Statements from officials OF univer-
sites throughout the United States re-
veal little general difference between
that of the peak" year Of 1929-30.
While some deans confess they FORE
see slightly smaller registrations, others
look for additional students because of
their reasonable" tuition. At least
one college expects to boost its enroll
ment by trading entrance fees for po-
tatoes, eggs and anything else market
able.
Accepts Farm Produce.
That institution is Illinois Wesleyan.
Its president, DR.. w. H. Mcpherson,
announced his college would accept
the tuition per year and pay premium
above the market price"
The University of Nebraska, while ad-
mitting early indications foretold a
small enrolment decrease, believes
students transferring from more ex-
pensive schools will 60 far toward max
ing up the loss.
Washington University Of st. Louis
expects larger enrolment because it
Is offering free courses in law, engi-
neering, liberal arts and graduate
courses to the unemployed who rank
as juniors or higher.
Reports from over America indicate
universities in the East and West ex-
pect either the same or increased en-
rollments. Some State universities In
the Middle West anticipate slight de-
creases.
Ryland Newman Dempster. registrar,
announces applications from new
students at Johns Hopkins University
are running 10 per cent ahead of last
year.
The University Of Maryland looks
forward to an II per cent increase
and this, 1t was added, follows the
largest enrolment in its history, that
of 1892.
Slight Loss Foreseen.
Ohio State University expects not
more than l per cent decrease. Its
traditional Big Ten rival, the Univer-
sity Of Illinois, estimates loss of 10
per cent. Registrar G. P. Tuttle, while
refusing to SAY anything Official" said
permits granted to new students to
date are running almost 800 behind
those last year.
The University of Michigan expects
no decrease.
While most colleges and universities
in the Rocky Mountain region declared
it was too early to estimate their en-
rollments, they were sufficiently opti-
mistic to believe the 1882 matriculation
might exceed that Of 1931-which was
larger than 1905.
The Oklahoma A. & M. College re-
ports twice as many transcripts have
been received to date as normally, and
predicts an enrolment which will be
"close to the peak" DR.. H. Y. Bene-
dict, president of the University of
Texas, expects no change either way
Normally 100000 students enroll In
the colleges and universities of the
United States. Last year the figure was
about 1,250,000.

"And even today, hunger is the most

Hunger, including thirst, will in the end

nette women are the adventurous type
blonde are the type that like shelter

today. Cooper is in charge OF special
pictures of adventure at the R-K-O

not only because he's writer, but also
because he's an adventurer, explorer

I'm not speaking of gold-diggers
when speak of adventure" Cooper ex-
planned. What mean IS that the
women who go out into the wilderness
with their men to establish pioneer
homes, and the women who climb
mountains and make solo flights across
the Atlantic, are generally brunettes.
There are plenty Of exceptions
naturally. But it's the brunette as q
rule that helps the pioneering kind OF

lished, it's the blonde who turns out

HOLLYWOOD, September 5.-An in
dustry once symbolic of reckless ex-
travagance and lavishness, motion pic
lures have been butting their collective
heads recently against a stone wall
labeled "stop!"
The business depression, the curtail-

poor quality of talkie product in the
post-novelty years, all contributed to
the serious situation which made many
producers despair of holding their own

done some plain and fancy retrenching
in salaries, in production costs, in
overhead, in every direction. It will
doubtless do more.
Better Pictures Made.
But enough has been done to enable
the industry to survey results. From
the present outlook Hollywood is making
better pictures under the new order than
it did when extravaganza was con-
doned. Quality is patiently improving
to the potential joy of the box office

spent more wisely.
