Such rules were not adopted last year, as it was the first year for the college, although the graduate school of the university is of several years’ standing. Freshmen have been placed at the “tender” mercies of a “gosling court,” of which a tall and athletic sopho- more, Courtney Hayward, had previ- ously been appointed “royal gander.” Series of Contests.

Brecial Dispatch to The Star TORONTO, October 9.—Licensing travelers through forests, as a means ©f protecting Canada’s timber wealtlr from the ravages of fire, is advocated by the Canadian Forestry Association Rolson Black, editor of Forest and Dutdoors, believes that a forest is po- tentially almost as dangerous as a wder magazine. and advocates the ssuance of travel permits, without which no one would be permitted to travel through any forest region dur- ing those seasons when there is dan. ger from forest fires. The advantage of this system, savs Ir. Black, would be twofold. The rmality of securing a permit would ing forcibly to mind the real dan- rs of forest fires and, since a per- ait can be revoked. the possibility of forfeit would make the traveler careful. The preservation of Canadian for- asts, Mr. Black says., would assure to Canada an annual income of half a billion dollars for all time to come. .

EVIEWING the high lights of the National Woman's Chris- tian Temperance Union con- vention, which closed Thurs- day in Los Angeles, where more than 3,000 delegates were gathered, one is struck by two things | —the comprehensive legislative pro- gram outlined, which included far more than indorsement of prohibition measures, and the optimistic tenor of reports on the temperance situation, brought before the convention both by its own officials and by outside speakers. Legislative work assigned to the headquarters staff at Washington will include, first, of course, backing for a number of important bills beating on the liquor question and on law en- forcement. The delegates voted to en- dorse the Cramton bill which provides for reorganization of the prohibition unit and the customs service and the vlacing of prohibition agents under civil service; a second Crampton bill calling for civil service status for dry agents, the Hudson-Jones bill to establish a United States border patrol and a bill calling for the deportation of aliens convicted of violating prohi- bition regulations. Branching out into other fields, the program cails for the organization to lend its aid in obtaining adequate ap- propriations for the Children’s Bureau, the Woman'’s Bureau, the Home Eco- nomics Bureau and the junior division of the United States employment serv- ice, and to work for the passage of laws for the protection of the Indians from the use of the drug peynte, for & Federal Department of Educatlon, an increase in the number of Army and Navy chaplains, an improved in- dustrial program for Federal prison- ers, Federal regulations of the stand- ards of motion pictures and abolition of child labor, acceptance and enforce- ment of the maternity and infancy act, the protection of wage-earning women and the removal of legal dis- criminations against women. Mrs. Lenna Lowe Yost, legislative chairman, in her report, following which the legislative program was in- dorsed, expressed appreciation of the manner In which the liquor problem was handled during the past session of Congress and great optimism for “an overwhemingly dry assemblage in the Seventieth Congress.” Mrs. Yost urged that every precaution be taken to get out the dry vote in the present elections in order to insure the maximum election of dry nomi- nees. “We of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, who watch so closely the actlvities of Congress, dis- approve the popular criticism of our national lawmakers,” said Mrs. Yost. ‘e believe the fashion of ridiculing Congress is dangerous, in that it seems to be a part and parcel of the conspiracy to break down wholesome respect for our laws and our national institutio; “Congress Is in earnest about pro- hibition,” she continued. “Its good faith and purpose are seen in the fact that at the present session it ap- propriated $29,000,000 to enforce the law; that it enacted the law strength- ening the Coast Guard, one of whose primary duties at present is the in- terception of rum runners and smug- glers, and in the great number of treaties negotlated with foreign coun- tries, giving us the aid of most of Eu- rope, Canada and Mexico In stopping illicft rum trade. “These things accomplished by our lawmakers are enormous barriers against the lurking criminals of the liquor traffic and in themselves are complete refutations of the wet state- ment that this country is interested in_ abolishing the Volstead act and ibringing back the legalized manufac- ture, sale and use of intoxicants.

McAdoo in his address before the convening body. “Prohibition can be enforced if we have the will to do it, and to admit that we cannot do it is to admit the failure of democratic government,” said Mr. McAdoo. ‘“The issue is no longer whether prohibition shall be established, but whether the Constitu- tion is to be preserved.” The will of the people was indi- cated, he added, when they adopted the eighteenth amendment. It would not have been adopted unless public opinion had strongly supported it. It has been sustained by the highest ju- dicial tribunals as the supreme law of the land, he asserted. “Prohibition is the greatest moral and economic victory ever achieved in human histol concluded Mr. Mc- Adoo. “Its benefits to the masses al- ready have been incalculable. The test of a law is not the number of people who are punished for violation, but the number who are sustained by it.” The lawlessness and crime of our great cities have not resulted from the prohibition policy, but from the innate lawlessness of those who de- liberately refuse obedience to the Con- stitution and laws of their country, he said, adding: “Would the repeal of the Volstead act and the restoration of saloons de- crease crime and improve morals? No llqlul\l’ advocate dare claim that it will.” * ¥ k% RS.

Sherman and Mrs. Maggie \W. Bar- ry, president and chairman of the de- partment of the American home, re- spectively, urging members of the General Federation of Women's Clubs to assist in the intensive campaign which has been inaugurated for the purpose of securing recognition of the home and the home maker in the cen- sus of the United States. ‘The plan of campaign, as outlined in the letter, suggests two definite lines of action to be followed by all member clubs. First, they are ad- vised to have State federations and local clubs indorse a memorandum presented to Secretary Hoover, and to secure indorsements from outside organizations, both men and women, coples of such indorsements to be sent to Secretary Herbert Hoover, United States Department of Commerce, Washington, and also to the General Federation headquarters. The memorandum advocates “that the class of women referred to in the first sentence of paragraph 158— ‘Women doing the housework'—of ‘Instructions to Enumerators,’ United State Census Bureau. be listed in col- umn 26 of the population schedule as ‘home makers,” and that in the new blank corresponding space in column 27 the word ‘home’ be written.” Second, the clubs are urged to cre- ate public sentiment in their own States that will insure that their rep- resentatives in Congress support such changes in the census and vote for those who are willing to express that demand. According to Mrs. Barry, the urban survey, made by her department re- cently, reveals that home equipment is far below the standard of efficiency in the great industrial, commercial and professional work shops. These have attained their efficiency because the Government, through the census, is constantly revealing their needs. “And the home will continye to be inadequately sequipped until it has similar recognition in the machinery of the Government.” said Mrs. Barry. “Unless we, as home makers, believe in ourselves and our work and ask for this recognition, we cannot expect others to give it to us. “The home is at the crossroads. The club women of America must guide it into the right road. Recognition by the Census Bureau is the first step.” 5 *x JISS SARA GROGAN, member of the national council of the Wom- Party, and ex-chairman of the District _branch, will sail for Europe on October 16, in company with Miss Sara Bruce Hobbs qf Georgia, one of the founders of the Georgia State branch, and Mrs. L.

TEACH SCHOOL PUPILS HOW TO RIDE ON TRAINS Berlin Announces Course of In- struction for All Children in Advanced Grades. BERLIN, October 9 (#).—Pupils in the advanced grades of the public schools are to be taught how to ride on a railroad trgin. The text book has been issued BV the National Rail- ways Administration and contains among other things a chapter de- signed to eliminate controversies pver possession of seats, which frequently lead to fist fight ““The mere depositing of luggage in the rack above a seat” the syllabus says, “does not reserve the seat in the absence of the passenger. A visit- ing card or a piece of luggage tagged with the owner's name must be left on the seat.” The book also reveals that if a pas- senger on a through trip misses con- nections at a junction point because the first train is late, he can return j tofore.

Jazz has succeeded in putting the Georgetown -Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Band on the map this season. Due credit is given the prevailing craze, at least by the military staff, in acknowledging the initial success of Bandmaster Shaeffer’s smart aggrega- istence of a musicians’ colony among the 430 freshmen was revealed at the first call for volunteers. Here- Shaeffer was forced to emulate Diogenes in coralling capable | bandsmen. But times, evidently, have changed, thanks to the age of jazz. Ffty volunteers responded to the first cali, some bringing their own #lari- nets, saxophones and trap drums. One rehearsal convinced Mr. Schaeffer that he had the nucleus of a band that could be used in the dance hall as well as on the parade ground. Then came the question of uni- forms, with the influence of jazz again manifesting itself. The aesthetic youth shuddered at the mere thought of the sombre khaki of the infantry- men. “What's a band without the proper trimmings?"’ they complained. As a consequence, the eyes of specta- tors opened at vesterday's game with Washington College when 48 cadet bandsmen, garbed in natty blue and white, marched proudly onto the field. The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps | Band had staged a “come-back” and it is now the pride of the Georgetown unit. Backed By Commandant. Lieut. Col. Augustus F. Dannemil- ler, commandant at the Hiltop, Is a great booster of the new band. He in- tends to make frequent use of it at drills and parades. Furthermore, he has opened its ranks to the entire stu- dent body. Any student, whether a member of the Reserve Offlcers’ Train- ing Corps or not, who feels the musi- cal urge, has been invited to join. So long as the generosity of the War De- partment holds out, instruments will be furnished all who make the grade. A new interest has been awakened in the cadet battalion itself. Since Georgetown has regained its place in the stinguished” list of the 3d Corps Area there has been a rush to join_the colors. Col. Dannemiller is confident the battalion will repeat its success of last season and retain its honor, which is on a competitive basis. The War Department has limited enroliment in the R. O. T. C. to 435 cadets this year. Georgetown reached this limit the first week. However, under a special concession in the or- dinances, students are admitted for training without being officially en- rolled. Under this ruling latest reg- istration figures give the total as 513 members, nearly twice the size of the battalion last year, Considering the fact that enlistment at Georgetown is voluntary, Col. Dannemiller is elated over the interest of the student body in the War De- partment’s efforts to build up a force of trained reserve office: The same interest is being shown by the medical students, 201 of whom have applied for training. This number approxi. mates 80 per cent of the entire stu- dent body at the school. Many Officers Graduated. Despite the fact that military train- ing is voluntary at the Hillt Georgetown graduated more reserve officers last June than most of the schools in the 3d Corps Area. This t was explained, to the fact hools where training is com- for first-year students, a ma- drop out of the e without earning th: commissions Medals were awarded to the mem- bers of the first platoon, Company D, of the Georgetown unit on September s the best drilled unit in the la v.

RED WING, Minn., October Indian medicine men of British Co- lumbia consider material remedies good enough for bruises, small cuts and other minor ailments, but whe a patlent is really ill they met their most potent “medicine,” whicl is music.

Views Hop Harvest. Each Autumn_hundreds of Indians from all over British Columbia are brought _to the hop fields along the Fraser River Valley to work at gather. ing the hop harvest. Miss Densmore took advantage of this unusual gather- ing of tribes to bring her phonograph in order, to preserve and compare their songs. This enabled her to interview the singers from among more than 1,000 Indians, representing a number of tribes. “British Columbia is so ves and diversified.” she stated, on return ing to her home here, “that I ob tained songs about the whale, seal and shark from Indians living by the ocean and songs about the 110untain goat and deer from inland tribes. ) have songs from the west coast of Vancouver Island and others from In- dians living along the Fraser, Thomp- son, Skeena and Nass Rivers.

One song for example, says, ‘You will be cured: the whale is going to help me cure you.""

She also visited Cape Flattery to record songs of the Quileute, said to be the most successful hunters of the hair seal. o v large “SACK” NOW CHAMPAGNE.
