The scene of the play was in an

tradition which dictated that each
member of tht squadron should bring

ridiculed by his former college chum
and now his captain.
In an attempt to regain his former
status in the squadron, Don goes out
alone and engages In battle with an
opposing plane, and is fatally wounded.
He is carried back to the airdrome and
before his death is commended for his
deed and is assured that he is not con-
sidered coward

when you used to go TO school did
the teachers try to see which one
could give the longest assignments?'
Where did you receive your edu-
cation?"
These questions and similar ones arc
almost obsolete because it is now not
a matter of where you received your
education, for the pertinent question
today is: How or where are you cor

Mrs. j. K. Dwinelle enrolled in the

lieves that adults should avail them

this course she anticipates pursuing

The art of impersonating certain
characters and of creating an atnos-
phere of realism by the method of
correct vocal expression, facial ex-
preston, and the use of the accou-

This dramatic ability was exempli-

picted a war scene.
A play of this type is especially diff
ficult to present, since it is not only
necessary for those taking part to get
into character but they must create
such an atmosphere of realism that
the audience will be so transported in
thought and emotions that the scene
being enacted seems real.

HOUSE TO ACT
ON LAME DUCKS
Vote on Amendment Likely
by Next Tuesday.

DU CNtttO IfPSS
WASHINGTON, Feb. u. The
house took up today the So-called
lame duck" constitutional amend
ment, to clear the way for submis-
sion to the states of this first major
reform in legislative procedure since
the government was established.
A final vote on the Rutherford
resolution, which is similar to the
Norris resolution passed by the
senate, probably will be taken next
Tuesday.
The resolution makes these
changes:
Elimination of the present short
session of congress, with its auto
matte ending on March 4, ses-
sion in which members who have
been defeated at the polls, popu-
larly called lame ducks" sit and
vote.
Congress, instead, would meet on
January 4 every year and sit as
long as it pleased. Members would
take their seats in January after
election in November, instead of
thirteen months later, as now.
The President and Vice-President
would be inaugurated on Jan. "a,
instead of March 4.
Provision is made for election of
President in case of the death
of the President-elect, a contingency
which would find no solution in the
Constitution. 1t also provides for
presidential succession in various
eventualitieS.

concerted peace mission.
Mamoru Shigemitsu, Japanese
minister, conferred with Sir Miles
Lampson, British minister. Later
he talked with Henri Widen, from
France. Nelson T. johnson, Amer
lean minister, said he expected to
meet Shigemitsu Saturday.
Lampson and Widen indicated
they we're advised Japan was ready
to negotiate a peace only on con-
dition that Chinese forces with
draw to positions sufficiently dis
tant from Shanghai as to remove
all danger to the international
settlement. These terms the Chi
nese consistently Lave rejected.
The ministers took the peace
negotiations out of the hands of
the local consular body authori-
ties, headed by Edwin S. Cunning
ham, United States consul-general.
After the meetings of Lampson
and Widen with Shigemitsu, they
and johnson arranged a highly
significant conference. with the
Chinese civil authorities at the
British acknowledgement at 9 p. m.
