In the past the convoca- tion exe ses have generally~ been held at the amphitheater in the grove at the university grounds, and those last June were an exception. Anvouncement has been made at American Unjversity that there will be the usual observance of the Wash- ington's birthday holiday, with a ces- sation of work in all departments, and that also Inaugurgtion day, March 4, will be observed as a holiday. The hour of meeting of the course In current legislation, conducted by Representative Rathbone of Tllinois, has been changed from Friday eve- ning, as was originally intended, to Monday evening at 8 o'clock, for the convenience of Mr. Rathbone and the class. The lectures are open to the public, but those who wish to obtain academic credit for the work must register in'the university for the course.

It will be directed by David J. Nevin, dire tor of publicity for the “Y” and other organizations. John Henry Miller, veteran news- paper editor, has been engaged as “night” city’ editor. Editors of the local papers and members of Congress wh johave been successful in the newspaper “game,” have promised to make addresses. Lectures will be glven two nights a week, and on three other nights students will be sent out to cover actual assignments. The course will be in no wise a school of journalism, according to Mr. Nevin. It is to teach the practical side of newspaper work, the student to receive the same training as he would get in a newspaper office. It will cover newspaper practice from the time a plece of news is obtained at Its source by the reporter, given to his city editor, then to the news edi- tor and copy editors. He will be un- der the same rules and discipline as obtain in a newspaper office, and his will be handled in the same 6. U. STARTS BOOM FORNEW INSTITUTE Rev. G. L. Coyle Begins Tour of Country for Chemical Research Project. | Rev. George L. Coyle, & J. pro- {fessor of chemistry at Georgetown University, left Washington yester- day on the fist leg of & nation-wide tour in the interests of the Chemical- Medical Research Institute, which the {university proposes to establish in the near future. Georgetown officials are greatly en- couraged by the widespread interest they report manifested in the project. While the financlal aid is a blg under- {taking, an initial endowment of $3,- | 680,000 being necessary to put the in- | stitute in operation, Father Coyle has been given assurances that the fuli {amount can be raised within the next year, at least, it is sald. Father Coyle goes first to New York to confer with various men in- erested in the project and will visit ither cities in the East, returning to | shington early in March. Later, intends to go through the West, | ending in California, where he will| attend the annual session of the {American Chemical ociety. This orgunization, comprising the best iknn\\'l\ chemists and scientists in the country, is taking a keen interest in the Georgetown project, and many of its influential members are lending their co-operation toward its estab- lishment. he Dr. Scott Honored. Dr. James Brown Scott, distin- guished internationalist and member of the faculty of the Georgetown For- cign Service School, has returned from Lima, Peru, laden with fresh honors. At Lima. Dr. Scott repre- sented the Governiment at the Pan- American Scientific Congr At the |same time he served as president of the American Institute of Interna- tional Law, which met in connection with the congress. Dr. Scott is head of the United States delegation that is co-operating with the delegations from each of the American republics to prepate a code of international law for the use of the 21 republics of the Western Hemisphere. While in Peru, Dr. Scott was hon- ored by the President of Peru, who made him an official guest of the government during his stay there. Among oMher honors bestowed upon him was the honorary degree of doc- tor of laws of the facuity of political and economic science of the Univer- sity of San Marcos.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. LEIPZIG, January 26—The original manuscript of a Beethoven wedding song was recently found attached to another manuseript in the possession of the firm of Breitkopf & Haertel, Beethoven's musical publishers. The song was composed on the oc- casion of the marriage, February 6, 1819, of the daughter of Giannatanasio del Rie, principal of the boarding school ~attended by Beethoven's nephew Carl. All trace of the song had been lost until an employe of Breitkopf & Haer- tel, searched for Beethoven's piano concertos written in the master's hand. The song was fastened to one of them by a clip. me Lectures. Stamp Brings 51,000 Francs. A blue 81 Rumanian-Moldavian stamp of 1858 issue was sold recent- 1y in France for 51,000 francs.

Corbett of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States De- partment of “Agriculture addressed a meeting of the Horticulture Club on Wednesday. He spoke on the possibili- ties for graduates in this line of work. HOWARD U. OFFERS NEW SCIENCE COURSE Physical Anthropology Classes Taught by Dr. M. J. Her- skovitis Are Started. Howard University introduced week a new course in its the elements of physical anthro- pology. The course is being con- ducted by Dr. M. J. Herskovitis, a student who received his training un- der the noted anthropologist, Dr. Frank Boas of Columbla University. The new course began Monday, and will continue throughout the remain- der of the school year. The prerequisites for entering is nine units of collegiate work. Seventy- seven siudents have been enrolled. According to a report made to the board of trustees at its seml-annual meeting held Tuesday, by its commit- tee on the school of law, this partic- vlar school of the university is set up as a model for the other schools of the university in the progress it has made as to its administration from a physical £nd academic point of view, The chairman of the committee, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, commended the administrative officers and the fac- ul# upon the work which the law school is doing, stating that it is worthy of being placed alongside of the standard law schools of the country. An official report made by Dr. Em- mett J. Scot{, business manager of the board of athletic control of How- ard University, which board had charge of th3 nanagement of the foot ball classic played at Washington Thanksgiving day, 1924, showed the gross receipts amounted to $18,341.75. This sum represents the largest amount ever receved for a single ath- Jetic event in the history of negro col- leges. The receipts from the classic in 1923, when the game was played at Philadelphia, amounted to $16,578.98. Rev. Joseph R.

A special offering of 35,000 shares of stock, issued by the New York Cen- tral Railway system, to be purchased by its employes, was eagerly over- subscribed 176 per cent last week. The shares have a par value Of $9,690,000. In all 41,570 employes sub- scribed. The Soviet government in Russia is gravely concerned because of a fall- ure of the crops sown last Fall. An unusually mild Winter, with little snow and rain, has affected crops ad- versely. and the government has dis- tributed something like 70,000,000 gold rubles to provide additional sow- ing material for the next harvest. One hundeed million pounds of SOW- ing wheat also have been distributed. Canada has put many of her World War veterans on farms. A report last week to the House of Commons in Ottawa showed that 30,604 Cana- dian veterans have been ' established on farms. About 24,000 of them were granted loans, the rest receiving land grants outright from the Canadian government. The Senate last weck directed the Federal Trade Commission to investi- gate alleged monopolies in electrical power and tobacco industries. The Ford Motor Co. which now builds automobiles, operates a rail- road running from its own mines and owns its own forests, now plans to enter the shipping business and last week purchdsed a large vessel, which, it was announced, will be the first of a fleet to carry its products to for- elgn lands. The surcharge or extra tax on Pull- man car fares wouid be removed un- der an amendment to the independent offices appropriation bill, which was approved by the Senate last week. The Interstate Commerce Commission recently refused to remove the charge. History. Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes have been finally elected President and Vice President, respectively, of the United States. On Wednesday Con- gress, “in joint convention assembled, formally attested the results of the No- vember election after the manner de- creed in the Constitution. The Senate, preceded by the sergeant-at-arms and accompanied by pages carrying the elec- toral votes in locked boxes, marched to the House chamber. Senator Cummins, President pro tempore of the Senate, presided at the joint session with Speak- er Gllett on the dias at his left. Tellers took charge of the ballots, opening ti envelopes fn alphabetical order and an- nounced the results. Following the cere- mony both houses resumed their reutine sessions. Washington will not see another “old- time” {nauguration March 4. The in- augural committee, after fruitlessly pleading with President Coolidge to “let down the bars” and have a great cele- bration of his induction into office March 4, has abandoned the idea of construct- ing stands along Pennsylvania avenue and rescinded fts appropriation for fire- worke on the evening of March 4. The parade, which will be exclusively mili- tary, will not take more than one hour to pass a given point. Plans are going forward steadily, however, for the charity ball, which will take the place of the inaugural ball of former years. President Coolidge is planning a very short inaugural address, according to those who have talked the subject over with him at the White House. It will compare in brevity with that of former President Cleveland, it is said, who took only 12 minutes to deliver hie speech. Woman suffrage is to be Belgium's big question for decision when she elects members of Parliament in April.. The chamber of deputfes fs about equally divided on the subject, %0 the Belgium government has de- cided to dissolve Parllament at the end of this month and leave the ques- tion yp to the country for decision. An odd bit of history turns up in France, where a soclety has been formed with the purpose In view of clearing the name of Baron Gilles de Rais, marshal of France and com- panion in arms of Joan of Arc. The baron, tradition had it, obtained gold 500 years ago by killing 800 children, which also served the purpose of pla- cating the devil. The society claims it has discovered a vein of gold under the baron's chateau, and it wants the courts to pronounce formally that he got his money by working this gold mine—and not through @n alliance with the devil. he British Parliament opened Tuesday after a long recess. Led by Prime Minister Baldwin, and with the congervative element in the majority, the Parllament will consider a pro- gram of legislation which includes a. proposal to return to the protective tariff as a method of nurturing na- tive industries; a proposal to prohibit the trade unions from levying from the salaries of their members for the support of the Labor party, and a measure which would remove the last legal barriers to reuniting the Church of Scotland, which has been spiit since 1843, over the question of state interference with freeworship. From his exile at Doorn, Holland, former Kaiser William of Germany, is quoted in an interview as seeing a world peril in the recently com- pleted alliance between Soviet Russia and Japan. “The pertl which I, alone, among the rulers of Kurope, predicted a quarter of a century ago now has materialized,” he said. After months of wrangling, mark- ed by sharp disagreement resulting in the American delegation quitting the conference, the International oplum conference at Geneva has ad- journed. It accomplished two things: First, an agreement between seven nations, Great Britain, France, Japan, Holland, India, Portugal and Saim, to discontinue oplum smoking in she colonial possessions of the Far East within 15 years after China has curbed overproduction and smug- gling; second, an agreemeént between six of the seven nations that the “farming” system of oplum traffic shall be abolished and government monopolies substituted. As it s doubtful when China will be able to curb its overproduction or regulate traffic, the first accomplishment is considered by some as of doubtful im- portance. The second merely takes the business of exporting and han- dling oplum out of the hands of private concerns and puts it under government regulation. It does not affect production of opfum in any way. Civics. \ The three-cornered row between the general staff of the Army, the Navy and Gen. Willlam E. Mitchell, assistant chief of the Army air serv- ice, continued during the week with little signs of a let-up, officers of all branches testifying for and against Gen. Mitchell's plan for a unified air service, to which the Navy and the general staff of the Army are op- posed. Several officers” of the Navy alr service spoke in favor of a sepa- rate aviation corps for the Navy. It was Indicated that the Secretary of War would withhold recommend- ing Gen. Mitchell's nomination to continue as assistant chief of the air service until the Investigating com- mittees of the House now conducting hearings complete their findings. For the second time within a few of Students. weeks the President is having hard sledding getting his nominations ap- proved by the Senate. Last week op- position ‘which’ has been developing agalnst Charles B. Warren, nomi- nated by the President to be Attor- ney General, reached such propor- tions the administration leaders de- cided to walt until the new Senate assembles in extra session March. 4 before trylng to have the nomina- tion approved. The opposition to Mr. ‘Warren centers around his connec- tlon with the sugar interest In the new Senate the Republicans claim to have a working majority, irrespective of the “insurgents” and Democrats who would oppose the nomination. ————— . Choosing from a list of more than 125 names recommended to him by Congressmen and farm organizations from all parts of the country, the Prestdent has decided to appoint Dr. Willlam M. Jardine, president of the Kansas State Agricultural College to succeed Secretary Gore as Secretary of Agriculture. He was unanimously indorsed last week by the Kansas dolegation In Congress which previ- ously had indorsed J. C. Mohler, also of Kansas, for the post. The Senate last week ratified, with several reservatlons attached, the commercial treaty with Germany negotiated by the State Department to serve as a model of similar treaties with other countries. The reservations are understood not to be entirely acceptable to the State Department. When a newspaper reporter dis- covered by accldent that President Coolidge rides an electric “horse,” similar to those provided in some gymnasiums and on shipboard, to provide exercise, he started a story which probably went all the way around the world, for it somehow struck the public’'s “funnybone.” Already allusions to the President's hobby are heard and seen in editorial comments and editorials, and the House went Into an uproar last week when a Democrat recited a poem he had written on the subject. Some Republicang at first objected to the poem on the ground the House rules forbade ridiculing the President, but the Democrats stood out for the right to read it, arguing that nobody could pass judgment on it before it was read When was placed in the Record there no attempts to expunge it. it were The House is in the midst campaign among candidates for the next speakership, which apparently has narrowed down to two, Repre- sentative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio and Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois. The former, it is now claimed, has the best chance to | win. A new angle was injected into the situation last week when Repre- sentative Britten of Illinois, campaign manager for Mr. Madden, gave out a statement saying in effect that as Mr. Madden in all probability would want the.speakership for one term only and would retire immediately after- ward, it would be a “graceful” thing for Mr. Longworth to retire from the race and then succeed Mr. Madden when he left Congress. Mr. Madden, however, came back with a state- ment to the effect that no person was authorized to say that he wanted the speakership for only one term nor that he intended to retire from Con- gress. > Science. The new rotorship Buckau. which is propelled by the turning of two large cylinders, or towers, which stand up- right from her decks, made what may become an epic voyage last week when she crossed the Baltlic Sea in the face of heavy seas and strong gales. At times the ship proceeded under the combined power of her propeller and the rotors, although the captain said the vessel could have made progress with the rotors alone. It was one of the first real tests of this new ship, which is propelled through the water by the towers, which revolve at the rate of from 40 to 110 revolutions per minute. She is dependent neither upon the wind nor upon the condition of the water. The moon endeavored to rival her stunt of a few weeks ago when she eclipsed the sun, by undergoing a par- tial eclipse herself last week, but the show was a miserable failure, because it was staged in the afternoon. The earth, sailing between the. moon and the sun, eclipsed the former 72 per cent. After ten years of study, physicians at Johns Hopkins University in Balti- more have successfully produced a new antiseptic which is fifty times stronger than carbolic acld, and yet harmless in its effects on man. It will cure disease- stricken tissues within a remarkably short period, but may be swallowed without ill effects. Quantities of the drug are being sent to various parts of the country for testing by hospitals and physicians. Two Chicago physicians, a man and his wife, have been recommended for the 1925 Nobel prize in medicine as a result of their work in preventing scar- let fever. The physicians, Dr. George F. Dick and Dr. Gladys H. Dick, were recommended by the Gorgas Memorial Institute for Tropical and Preventive Medicine, which asserted the two had worked thirteen vears in perfecting an antitoxin which it asserts has proveh a success. Georgetown University announced through its president last week that $5,000,000 has been raised and more is in sight to establish a great chem- ical-medical research institution at the university. The plans are that it would be a world center for scientists who are always working to find the cause and cure of disease More than two and one-half million dollars of the necessary $3,000,000 has been raised by a foundation which is working to establish at Johns Hopkins University the William Holland Wil- mer Institute for the study and treat- ment of diseases of the eye. The in- stitution will be directed by Dr. William Holland Wilmer, famous eye speclalist of this city. The Rockefel- ler interests have promised to donate a large sum toward the project, pro- vided the $3,000,000 is raised by those who are planning the institute. Dr. Edwin Hubble, of the Mount Wilson Observatory of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, and Dr. L. R Cleveland, a National Research Council fellow attached to Johns Hopkins University, have been se- lected to share the $1,000 annual prize donated for the greatest contribution toward the advancement of science. The award, which is given through the American Assoclation for the Ad- vancement of Sclence, was given this year for the work of both men for discoveries in connection with the “spiral nebulae,” dense ‘‘swarms’ of stars—the most distant objects thus far discovered in the universe. The Sargasso Sea, supposed to be a vast, green’plain of seaweed lying somewhere between Cyba and Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, and sometimes referred to as the “graveyard of the Atlantic,” is to be searched for and, if found, put through search to dis- cover what it really is.

The junior prom committee of Catholic University has put the final touches on arrangements for its an- nual promenade, Friday night, in the large ball room at the City Club. The committee is under the chairmanship of J. Leonard Rutledge of Hartford, Conn. Ted Weems and his artists will occupy the orchestra platform. The committee is optimistic and if tradition holds true the dance will be the gala soclal event of the year. From the university faculty the juniors’ guests of honor will be Prof. and Mrs. Thomas J. MacKavanagh, Dr. and Mrs. Hardee Chambliss, Prof. and Mrs. Leo Behrendt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fox Borden. Monday evening, February 23, at 8:20 o'clock, the University Dramatic Association will present George M. Cohan’s famous farce “Seven Keys to Baldpate.” Joseph English, instruc- tor in dramatics, has been coaching the embryo actors and is looking for a perfect outcome. Thomas Locraft of Washington, a member of the senior class, has designed the stage settings. The cast includes a num- Ver of student actors of wide experi- ence. John F.
