THE HARD TINES PARTY.

1t seemed as though the majority
of Yale's dance lovers preferred
hard times and old clothes. such
a goodly number as were in at
tendance Monday evening.
And it surely didn't seem to be
any trouble to find the old clothes,
such an array and variety and
color suggested an "op cloes''
shop or a rummage sale. But rid
iculously dressed or quietly garb-
ed, everybody had such a merry,
good time that they would fain
have it repeated, so a masquerade
party was promised scon and the
old togs will have another outing.
The orchestra m lsic was rem
dered by Olin Cameron, piano
Dick Staley, violin, and Archie
1udington, drums, was excellent
and there is no need of going out
of town for dance music, when we
have such a good orchestra right
here at home.s
The Monday evening dances
have proved their popularity in
Yale.

were we'll satisfied. A resolution
was drafted favoring the National

Delegates listened to an item
lied statement of the financial

which would give the grower more
money for his wool and offer to
the public a virgin wool blanket at

Raymond Fosdick of New York,

Capital punishment is still nee
essary in America.
1T has greater deterring effect
on crime than any other thing.
"Any movement to abolish cap
ital punishment would encourage
and increase crime"
Professor Edith Abbott, of Chi
cago University, famous for her in
vestigations of crime is against
capital punishment.
Hanging doesn't make men
better, and makes society. worse.
"The spectacle of execution de-
presses public morals.
"The sureness and swiftness of
punishment means more than
death as a deterrent of crime.
"Juries dislike to send murder
ers to death. The slayers then
think they get off easy"

COUNTY MEETINGS
. LARGELY ATTENDED

According to reports reaching Abb
beville today. the meetings held at
five points in the county to discuss
farming under boil weevil condi-
tions have been largely attended.
Messrs. Winter and Watkins have
presented their subject in a pleasing
manner and have aroused much in
terest. 1t is thought that the farmers
will benefit greatly by their talks,
especially that part which dealt with
increased production and how to get
it.
The speakers were delighted with
the reception they received in the
county. They believe that other
speakers should follow them with a
presentation of other phases of ag-
riculture. which would be especially
timely at this time.

DRESE[ REMAINS
At GERMAN POST
WILL BE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES
IN BERLIN-BELIEVED THAT
GERMANY'S REPRESENTATION
AT WASHINGTON WILL ALSO
BE CHARGE FOR TIME.

Washington, Nov. DENOMINATION
of Ellis Lofing Dresel of Boston, now
United States commissioner to Ger
many, to be charge d'affaires to that
country was said in official circles to-
day to mean that probably no am
.bassador would be sent by the United
States to Berlin for time at least.
Although officials said the decision
to entrust American-re -representation
in the German capital to a charge
d'affaires was reached Independently
of any proposals from the German
government, it is considered quite
probable here that Germany will be
likewise represented in Washington
for some time.
Mr.. Dresel's presence in Berlin will
enable prompt resumption of diplo-
matte relations as soon as the senate
acts on his nomination. This is ex-
pected to be only matter Of several
days.
Mr.. Dresel is regarded highly by
administration officials, who point out
as one Of his achievements the nego-
.iation of the treaty of peace be-
tween the United States and Germany
He is lawyer and lived in Germany
number of years. He was visiting
in Berlin when the world war broke
out, and, because Of his wide expert
ence, was of great assistance to
Americans who became stranded in
Germany during that period. After
the war he was appointed an expert
adviser to the American delegation
at the peace conference and later was
at the peace conference and later
was elected American commissioner
to Germany under the department of
commerce, in which capacity he has
since served. ...

CUT ANNOUNCED
-. IN FREIGHT RATE
CHARGE ON FARM PRODUCTS
REDUCED-BELIEVED THAT
Z CHANGE WILL BE MADE
WITHIN NEXT TEN DAYS-10
PER CENT LOWER

New York, Nov. 16.-The Associa-
tion of Railway Executives, repre-
senting 201 railroads today decided
to put into effect 10 per cent
freight rate reduction on all farm
products, "as soon as possible" The
reduction, it was announced, would
not apply to intrastate rates in New
England, but would affect freight
entering and leaving those states.
Announcing the decision, Thomas
Dewitt Cuyler, president of the as
sociation, stated that any reduction
in such rates made since September
1, 1920, wre to be included in the 10
per cent. reduction and that it would
be put into effect without waiting
for reduction in wages. The freight
rate cut will apply throughout the
entire South except on traffic NOV
ing wholly within New England. It
was expected that the new rate
ould be effective within ten days as
the railroads, it was said, have ask
ed the interstate commerce COM
mission, through their general coun-
sci, to authorize the change on ten
days notice. The reduction will cost
the railroads about $55,O0O,0O0, it
was estimated.
"The railroads have already re-
duced freight rates substantially
from the level established by the
commission in August, 1920" Mr..
Gnyler's statement said. "The re-
ductions already made are estimat-
ed as accurately as can be to involve
a loss Of revenue at the rate of from
s175,OOO,OOO to ; s2oO,OO0,OoO an
nually. These reductions on many
roads. represent loss greater than
any corresponding saving realized
from reductions in wages already
effected. The railroads are further
more, awaiting decisions of the la
Dor board, which, it is hoped, will
relieve the companies Of the ex-
pense of many onerous and uneco-
nomical working conditions. The
railroads are not in a financial con-
dition to make this sacrifice.
