coming Committee did not extend as
glad a hand as he had expected. With

ness in his reception, the Senator, on
! the ride to the hotel, happened to re-
mark in desultory conversation that the
nickname pat" had chung to him since
school days This chance comment in
stantly dispelled the restraint. Goodness
was supplanted by an excessive warmth
of welcome, and the chairman, who In

Education by radio, which is the OBJ
| iect of the air rallies the political COM
mittees will put on, is more readily
adapted to adults at home in evenings
| than to adolescentS in schools, accord
| ing to education specialists, who point
out that As colleges and universities IN
] the United States have established ex-
tension courses in which instruction is
| given by radio. Altogether, n colleges
| and universities have established broad
| casting stations of their own, while 30
/ other institutions of higher education
| broadcast matter over commercial sta
| lions The first college extension
| course by radio was offered by Massa-
| cl1usetts in 1923. when three students
were enrolled for course in household

dents have been enrolled in that state

Dwight w. Morrow, Ambassador ex-
! traordinary in more than the dlpio-
matte sense. will soon resign his am
| bassadorship, which has added fame to

| and financial worlds. Relations between
! Mexico and the United States have I'M
proved UNNECESSARILY since the former
| partner In the House of Morgan under
| took their direction, to the dismay OF
| those persons who profess to believe
| that distinguished representatives OF
Big Business are not qualified for Gov
| eminent service. Morrow, at OF, is
| starting on a political career which his
friends predict will carry him beyond
the United States Senate.
