Student Council

The Student Council had its week
y meeting on Monday, February 8.
The first work done was that of ap-
pointing new monitors. The mont
.ors were as follows:
Hall, at noon-Genevieve Cecil,
Genevieve Foster, Clifton Brown and
Alfred Drew.
Locker Room, at noon-Lily Todd,
Pauline Long, Bobert Benjamin and
Harold Way.
Upper Hall, at noon-Charlotte
Giving and Alice Carr.
Hall, between classes-Catherine
Etter and Margaret Tyson.
Steps, at noon and evening dis
missal-Josephine Raglan, Ernest
SINNERS.
Locker rooms, during activity
period Mary Davis and Bruce Gray
Deal.
After the monitors were appointed
the Council began work on project
suggested by the principal. The
project was the making of list of
rules for entering students. 1t was
thought that this would be very
helpful to students just entering
school.

A u TOM BILE BUYING AND
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

That the automobile buying habits
of a nation can be changed, and that
the liberal and aggressive use of
newspaper advertising is one effec-
tive way of changing them, is evident
from the experience of the Chevrolet
Motor Company, according to w. E.
Holler, it's vice president and general
sales manager, who cited an array of
sales records dating back to the new
car announcement Nov. 2, 1885, by
way of proving his point.
Although Mr.. Holler's comment
was occasioned by the recent used
car selling achievements of Chevro-
let dealers, it applies with equal
force, he said, to their new car ac-
tivities. The early announcement of
new models, coupled with wide use
of advertising pointing to the ad-
vantages of early purchase, resulted
in the case of Chevrolet in complete
upset of the old order-a complete
reversal of the industry's experience
in the past, when November and De-
cember were two of the quietest
months of the entire year.
1.-THE Chevrolet Motor Company,
said Mr.. Holler, chad every reason
to believe that, economic conditions
being favorable, the public stands as
ready to buy in the fall as it does in
the spring.
elm preparing for it's early an
nouncement, Chevrolet banked on it's
ability, by means of advertising and
showings, to convince the buying
public of the benefits it would derive
by buying new cars in November and
December AS we pointed out, the
early buyer insures against cold
weather driving troubles, by Obtain
ing a mechanical unit that is new
throughout. Further, such an in
vestment is sound from the economic
standpoint, for the car bought in the
winter remains current model long
er than the car purchased in the
spring.
"That these considerations, and
availability of new models for Christ
mas gifts. appealed strongly to the
public is plain from the sales figures.
November's retail sales of new units
were 1885. and DEFENDERS were
SO,327. These combined with high
October figure to produce a fourth
quarter total of 207,140 units--the
greatest in the history of Chevrolet.
"However, the sharp gains in new
car and truck sales are only part
Of the story. The public's altered
buying habits are also apparent in
the used car end Of the business,

The commission believes 1t would

Private Interests May Take Task.
There is, of course, the possibility
that private interests might finance
the construction, but the commits
sion believes this unlikely.
It has also been pointed out that
great difficulty would be experienced
in subway construction here from ar
engineering standpoint, because the
streets are infested with mains and
conduits, the exact location of which
are not known in many cases. These
factors would have a tendency to IN.

Since then there has been no
great public outcry for further re-

ROME PRESS SEES
HAPSBURG RETURN
Young Fascist Organ Says
Austrian Rule in Hands
Apt to Err.
Wy the Associated Press.

ROME, May 25.--A plain spoken
forecast from the young Fascist press
today said Austria was in hands which
are apt to err, and declared the only
solution Is a return to the HapSburgs.
The statement came from Luigi Sa-
porto, former head of the young
Fascist organization, writing in Roma
Fascista, organ of the Fascist uni
versity students organization.
It was. perhaps, the most outspoken
such Italian press pronouncement
since the assassination of Austrias
volatile little chancellor, Engelbert
Dollfuss, by Nazis in July, 1884.
If, like most Italian editorials, 1t
rejected government opinion. the ar
ticle would seem to mean II Duce does
not place much confidence in the gov
eminent of Chancellor Kurt Schusch-
nigg.
Saporito said the Dollfuss regime
had fallen Into good hands" but
added: AT the bottom, very human
and apt to err"
Schuschnigg succeeded the slain
Dollfuss.
Dealing with the contrast between
Schuschnigg and Prince Ernst Won
Starhemberg, whom the Austrian
chancellor has outed from the gov
ernment, Saporito declared:
THE Heimwehrmen (members Of
Starhembergs private army cannot
be suppressed by force; first, because
momentarily the movement is armed; /;
second, because the ranks of those
wishing Austria to be independent
would be so weakened as to leave no
excessive hopes of the possibility Of
effectively opposing the pressure Of
elements seeking an internal break
up, and elements which are only
waiting to stir up trouble.
The Heimwehrmen cannot dissolve
themselves spontaneously, because in
their best circles there is truly great
idea lifting them up, and In their
worst circles there are men who
would not think twice before fight
ing, even with arms and against their
own chiefs, rather than be elected
with consequent loss of appreciable
material advantages.
"* Therefore, it is clear Vienna
cannot remain long without her King
especially now that she also has her
army. The true heir to Dollfuss can
be none but a monarch-only a
Hapsburg."
