| ARGE CROWD
HEARS SAGE
ON MORALS

Washington society turned out
en- masse last night to hear Count
Hermann Keys.er ling, distin.
guished German philosopher.
An audience that filled every
seat in the Mayflower ballroom
and lined the walls listened intent
while the sage set forth his views
on life, women, marriage and
morals. The topic of the lecture
was "Will Freer Morals Make
Life Richer?" and consumed fully
an hour sand a half. The count,
however, was so full of his sub
ject and spoke so earnestly that
he lost not a single listener.
Those who came hoping to be
shocked were disappointed. For
all Keyserling''s bizarre personal
characteristics and his Wanted
preference for champagne and
pretty girls his talk was free of
anything bordering on the too
frank.
The philosopher stressed t h e
fact that morals should not be
taken too seriously, that, for the
cultured being. they are only
more or less incident to full
life and he arrived at the conclu-
sion that freer morals would not
make life richer for the general
run OF folks.
His talk had a distinctly ten.
tonic flavor both in ideas and in
expression. with the words "su-
perior beings" and culture" oft
repeated.
The lecture was for the benefit
OF the Mount Holyoke Alumni
fund.

 "The law now" says Raymond F Crisp, commissioner of naturaliza tion, merely points out that th, principles of the Constitution. ant must be able to pass certain mora and physical examinations. Outside Of that the judges can make their own requirements. Some are lenien and others are strict"
 During the fiscal year 1927 the bureau reported 25S,295 declara' tons of intention to become citizens 240,339 petitions for naturalization were filed and 199, S04 certificates O naturalization were issued.
