There are ‘mmong these hardboiled old birds some ,of whom have seen and experienced mearly everything and to whom a voyage in search of the news means usualy only a reason for getting away from the family. But this time they are as bright eyed “with excitement as any one else. There ds first the prospect of a great party in romantic lands where hospitality is a religion. Next, there is the unique specter of the occasion—nothing just -like it ever occurred before. Naval Officers Excited. But beyond and above that is a sense ‘of seeing history in the making, of going on a journey which may be big with benevolent meaning. Perhaps those un- mccredited diplomats, the naval officers, could they be interviewed, would express much the same ideas. They have ‘worked like horses for a week to bring %o focus the perfect arrangements for this trip, and they are plainly as excited as the rest of us. ‘The crew seems to share the emotion +~with possibly. a few exceptions.

The legitimate cotton and stock exchanges have their proper places but the Nation cannot afford to stand by and permit wholesale ‘gambling.” ' Gov. Graves said the Federal Reserve Board was sincere in its efforts to halt lB:culntlon, but its raising of the re- t rates to 51 per cent stopped much legitimate business. ‘ “In the rush to stop gambling, the fnnocent bystander runs the Mability of being killed,” he continued.

Theodore Christianson of Minnesota charged that decisions of the Wnited States Supreme Court had en- dangered the revenues of many States. He objected to the court’s ruling that mational banks were Federal agencies. The conference was opened with a ‘keynote speech by Gov. Huntley N.

The regular daily operating and main- tenance cost of each vessel is, about $5,000, and it was estimated at the Navy Department yesterday that the battleships would be employed 40 days each in taking Mr. Hoover and his par- ty to and from the Latin American countries. The additional $50,000 will cover fuel, water and incidentals used on a trip of this sort, which would not be necessary otherwise.

The battleship Utah left Hampton Roads, Va., today for Montevideo, Uru- guay, where she is scheduled to arrive December 10, to await the arrival of Mr. Hoover. BUENOS AIRES PAPER CITES HOOVER ‘ERROR’ Complains Because Spanish-Amer- ican Correspondents Are Not Taken on Trip. By the Assoclated Press. BUENOS AIRES, November 21.—El Diario, speaking of Herbert Hoover’s trip flder the caption of “First Mistake of Hodver,” says that the exclusion of correspondents . of Spanish-American newspapers from the entourage of the President-elect was a serious error, considering that the trip has for a pur- pose the rapprocehement between the United States and South America. The newspaper refers also to a state- ment attributed to Mr. Hoover in which he declared himself in favor of making loans to Spanish-American countries only when those loans were o be ap- plied to public works. “This doctrine,” the paper says, “im- ¥l|es a concealed tutorship and the in- erence that these countries should attend to the development of the pro- duction of those raw materials that are needed in the United States.” The paper adds: “However, we should not feel offended at these declarations because Mr. Hoover will have a splendid opportunity now to modify his judg- ment when he has seen the civilization we have in the south, a civilization which is utterly distinct from the some- what Babylonic ci tion of the North Amerfean Union.” JAPANESE CONSUL'S WIDOW ARRIVES HERE Mme.

A visit to the White House was made at noon. The convention again broke up into group meetings, with resident teaching, experiment _stations, extension, engi- neering and home economics receiving specialized attention from as many ses- sions.

NEW YORK, November 21.—Although Herbert Hoover will make two good- will visits to Central American repub- lics at one back door when he puts into the Gulf of Fonseca on Sunday, he will put the dignitaries of Salvador and Honduras to some trouble if they are to greet him when he lands. La Union, a town of 7,000 popula- tion, is the best port of Salvador and ordinary steamers are able to dock. 1t is, however, 128 miles from the cap- ital, San Salvador, oyer the Central American Railway lines.

AMSTERDAM, November 21 (#).— Representatives of American, Dutch, Belgian and German shipping interests, who sought by a conference at The Hague to reach an agreement on At- lantic freight rates, have been unable to arrive at an understanding. The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant says that the principal difficulties came from the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American Lines, due to spe- cial freight concessions on German rail- ways which they enjoy in connection with the North American trade. It is hoped that the German interests may eventually agree to compromise, in view of the manifest desire of all parties to end the present competition, which is termed “devastating.” acquired and carefully analyzed, Dr. ‘Woods asserted. Citing the summary of the report on the agriculture situation, representing the judgment qf experts of the colleges and universities and those of the De- partment of Agriculture, dealing with the point that “taxes paid by farmers are too high in relation to taxes paid by the rest of the population,” Dr. ‘Woods declared, concerning farm taxa- tion, that “investigations made by the Department, of Agriculture and by several States indicate there is some im- provement taking place, but it is far from satisfactoty.” Enclose the Back Porch Now See Us For— WINDOW ‘2 FRAMES ‘wins $9.00 Windows from $2.20 Up Triples “$13.50 1025 Vermont Avenue Announces the Inaugura- tion of Special Monthly Winter Rates Room and Bath, $75 Per Mo.

Presidents of approximately 40 State universities met at the Mayflower yes- terday to discuss some of the prob- lems now confronting these institu- | tions. The function of the fraternity was upheld by Dr, Francis W. Shepard- | son, president of the Beta Theta Pi| | Fraternity. The study will be conducted | | by Chancellor E. H. Lindley of the Uni- | | versity of Kansas, assisted by President | | David Kinley of the University of Illi-| nois, President H. W. Chase of the" Untversity of North Carolina and Presi- dent A. H. Upham of Miami University. I Although this commitiee was or- ganized to study all problems of stu- dent group life, it was decided to con- | fine the work for the present to the secret society on the campus. The fraternity, the committee pointed out, | is to be judged entirely on its merits | and is not to be found guilty unless | there is clear evidence to that effect. New Plan to Be Tried. President Clarence C. Little of the | Untversity of Michigan told of & unique plan about to be instituted there to ex- tend the scope of the university. This, | involves first establisoment of “junior Michigan,” which will consist | of a system of awards to brilliant puplls in the secondary schools of the State which will serve to bring them in touch with the university and make them consider themselves as associated with it years before they are able to enter as freshmen. This is expected to prove, Dr. Little said, a step to- ward getting the parents better ac- quainted with the work of the uni- versity., The second step is the “alumni university” which already is well under way. It involves organizing all the alumni so that they will keep in closer touch with each other and maintain an intellectual as well as athletic interest in their Alma Mater. In the past, he said, the relations of the alumni to the university and vice versa has been one of “subtle innuendo and Insult,” the alumnus coming back at commencement and being shown around almost under guard. CHICAGO BOMBERS WRECK BULDING Hostility Between Rack eters and Cleaning Con- cerns Cause Explosion. | By the Assoclated Press. | CHICAGO, November 21.—A bomb, | exploding a block and a haif from the home of State’s Attorney-elect John A. Swanson, wrecked the front of a| Bierfi(er cleaning and dyeing shop last night. Police viewed the explosion as evi- dence of open hostility between rack- eters and cleaning concerns that “cut” prices and refuse to pay tribute. Judge Swanson, elected two weeks ago on a platform promising to rid Chicago of crime, was aroused by the blast, which occurred in the heart of a South Side residential section. Sev- eral months ago Judge Swanson’s home was_bombed. The bomb, apparently thrown from a passing car, marked the second out- break in cleaning and dyeing circles within five days. The slaying of John G. Clay, boss of the Laundry and Dye- houses Chauffeurs Unlon, likewise was attributed to agents of powerful clean- ing interests which have attempted to exact tribute from all shops. The establishment which was bombed was owned by Theodore Becker, and was connected with enother group of Beckerccleaner shops in which Al (Scar- face) Capone is a partner. A in the window, advertising bargain prices for cleaning, was inter- preted by police as evidence of to yleld to demands for Knife Wound Fatal. { Speclal Dispatch to The Star. | ROCKVILLE, Md., November 21.— Police authorities here were notified this morning of the death in George- town University Hospital last night of Steve McCray, colored, 60 years old, from a knife wound in the stomach.

There will be room for many more gifts however, from the friends of the four child welfare groups, and it is expected that such gifts will continue to pour into the place to fill it to overflowing before the opening, ex- pected to be sometime within the next granting program, President George Thomas of the University of Utah told the college presidents. He pointed out that there are mnow 110 four-year normal schools in the country. The transition stage, he said, is re- sponsible for considerable confusion because the authorities don’t know how much attention to devote to the sclence of pedagogy in the four-year course and how much to general cul- tural subjects. The result in some cases has been a second-rate arts college. The State universities, he sald, should require a minimum of 120 se- mester hours for graduation before ac- cepting the degrees of these four-year nbrmal schools, but should help them rather than: condemn them without a hearing. The increase in junior colleges throughout the country was stressed by President S. D. Brooks of the Uni- versity of Missouri. In his own State, he sald, these generally have had a good effect on education. They have the effect, he said, of keeping the stu- dent in the sheltered atmosphere of WARM DRAFTS & DIRT WEATHERSTRIP YOUR HOME Windows, $3.00 _ Doors, $4.00 Installed by 1528 L Street Lee & Lutz 50, %55 n ¥ SALEOF - ARTISTS ™ FAVORITE PIANOS ) NOW IN PROGRESS/ W.W.KIMBALL C0. /4 | 808810 ELEVENTH ST.AW. - ANNAPOLIS HOTEL « Jrom_the AVENUE of NINTH® fifi'fifi_—mfl_ - T'he Vogue in" : Formal Wear - One. may. vield to personal whims Jn matters of informal attire—but when it comes to the “state occasions” fashion’s absolute dictations must be followed, of the wearer is out of tune.
