 Roberta H. Christensen of Lin coln, now Nebraska correspondent for the General Federation of Women's Clubs, says that Ruth went through the university on a hop, skip and jump.
 Her home was crosstov from the university" she says. Ruth usually finished her hit and miss toilet and her hastily snatched breakfasts on the little suburban bench by the car line. Those were the days when hats were hats and off with the old, on with the new was one of Ruth's pet last minute diversions.
 The story of the silk umbrella cover which she tied round her waist one morning when she could not find her belt is now a Delta Gamma classic at the university.

Enforcement Officials Kill ed Doran Makes
 Caustic Statement

Further Statements Expect ed as Congress Takes
 Up Prohibition

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. AS Congress settled down to another week of work it found the Prohibit tion question forcibly thrust for ward by the killing of two Dry Agents at West Palm Beach, Flor ida, and Q subsequent statement by Commissioner Doran that re- cent caustic utterances from Capi- tel Hill about the Enforcement per sonnel was in part to blame for the killingc.
 Tn both Houses of Congress, Pro- hibition legislation has played a conspicuous part and program has now been mapped out.
 Opinion prevails that comment will shortly be forthcoming on both the slaying of the Enforcement of ficers and Doran's announcement.
 G',ae proera p for bolstertTe of the Prohibition laws was taken up today by the Senate Judiciary Com mittee and subcommittees were ap- pointed to consider pending meas ures.

BEAM OF LIGHT GUSTS
 QUAKE RECORDING PEN

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 20.- The old earthquake recording pen, which .once wobbled clear off the paper in tracing the record of the great Japanese quake. has been re- placed at Harvard by beam of light.
 Thus do styles in seismographs change, to fit recent discoveries that mother earth's face is not the stable vase it once was supposed, but is surface full of delicate tremblings.
 The new instruments replace the comparatively sluggish records of pens with highly accurate tracfngs made by beams of light falling upon sensitiZed paper, which is developed like photograph. Where the old seismographs weighed hundreds of pounds. the new ones weigh con- siderably less.
 These modern instruments can record small tremors, New Eng lands baby quakes, many of which

TWO DRY AGENTS ARE
 KILLED, WEST PALM BEACH

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, Jan. 20. = Prosecution of George w. Moore, in the State Court on a charge of murder, the staying of two dry agents during a raid on his home, is asked by Federal authorities coincident with the statement of Moore's attorney that the officers attempted to raid Moore's residence without a legal warrant"
 District Administrator Futile, of Savannah, said data gathered at his investigation of the killing of Robert K. Moncure and F. R. Pat terson, will be turned over to the Florida officers with a request for action against Moore. He said war rants to search Moore's home were obtained upon information that 12 quarts of liquor were purchased from him last Saturday and it was further shown that Moore was an alleged bootlegger.

escaped the larger machines. They will be used in cooperation with the Canadian government station at Ottawa and it's branches at To- ronto and Halifax to run down earth movements in the eastern sec- tion of the continent.
 Although they are capable of re- cording quakes 10000 miles away, they open more fascinating branch of scientific study. With them Harvard will investigate mi croseisms, small trernors not classed as earthquakes.
 The cause of microseisms is not fully understood. At Harvard it is said that some observers think they may be due to sudden changes in barometric pressure.
 Tn India similar instruments have given definite records of storms at sea, some of them more than a thousand miles distant.
 The preliminary reports of these tremors attribute the delicate vi brations to the pounding of waves.

Advertising Aids Texas
 To Settle Ranch District

LUBBOCK, Tex, Jan. 20-The South Plains area of Texas has found that it pays to advertise it's farming opportunities.
 A year ago Lubbock started a campaign to bring settlers to the section that formerly was raw ranch land This fall alont 600 families moved into the district, aad more than 90,000 acres were sold at low prices.
 Several large ranches that once spread over thousands of acres have been split up into farms av- eraging 160 acres apiece.
 Next year, in an effort to in- crease it's population still more, Lubbock will spend $22, ,0O0 for na- tional advertising of the South Plains area. Cotton, corn, Sudan grass, wheat, grain sorghums and live stock are grown on the former ranch land.

Great Conference Opens III London In Vest

EMPHASIZES LOOM

Hoover's Announcement Is Received-Powers Are
 Silent -Conciliation

LONDON, Jan 20. Preparations for the elaborate diplomatic and physical settings of the Naval Conference, which opens tomorrow, have been completed, with the Am er!can delegation playing Q prom inent part.
 Battleships, momentarily, are the absorbing topic of conversation.
 Disclosure that President Hoover Tis ready to move for battleship re- duction, was received generally to- day as one of the most hopeful signs although it is realized the Ioffer must be conditional on what other powers are willing to do.
 The British, who will be af- fected most, made no comment.
 The Japanese, apparently, are distinctly favorable. Great Britain has already indi- cated she will go far toward seal ing down battleships but the cougs of real difficulty is in ealculating the reduction which would mean real parity.
 Italy's purpose, it seems, is to stand pat on her demand for par ity with France.
 Tn the meantime, some lesser clouds lowering about Westminster Palace, where the conference opens tomorrow, are also troubling the delegations, although on the whole the atmosphere is tempered with conciliation.

(AsgociateG Press Staff Writer)
 As the season of preparation
 comes to an end, every day is
 bringing into clearer outline the
 shadows of those coming events
 which are to make history at
 the naval conference of London. [ It is evident now that when the delegates of the United q States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy meet for the first time Janu- ary 21, they will sit together in an atmosphere Of high hope and seri- GUS purpose; yet with full con- scicusness that they are in the presence of real differences of na- tional viewpoint.
 Although much has been accom- plished in the pre-convention ne- gotiations, it can be said with as- isurance that the sessions at Lon don will constitute a conference in the truest sense of the word, and not a ratification meeting to pre- sent to the world a completed pro- gram worked out beforehand.
 Speaking broadly, the public dis closures thus far have indicated near approach to real agreement between the United States and Great Britain; a disagreement of some proportions between these two and France; a separate and diff cult rivalry between France and Italy; and a disposition by Japan to keep aloof from these involve Iments but to ask for slightly greater recognition than she has had heretofore in the naval world.
 This situation will be seen to embrace much that is encouraging and much that might easily be hazardous. Taking into account the past events which always are part of such negotiations, here is partial picture of the way mat ters stand as the delegates assem- ble on London:
 At the Washington conference in 1921. these same five powers agreed to limit battleships and aircraft carriers according to certain ratios, wiht Great Britain and the United
