Farm Relief Bill Passed by House on Third Attempt
SIX PAGES
Coolidge Expected to Veto Seriously Opposed McNary-Haugen Measure
The house approved the McNary
Haugen farm relief bill last night
with a majority of 34 votes. Now the
bill has been sent to President Coulge
who must approve it or vote
it before March 2. A veto is expected.
A session was held until late last night, in spite of demands ior armaments and various amendment of the opponents of the bill. It is the same bill as the senate approved last Friday.
Two Commodities Added
The bill provides a revolving fund of 250 million dollars to finance the handling of farm surpluses. The basic commodities designated by the bill are wheat, corn, hogs, cotton, rice and tobacco. Cotton and tobacco is this the main reason for its overwhelming victory in the house. The cotton and tobacco-producing states which were previously against the bill voted for it last night.
An equalization fee is to be leaved upon these farm products when an emergency exists and the collection is to be made at the processing point. A board of 12 members, one from each land bank district, will be established to remove farm surpluses from the market. They are to sell the commodities they supply if necessary. The board will have the power to make loans through agencies which it will operate.
Administration Fights Bill
Since it is believed to be a price fixing scheme and would place the federal government in business, the Coolidge administration has fought it. The bill has been in existence since last fall and has been defeated by a senate vote. If the president vetoes the bill, a two-third vote will be required by both the house and senate.
Amenites to the bill declare that the president's veto will be his finish, as far as a third nomination is concerned. But his friends declare that a good veto message will hold his popularity in the East and that he may recover good-will in the West before the summer of 1928.
Adjournment is Delayed After six hours of argument over the bill, efforts were made for our journalists to attack the bill defeated the motion. Representative Tincher of Kansas, Republican, objected to the "steamerwheel" tactics of the supporters for the bill, since they for appointments to be considered.
Representative Tilson of Connecticut, Republican, made serious objections to the bill on the grounds that it would lead to harmful speculation and held great possibilities for graft and speculation.

Preliminary Plans for Junior Prom Are Made Public
Party Will Be Informal Managers Decide; Date of Dance Is March 4
The Junior Prem will be an informal party this year, according to Murray Danglgee, c28, and Bill Meier, c19. This arrangement was made purely because the K.-U.K., S.A. C, basketball game is scheduled for the same night, and the managers decided to come in with a large group, a great many to attend. Also, Danglgee, they want as many as possible to come and have a good time, and it was thought that the men would not have to wear formal dress.
The party will be March 4 at F. A. U. Hall, from 9 to 1 o'clock. The music will be furnished by the Koury-Friederik 10-piece orchestra.
Novely dances will be a feature of the evening, and the managers are doing everything possible to make the event enjoyable. Government for everyone who attends.
"We expect to make it a red brook party," said Danglade. "It will be an curvilinear dance with favors of all kinds, horns, confetti and rateles."
All the plans for the decorations have not been completed yet, but will be quite elaborate and will be symbolic of spring.
The managers are still under-dued to mother to admit seniors who attended her prom last year at reduced prices, and the school has been customary in former years.

Nicaraguan State Is Discussed by Prof. H.B. Chubb

Prof. H. B. Chub, instructor in the
political science department and a
close student of international affairs,
he when he indicated that he would
be Christian Church Thursday
sunday, on the present Nicaraguan
situation.

Professor John Lennon was a former States as expressed by farmer Secretary of State Hughes, is that we will never recognize that which has come into power by force. If we follow the same pattern for Diax as president of Nicaragua"
Professor Clubs gave a brief history of the affairs of the United States with Nicaragua. In 1906 there was a chronic condition of revolution in that country. The United States persuaded the Central American countries then to collude under its maverick president and to support their affairs. In 1909 two Americans were killed and we broke off affairs with Nicaragua.
About this time Dina came in and established such friendly relations with the French, who he pailed to this country when a revolution threatened to dive him of his office and Secretary of State Knox and Minister, which stayed there until 1925.
A treaty to pay Neagucurus $3,000,000 for an option in perpetuity on a canal route for a naval base, and for two islands commanding the central coast, was first submitted to the senate in 1917.

Following the address, the meeting was thrown open for questions and discussion, as it was about a month ago when Professor Chubl led discussion of the same question before the Y. M. C. A. student Forum.
Dance Energy Measured
Scientists Figure Calories Used in Various Steps
Washington, Feb. 18- Hostresses should lay in a heavy supply of refreshments, when they expect to entertain guests who like to display their Charleston proficiency. An account of an exhaustive survey of the energy consumed in dancing made by a group of Scandinavian scientists at UCLA's School of Dance, the diversity of Heinekeners, has just been received here which sets down in precise figures the number of calories used in different kinds of dances.
The waltz went to the bottom of the list with 3,93 calories used per hour per kilogram of body weight. The schottchen, beloved of grandfather and grandmother, scored 0.2 of a point below the modern fist,用4,76 calorie for the lower left. The pelota, another institution of grandmother's day, needed 7,56 calories an hour while the maurizka, the fastest the dance the learned Scandinavians could get anyone to practice for them, took 10.87 calories, or almost twice the amount of energy burned by a stonecutter plying his trade.
It obviously remains for some American research worker to find out the number of calories that need to be burned by the Christopher and the Black Bottom.
