tional allusion to De Pauwites as
sisters" is so peculiarly "cave-man-
ish" that I am impelled to believe
that the writer of that headline
might have been from Wabash.
When 1 was an Undergraduate at
De PAW nearly twenty years ago,
the self-styled cave men" of Craw-
louisville had a yell that started, if
memory serves me right, "Wee-ah,
Sisters" Back in those days the
undergraduate at Wabash went to
classes and chapel in their under
shirts. But on Sundays the Wa
bash boys donned boiled shirts,
| combed their hair and took the
the Monon for Greencastle to en-
terrain the real sisters" Of Asbury.
No one at Greencastle objected par
ticularly, and, strangely, there were
very few morganatic marriages.
Nevertheless, it rankfes a little to
have our present generation at De
Paw referred to as sisters, believ-
ing in fairness that the degenera-
ton in all educational institutions
has been quite uniform. For eX-
ample, it would not be exactly cor
rect to refer to DR.. Roller, the origi-
nal rough and tumble wrestler, as
a sister" even though he did go
to De PAW. How about General
Omar Bundy? How about Ikey My
ers, who was the second man in the
world to run the mile in Alp? No
one ever called Doc Roller a Sis
ter"to his face-that is, no living
person.
Saturday will see a renewal of
that traditional De Wabash
rivalry! Here's a bet that the isis
tiers" win. What does that make
Wabash?

You'll find it hardest to breathe
oxygen at high attitudes, where
there is less of this gas in each
pint of air than in an ordinary
closed room. Men living at high
attitudes have to become acclima-
tized. Their hearts must pump
more strongly and more rapidly.
They have to take ten breaths to
make one step.
People who live more than $4,000
feet in the air, such as those who
try to climb Mt. Everest, must
have strong hearts, plenty of red
blood, big lungs, and deep breath
ing power. If a man breathes pure
oxygen, he can fly $4,000 feet high;
without it, he can not survive $4,000
feet.

The Sn0q Of Propaganda
I THINK that the snap is mnI

THINK that the snag is much
Il more likely to be propaganda
rather than Russias attitude
toward religion in Russia. But
here. again, time may be wasted
on an issue which is of no vital
Importance. In the first place, it is
miSconception to think of Com
muniSm as something belonging ex-
clusively to the Soviet government.
1 doubt very much that the Third
international effectively could COM
pei the cessation of all Communist
agitation in this country. There
would be nothing on earth to pre-
vent you or me or the neXt-door
neighbor from saying that a CO.
operative commonwealth can be
achieved only by violent revolution.
We could say this if we believed it.
In fact, I suppose we could say it
even if we didn't believe 1t, and T
fail to see how anybody in Moscow
could give blanket assurance that
no such theory would ever be voiced.
The. palpable fact is that at the
present moment Stain is not much
interested in world revolution. The
Soviet experiment has become high
ly nationalistic. Travellers from
Moscow have told me that ne
American Communist leaders are
but lightly regarded back in the
workers homeland. This may or
may not be true, but the Commun-
lists here and the Communists in
Russia most certainly do not always
see eye to eye. Official announce
ments by Soviet leaders have occa-
sionally been censored in American
radical publications on the ground
that a phrase or a paragraph was
unsound.
If there were complete under
standing between Moscow and
Union Square one might expect to
see the Daily Worker pulling it's
punches little during the progress
Of the negotiations. On the con-
trary, this party organ has con-
tinued to aSsail President Roose-
welt as strongly as ever.

It Seems
to Me
by HAYWOOD BRoUN.

- ID hE hOOO DhONSN=---
NEW YORK, Nov 17.-writing
L about Russian recognition has
been rather ticklish business for any
columnist because of the risk that
everything might be settled between
editions.
But at the moment there is
delay and possibly hitch. The dis
patches which undertake to reveal
the nature Of the knot can not be
taken too literally. There is the
possibility that the correspondents
are merely guessing or relying on
the Say-so of somebody who talked
to man who knows a man. It is
not likely that Litvinof or Roose-
welt has taken many into his con-
fldence.
In spite of its origin as an in
spired message from Russia I am
skeptical of the suggestion that
freedom OF worship in the Soviet
republic is the issue under discus
sion. I certainly hope that no such
question has come up, for 1 can not
conceive that this problem is our
business or concern by any stretch
of the Imagination We have in
times past recognized countries
holding to any one of twenty or
thirty beliefs, and if Russia is en-
gagged in trying to promote atheism
/ see no reason why the United
States should NEEDLE. If Russia is
wrong the matter will come up at
Judgment day or even earlier. Our
own state department holds no
mandate from the Creator to look
out for heavenly interests.

SLABS Trustees

BY Taxpayer.
1t is time for the taxpayers to
start an investigation of the
trustees office. The office is help
ing people who have an income of
from SIS to $40 a week according
to one case that was referred to
me. This party's husband has
notified the trustees office twice
and no action has been taken and
it is not up to the taxpayer to
pay these high taxes to take care
of families that have more than
the average taxpayer is making.
I have investigated this particular
case and found everything that
the husband of this party has
found to be true. This woman is
getting this basket to feed her
daughter and two children while
she spends her money elsewhere,
and I think it is up to the tax
payer to start move to lower the
taxes, as I think they will find
hundreds Of cases similar to this
one.

RAILROAD CROSSINGS

NNE of the jobs which the government
" proftably might consider in connection
with it's big public works program is elm
nation of railroad grade crossings.
Most grade crossing accidents are the
fault of the motorists, to be sure And it
can not be denied that in the dreadful list
of traffic accidents the grade crossing occu-
pies, relatively, a minor place. Nevertheless
the unprotected crossing is a danger and it
is one altogether too common in America.
furthermore railroads all over the coun-
try are experimenting with new high-speed
trains. Speeds of 80 and 100 miles an hour
WILL apparently, be fairly common on Amer
lean railroads in the not distant future.
With such Speeds the grade crossing will
be far more dangerous than it is now. 1t
would not be a bad idea to spend a good
sum of money on the job of eliminating it.

i. S. FIRMS Seeking
FOREIGN BUSINESS
Manufacturers Plan to Send
Sales Agents to Distant
Countries.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer,


American industry B viewing with
considerable optimism the future Of It's
foreign trade, II inquiries received at
the Commerce Department can be re-
garded as q criterion.
Last week there were lis communi-
cations from American firms seeking
foreign representation, the largest for
any week during the last three years
Sales agents for q wide range Of Amer
ican-made products in nearly every
country in the world were included
Only one Of the firms inquir1ng desired
to transfer an existing agency, the
others seeking new outlets. Most Of the
requests received were for agents in
Latin America and In Europe.
Recently the department suggested
that American Arms having foreign
connections should make every effort
to maintain these foreign outlets, even
during stagnated business, in order that
the foreign point of distribution be kept
available pending an upturn in trade.
A manufacturer Of jigsaw puzzles re-
quested the department last week to
furnish names of agents to sell his
wares in 81 countries. Sixteen requests
were from makers of safety razor
blades, Is from paint manufacturers,
Is for agents to sell groceries and other
packaged goods and g. for agents to
handle textiles such as wearing apparel
and piece goods.
Requests were also received to find
suitable foreign agents for radios, au-
tomotive equipment, cash registers,
electric ventilating machines, insecti-
cides, machine tools, kitchen utensils,
pins and road-building machinery.
In answering requests for information
on agents the department supplies the
names Of qualified persons in each sales
area whose business references have
been investigated.

BOND LIST DROPS
!. As SELLING GAINS
long-Term U. $. Government
Issues and Corporation
Group Are Lower.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Substantial
declines occurred today in a long list
Of semi-speculatiy domestic corpora
ton bonds and further losses were
registered in the long-term United
States Government loans. The selling
that took place in both groups was an
aftermath OF the vigorous rallies Of last
week when there apparently were Gre
ated some over-extended dealer &C.
counts.
The cause Of this decline was, there
fore, mainly technical in its nature. In
the case Of the junior rails the reaction
was in the face Of higher prices for
railroad stocks. The losses In this
group ranged from / to points and
were most extreme in the issues Of the
Baltimore & Ohio, Great Northern,
Pennsylvania, Missouri Pacific, New
York Central Illinois Central and Chi
cago Great Western. They occurred on
. small volume of offerings which was
further evidence that the downward
trend was due primarily to conditions
within the market itself.
There were also some large declines
in other parts of the list, as In Texas
Co. S. which dropped points; Good
rich Is and Tobacco Products IS. both
of a point, and in Interborough Rapid
Transit IS and refunding SIS. American
& Foreign Power SIS, Armour & Co. 4i2s.
New Jersey Power &, Light 4l2s and
Third Avenue adjustments. There were
evidences of reduced demand in sew
eral of the high-grade public utilities
and first mortgage rails.
At the opening the German list was
strong, in spite Of the radical state
ments made by the German dictator at
the opening of the Reichstag. Later
some of these gains were pared down.
At the same time, weakness was shown
in French, British and italian dollar
loans. In contrast was the strength in
japanese municipals and power and
Light bonds.
The reaction in United States Treas
ury issues extended from as to 20 Of .
point and was largest in the 4L4s, 3a4s.
33ss and 3lss per cent loans. some Of
which have declined ~ points from
the high Of last week. 1t Is not i'm
probable that the reaction in this group
has been Influenced by the prepara-
tions being made for refunding, which
would include the issue OF a popular
loan at rate Of interest in excess Of
the return Of 3l4 per cent to 3i2 per
cent on the outstanding long-term
Treasury issues.
