Tulane packers still were asking more points today and hoping, nat urally, for the most.
 Fans Sure of Winner
 The extreme to which the point givers were going was shown by tho record of fourteen years of New Years day intercollegiate compe- tition with only three games won by 20 poinas or more.
 In 1921 California defeated Ohio State 28 to 0, in 1880 when South ern California defeated Pitt 47 to 14, and in 1881 when Alabama de- feated Washington State 24 to 0.
 Tn none of those games was the winner favored by more than seven points at game time.
 Most annoyed by the enthusiasm over Southern California was Coach Howard Jones of the Tro- jans who pointed out to his charges that their opponents of the morrow had lost only one game in three years and were rated countrywide as very great team.
 He told them how Tulane al- ready had been given the national championship by many and how, while Southern California was giv- en the title under the Dickenson rating system. that the Erskine award was to be made on the result of the New Years day clash.
 Full House Ahead
 Brief workouts by both teams today at Rose bowl, scene of the annual clash, tapered off the prac- tlce sessions.
 The business office of the tourna- ment of roses announced record crowd would fill Rose bowl. The ticket sale lowered around 10000. The largest previous New Years day crowd was slightly over 10000 when Southern California played Pitt. That year the bowl was filled to capacity but since then 1t has been enlarged.
 The weather bureau said, without promising anything, that Ut Is likely that ideal weather will pre- vaiin

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL THEATRE

Undoubtedly Lew Ayres' best screen
vehicle since his memorable triumph,
"All Quiet on the Western Front" is
Heaven on Earth" which opens at
the Capitod Theatre on Monday.
Ayres' work Is exceptional in this
picture, and in the role Of States
Lilly he delivers a striking character
ization bewildered by his buffeting at
the hands Of fate. Anita Louise Is
capable and altogether lovely In the
leading feminine role. and other
members of an unusually large cast
who do pleasing work are Harry
Beresford. Elizabeth Patterson and
Charley Grapewin.
Scenically Heaven on Earth" takes
high honors, with many beautiful views
on the river, the steamboat ploughing
majestically through the water. the
motley collection Of rude "shanty-
boats" near the shore and the flood
which climaxes the picture.
Universal and Director Russell
Mack are to be congratulated on
turning out picture which will take
its place as one of the most thorough
ly satisfying productions Of the sea-
son. Do not fail to see it.

ADVOCATES CHANGE
IN SCHOOL SYSTEM
Reconsideration Would Effect
Substantial Saving Says
Education Head

Reorganization Of school districts
into physical rather than political
units would result in a substantial
yearly saving to the North Dakota tax
payer, according to Miss Bertha r.
Palmer, superintendent of public IN
struction.
1T Is obvious that the method of
setting up units is expensive and IN
efficient" Miss Palmer said. "At the
present time there are over 5000
school districts in North Dakota and
each contains several schools. AS a
result more than half the schools in
the state contain but one room with
an average Of only IA 1-2 pupils at
tending"
Establishment of centralized schools
in strategic locations where popula-
tiOns are centered would serve not
only to eliminate administrative costs
but would make for efficiency in
operation, Miss Palmer believes. "Tne
centralized school would obviate
many of the evils attendant on the
small school where one instructor
teaches all seven primary grades, oy
making possible the employment of
several teachers in each school.
Each instructor then could be assign
ed to children in certain grades
Redistricting on the basis of popu-
lation is the only means by which
people Of the state can solve prob
lem that has faced North Dakota
for q number Of years, Miss Palmer
said.
Programs along these lines are be-
ing worked out with notable success

on shipments up to approximately 800
miles; $1.25 on those up to $500 miles

press except inflammables, acids, live
freight and extremely fragile articles
The maximum package bulk under
the quoted rate is 100 cubic inches for

the next 100 cubic inches Is assessed
additionally at the half pound rate.
The maximum weight allowed per
shipment is 200 pounds and the max
imum value is $1,000. Shipments Of
unusual size will be handled when ar
rangements are made in advance so
that planes with the proper load ca
pecity can be made available.

PRESIDENT REVIEWS
EFFORTS TO SOLVE
RAILROAD SITUATION
Has Been Promised Action
Early in New Year on Recon-
struction Corporation

Washington, Dec. 19.-Pt-Promised
action by congress early in the New
Year on his $500, 900 900 reconstruction
corporation, President Hoover renew
ed efforts Saturday for even earlier
help on the vexing railroad situation
Bending every effort to safeguard
the national transportation, Hoover
turned hopeful eye to negotiations
between the railway executives and
labor over wages.
The president wanted immediate
approval OF the gigantic federal relief
pool to deal with the railroad emer-
gency, but congressional leaders told
him the project would have to await
the thorough study now launched. It
was agreed by these leaders that
hearings would be carried right
through the holidays. The chief exc
cutive Friday termed most urgent
the need for the emergency corpora
ton.
Leaders of both parties in congress
conferred at length Friday night, then
sent word to the white house they
would take up the presidents half bill
lion corporation plan as soon as posi-
BILE after the Christmas recess. This
will extend to Jan. 4.
To outline the national situation
demanding support of the new credit
unit, Under Secretary Mills of the
treasury appeared before congression-
al leaders. With him came to give
their views, Thomas w. Lamont of J..
p. Morgan and company, and Charles
E. Mitchell, chairman of the National
City Bank.
Signs of opposition to some features
of the proposal cropped up at the op-
ening Of hearings Friday before the
banking subcommittee.
