CURIOSITY VS.. NECESSITY

THE Y. n. C. A. CAMPAIGN

Ifyou are asked for your contribu.
ton to the fund Of 5000 for which
the Y.M.C.A. opens a campaign to-
day, you are not being asked to help
defray the expenses of some student
in school. Instead you are being
asked to pledge YOUR support to a
part of the Y.M.C.A. work Of which
little is said but which plays a most
important part In University life.
The University organization is in
need of 500 to meet deficit on the
operation of the public meeting rooms.
The rest of the $1,000 is to go toward
needed improvements and repairs Of
these rooms.
The parlors of the Y.M.C.A. are as
nearly a community center as any
thing Columbia has. During the cur
rent year there have been more than
three hundred meetings of sixty-five
organizations in these rooms. The
money Is to be raised among the rae
ulty and students of the University
because these are the persons who are
most benefited by the existence Of the
parlors.
Next fall a campaign for $4,000 will
be waged throughout the state. Those
who contribute to the $4,000 fund will
not be asked to make further gifts.
1t is so essential that the deficit
be met and improvements and repairs
be made that unless the local organ
ization secures the money at least
that part of the building open to the
public will have to be closed.
1t is selfish proposition. The YIN.
CA. needs the money. The University
needs the Y.M.C.A.; and it needs the
more than $1,000 worth.

HOOVER TELLS FEDERATION LABOR. MUST HELP ELIMINATE INDUSTRIAL FAULT THAT CAUSE uNEMPL LOYNENT

Council members said they had been deeply interested in Hoover's discussion of existing conditions be- cause of its bearing on the federa- tion's search for methods which will avoid intermittent operation of indus try and consequent unemployment. It is understood Hoover was told that labor leaders regarded the action of some employers in closing plants or running on part time as little short oi social crime"
 With this view however, the for mer food administrator was said not to have agreed, explaining to the council that he believed other condi- tions affected plant operation more than the labor leaders realized. He pointed to credit conditions, the slack demand and certain other related causes, it was understood.
 As to the future outlook Hoover made no forecasts. He did say, how ever, that he believed the existing 1 economic deression was one of tenn porary nature and that it constituted part of the period of transition from war to peace conditions.
 ! Among labor leaders there was a suggestion that the changing condi tions of which Hoover spoke woulC necessitate changed policies on the part of organized workers and parti cularly of the federation. They indi cated that they were attempting tC arrive at new conclusions and re-shapC their policies through the study o economic and industrial conditions
 confronting them as well as the em
 ployers.

CHICAGO MURDER
 MYSTERY SOLVED

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The police to. night believed they had found solu- tion to the deaths of Marie Ramey and Lillian Thompson, actresses, whose bodies were found Sunday in Grant park. William Harris, chauf- feur, surrendered to the police and told them he drove the women and two men on a joy ride" Saturday night and that when the women be- came boisterous they were taken to Grant park and thrown out of the machine.
 The police said they believed the deaths were due to excessive drinking Of homemade whisky and exposure. It was said by the police that Harris story indicated the women were not in condition to help themselves when left in the park and that the cold weather was instrumental in their deaths.
 Bruises found on the bodies were said by Harris, according to the po- lice, to have been inflicted when the women resisted an attack by their companions.
 The two men with the actresses on the joy ride" in Harris automobile were arrested late today. According to the police they said they picked up the actresses early in the eve ming and took them on q round of the cabarets. Later the police quote the men as saying they left the women with Harris in his machine. They de nied any brutality. Their names were not divulged.
 Chemists who examined the bodies made a report to Chief of Detectives Hughes which resulted in an an nouncement from him that he believed alcohol and exposure were the only causes of the deaths"
