DU -FOUR SIGNS.
WITH Hawks
BY George A. Simpson

Ray DuFour, Catholic Univer-
sity's great tackle OF last year
has been signed to perform with
the MoIawks this season. The In
iians are in need of tackles and
consider themselves fortunate in
obtaining DuFour, whose older
brother, Puggy, played with the
southwest team two seasons ago.
Coach Craig Wilton, former Gem
trial High, Georgia Tech and George
washington haIfback, will scriIn-
mage his players tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock on the Navy Yard
field. The Mohawks. it is reported,
have the best-looking squad that
ever represented the club in foot
ball. This indicates they are de-
termined to regain the champions
ship that the Apaches wrested from
them last fall.
The squad numbers forty, in
Guiding several former college
Iuminaries who distinguished
fhemseIg es for their respective
teams. The MOhawks have
three complete eleyens and
when the season opens they
will have two teams Of equal
strength.
This will help Coach Wilton, who
has succeeded Jack Hegarty as the
Mohawk boss. Last year, the
Hawks suffered because their re.
serves were not up to caliber. The
outlook presages an Improvement.
The schedule is practically COM
pleted with only two dates open
and these are listed for tentative
games. The big slxirmish with tna
Apaches will be held December 2,
at the Clark Griffith Stadium.
The lid will be tilted on October

other and larger doll concealing the
telephone instrument.
The electric light brackets by the

Peter shifted his weight from one
cramped leg to the other.
GOSH" he breathed. what way

His change Of position brought him
within sight of the door, where stood

flushed face was a study in alarm,
pleased excitement and admiring awe.
1t was larger number of emotions
than that ingenious countenance was
used to expressing at once, and the
effort had widened her eyes to the
roundness of very blue marble. She
stood fiddling with the door knob, OBJ
viously seeking an excuse to remain
in the room. The stolid set of DR..
Cavanaugh's shoulders and his relax
ed attitude before the dressing table
indicated bland and patient waiting.
In the darkness Peter grinned.

and the doctor is calmly sitting her
out" he opined.
The window was closed and he could
not hear what was said. but in an
other moment the maid, with a broad
smile making her cheeks bulge rounder

treme respect toward the figures at
the dressing table, withdrew, closing
the door behind her.
Peter eaSed himself to his knees and
reached for the upper ledge Of the
window. He had no intention of spy
ing. He would open the window and
tell the doctor he was there. Then, If
he wasn't wanted he'd depart along
the thorny path by which he had come.
DR.. Cavanaueh's eye, reflected in the
wide mirror of the dressing table, sud-
denly met his-met them without
change of expression, but with an un-
mistakable glance of recognition. In
another instant the window was quiet

caught in the farmers apple orchard
and required to make an ignominious
descent from the tree. Stih1y he

ton.
"But-but you couldn't. possibly have

~ somewhat absurdly on a very
small chair whose long spin
ding legs and short back gave 1t the dis
torted look of something that had
started cut to be tall and had stopped
growing.
1t was the sort of chair peculiar to
ladies' dressing tables. but as this was
the first time Peter had ever seen a
lady's dressing table, it appeared to him
something of nonstrosity.
Dr.. Cavanaugn's solid bulk, clad in
its usual sober black, projected beyond
his insufficient seat; he looked, Peter
thought, rather like block of granite
balanced on the top of four far too
slender stakes.
Ife dressing table itself, a glass;
topped, triple-mirrored affair on which
at the present moment the doctor
rested a noncllalant elbow, was covered
with a surprising multitude of objects,
each of which looked like something

The glass bottle of rose-colored bath
salts had the form of an elephant; a
squat object which should have been

Former Governor Lowden Impressed with Farm
 Relief Policy

CHICAGO, Aug. Il. - Former Governor Frank 0. Lowden. champion of the agricultural cause, has issued statement through the Republican head quarters saying he is much im- pressed. with Herbert c. Hoover's acceptance speech.
 His frank recognition of the agricultural problem. the most urgent economic problem of our nation today, is very heartening. I have stated a thousand times the general acknowledgement that the problem exists. Hoover's pro- posed stabilization of corpora tion can only attain the object which he hopes he can accom- plish if the cost can be distribut- ed over the commodity involved and not taken from the treas ury," said the former Governor.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. h. Wet and dry lines are sharply drawn as Ohio voters chose party candidates at the States primary election.
 With interest centering on the Republican Gubernatorial and short term Democratic Senatorial contests, predictions are made that the heaviest vote in many years will be cast, possibly reaching 900,000.
 The Prohibition issue is prob ably the most pronounced-the race between Senator Cyrus Loch- CT, dry, and Graham Hunt, wet, for the short term Democratic Senatorial nomination. Locher is endorsed by the Ohio Anti Saloon League i. The fight is ex- pcted to draw heavy vote from the rural sections. Hunt has been opposed by the League for many years. It is anticipated his sup port will come from the large cities.

pearance and manner. MacMurray is dark, thin, nervously energetic even temperameatal, to degree. Johnson, little portly of build, with thinning sandy hair, is, by habit, philosopher, with kindly, tolerant view of men and their af- fairs, whatever their race or col or. Both are of long experience in the external business of gov ernment.
 With MacMurray in Picking and Johnson at home with his wide knowledge and experience avail able to the secretary when the problem of China was to the fore, American policy has been held rigidly to that attitude of open friendliness with Young China's dreams of modern government which has characterized it since the revolution of 1911 overthrow the Manchu dynasty and created what has proved to be up to now a republic on paper only. So far. the masterful war lords have held the actual power.
 It is too soon yet, as friends of China like MacMurray and John- son see it, to say that China the common people of China-at last are coming into their own under the Nationalist sway; there are still to be reckoned with trio or more of menacing war lords. But MacMurray and Johnson have had, too abiding faith in the ultimate destiny of the Chi nese people. And every word of advice they speak is and has been tinotured with that faith. It is written into the fundamentals ot American Chinese policy of today and is a sure guide to the deepest motives of the Washington govern ment in any Chinese crisis.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-swith the signing Of the new tariff treaty with the Chinese Nationalist gov ernment as representative of all of China, Secretary Kellogg has given effect to policy of friend ly aid to Chinese nat'onalistic as- pirations that survived grave per ills in the days when Russian So- yiet advisers dominated the Ma tionalist movement.
 The elimination of those advis- CTS by the Chinese themselves changed the whole situation for the Washington government. While American policy las never de- parted from strict neutrality as between the warning factions. it would have been a far more vex- ing business had a Soviet con- trolled Nationalist regime scored the final success.
 In moments of greatest stress in American Chinese relations, Washington has largely been guided by the deep knowledge two of it's permanent corps of advis- CTS have of Chinese history and Chinese character. They have stood unshaken in their beliefs that the inherently Chinese traits which explain the dislike of fore ign devils among China's mass es, must come to the surface in the Young China movement itself sooner or later and sweep aside influences cropping from without
