1.-THE charming woman does not use slang. Unless

Conversation is fine art. 1t should contribute

But how can it do that when women of native
wit and beauty permit themselves to say, You tell

Madden Successor.

81 JHttCd PTCSS
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE selection
of Oscar De Priest, a Negro, to
succeed the late Representative
Martin B. Madden as the Repub-
lican nominee for Congress from
the First Illinois district, today
aroused considerable conflict in the
ranks of Chicago Negro voters.
Two prominent Negro leaders
challenged the legality OF De
Priests appointment, voted unan-
imously yesterday in a conference
of five ward committeeman.
De Priest, a former alderman,
has served as a political worker
under Mayor william Hale Thomp-
son ever since the mayors first
term in Office here. His selection
was understood to have been
brought about by the personal en-
dorsement of Mayor Thompson.
William L. Dawson, a supporter
Of the Republican faction headed
by United States Senator Charles
S. Deneen, protested the commit
teemen's action was invalid because
they had not received their certiti-
Gates of election.
Assistant Attorney General Will
liam Harrison, regarded as a pos
sible choice for the nomination,
also protested the selection Of
De Priest.

LONDON, May I'm a frank ex-
position of British foreign policy,
Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign
secretary, today outlined England's
position in Egypt.
Announcing in the House Of
Commons that a second British note
had been sent to Cairo government
which expressed satisfaction that
the public assemblies bill had been
withdrawn, but warned that REIN
PRODUCTION Of the measure would
evoke intervention again by Eng
land, Chamberlain said:
1. Withdrawal of British troops
from Egypt would lead to confusion
and mot long delayed war"
2. The best interests of Great
Britain make it impossible for any
other country to occupy Egypt.
3. The order dispatching five
warships to Egypt-1ssued when the
public assemblies bill controversy
was at it's height-has been counter
manded.
4. England wishes to avoid future
controversy with the Cairo govern
ment on the measure.

ROBINSON Played
GiIIiom and Carter Attack
Senator Over Radio.

Senator Arthur r. Robinson was
made the butt of radio attacks by
his two opponents for the Repub-
lican nomination for Senator, Tues
day night.
From Station VISIT at South
Bend, Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney
general, said, II have said I am
against Klanism in politics and do
not want its support. Robinson
has that support, knows it, and is
silent about Klanism in our politics.
When will he name Wizard Evans,
Dragon Huntingdon Convict Steph-
enSon and repudiate their support?"
From Station WFBM here, Scion
j. Carter said 1.-THE only issue be-
fore the Republicans in this primary
is whether or not they will clean
hOuse-repudiate the Coffin ma
chine and its protege, Senator Rob-
inson. Indianapolis and our State
has lost prestige, factories have
been lost, we have been disgraced."

Theoretically" he said. science

Indy TO TEST
TOP-OF-WORLD
EUROPE Route
Eager to Explore Northern
Path Via Greenland
and Iceland.
STUDIES CHARTS, DATA
Formal Notice of Flight
Expected From Ford
Offices.

United Press stan COrrespondent

u
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh's considera-
ton of the far northern route for
his contemplated fight to Europe
is based upon his desire to explore
the possibilities of that route from
a scientific viewpoint, the United
Press was informed today by friends
of the airman here.
Lindbergh himself declared he
was opposed to cross-water flights
over long distances unless such
flights added something to the
science of aviation. From other
sources it was learned that the
Lindbergh-Ford flight was being
planned to test the availability Of
the top of the world" course-via
Greenland and Iceland--aS reg
ular route for planes and dirigibles
plying between America and Europe.
a~s Study Charts
Meanwhile Lindbergh, and Maj.
Thomas G. Lanphier, who will
probably accompany him on his
European trip, and Capt, Emory
Land of the Bureau Of Naval
AeronauticS, a cousin of Lindbergh,
went over plans for the flight at
Lands home here.
The three studied geographical
and meteorological charts covering
the entire north Atlantic area as
well as other information concern
ing flying conditions in Labrador,
Greenland and Iceland, which has
been gathered for Lindbergh and
the Ford company by the Danish
government and other agencies.
They were understood to have
worked out many of the details Of
the projected flight during these
conferences.
Indy Much Interested"
Fuel and other supplies probably
will not be sent into the frozen
north until the minutest details as
to the final route and itinerary have
been worked out When this has
been done, it was said, a formal an
nouncement of the fight may be
expected. According to information
available here, the formal announce
ment will be made at the Ford Of
fees in Detroit.
Lindbergh, ever cool and me-
chanical in his calculations, so far
has refused to commit himself pub
icly to the Greenland route. al
though he did admit to the United
Press that II am very much in
terested in the feasibility of flying
by way of Greenland to Europe, but
so far as the flight is concerned, 1
do, not know yet whether it is FEAST
BILE or not"
AviatOrS Differ On Route
1t long has been commended in
aeronautical circles that the safest
and shortest air route to Europe is
by way of Labrador and Greenland.
Aviators supporting this view be-
lieve that adequate and permanent
supply bases can be established
along this route. Other authorities
have taken the position that the
most practicable route would be
south of the line flown by Lind
bergh, Byrd and Chamberlain last
year, and touching the Azores on
the way.
Lindbergh is believed to be sup
porting the former view and with
this in mind practically has decided
upon flying the north Atlantic route.
Experts connected with the Ford
Company are said to be of the same
mind and therefore are backing
Lindbergh in his new venture.

which she could get by learning
to use a stick or by pulling a rope
in certain way.
In these tests she proved slower
mentally than the alert and live
ly chimpanzee, and often she
might reasonably have flown into
a rage when she failed again and
again to master the situation and
reach the prize. But the little
gorilla would stick at the task,
showing patience and judgment
far superior to other types of ape
that DR.. Yerkes has studied.

Although the gorilla is a close
relative of man, DR.. Yerkes'
studies Of Congo are unique and
constitute the classic observations
of this animal. Congo was slight
ly over seven years old when she
died and she was captured in the
Belgian Congo by Benjamin Bur-
bridge who sold her two years ago
to Ringing.
DR.. Yerkes last studied Congo
during the first week in March
when she appeared in good health
and spirits. Colitis was the cause
of death, not a broken heart as
some OF her obituaries intinated.

During the past winter DR.. Yerkes
investigated Congo'S memory pro-
cesses. Although he has not yet
published his scientific report on
this work, his earlier observations
of Congo's behavior was made the
subject of two of DR.. Yerkes'
monographs.
DR.. Yerkes' reports state that
he never saw this child ape in a
rage. Her social relations with
him and with other human be-
ings of her acquaintance were en-

SCHOOL BOARD
'BACKDOWN' ON
Jobs IS seen
Assistant Superintendents
May Get Other Berths
in City System.
AIDED BY TENURE LAW
Miller Told to Consult
Attorneys Before Final
Action.

The Indianapolis school board
may back down on its recent de-
clsion abolishing positions and serV-
ices of three assistant superintend-
ents, it was learned today, if the
board finds the assistants are pro-
tected by the teacher tenure law.
In executive session late Tuesday,
the board instructed Superintend-
ent Charles F. Miller to confer with
Attorney Martin M. Hugg on the
tenure law phase.
If it is found the assistants are
protected by the tenure law, it is
understood, they probably will be
given other positions in the school
system.
Notified Of Custer
The three assistants, all of whom
have been connected with the
schools here for many years, are
Joseph E. Thornton, D. T. Weir and
Miss Flora Drake. They were noti-
fed last week their services would
be at an end at the close Of tn
present school year.
Decision of the board to obtain
legal advice on effectiveness of the
tenure law in the assistants case
is thought to have been based on
plans Of the three assistants to file
suit to retain their positions.
Board members refused to say
what places would be offered the
three, saying it would be left in
the hands of Miller.
Although no steps have been taken
to reorganize the school executive
staff since abolition of the three
posts, it is understood the board
has been considering two positions
named differently, to carry on the
work of the three assistants.
Salary Resolutions Adopted
Two resolutions affecting teacher
salary inceaSes were adopted at the
boards executive session.
One provides that salary increases
at present granted automatically
upon completion of additional col
lege or normal school teacher train
ing work, shall be contingent upon
merit of service during the previous
year.
1t now will be necessary for teach
ers to obtain approval of their pre-
vious years work from the school,
superintendent before they can OBJ
tain increases.
The other resolution provides that
the increases be granted only at the
beginning of the next school year
instead Of Immediately upon GER
LITIGATION of the completion of the
training, as at present.
