State Capitol News
BY A. l. HARRIS

The State Department of Agricul-
ture, Dairy and Food, on Investigating
the C. c. c. camps, found that the
eggs given boys were not quite up to
snuff. Twelve arrests were made and
twelve convictions obtained.
There has been tendency on the
part of some brewers to minimize the
amount of barley in the manufacture
of beer, using rice as the principal
substitute. The special session of
the Legislature corrected this by pas
sing law requiring &C 2-3 per
cent barley content in all beer sold
in Minnesota. This was put through
as farm measure, but beer drinkers
add it will also improve the taste.
o. w. Behrens, St. Paul, director of
the transient relief program in Min
nesota, reports more than 700 home
less men are engaged in various pro-
jects in the nine work camps operat-
ing in the state. This number is
growing daily as registration centers
throughout the state continue to send
men to these camps. According to
Sam l.. Levitan, ST. Paul, superintend-
ent of registration, figures show that
attention of the new organization has
been directed to more than 900 tran
sients, $50 persons in the state home
less class, sand 1900 in the local
homeless category.
The opinion of the United States
Supreme court, by five to four de-
cisiOn, unfolding the Minnesota Mort
gage Moratorium law, shows that
even so-called constitutional guaran-
tees can be made to conform with the
advanced trend of social and eco
nomic thought. The liberal members
of the cOurt-those of reactiOnary
tendencies insisted that the law was
nconstitutional-hav set down the
precedent that the common welfare
of society as a whole, of all the peo-
pie. is the supreme law of the land
The point at issue between the lib
eral and reactionary members of the
court is identical with the issue of
human and of property rights recent

The presentation Of that breath

the trials and tribulations that 60
with editing an "agony" column

to the lot of this breezy popular
star. As Toby Prentiss, he dishes
out some of the coolest advice

plot to wiggle out of five-year

tested post to which he was de-
NOTED as q penalty for getting
drunk and missing the years prize
story by sleeping calmly through
an event OF no less cataclysmlc
proportions than a major earth

Toby's plot misses fire, however,
and his subsequent efforts to dodge
his trusting correspondents and
their irrate mothers particularly
one who emphasizes her indigna-
ton by welding horsewhip and
at the same time keep a weather
eye open for q way out OF his
loathsome job, make for a wealth
of highly diverting situations,
which often border on the melo-
dramatic and occasionally slip over
into the realm of stark tragedy.
Toby's troubles are aggravated
by the fact that his sweetheart
holds very definite and most I'M

Fourth Estate and refuses to marry
him until he accepts q job in her
fathers garage. 1t is not until he
gets himself involved with a VIC

The superb showmanship of Ce-
ell b., DeMille is once more made
manifest in his latest Paramount
picture, -Four Frightened People"
now playing at Warmers State
where 1t headlines deluxe double
feature bill.
This picture, which repeats the
success of his memorable male
and Female OF several years ago,
is one Of the most colorful pieces
of screen entertainment that it
has been our pleasure to see for
many a month.
Against a background of the
most amazing jungle scenery ever
brought to the screen, the story
details the adventures of four
highly cultured people, two women
and two men, who are forced to
escape from a Dutch steamer when
bubonic plague breaks out. Lost
turn to primitive manners and
habits. The transformation of a
prim little school teacher into a
beautiful jungle creature over
whom the men fight provides some
highly novel situations.
This latter role played by Clau-
dette Colbert Is the most outstand-
ing achievement of her career and
more than justifles her elevation
to stardom. Herbert Marshall and
william Gargan, in contrasting
roles, enhance the story with finely
drawn portrayals.
No funnier situation was ever de-
vised for the screen than the plac-
ing of the dignified Mary Boland
in primitive surroundings. This
splendid Coincidence made a tre-
mendous hit with last nights au-
dience. Leo GARLIC, in the role of
a half-caste guide, proves his YER

OF HARVARD HAS
OUTLINED PLAN
DR. James Bryant Conant
Changes Some Policies
of Predecessor

Cambridge, Mass, Jan 29-(UP)
The policies OF DR. James Bryant
Conant, as the youthful now pres
ident of the nations oldest univer-
sity, Harvard, will diverge In sew
eral important respects from those
of his 77-year-old predecessor. DR.
A. Lawrence Lowell, 1t was indicat-
ed today.
In his first annual report, DR.
Conant, who Ii 40 years old. advo-
Gated more adequate scholarships.
revsions in some branches Of the
tutorial system, and an open-door
policy for exceptional scholars as
a means Of attracting to Harvard
professors and students Of highest
calibre.
Harvard, he felt, should be open
to any man Of unusual talents
whether he be rich or penniless,
whether he come from Boston or
San Francisco
This is an ideal toward which
we must work. Today our fellow
ship and scholarship funds are woe
fully inadequate"
In q tribute to his predecessor,
DR. Conant stated that almost 20,-
900 men have been graduated from
Harvard during the presidency of
Mr. Lowell, and these alumni can
testify to then marvellous change
he wrough in the attitude of the
undergraduates toward scholar
ship"
Harvard cannot ignore the fact
that 1t is increasingly difficult. to
attract from other universities and
research Institutes the outstanding
men desired, DIR Cohant pointed
cut In discussing faculty problems.
Harvard must endeavor to
draw to it's staff the most able in
vestigators and teachers of the
world" he asserted. I'VE have to-
day faculty of which me may be
justly proud. 1 need not stress
The necessity of our having at Har-
ward great scholars and nivestigat-
ors. Our ultimate contribution to
society will depend on their schol-
arly output and their stimulating
teaching"
President Conant urged revision
of the colleges acknowledgements
policy. A larger number of the
scholarships should be given for
more than one year, he thought,
and q number of smaller scholar
ships should be combined to pro-
vide a greater percentage of more
substantial awards.

established by DIR Lowell. Presi.
dent Conant said:
I'm the college, tutorial work
