When bloodless battles are raging in the House of Representa
tives, these two fiery southerners from Tennessee, Finis J. Garrett,
(left) and John Q. Tilson are always to be found where the argument
is hottest. Leaders of their respective Democratic and Cepublican
party factions, they are continually at sword's points.
More Students Dropped
At U. of 0. Last Term
University of Oregon, Eugene. Jan.
5. Twice as many students were
dropped from the university for poor
scholarship in the fall term thun
ever before, according to ,an announce
ment by the registrar todiy.
Ninety-six students ware i.unkeu
out at the end of the fall term. Sev-ty-five
of this number Were men and
Jl were women.
The quality of students, according
to the registrar, especially fieshiren,
is probably higher this year, but the
reason for the greater n amber of
nunkers is that requirements Tor
staying at the University are stricter
than ever before.
Only 26 of those who failed were
freshmen." In the first year class
only 2 7-9 per cent failed, whereas
3 5-16 per cent of the other three
classes failed. This indicates, the
registrar announced, that the Uni
versity is not unduly strict with
freshmen. Requirements arc not
quite so high for them, and also they
are serious and not so often over
conhdent. freshmen must pass ap
proximately one-third of the average
number of hours, while members of
the other classes must pass nearly
half.
In addition to the 96 who failed out
entirely, 120 others were placed on
probation. Last year 110 were put on
probation. Of the probationers 94
are men and 34 women. A majority
of those on probation, however, are
freshmen.
Th etotal mortality during the fall
term was 194, as 98 students with
drew. Difficulty with scholarship is
the most common cause of wtihdrawal.
Mrs. Amanda Erwin is a guest this
week at the home of her son and

The party policies of Finis J. Garret and John Q. Tilson are
crowded into the background of their romantic careers, and we find
ourselves admiring two great statesmen who can talk yet get a great
deal done, and who thru these rare virtues have become strong threads
in America's governmental fabric.
John Q. Tilson, Republican, and Finis J. Garrett, Democrat, head
the majority and minority factions of their respective parties in the
House of Representatives in Washington. This is the first time that
the same state has produced the two rival political leaders.
John Q. Tilson represents Connec
ticut but is a native of the south.
Born in Tennessee, he grew up among
the smoky mountains of Unicoi Coun
ty where his early life ran parallel
with that of the great emancipator,
Lincoln.
At eighteen, young Tilson slung
his wardrobe over his broad shoulders
and emerged from his hills to face
the world, urged forward with the
passionate desire to be something.
Not even the walk from Tennessee
to New Haven, Connecticut, could
cool his burning desire for learning,
and although tired of foot it was with
a strong heart that he presented him
self at Yale University, demanding
admission.
But education costs money. So Til
son worked his way thru by cutting
grass, selling books, waiting on ta
bles, and by performing any odd job
that his hands could find.
Graduating law, he practiced in
New Haven, from where he was elect
ed to the Connecticut legislature,
eventually becoming speaker of that
body. Today he occupies an enviable
position in Congress, being an able
and sagacious statesman.
Across the aisle from Tilson sits
Finis J. Garrett, also a native of Ten
nessee, yet born of another world.
Garrett came into the world surround
ed by an environment of wealth and
position. His antecedents disappear
into the past in lustrous perspective.
How striking in contrast when com
pared to Tilson's humble origin.
Finis J. Garrett was elected to Con
gress when but thirty years of age,
being its youngest member. He is a
dangerous opponent in debate, capable
of sweeping the opposition aside by
an avalanche of powerful argument.
Certainly these two men present an
interesting picture to you and I, as
they struggle orally, mentally and
perhaps someday physically for su
premacy. Each finding in the other
a foeman worthy of his steel, who
neither asks nor gives quarter, ful
filling the traditional spirit of the
South.
What are your plans during the next
few days?"
"I am going out of London tomor
row to stay with Lady Manton near
Sheffield," answered Latter. "A semi
political house party. Good heav
ens! What's that?"
With a snort Hugh sat up blink
ing. "So sorry, old lad," he blurbed, "I
snored: know I did. Late hours are
the devil, aren't they?"
He heaved himself out of his chair,
and grinned pleasantly at Latter, who
frowned disapprovingly.
"I don't go in for them myself.
Well, Sir Bryan?"
"This matter shall be attended to,
Mr. Latter. I will see to it. Good
afternoon. I will keep this note."
"And who was that little funny
face?" said Hugh as the door closed
behind Mr. Latter.
"Member of parliament for a north
country constituency," answered Sir
'Bryan, still staring at the piece of
paper in his hand. Lives above his
income. Keenly ambitious. But I
thought he was all right."
The other two stared at him in surprise.
What do you mean, sir." asked
Mclver at length.
"Our unknown friends do not think
so, Mac," answered the chief, handing
his subordinate the note left by Lat
ter. "They are beginning to interest
me, these gentlemen. "
'You need a rest, Charlie Latter,"
read Mclver slowly. "We have es
tablished a home for people like you
where several of your friends await
you. In a few days you will join
them."

what I want to kn.ow is this. Is this

He handed a sheet of paper to the
other, who glanced at it casually.
Then the casual look vanished and
Sir Bryan sat down at his desk, his
eyes grim and stern.
"By the afternoon post, you say?"
"Yes. And there have been too many
disappearances lately!"
"How did you know that?" snapped
the chief, staring at him.

thoughtfully lighting a cigarette.
"First and most important: that mes

stared out of the window with a

Mclver's great jaw stuck out as if
made of granite.
"It proves my theory, sir," he grunt
ed, "bvf if those jokers try that game
on with Mr. Latter they won't catch
me a second time,"
A terrific blow on the back made
him gasp and sputter.
"There speaks my hero-boy," cried
Hugh. "Together we will outwit the
knaves."

Hugh Drummond strolled slowly
along Whitehall in the direction of
Trafalgar square. . His face wore its
habitual look of vacuous good humor,
and at intervals he hummed a little
tune under his breath. It was out
side the Carlton that he paused as a
car drew up by his side, and a man
and a girl got out.
"Algy, my dear old boy," he mur
mured, taking off his hat, "are wo in
health today?"
"Passable, old son," returned Algy
Longworth, adjusting his quite un
necessary eyeglass. "The oysters

Hugh bowed.
"You know the risk you run I sup

The girl laughed. "He seems harm
less," she answered lightly.
"That's his guile. After the second
cup of tea he's a perfect devil. Keep

ond cup. Miss Farreydale.
She passed into the Carlton, and
for a moment the two men were. to
