Marie Dressler and Polly Moran

apparent in the fact that Polly Moran

1t all points to one thing: That, no

they like it even better.
And, speaking of teams, Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer is putting May Robson and
Ernestine Schumann- Heink together
In a film called Gram" It's the
story of two old ladies, one OF whom
(played by May Robson) is very rich
and terribly bored with life; while
the other, who will be Schumann-
Heink, is poor, but interesting.
Their life together, with obvious
angles that result from such combi-
nation, is good comedy and drama
combined in one. Kathleen Norris
wrote this story.
It's my bet that May Robson will
have to put up good fight to keep
the well-loved Schumann- -Heink from
stealing the film from her. That is,

him a screen test.

CoINCIDENT with the opening of
his fifth consecutive annual
teaching session at the Washington

lecture at the college last evening
which was first in series to deal
with matters pertinent to all phases

Mr.. Hughes elucidated the presen-

an Interpretation as an artistic whole
with consideration of characteristics
Of piano tone.
He cited results Of researches Of
scientific investigators in this field,
and stressed the need of an under
standing which makes it possible to
use all the latent resources of the
piano as a musical medium. Mr..
Hughes illustrations at the piano
conveyed an authoritative retirement
of style. which was convincing in its
technical polish and musical import.

weakly from face to face, he saw

very little excuse for the existence of NYA and
the continuation of the jobs it had made available

Five or six students at Central High responded,
but DR.. Garinger doubted that more than a couple
of them were eligible for donations under NYA's
rigid terms. "This," reasoned NYA to ITSELF twill
never do. No customers, no NYA We shall just

Accordingly, this was done and third call sound

should have been relief in May, 1885, was
changed, sensibly enough, so that it became suffi-
cient if an applicants family was on relief now.
And if even then the number of recipients of
NYA's benefactions remained under the quota
set-the word quota" is of NYA selection-why
in that case, anybody eligible as long as fed

WASHINGTON - Memories of

That's at least one lesson
emerging from recent discussion
and debate as to how we got into
that World War and whether the
chief reason was to save democ-
racy or the bankers or to serve
the British or the munitions
makers.
Certainly one of the most i'm
portant documents Of the war
bearing on that point was let
ter from Secretary of State Rob-
ert Lansing to President Wood
row Wilson, urging reversal of
the previous neutrality policy
stated by Secretary Bryan which
barred f1otation of war loans for
the Allies or Germany in this
country.
Lansing said he and Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo agreed
that if Americans didn't lend
money to "belligerents," Euro
pean nations (which meant only
the Allies) couldn't buy our
goods, which would mean depres-
sion over here. That was in Sen.
TENDER, 1915.
. BRYAN had put the administra.
ton on record formally as
holding such loans to be "incon.
sistent with the true spirit OF
neutrality"
Lansing pointed out that this
had become "a source of .embar.
rassment" and said he was seek
ing some way of "harmonizing''
it with the fotation of general
loans.
Wilson acquiesced. The great

NO DISCUSSION OPENED
None of the dcfaulting nations

Most of the foreign nations are

"Hoover moratorium" on war debt
payments started the nOn-payment

new debt settlement after the
