Albanian Revolt Duke’s Wedding Mem Deal W/ins Ey PAUL DEUTSCHMANN Now Popular Front War-torn loyalist Spain formed its sixth government since the be ginning of the conflict yesterday with socialist-physician Dr. Juan Negrin at the reins of a popular front cabinet, cut in size, and de termined to unite all factions to “win the war.” Two communists, three socialists, two left republicans, a Basque na tionalist, and a union republican make up the nine-man cabinet. War activity was centered on the Madrid and Bilbao fronts with rebels driving closer to the Basque capital and peppering away on the Madrid trenches. King Zog's Army King Zog’s Albanian army suc cessfully quelled the two-day rebel lion in the southern part of the tiny kingdom, government reports said yesterday. Across the Adriatic, in Ttaly, Mussolini poo-pooed ideas that the revolt was directed against Italians for their economic invas ion of rich Albanian oil fields. Of ficial sources claimed that the short-lived revolution was sponsor ed by communists. Statements from Rome upheld this contention.

Court Upholds Again Skipping the social security law for the pesent, the supreme court yesterday handed down two decis ions favorable towards FDR’s new deal government policies. A ruling on the AAA taxes collected before invalidation of the act indicated that the government would be able to keep almost the entire $963,000, 000. Only those levies paid directly by the millers without being passed on to consumers may be refunded. Louisiana’s chain store tax, rem anant of Huey Long's attempt to “Share the Wealth,” was also sup ported by the court in a 4-3 decis ion.

If caught hand holding, they are fined $10, and if caught osculating, they are fined $25. What a price to pay for a little bit of love! * * sfc Nuts to Housetcork That home economics coeds at South Dakota State college are out to capture husbands so they can darn socks and wash dishes in a scientific manner the rest of their lives has been refuted by Prof. W. F. Kumlein, head of the sociology department. Fifty-three per cent of the coeds answered a questionnaire made out by Professor Kumlein by asserting that they would prefer a profession or work out side of the home to housework. * * * A Ncir Curriculum The boner pulled by a Univer sity of Minnesota freshman who wanted to know “what building the campus is in” was bad, but the one made by an adult visitor to the University of Cincinnati was worse. A professor took the trouble to conduct the visitor and his party all over the campus and finally to the football stadium. “This,” exclaimed the professor “is our stadium!" Impressed, the visitor studied the grounds for an instant and turned to the faculty member. “This is all very nice, but I hear you have a very fine curriculum here. Would you take us through that next ?” 'High Class’ Story Teller Is Richard Halliburton Travel for Fun, Money — Adventurer Is Third to Swim Famous Hellespont; Paddles at Panama at Regular Tonnage Rates By HUBARD KUOKKA A high class story teller this Ricahrd Halliburton the romantic world traveler, author, lecturer, who makes his living by having a helluva good time bumming about here and there, and then telling us stay-at homes all about it. He was the third one in romantic history to swim the Hellespont. There had been the passionate Leander, whose fire for his girl friend on the other side was the only good reason for ever doing it. There was Byron, the poet, who did it for the fun of it, and then Halliburton, Halliburton Talk EndsASUOSeries Speaker Holds UO Crowd With Live Description Of Travel Life The intense personality of Rich ard Halliburton, popular non-fic tion writer, as he told of dramatic incidents in his world-wide search for adventure, held the interest of University students and towns people last night in McArthur court as the last of the ASUO at tractions to student body members of the school year was presented. The writer’s first story was of his discovery of one of the assassins of Czar Nikolas of Rus sia, Pete Prmakov. His story re lated the account of Prmakov’s part in the assassination of the royal family as told from the com munist's doath-bed. The reality of the actual assassin ation of the Romanoff family was vidily portrayed by Mr. Hallibur ton. All of the royal family were killed in a basement cell by Prma kov and two assistants. This clear ed up the question of whether there were any remaining Romanoffs. He related of his taking a plane to Persia, and inducing a Persian princess to ride with him in his air plane, as did the Arabian prince with his magic carpet. When asked what he planned to do next, Mr. Halliburton said he was going to travel the route of the China Clipper in a Chinese junk from China to San Francisco. He plans to do this in the summer of 1938, and broadcast from the junk to the San Francisco exposi tion. Aquatic Fete Set For Gerlinger Pool The varsity swimming squad and the Amphibians are teaming up on Wednesday and Thursday to present an imperial water car - ^ nival in the Gerlinger pool at 8 o’clock.

The pool will be decorated, and various bright costumes, although difficult to swim in, will be worn by the participants. Tickets can be bought at the educational activities hut between McClure and the Journalism build ing. Prep Musicians Give Ensemble Here Saturday Several hundred high school stu dents from “B" high schools of Lane county celebrated at McAr thur court Saturday afternoon in the annual music festival held there at that time. The groups from the various high schools banded together to perform an ensemble. The groups which performed were a girls’ chor us, a boys’ chorus, and these two together to form a mixed singing group. Hal Young, professor of, music at the University, directed the singers. The Creswell orchestra played, and joined the Santa Clara band to conclude the program. High schools represented at the music festival were Creswell, Lor ane, Santa Clara, Mohawk, Maple ton, Elmira, and Vida. 1 who did it because the others did. Halliburton does these unusual things to satisfy his craving for the "out of the ordinary,” and writes books about it. “My most difficult feat was swimming the Panama canal," he said. “It was 50 miles of swimming and I blocked traffic for eight days. All those big battleships, mer chantment, and destroyers could do was sit around and knit while I made my way through." Blocks Canal His blocking traffic for this time as he swam the canal brought much protest from the canal offi cials and they were going to soak him a lot of money for all the water it took to move him through the locks but he is a plenty fast talker, this energetic, black-haired, dark-green eyed Halliburton, and he says that he told the canal keep er, “See here, I'm the S.S. Richard Halliburton, and I’ll pay the regu lar tonnage rates you charge all traffic through this canal." So Halliburton talked the man into letting him through on the basis of his weight which was 140 pounds. "I was a one thirteenth of a ton ship and on that basis it cost me 36 cents to get through.

The tiyo houses were even up in tennis standing after last week’s doubles competition, the honors of which were divided. I ho season anct set the rampaging Cougars back with two runs and three hits. Bill Sa.vles hurled the last inning for Oregon, fanning the last three men in the WSC batting order to hold a two-run lead amassed by the Webfoots in the first half of the inning. Bishop, WSC lead-off man, hom ered off Bob Hardy who opened on the mound for Oregon. Two walks, two hits, an error and two stolen liases gave Washington State two more runs before the side was re tired in the first. Marshall Enters Game Marshall relieved Hardy in the second after two men had hit, one was out, and a pair of passes had forced in WSC’s fourth run. He retired the side without further scoring and gave one run in the third on a hit, a fielder’s choice, and an error.

As Gordon was safe on a field er’s choice, Sienko, WSC hurler, walked Hurney. Smith was out to Bishop on secontl base. Sayles, hitting for Amato, drew a base on balls and Thomas, slugging Oregon catcher, tripled to score all three men. Thomas died on third oa Marshall grounded to Sienko, ending the inning.

Moore, professor of general physiology, has no end of respect for bees and ants. ''They’re great practical psychologists,” he says. According to Dr. Moore any animals who live together in great numbers develop great powers of cooperation. The bee for instance will find a supply of honey, and returning to the hive will not only tell his buddies 'the exact place where the honey can be found, but he also in soma way indicates the number of bees that should be sent out to get it. Beavers who also live in villages and who build houses within the village have developed to, he says. Dr. Moore himself has observed beavers who after building their houses found that the stream in which they had built them was not large enough to cover the roofs. They were not at all dismayed and ufter looking over the situation they dug a channel to a nearby stream so that more water would flow their way. When this was still not enough, they swam upstream and worked on the stream, straighten ing and deepening the channel. Just as a bee can tell when a person is afraid, by the nervous movements that a person may make, so the dog who is perhaps one of the greatest practical psy chologists of all can sit in his cor ner and analyze character, thinks Dr. Moore. “A dog doesn't worry and try to figure things out,” says Dr. Moore. "He just sits there and observes." To him every movement of a hand means something, and the tone of a voice or an unconscious mannerism can mean more for a dog than many humans can see.
