nounces that the advance sale Is
the greatest in Georgetown's foot

Simply because Georgetown
has played one game at night
and practiced under the lights
last night at the Clark Griffith

toppers an edge over the Bob

played any night games. Yet.
GEORGETOWN had no previous ex-
nerience under the lights before
tackling Loyola in Chicago.
LoyoIa had played several
games at night and hence
was thought to hold the I'd.
vantage over the Blue and
Gray. Well, sir, that 16-6 vic
tory fails to tell GeOrgetOwn's
alIaround superiority over
LOyOla.
And despite Head Coach

Chance Discoveries by
Favorites of Fortune

Every one has heard of Carrara
marble. In 1929 party of English
tourists explosing the mountains of
Carrara found a dirty block of mar
BILE which had evidently fallen from
a cliff overhead. One of the visit
ors, who had some knowledge OF ge-
ology, noticed that this stone had
pink tint that was unusual. The
sample was taken to England, where
it was found to be new variety.
A quarry was opened and proved
profitable. Two women, Mrs. Will
son and Miss Spencer, were cross
ing the Mojave desert, in southern
California, looking for gold. They
were not successful, and one night,
feeling discouraged, camped on the
bank of a small creek and lit a
fire to cook their supper. The ire
began to throw out dark, ill-smell-
ing smoke, so that it was impossible
to go near it or cook on it, and the
poor, tired women were forced to
collect more fuel and light fresh
fire. In the middle of the night
Mrs. Wilson sprang up suddenly. Il
know what it Isl" she cried. What
on earth are you talking aboutf'

right That find proved much more
valuable than gold mine, for a

acres and made the fortune Of

Claim Napoleon Sought
Inspiration in Bathtub

Napoleon Bonaparte was fond OF
taking baths, warm baths from
which steam arose to envelop his
head. There in the privacy Of his
bath plans for campaigns came to
him, his mind was cleared Of other
things and whenever he had a men
tai problem to master he would seek
his thought-inspiring baths.
The tubs the French conqueror
used in his campaigns were crude
affairs compared to those of today.
They were quite appropriate for
Bonaparte, small and round. He
had more than one of these tubs,
and he used them before jena.
Wagram. Austerlitz, Leipsic. Before
Waterloo he had several Of these
baths, hot baths that would have
scalded an ordinary person. 1t is
known that he stopped three times
on the way to the battle from Paris
to bathe. His baths were highly
scented of eau de Cologne, and be-
fore he would enter the tub he
would sprinkle the liquid literally
over his body.

Woman Become Silent Sex

Women Of England, especially
professional women, have acquired
a new virtue-silence. Newcom-
ers into the professions are out
doing the men in their desire for
professional etiquette, and refuse
to advertise. Many people have
declared that successful profes-
sional women are less human" than
successful professional men. 1t is
claimed that they suffer from a "su-
periority complex" and a sort of
divine right of queens" hemming
themselves in impenetrable barriers
of silence and self-importance.

Hill OF San Antonio.
William Furlong, formerly of
Boston, is probably the only ranger
spats. But "Big Bill'' soon proved
that he was as good in top boots
as in spats. He had hunted and
trapped in the Maine woods and
took to ranger life with ease.
There is no drill for the Texas
range, no uniform and few orders.
He relies upon single action. A
Texas sheriff fearing mob disorder,
frantically wired ranger headquar-
tiers at Austin for assistance. In a
few hours lone ranger stepped
off the train.
"Only one man?" gasped the
sheriff as he welcomed the ranger
"You only got one riot, haven't
yOu?" was the answer.
Specially Picked Men.
Being a specially picked man, the
Texas ranger is one of the few
peace officers not placed under
bond. ANY one who has a COM
plant against ranger can lodge
it with the adjutant general who
conducts an inquiry. If not salts
fed then, the offended person is
welcome to take it up with the
ranger personally.
There may be exceptions, but
this freedom hasn't made the regu-
lar rangers "hard boiled" When
the bankers of Texas, through their
organization, offered a reward of
$1,000 for bank robbers dead, not
alive, Capt. Frank Hamer led the
protest against such a practice.
1T will lead to framed killings" ;"
predicted Hamer. Two cases of
such alleged killings are now pend
ing in Texas courts.
Though the death rate has been
high since the rangers were first
formally recognized by the republic
Of Texas as frontier defenders, the
roll of regular rangers has been
small.
Special rangers" have been COM
missioned by many governors.
Their number is legion. And moth
ing makes a regular ranger mad

Not What He Meant

There is a good story told about
that well-known Congregational
minister, Doctor Horton. AS a theo-
logical student he objected strongly
to the clerical collar, and In his
college magazine he wrote a strong
article about it, ending with the
words: II will wear nothing to dis
tinguish me from my fellow-men." !"

While Mcdonald, who would

has passed on, there are rangers
today who wouldn't need the bucket
OF water.
There's Capt. Frank Hamer of
Headquarters company. He has 20
scars because he wouldn't shoot at
a man who wasn't shooting at him
first. There's Capt. Tom Hickman,
a regular VIII Rogers with a rope,
and a pistol shot unexcelled.
Hickman's duties recently took him
on an airplane journey. 1t was his
first time up.
"What would you do il you had

Il reckon I'd throw my guns over
first and then I'd just naturally go
after them," he answered.
Four Companies Of Rangers.

stroyed In successive state capitol

the rolls was Thurlow Weed,

House PASSES new
ENFORCEMENT BILL
Measure Permits Petty o.
lenses to Be Tried by
Commissioner

Washington. June 5.-P-The key
piece of legislation in the Hoover
law enforcement commissions pro-
gram for increasing the effective
ness of the prohibition statutes today
bore the approval Of the house and
awaited the action Of the senate.
This vas the much disputed mea-
sur to permit United States COM
missioners to handle minor violations
Of the dry laws without a jury. It
was passed by the house late yester-
day after heated debate. Three 9TH
er measures connected with 1t were
approved by the house on Tuesday.
This group. by amending the Jones
law and the United States code, would
define and fix maximum penalties
for misdemcanors and authorize an
accused person to waive his consti-
tutional right Of trial by jury. These,
too. aroused bitter controversy.
The fourth bill was attacked by the
wet bloc and by some dry members
as unconstitutional and involving an
undesirable change in judicial proce-
dure. They attempted to send it
back to conference, but failed 225 to
157. 1t was approved, 218 to lit. with
many dry Democrats joining admin
istration Republicans in voting for
its passage.
The bill was amended from the
floor to authorize commissioners to
handle petty offenses against all the
federal statutes, to permit a defend
ant to appeal for a jury trial or by a
judge, and to fix a limit upon the
amount in fees that a commissioner
could collect for pleas Of not guilty.

Latter Stages Of Voyage Across
Atlantic Ocean Marked by
Stormy Weather
FORCED TO CHANGE COURSE
High Winds and Heavy Rains
Cause DirigibIe to Swing
NorthWard

The Graf Zeppelin, having safely
completed her seventh crossing of the
Atlantic Ocean, was en- route from
Seville, Spain. to her home port at
Friedrichshafen, Germany. today, ac-
cording to Associated Press dis
patches.
The Graf arrived at Seville after
a crossing marked by stormy weather
IN the later stages of the voyage. She
stopped to disembark several passen-
gers and then continued her Journey.
She spent only half an hour at Sc
vile.
The Graf arrived over Seville at
$3.50 p. m. She had been expected
early this morning but heavy rains
and winds had forced her to divert
from a straight course from the
Azores and to swing to the north so
that she made her landfall just south
of Lisbon, Portugal.
The Graf flew over the CITY of
Seville to an accompaniment of
cheers from the inhabitants. who saw
her last on May Goth when she left
for Pernambuco, Brazil and the
United States. The flight from Lake
hurst to Seville took 50 hours and
eight minutes.
After flying over Seville, the Graf
had completed about 10000 miles of
her $4,000 mile four-continent journey
which started on May 18th.
Although 1t had been raining dur
Ing most of the day. causing the
Crafts lateness, the skies cleared and
by mid -afternoon the sun was shin
ing. The wind had dropped and land
ing conditions were more favorable.

Delayed When Point of
Order Is Raised

Washington, June 5.-P)-The tar
if bill was returned to conference to-
day for the fourth" time when Vice
President Curtis upheld a Democratic
point of order against its rate pro-
visions.
While the decision will delay the
long-pending legislation, Republican
leaders expect speedy correction OF
the rates and return of the bill for a
final vote next week.
The rates questioned today are en-
braced in the original conference re-
port already approved by the house.
The vice president upheld the con-
tcntion that the conferees exceeded
their authority in rewriting the duties
on watch jewels, rayon, speciality
cheese. and a section providing for
free entry of cattle for pasturage
purposes.

Of Chowtsun.
The naval dispatches said the ma
tionalist defenses had reorganized
near the strategic railway line and
that a sharp engagement was still
going on late in the day. Service on
the railroad had not been interrupted
The development was said to have
aroused apprehension among for
eigners in Tsinan. Some prepared for
an expected siege of the city, while
numbers of others left.
This was the second setback Of the
day for the Marking nationalist. The
first was the loss of the important
city of Changsha, capital Of Human
province, to a motley horde OF
kwangsi province rebels and bandits
known colloquially as the Red
army.
Dispatches tonight from foreign
gunboats standing off Changsha said
Kwangsi forces totaling 10000 men
had occupied the city, and that more
were coming in. The 10000 national
list troops retreated making a feeble
show Of resistance, it was added.
All foreigners in Changsha had
been concentrated on an island in the
Slang river off the city, the dis
patches explained. where they were
under the protection of the foreign
gunboats. Japanese residents were
said to be moving to Hankow, Hupeh
province, IN the Yangtze river.
The declared objective of the Red
army Is Hankow itself and its sister
cities, Wuchang and Hanyang.
In decided contrast to most rebel
victories, the Red army was report
