Roller Skating Is
Leading Pastime at
Jamestown College

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 12.-(AP)
Roller skating has taken rank -
the leading winter sport at James,
town college.
In a sectarisn school where smok-
ing and dancing are tabooed, it also
ranks as one Of the most important
diversions offered the students this
winter. Heavy SHOWS and extremely
cold weather have interefered with
ice skating and the rollers have been
called il as q substitute.
Men and women students Join in
the sport on the floor Of the big
gymnasium, recently completed by
the college, and faculty members too
have been bitten by the rolling skate
bug.
In a recent article the college
newspaper described In some detail
the antics Of B. F. Kroxe, president
Of the institution, Is he practiced
the art Of maintaining his equilib.
rum in the privacy Of his cellar.

WASHINGTON ~
LETTER M
saying the wrong thing at the wrong

saying the wrong thing at the wrong
time.
The suggestion Of Davis Of the
Labor Department is not so impos-
sible, but no one is expected to
make it. Davis seems to have more
sense than some Of his colleagues,
but he is not exactly White House
material and he was born in Wales,
anyway.
Davis of the War Department
might, next to Hoover, make as
good a president as could be found
in the cabinet. But he hasn't pop
ularized himself and has no dra-
matte appeal to business, politicians
or voters, being merely q good cab
met officer and an excellent adj
nninistrator.
Harry New, of course, is an ex-
cellent politician-they always put
excellent politicians in the Post
office Department. But he is not
- popular figure despite his good
|TeeoM gin the p0stoffic6 and, pain.
fHl to relate, is what is technically
known as lame duck.
Work of the Interior Department
SO lacks appeal and is so manifestly
unpopular in some sections, that
many Of Hoover's friends fear it
would be q bad mistake to make
Work the titulart manager Of the
Hoover campaign. So Work won't
be proposed for the presidency, any
way.
That leaves Jardine Of the Depart
nlent of Agriculture. Jardine is re-
ported about to resign, but If he
were to have any political strength
it would have to come from the
farmers and it appears that among
the farmers is just where Jardine
has very little political strength.
Thus, most of the secretaries ap-
parently being quite aware Of their
political status, are working Tor
Hoover. If it so happens that
Hoover becomes the next president,
those who have worked for him will
be much surer of federal jobs than
those who did not.
: Among former Harding Coolidge
cabinet members now living, there
is Hughes, who refuses to run.
There are also Daugherty, Fall and
DENLY. Thus far, those three have
been sadly overlooked in discus
sions of possibilities.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan. 12.-In one Of
Broadway's most popular plays, q
veteran actor II shown describing
in enthusiastic terms the manu-
script Of = new play he has just
read. Another character asks, "Who
wrote it?" Whereupon the old &C.
tor replies: "Oh, you wouldn't know.
He's = college professor out in
Idaho. Who would believe q COL
lege professor knew 80 much? (.
just imagine! There he sits alone
out in the desert, writing away!!'
And at this line the audience in.
variably gets 2 large laugh.
The points involved are very
simple. The New Yorkly folk like
to think that nothing is accomplish
cd outside the limits of their slen-
der island. There ale Broadwayese
playgoers and Proajwayese actors
who, doubtless, really believe Idaho
to be desert. with college profess
sors modelled after the musical COM
edy pattern. And just about every
one in and out Of Manhattan knows
the tendency Of the New Yorker to
pity. the poor dwellers in the sticks.
+ Let 1t he mentioned that someone
out in Idaho, Kansas, Iowa and way
points can sing, dance, write play
or compose q song and you II gem
orally get laugh from New York
audience.
Everybody knows by this time that
1t Is the folk from Idaho, Iowa and
Kansas who do sing, dance, write
plays and comtqae songs. But, when
they do It, they Immediately become
identified as New Workers and their
nativity is carefully covered up.
That the talent, whatever it may
be, generally gets its hearing In
New York, is sufficient unto itself
to the New Yorker.
The proof of which Is: the verv

Question: A Seeker OF Health

rapid heart, and I have been told
that her tonsils were decayed and
were sending poisons through her

spoken OF another method OF getting
rid Of them. Would you kindly e..
plain this through the columns Of
the Tribune as soon az possible. I
have. received a great deal Of good
from your department, and I think
It IL very wonderful to have q de-
partment like this to read every
day!

diseased tonsils, but the tonsils can
be cured without removing them. A

Question: Mrs. r. 8. c. writes:
"Please advise in your column II q
tablespoonful or two OF olive oil can
be used on lettuce and tomatoes,
etc., when meats or nuts or cheese

not intefere with the digestion OF
other foods.
Question: Martin b. writes: RI

on the floor, was taken by surprise
and temporarily swept off its feet a
delegate after delegate rose to ex
press the resentment of the workers
and farmers at the continued treach
cry of Shipstead.
Vincent R. Dunno, of Hennepir
county, speaking for the minority re
port said, "Shipstead had consistent
ly and persistently ignored the party
and has refused to speak on its plat
form, support its candidates, or ever
mention its name.
When heckled by the machine sup
porters asking where he stood Dunno
answered, 81 stand on grounds of
loyalty to the Farmer-Labor Party.
grounds on which Shipstead, in all
his career, has never stood"
The machine attempted to check
the attack at this point by tabling
the minority report, but indignant
delegates continued the attack by
speaking for the rejection of the ma
jority report.
William F. Watkins, the minority
candidate for the senate, took the
floor for the strongest speech of the
convention, after the tabling of his
nomination.
Watkins then told how Shipstead
had failed to support the labor move
ment at any time, refusing to speak
at strike meetings, at Farmer-Labor
Party conventions and at A. F. of
L. conventions. When Watkins told
how Shipstead had refused to ad-
dress the Minnesota Federation of
Labor convention last July because
he was "too busy" and it was later
found out that Shipstead was only
fifty miles away on fishing trip
Cramer interrupted with, "Don't you
know Shipstead was sick them"
Watkins shot back "Sick nothing!
He's always sick when asked to do
something for the workers." Pro-
longed laughter and applause fol-
lowed by the chairman's gavel for
time-up ended Watkins speech.
Except for the Shipstead issue the
left wing did not show great fight
capacity. The right increased its
strangle-hold on the Farmer Labor
Party machinery through the re-
election of Starkey, secretary, and
WEIGH, chairman, although the lefts
and progressives gained much ground
on the state committee and left wing
sentiment and instructive class-con-
seriousness are much stronger as a
