MARVIN DEPLORES
COLLEGE FOIBLES
"Coonskins and Slang Remnants
of Adolescence" G. W. U.
Freshmen Told.

Today's college freshman puts aside
such remnants of the irresponsible
days of adolescence" as coonSkin coats
college caps and collegiate slang, DR.
Cloyd Heck Marvin, president of George
Washington University, advised the
university's first-year class at the for
NAL opening assembly yesterday.
Don't confuse the burning of gas
with the burning of midnight OIL" DR.
Marvin admonished the freshmen
You may go further overland on the
former. but it won't get you as far on
the road you are to travel" he told
them.
"Loafing is a disease, a malfunction-
ing of worthwhile energy. Some OF
the most inveterate loafers are those
who look the most busy. They are
busy about being busy; never going
anywhere. Choose as your friends
those who are going somewhere and
know where they are going" DR.. Mar
vim advised.
The freshmen were urged to stand
on their own feet" and to "be in
dividuals.'
Dean Henry Grattan Doyle explained
to the freshmen the advisory system
which has been instituted in the new
junior college, whereby every student Is
provided with an adviser who not, only
will assist him in planning his courses,
but will serve as a faculty friend to
whom he may turn with any problem.
The provost of the university, DR..
William Allen Wilbur, presided at the
assembly and introduced the speakers.

HOOVER ABANDONS
TRIP TO HIS CAMP
Revision Of Speech to Be
Made Next Week Keeps
Him Here.

President Hoover today abandoned his
plans of going TO his fishing camp on
the Rapidan for a week end rest.
1t was said in his behalf that he was
anxious to get away TO his camp prin-
cipally to be with his son Herbert, who
is confined there, but he wanted to
complete writing the speech he is to
deliver next Thursday in Cleveland.
He thought he had his Cleveland
speech out of the way when he sent II
to the Public printer several days ago
but when he received the printed proofs
he started making so many changes
that the document has virtually been
rewritten.
Delivers Speech Thursday.
Even when the corrected proofs were
returned to him yesterday he made
further changes. Today he was whip
ping the paper in shape to return to
the printers with the hope that it will
be off his mind for good or until the
time comes for its delivery before q
Bankers Association at Cleveland
Thursday night.
In the meantime the President has
been drafting the two speeches he is to
deliver in Boston. October 6, one before
the American Legion and the other be-
fore the American Federation of Labor,
and the one he is to deliver the follow
ing day at Kings Mountain, N. c., Incl
dent to the celebration of the 15Oth an
niversary Of the Battle of Kings Noun
tain.
Reports Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover are re-
ceiving each day from the Rapidan
camp are to the effect that their son
is responding splendidly to the treat
ment prescribed by Capt. Joel T. Boone,
White House physician.
Mrs. Hoover has tentatively planed to
go to Indianapolis to attend the six
tenth annual convention of the Nation
al Council of Girls Scouts, of which she
is the head. The meeting is scheduled
Monday and Tuesday. If Mrs. Hoover
decides to attend this meeting she will
leave Washington tomorrow night

to Washington to accompany the Presi-
dent to Philadelphia to attend the OPEN
ing game there of the world series base

Threescore Changes to Be
Made as Result of Par
ley Held Here.
PLANE MANUFACTURERS
GIVE THEIR VIEWPOINT
Nearly 100 Attend Conference.
New Rules to Govern Growth
of Aeronautics.

Drafting of more than threescore
amendments to the air commerce regu-
lations and airworthinesS requirements
of the air commerce act, which will
govern the growth of civil aeronautics
in the United States, is to be under
taken Immediately by officials of the
Aeronautics Branch of the Department
of Commerce following the annual con-
ference with airplane manufacturers, 1t
was announced today.
Nearly 100 manufacturers and their
representatives, in attendance at the
conference, voiced agreement with
approximately rs per cent Of the sc
amendments proposed by the depart
ment. Changes were suggested in others
and several are subject to further study.
In addition the manufacturers SUBJ
mitted many proposed amendments
which also must be studied.
Will Be Promulgated.
The amendments finally agreed upon
probably will be promulgated about the
first Of the year. it was indicated today
following the conference. These amend
nentS, affecting many phases of the
design, manufacture and use of civil
aircraft, will become the law controlling
the deStinies of the aviation industry
during the coming year.
one or the chief points In issue be-
tween the manufacturers and the De-
partment of Commerce is the recent
establishment by the department OF
engineering and flight test bases in
various parts of the country as part
of its decentralization program. In the
past aeronautical inspectors have been
sent by the department to the various
airplane factories to flight test planes
submitted for licensing.
Complaints Are Needed.
Establishment of the field stations
was decided upon by the department as
a result of complaints by manufac-
turerS that there were not sufficient
inspectors to make the rounds of the
factories quickly enough and that long
delays in getting new planes flight
tested and approved were injuring their
business.
Their opposition to the new system, It
was indicated, is that they do not want
to be compelled to fly their planes to
the test bases for what amounts to
public tests of their products. The
matter is being considered by officials
of the department and will be covered
in the series of amendments to the act
