paythe soldier bonus and who is leaderof the currency expansionists in theHou.se, admitted the hopelessness ofcontinuing the money battle now.“You are going to see a changewhen the 70th Congress meets,” hesaid. “I predict that the time is com¬ing soon when this House will refuseto pass another appropriation billcalling for the issuance of bonds aslong as we have $10,000,000,000 inidle gold in the treasury.”His observation came after Speakerof the House Joseph W. Byrns hadnipped a clever move to force an im¬mediate vote on the highly inflation¬ary Frazier-Lemke bill. This measurerecommends the printing of $3,000,-000,000 in “green-backs” to enablethe government to refinance farmmortgages throughout the nation atlower interest rates.Patman and his followers, how¬ever, are not aligned with theFrazier-Lemkeites. There were re¬ports that the two groups hadpledged mutual support for inflation¬ary legislation but the blunt-spokenTexan denied this. He said he did notfavor “turning the printing pressesto work and throwing the key away.”The nation, he said, needs a moreadequate currency than it has today,however.Meantime, Patman indicates hisfollowers would not start a moneyfight about the administration’s newtax bill when it reaches the floor.Possibility that the bill may be takenup next week was advanced today bySpeaker Byrn.s. 'A CORNER FOR READERSWill Neutrality Keep Us Out of War?By Helen MayerWITH thunderheads piling upover the world, with each daybringing closer the crisis of theWestern State System, the currentdebates over neutrality legislationseem unrealistic in the extreme.As a great imperialist power ourwidespread interests would seemto make it impossible for us to re¬tire from the world scene. Yetto satisfy the peace-at-any-pricepacifists neutrality must be givenits day in court.A necessary prelude to the ques¬tion of whether neutrality can keepus out of war is the twofold as¬sumption that the United Stateswill not itself be the aggressor asin view of our huge naval-build¬ing program might be the case inthe Far East and that the UnitedStates will be indifferent to theoutcome of any war to which it isnot a party. Then it must be un¬der the aegis of a neutrality with¬out honor and without profits thatthe United States will attempt tosave itself from being suckedinto the maelstrom. Unless neu¬trality implies a policy more def¬inite than merely skirting war itwould be tautologous to discussthe question for of course neutral¬ity in the sense of keeping us outof war will do .so as long as weare neutral. But the only neutral¬ity worthy of the mark involvesnot only a mandatory embargo onarms, munitions, and war loanspublic and private immediately onthe outbreak of war, limitation oftrade in contraband of war withbelligerents, and with publicopinion permitting, a withdrawalof protection to American shipsand pas.sengers travelling in warzones and general renunciation ofneutral rights but a complete em¬bargo on all foreign trade. Thistotal severance of trade relationsis the nearest we can come to ab¬solute neutrality, although as theWorld War reveals such a policywould not be impartial but dis¬criminatory in favor of the bel¬ligerents w’hich did not need ourtrade or those which were success¬ful in blockading their enemies. Inthe coming war our neutralitymight play into the hands of fas¬cist aggression.■oUT aside from its effects onO the belligerents economic iso¬lationism is the only tenable neu¬tral policy in the immediate con¬siderations of steering clear offoreign embroilments. Foreign trade is the most important ofentangling influences and one like¬ly to cloud the clear moral per¬spective of American abhorrers ofwar. They will thus be spared theodious dilemma of weighing peaceagainst profits. Of course consid¬ering the magnitude of our pres¬ent foreign commitments it maybe too late to enact this neutral¬ity insurance when the fire blazesforth. However, in order to arguethe case at all I assumed a cleaneconomic slate and imperturbabledetachment on the part of theUnited States.Why does neutrality necessarilyimply economic isolationism? Inmodern wars of attrition all com¬modities are the sinews of war. In1916 the belligerent expanded thecontraband lists to include all ofour vital exports. So even if theUnited States contented itself witha trade-at-your-own risk policy,the inevitable explosive incidentswould arouse the familiar stormsof protest against the impairmentof our sovereignty with direthreats that unless we defendedour rights further violations ofnational honor would occur. Or ifthe growing American shippingindustry could be induced to com¬mit temporary suicide for thecash-and-carry plan, competingblockades w’ould largely preventforeigners from getting safely tohome port with the booty with theresult that their anxiety for ourtrade might be considerably les¬sened or if their need were greatenough, they might carry theirconflicts into United States har¬bors.But would national self-suffi¬ciency— provided newspaperswere suspended, radios confiscated,and ear-wax supplied to the citi¬zenry—prevent us from succumb¬ing to the dogs of war? Even ifthe constitutional consensus ofthe people on the notion of neu¬trality was potent enough to re¬sist the clamors of American cot¬ton, wheat, and iron, would peaceprevail within our borders? Be¬fore replying categorically it willbe worthwhile to investigate whatcomplete immersion in a water¬tight economy would involve. Al¬though our foreign trade was only10 per cent of our total business in the last fifteen years, the over¬whelming importance of exportsto certain industries has tremen¬dous effect on our whole economicstructure. Our economy is not aseries of discreet parts but a liv¬ing body. Amputate 10 per centof it and it bleeds to death. In1929 55 per cent of our cotton, 41per cent of our tobacco, and 18per cent of our wheat were soldabroad. In a branch like cotton thedestruction of the export marketwould annihilate the South. Tocut off the foreign markets of ourexport industries would mean un¬employment, drastic lowering ofthe standard of living, and a com¬plete disruption of our economicsystem.When the conflict rages howwill the government make possiblethe enforcement of its neutralitydecrees unless it regulates andcontrols domestic production?Planned economy is an impossiblefeat under an economic systembased on the uncertainty of profit.But if the attempt at state capi¬talism were made and we shouldbe more courageous than Wilsonwho did not dare plunge the coun¬try back into the depression fromwhich it had just emerged and inthe hope of peace resign ourselvesto a long night of depression andheroic poverty, would our sacri¬fice be rewarded? No, it is doubt¬ful even under state capitalismin the most self-sufficient of na¬tions that the dove of peace willfold its wings on the Capital domebecause without destroying capi¬talist relations of production theabsolute necessity of exportinggoods and capital must breakthrough all control and drive thecountry to foreign expansion. Ournational attack of claustrophobiawill express itself in the effort tobring desirable resources withinthe boundaries of our self-con¬tained empire. Thus state capi¬talism, the logical corollary ofeconomic isolationism, would noteven afford neutrality the oppor¬tunity of keeping us out of war.Here is the reductio ad absurdumof the peace-at-any-price plan.The price is uncollectable. Neu¬trality involving as it does eco¬nomic nationalism cannot keep usout of war because it is impos¬sible both in theory and practice. II Duce InformsLeague of Termsfor Peace Talks((Continued from page 1)Pietro Badoglio and General Rodol-pho Graziani would attempt to en¬circle Nasibu’s forces during the nextweek.Commenting on failure of Italy toparticipate in the London consulta¬tions of the Locarno signatory gen¬eral staffs a foreign office spokesmansaid:“It is a logical consequence of thereservation Italy made at the begin¬ning of the Locarno crisis.

Y., April 15—(UP) —Validity of the New York state unem¬ployment insurance law, model forother states in carrying out provisionsof President Roosevelt’s nation-w’idesocial security program, was upheldby New York’s highest court today.The law taxes employers to provide“pools” from which the unemployedmay draw benefits.The Court of Appeals, by a 5 to 2decision, held there was “nothing un¬reasonable or unconstitutional in thelegislative act which seeks to meetthe evils and dangers erf unemploy¬ment in the future by raising a fundthrough taxation of employers gener¬ally.”■rhe plaintiffs contended operationof the law deprived them of theirproperty without due process of law,as guaranteed by the constitution.“There have always been from theearliest the poor and unfortunatewhom the state has had to support bymeans of money raised by taxation,”the majority opinion read.“Whether relief be under this newlaw of the legislature or under thedole, the public at large pays thebill.” Noted GeologistVisits CampusHead of Australian Uni¬versity Favors “Educa¬tion for Life”.(Continued from page 1)uage and English literature were re¬quired for two years, after which spe¬cialization was permitted.Criticizes New PlanWhen asked for criticisms of theChicago plan, he stressed the need forteachers who would devote their entiretime and interest to the teaching ofthe survey courses and the need forcloser contact between instructor andstudent, so that the poorer studentswould be stimulated to intellectualactivity and their effort guided effec¬tively.The main difference between Ameri¬can and English universities, accord¬ing to Dr. Priestley is that the problemof education for life has already be¬come urgent in this country due to thetendency toward mass education,whereas in England, with the morerigid selection of students and the factthat students are older and more nearlyspecialists upon entering college, haspartially obscured the problem, so thatit is only beginning to make itselffelt.Polar ExperiencesConnected with this difference, isthe fact that the universities of thiscountry are of more direct service tothe community than are those of Eng¬land and Australia. The greaterfinancial resources of the Americanuniversities also plays a large role inthis connection.As a scientist in the arctic. Dr.Priestley had many noteworthy ex¬periences. One of the most strikingwas a winter spent with seven men ina hole cut in a snow drift, so smallthat to stand upright was impossible.The condition came about as a resultof the failure of a ship to arrive atthe appointed place due to obstructionby ice floes. 'The sole food of the party was seal blubber.

They can’tsee you either.We were warned not to put ourfingers in the water because “the fishthink it’s feeding time.” We didn’tsee much danger until, carelessly, welaid a hand on the side. The watercomes within two inches of the wall-top. A finger must have hung over,because there was a gentle swish andscrape, and we withdrew the hand justm time to avoid the horny saw, stick¬ing six inches above water, of a two-foot sawfish. The experience was alittle terrifying, and we kept ourhands down thereafter.There are three penguins on show,and an attendant let us in the backdoor of the exhibition case.

Ogburn PublishesPaper on SocialService in CityWith the appearance of a study on“Social Service” in the current issueof the Public Management magazine,the fourth chapter of William FieldingOgburn’s forthcoming book, “The So¬cial Characteristics of the City,” iscompleted.Examining the various social serv¬ices available to the individual in thecity in contrast to the town, Ogburnpoints out that in almost every in¬stance the cost per capita is greaterin the urban community than in thevillage. Consequently, the tax burdenand the total indebtedness per capitaincreases with the size of the town.Discusses Public ServicesThe services discussed by Chicago’sdistinguished service professor of So¬ciology are charities and corrections,the conservation of health, recreation,education, libraries, and courts andpolice. Charities, it is pointed out,are necessary when a greater numberof people become dependent upon thecommunity and when private aid isinadequate to care for them.“Good health is more difficult tomaintain in the very large cities,”stated Ogburn who maintains that,under the crowded urban conditions,disease is more easily transmitted.Amusements cost more in the largecities because more private agenciescater to the public’s recreationalwhims.Education Most ExpensiveIt is in education, however, thatOgburn finds the most expensive ofthe social services. But the cost ofteaching children varies slightly be¬tween the large and small populationcenters, a fact which may be tracedto the proportionately smaller num¬ber of children per family in the largecities and the large numbers of farmchildren who come to the village fortheir education and are, therefore,counted on the educational rolls of thesmaller community.The crime-breeding situations inthe city naturally increase the propor¬tion of delinquency rates, contendsOgburn, and consequently the facili¬ties to alleviate the conditions have tobe established, thus increasing theper capita cost of courts and police inthe larger communities.

The experi¬ments are reported in the doctor’s dis¬sertation of John E. Davis, who hasjust received the Ph. D. in physiology.While it has long been conceded thatregular exercise makes for betterhealfh, according to Professor AntonJ. Carlson. Dr. Davis’ experiments onexercising dogs indicate that regularexercise increases blood volume,total cell volume, alkali reserve,and number and stability of red bloodcells.Tests were made before, during, andafter periods of regular exercise inwhich the animals ran as much as twohours a day or swam an hour a day.During the first week of exercise theblood volume, total cell volume andred cell number decreased. Beforetwo weeks the balance had returnedto normal and the increase of favorablefactors had begun. The number of redcells and the amount of alkali reservecontinued to be greater than normalfor several weeks after the cessationof exercise. The diet remained con¬stant throughout the experiments.The number and stability of redcells are important factors in goodhealth and resistance to disease.University Press HoldsAnnual Party TonightMembers of the University of Chi¬cago Press staff will hold their an¬nual party tonight at 6:30 in theCloister club of Ida Noyes hall.

IV. Rosenwald HallJulius Rosenwald hall is the resultof a birthday present of $250,000given by Julius Rosenwald on the oc¬casion of his fiftieth birthday. Thiswas in 1912. On January 4, 1915,the building was open for classes andon March 15 the dedication serviceswere conducted by Harry Pratt Jud-son, then president of the University.The gift was not originally madewith the idea that it should be de¬voted to a particular building. Itwas rather meant for a contributorygift with the hope that added dona¬tions would be given. But the build¬ing was erected from the single giftand, in the absence of the noted phil¬anthropist, the departments of Geol¬ogy and Geography requested that itbe named for Julius Rosenwald.Adorning the building are a num¬ber of interesting symbolic figuresand carvings. Above the main en¬trance in a large panel is the seal ofthe University, surmounted by ascroll bearing the name of the build¬ing. The supporters of the shieldare students, capped and gowned, theone carrying in his hand a hammerand the other a theodolite. Immedi¬ately below in panels and shield isa frieze of roses, an allusion to thename of the donor. On the right isa relief portrait of Lyell, English ex¬ponent of the principles of geology;on the left is one of Dana, Americanauthority. On the spandrels of thedoorway are the seals of the stateof Illinois and of the city of Chicago.To the left of the doorway an agedman is represented as cast away byan old world shrunken by time andscarred by volcanic devastation; tothe right is the figure of a childProfessors Take Partin Adult Education TalksFour members of the University willtake an active part in the seventhannual public Conference on AdultEducation, scheduled for Saturdaymorning at 10. “Vital Points in AdultEducation” has been chosen as thetheme. Carl F.

In the left center of the base¬ment, which provides space for adark room and rooms for dynamicgeology, section work, a high-tem¬perature and high-pressure labora¬tory, and a workshop, is found theseismograph, for which a solid con¬crete four-foot pier was sunk to thebase rock, 62^2 feet below the floor.The seismograph records are incharge of the United States weatherbureau.On the first floor is a museumroom marked architecturally by acarved wooden screen at the mainentrance. In the cases are type col¬lections of mineral rocks, ores, andeconomic products. A bronze bust ofThomas Chrowder Chamberlain, thenprofessor and head of the depart¬ment of geology, is by Lorado "Taft.There are two towers on the build¬ing, a square and an octagonal one.On the square tower to the east arewinged gargoyles—a buffalo, a bull,an elephant, and a lion—to representAmerica, Europe, Asia, and Africa.On the octagonal tower, devoted tometeorology, are eight gargoyles,four of which represent the winds(Boreas, Notus, Eurus, and Zephy-rus), and four of which are birdsemblematic of the air: the duck,eagle, albatross, the condor. Nearthe tower entrance is a panel bear¬ing a shield on which are caiwed ageologist’s collecting bag and ham¬mers, together with a scroll with thelegend: “Dig and Discover.”From the fourth floor there is ac¬cess to the ninety-foot tower in whichare the offices and recording instru¬ments of the completely equippedUnited States weather bureau, whichmay be visited at hours posted onthe bulletin board.WARNER BROS.—JEFFERY —71st-Je(fery Phone Hyd. 4608BUY TICKETS NOWAt Bursar’s Office for Max Reinhardt’s"A MIDSUMMERNIGHTS DREAM"2—DAYS ONLY—2MON. & TUBS., APR. 20-212 PERFORMANCES DAILY—2Matinee 2:30—Evening 8:30ALL SEATS RESERVED!HAVE YOU TRIED THE J-R RESTAURANTFor rich, creamy waffles with bacon or pure pork sausagefor twenty cents.Other attractive menus—Open twenty-four hours a dayTHE J-R RESTAURANT1202 East 55th Street When, after years of disgust in see¬ing the “Phew” litzer Prize given towhat they considered unworthy scripts,the critics of New York banded to¬gether to award their own prize towhat they considered the finest playof the year, their first selection wasMaxwell Anderson’s “Winterset.”Whether the committee which awardsthe “Phew”litzer prize (and I, for one,refuse to call it by any other name)will follow the lead of the critics isa much discussed question; many thinkthat Sidney Kingsley’s “Dead End”will be the recipient. But the factremains that in awarding their acco¬lade, the critics have given it to thefineat and most significant play of thepost-war period—a play which standshead and shoulders above every otherdramatic text written here or in Eur¬ope during the last two decades.It is strange that Maxwell Andersonhas won the “Phew”litzer Prize onlyonce, and that the play which won itfor him was one which was not apoetic play—poetry being his usualdramatic medium. “Both YourHouses,” the political play which gavehim the prize, was an indictment of thecomplicated bureaucracy and entang¬ling alliances between congressmenand lobbyists in our national govern¬ment . As a social document it wasnot an indictment of great strength.In this field Elmer Rice with his“Judgment Day” and “We, The Peo¬ple” left Anderson far behind.* * *But it is in the poetic form thatAnderson has indubitably establishedhimself as the greatest modern dram¬atist of the world. He has the sincer¬ ity and the depth of psychologicaland emotional expression of EugeneO’Neill—to mention the name the ma¬jority will instantly bring forw’ard tocompete with Mr. Anderson. But, hehas coupled this sincerity with a flairfor superb versification, the form inwhich the most ageless of plays havebeen written; It is, of course, tooearly to judge the eventual evaluationwhich will be placed upon the greatprose plays of our time, for it wasonly in the latter part of the Victorianperiod that the prose play emerged asa domina'nt form of the drama.Anderson, however, is not the soleexponent of dramatic verse today.There have been such transition writ¬ers as Synge and Drinkwater, employ¬ing “poetic-prose,” and now there areEdward Arlington Robinson, Archi¬bald MacLeish, John Masefield, SemBenelli and T. S. Eliot—all of whomare actively engaged, either wholly,or from time to time, in verse drama.Of these, the most celebrated of latehas been Archibald MacLeish, leftwing poet whose stirring “Panic” washailed by many as the first (and only)adaptation of verse to the modernidiom of speech.* * «Sponsor German EssayContest for MidwestThe committee on German Litera¬ture is sponsoring its third annualessay contest open to any high schoolor college student in Illinois, Wiscon¬sin, Iowa, Or Minnesota.

APRIL 22—8 P.M.Capital Bldg. 159 N. State—17th FloorAueplcea American Tickets atFriends of Soviet UniversityUnion Bookstore Anderson has written four notableverse plays. His first great play wasa prose collaboration with LaurenceStallings: “What Price Glory”, inwhich he showed the ability to useterse and biting speech to magnificenteffect. “Elizabeth the Queen” and hislater “Mary of Scotland” were reminis¬cent of the Shakespearean historicalplay, save for the more logical drama¬tic compactness of the plot. In “Val¬ley Forge”, produced last year, heproved that (with a woman thrown in)the life of George Washington couldbe glowing delineated in resoundingwords by actor Philip Merivale, and itgave unfolding promise of a risingtide of bitterness which had first beennoticed in his “Night Over Taos.”In “Winterset” Anderson has, forthe first time in his verse, turned tothe contemporary scene. It is naturalto wish to compare his work with thatof MacLeish. MacLeish’s poetry ishard and sharp. It shouts with painand startled emphasis against pre¬tense and oppression, moving in stac¬cato mood, tuned to the clanging ofmachines. But Anderson, in “Winter-set”, has found a less grating mood,and yet one which equally as well ex¬postulates against the grinding-down.Based, loosely, upon the Sacco-Van-zetti case, it is one of the most dra¬matic of all modern plays. Playedmagnificently by Burgess Meredith,Anatole Winogradoff and Lee Baker,the play has been set sombrely by JoMielziner. Its imagery, read in thetext is vital and glowing, its poetryfits smoothly into the feeling of themind and rises to epic heights.SWEET ASHONEYStarts SweetSmokes SweetStays SweetNOTHING ELSE HAS ITS FUVORAlto Imporial Yollo Boh $1,50University Music Society PresentsShvandaWeinberger’s Czechoslovakiar Folk Opera.DIRECTED BY CARL BRICKENand theUniversity of Chicago Symphony Orchestrawith theChicago Symphonic ChoirandPaul Pence, Agatha Lewis, Eugene Dressier,Winifred Stackie, Bessie BrownMANDEL HALLMON., WED., THURS.,April 20, 22, 23at 8:30 P.M.SEATS $1.00—$2.50 at MANDEL BOX OFFICEDAILY MAROON SPORTSPage Four THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1936At Bat Maroon Diamond Nine TronncesBoilermakers, 22-16, in SlugfestwithEd VincekOnce more the Maroon diamondnine will play hosts to the Armourball team today.

One Sports Champ,One Rhodes ScholarCoach SwordsmenBehind the Maroon teams that reg¬ularly seize Big Ten fencing crownsare two of the most interesting menin the athletic department, an intel¬lectual Rhodes scholar and a giantSwedish sports champion.“In what sports did you partici¬pate while in Sweden?”, Alvar Her-manson was asked.“All of them,” he replied with anaccent.“Did you ski?” “Yes.” “Ever winany big races?” “Yeah.” “Did youbox?” “Yes.” “National champion?”“Only in high school.”Hermanson turned professional atthe age of 17, teaching all sports. Hehad already distinguished himself infootball and as national high schoolchampion in foil, epee, and saber.After coming to the United States,he has had wide fencing experience.Among his victims (all in fun) is theman who beat Aldo Nadi, famousItalian.When asked if he had ever metNadi, Hermanson jovially replied,“He’s never met me.”Merrill Head CoachRobert V. Merrill, former fencingcaptain. Big Ten foil champion. Dra¬matic association star, and Rhodesscholar, is one coach who reallytrains his proteges in sportsmanship.Merrill, officially designated as fenc¬ing coach while Hermanson acts asassistant, is also professor of French,thus handling his “touche, reposte, etcorps a corps” with fluent tongue.Hermanson, who weighs 210 poundsduring the season, is the man whohas developed Campbell Wilson, BigTen foil champion and Maroon cap¬tain this year, and Burt Young, BigTen epee champ in 1934.
