With a four cents advance in gaso-
line prices on Christmas Day, a cut
price war ended by mutual agreement
in the southern division. Gas now re-
tails in this division and the southern
territory at Is cents, the standard
prevailing price.
Because Redwood Falls is border
ing the southern region local filling
stations have been affected by the
price war which has given lower
prices than in the northwest region.
Tourists and statesmen from the
south cof here have bought gasoline
in small quantities of one or two
gallons, sufficient to drive to cities
south of Redwood Falls, where they
then would fill up where the retail
price was IA cents.
Gas price remains the same in this
region as this portion of the state
did not get the benefit of price cut
ting, local oilmen said.

villages south of Redwood Falls were
still retailing at the cut price rate

stopped at local stations.

PEARSON EXPLAINS
COLLEGES PURPOSE
Primary Objective Is Study
of New Problems in Life,
Educator Says.

The main purpose of a university is
not, as some people seem to think, to
educate young people, but to conduct
research, to study and solve the new
problems created by the growing COM
plexitieS OF modern life, to the end that
we all may find . better way to live, I"
said DR.. r. A. Pearson, president of the
the dinner of the Old Line Club, the
alumni organization in Washington. at
Stoneleigh Courts.
THE universities have the problem
of finding the best things to do in all
walks of life and then getting that
message to the people, so that they
may benefit BY it.
Modern living conditions are pre-
senting so many problems that the task
Of the universities Is growing greater
and greater. Our bacteriologistS con-
stantly must continue the fight to iso-
late germs and find for them q de-
structive serum, 80 that our medical
men may attack successfully the dig
eases that affiict humanity and prevent
such scourages as at times in the Mid
die Ages swept the world"
President Pearson in his address gave
incidents Of the development Of college
life, especially at the University of
Maryland, and told Of the increase and
improvement in physical equipment
He also said that one of the great fac
tors In college life is athletics, and that
athletics form one of the biggest phases
around which to coalesce student and
alumni enthusiasm
The meeting also was addressed by
Tom Mills, athletic director of George
town University; DR.. w. w. Skinner.
member of the board of regents, and
DR.. Russell, Oldest living alumnus OF the
university. He Is 81 years old.
The club before closing, adopted res
olutions over the death of Fred Linkous,

DAVID MOVERS RECITAL.


With an extremely interesting and un-
hackneyed program, David Earl Meyer,
concert pianist, making his initial ap-
pearance in Washington, last night de-
lighted an appreciative audience In the
Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel Of
Howard University.
Mr.. Meyer, who is professor Of piano
at Obelin College. possesses q technique
and brilliance that Is rarely observed.
For one who presumably spends much
OF his time in teaching, 1t is more un-
usual.
Poetic feeling Of high order, To-
gether with a rare sensitiveness as
to tone color and an unfailing sin
certify in his attitude toward his music,
all are noticeable In addition to excellent
style.
From the opening number on his pro-
gram until the final selection, one felt
that the artist was swept along on a
bounding enthusiasm for the music,
fulfilling its trying demands.
His fingers seemed literally to dy
over the keyboard, yet retaining to q
high grade of excellency the delicate
rhythmic shading demanded.
His opening numbers were four organ
choralS by Bach, Awake! The Voice
Calls to U.s." In Thee Is Rejoicing"
IT Cry to Thee, Lord" and Nov Re
J0ice, Dear CHRISTIANS, all With special
arrangement by BuSoni. These selec-
lions afforded the audience its first
glimpse of the true artist.
Following these came Schumann's
"Etudes," presented with sparkle and
delightful incisiveness.
OF a group of Chopins music, the
well known "Ballade in A Flat Major"
seemed the best.
The final number was the "Hungari-
an Rhapsody No. H." giving the art
list, in one selection, the opportunity
to display many of his talents.
At the conclusion of this number,
the audiences applause repeatedly CALI
ed the young artist back. B. w.
