It washere that he made moving pictures' from the inside of an erupting vol¬cano. He was conveyed into thecrater by a plane piloted by the lateFrank Dorbandt, who his since com¬mitted suicide by flying .straightout over the Pacific ocean.These craters which will be de¬scribed and pictured in the lecture,are the ones that Father Hubbardha.s proved to the National Geo¬graphic society to be very similar tocraters of the moon.Tickets for th’e lecture are pricedat 55 and 85 cents and are on saleat the Mandel box office, the In¬formation office, the Universitybookstore, Woodworth’s, and theUniversity college.

The Rev¬olutionary general strike is labors’only salvation!” “Fight! Join the la¬bor struggle in a war to end the cap¬italistic system," and midst the gen--p^al distribution of varied “parties"propaganda, eight speakers openedthe first all-campus conference forpeace last night at Internationalhouse. On the only common groundarrived at in meeting, it was agreedthat students and labor would haveto lead the way to peace.“It is not so much where we came(the speakers) from as where weare going," stated Dean Charles Gil-key of the Chapel in opening the listof speeches. He pointed out that re¬ligious groups have been turningtowards the left using religious mo¬tives and convictions to combat war.

Theyd from the MusicUniversity, untilthat date, ticketsin the box officetall cloister.T When reached by The Daily Ma¬roon yesterday, Paul H. Douglas,professor of Economics, expressedhis thanks to the hundreds of per¬sons, who had voluntarily circulatedpetitions for his mayoral candidacy,and to the thousands of people whohad sigrned them.Following the announcement ofthe Chicago Fusion party that theyhad been unable by a few thousandto secure the required 58,000 signa¬tures, Mr. Douglas addressed the fol¬lowing open letter to all candidatesfor mayor:“The only way the Chicago Tam¬many can be defeated in the Springelections is for all the candidates formayor to retire and for the Repub¬lican City committee to nominateeither Charles E. Merriam or DwightH. Green for mayor. It is chargedand believed that the present Re¬publican City committee is almostcompletely dominated by the Nash-Kelly machine, and that the Repub¬lican candidate has been selected bythe Democratic machine as a push¬over for' KeHy in April. The onlyway that the Republican party canrehabilitate itself and convince thepublic that it is sincere and notmerely a Democratic side-show isfor the nominee to withdraw andfor the central committee to nom¬inate Green or Merriam.“I also call upon Newton Jenkinsto do the same thing, namely, towithdraw from the race in favor ofGreen or Merriam. So far as thefusion group is concerned, we willgladly support such a candidate butwe have no enthusiasm for an elec¬tion if we are confronted only withsuch candidates as we have now be¬fore us.’’ An internal rift between the tworival factions of the Cosmos club ata meeting held Tuesday has result¬ed in the existence of two groupsclaiming to represent the club oncampus at the present time.Members of the old executivecommittee, under H. S. Greenwald,acting chairman, constitute one fac¬tion, which is committed to the pol¬icy of limiting the membership ofthe organization and carrying onpropagandist activities in the inter¬ests of peace and internationalism.At the meeting Tuesday, the execu¬tive committee rejected a new con¬stitution submitted by the opposingelement, which favors restriction ofthe power of the executive commit¬tee with regard to membership anda return to the original policy of theclub in keeping it a gp’oup for opendiscussion.The original Cosmos club was oneof several international relationsclubs in various American univer¬sities, which are affiliated with theCarnegie Endowment for Interna¬tional Peace and regularly receiveliterature from the foundation.The leaders of the two factionswill meet Friday with Frederick L.Schuman, assistant professor of Po¬litical Science and faculty adviser ofthe club, and William E. Scott, as¬sistant dean of Students, to arrive ata settlement of the dispute. Abbott ImpressesGrace Abbott, professor of publicwelfare administration at the Uni¬versity, precipitating the argumentsof the bulk of speakers at the sym¬posium, lifted the wind from theirsails by scoring the point that “Mem¬bership in any particular party ororganization will not accomplish theend against war." Going further shepointed out that no great war issueswould be settled by bloodshed—in¬stead, they would be settled by the“long slow hard struggle to get rightlittle by little." In an.swering argu¬ments against munitions makers, shevigorously stressed, “If the Ameri¬can people did not want munitionsmakers, they would not have themhere. It is a poor alibi to blame ourwar trouble on them—the peopleare to blame.” in flourishing soap-box style, foundconsiderable pleasure in reinterpret¬ing statements of the President inthe NRA, as pro-capitalistic andagainst labor as well as statementsallegedly made by army leaders con¬cerning a Fascist coup of Washing¬ton. He expressed confidence thatthe next war would be fought bylabor against trade-unionism. Con¬cluding, he recommended a unitedfronrby all groups, regardless of af¬filiations, against imperialistic fascistwars.

By courtesy of the March 2 issueof Literary Digest — Consistentlyconfirming the results of the nation¬wide college student peace poll, tab¬ulated returns from a special col¬lege editor poll were announced yes¬terday.During the closing week of theA.ssociation of College Editors—Lit¬erary Digest college poll, specialballots were mailed to the editorialboards of 644 college newspapers,the entire college press of America.The ballots bore the same questionsused in the fir.st poll, and also thequestions asked on the peace ballotbeing conducted in England by theBritish League of Nations Union.Unlike the student poll, in whichover a third of the ballots sent outwere marked and returned, the pollof editors has returns from only oneout of every eight editors, only 80of the 644 having voted. The col¬lege editor vote recorded indicatesthat the opinion of the college pressis neither ahead nor behind that oftheir readers.Editor* Favor LeagueThere is a stronger sentiment forentry into the League of Nations,the editor vote on the question fav¬oring entry, 43 to 36, whereas thestudent vote was 55,689 to 54,510against the proposal. The vote ofthe editors agrees with the views ex¬pressed by the students at the Uni¬ versity who voted two to one forentry into the League.The consensus on thequestions from the English pollshows that the editors favor “an all-around reduction of armaments by Iinternational agreement,” “an all-1around abolition of national military jand naval air-craft by international 1agreement," and prohibition, by in-jternational agreement, of the manu- jfacture and sale of armaments for jprivate profit.They believe that “if a nation in- [Is'ists on attacking anoflher nation jthat the other nations should com- ■bine to compel it to stop by eco¬nomic and non-military measures,"but they oppose the use of militarymeasures. and their respective positions are lLouisa Hoyt, secretary; CatherinePittman, Freshman Women’s clubadvisor; Muriel Davis, senior public¬ity chairman; Mary Beth Clapp andMary Louise Coolidge, Federationrepresentatives.

In a contest between the humormagazines of universities and col¬leges throughout the United States,Phoenix was awarded ninth place inthe search for the “Big Ten” ofcollege comics. Pelican of the Uni¬versity of California was electedwinner. This contest was conductedby the editors and art staff of PunchBowl, the humor magazine of theUniversity of Pennsylvania.Inasmuch as Phoenix is not a“joke” publication but devotes itstime and space to literary contribu¬tions, the editors of Phoenix feelsatisfied with the results. Selectionof the winners was based mainly onthe number of jokes and cartoonsin the magazines, but the type used,art work, lay-out, composition, andeditorial material were also consid¬ered.Other winners were: second place,;Jack o’Lantern of Dartmouth; third iplace.

HEARST?Perhaps paradoxically, Alexander Hamiltonwill speak for the Student League for IndustrialDemocracy at the Peace conference being plannedfor the end of this month by the Student Union.We say that it may be paradoxical for the L. 1. D.(and its student parallel) is seen by other moremoderately liberal groups as far too radical to beassociated with the name of one of the countryfathers.Yet this modern Alexander Hamilton is a de-scendent of his more famous namesake, and, fur¬thermore, is a member of the staunch Ball fam¬ily to which Washington himself traced his an¬cestry.The present Alexander Hamilton, while in at¬tendance at the University of California, got alongnone too well with the administration because ofhis liberal interests. Once the chairman of thelocal S. L. I. D. (associated with the Socialistclub), he was found to be out of harmony withtht majority feeling and ousted.Should one say that it is in spite of his goodAmerican blood that this student is a so calledradical? Hearst no doubt never, in his naivete,suspected that intelligent, well born people werean3rthing but supporters of the status quo. Canhe tell this boy to go back where he came fromif he doesn’t like things done in the “American”way? May it not be that the spirit that made theAmerican founders a firm group of revolutionistsand pioneers exists today? If that is true unen¬lightened Mr. Hearst is falsely using the slogan“Americanism” to suppress the very spirit he pre¬tends to extol.—R. W'. N.A LOST CAUSEOur north shore neighbor, Northwestern, ishaving troubles. It has just become aware of aprofound change in its life, the loss of traditions.And apparently unable to see the definite trendall over the country in this direction, certaingroups are attempting a revival.After glancing at a list of Purple traditions wewould say that their neglect is excellent proof thatNorthwestern is growing up. Such things as mendating at athletic contests and both sexes smok¬ing on campus merely express ch'anging timesrather than a breakdown of the social order. Thewearing of freshman caps is another custom thathas outlived its usefulness and is becoming ex¬tinct at many schools. As for the tradition ofbeing sportsmanlike we see no reason why it is necessary to even list it; it is a point of good man¬ners.While the liberal minded paper. The DailyNorthwestern recognizes fully the futility of thetraditions noted, it persists in reaffirming its faithin these outworn customs to the extent of recom¬mending an organization to enforce them. Maywe point out that when traditions have to be en¬forced they are useless, any efforts to revive themmerely delay the inevitable, and college life haschanged considerably since the founding of thesetraditions.If Northwestern wants to keep in step with thetimes we recommend a thorough study of thecauses behind the breakdown of tradition.—H. P. H.To Paul Douglas The Daily Maroon would ex¬press admiration and appreciation for his gallantattempt to buck the “machine” in the mayoralityelection. We hope he will not stop at this re¬buff.—H.

In addi¬tion, volume of sales in these dis¬tricts increase turnover and reduceper unit costs.“As a result of a detailed studyof competition, particularly in thedrug store field, it may be general¬ized that severe competition occursprimarily between independent andchain outlets. The presence of twoor more independent stores in a par¬ticular area appears to have littleeffect upon price policy.“A direct relationship was foundbetween residence rent, as represen¬tative of income, and the prices offoods. Relatively, commodity priceswere lower in low rental areas thanin high rental areas.“It is apparent that consumers areunprotected from inferior qualityand workmanship due to (1) theirinability to become expert in the testing of articles before purchase(2) to the absence of an organiz«!tion with the responsibility of in¬forming the public as to the meritsof goods, and (3) to the inadequacyof laws requiring manufacturers andmerchants to detail the characteris¬tics of their products.DEPARTMENT OFCONSUMER WELFARE“So technical are many of thetests required, that retailers are fre¬quently not aware of the quality ofmerchandise they handle. In addi¬tion, proprietary articles frequentlyhave secret formulae which are pro¬tected by patents and copyrights.“The large number of factors de¬termining retail prices suggest thatnot alone should stabilization oftrade practices and standardizationof commodities be sponsored by codeauthorities, but that, in addition, agovernmental agency responsible foroffering advice to the consumerestablished. In actual operation inthe Federal Government,- there is aDepartment of Commerce, represent¬ing the business field, and a Depart¬ment of Labor, representing theworker.

Her com¬bination of graceful repartee andclever expressions are well adaptedto this characteristic Parisian com¬edy, Her clothes, even her hairdressing, are conducive to the moodof the play.And Walter Slezak, whom we wellremember as the gallant in Meet MySister of several seasons ago, is justwild enough, just romantic enoughto play the part of the arch criminalwho weakens under the melting gazeof a spiritual sophisticate. to be on the stage, doing dramaticwork. So she got pretty much of athrill recently when Fay Templeton,the grand old actress playing in“Roberta,” sent her flowers in ac¬knowledgement of Ethel’s ability.According to Fay, Ethel is the onlyradio singer who pronounces “kick”as it .should be instead of “key” in“I Get a Kick Out of You.” Ethelleft the Inn last week for a fifteenweek tour of the theaters, beginningat the Chicago; which means plentyof hard work for her.

Put on a show.” Josef wasthe rich man. The Bowery revue wasthe show of hams. And the hamsdid their part. They put on a swellshow.ARTISTS BALLFinally it’s here.
