Notre Dame and Pitt Make
Strongest Bids for Ma

PURDUE TAKES LAUREL
Saturdays Games EIimi-
nate Several Aspirants
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Steff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.--With the
1929 football season entering the
final weeks of competition, sectional
leaders have been firmly established
in all parts of the country and two
teams-Notre Dame and the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh-stand out as
the leading contenders for national
championship honors.
Both Notre Dame and Pitt i'm
proved their titular claims during
the past weekend, Rockne's Irish
nosing out Southern California by
the slim margin Of point after
touchdown while the PantherS
swamped reputedly powerful de-
fenSive Carnegie Tech team by a
"a to Is count.
Pitt Claims Edge
Despite the cloSenesS of their win
over the Pacific coast team, the
Irish maintain front ranging in the
race for national honors because
of the difficult schedule they have
played. Pitt fans contend that the
Partners decisive win over Carnegie
entities them to rating above Notre
Dame, Carnegie having held the
Ramblers to a 7-to-0 score early in
the season.
However, the majority of critics
will continue to give Notre Dame
first consideration.
The defeat of CornellS hitherto
unbeaten and united eleven by
Dartmouth left Pitt as the only re-
naming contender for eastern sec
tional honors. A victory over Penn
State in their remaining game will
give the PantherS a section cham
pionship.
Purdue Shares Honors
Notre Dame is forced to share
mid-wetSern section honorS with
Purdue, only undefeated Big Ten
conference team. By beating Iowa
Saturday, the Boilermakers cinched
their first championship in all the
years of conference competition.
Tennessee and Tulane remain I'M
beaten and united in the south,
Tennessee having eliminated Van
derbilt from the race for sectional
honors Saturday. Tennessee, having
played the harder schedule, gener-
ally will be conceded the sectional
honors.
California held its lead on the
Pacific coast by nosing out Wash
ington Saturday, but has not yet
cinched sectional leadership. The
Bears meet Stanford this week. IN
less they win the Coast conference
will end in a triple tie between Cali
fornia, Stanford and Southern Cali
fornia.

GUIDE EXPLAINS:
TRADE PLANS

An interesting example Of the
work of trade associations in clear
ing up industrial practices, and
promoting good will among mem.
bers of various groups within an
industry is presented in the nav
arbitration committee Of the Society
of American Florists and Ornamen-
tai Horticulturists.
Granville GUIDE, assistant treas
urer of GUIDE Brothers Company,
who is member of the society, to-
day explained the working of the
new plan whereby trade differences
within the flower industry are being
adjudicated at a minimum of cost
to the parties concerned.
Twenty-Five florists of national
prominence have been chosen as
arbitrators under the direction of
committee of five. charged with
the general administration OF the
entire plan. The arbitrators have
been chosen from five groups whic!i
represent the five essential divisions
of the industry.
Trade problems within the in.
dustry call for pretty close know
ledge of the workings of the entire
industry, Mr.. GUIDE said
mo agency outside Of the indus
try is qualified to act in deciding
trade dispute.
"The arbitration machinery is not
brought into functioning until both
parties have agreed to submit the
question to it for adjudication. Nc
correspondence may be held direct
with arbitrators; all is handled
through the secretary of the society
in New York.
Through arbitration within the
industry, the expense of settling
trade differences is much less than
through litigation"

To ADOPT
Wife, son

Emmons S. Smith, jr., in Equity
Court, today filed a petition asking
that he be allowed to legally adopt
Clinton Grove Hardesty, 5, the son
of his wife by former marriage.
The mother consents to the adop-
ton.
The petition filed by Attorney
Leonard A. Block recites that the
child was born while the mother
and father We're separated. and that
Frederick Hardesty, the child's
father, was indicted in the local
courts October 26, 1925, for non.
support.
He failed to keep an agreement
to pay $50 a month for the benefit
of his child, it is alleged, and the
wife prosecuted suit for absolute
divorce and was awarded custody of
the child and $50 a month for It's
support at the time her degree was
granted.
When Hardesty failed to comply
with the terms of that order, he
was again indicted for non.support
on January 10. 1928. but the petition
alleges he has since failed to con.
tribute to the child's support.

Senator King Pushes Plan to GiDe D. c. More Pover
TRADE B D DIES
ARE INVITED
To HELP

Civic and trade organiza-
tions Of the city will be asked
during the fall and winter to
study new plan for increas-
ing local autonomy, according
to plans of Senator William
II. King of Utah.
Senator King today completed a
revision Of his former suggestion
regarding extension of the powers
of the District Commissioners and
announced that he will seek 10
have enacted at the approaching
regular session legisla tion which
may be agreed upon along this line
by local organizations.
The Idea of the Senator Is to
make the Board of Commissioners
a semi-legal legislative as we'll as
executive body.
Would Help Congress
Senator King believes that by In.
creS sing the authority of the Com
missioners a better local admins.
trative system would be effected
and that in addition Congress would
be relieved of bothering with the
many purely local matters which
now interfere with it's national de.
liberatiOnS.
Among the matters which Sena-
tor King would shift from Congress
to the shoulders of the Commits
sioners are those pertaining to
streets, sidewalks. pf rks and hos.
pitfalls.
All matters which would ordi
rariIy he dealt with by a town.
council or a city board of aldermen
would be left up to the Commits
sioners under the plan Of Senator
King.
Not Suffrage
He pointed out today that under
the present system Congress ie
called upon to act even in the very
streets. This could easily be
| his opinion. and should not require
action by the national legislature
| Senator King in advancing his
! plans for greater local government,
made it clear that he is not pro-
| posing suffrage for the District.
He declared that he is not in
favor of removing control OF the
District from the hands of Con.
gress, insisting that the Federal
Government must be supreme in
control of the National Capital.
Seeks Unity
Once before Senator King adj
Nanc9i a proposal to increase the
powers of the Commissioners and
submitted It to various local organi-
cations. These organizations were
unable to agree upon the powe,
i which should be vested in the
Commissioners and because Of this
disagreement Senator King failed to
push his proposed bill.
The Senator believes that during
the fall and winter he will be able
to get the local organizations to
unite on a definition of extension
of power for the Commissioners and
he purposes after obtaining this
opinion to embody It in a measure
which he hopes to have enacted.
