Hits and Bits of 1923" a musical
 revue produced under the auspices of i the Alpha Delta Alumni association ali

 ol the best amateur musical comedies seen here this season. The musical numbers were snappy, the dances were well executed and the show con tained clean comedy.

Miss Green and eight mani kins was delightful number as was that of Miss Farr and golf girls sing ing When June Comes Along With a Song.'
 Signe Peterson and Peggy Lewis, in a sister speciality" brought forth rounds of applause. Robert Loomis and Miss Johnson with the Colonial girls rendering T Cannot Sleep With out Dreaming of You' was perhaps the best singing number of the eve hing. This group was called upon for three encores.
 The LA starred in "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and their quartet number. and Messrs. Lucas and La tham provided the real comedy of the show in their speciality number just before closing.
 The closing number was unique. The curtain rose and in the rear of the stage was the dial of huge ra- dio set. Mir. Latham placed the re- ceivers at his ears and each time he got a different station a speciality was done on the stage. Miss Huldah Johnson appeared as the western girl, Miss Dorothy Latham as the Spanish girl and the Misses Lewis and Peterson as the harmony girls. The show closed with Bits from Elm erald Isle" by the entire company with Miss Farr. MT. Lewis and Nancy Clancy featured. The performance will be repeated Friday night.

By The Assstiated Press.
 Takio, Jan. 1.-The Tokio eoFern- ment has decided to release its specie holdings abroad to finance the impor- tation of articles considered absolute ly necessary. The action follows re- cent steady declines of the yen in foreign exchange, which prompted number Of tho largest Japanese im- pcrters to approach the government with a demand that it employ it's re- sef7e 10 stabilize exchange. The low point reached by the sepcie reserve sir oad is said to have caused the gov- srnment to look with disfavor upon the request ct the time. and it was considered likely that the govner- ment's hand in the matter of a for sfgn loan would be forced.
 Refusal of the government hereto fore to employe it's specie holdings abroad to retard the downward ten- dency of the yen has bang consid- cred one of the factors in the decline of the exchange rate, in the opinion Of Japanese flnanciers.

Luxor. Jan, 1.-The growing cer- tainty, adduced by the closer investi- gation of Tutankhamen's tomb, of the close connection between Tutan- khamen and King Ay-hiss uccessor and perhaps his co-regent--is turning visitors footsteps to Avs tomb.
 This is situated in one of the lone- Hest spots In the valley of the kings and has seldom heretofore been wis., tied by tourists. It is called by the natives the tomb of the apes" by reason of it's mural painting of mon- keys, closely resembling those found on the back wall of Tutankhamen's tomb.
 Ay started tomb for himself at Tel-al-amarna, but when tho court was moved back to Thebes on the re- storation of the worship of Amun by Tutankhamen, he abandoned 1t. He afterward caused his tomb to be made in the traditional burying place Of the Pharaohs, selecting the lonely west ern valley, it is though. through fear Of the grave robbers who were es- pecially active in the eighteenth dynasty.

ASQUITH TURNS ON
 BALDWIN CABINET
Advises His Party to Vote With
 Labor for "NO Confidence"
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 London, Jan. 17..-Former Premier Asquith, leader of the reunited liberal
 party, announced in the house of commons today that he would vote in favor of the labor amendment ex- pressing mo confidence" in the Bald win government, and would advise all his friends to do the same. 1 The labor amendment was intro duced today by John k. Clynes. deputy leader of the parliamentary labor party. at the resumption of the debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne. The amend ment reads:
 But it is our duty respectfully to submit to your majesty that your majesty's present advisers have not the confidence of the house." The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York entered the press gallery as Mir. Clynes was speaking. The labor ties cheered the reading of the amendment.
 MT. Clynes in moving the amend ment declared the phases put into the kings speech were a mixture of make believe and contrition. He proceeded to criticize in detail what the govern ment had done.
 Mir. Asquith and former Premier Lloyd George were seated next to Ramsay Macdonald, parliamentary la bor leader and prospective prime min- ister on the front opposition bench.
 Another labor amendement to the address in reply to the speech from the throne besides that of the want of confidence amendment emanates from the 14 Scottish labor members of the house of commons who de- mand home rule for Scotland.
 Is Manifesto
 This amendment is regarded in the nature of manifesto, since all the Scottish labor leaders favor home rule, but the labor party as a. whole has not yet adopted the policy.
 There was no sign Of party feel ing at the outset of the momentous debate. The house had the air of being stone-cold, waiting for the vote on the amendment which is planned l for Monday night and which is ex- pected to spell the end of the Bald- | win government. Large portions of Mir. Clynes' indictment passed without | a single labor cheer.
 MT. Asquith's declaration, however, l created enthusiasm among the opposi tion. After announcing his position l the former premier said:
 Tt is a clear. distinct and unen- 1 cumbered vote of no confidence. The government invited the judgment and | have got it. Whatever theories there l may be on other questions. it is clear that the opposition parties were not sent back Gin the recent elections) to maintain the present government in | office"

STUDY MELLON PLAN l
 WITHOUT ANY BIAS
This Is Plea of Treasury Official
 to Chamber Of Commerce

Philadelphia, Jan. 17.-An appeal to the taxpayers of the country to study the Mellon tax reduction pro- gram from a constructive standpoint, eliminating crowd psychology" and partisanship, was made today by Un- der Secretary Winston of the treas ury, in an address before the eastern division of the chamber of commerce of the United States.
 Fayors No One Class
 Denouncing attacks levelled at de- tails of the Mellon bill and the pure ly political assaults upon it's provi- sions," Mir. Winston said the proposal was worked out from the premise that it should favor no one class above another but should do as much good as possible for all personal in- come taxpayers. Referring to the soldiers bonus, he asserted that the treasury was concerned only with ef- fects of such legislation on the fiscal affairs of the government and predict ed that no comprehensive tax reduc- tion could be accomplished if a bonus bill should be enacted.
 pOIlus Iup Soslls
 He reviewed at length the treas ury's figures on the subject, saying they gave ample evidence of a con- tinuation of high taxes for many years if the drain of bonus should be laid on the nations treasury.
 MT. Winston declared the demand for relief from the tax burden had become so strong and so insistent that ''even bonus advocates cannot ignore it." As a result, he said, some effort has been made 10 show that both tax and the bonus can be had. This he emphatically denied was pos sible.
 Defending the Mellon surtax reduc- lions MT. Winston said the treasury's warranted the attempt to place the level of surtayes where they would produce the greatest revenue md at the same time not discourage business initiative.
 Prepared Without Favor
 No idea has ever been presented it's being subject to attack in ts details" he said, There arc de- ails in the plan which l might wish ! o change; there are some which you 1 nay wish to have different. but l can 1 ,ay to you frankly that the treasury | pill has been prepared without favor md without prejudice. It represents he experience Of the United States | reasury. There Is no partisanship in | ts makeup. You cannot succeed | with a multiplicity of conflicting rem dies for an intricate situation"
