FEBRUARY 21, 1929 Oregon And The Emerald Welcome State Editors NUMBER 82 The > WORLD In Review Writ' Itill Rough on 4Alky" Peddlers; British Ash For Parley on Navies - By ARTHUR SCHOENI - Making America unsafe Tor boot leggers was the reason for the United States senate passing a bill this week which would give more severe punishment, to “alky” ped dlers. The salons voted by 0." to IS to increase maximum penalties under tlie Volstead act. to five years im prisonment and a fine of $10,000. Not against the hip-pocket ven dor, but the rich bootlegger who escapes with light fines and brief terms is the intention of the bill sponsored by Washington’s .Tones. The bill did not affect minimum penalties, bill raises the maximum, which heretofore has rested at $1000 or six months for first of fenders and $2000 and five years for recidivists. * * * With his official renunciation of the presidential job coming on March 4, Calvin f'oolidge is scan ning the horizons for another job. His latest offer was to write ntbvspaper syndicate articles. News paper stories have him contemplat ing many jobs from executive posi tions on large corporations to col lege presidencies. But a Coolidge shake of Ihe head has dismissed all as rumors. Now that the United States has passed the bill to build 15 cruisers, Great Britain wants a naval parley. Sir Fsmo Howard, the British ambassador, said bis country was waiting to see whether or not the cruiser bill passed before laying some of its cards on the maritime . table. Comes now Secretary of State Kellogg to say that the American attitude was always favorable to ward further limitation of arms. ^ The United States in 19.11 may call a “scrapping” conference to talk over disarmament with the rest of the powers. From over in the land of the set ting snn comes the information that Japan is welcoming the step to re duce armaments. Relief 1ms romp at last, to Euro pean countries struck by tho rocont pobl wavo ■which brought with it suffering, floods and death. The destruction of crops and lives spread all over the continent, from Greece to Germany and from Eng land to Russia. Out, of tho darkness eame one gleam of light. Coal production prospects brightened up in "Wales and thousands of destitute miners went back to work after months of unemployment. * * Everyone wonts a slice of flip C.er man reparations “melon,” and no one will countenance dividing liis slice with someone else. And there the reparations conference at Paris rests. * Germany made it. plain she could not keep up the high payments and that it was up to her creditors to cut, down on the amounts they ex pect to receive. The Rhineland delegates have set forth the financial status of their country and now expect the experts to decide how much the Reich can pay and fix the annuities accord lllglv. * * * Oregon’s and California’s gas war has drawn federal attention and authorities in the department of justice at Washington have al ready started a preliminary investi gation into the prices. Latest re ports from Portland say gas was selling at 17V-J cents a gallon. Independent gas harons claim the “big hoys” are in a conspiracy with each other to eliminate them from competition. * * * Leon Trotsky, the will-o’-the-wisp ^ of Russia, finally appeared in the harem citv, Constantinople, after the world had begun to wonder what had become of him since lie fled his exile in southern Russia. The bearded bludgeoner of the Soviet excited Turkish authorities by his arrival. Steps were taken to make more stringent passport regu lations so that Trotsky could not rally any of his Communist allies around him and start brewing more war malt. * * * “How can we expect to put on a world’s exposition in 1933 that amounts to anything in the eyes of the world with this sort of thing going on?” asked a Chicago politi cian following the brutal murder of seven gangsters who were lined up (Continued on Toge Tiro) Mayor Baker Speaks Today At Assembly Portland’s Chief Termed Third Best Known City Head in United States ‘Citizenship’ to Be Title Of Patriotic Address Band and Oreliestra Will Alternate in Programs Mayor George L.

Interest In Press Conferencem Grows Rapidly With Each Annual Meeting Representative Group t>f Oregon Journalists Are Gathered to Diseuss Pros and Cons of Work By CARL GREGORY Among tlio veteran newspaper men wlm are in attendance today on (lie campus at the eleventh annual press conference, there are undoubt- ! edly some who have a dim remem- j hranee of the first session that was held hack in IStlt). Not so long ago,! however, but there has been a Ire- ! inendous change in the interven-j ing years! With an attendance of £0 journal- i ists the first press conference was; held in the east half of the pres ent dispensary. At the eleventh meeting of the same group the pro ! erodings this year will be held with in the confines of the journalism j building with approximately IfiO j newspaper men attending the g.ath- j ering. The growth has been in al most exact proportion to the in crease in student enrollment at the university. Interest, has likewise grown with each consecutive gatli-1 ering, according to those on the campus who have witnessed the majority of them. Today, leaders of the Oregon ! press, will gather at the journalism building at scheduled intervals for informal discussion of problems of the journalists. Forgotten and un learned truths, things that arc known so well, and things that should be known in newspaperdom, will come under the focus of their discerning eves. At the meeting will be a highly representative group of journalists, with a groat Tango of experience amt understanding. Thorp will ik> a surprisingly largo nmnlior of mli tors and publishers who gained their experience from the well known school of "hard knocks’’ and “oxporion •o.” On Hie other hand tho newer tvpp of editor, the young, college- educated man will sit with equal gusto at, tin' “eonfali." In fact, the identity as to college-bred and those who learned from more difficult channels of experience will he a matter of conjecture for the casual observer. Fact is, the dif ference cannot be ascertained by the slant, of tho cigar, bv the at tractiveness of the cravat, the press of the pants, or perorations of ad dresses. The answer is probably due to the more general distribu tion of the college student among towns of the state than was com mon in earlier days. They have carried their customs, their debonair and otherwise attitude, their habits in general, into the most remote sections, until their parents, who never had advantages of college or ientation, can attend a session at the university such as the present one, or a dad’s day gathering, and actually feel collegiate and at home. Such a state of understanding is a good beginning for a successful gathering. Then, ton, there is a (Continued on l'npe Two) OJey Frigaarcl Is New Addition to Measles Patients Original Number of Colds And Scarlet Fever Cases Show No Increase Tlioro Tins boon but one addition to the list of measles at Timelier cottage over night, tliat of Oley Frigaard, a junior in music.

Kenneth Shumaker Writing English Book Work to Be Used as Text In English A Classes L. Kenneth Shumaker, supervisor of freshman English, is writing a hook entitled, “The Principles of English Grammar,” which will bo used by English A classes next term. The object of the book is to clear away a difficulty common to tho casual student of English, accord ing to Mr. Shumaker. “Latin grammar,” he said, “is tho Procrustean bed upon which for a long time wo have been trying to stretch tho English grammar. Eng lish can not fit the frame used for Latin. “This can bo done to a certain extent,” Mr. Shumaker conceded, “but it breaks down in some jdaces, mainly because tho place of the word in the sentence is often very important in English, while in Latin it is not. Tho main object of the book is to give an individual the ability to gain a rapid, unified and consistent view of certain under lying principles of the language.” The book will be divided into the following four chapters: first, the principles underlying language; sec ond, the parls of speech; third, usage and idiom; fourth, sentence analysis. “The book will not be published Vight away,” said Mr. Shumaker. “It will bo used in mimeographed form next term.” Independent Women’s Gathering Postponed The party for all unafiliuted women, which was to have taken place Friday night in the Woman's building, has been indefinitely post poned, Alice Murphy, who is iu charge of the event announced yes terday.
