Il SCHOOLS ENTER
0RATORY CONTEST
Total Expected to Be In
creased Further Before
Competition Starts.

A new high record for the number of
participating schools has been set by the
Ninth National Oratorical Contest, with
II secondary schools of the District Of
Columbia, Maryland and Virginia al
ready listed in the conpctition for
speech-making hc.lor5 and handsome
prizes.
The previous record was set last year,
when IS schools participated. While a
new high stands today, the total num-
ber of schools in this years contest,
which is sponsored by The Evening Star,
is expected to be increased as the con-
test organization is. completed.
Particular interest has centered about
the subjects of the orations to be de-
livered this year and about the prize
2l2 month tour Of Europe. While the
main topic will be the Constitution
and personalities allied with it, thou
sands of students throughout the coun-
try are taking advantage of the Blcen-
tennial celebration to honor George
Washington in their orations.
Washington's part in the constitu-
tional convention at Philadelphia is
renowned in history and biography, end
the high school speech makers Of the
world-famous oratorical contest are
doing their part to create an interest
in and respect for the Constitution =
the principle of the contest-by dis
cussing that contribution to the United
States by its Revolutionary War leader.
European Tour Offered.
The European tour which IS the prize

one Of the neighboring counties viii re-
ceive for victory in The Star area finals,
is exciting interest by virtue of the fact
that Geneva, site of the Disarmament
Conference and the sessions of the
League of Nations, will be paid lengthy
visit. Interested in good government,
as any student would be who makes the
research necessary for the preparation
of an acceptable speech in the contest,
the contestants are keen in their desire
to visit the city in which are held what
probably are the greatest present-day
assemblies in the interest of govern
ment improvement.
But Geneva is not the only point of
interest which the young students of
government will visit. That city will
be their headquarters while in Swltzer-

She Visits Baxter Durham and Sees
THE Sights Of the Capital
In the primary campaign julia
Booker 10 years old, got a let
ter from Baxter Durham, asking
her to vote for him for state
auditor Perhaps the letter was
meant for her grandmother Of
the same name, but the younger
Julia accepted it. She wrote TO
Mr.. Durham and said she was
sorry She couldn't vote for him,
not yet being old enough, but
she'd be glad to if he were still
running for office when she came
to be 21.
A correspondence ensued, and
the hope was expressed, on both
sides, that there might be a
meeting. Oscar Coffin and his
son Bud invited Julia and her
father to go to Raleigh with
them day before yesterday. Her
baggage consisted of a kid
bound autograph album.
She visited Mr.. Durham in
his office, and she went through
the capitol, and she saw the mu-
scum, and she viewed the eclipse
from the office of the NeUs and
Observer. She came home with
several distinguished names in
her autograph album.

Game Declines on Posted Land?

One sure method for bring
ing about reduction Of game
and game birds on any large
tract Of land, according TO ac-
tual experiences noted by the
New Jersey Fish and Game
Commission, is to post that lana
and prohibit all hunting" says
The American Field. This
paradoxial situation develops,
commissioners believe, because
the vermin or predatory birds
and animals, if uncontrolled, in
crease much more rapidly than
do the game upon which they
prey.
The grounds in New Jersey
where game is now most scarce
are those very tracts or large es-
tates on which no hunting has
been allowed for many years.
Experience is teaching conSer-
yationists that on lands open to
public hunting and trapping the
gunners and Wardens manage to
xiii off or at least hold in check
the predatory foes Of birds and
small game, AS a result, the
natural increase in game is
greater. The extent to which
licensed hunters have aided the
state in the war on vermin is
shown in a tive-year survey of
the game census. During this
period the sportsmen, independ-
ent of wardens, destroyed
54,492 tramp cats, 26,O42 Weas-
els, 3,519 foxes, 341 crows, 298
hawks, and 36 predatory dogs. "

be virtually non-partisan re-
form administration. It might
last for only one term, but it
would make the old parties get
down TO brass tacks.
And would it take over and
regiment business? Not very
far. The Socialist platform calls
for the socialiZing of power,

if a Socialist administration
could accomplish that against
Congressional opposition, but
even if it did there would be
plenty Of room left for indivi-
dual initiative. Not so much as
three years ago, but We see
where that led US; no govern
ment could run the banks much
worse than they were run by
men who lent money TO every
BODY for-eVerything in 1929 and
will not lend money 10 anybody
for anything now jn 50 far as

industries and businesses, that
would cost d great. deal Of mon
ey it would call for stiff sur
taxes. But every rich man
would nave enough left to live
