Defeats Old Virginia
Buff and Blue Triumphs in Annual Debate.
Sustans Argument That there Should
Be Federal Control of All Corporations

there might be some evils. but con-
tended that evils in few corpora
tions did not demand a Federal law for
all corporations. He sought TO show
the impractieability of Federal control
over the formation OF corporations doing
an interstate business.
Marcus H. Burnstine took up the ar
gument of the affirmative. The practi-
cability of Government control. he said.
had been demonstrated in the United
states and other countries.
A. II Foreman was the next 10 speak.
He declared that Federal control was
unwise, largely because of the vast num-
ber Of corporations In this country
The enormous expenses necessary TO
maintain an executive force TO make
Federal control successful is a great ar
gument against the plan advocated by
the George Washington speakers. he
declared.
Gates Good Argument.
Edward p. Gates closed the main ar
gument for the affirmative Federal
control, he declared. was desirable be-
cause it was becoming popular with
the people and was In the trend OF
progress He attributed President
Roosevelt's election largely to the con-
iidence OF the people in his advocacy
Of Federal control The National Gov
ernment was the only power which could
deal properly with the great corpora
tlOns.
The argument OF the negative was
closed bv Lee Bidgood. He said that
corporations doing interstate business
were largely railroads and trusts. His
argument in this connection was that
railroads are controlled by Federal law.
and state laws can best deal with trusts.

argument for the affirmative He said
the contention of his side would be con-

Second. of all conceivable remedies;
State control is not satisfactory, and.
third. that Federal control would be
both practicable and effective. He de-
clared that the affirmative advocated no

REFORM YOUR SHAPE

This Applies to Men and
Women, Too, Says
Mrs. Wade.

If the theory advanced by Mrs Linda
Ross Wade. the New York style ex-
pert who is the star attraction at the
Convention Hall food show. could find
universal application. there would likely
be no more bruised hearts and shatter-
ed marriage ideals. Dan Cupid would
rejoice in work well done. the divorce
mill would cease 20 grind. the slippers
before the freside would be nightly fill
ed with a pair OF masculine feet. and
love would be restored to its own.
To accomplish this far-reaching re-
suit women. I'm the opinion OF Mrs.
Wade. have only to devote the time
which they usually given 10 the petty
troubles of life TO the study OF their
curves and lines. They will then. she
saws. with few exceptions. succeed in
holding the husbands love.
Women said Mrs, Wade to more than
900 hearers OF her lecture last night,
should make as much of business Of
STUDYING their husbands affections as
the husband does Of the work which
earns him the daily bread. She should
not be satisfied with putting the extra
touches on her toilet only on Sundays.
but should make the study of how to
please occupy the greater part Of heI
daily life.
