There is little agitation in Congress on either question

In sentences which, like his exe statements on tax reduction and the bonus, defied distortion or misunderstanding in his attitude, Mr. Coolidge said that;
The League of Nations is "a closed incident" so far as the United States is concerned.
the tarif' law has produced "abounding prosperity" and should not be tinkered with.
Congress should immediately provide for revision of freight rates.
Permissive consolidation of rail-roads should be authorized, to be followed, if necessary, by compulsory consolidation.
The farmers must help themselves out of their troubles, aided to a degree by the government.
Selective immigration with registration of aliens should be adopted. Muscle Shoals should be sold to soldiers who will produce cheap fertilizer.
Every citizen should help uphold the prohibition law.
The negro question should b. decide with at once by Congress, the government be given emergency powers to prevent fuel families and
The army and navy should be strengthened:
The Monroe Doctrine should be upheld.
Congress and his administration face the duty, the President said, of developing and supporting the Harding policies."
Russia cannot be recognized until she repents.
The president finished at 1:35, having spoken one hour and four minutes.
Mr. Coolidge opened his message with an announcement to Congress of the death of President Harding, and paid his predecessor this tribute: "He has left his mark upon history. He has made justice more certain and peace more secure."

Commerce Commission Succeeds in Supplying Cars for Wheat Crop
Congestion and Waste During Season Has Prevailed for Years
(United Press)
Washington, Dec. 6—The Interstate Commerce Commission has been very successful in supplying cars for the movement of the wheat crop from the west, eastward, this year. For years there has been a shortage of box cars, with the rest remaining in waste, coagitation and waste.
In April, the car service department of the commission ordered that all box cars of western ownership in circulation on eastern lines be required to have them if they were available. The western roads were forbidden to return cars of eastern ownership, unless they were loaded. The object of this was to accumulate cars in the west to maintain the yearly movement of grain.
This movement begins with the winter wheat of the Panhandle of Texas and moves northward through Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas. The crop is slowly loowed by the spring wheat crop of the states still farther north. The plan was very successful. There was an abundance of cars in the West, the crop was moved quickly and without the usual trouble.
The order was cancelled Nov. 1, when all danger of a shortage of cars was past. It is expected that the order will be given again next November.
Eastern roads were not greatly inconvenienced by the order, because the area was largely rural stock of eastern ownership, they were able to satisfy all eastern demands.

Lindley Addresses Executive Meeting of Insurance Mer
"Education Should Maintain and Advance Values of Civilization," Says Chancellor
New York, Dec. 6. "Modern education is a gigantic enterprise in insurance; it is an attempt to control the future," said E. H. Lindley, chancellor of the University of Kansas, speaking at the opening session of the seventeenth annual convention of the American Association Presidents here this morning: "Education exists to maintain and advance the values of civilization," said Chancellor Lindley. These values of civilization are three: security, wealth, and variety of experiences. The first two hold the gains of the past; the third makes progress possible. The weaknesses of civilization must be tackled with hard knowledge in the sciences that do directly with human life.
Surveyed Human History
"Less than a minute ago by that clock, Bacon launched upon the tide of time the scientific method. Steam began to work for man only 30 seconds ago, and what a mighty revolution steam has wrought.
Surveyed Human History
Two units of the accelerated learning and progress, the Chancellor made a brief survey of human history, covering, he said, the earliest civilizations.
"The great discovery of the ages is this; that science is in sight of the laws whereby men may win complete control of the mind. Within a measurable number of generations we know how to produce human beings who may think only useful thoughts, constructive thoughts, inspiring thoughts."
"I imagine a clock dial. Imagine as living at 12 o'clock high noon. Allow 20,000 years to the hour. Twelve months, then allow 40 million years of human life. We have no written record of anything that happened until after half past eleven on that clock. The Greeks began a long-lasting tradition begun at 29 minutes to 12. The Greeks, the first people to use their minds freely—the Greeks who gave us the Golden Age of Pericles, lived in Athens and—King Tudor tugged eight minutes ago.

Progress Found New Frontiers "Thus, progress has hurried us onto three new fronties: the frontier of external nature; the frontier of the mind; and the frontier of the new social order.
Washington, Dec. 6, (U.P.)—President Coolidge's message to Congress today bristled with crisp, pithy sentences. Here are some of them:

Board Ratifies Motion Changing Date of Missouri Game to Saturday
No further action has been taken by athletic authorities of the University in connection with the rumored breaking of football relations with the Agries, according to Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics.
Further action will be taken at the meeting of Missouri Valley officials, coaches and athletic director Robert A. Cunningham on sunday.

On Saturday, the annual Thanksgiving day game with Missouri to the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving was also taken up. The motion was unanimously ratified by the board, and further action left to the authorities of Missouri.
It is expected that the Kansas- Aggie situation will be cleared up then and that it will be finally decided whether or not relations will be severed. Representatives from the Aggie school will be present and will confer with Doctor Allen at that time.
"We hope to have the date changed," said Doctor Allen this morning, "but if the Missouri universities want to play the game at Columbia next year on Thanksgiving day we will have no objection. We want to cut out games on holidays, and hope that we will be able to do so. I feel sure that the Missourians in the matter, but we will play at Columbia on Thanksgiving if necessary."

M. Swarthout. Richard Larmore; Treasurer: Klar K洛rz.
Send Money to Hoffman
The decision of the executive committee in regard to the disposal of the money contributed was that all should be sent directly to Conrad Hoffman to be used in the Student Relief Work in Europe as he sees fit. Exceptions will be made where the money is not being used elsewhere. "This decision was made," said Marie Russ, chairman of the committee, "because we felt that the money would be better spent there than anywhere else. However, if there are any students who desire that money be used for other purpose, they may indicate such and we will see that the money is used that way.
The Friendship Fund will be raised this year as it was last year by the sale of Christmas candles. At established places on the campus, a number of these stores as last year, those houses which can show a one hundred per cent contribution from its members will be given a pair of large blue travertine candles. Last year only one candle was given to each house, but the two companies most likely used to use them in pairs, two were more appropriate.
Will Vary Program
The committee working on the plans for the Christmas Tree say that the event shall be somewhat different from the previous ones. If they other permits, the program will be held in the gymnasium and will be held in the gymnasium. The program as yet is incomplete and will be announced later.
According to the committee in charge of the serenade it is likely that the serenaders will go in a group from one place to another in a truck. This was thought advisable as it would allow the ground more readily and would provide better music for the one hundred per cent houses.
