The WORLD In Review v. ’ ■ J!X '~rt t1 ■fils?- • ■ 'Mrs. Gann Wins Battle Session Begins Monday Dawes Highly Honored -By CARL GREGORY *-rT''JIE League of Nations, the A World Court, the maintain ing of a big navy, the conduct of a. war in Nicaragua, are all impor tant, and may effect the peace of the civilized world, but they sink into insignificance when compared with the great question of where our vice-president’s sister shall sit at the dinner table,” believes Senator Norris of Nebraska who urges im .mo Hate decision of the big problem of Mrs. Dolly Curtis Gann’s reputed position. -‘Not only is society in our •country suffering in suspense, but the question seriously affects our international rc’ations, ” says Senator Norris and he urges imme diate action on relegation of the dik-muia to the World Court to pre serve world peace. Chief Two Guns White Calf of Glacier Parle, Montana, in contribut ing to widespread opinion on the Ci nation offered a logical solution, He said: “Thcso whiter squaws make much thunder over nothing. One is tVr-l and wants to bo second. Tel’ them all to go into the wigwam, sit in a circle, then no first, no last, thunder dies and the braves can sleep.” Latest dispatches say that "Mrs. Gann, sister and official hostess of Vice-president, Curtis; has become the temporary victor in the battle fur her social status in Washington. In other words she will sit in a < i..picuous position at official cere monious diplomatic, functions which would normally be given to the wife of the vice-president. ifO0X&EE36MEN, with tlic socia1 affairs of Mrs. Gann cleared way and nothing more than farm relief and tariff revision to ■worry .''bon', should bo aide to assemble i a Monday, April id, in special sos Bwa witli a dear and unbeiuddled brain. Major among their means of entertainment wi:l be discussion of farm relief and tariff revision. Other things that are crying at tin1 doors ’of the two houses for consideration are: Repeal of the Na tional Origins quota system of im migration; reapportionment of the House of Representatives; develop ment of inland waterways as a part of the Hoover farm relief program. Without doubt, interesting develop ments will be forthcoming from Washington in the next few days. CHIARLES G. Dawes ami his over •4 size pipe (or underslung smoke stack), a possible factor in gaining him the official title of General “We” Charles G. Dawes, has again been honored. He will now serve in tl>e official capacity of United [States ambassador to Great Britain, one of the very highest of portfolio positions at Hoover’s disposal. His confirmation by the British is cer tain in view of press comments they have made about him, and it is only to bo hoped that the' General can keep his regular poise awl ability to think logically on so important a mission. He has a few matters of importance to clear up in Santo Domingo relating to financial re organization, and then—1‘'Ilello! Britishers! ” Proposals do wonderful things and are always necessary to the real thing! Now, Senator Fess, Rep-j ubliean, Ohio, proposes—the adop- i tion of a constitutional amendment i making all former presidents of the I United States ex-officio senators at! large. Sounds feasible at first \ thought. “It is undignified for our: ox-presidents to have to get out aud look for a means to earn a living,”! SciiaUr Foss said. “Alsu it is a j shame not to make use of their ex traordinary expedience in national affairs.” Or. second thought, when, he proposes to give them a salary j of $25,000—then, one begins to won- j dor. It is hyiiman nature! PROHIBITION .lias been holding1 varied degrees of attention throughout the United ’ States and Canada for the last month. 0.. March 4 President Hoover annojiuc- j od his intentions to investigate pre-1 veiling tendencies of disregard for j the Eighteenth amendment. Ap- : proxim; ten mm month later a series j of dramatic and tragic events seem to make such an investigation even ; more imperative. The wife of an/ alleged liquor-seller was killed by a deputy sheriff in Aurora, Illinois. A rum - running schooner, “I'm Alone,’’ was sunk two-hundred miles off the Atlantic coast by a coast guard cutter. Newspapers support ing the Jones law and stricter en forcement of prohibition siozc upon sueli^ cv(«uts as addenda to their ar •gnmeuts for law enforcement. On the other hand many states are seriously considering ameliora tion of prohibition laws., Illinois and Missouri are now proposing measures for referenda on the wet dry question. New York, Nevada, Montana and Maryland are without state enforcement acts, all but Maryland having repealed them. Wisconsin is making a move to join the group of non conformists and Connecticut and Rhode Island have never ratified the Eighteenth amend ment Nova Scotia is becoming rebel lious over doing without her drinks. A recent hill offered for referendum 'he question: “Are you in favor of < ntii.uing the Nova Scotia temper ance act.”’ California, Colorado, Massachusetts*, Ohio and North Da kota have held referenda on the same question at various times, all voting to uphold prohibition except 1 Massachusetts. in face of such agitation Hoover .nd his now cabinet will have to j tet busy if they are to be “boss of heir own house” and live up to j a c-cleetion promises of stricter en forcement. "3T\AVID Lloyd George, on the eve -*-^of the British general election.' promises to provide work for 600,- , 100 of England’s 1.400,000 unem ployed, if the Liberals win at the j '•dining election. Unemployment in; England seems to be the clue to j the riddle of the polls, and the man who advances the best positive plan , if remedy will win. On the other hand the, United j States has approximately 3,000,0001 and Germany 3,000,000 jobless. Yet' how many of the leading politi-j cians in the United States and Ger many consider the situation' really serious? Perhaps the Britisher has to be more considerate of his fellow : men than we do! In England, in about two months, ' the election will probably be won; and lost on the unemployment plat- ■ form. Lloyd George proposes an in- ' tensive campaign of road and bridge] building. Also lie would build many! dwellings, telephone and electrical developments, and drainage and I transportation improvements in the! London area. He has ideas about I land reclamation, afforestation, can-1 al building, and land settlement. A! noble inarch he has thus stolen on ■ his Conservative and Liberal rivals! by facing the unemployment issue squarely and by giving definite cures instead of general promises. ! Perhaps he is trying to introduce business methods of running the government and winning votes. Dean Lawrence to Speak ! Kllis Fuller Lawrence, dean of ar chitecture, will speak Saturday night to the Civic league in Portland on; the development of the waterfront. Dean Lawrence is chairman of the waterfront eolnmittee of the Oregon Building Congress, which is (liscus I sing the plans of making a park and boulevard on the Portland water-] “rout. Animal Sizeable | 'AUSTIN, Texas.—(IP)—The 1929 Cactus, Texas university annual, will cost $25,000, according to its board of editors. The book contains 532 pagas, and will bp one of the larg est annuals ever published by any educational institution in the coun try. More than three thousand copies have been ordered. Following is an Associated Press report from Bucharest, Boumania: Juiiu Maniu, the new premier, has discovered that an entire railroad, | including tracks, rolling stock and j signal system, has been stolen. The dispatch stated that the railroad in- j spec-tors missed the entire road, which extended from C'luu, Trausyl- j vauia, to Jacobcni, Roumauia.

Cougars’ Track Team Prepares for Season WASHINGTON STATE COL LEGE, Poilman.—Coach Karl 'A. Schlademan, chief of Cougar track men, expects to send his squad of cinder performers through regular j time trials at the first opportunity | of warm weather in order to get ! some definite line on the strength of his 19119 aggregation. Cold i weather the last week has hindered i the progress of the track candidates ! who have been restrained from ex-; tending themselves. Particular attention is being giv-j on tlie sprinting department which will form the main threat of the Washington State team. With We: i ley Foster, the negro sensation \vh > won both the hundred nu.l. .t'o-yar. events in the Pacific coast confer i cnee meet last year; Howland New ; man, another lcttermnn; and Ken Kelly and Jack Mooborrv, star spee-dstets of Iasi year's fresh; | Coach HChademan has a quartet of performers that should give oppos ing runners plenty of trouble. In the middle distances, W. H. C. will also be well represented while in the .jumps the Cougar coach has three veterans and a sophomore star. Weaknesses in the hurdles, javelin throw and shot put are quite ap parent but the Staters are fair in the discus. Candidates at Oberlin Announce Platforms O B E ft LI X, 0.—IF—For the first time in recent years politics entered into campus elections at Oberlin college, and for the first time, can didates for office took it upon themselves to announce their plat forms. All took themselves very seriously, with the exception of one Leslie P. Bigelow, candidate for rep resentative on the student council, who declared: "In recent years T have .juggled with the Hi-O-Hi, dabbled in the murky waters of The Bystander, capered merrily upon the winding street of the Ilcview, and been no slight factor in the di •repitude at the l\;T<-nsic Union. As I near eighty, l may write these clandes tine doings, and the hook will be a blasphemy for vour horrifying. “Seriously (though the existence of a tiling more serious than jest is doubtful) I know of these out side inactivities with a knowledge gained of disheartening acquaint ance, and understand the methods for repair.

Hundreds of sophomores in the journalism school have written of the burning of University hall on similar occasions, but so far the old structure has not even been the .cause of a false alarm.
