on Observatory HILL on the campus
at Ohio Wesleyan University here,
a huge concrete bulk. with q long
finger pointing skyward. 1t will

At that time an old man may
look from the doorway of an out

instrument and recognize in 1t
monument to his perseverance and
the dominating ideal of a life that
will have passed the four-score-
and-ten mark.
If he. Is there to see it. he will

If he Is not there to see 1t. he

BLACKSTONE

There are persons, and some Of
them live right here in South Bend,
who do not regard mstrimony as a
subject about which to joke. They
take the game seriously-sore of a
fight to the finish as 'twer. But
Paramount has disregarded this
class of people and gone right ahead
and joked it in the most hilarious
comedy of the screen season-"Is
Matrimony a Failure?'
The picture develops complica-
tions and comedy possibilities when
a young lawyer makes the sensa-
tional discovery that through some
flaw in the legal machinery half the
people of the town Of Galesburg are
not legally married.
You can we'll imagine what hap
pens. Men who have been under
their wives thumbs for years saunter
forth in search of excitement and ad-
venture. The town is thrown into an
uproar. Main street becomes the

That national censorship is impos-

Hollywood has been overly ex-

Will Not Vote for Treaty, He
Warns, Unless Powers Are
Delegated to Congress.
By J. BART CAMPBELL.
international News Service.


The expected attack on the four
power Pacific treaty was opened in
the Senate today by Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, ranking Demo-
cratic, zstembef-of the Senate For-
eign Relations committee.
Hitchcock served notice that he
would not vote to ratify the treaty
unless a reservation were attached
to it which would expressly stipu-
late that Congress must consent to
any future agreement or under
standing reached under it,.
Hitchcock Dissatisfied.
II was such a reservation that Sen
ator Brandegee Republican, Of Con-
necticut first proposed when the
treaty was still being considered by
the Foreign Relations Committee, but
which was rejected after President
Harding objected to a Congressional
limitation being placed on the Execu-
tive's constitutional prerogative to
enter into negotiations with a for
eign nation.
Hitchcock made 1t plain that he
was not satisfied with the com.
promise reservation agreed upon by
President Harding and Brandegee,
which was finally adopted by a ma
jority OF the committee in Hitch
cocks absence.
Hits General Secrecy.
I'VE have every reason to be
suspicious OF the long, clandestine
negotiations which we know took
place I'm order to replace the Anglo
Japanese alliance with what seems
to me to be simply another and a
larger and more dangerous alliance"
Hitchcock said.
Even the President himself, al
though he called the armament con-
ference, and was supposed TO be in
formed fully as to what was taking
place behind its closed doors, did not
know. or was not advised as to what
the Pacific treaty really meant.
Senator Borah (RepD of Idaho de-
clared that the objection which
some Of us here have to the treaty
cannot be reached by a reservation" "
The United States is bound by
the treaty to enter into a political
relationship which is really effective
only in case of war or aggressive
attack" Borah added.
Senator France Sees War.
Senator France (RepJ Of Maryland
in supporting Borahs position, said
he had always found It very diff
cult to edit bad egg"
This treaty is going to lead US
toward a terrible war" France con
tinued.
There is not the slightest doubt
that Japan and Russia are now
moving toward a conflict with one
another into which this treaty would
draw u.s."
my fundamental objection to the
treaty Is that 1t does not call upon
us to act until some aggression has
taken place." Borah interjected.
