lecturing in cities and universities throughout the United States.
Angell was born in England but educated in France and Switzerland While still a young man he came to America and took up farming.
However arguing the respective merits of England and the U. S. with neighboring farmers proved to be much more interesting to him than the agricultural life, and finally he turned to writing.
After writing for several local papers, Angeli returned to Europe where he served successively as correspondent for American papers, editor of "Galignani's Messenger" in Paris, and finally general manager of the Paris "Daily Mail" which position he held until the outbreak of the first World war.
In 1929 Angeli was elected to the British Parliament on the labor ticket but resigned in 1931. He was knighted by King George V for his outstanding work for international peace in 1931 and received the Nobel peace prize in 1933.
At the outbreak of the present war he was lecturing in German universities.

COLLEGE CROWD BEST-
After cutting records for several weeks in New York, Savitt and his group will open an engagement at the Hotel Sherman in Chicago, from there they will go to the Palladium in California.
Savitt is only 27 years old and has had the "Tophatters" for three years.

The Tophatters will make more one-night stands after leaving the campus as they return to New York City to make recordings Thursday for the Victor Recording company. Savitt has made records for Decca but beginning March 1, all records will be issued by Victor.
Savitt's three most popular records have been "720 in the Books," "It's a Wonderful World," and "Tuxedo Junction." Each number has a sale of over 150,000 records. His contract calls for 48 recordings a year, but the actual number produced is nearer one hundred, with several scheduled to be released within 10 days.

Pickering was born and raised in Olathe, home town of another Uni-
