q. OF ID. COMMONS TO OPEN
Two Years Ago the Commons We're
Closed and Cafeteria Opened

When Delaware College, Univers-
ity of Delaware, reopens in Sep
tember for the new college year,
both the Commons and cafeteria
will be in operation. The Board of
Trustees in June at the request of
the student body gave permission
for the Commons to be opened
again on trial. Letters are being
sent out from the business office of
the university to students explain
ing the conditions under which the
Commons will be again opened.
Two years ago at the request OF
the student body the Commons was
closed and the cafeteria opened.
About the same group of students
who grew tired Of the Commons
are now tired of the cafeteria, with
the result they petitioned the trus-
tees in June to go back to the Com
mons. In the letter being sent out
it is stated that the Commons will
be opened for three months and if
not properly patronized will be
permanently discontinued. The
cafeteria will also be open during
these three months.

BOGUS TRAVELLERS CHECKS

A young man and woman, driving
an expensive automobile and dressed
as tourists, have been fleeing pro-
prietors of garages, oil stations, res
taurants and other business firms
of hundreds of dollars by cashing
bogus travellers checks, it is revealed
by George Susens, secretary of the
Minnesota Bankers association.
Mr.. Susens issued warning to
persons in Minnesota and adjoining
states to be careful in accepting ira
velers checks issued, especially, in
the amount of $40. The couple is
known to have cashed these checks,
aggregating hundreds of dollars, in
Freeport, Glenwood, Tracy and
Springfield in Minnesota, and Huron,
S. D.
The checks are drawn on banks
and organizations that do not exist,
Mr.. Susens said. Those that have
come to the attentin of the bankers
association have been drawn on the
International Bankers of Cleveland
and the Transportation National
bank of Akron, Ohio. There are no
such organizations.
The checks, dated July 6, 1929, and
all drawn in the amount of 500, are
Endorsed by the young man, under
the name of j. B. Waters. AS many
as eight checks have been cashed in
one town according to Mr.. Susens.
"The checks resemble very closely
the travellers check issued by banks,
but their style is very crude" Mr..
Susens asserted. "Proprietors of
garages, oil stations, restaurants and
candy kitchens have been the victims
chiefly. A bank, of course, would
readily recognize that they are not
bonafide checks"
The couple has been travelling in
a sedan and are we'll dressed, Mr.
Susens said. The man, appearing to
be about 25 years old, usually wears
golf Knockers. The woman appears
slightly older, according to informa-
ton brought to Mr.. Susens.-Browr

How Texans Voted on the Tariff

Rep. Claude q. Hudspeth halls from one " the great
livestock producing districts Of America. He voted for
the Hawley republican tariff bill on final passage In
the house. Rep. Augustus McCloskey Of Bexar county,
speaking for the 14th congressional district, lined up
with Hudspeth for the Hawley bill and voted for it
on final passage. Rep. Mansfield had been called to
Texas on account Of illness. Rep. Fritz Lanham was
absent but paired against the bill. All the other mem
bers Of the delegation voted against the bill
Rep. Garner had asked repeal Of the flexible tariff
provision and in place of the tariff commission as now
constituted. would have created a tariff fact finding
commission responsible TO congress alone. He lost.
Democrats voted for the Garner proposal and repub-
licans lined up against it. Now the fight has been
transferred to the senate.
Many republican congressmen expect the senate to
reverse the house three cent rate on sugar. Garner
lost his battle for duties on long staple cotton and oil.
He insists that the senate should place a duty on long
staple. crude and iute. He opposed the provision Civ
Inc a president tho power to raise or lower tariff rates.
He lost. His contention is that this is a very ranger
uus provision and is abrogating the powers vested in
congress.
His arguments against the provision IS interesting:
There are many rates carried in this bill on manu-
featured products that are internationally toe high;
but that j. where the republican party gets its cam
naign fund. or the major portion. from the rich man
ufacturer Of the north and east and. Of course. they
have a strangle hold upon the republican party"
Garner has been a member Of the house 26 years.

In the making Of four great tariff laws. Now what

Financing State Highways

The problem Of providing funds for the State High
way Commission with which to carry on the work q
constructing a connected system Of main reads
throughout Texas viii be one OF the most serious prob
lcr2s to face the legislature during the special session
opening Monday.
Rep. Leonard Tilloston Of Austin county has a pro-
gram which he urged before the past two sessions.
Communication sent to county judges Of Texas one
Of which was received by Judge o. G. Dancy here, re-
veals he will again urge the same measure.
Not the least Of It's merits is that it is simple and
workable.
Here Is how they tell about it in his letter to the
Judge and others interested in the cause of more
money for state highways:
"Our program for a just registration fee bill ana an
increase in the gasoline tax to four cents failed in the
special session Just closing. This failure was due to
the fight made for a fifty per cent reduction in regis
tration fees. which would deny the counties any IN
crease allotment now or hereafter, and would IN some
instances take away a part Of the amount the counties
are now getting. The failure Of the gasoline tax was
due to opposition both Of gasoline distributors, and
the imposition of these who insisted upon the extreme
reduction IN REGISTRATION fees being passed before any
increase was made in the gasoline tax. The natura!
result of these contentious was the inability 70 get
an agreement on how much the gasoline tax should
be. and how much the reduction in registration ices
should be and how these fees would Be divided.
MY original program is the best that l think can
Re arranged. This Is for q gasoline tax Of four cents
ell to 60 to the State Highway Department. For the
retention Of registration fees on trucks and busses and
all the commercial end Of motor vehicles at the pres
ent schedule. and all these to 20 to the State Highway
Department. For a % per cent reduction en- the fees
collected from passenger cars or domestic cars. and al
to be allowed to the counties up to a maximum Of
s2oOc0oO0.
This arrangement gave the state the necessary mini
mum income for the Highway department budget:
gave the counties an increase Of something like one
third over the present allotment; and reduced the
registration fees on passenger cars one-fitth. This is
a fair adjustment or all considerations.

Was appointed a member Of the library commission
Of his home town or Kearny when he was 10. At the
age Of 20 he was made city commissioner. At the age
Of % he was chairman or the republican county com
mittce. a year later he was reelected city commits
sioner Of Kearny, serving two terms as fire ana police
commissioner.
And IN November Of last year. four months before
he reached the age Of 26, he was elected to congress.
And don't forget. he told the writer. Il was put
into every single one Of those Jobs by less than iO00
votes over my opponents.
His choice as city commissioner was by a margin of
200 votes. He was reelected by 400. He gained a
berth on the republican county committee by only 10
votes. He was sent TO congress with only 321 votes
to spare, and then only after a recount.
Hartley regards his contest for congress the greatest
thrill he has ever experienced. A stalwart orqaniza-
ton republican, he was turned down cold by his party
leaders because Of his youth. Not to be daunted. he
entered the primary as an independent and won the
nomination BY TIA votes.

that campaign" he said. People constantly we're
telling me that they agreed with my platform. but
they could not vote to send a kid to congress. NV

rally. Only a miracle saved my uncle from having his
skull crushed with the butt Of a gun. And there's no

TO carry the spirit Of America to Paris. Well have a
26-ycar-old boy to carry the spirit OF the eighth con-
gressional district to Washington.
II worked. He won the nomination. Entering the
general election. he based his campaign on national
issues. The vote was tabulated and he was SAG shy.
He demanded a recount and put up $4,000. Some
$4,000 ballots were counted again and he had an or
fetal majority Of 344.
He got his certificate Of election. hired an airplane
and flew to Washington to file il.
He is the father Of three children. two boys and one
girl.
Hartley expects to be be seen rather than heard
in congress during the next two years. He plans in
PRODUCING no legislation. His ambition is to 50 serve
his constituents that they will return him for another
term.
