It Seems to Me HEVM BROUN IN many colleges and schools of the country there have bern recent riots and mass mectines. These are healthy symptoms. To be sure, there always have been occasional riots m American colour thev used to be concerned With such problems as whether or not the freshmen should wear raps or the police be permitted to temper the exuberance following a football victory. And when such things happened the press, the public and the faculty were all very indulgent. Every body said 'Bovs will be ooys." Somebody got up a purse to buy the cop anew uniform and the collegiate ringleaders had to get up at 9 in the morning to receive a mild rebuke from the dean. And as like as not the dean remarked that he used to be a boy once himself But now the boys grow older and the deans grow colder. Student demonstrations no longer are con-

cemed with freshmen caps or football victories. Men in college are beginning to take an acute and personal interest in free speech, compulsory military training, and the threat of Fascism. Arid, curiously enough, educational leaders meet this rennaisance with the attitude that it is better to fiddle than to fight fires. a a a Keep It Trivial, Hops THE undergraduate who ’used to chalk upon the chapel wall the score of the football victory never drew more than a reprimand

for his prank, but just let him write. “Fight war and Fascism ' and in scores of colleges he Will find himself liable to expulsion. In other words the official attitude seems to be that if students want to raise a row they must pick something trivial as the subject of their demonstration. The halls of learning are forced into the extraordinary position of maintaining that immaturity is a student's most priceless possession. One college president even goes to the length of carrying an umbrella in order to chastise such of his scholars who have sense enough to rush in when it rains. The College of the City of New York has been conspicuous in the effort of the faculty to restrain all but reactionary opinion. Great blocs of students have been expelled for daring to indicate a disbelief in Fascism or an opposition to war. The college which is supported by the municipal funds of a metropolis has undertaken o limit the mental scope of r> < hoUu to the economic philosophy of a California Republican. Charlie Butterworth, just back from the coast, informs me that at least one billboard in the recent election carried the slogan, “A vote for Mrrriani is a vote for God.” Here in New York some if those who write letters to the editors of papers take the attitude that students should conform in every college where tuition is free. a a a Education Seeds Agitation these students know.” writes Mr. RheinL/ hart, “that the taxpayers have to pay and pay plenty for their education, and that they are in a free college to be educated, not to agitate. They should get on their knees and thank God lor the privilege of living in a country where such a free education is possible.” But as another taxpayer I object most violently to the form of education which Mr. Rheinhart favors. Asa matter of fact “fiee” and “without cost” are by no means synonyms. No college has the right to be called free if it rigorously suppresses ail progressive student opinion on current questions. The taxpayer himself has every right to be represented m the administration of a municipal college. He will want to know for what state in life tne young men are being prepared. I am a taxpayer who does not want to give a penny unless the right of agitation is preserved and fostered. What will it profit any of us if the graduate* of C. C. N. Y. are to come out into city and world affairs as just so many more sheep ready to obey the voice of any bully who happens to be in authority. Are they to be turned over to the ward heelers and and district leaders as so many more pliant followers ready to swell the regular organization vote? Must they click heels at the word of any kind of recruiting sergeant? I part with my money grudsinglv. I have no desire to invest in the manufacture of moronic mutton. In fact it seems to me that without agitation there is no such thing as education. • Copyright. 1934. bv The Times)

ONE ot the.-** days it may be possible to jump into ■ your automobile in northern Canada and ride to Cape Horn at the tip of South America. The dream of an inter-continental highway is approaching reality. One section of it. the so-called Inter-American highway, connecting the southern boundary of the United States with the Panama Canal Zone, is termed technically feasible m a report, just issued by the Bureau of Public Roads of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. This highway would be 3,250 nnles long. One terminus would be in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, just across the Rio Grande from Laredo. Tex. The other terminus would be in Panama City in the Republic of Panama. The road would pass through busy cities and native villages, skirting tropical jungles and volcanic peaks. Asa matter of fact about 40 per cent of the 3.250 mile route is now in use the year around and an additional 27 per cent is usable in dry weather. The task, therefore, is one of modernizing existing road* and connecting them together into one superhighway. a a a MEXICO is already doing a large share of the work, the United States scientists report. The last section of a road spanning the 760 miles between Nuevo Laredo and Mexico City is now' being completed. This road will be suitable for use in all sorts of weather. At the other end of the route, it is possible in dry weather to cover the 340 miles between Panama City and Concepcion, a few miles from the Costa Rican border, with ease. There us also an excellent road for use in dry weather through Honduras. El Salvador and Guatemala. American engineers, working with the co-opera-tion of the officials of the countries involved, have mapped out the route of the Inter-American highway. Aerial photography was employed to locate the best routes. An estimate has been made of'the cost to complete the road through Guatemala. El Salvador. Honduras. Nicaragua. Costa Rica and Panama. If local materials were used, it would cost about 530.000.000. A cement concrete surface. 20 feet wide, would cost $101,000,000. a a a I'' HE proposed highway will follow the Continental . Divide at elevations ranging from 1.300 to 4.000 feet. It will touch every capital from Mexico City to Panama with the exception of one. Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. A spur line however, will connect with this. It has been estimated that the new route would run through provinces which contain 54 per cent of the 6 000 000 population of the Central American republics and Panama. The United States engineers report that this highway -would probably do more to create cordial relatons and brisk exchange, not only between the peoples of Central America and Mexico and the United States, but also among the Central American and Mexican inhabitants themselves, than all the dipiomaev and "good will - ’ visits that ever could be vised.Questions and Answers Q—What was the percentage of mcrease in passenger motor cars made in the United States and Canada in 1933 over 1932? A— The 1932 total was 1.186.209 and the 1933 total was 1,685,000, mi 'ocrease of 43 per cent.

A REAL PRINCE—THAT’S GEORGE Slim Greek Princess Lures Wales’ ‘Pal’ From His Bachelorhood

The' if bern railed “the royal bachelor twin* of England.” Bat now tall, handtomr Prince George leaves his elder brother, the Prince of Wales, alone In the unmarried state, and takes as his bride comely Princess Marina of Greece. . , Milton Bronner, distinguished European correspondent for NEA Service, has followed the activities of British rovalty perhaps more rloselv than anv other American newspaper writer. In the following article he gives an intensely human word picture of the Duke of Kent whose wedding tomorrow will be a scene for rejoicing throughout the British Empire. a a a BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent lONDON, Nov. 28 —Prince George of England long has walked in the 4 shadow of his glamorous brother, Edward of Wales. And now he emerges with a rush—to the prominence of a lovematch marriage with Princess Marina of Greece; and to the attainment of his noble estate as duke of Kent, earl of St. Andrews and baron Downpatrick. He has had titles before, but none that would seat him in the house of lords. For a decade Mayfair society has known him as “P. G.” Intimates—especially his three elder brothers —have called him “Babe.” The navy remembers him as Lieutenant Windsor. In South Africa he has been named Ngangedlova, which means "Hail. Mighty Elephant!'' Another of George's titles, incidentally, is Charleston Champion of Cannes. That was won in 1927. Only recently did his king-father give him a dukedom, and the reason for the delay has been freely rumored. It seems that the tall, handsome and personable prince wanted to lead his own life. He wanted to lead his own life because he considers himself hopelessly outside the line of succession to the throne. First there’s the prince of Wales. Then the duke 6f York and his two young daughters. Next the duke of Gloucester. And finally Prince George. Probably the example of his eldest brother, who’s first in the line of succession had something to do with George's carefree spirit. They’ve been splendid pals ever since the |

younger prince's retirement from the navy. They’ve traveled and hunted together, skimmed the skies; motored and gone on hot-cha parties together. For years they have shared the same quarters, the same friends, and identical opinions. They’U: even been reported engaged to the same girls. tt tt tt TJRINCE GEORGE accompanied Wales to the United States and to the Calgary ranch. They hunted big game in East Africa, and served as the empire's contact men in South America. The brothers have co-operated in setting masculine styles, and have set feminine hearts aflutter wherever they've appeared. It was George who broke the law by wearing only a pair of shorts as he basked on the beach. The senoritas of Chile preferred him as a? dancing partner. He was the first to wear a sweater instead of a vest, and at swanky Cannes he appeared at gala affairs in open-necked shirts. There always has been mischief in his makeup. Asa little boy he disrupted his father's solemn coronation ceremony by tickling his dignified sister, Princess Mary. He giggled, squirmed, slid from a leather cushion and hit the floor. The horrified little princess leaned over to pick him up—and off rolled her coronet. Finally Edward rescued them both and whispered a threat to George that he'd get a sock in the nose if he didn't behave. a a a A FEW years later George was a student in St. Peters Preparatory school at Broadstairs, near the mouth of thg Thames. Not an envied princeling, though.

-The DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Unquestionably the biggest problem worrying those now planning the reconstruction of the Republican party is the future fate of its nominal leader, Herbert Hoover. Among all, but a few of the stalwarts once close to Hoover, it is agreed that if the party is to come back he and all his associates must step out of control. New blood, new leaders, new standards must be injected into the party, it is argued. The disastrous label of the depression must be forgotten.

Mr. Hoover, however, does not go along with this. He has been on one or two private political scouting expeditions in the west. He ignored political advice not to publish his book and "Saturday Evening Post" articles. Some of his former supporters think he will continue to ignore advice. One of these is the sagacious ex-Vice President, Charley Curtis. Charley tells a hitherto unknown story of the advice he gave Hoover just before he retired in March, 1933. "I could see the split in the party coming,” explains Charley, "and I said to the President: The only way to save the party is for you to get out of the picture.’ "Well, he seemed to agree all right. But a few days after that, he called in the leaders of the party, all the big boys except me. I wasn't invited. And after that conference he had the notion the party needed him as leader. "And there's where the trouble lies today. That, and the fact that we didn't start soon enough in this campaign. But it’s mostly Hoover. He couldn’t keep himself out of the picture.” a a a IN the vocabulary of farm-born Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture, are such words as erudition, empirical, geneticist, chromosome, alemone and Mendelian allemorphs—all culled fiom a single address. In his book. "New Frontiers.” when he refers to cave dwellers he calls them "troglidytes.” But Arthur Goldschmidt ran into the toughest word in the FERA offices recently. The dynamic young director of professional relief projects had asked for suggestions on how to put unemployed writers to work. A colleague said: "Let ’em write iconographies.” Goldschmidt stalled. "Sounds good." he said, "but. ub . . just what are iconographies?” It was the other man's turn to stall. He wasn't quite sure, himself. "Something about pictorial records of the passing scene.” mam ttINGFISH HUEY LONG is IV planning to widen the realm of his dictatorship beyond Louisiana. And this fact has sent a cold chill down the spines of two senatorial colleagues—Mississippi's Pat Harrison and Joe RobinSbn. Arkansas' Democratic floor leader. These two ftUud veterans stand

because his royal mother had limited his spending money to a mere four shillings a w’eek. Most of the other boys had an allowance of fifteen or twenty shillings. So George bfgan selling autographs—his own, for a shilling each. When the market was glutted he dug out a letter of his father’s. That brought a whole pound. Also a stern warning from Buckingham Palace. Vacationing in Cornwall, he received a request from Princess Mary for some of the flowers which she had heard were plentiful on the English Riviera. A few days later a large box arrived at the palace. It contained several of Cornwall’s choicest cauliflower. During his adolescence there was a dreadfully serious interval in which he considered entering the church. It was explained, though, that the princes of reigning houses just didn't become clergymen. So Prince George went into the navy. That was his school. He didn’t wander between army, navy and universities, as had Wales. First came a full course at the Naval college, then a seagoing term as cadet and midshipman. And finally a regular tour of duty as a lieutenant on duty in the China seas. He was a popular officer, and had done his share of scrapping on each ship, giving as much as he received. And among the things he received were a broken tooth, a broken thumb and two black eyes. a a a IIEUTENANT WINDSOR bej came so proficient in French that in 1927 he qualified as an interpreter in French, thereby adding 28 cents a day to his income. That made little difference,

in the path of Huey's ambition, and he has put them on his "list.” The senatorial terms of Pat and Joe expire two years hence. So does Huey’s. All three men come from the deep south, where nomination is equivalent to election. Therefore, if Huey is to "get” Pat and Joe he must get them in the primary. * And with a primary on his own hands in Louisiana he wouldn't be free to wage war in the neighboring states of Mississippi and Arkansas. So Huey pulled a neat turn with his subservient legislature. He had it pass a law moving the Louisiana senatorial primary date up to January. Thus in 1936, he will be finished tith his own campaigning early in the year, will then be at liberty to turn his talents wherever his fancy and personal animus may prompt. That turn is expected to be toward the senators from Mississippi and Arkansas. iCoovrleht 1934. t>v United Feature Syndicate.

however, because, by an act of parliament in 1910 all four of the royal brothers had been granted an annuity of 10,000 pounds a year, effective as they attained their majority, with an additional 5,000 pounds when they married. With such an income, the young officer was afforded so much fun that in 1928 King George was contrained to order him to shun society and live the life of an ordinary naval officer. Shortly before that he had visited Hollywood, and had planned to fly to location with a party of actresses. News of the expedition brought another royal cablegram expressly forbidding shore leaves. Prince George liked the sea, but nature blighted bis career. In rough weather he always became seasick. And so, on the advice of physicians, he retired.

EMBRYO ‘JESSE JAMES’ GETS SSOO FINE, 180 DAYS ON STATE FARM

Following the footsteps of the notorious Jesse James leads to no good end, How-ard Rattager, 29, of 1129 River avenue, had decided today after being fined SSOO and costs and sentenced to 180 days on the state farm on a charge of assault and battery before Municipal Judge Dewey Myers. Witnesses testified that Rattager, after leaving a drinking party, armed himself with an ax and set forth to call upon neighbors. As he made his rounds he shouted to the world that he was Jesse James, according to testimony. When the would-be Jesse came upon Carl Couchman, 55, ®f 1127 River avenue, he struck him on the side of the face inflicting what Judge Myers described as the "most horrible bruise” he had seen during his term on the bench.

the younger prince, dislocating his shoulder, Wales mounted the nag and disciplined it. George’s name, as his brother’s has been, constantly was linked by gossips with those of various eligible girls. But the princes never became involved in feminine entanglements. When social life palled they’d be off on a long, trip, but not until last spring did George actually replace Edward as “ambassador to the empire” by going alone on a 17,000-mile “grand tour” to Africa and Australia. It was he, too, who recently represented the United Kingdom at the funeral of Yugoslavia’s murdered king. Intelligent;, well-informed, and immensely popular, Prince George, now the duke of Kent, has been mentioned as a possible governorgeneral of Canada, or perhaps of South Africa. His career is before him.

Fair Enough mwn THERE may have been other reasons why the jury acquitted Samuel Insull and his supporting cast of sixteen crying co-defendants, but the defense outwept the prosecution and that, after all, is tne best proof of their innocence. From old Mr. Insull. himself, down through the entire troupe to the merest extra weeper, the sniffing and sobbing by the defensive side was the best performance of mass crying that has been performed in an American courtroom in twenty years. The

stage direction of Floyd Thompson, counsel for Mr. Insull, was a masterpiece which should be preserved in the law books for young lawyers to study and it also should be remembered that he did not ask the defendants to do anything which he could not do himself. Mr. Thompson, accordingly broke into racking sobs on his own account at one point in the trial and cried as though his heart would break. Asa rule, this costs extra, but Mr. Insu’.i, himself, told your correspondent In Chicago a few weeks ago that he was just a poor old man

without the price of cab fares from his hotel to th* Federal building. Therefore it would seem that Mr. Thompson did his weeping out of pure love for his art. This may cause some resentment among his fellow members of the bar in Chicago and possibly they can get the NR A after him for unethical competition. a a a Tears —At a Price THE standard price for weeping on the part of an attorney in a case of such importance is quite high Certain attorneys have been suspected of giving rebates now and again, but as usual thing a respectable member of the learned and noble profession of the law will not even blink his eyes and swallow his adam’s apple for less than SI,OOO a performance. For drawing out a handkerchief and dabbing at the eyes, the price is $1,500 and blowing the nose is charged for extra at the rate of SIOO a honk. Finally, for breaking down completely, slumping weakly into a chair and sipping glass of water, completely overcome by emotion, the accepted price is SIO,OOO a day if the attorney wins his case. $5,000 if he loses and $7,500 for a hung jury or other mistrial. _ The prosecution, on the other hand, conducted a drab case. The prosecuting attorneys never shed a tear from start to finish of the long hearing and, what was worse, they bored the jury by reading long legal documents out loud. The only glimmer of real legal talent evidenced by the prosecuting attorneys was seen when they brought the blackboard into the room and showed the twelve good men and true some pictures of rainbows. Standing there with his long pointer, explaining the evidence in the manner of a German comedian, Mr. Green might have panicked the jury and swept the case if he had only had the humor to start singing, “Ist Das Ni'cht Ein Doodle-Sack? Jah, Das Ist Ein Doodle-Sack.” a a a He Missed the Cue BUT he missed the cue entirely and when one ol the impoverished widows who lost her all in Insull promotions got up to sob for the prosecution she wept up in her lines and business and started yelling, “robber.” instead. Naturally, this was a very bad break for the prosecution. It tended to crea.,s and prejudicial atmospnere in the courtroom, contrary to the calm spirit of justice and fairplay which should prevail to protect the rights of the defendants. So they had to toss Mr. Green’s weeping widow out of the courtroom. On the other hand, the wives of the defendants conducted themselves perfectly throughout. Mrs. Insull was conspicuously present most of the time, giving an impressive display of wholesome, mamma-love-papa devotion, and the wife of Mr. Field brought her knitting and played a folksey role. The women members of the defense cast were very effective and deserve great praise. Although old Mr. Insull was too broke to ride to the courtroom in a cab and therefore went to and from by 10-cent bus, it develops that he still owns a home in England. With his nucleus he should be able to do marvels of rehabilitation. After all, Mr. Insull is a financial wizard who can do his marvels on very little. Any man who could charter an ocean steamship complete with crew, fuel and rations, on a pocket allowance of $lB a week from his son, as he did is not licked as long as he owns a home in England. There are still some indictments pending against Mr. Insull so this utter destitution will have to be dragged out a little longer. However, it should not be long now until he can bade the chauffeur come out from his hiding place behind the door and drive the family limousine around in front of his modest hotel to take him home again.

FIFTEEN per cent of persons after reaching middle age develop blood pressure higher than the average, and which is said to cause 25 per cent of all deaths of persons past the age of 50. It is one of the most common and serious conditions which doctors are asked to treat. The normal blood pressure of adults ranges from 20 to 140 millimeters of mercury. What is called diastolic pressure ranges from seventy to ninety millimeters of mercury. The higher of the two figures represents the pressure in the blood vessels immediately after the heart has contracted. The lower pressure is a measure of the resistance of the smaller blood vessels to the passage of blood through them. Some types of high blood pressure are known to be caused by certain definite conditions. Certain forms of heart disease, exophthalmic goiter, tumors of the adrenal glands, and certain types of inflammation of the kidney are definitely known to be associated with high blood pressure. 808 IN other forms of high blood pressure, the causes can not be determined, but it is known that these cases may be associated with changes such as occur in hardening of the arteries and in preliminary forms of chronic kidney diseases. Many physicians believe that blood pressure of moderate height after middie age represents a safety valve for the kind of body that person has and that it may be dangerous to lower it too greatly. Many persons have fairly high blood pressures without developing any symptoms of a disturbing character. When there are changes in the heart, blood vessels, or kidneys, and when the rise in blood pressure takes place rapidly, this outlook is not so good as in those persons whose blood pressure gets higher gradually over a longer period of time. b b a PERSONS with high blood pressure should not develop severe anxiety over the condition. The wise course is to get advice from the doctor who understands the case and to follow the outline of living he will suggest. There is much less strain on the blood pressure when there is plenty of rest in bed, indeed when there is plenty of rest and freedom from worry altogether. There are few. if any, diets which can be said to be especially important in controlling high blood pressure. It is known, however, that overweight is bad for persons with this condition. They should also learn to avoid foods which give them trouble alter they are eaten.
