mill" measure. designed to place mini
mum requirements on educational in
situations comforting degrees under In
corporation here, has been presented to
the Washington Chamber of Commerce.
which for two years has been active In
urging enactment of the law.
The pen. accompanied by letter
from Everett Sanders, secretary to the
former President, was received by the
chamber late yesterday and will be
treasured by the organization as me-
mento of the long fight which it and
other local organizations made against
institutions fraudulently comforting de-
greeS.

the directors of the chamber, Col. Will
liam 0. Tufts and other members OF
the committee on universities, colleges
and private schools. which acted for the
chamber in the matter, were lauded for
their determined efforts.

of the diploma milf situation follow
ing disclosures made by The Star ana
Miss M Pearl Mccall, assistant United

Over Peace Pact
BY the Associated Press.

Foreign Minister BRAND of
France, in a message to Secre-
tary Kellogg, said he was deeply
touched by the friendly wording
of the telegram of March 2 in
which Mr.. Kellogg said he felt
the ratification of the anti-war
treaty by the French Chamber of
Deputies was due to the foreign
minister's personal influence and
was a cause of happiness to him
because the pact had been rati-
fled by France before his term
of Office ended.
81 am glad that the practically
unanimous vote of the French
chamber" telegraphed M. BRAND,
"can bear witness to the Ameri-
can people of the confidence
placed, in France, in the general
pact for the remuneration of war,
the thought from which it ema-
mates and the hopes which it per-
mits."

subject for every mans daily life" by
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, secretary 4
the Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, at luncheon OF the

Instead of evolution denying inmor-

in evolution to explain why they do not
believe in Immortality DR.. Wilson
said in the course of his address.
In the latter connection he said, In
substance, that if evolution is an
eternal process and if matter or energy
are never destroyed that it does not
seem reasonable that mans life stops
