DEBATE ON SMITH IS HEARD BY 4,000
Harvard Debaters, Opposed, Are
 Voted Down

Boston, Jan. 12 Rl-An audience of more than 4.O00 persons which crowded Symphony hall to hear Boston College and Harvard de- bate Gov. Alfred F. Smiths presi- dential qualifications. rejected by a heavy majority Harvard's contention that the New York executive lacked the national and international view point and gave the decision to the team from University Heights.
 The debate marked the first re- sumption of forensic relations be- tween the two colleges in 30 years and was featured by mutual agree ment to eliminate any reference to the religious question. An interlude in more serious ar gument came when David E. Scoll of Evanston. H.. first Harvard speaker, referred to Gov. Smiths "undignified" fondness for singing, dancing and visits to Coney Island.
 Neal T. Scanlon, second speaker for Boston College. retorted: Tt may be that this human fondness for singing. dancing and even going to Coney Island is undignified but at least, nobody ever accused Gov. Smith of cantering about the halls of Albany on a mechanical horse" A gale of laughter swept the audience and when Scanlon was able to resume he continued, "nor did he ever play cowboy and Indian in the Wilds of west of Buffalo.
 The obvious reference to Presi- dent Coolidge seemed to have been forgotten until Francis x. Shea of Harvard gained the floor.

"One of the speakers for the af- firmati,e has, to say the least. been unkind in reference to our presi- dent but that has no bearing in this discussion. We do not hold nor do we believe that MT. Coolidge is qualified to be president any more than Mir. Harding was qualified"
 But he thought several men Of national prominence were. United States Senators Borah, Walsh of Montana, Walsh of Massachusetts and Reed of Missouri. were among those he enumerated.
 Throughout the debate Harvard conceded Gov. Smiths executive abilities in the government of New York state but insisted he was too provincial to be president of the United States.
 If presidents were to be elected for their popularity alone. why not Babe" Ruth or even "BossN" Gillis, Mayor of Newburyport asked Mir. Scoll.
 Boston College. on the other hand, asserted that MT. Smith had "by his statesmanlike vision won even the plaudits of his political adversaries.' ''
 His strength lies not in his works alone but in his ability to put their concept into deeds," was how Jo- seph B. Doyle summed up the gov crnor's attributes in opening Bos- ton Colleges case for the affirma- tive

 We asked the drivers of Yellow taxicabs in New York, Philadelphia Chicago and Newark, how they avoid the effects of exposure to wet and cold.
 Three out of five said they use Sloan's. When they are damp and chilled from hours of driving in snow or rain, they apply Sloan's over their backs, arms shoulders and legs and they never have bit of trouble with stiffness or pain in the muscles.

TROUBLE LOOMS
ON RIGHT. OF WAY
OF new HIGHWAY

James F. Mcdonald, state highway
commissioner for this district; Right
of-Way Agent Wilgnon of the state
highway department. and County
Supervisor John b. Hart made a trip
yesterday over the right of way of the
new highway 80 between Douglas and
Rcdeo as it has been approved by the
bureau of public roads.
The report the signing of deeds to
the right of way without difficulties
with the land owners in every instance
except that involving the property of
Pete Johnson in the Silver creek dis
trict. There, the blue prints show two
routes running l,croSs the old home
stead at the Johnson ranch, one run
ming not more than 40 feet on one
side of the Johnson home and the
other about 100 feet on the other side,
but cutting directly through the barn,
garage and blacksmith shop of the
ranch.
Johnson has told the highway rep
resentatives that he will object to the
use of either of these route as he has
lived on the ranch and in that home
for more than 40 years and does not
want the public to encroach on his
habitation He points out that he is
not opposing the reasonable demands
OF the highway builders and is ready,
with other members of his family, to
sign deeds to land owned in the fam
lily on other portions of the highway,
which will be badly cut up, even to
cutting off his water supply in one
place.
johnson says, according to the high
way officials, that he regrets the Sit
uation as much as anyone, that he
doe snot want compensation for the
use of the land but that he does want
his home left far enough away from
from the highway SO that he will have
some privacy and protection from
travelling vagabonds.
State Engineer Allison, who is in
charge of the surveying going forward
on the highway, told the commissioner
Yesterday the party reported upon re-
turning to Douglas, that the route
through the Johnson homestead is the !,
best alignment of the highway that
can be secured and that any change
that might have to be made would be
detrimental to the best interests OF
good highway construction and might
involve entanglementS with the bureau
Of public roads over their approval
which must be secured so that fed
eral aid may be had for the construc-
ton.
