Lewis Prize Essay Outlines Are Due by First of April
Subject Is on Some Phase of Applied Christianity; Awards Announced Next June
The deadline for the submission of manuscript outlines for the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis prize essay has been set for April 1. The rules for the contest state that each contestant must not later than April 1, band in at the Chancellor's office a sealed envelope containing the real name of the contestant and a tentative outline of their paper. This envelope must be written the assumed name of the contestant and the exact title of this essay.
Prof. L. E. Sisson in a statement made today said that the students of the University were not taking hold of this proposition as they should. "They are disregarding the chance to win equally of these large prizes. A few people have told me that they have planned to compete but of late years the competition has been very slight indeed. In fact, in recent years we have seen that no prizes have been awarded and so far as I know almost 1000 has accumulated as a result of this very small contest."
"There is a large range of subjects for the student to choose from." Professor Sisson stated and they are all modern, up to their subjects. More advanced courses in the context is open only to the students of the University of Kauai.
These essays must be no less than 5000 or more than 10,000 words in length. Each contestant must hand in three copies of his essay at the Chancellor's office by May 1, in addition to the outline submitted on page 34. All papers must be written and provided with a table of contents, footnotes giving references to authorities cited, and bibliography, and must be signed with the writer's assumed name. Awards will be made by the committee and announced at commencement. Students desiring the opportunity to submit subject are requested to confer with Professor Sisson, 203 Fraser hall.
The subject for the essay is to be on some phase of applied Christianity. The problem choice may be in the field of economic, social, educational, racial, or international relations. The subject should be treated as a critical discussion, in which the subject is presented as clearly and definitely as possible what the teaches of Jesus are as affecting the matter in hand.
Dove Prints Crafton's Review of Lewis Nove
"Buy a Dove and warm up on a cold morning" was the sales agent of the shivering man who offered the Dove for sale yesterday on the carm
This issue of the Dove contained a feature article by Proff. Allen Cranfton on "Sinclair Lewis and the Cherry," published in *The New Yorker* novel, "Elmer Gauthry." He was in a position to give an early report of the book because he was able to receive an advance copy before the release date and the book before the general public.
This issue also contained an article by Judge Ben Lindsley defending the position that he has taken on free love and trial marriage. A clever quotation by Jack Kearns in regard to his former pupil, was also printed.

Freedom With Independence Helps for a Happy Marriaeg According to Booth Tarkington
United Presid
complete freedom, independence and self-determination in married life are urged by Booth Tarkington as an excuse for the divorce evil, in an article published by the American Magazine. Marriage is an increasing cause of human unhappiness, says the writer, who demands that the best brain of a man should be protected it as it is so dangerous and hurtful as possible to the affected individuals.
The rise in proportion of unhappy marriages in America may be roughly measured by the census statistics on divorces W廷翰点句出. The number of divorces was 55 in 1870, rising to 84 in 1909 and 115 in 1924. The proportions of the divorce evil vary widely in different parts of the country. At the present time, the largest proportion of divorces is having marriage, is apparently the national capital, for the District of Columbia has only 26 divorces a year per 100,000 of population. The nearest approach to this record is New York State with 42. North Carolina has 38, South Carolina with 58 and North Dakota with 65.
The most unstable married life is found in the western states, Nevada, of course, leading the list with 1,087 divorces and a year and only 1079 marriages. Annual divorce figures per 100,000 population in Nevada and Oklahoma are 382 in Oregon, 353, Texas 306, Oklahoma 297 and California 288.
The main trouble with modern marriage, Tarkington finds, is that it interferes drastically with the freedom of the individual. "We cannot expect during these present generations, to alter the institution of marriage itself," he said gloomily, "and there is little prospect of changing the circumstances under which marriages are usually constructed. It appears that the eyeses we establish, necessary dangers to the individual, much as in the past we have accepted the institution of war."

"I am inclining to the opinion that freedom must be an element in happy marriages, and that intelligent and caring people are better married by marriage by introducing it.

"I do not mean that freedom of itself creates happiness for people, married or unmarried. A man with a friendly toothteeth is not happy, no maternity, nor being married. Marriages having freedom will not be happy, but to have freedom is to have the greatest chance of happiness in marriage, and marriage cannot be happy, lacking it, except with the greatest chance of master and complete serif."
"A wise and gentle observer of life once said that marriage, like life, is a field of battle, not a bed of roses. So it is—for those who fight. Moreover, in marriage, the fighters first shackle themselves to each other. They shackle themselves to each other. The combatants, like cats so engaged, fight merely because they are shacked to each other. Where the shackles are heavy there will be desperation. But with freedom, marriage can be harder; the battle than it has to be a bargeau."
"Yes," says Mr. Tarkington, "That will be his nearest approach to happiness, if freedom is the great element. If he contraints her, she will still care as much as before for the other man. The husband has therefore gained nothing of her heart, and her heart is surely the important thing. By constraining her or tormenting her, he forces what he wants from her heart; and by removing the essential element, freedom, he makes certain of the unhappiness of their marriage, which may have been only doubtful."
Mr Tarlington even extends his recommendation of "freedom" to include acquiescence in marital infidences. The question was not to him what advice should be given to a husband is infatuated with another woman, or a husband who learns that his wife is in love with another man? Mr Tarlington has to consent to such freedom?"
