10 * DSPUTE COLLEG G, SOCAL FUND Pennsylvania Clubwomen - Disagree Over Proposal { to Establish Loans. By Concolidated Press. PHILADELPHIA, October 27.— Proposal by the Pennsylvania Federa tion of Women's Clubs to establish a fund to make loans to girls while they are attending college, to further their social enjoyment, has aroused a storm of argument among clubwomen and educators here and in other sec- tions of the country. The proposal is not for a fund to aid in paying tuition, but to provide young women iwith money to dress well, attend entertainments and social functions and enjoy the social side of college life. At Temple University, where 4,143 women students are enrolled, a live- 1y interest is manifested in the pro- posal. Miss Laura H. Carnell, as- mociate president, highly approves such a step. “We have a revolving fund,” she said, “out of which loans are made to students to pay for tuition and other necessaries, and our experience is that 92 per cent of such loans are repaid. Manpy of our girl students have to practice great self-denial. It would undoubtedly be beneficial to zirl students if they could barrow moneyv to provide for comforts while at college. “Without question, there are many by which girl students‘can sup- plement their classroom studies if they have the money to attend the theater, opera and concerts, all of which, under proper guidance, may be edifying and beneficial. Organiza tions, even aside from spring up requiring fees and dues, and the student who is deprived of the sociability and experience these afford misses something in life which might he enjoyed if the fund agitated for by the Federation of Women's Clubs were available. Supervision Proposed. “Such loans should be carefully Nmited and expenditures supervised lest they lead to extravagance.” At the University of Pennsylvania, where 800 or more girls are studying, Miss Jean Crawford, director of wom- en, was much less enthusiastic over the plan. “I believe one appreciates the things it requires a struggle to possess,” she sald. “Surely it is part of an educa- tion to learn the value of money, but if it comes without labor we are apt to be extravagant. Many opportuni- tles are afforded in a city to earn suf- flcient at odd times to help one gain an education, and I am not quite sure that it is not better to gain self-re- liance by self-support than to run the risk of becoming careless through bor- rowing."” It is not only the girl pupils that are interested. The matter has be- come a burning question in the fra- ternity houses and eating clubs among the men. The question is be- ing widely debated as to whether if a man marry a girl who has bor- rowed from the revolving fund and has not repaid the debt, the bride- groom becomes liable for the pre- nuptial indebtedness of the bride. Men to Quiz Brides. The attitude of the *“hard boiled” is that, as they would not *“buy a pig in a pok: 1t have no intention of proposing marriage without the query, “How much do you owe?"” Mrs. Charles J. Bailey, prominent Omaha clubwoman, declared the in- novation may be proved worth while. 8he minimized the financial danger to prosnective bridegrooms. “Even if a 1 became engaged dur- ing college ¥ " she said, “it would be embarrass for her to ask her flance if he would be willing to pay for the pretty clothes she wears. “It is true that maifiy girls attend- ing college are deprived of many ad- wvantages through lack of funds to & well. Thus they are cut out of s which would develop their ability and charm and, in fact, make them better fitied to take place: either in the home ‘or the bus world. Of course I advocate moders tion both in dress and entertain- sororities,. BEHIND VEIL OF ATMOSPHERE Scientists View Planet in Ideal Position, But Expec_t Secret to Be Kept for Many Years. - L By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. October 27.—Mars, the ruddy world of mystery about which men have speculated for hundreds of years, iy not likely to yield very much information concerning its physical aspects until larger and more power- ful telescopes are made. This was the opinion of astronomers at Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay, Wis., who have been training their lenses on the enigma of the skies, now a scant 42,600,000 miled from a ques- tioning earth. - Weather was ideal at Williams Bay last night, but air currents interfered with observation, creating a° haze about the planet and causing its tele- scoptic imago to waver before eager oyes. Several sketches were made, however, and observations will be continued for the next two wecks. . Summer Well Advanced. Current scrutiny of the planet, which has two moons to the earth's one, has revealed that the Summer season is well advanced. The white spot at the north polar reglon, taken to be ice or snow, was considerably smaller than during the observations of August, 1924, the last time Mars was in a favorable position for inves- tigation. Prof. Willlam Fox of Dearborn Observatory, Northwestern Univer- sity, estimated the diameter of the cap at 240 miles. “Just now it is the Summer season on Mars,” he said. “and we find the polar cap reduced in size. I have seen dark lines indicat- ing rivers and canals, but these have been showing dimly of late because of unfavorable atmospheric conditions.” The intriguing question as to whether life exists on the planet stili remains a matter of conjecture, in the opinion of many astronomers. To the scientist life may mean the least hint of vegetationi deducted from apparent climatic and atmospheric changes, but to the man in the street life means only .one_thing—human life. Prof. Edwin B: Frost of Yerkes be- lieves that if life exists on Mars, it is of such a low form that the building of canals, ythe operating of light signals to the earth and other mani- festations occasionally attributed to “Martians” are impossible. Former Existence Possible. It is possible, he sald, that a high form of life did exist on Mars millions of years ago, but with the passing ages sclentists have shown that at- mosphere diminishes rather than in- creases. The air on Mars, Prof. Frost =aid, is one-thirtieth the weight of the air on the earth, while temperature changes are extreme, ranging from 30 to 40 degrees above freezing at noon to 100 to 150 below freezing at midnight. Another thrust at the man-life theory came from Dr. W. H. Steaven- son, astronomical observer at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Eng- land, who said that efforts to pick up wigwags from Mars are all “bun- kum.” “All we hope to do and gain in 40 to 50 years is some definite idea of the climate and physical conditions and afterward by deduction decide whether Martians really exist.” The attention of scientists in all parts of the world has been attracted to Mars this week because it is nearer the earth than it will be again until 1939. It is a little farther away than in 1 but its position in the sky, above the north horizon, makes it ideal for-study. On its visit two years ago many radio listeners picked up signals they eould not identify and expressed the belief that Martians were attempting to communicate with the world. MARS BLAMED FOR STORMS. Quakes and Bad Weather in Europe Laid to Planets’ Juxtaposition. PARIS, October 27 (P).—The ap- proach of the earth toward Mars and the prevalence of earth shocks are popularly believed to be responsible for the spell of extremely bad weath- Nothin &4 ever quite - like em‘/’ er from .which Western and Central Europe is suffering. One form of inclemency follows another. Gales and thunderstorms and hail and snow are causing havoc on land and sea and the weather observers promise no relief. They say that the. wave is moving eastward and now has reached the Balkans, but that an- other is coming in from the Atlantic. ‘There have been heavy falls of snow with low temperatures all over Hun- gary. A hurricane in the Baranya district along the Danube has crip- pled telegraphic services and para- lyzed raliroad communication. Some houses collapsed and a number of per- sons were injured by falling walls. MUSIC THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA. The Stokowskians, perhaps the best loved of all visiting symphony orchestras that come to Washington —affectionally known as “The Phil- lies”—gave their first program of the 1926-27 season in this city at the ‘Washington Auditorium yesterday afternoon before the largest audience that they have ever had here. Social as well as musical circles were well represented, and enthusiasm over the performance rose to the proportions of an ovation several times for both Leopold Stokowski and his orchestra. The same program that was pre- sented earlier in New York was given here, but without the lack of illumi- nation that was a unique feature of the New York concert. Johann Sebgs- tian Bach was honored with first pldce on the program and his choralvor- splel, “Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme,” was given forceful presenta- tion, with fascinatingly clean-cut ex- position of them and counter-theme throughout the work. Vayghan Willlams’ musiclanly work for orchestra “Fantasia on a Theme of Tallys,” is an example of subtle weaving of melody in varied patterns maintaining the sixteenth century at- mosphere ameazingly well. It is an interesting contribution to orchestral programs. On the other hand, “Le Prophete” by Ernest Pingoud, a Russlan com- voser now living in Finland, seems even more by contrast with the Eng- lishman’'s work to be a loosely jointed affair with a lack of unity in its va- rious component parts. It has mo- ments of - organlike richness and solemnity — beautiful, inspirational music. Interspersed with these are bits of frolicking pandemonium such as one finds in *“Till Eulenspiegel.” And, yet again, there are decidedly Oriental strains such as that other Russian, 'Rimsky-Korsakoff, has made use of effectively. The real feature of the whole pro- gram, beside which all other music of the afternoon paled into almost for- getfulness, was the performance of Brahms' “First Symphony in C Minor.” Here, more than anywhere else, was the domination of Stokow- ski's remarkable conductorial per- sonality emphasized. He gave the great work an inspirational reading. With the opening notes of the first movement the audience was launched into a wonderland of music magic. In the second movement in the solo part for first violin, the new concert- meister, Michel Gusikoff, made his local debut effectively. His tone color was beautiful in this passage. The symphony was carried always up- ward_ to the most stirring of climaxes in that supremely beautiful. finale that begins with the famous “song of the horn.” It proved a marvelous experience. H. F. G .STAR MARS HIDES RIDDLE OF ITS LIFE EXHAUSTION OF L HELD IMPOSSIBLE Petroleum Institute Head Sees Unlimited Supply . and New Economies. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 27.—The exhaus- tion of America's natural store of motor fuel was put beyond the realm of probabilities by W. S. Farish, president of the American Petroleum Institute, in a survey of thé oil indus- try today before the third conference on education and industry at the University of Chicago. Not only did he point out virtually unlimited sources of supply, but he predicted that new fuel economies and new motor efficiencies will compensate or even overbalance any increase in fuel cost. Sees Another Supply. Should our supply of well oil be- come exhausted at some distant.date, he said, we already are.assured of fuel similar tv gasoline from raw ma- terials such as oil shale and coal. These reduction. processes have now advanced to such a stage that Mr. Farish ventured the opinion that they will be put on a sound com- mercial basis as soon as gasoline prices advance materially from pres- ent levels. Even with this vast supply in view, Mr. Farish said, there are current extravagances in the industry which are inexcusable. Laws Blamed for Waste. To the very nature of the oil fleld, in its rush to find fortunes in newly discovered flelds akin to the gold rushes of earlier days, he attributed some of the fault, but he Al ly blamed the petroleym laws and pE eral barriers against consolidations for much of the wastefulness. An in- tense and generally costly competi- tion was shown as a result. ‘The failure of the laws to give title to the ofl until it has reached the surface, he pointed out, makes for feverish competition in a new fleld to catch as much as possible of the subterranean pool. New Post for Col. T. H. Jackson. Col. T. H. Jackson, Corps of En- gineers, in charge of river and harbor works in the vicinity of San Fran- cisco, has just been appointed by the President, a member of the California Debris Commission, created by act of Congress. ITALY TO RECLAIM LAND. 495,000 Acres in Southern Moun- tains to Be Improved. ROME, October 27 (P).—It is an- nounced that $17,600,000 will be spent in reclaiming 496,000 acres of waste land in Calabria. Work will begin in the Spring. Calabria is a mountainous region, forming the “toe” of the Italian pe- ninsula. It is traversed from end to end by the Apennine Mountains, which bear extensive forests. Many parts are very fertile, and there are fine pastures. The products include wine, ofl, griffffi~cotton, rice, saffron, licorice and Southern fruits. = 100 Funerals AS LOW AS Macedoine Salad Those left-over vegetables— transform theminto “com; salads with the piquant of Milani’s French Dressing.
