WO,OOO Fans See Pittsburgh Battle Stanford

r astern Grid Squad Rules Slight Favorite at Game Time. LINEUPS ARE GIVEN Fans Jam Rose Bowl for Classic. BY DAN CAMPBELL United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA. Cal., Jan. 2.—The old master and the pupil met here today In the annual New Year’s day classic for the mythical EastWest football championship between the undefeated University of Pittsburgh gridders and a smart Stanford eleven. The crafty “Pop” Warner was to renew an old feud with Jock Sutherland, the Pittsburgh mentor, who once look his lessons from the Stanford coach, before the largest assemblage of fans that has ever thronged the Rose Bowl. More than 80,000 were to witness the game. While neither team can lay claim to a perfect season, both have a record of impressive victories. This is especially true of Pittsburgh, whose only black mark is a tie with Washington and Jefferson. Pitt defeated West Virginia, Drake, Nebraska and Penn State by heavy scores and for the season piled up a total of 279 points to their opponents’ twenty. The Pittsburgh team, accepted as one of the strongest, if not the best , in the East, was a slight favorite at game time, although familiar climatic conditions which favor Stanford tended to bring the betting to even money.

More synthetic methods have been introduced into industry, thanks to chemical research, making it possible to manufacture rubber, leather, perfumes, flavoring, even petroleum from coal. in medicine, one of the greatest advancements has been the infection of persons subject to hitherto incurable general paresis with malaria germs, in order to check the worse disease. After infection, the malaria would be cured by anew drug called “plasmochin,” a quinine preparation more effective than the old jquinine prescription.

NEAand Times Survey Picks Year’s Best

OF the new novelists America has produced in the last few season we believe the most important to be Julia Peterkin, Eliza-

beth Madox Roberts, Glen wa y Westcott, Thornton Wilder. Ernest Hemingway, and Marie de la Roche. Westcott’s “The G r a ndmothers,” and Miss Roberts’ “My Heart and Flesh,” compete strongly for first place among the novels of 1927. Certainly young Westcott wrote a

Mrs. Peterkin

fine story and so did Miss Roberts, though we cling to her first work, “The Time of Man,” as being one of the contemporary classics. The general selection seems to favor one or the other of these two books. But, with no intent to start any arguments, our own taste leans toward Mrs. Peterkin’s "Black April.” This southern woman started with those fine darkey stories, ’’Green Thursdays.” Her “Black April” is a particularly excellent novel of Negro life. She can write, and one of these days every one will find it out. Hemingway, perhaps, should not be listed with newcomers. He had already been known for his short stories before “Men Without Women” appeared, just as Louis Bromfield, author of “The Good Woman,” had been shouted over before. The name of Thornton Wilder is perhaps the least known in the collection of newcomers. Wilder created attention through abilities revealed in “Cabala.” This year he made a real contribution to contemporary literature with “The Bridge of San Luis Rey.” We hear that in London the ever zestful Arnold Bennett tossed his hat in the air and said something about this book being the finest in a generation, or something like that We don’t care to go quite that far. Wilder is a splendid artist of whom a great deal will be heard. n a TWO 1927 volumes which gave us more real enjoyment than anything from the fiction mills were “Trader Horn” and Colonel Lawrence’s amazing record, “Revolt in the Desert.” Carl Sandburg was responsible for a collection, “The American Songbag,” which has in it everything we like to sing. And then “George Bellows: His Lithographs” is our idea of something meriting the overused word “magnificent.” It has in it biographical sketch by Thomas Beer, who is quite our finest biographer.

BOND PACT FORMED State in Agreement With Others on Securities. By WALLACE WEATIIERHOLT Indiana Securities Commissioner During the past year an agreement was negotiated between the securities commissioners of the various State and ten of the leading mortgage bond houses of the country. The committee from the securities commissioners was headed by David H. Jennings, who at the time these negotiations were in progress was commissioner for Indiana. Asa result of their deliberations a uniform code of ethics for the conduct of the real estate mortgage bond business was agreed on. During the past fiscal year the commission had presented to its securities totalling $389,485,376.48, the largest amount by far ever considered in the securities department. Securities approved consisted of $354,311,700 in bonds and $32,710,076.48 in stocks both common and preferred. The total of .securities rejected was $2,463,600 largely stock. The receipts of the department for the year were $38,340.55 as against disbursements of $21,431.36 leaving a net income for the State of $16,909.19. 97, Runs Away From Home NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—At the age of 97, believing herself disliked, Mrs. Jacobominia Muro ran away from her son’s home.

O’Erien saves us each year the trouble of picking out the best short stories. He reads all the magazines and tells what was what in his annual “Best Short Stories of 19—.” Os interest in connection with his selections for 1927 is the in-

elusion of a tale, “Minstrels of the Mist,” by Ben Luclen Burman. Burman is the author of some popular newspaper serials, including “Jungle Breath’ and “The Parrot Lady.” His particular short story meter is the relating of atmospheric tales of the Mississippi river folk.

Ben Burman

Burman tried for two years before he could crash the magazines with writings of which he felt personally proud. It was almost that long after he had written it that he saw in printin the Pictorial Review—the story O'Brien selected as one of 1927’s most alluring.

DISASTERS TAKE HUGE TOLL IN LAST YEAR Floods, Tornadoes, Quakes Spread Havoc Over Earth. Bit YU4 Xcr 'lrr. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—An almost ! unprecedented outburst of floods, earthquakes and tornadoes brought unusual losses in life and property in 1927. The Mississippi flood lasted more than two months, covered 18,000 square miles, put 250,000 out of their homes and caused damage valued at $250,000,000. The New England flood early in November killed almost 150 persons and caused more millions of damage. Tornadoes of severe intensity tore over the Middle West, along the Atlantic and gulf coasts and hit Germany and Japan. Earthquakes caused losses of thousands of lives in China. Japan and Palestine, besides destroying valuable property and obliterating many towns. Radio Causes Suicide Effort NEWARK, N.

EUROPE IS ON FIRM FOOTING AS YEAR ENDS Recovering Economically; Wars Are Brewing in Many Places. BY ED L. KEEN General European Manager United Press LONDON, Jan. 2.—Europe again struggled hard, and with some degree of success, during 1927, to pry itself out of the mire left in the trail of the great, war. Its efforts might have been more fruitful if in some instances it had relied upon more substantial leverage than its own boot straps. Economically slow, but for the most part encouraging progress has been made. Industry, Commerce Gained In the realms of industry, commerce and finance, nearly all Euro- I peon countries are better off today j than they were twelve months ago.! England is undoubtedly recovering from the very serious setback resulting from the general strike and the coal strike of 1926. Germany, although still heavily handicaped by an adverse trade balance and the onerous requirements of the Dawes Plan, is setting herself, with characteristic Teutonic industry, to the problem of complete rehabilitation—meantime carefully advised, and occassionally admonished, by Parker Gilbert, reparations agent. France Is Prospering France, with her currency unofficially stabilized for nearly a year, and under the conservative guidance of Premier Poincare, looks forward to the coming year in more cheerful mood than at any time since 1918. Regardless of what he may have done to democracy as we know it in the United States. Premier Mussolini undeniably has been successful in improving the economic condition of Italy. Politically the sky is not so clear. Above the horizon here and there are ominous clouds. Although for the first time sines 1918 Europe has no regular war on its hands—Spain, with the assistance of P’rance, havinfi finished off the last remnants of the Riff rebellion six months ago —statesmen are viewing potential

danger pots with anxious eye; the western frontiers of Russia, Poland and Germany, Italy and Jugoslavia, the Balkans generally, not to mention China, India and Egypt. Troubles are Brewing Among other portents are: the failure of the Anglo-American-Japanese naval conference at Geneva; the i-evolt of the smaller nations at the last League assembly against what they characterized a return to pre-war method of diplomacy, the “balance of power,” etc.; the definite rejection by Great Britain of the socalled “Geneva Protocol,” which would have applied the principles of the Locarno Pact to Europe’s eastern frontiers; the breaking off of diplomatic re-, lations between Great Britain and J Russia; Italy’s resentment toward the recent Franco-Serbian alliance; and the undoubted growth in other quarters of international jealousies and suspicions as well as nationalistics aspirations. Two of the most important political events of the year occurred in Russia and Italy, where the two great modern developments in government are still in the experimental stage, although the one has been going on for a decade and the other for five years. Internal turmoils in Russia, growing out of the new economic policy, resulted in the expulsion from the Communist party of Trotzky, Zinovieff and other “Bull Mooses” who at one time were in high power. Friendly to America At the moment Stalin and his immediate associates seem to be as firmly in control of the Soviet government as Mussolini is in Italy. Europe generally has been more genial toward America and Americans in the past year than previously—barring an occasional spasm of petulance. There has been a marked diminution of resentment on the debt question, not only in England, but also in France, in recent months, as America's viewpoint has come to be better understood. Lindbergh Helped The Sacco-Vanzetti demonstrations, which w*ere rather wide spread throughout Europe, were largely proCommunist, rather than anti-Amer-ican, in character. Undoubtedly, the spectacular aerial visit of “Ambassador” Lindbergh to France and the subsequent meeting of the America Legionnaires in Paris and their journeys in various European countries contributed materially toward producing the more friendly attitude toward the United States.
