" HOOVER EXTOLLED BY COLLEG HEA Dr. Hibben and Dr. Garfield Appraise Candidate at Auditorium. Herbert Hoover's qualifications for the presidency were appraised here last night by two college presidents and given their hearty approval. Dr. John Grier Hibben, president of Princeton University, and Dr. Harry A. «‘Garfield, president of Williams College, told a large audience in the Washing- ton Auditorium that they favor Hoover for the Nation's next Chief Executive because of his demonstrated abilities for a2 post. Both educators deplored the injection of religion into the campaign. They said the voters should be guidad in their decision between the nominees by sound, unemotional logic. It was the first ap- pearance of Dr. Hibben in the role of a political orator. The meeting was held ~ under auspices of the local unit of the National Hoover-Curtis University ‘Committee. Assails Bigotry. Dr. Hibben said “it is a matter of “ great regret and indignation as well that in this campaign there should be any evidence of religious intolepance and bigotry.” He declared that reason “can function only when it operates freely, completely relieved of all the perturbations of prejudice.” He asserted that the present election can mn no wise be considered as involv- ing a referendum on the eighteenth amendment, and Dr. Garfleld said that 3 Hoover is elected President the ques- tion of prohibition will be dealt with sympathetically by one who believes that “‘a noble experiment in the inter- ests of the American home” is at stake. | “Herbest Hoover believes,” Dr. Gar- field saiu, ‘that the eighteenth amend- ment should not be abandoned until the American people are satisfied that another way is the better way-—better for. homes, for mothers, for children and not better for the manufacturer or importer of distilled spirits and wines,” Warns of Farm Aid, Dr. Garfield declared the farmer should make a careful choice between the two men aspiring to the White House. He pointed out that Hoover was born in the Middle West, and has had far more opportunity to learn and un- derstand the farmers’ problems than < has Gov. Smith, reared on “the side- walks of New York.” Dr. Garfield 1s the oldest son of President James A. Garfleld.

However, Friends Above Are Anxious to Ex- change Good Wishes. LONDON, October 25 (#).—Small ears and long antennae in England strained in vain to catch a return mes- sage from the big-cared folk of Mars. to whom a wireless message was dis- patched yesterday morning. Dr. Mansfield Robinson, the me: author of , who professes acquaint- ance with the Martians through tele- pathic means, clings stoutly to his faith in the possibility of intcrplanetary con- versations. He admits that no response was received, but insists that his friends up yonder are anxious to exchange good wishes with him. The wording of the mess_ge to Mars | remains a mystery.

Wants Greater Wave Length. This went on an 18,700-meter wave length, and not a sound came back. Dr. Robidson thinks the wave length was too short. He hopes that some American millionaire will “put up a few shillings” for a 30,000-meter wave length. In the meantime Mrs. Robinson, wife of the doctor, remained an exasperated woman, shooing away reporters, who hoped to get some inside information frcm her. She declared boldly that the experiment was nonsensical, and is amt:d by the Evening Standard as say- g “It's all foolishness. Messages can< not be sent to Mars.
