HERE'S WHY YOUTH
 GOES TO COLLEGE
Chance to Meet Colds Reason in
 Many Instances

Columbus, O.. Feb. 10. (UP)-. The possibility of obtaining an ed- ucation never occurred to students of Ohio State University when they were asked their reasons for attending the institution.
 But here iS the major lure for attendance: Because 1t is said a lot of pretty girls come to Ohio State University and Ohio State men are nice to co-eds."
 The startling discoveries were. made by Donald Haynes. sopho- more in the School of Journalism. who wanted spicy story for 'The Lantern" the university daily. and circulated the questionnaire.
 The answers further revealed that some students selected Ohio State to uphold family tradition. as a chance to win fame as m athlete. to make social contacts. to satisfy dad. and similar req sons which ran the gamut of al. most everything but the subject of an academic education.
 Some of the echoes from male students were:
 Il heard that | lot of pretty girls came here" My best girl came here"
 Everybody ought to go to col lege."
 This was nearest home and my best girl stayed here." "'Cause my father. mother. sis ter, aunt and uncle came here."
 II thought I could get . job quicker if had university de- gree"
 'I wanted to improve my mind"
 Co-eds responded like this:

They were the kline Of children whose

She saw huge. bullying, gay Gre
tonne.covered bags, arranged In neat
rows, by color and number cards, to
match the little boys and little girls.
FOR the children. Mrs. Hoover spoke
almost an ulttmatum:
win you please arrange It 50 the
right child q with the right bag?"
she said to the master Of ceremonies.
IT I just give any bag to any child
that comes, I'll get them all mixed up.
I went out once and mixed up bags.

bags for these children"
The organ played carols. The line

Of the boys and girls ct home with

She asked for details OF all that

Half Way to Heaven" possesses
. real dramatic punch. And It rings
true. In this picture the eternal
triangle again comes in for obser-

handled with SO dcft a touch, with
such skill and understanding and
above all, with such dramatic sweep
that the curiousity and interest it
aroused in its firts few sequences arc
never relinquished until the final and

development, major credit must 70

$4,000 PAID
IN TAX FERRET
CASE REFUNDED
Action 0bviates Civil Suit
Filed in Fulton
County.

BIZ United Press
ROCHESTER, Inc, Jan. 22.-End
to the civil suit against Howard Du
Bots, Fulton county Republican
chairman, for the return of $19,-
120.37 for services as a tax ferret,
came here today when Du Bots went
to the courthouse and paid County
Auditor Hugh McMahan the sum.
Du Bots stated that he took this
action because of dissatisfaction of
many taxpayers with the transac-
ton and that he wanted to stop any
future unpleaSantness over the mat
ter.
The case, started in 1927, involved
employment of Du Bois by the
board of county commissioners as
tax ferret at a so per cent fee. A
few days later he turned in Sc
queStered taxes of George RentSch-
Ter, wealthy farmer, who claimed he
did not know he owed taxes on some
Of his Ohio properties. The money
was paid Du Bots after it was ap-
propriated by the county council.
In May, 1928, the transaction was
brought to the attention of the state
board of accounts. After an in
vestigation, the board demanded the
return of the money claiming the
payment was illegal, and Attorney
General Arthur Gilliom filed a civil
suit for repayment. Witnesses we're
heard here by Special Judge John
Hitch, Plymouth, on Dec. %. The
case then was continued until Feb.
II.

BILLS RUNS TO
COMEDY AND DANCING

The new bill at the Lyric is
rather spotted in entertaining value.
Two acts of an athletic nature fol-
low each other, as well as a couple
of eccentric acts.
Such an arrangement does not
make a bill Of sufficient variety IN
nature, but several of the acts do
land audience interest.
Jimmy Reynolds is one of those
story tellers who knows how to tell
yarns about the abused wife. His
stuff is all hokum, but he knows
how to put it over. And yet as
1 study this man he will be the out
standing individual or the one you
will be thinking about when you
leave the, theater. His material is
inartistic hokum, but he knows how
to sell it and that is an accomplish
ment.
Fred and Daisy Rial do some ring
stunts in a clever way. They are
preceded by Frank Viola and COM
pany, who specialize in the perch
and trapeze. A good act. More
hokum of the domestic nature done
in sketch form by Billy Farrell and
company. Farrell has wicked feet as
he is a splendid eccentric dancer.
His supporting cast is of the old
fashioned type. Again this sort of
stuff gets over with a bang.
Hawthorne and Cooke are
eccentric hOkum comedians. "StrainS
and Strings" is musical Offering
composed of string grouping of six
men. The music they play is above
the average, way above it. There is
also woman dancer.
The movie is Lois Wilson in
Object Alimony.'

BY A. L. BRADFORD,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-There
will be no dumping of German rep

market, it was learned today, but
the United States gradually will abb
sorb an important share of the Ger
man reparations obligations, if the
international experts reach an
agreement on a practicable plan.

the PREPARATIONS problem will not
hinge merely upon a plan to trans
fer the German obligation to this
country.
AS a practicable, business-like
agreement is reached on plan of
gradual absorption of share of the
bonds by the American market, with
the proper guarantees to American
investors, this country's bankers will
pe ready to handle the proposition,
and it is understood the government
will have no objection.
Meantime, the European govern
ments today sought to rush through
final selection of j. Pierpont Morgan
as one of the unofficial American
representatives in the reparations
meeting, along with Owen D. Young,
head of the General Electric Com
pany, and Thomas Nelson Perkins,
Boston lawyer, as alternate.
