MacCracken Jailed
WASHINGTON — William P.
MacCracken was ordered to jail
today by the supreme court of
the United States in an opinion
which gave congress a big stick
to hold over recalcitrant witnesses.
MacCracken, former assistant
secretary of commerce, was given
a. ten-day sentence by the senate
on a contempt charge growing out
I of his failure to give the senate in
vestigating committee investigat
ing the air mail certain papers it
had demanded.
The one-time government offi
cial hired Frank Hogan, celebrated
attorney, who argued that the
courts—not the senate or the
house- had the power to punish a
witness who defied congressional
inquisitors. But the court held that
congress itself has the power to
punish for contempt.
A.F.L. Battles Hichlterg
WASHINGTON— With another
angry blast at Donald Richberg the
American Federation of Labor pre
pared today to battle the automo
bile industry in congress and in ;
the factories themselves.
Asserting that Richberg had
“conspired” to "deceive” the presi- j
l dent, the federation turned its back
on the administration and sought
to broaden the scope of the con
gressional investigation of the in
industry proposed by Senator
Sehwellenbach ( D-Wash).
Organization of the A. F. L. lo
cals in the industry into an inter
national industrial union, as di
rected by the federation’s San
Francisco convention last fall, was
discussed at length at the organi
zation's executive council meeting
today.

Spaniards Plot
Against Portugal
MADRID, Feb. 4.— (AP)— A
plot to overthrow General Oscar
Carmona’s Portuguese republic and
establish an “Iberian union”
through connection with Spain was
revealed today, involving former
Premier Manuel Azana and other
prominent Spaniards.
Testimony in a report before the
Spanish parliament, not made pub
lic here, indicated that government
officials in the young Spanish re
public had provided means for ac- J
qutring large quantities of arms
and ammunition and for a public
exchequer of several hundred thou
sand pesetas for Portuguese sup
porters.
Microphone Fever Blamed
For ■Good and Bad9 Concert
By Fulton H. Travis
The University symphony or
chestra was both very good and
very bad in their concert in McAr
thur court Sunday. Perhaps it was
microphone fever as the program
was broadcast. The most serious
offense of which they were guilty
was that of failing to respond to
the baton at several crucial points
in the program. Crescendos and
diminuendos, and changes in tem
po, many of them, were ridden
over rough shod by the players de
spite the almost frantic efforts of
Rex Underwood to bring them to
the desired tempo and volume.
The trumpeters, seasoned play
ers, were very poor. Not only was
their tone crude, caused, no doubt,
by a protracted rehearsal before
the concert, but their execution
was extremely sloppy in many
places.
In the ‘‘Overture to Hansel and
Gretel” by Humperdinck, the first
and second violins appeared to be
slightly separated with regard to
rhythm—not markedly so—but
enough to give listeners an uneasy
feeling during one or two passages.
Our last kick—then down to
merits of the program—for they
were many in spite of the definite
crudities in the early part of the
concert. The oboes and flutes were
cut of tune during the entire con
cert, but be it said to their credit,
they did their best to remedy the
fault.
Vivian Malone’s rendition of
Mendelssohn's violin concerto was
done beautifully. Miss Malone put

5 Students to Vie
For Cash Prizes
In Jewett Contest
Participants Will Discuss
Pacific Topics
At the close of the last day for
entry into the W. F. Jewett extem
pore speaking contest, the second
of the series for this year, five
students had signed up for the
contest, according to John L. Cas
teel, director of speech. They are
Erittain Ash, William Labursky,
Orton Goodwin, Dan Ft Clark, Jr.,
and Irvin Buchwach.
On the evening of February 14
these participants will contend for
the prizes, $25 for first place and
$15 for second place. Due to the
small number of entrants no third
prize will be awarded.
Drawings for sub-topics from the
general subject, “America’s Stake
in the Pacific Basin,’’ will take
place on the evening of the contest
in the order of speaking. Three
sub-topics will be drawn by each
participant from a list of 12 which
will be drawn up by faculty mem
bers. One will be chosen and the
speaker will give a talk on it not
to exceed 10 minutes nor to be less
than 8. The contest will be open
to the public. The place will be
announced later, Casteel stated.
The winner will represent the
University in a state contest of

University Shows
Enrollment Gain
Registration at the University
has reached 2413, an increase of
18 percent over winter term a year
ago, when enrollment was 2053,
and only a slight drop from the fall
term total of 2498, it was an
nounced today by C. L. Constance,
assistant registrar.
The small drop from last term is
considered remarkable, since the
“turnover” between terms in the
past has been as high at 250, Con
stance says. This year it was but
85.
Of the total registered, 1452 are
men and 961 women. The chief
gain in registration is shown by
men, since winter term last year
numbered 1188 men and 865 wom
en. The freshman class this term
showed an increase of almost 200
over last year, jumping from 559
to 758. Sophomores this year num
ber 819, compared to 658 a year
ago.
Other classes and classifications
of students this term are: juniors,
212; seniors, 340; specials, 16; pro
fessional law, 109; graduate stu
dents, 134, and auditors, 25.

marriage a success.
Conklin Presents
Books to Friends
Dr. E. S. Conklin, professor of
psychology, who is now at the Uni

Dr. Conklin has taught continu
ously on this campus since 1911
except for a years visit as assistant
professor in Chicago, and has also

Instruction Text
Book Advocates Variety of
Teaching Methods
“Progressive Methods of Teach
ing in Secondary Schools," an up
to-date text on high school meth
ods, written by Dr, Nelson L. Bos
sing, professor of education has
been released from the publishers
and is now on sale throughout the
United States.
The volume is built on the idea
that there is not just one best way
in which to teach. This factor
brings about a sanity and a dis
criminating doctrine that makes it
especially suitable for readers who
follow fads and fancies.
The recognition of school man
agement as an integral part of
class room methods and a thorough
discussion of these problems in
relation to the problems of teach
ing technique is a valuable feature
usually not found in such text
books.

Cherry Blossom Doll Festival
Of Japanese Is On Display
Each spring during the past
thousand years when the cherry
blossoms are in bloom it has been
the custom of the little girls in
Japan to prepare eagerly for their
doll festival, which is held on the
third of March.
In the Japanese room of the
Murray Warner art museum is a
set of dolls which belonged to some
Japanese girl who lived about 300
years ago. The set is typical of the
displays which the Japanese use
for their Girls’ Doll Festival. Rep
resenting the members of the royal
court the dolls are arranged on a
set of five scarlet-covered steps
with the emperor and empress of
Japan occupying the top step. On
each side of them are the ministers
of the right and left. Garbed In
trailing kimonas and carrying
small fans are the ladies of the
court, with the court musicians
below them. Household articles
such as tiny screens, vases, stands,
and lacquered tea tables make up
the rest of the display.
Two weeks before the doll festi
val all the shops and toy stores
feature their most attractive dolls,
the bakeries make tiny cakes and
buns for the occasion, and the
whole country enters into the spirit
of the festival. On the holiday itself
the girls get out dolls which have
been in their family for genera
tions. These are prized far more
than the newer and more attrac
tive dolls which Japan now special
izes in.
All day long the girls hold open
house, displaying their dolls to all
visitors and acting as hostesses for
their households. Dainty dishes,
which they themselves have spent
the previous day preparing, are
served to all who come to view
their dolls.
Third Parent
Individuals Start as One
Cell Which Contains
Group of Genes
Lecturer Illustrates Talk
With Lantern Slides
“No organism inherits a char
acter. We speak of blue eyes or
curly hair as hereditary charact
ers, but strictly speaking this is
incorrect,” Dr. R. R. Huestis, pro
fessor of zoology, explained in a
speech delivered in Friendly hall
last night.
“A human individual starts as
a single cell which contains a
group of genes rather more than
half of which he obtained from his
mother and the remainder from his
father. This is his or her inheri
tance,” he continued, in telling of
human heredity, the subject which
has brought forth so much scien
tific and philosophical discussion.
Environment Factor
Dr. Huestis referred to environ
ment as the third parent to which
the child appeals to make good the
deficiencies of the other two. To
what extent environment can do
so cannot yet be completely an
swered “and the meditations of the
devout and learned concerning it
must unfortunately be made amid
the clamor of charlatans.”
"The geneticist does not believe
that the question will ever be en
tirely answered so nicely inter
woven are the respective contribu
tions of all three parents with re
gard to a host of important human
characters.” As examples of the
geneticists position, he pointed out
that eye color is largely a matter
of interaction of the genes, while
on the other hand, in regard to vo
cabulary, “the smarter kids with
a given amount of schooling will
know more words.”
No Human Experiments
The fact that no human experi
mental breeding is possible and the
complexity of the physical abilities
of chance mating lead to a differ
ence of opinion of the respective
contributions of genic and environ
mental influences. “It is a singular
destiny that those who seek prog
ress are most occupied with the
