Clapham Common, England, Feb. 18 (u.PJ If things like this
went on in the United States, somebody probably would call
the cops.
Herbert Morrison, labor party leader in the House of Com
mons was trying to make a speech. The hecklers were out in
force.
By courtesy and tradition the
British prime minister usually is
not heckled. That courtesy in
this campaign has also extended
to Winston Churchill, because
like him or leave him he car
ried the British through some
tough times. But Morrison got
the works.
Morrison was not howled off
the platform only because he
stuck it out. He delivered about
two-thirds, maybe less, of his
speech.
The meeting was off St. Al
phonsus Road in this lower
middle class district suburb of
London. St. Mary's assembly
hall is a drab and dusty room.
The stage had some faded sets.
Upward of 300 persons found
chairs and as many more stood
to pack the hall. The meeting
was largely labor but there were

enough others on hand to make
trouble.
Morrison, leader of the House
of Commons, is a sandy haired
man of medium height who
squints with his right eye. When
speaking he stabs a stubby fore
finger.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen,
I want to talk to you tonight
about the communists who "
he said.
"You are a communist your
self," said a young man.
"The communists,'1 Morrison
continued, "have 100 candi
dates in the race hoping to draw
from labor and to get a conser
vative win.
"In some countries the com
mies have split the trades un
ions well that hasn't come off
in Britian and don't let it."
"Point of order," shouted an
excited person far back in the
hall. He identified himself as a
communist.
'You'll get your point of or
der later," said the chairman.
Several private debates still
were going on throughout the
hall. Morrison barely could be
heard over the noise although
he had a public address system
microphone.
"Hey, brother, you in the soft
cap," he shouted. "I know you
are on our side Please shut
up."
A group began to chant:
Houses, houses, houses," in re
ference to their belief labor has
muffed the housing shortage.
Morrision resumed.
"The great issue in this elec
tion
"Is houses, " came from the
chanters.
"But we want Mr. Churchill,"
said the woman near the stage.
That brought on a battle of
words with a woman labor sup
porter nearby and all hands
watched that.
"Will all real labor supporters
please look at me," shouted
Morrison pleading for attention.
Someone produced a whistle to
blow from time to time.
Morrison talked some more
about communism and labor's
sure victory but he was angry
by this time.

Salem Indian school at Chemawa will on February 25' observe
its 70th birthday. The occasion will be celebrated the previous
day.
The school, which numbers among its alumni many oulstana

a group of Tory rowdies to make
consecutive speech," ne said
and he had something there.
"What are you going to nat
ionalize next time," shouted a
man.
"I would not nationalize you,"
Morrison replied. "You aren't
worth it." The rest of his words
were lost in an uproar of boos
and cheers. He had another
meeting to make and bowed
himself off the stage to tremen
dous labor cheers.
One man got in the last word:
"Well, there goes the biggest
liar in the labor party," he said.
London papers reported it as
a moderately lively meeting but
nothing to be compared with
the ruckus when Aneurin Bevan
speaks.
Tip of Crescent Moon Can Be
Foretold Years in Advance
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer, Extension Division
Oregon Higher Education System
If you are a watcher for the first sight of the "thin slip of
the new moon" low in the west in order to prognosticate from
its slant the weather for the following month, you should be
able to make your forecast early this evening providing cloud
conditions cooperate.
But whatever the weatner,
fair or foul, it is possible to tell
you the approximate "tip" of the
eresent months in advance yes,
years and without the least
fear of error.
Despite the idea of some that
either a "wet" or "dry" new
moon may grace the February
heavens, the keeping of records
for a few years would badly
shake the faith of the most de
vout believer in moon lore. The
new moons of this month are
alike year after year, but quite
different from those of late sum
mer and early autumn.
si e
It is generally stated that
when the crescent appears in
such a position as to hold water
inside its golden bowl, it is
properly called a "dry moon";
when tipped at such a danger
ous angle as to spill the celes
tial fluid, a "wet moon." With
this understanding, the Febru
ary new moon is always decide
ly arid: that of August, extreme
ly liquid.
As the crescent becomes
plumper and higher during the
early days of this coming week,
note that the rounded side is in
general downward and would
hold considerable water. The
farther south the observer, the
better slanted is the crescent as
a fluid container. From the lati

and his

tude of Mexico City, both points
will appear "straight up." Far
ther north, there will be some
tipping toward the left.
At the crescent stage six
months later, the open side of
the bowl will be turned toward
the south and would spill every
drop that might be placed, in it.
The farther north, the better
"spiller" it becomes, and in
southern Alaska, a line connect
ing the points will be vertical.
The rounded side of the moon
is always turned toward the
sun. In late winter and early
spring, the crescent is fairly
well above the setting sun, so
the points extend almost up
ward. Six months later, when it
is on that part of its path which
is far south of the sun, its points
extend toward the left.
The slant indicates the time
of year; and the weather only
in so far as this depends on the
season. Some Indian tribes are
said to have reasoned thus
"When the points of the cres
cent extend upward so that the
powder horn will hang on them,
leave it there for the forests are
too dry for hunting. But when
the tips are so inclined that the
powder horn will slide off, take
it and go, for the woods are
wet enongh to permit successful
stalking of the game."
county.
On February 25, 1880, Lt. M.
C. Wilkinson, its first supenn
tendent, started the school for
young Indians of the northwest
at Forest Grove. The location
was a tract of four acres belong
ing to Pacific university.
The school remained there
five years. By that time it had
outgrown its facilities and was
moved to Chemawa.
Si
After the transfer the first
commencement was held in the
late spring of 1886, the grad
uating class having completed
a curriculum equivalent to what
is now the sixth grade
By 1888 two more grades
were added to the course and
diplomas were awarded the first
eighth grades graduates. Two
more grades were added within
a few years and 10th grade
classes were graduated until
1924 when a full four-year high
school course was approved. The
first high school class was gradu
ated in 1927.
At the start the campus was
very small in area, with only
two or three frame buildings
built by the older students of
the school. Now the school is lo
cated on a tract of over 400
acres, including a large campus,
well landscaped, further beau
tified with fir and maple trees,
and with sightly brick and frame
buildings housing its variety of
training facilities. The student
body numbers over 500. When
Lieutenant Wilkinson started the
school 70 years ago there were
18.
In the span of 70 years 21
superintendents have served the
school, their tenure ranging from
three months, to 10 years. The
distinction of holding the long

Racketeers
In Warfare
Detroit, Feb. 18 (P) Police
were alert today to a possible
war in the gambling rackets
after a hoodlum's ambush shoot
ing last night.
Wounded in his right side and
arm, Maxie Sterns, 35. known
gambler with a long criminal
record, was in serious condition
in receiving hospital.
Assailants apparently crept up
on Sterms as he sat in his park
ed car on East Congress street
in the downtown district, police
said.
Nine bullet holes were found
in the door of the car. One shot
tore a gaping hole in Sterns'
right side.
At headquarters police ques
tioned several friends and asso

In keeping with gangland's code,
Maxie himself wasn't talking.
Moses Joseph, 40, described as
a gambing syndicate associate of
Sterns, took the wounded man
to the hospital.

ed.
I have summed up these years
of listening to stars' comments
about other stars. The result
is a list of the 10 stars most re
spected by their colleagues. Here
they are, with the reasons:
1. Cary Grant. He is the act-
ors actor. Performers realize
that comedy is the toughest of
mediums and they hail Grant as
the king of film comedy. An
oft-heard remark: "Isn't it a
crime that Cary Grant never
has won an Academy award?"
2. Jimmy Durante. I have
never heard anything but the
highest praise for Schnozzle.
This is unusual in the highly
competitive field of comedy.
Everyone agrees that Jimmy's
heart is as big as his nose.
3. Ethel Barrymore. Most
stars hold her in awe, as one of
the last links with a great era
of the American theater. She is
admired as an actress and as a
woman who can talk in a salty
manner about baseball and other
topics.
4. Walter Huston. A majority
of the stars would agree that he
is the best actor of the current
era.
5. Barbara Stanwyck. Affec
tionately called "Missy," she is
the best liked actress among set
workers. She is generally ad
mired for her lack of pretense
and her cussing ability.
Claudette Colbert. Her
charm and wise handling of her
career have made her a favor
ite in the movie colony.
7. Loretta Young. Her sur
prise Academy award for "The
Farmer's Daughter" demonstrat
ed her popularity with her fellow
workers. Her Christian ap
proach to her life and work is
respected in Hollywood.
8. Gregory Peck. He has
shown that it's possible to be a
regular guy" as well as a movie
star.
9. Irene Dunne. She is anoth
er wise handler of her career.
And her good works for charity
and tolerance have brought add
ed respect.
10. James Cagney. Stars ad
mire his highly styled acting and
his ability to keep his private
and public lives separate.
An added note to any stars I
haven't named: You were No. 11
on the list. Honest.
