Hollywood Man, on Long
Endurance Tour, Stops
Here for Swim.

You who sweltered through more
than 100 degrees in heat waves last
, summer should get kick out of
this.
Most Of you then were seeking
refreshment in bathing pools, but
how many are swimming these chill
January days, particularly with only
the ice cakes of Fall Greek for COM
pany?
It's part of this young mans job,
He is Frank Fielding, Hollywood,
who says he is one of three remain
ing out of 600 who April 2, 1928, be-
gan strange endurance tour with
a $4,000 prize awaiting the WINNER,
if any, in 1882.
The test, sponsored by motion pic
ture companies, is to determine how
tough the human body is, Fielding
declares
He wears only white duck trous-
ers and a white cotton shirt, be-
sides shoes and stockings; he must
be on his feet twenty hours a day;
sleep only in chairs: battle outdoors
once day; and exist on a diet OF
twenty-four eggs, six of them raw;
two cans of soup, three quarts OF
milk, a quart of orange juice, loaf
of bread and a box of crackers.
Fielding says he has Skated and
walked 1929 miles of the $4,000 he
must complete before 1882. He says
he already has covered all South
and Central American countries,
and after touring Indiana, Arkansas
and Louisiana, will go to Europe.

VOTE ON DRY
LAW is ASKED
Eighteenth Amendment Re-
vision Urged in Resolution
by Perkins.

Senator Chester A. Perkins Dem,
St. Joseph, personal dry who
contends that prohibition has been
tried and found wanting intro
duced in the senate today joint
resolution asking congress to amend
the eighteenth amendment.
Perkins proposal calls for an
amendment vestirig the regulation
of liquor sale and manufacture IN
congress with the several states
acting on its ratification in state
convention. He calls attention to
the fact that nine members Of the
Wickersham commission favored
submitting the question to popular
vote.
The resolution declares prohibi-
ton has nullifled most of the good
accomplished by the temperance
movement, has fostered graft in
public Office, financed crime, and
given liquor the glamor of forbidden
fruit in its appeal to modern youth.
The Perkins resolution went to
the committee on constitutional re-
vision of which Senator Winfield
Miller (Rep., Marion) is chairman.
A similar resolution introduced by
him in 1929 failed.

SHOALS ISSUE
UP ON MONDAY
Effort to Be Made Again for
COMPROMISE.

BIZ SeriDps-Hoi0Grd Newspaper alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-What
may be the final effort to reach a
compromise on Muscle Shoals at
this session will be made next Mon
day when conferees of the house
and senate resume their sessions.
The last session broke up when
Senator George w. Norris (Rep.,
Neb) walked out after house con-
ferees had refused to agree to his
stipulations concerning the. lease of
the nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals.
Senator Charles l.. McNary (Rep.,
Ore), chairman of the senate con-
ferees, said today he proposed to
exhaust every effort to reach an
agreement with the present con-
feree5.
He said he had not paid atten-
ton to the proposal made infor-
mally both in the house and SEN
ate, to let the matter lie over until
the next session brings a congress
which probably will be more friendly
to the Norris bill for government
operation of the Shoals.
Unless something unforeseen oc-
ours between now and the confer
.enee,- many senators and representa-
tives believe it will end in another
disagreement.
In that event, more attention may
be paid to the resolution recently
introduced by Representative John
Garner CTexas). the minority leader
asking discharge of the present
house conferees and appointment of
new ones.

NO YEAR BOOK, DELAWARE
"Blue Hen" Not To Be Published
This Year at Delaware College

The announcement has come
from the publications committee
of the University of Delaware that
there will be no Blue Hen publish
ed this year. 1t will be recalled by
the alumni of the university that
the Blue Hen is the bi-annual pub
lication of the Mems College. All
the students lok forward to this
book as the record of their college
career. 1t is a record which they
wish to carry with them. a record
to which they will turn frequently
to revive their memories of days
spent at Old Delaware. Such a
book of cherished memories of
Delaware. Such book of cherish
ed memories Delaware will not be
among the souvenirs of the pres
ent juniors and seniors. 1t has
been difficult in the past to make
the publication self-supporting
Two years ago it was put out at
a tremendous loss. The following
wear the student body was taxed
to make up the deficit. Under the
present methods of financing, ad-
vertising must be depended upon
to pay at least half the expenses.
1t appears impossible, this year, to
obtain the sufficient advertising
funds for the publication. But this
should not keep the year book
from being published. Other col
leges put them out without the aid
of advertising. They have regu-
lar publication fee which is paid
upon registration in just the same
may the athletic fee is paid. For
those colleges, financing is not
worry. All the work is in making
the box a thing to be desired by
the students, a complete panorama
of their college life. Athletics
amounted to practically nothing at
Delaware until the business office
and the alumni came to the rescue.
1t appears that unless these two
forces unite in rescue, the Blue
Hen will become thing of the
past.

mer shortage. The rain shortage
continues, the bureau reported, in
the area bounded by the Appalach-
ian Mountains on the east, the
Ohio River on the south and the
Mississippi to the west. Maryland,
Delaware and the District of Co

the country for 1880 getting only
So per cent of normal rainfall.
