U. Mask and Bauble Club Pits Broadway Comedy Against Shakespeare. Whether Broadway comedy is a bigger drawing card than Shake- speare as a vehicle for collegian play- ers is the test that will be applied to the Mask and Bauble Club of George- town University this season. With the opening of its fourth an- nual season Thursday evening, the Mask and Bauble Club has decided to blaze a new trail in Georgetown dramatic flelds by presenting as its initial performance “It Pays to Ad- vertise,” which is admirably fitted for amateur production. It's a far cry from “Hamlet,” presented by the Hill- toppers last season, to a popular Broadway show, and followers of ¢ local amateurs are awalting the re- sults with interest. Confldent of hearty support by the student body and local alumni, the Mask and Bauble Club has arranged for three performances in Trinity Church Hall, including a Saturday matinee. Trinity Hall is equipped with a large stage, and all appliances for handling stage scenery, so that difficulty will be readily overcome. Impersonates an Adventuress. In Paul Lyons, '28, who takes the part of a lady adventuress, and John E. Laughlin, ‘27, the Mask and Bau- ble Club h two clever feminine im- personators. Taking feminine roles isn't new to the Georgetown players, but modern flappers and Ophelia and Portia, for instance, have little in common. Lyons' bobbed-hair lock are counted upon by the “profoters” to make a bigger hit than Ophelia’ long and golden curls. There are other feminine parts. in the play. which is making good headway in daily rehearsals. The performanca will be a 100 per cent student production. Even the stage scenery and settings are the work of the students, and the orches- tra that sits in the pit will be the popular “Georgetown Collegians.” Alan Dailey, ‘25, is responsible for the poster advertising the pla: Rev.

COLLEGE PARK, Md., January 10. —Five honor students of the College of Agriculture of the University of Maryland have been pledged to the Alpha Zeta, national honorary agri- cultural fraternity, and they will be initiated in the near future. They are: Walter Bromley of Pocomoke City, Md.; Lionel Ensor of Sparks, Md.; Paul Smith and Stewart Whaley of Washington, D. C., and A. N. Shoe- maker. Bromley and Ensor are prom- inent in athletics and Smith is a can- didate for the varsity track team. Whaley is president of the junior class, Dr. Albert F. Woods the university, recently ident of Association of Land Grant Colleges, presided over meetings of that organization which were held in Washingion this week.

Gamble, head of the dairy husbandry department of the university, has been chosen chairman of A subcommittee to survey the ani- mal breeding projects now under way i& America and to make a synopsis of the same. His selection was made at a recent meeting of the committee on animal breeding of the National Research Council. Four others will serve with him. Four freshmen have been nominat- ed for the presidency of that class for the electlon that will take place Wednesday. The nominees are Char- lle Pugh and Ham Adams, who were fellow athletic stars at Tech High of Washington; Roger Snouffer and Tom Stephens. Pugh acted as chairman of the yearling aggregation at its past meetings. The military ball, one of the ban- ner events of the social season at the university, will be held Friday eve- ning, March 27. The date has just been selected by the committee in charge. Joe Burger of Washington, foot ball, lacrosse and basket ball, is cadet-major of the R. O. T. C. Bat- talion. The sophomores vanquished the freshmen in a recent snowball bat- tle that lasted long enough to cause many of the participants to seek dry clothing. The battle was fought at close range, but outside of a few bruises and cold feet and hands there were no casualties. Former Coach Morris a Visitor. William G.

Speakers from within the school and from the business world will be in- vited to address the student body on phases of the subject of “Thrift.” All activities of the week will be direct- ed toward a campaign for depositors in the Dunbar bank. “Every pupil a depositor” will be the slogan, and deposits from 5 cents up will be sought. Several attractive features, such as badges and other insignia, will add to the interest in the proj- ect. The formation of the thrift habit will be urged and strenuous effort made to make thrift week a notable one. ot Retires for “Good of Service.” The resignation of First Lieut. orge Thomas Liles, Quartermaster Corps, of his commission as an officer of the Army, for the good of the service, has been accepted by the President. .

The House had previously repassed the bill over the veto of the President. A new bill, allowing increases for postal em- ployes and raising postal rates to supply the necessary revenue, ha# been drawn by administration forces. The bill is not expected to be passed at the present session of Congress. Col. Hiram Bingham, former Yale professor, was lieutenant governor of Connecticut on Tuesday. Wednesday he was inaugurated Governor of Con- necticut. Thursday he resigned and on Friday he came to Washington and was sworn in as United States Senator from Connecticut, which probably constitutes a record for of- fice holding in a few days. The Senate has taken one step for- ward in its effort to get rid of the question of how to dispose of Muscle Shoals. After debating the question ever since Congress convened, the nate voted Thursday for the Under- wood plan, which has the backing of President Coolidge, and which pro- vides for private operation of Muscle Shoals. The plan was & and heatedly opposed by Senatc ris of Nebraska, who had urged that the Government operate the power plant. The Senate has yet to pass a bill disposing of Muscle Shoals, how- ever, and then reconcile it with a measure passed by the House, offering the plant to Henry Ford for operation. The enuously much-discussed whether the United States should modernize jts battleships to make them of the standard set by the arms conference occupied large and erous slices of the front pages last week. First, the Senate asked the President to inform Congress which nations had protested ag tion of the guns on American battle- ships. This elevation, by the . means increasing the range of the big guns. The following day Secretary Hughes replied that Great Britain had entered a protest against proposed elevation of guns, but that Japan did not regard such proposals as violating the arms conference agreement, and neither did the American State De- partment. But Secretary of the Navy Wilbur immediately came forward with the statement that the Budg Bureau, reflecting the President’ wishes in the matter, had considered the “modernization program” not in accord with the economy program; therefore there was no appropriation available. Meanwhile, the House naval affalrs committee has reached a conclusion similar to that alr reached by the Senate committee—that the Navy is in very good condition and that, despite rumors and speculation to the contrary, there is no use getting ex- cited about it. question of gen- nst eleva- Another vacancy may occur within a short time on the United State preme Court.

The Democrats in the Senate have been amusing the country at large re- cently by squabbles among them- selves about who was responsible for losing tho last election. Senator Dial, who made an impassioned speech in the Senate Saturday attack- ing some of his Democratic brethren, withdrew his entire speech from the Record Wednesday last when his col- leagues requested him to. The inci- dent developed when Senator Dial asked permission to correct certain portions of h speech, and Senator Robinson, Democratic ~ leader, pre- vailed upon him to blot out the whole thing. The first meeting of the newly- elected German Reichstag (the Ger- man parliament) passed off quietly last Monday, in marked contrast to the hubbub and uproar which marked the opening of the last Reichstag. The strength of the parties shows the Socialists with 121 members, the German Nationalists with 111, and the remaining 261 members divided between the Ger- man People’s party, the Communists, the Democrats, the Economic Union, the Bavarian People’s party and the National Socialists. But the smoothness with which the German Parliament got under way is not reflected in the troubles Chan- cellor Marx is having trying to form a cabinet. After the elections a month ago, at which no party re- ceived a majority, President Ebert requested the chancellor to form a coalition cabinet—composed of repre- sentatives of all parties. He has been trying, but failed. He then en- deavored to form a non-partisan cabi- net but also failed, and finally he has notified the President that all resources have been exhausted and he is unable to form a cabinet.

Boston, for the first time, probably, in her dignified career, suffered a £mall earthquake last week which dislodged stove covers pictures from the wall. University seismograph, which re- cords earthquakes, noted a tremor to the northward, but the Georgetown instrument here showed no disturb- ance, which led scientists to believe the quake was caused by the crack- ing of heavy masses of ice. Fear was expressed early last week for the safety of the inhabitants of a little island, only two miles off the coast of Carnarvonshire, England, yet totally isolated from the outside world for the last month because of heavy storms. The isle of Bardsey has 52 inhabitant most of whom live on fish. Storms had prevented fishing and there had been no com- munication from the island for a month because the narrow strait which separates it from the main- land had been closed to navigation. The latter part of the week, however, a shipload of supplies succeeded in making the crossing and found no casualties among the inhabitants. An attempt will be made this Spring to scale the highest unclimbed mountain peak in North Americ Mount Logan, In the Yukon territor: A party has been organized for the trip.

A Chicago court declares that Feodor Chaliapin, Russian basso, may sing with the Washington Opera Company’s production of “Faust” here the latter part of this month, thus bringing to an end, for the time being at least, a dispute which has raged between the local opera con- cern and the Chicago Civic Opera Company, which will present Chali- apin here in another opera next month. While the local opera com. pany had a contract for Chaliapin's appearance here, the Chicago com- pany claimed that a previous con- tract prevented Chaliapin’s appear- ance with any other concern. What action in the matter will be taken by the local representatives of the Chicago Civic Opera Company remain to be seen.

His sing- ing in the role of Ford in Ferdl's “Falstaff” was acclaimed wildly by patrons of the opera, who have long waited an opportunity to shower an American singer with the applause usually given artists of forelgn birth. Tibbett's success reads like fiction. He lived In California and sang in Los Angeles, but his art apparently went unrecognized until he came to New York. He s married and has one child. Art. After years of thorough tests by a Philadelphia art authority, a picture of “Daniel in the Lions' Den” by Peter Paul Rubens, now in the hands of the proprietor of a Philadelphia dental laboratory, has been declared the orig- inal of this famous work of art. The picture has been in dispute for years. The Duke of Hamilton has in his castle in England what most authoriges claim to be the original, as it is said to have been $old by Rubens himeelf in 1618 and presented to King Charles 1. The Phila- delphia art expert declares the Hamilton picture is a poor copy of the original, al- though he admits it may have been painted as a duplicate upon the original presented to King Charles I. The Phila- delphia picture was bought for a few marks at an auction sale in Frankfort- on-Main, Germany, in 1908. Paintings by the Spanish artist, Ignacio Zuloaga, were shown for the first time at a private exhibition in New York last week. Before the exhibition was opened four of his works sold for a total of $100,000, The great dome of St. Paul's Cathe- dral, in London, has been declared “un- ‘e by the city surveyor, and the cus- todians of the cathedral notified that it is regarded as “‘a dangerous structure.” Absolute safety can only be obtained, it it stated, by removing and rebuilding the dome. This would entail a cost of more than $2,000,000, and would close the great cathedral for 30 years. Rembrandt Peale’s portrait of Gen, ‘Washington was sold for $3,150 to the Daughters of the American Revolution at an auction sale last week of some of the personal effects of the late Senator Frank Brandegee of Connecticut. A por- trait of Mrs. Joseph Hopkinson by Sully was purchased for $2,050. The large portrait of the baptism of Pocahontas by John G.

The new wonder of medical sci- ence, sanocrysin, the discovery of a Danish sclentist,” who claims that it will cure tuberculosis, receives fa- vorable report from a Chicago sur- geon sent to Copenhagen to investi- gate it. The new drug, an fnorganic salt of gold, is now being experi- mented With by the United States Public Health Bureau, which is making tests on tubercular cattle. Tiny little friends of mankind who may sometimes be mustered into a service which will destroy disease are carefully housed in test tubes at the Johns Hopkins University lab- oratories. So small that they escape the human eye aided by the most powerful of microscopes, these “bacteriophages,”: or bacteria eaters, destroy the germs which cause ty- phoid fever, paratyphoid, dysentery and other diseases, but how they do it sclentists have been unable to de- termine. Innoculated with them, animals suffering from the diseases named have been cured and made immune. They can be also used to check the ravages of certain diseases among plants. Sclentists are making thelr plans rapidly for getting all they can from the short, total eclipse of the sun, which occurs the 24th of this month. Last week four special cameras built at the United States Naval Observa- tory here were shipped to Lakehurst, N. J., where they will be placed upon the dirigible Los Angeles, which will be turned over to scientists who hope to obtain good photographs of the eclipse. The dirigible will rise to a height of about 8,000 or 10,000 feet to take the photographs, and, as the eclipse will be total for only two minutes in one spot, the photog- raphers must do their work quickly. Educational. Consliderable discussion was aroused last week by advertisements in New York newspapers offering scholar- ships to athletes. The advertisements were traced to the headmaster of the Masse School for Boys at Shippan Point, Conn., who was widely criti- cized, but who replied that schools all over the country virtually do the same thing by allowing athletes to “buy” their way through school on the strength of their prowess in athletics. The Kansas State Agricultural Col- lege has added a final touch to its records of students by placing, along with the ratings of the different stu- dents, their photographs. Every stu- dent is required to file his photograph with the faculty when he enters col- lege. After the records of the stu- dent through his four years of college have been compiled and filed, his pic- ture is added, which results in the record's ceasing “to be a page, and becomes the student himself.” ‘While collegiate emrollment in the last 20 years has increased from four to six and one-half times as fast as the population, the many students who fail to make required marks con- stitute an appalling waste of money. Parents should be made to under- stand that children who are unfitted to recelve a college education may do well in life without it, and thus save money uselessly expended trying to educate them. No college or uni- versity course has been found which will predict professional schools’ suc- cess or failure as well as a two-hour intelligence test. These were some of the statements made before a meeting of the Amer- ican Association of Colleges in Chi- cago last week, IMANY STUDENTS ENTER HOWARD U Registration Date Extended to Take Care of Late Arrivals.
