cooked their hats at the right

The calling in of Ambassador Bow
ers is regarded as only one of several
efforts to be made by the admins
tration to mobilize the best pens and
voices in the Democratic party in
preparation for the campaign. A
scarcity Of first-class campaign speak
ers in the administration Is compelling
the party managers to reach out for
Governors, Senators, Ambassadors and
all others who can speak effectively.
1928 Convention Speaker.
The possibility was suggested to-
day that Ambassador Bowers would
be asked to make one Of the principal
addresses at the Democratic National
Convention. He made the keynote
speech at the 1928 convention in
Houston, at which Alfred Z. Smith
was nominated. In view Of his alb
sence from the country during most
OF the last three years, it was
thought unlikely that he would be
asked to make the keynote address
at the convention this year. How
ever, as a specialist in Jefferson and
jackson, Ambassador Bowers, it was
thought, might be of service to Mr..
Roosevelt in preparing material for
the campaign as well as In making
his own speeches.

. new Spring silhouette today.
The fiery-eyed monster. which ex-
hales smoke by the aid Of steampipes
in the opera "Siegfried," was made
rs pounds simmer on the plea of
sctage hands who complained he was
hot inside"
The two men, who have to climb in
and serve as the dragons underpin-
nings when he slithers into the opera,
asked to have Fafner's interior equip
ped with an electric fan.
Philip Crispano, property manager
at the Met" thought that would give
the stage hands cold, because of
proximity to Fafner's internal steam
pipes. He compromised by slicing
away some stufing.
There's only one thing wrong now"
said Crispano. This dragon is too
good looking"

TO GET
GROUND TRAINING
80 Will Be Brought to Wash
ington to Observe Gov
ernn1ent Operations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The top hat and tails of the diplo-
mat have lost their appeal to the am
bitions Of the modern college grad
uate.
Instead, they want to learn about
foreign trade, the relations Of govern
ment to business, social security and
lobbying nowadays.
Otis T. Wingo, jr., executive secre-
tary Of the National Institute of Pub
lie Affairs. said yesterday this was one
discovery the institute had made in
shaping up the program by which 1t
will give 80 college graduates nine
months training in governmental az
fairs.
Wingo pointed out that there was q
definite connection between the am
bilious leanings Of college men and
the phases of American life that were
given public emphasis. The Attorney
Generals crime conference pointed
many of them toward law enforcement
and crime treatment studies.
The 80 who will be brought to WASH
ington next September will be given
nine months of watching governmental
problems handled from the inside.
Public Affairs Interest.
The idea back of the plan is that 1t
will interest highly trained young per-
sons in public affairs and help to de-
velop higher standards and career OPP
portunities in Government adminstra-
ton. A general development OF inter-
est in public affairs and efficient ad-
ministration of the Nations business
Is one of the chief aims.
But so far it hasn't worked out just
that way. Two groups Of 40 college
students spent three months last year
working in the same way. Eighty per
cent of them wound up with Govern
ment Jobs. There was no particular
objection to that, but the institute did
not intend to have this special knowl-
edge of governmental affairs confined
to washington.
The present plan Of having grad
yates for the course was evolved out
of previous trials. Undergraduates
were tried before. But the institute
has decided that those given the
course should be more mature. A
college degree will be q requisite.
The institute calls the course an
'interneship." Something Of what the
course comprises is covered by the
experience of the one "interne" 1t has
in Washington now.
Dollar-a-Year Assistant.
Before coming here, he had degree
from an Eastern university, plus q
Summer in Europe. He went into
the Office Of the head Of one Of the
most important Government agencies
as an assistant on a dollar-a-year
basis.
During the past several months,
while the agency was working out
important policies. he was allowed to
familiarize himself with the problems
Of the Office and frequently acted as
q representative for his superior in
various meetings.
He held the post and performed the
work without the disclosure to the
other workers In the ofice that he
was student, He adhered to the
same hours and the same regulations
as did the other workers.
The man with whom he is working
wants him to continue in his present
capacity after the period of his
"interneship, the only difference being
that he would be paid. But the
student has declined.
I'm going back to ----- for
another year Of post graduate work."
he said.
