Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 18. The railway brotherhood chiefs today were unexpectedly summoned to a conference with the railway labor board in Chicago on Thursday. In making the announcement, Warren Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, intimated that he would be held here tomorrow to complete plans for the nationwide transportation strike was indefinitely postponed.
Stone said that he had received a telegram from Chicago requesting his presence there, and that he and G. W. Lee, president of the brotherhood of railway trammen, would leave for that city soon.
a Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the brotherhood of locomotive engineers, voiced this opinion when he said:
"The railroad executives can settle the dispute before the government can prevent a strike. The executives won't talk over the situation, and we gave them our final word at the Chicago conference. Taking over of the railroads by the government therefore only woke up of preventing the strike, scheduled to begin October 30."
At the meeting of the five principal union leaders here tomorrow, primarily to plan the conduct of the general strike, it was intimated that the possibility of interference by the union would be the principal subject discussed.
Steps to avert the threatened railroad strike were taken today. Warren S. Stone, head of the brotherhood of locomotive engineers, announced in Cleveland that he and his assistant to Chicago to meet the rail board Thursday. The council of union leaders in Cleveland has been called off but President Harding placed the railroad crisis before his cabinet and the government be demanded will Fall expected to be decided at this meeting.
It was learned that certain congressmen are preparing to make speeches hitting both railroad heads and union leaders, to force the government to grant them concessions they have long sought. The government, it was made known, will not be influenced by either side.
Advices to the United Press today from cities all over the country indicate there is no feeling of apprehension about providing in- lay in stores of provisions.

Juvenile, straight teenage, elderly, college prof and many other kinds of characterization roles make up the casts. In addition to these, there are several straight leads that will also afford a chance to exhibit some real dramatic ability. "It is the most valuable and hardest part of acting."

BLACKMAR'S TEXT IS QUOTED
hows That Science and Religion Go Hand in Hand
The following article was published in the Epworth Herald for October 6, 1921. It is quoted from the text, "Outlines of Sociology" which was written by Dean Blackmar of the department of sociology in this university. This quotation is just another citation of the fact that Science and Religion go hand in hand.
"Pessimism has won no victories. Religion has at least the advantage that it has proved to be a working force." Of sociology "by Blackmar and Gillis"
"Why does not the universe, if it is a chaos of blind forces—implant in man by the process of natural selection a working belief that the dominating power of the world is bad rather than good, that progress is impossible, that faith is vain and that all is vanity?"
"What is it in the nature of things which makes faith a better characteristic from the standpoint of survival than doubt; belief better than skepticism, confidence that rightness is stronger than wrong; confidence that life is better than belief in the possibility of progress better than a philosophy of despair?

The impending national railroad strike by the four railway brotherhoods, the Locomotive Engineers, the Conductors, the Firemen, and the Braakengn, threatens to put the country in a serious predicament if it is called by the heads of the brotherhoods, and will effect this region with equal force according to Professor Ansan, of the department of economics.
Threatened Rail Strike May Mean Curtailing of Pleasure Riding To Conserve Gasoline
The situation is critical because such a strike will leave the nation without its food supply at a time when the railroads are doing heavy hauling of grain and other products from the agricultural regions. This would at first eliminate this section from this danger, according to Professor Jensen, but the cutting off of the fuel of gasoline with the freight carriers idle, would prevent hauling of bydles and marts, thus equally paralyzing us locally with other regions out of the agricultural district who might otherwise have truck freightage assured.
For this reason pleasure driving in motor cars should be curtailed immediately, if strict measures are to be taken for the guarantee of continuous food supply, even at the sacrifice of other less important necessities such as coal and other fuels. In July, wages were increased on the Railroad Labor Board has just ordered a twelve percent reduction in freight
Former Professor Heads Oil Survey in Mexico
Dr. Wintroph R, Haynes, formerly an associate professor here in the department of geology, and Ray Walters, c20, are with a party which is carrying out the investigation of the possibilities of oil production in Senora, Mexico, for the Standard Oil Company. The region of Senora is a new country in the development of oil possibilities and the region of oil deposits are not definitely known.
Doctor Haynes is at the head of the party which is composed mostly of former University students.
"MORE COURAGE" SAYS ALLEN
Governor Would Have State Stronger to Act
"The government should create at once a federal tribunal to agitate the present controversy and to protect the public against a cessation of transportation. In the meantime the swiftness of governmental courage in should at least equal the swiftness of governmental covarday in 1918."
New Rural High School Dedication at Mille
Topeka, Oct. 18.—The government should have the courage to re-establish its rights to protect the public. "We are witnessing what may be the last chapter in the gloomy story which was begun when the railroad labor board chieftain coerced a time-moon into passage of the *Bamon law*.
Prof. F. P. O'Brien of the Bureau of School Service of the University was the principal speaker at the de-
signation event and high school at Miller last Thursday.
"We are confronting similar conditions," he declared, "and the remedy is to be found in a fearless government. President Wilson declared that the government should establish an impartial and authoritative tribunal which would clutch the protection of the government to the public and in a position to guarantee justice." The case was a significant example. The present situation again emphasizes the need to which President Wilson called the attention of congress after the threat of the general strike of 1916 had frightened into action the governor who have gone upon the statute books.
Warren Pearson, A.M.'19, superintendent of the high school, has two assistants.
There are forty pupils enrolled in the school at present. Thirty of these enrolled are first year students, which gives promise of a much larger high school with entering classes of that size. The building is brick having five clas rooms, a gymnasium and an auditorium.
rates. Rail union heads have demanded that this rate reduction be increased to twenty-two percent rather than make any further reduction in wages than that made in July. Railroad owners insist rather, that no further reduction in freight rates be made, and that another lowering of wages be instituted. This would reduce the fractionations with the threat of the brotherhoods to declare a nation-wide strike.
In the opinion of Professor Jensen, the reduction in freight rates is more advisable, since such a means would eventually reduce the general cost of living and make the wages of wearer a dollar worth more.
"I believe the threatened strike is mostly a bluff to prevent further reduction of waves," said Professor Jensen. "The members of the brotherships have worked too long for their jobs to let someone take their place in the event of a walkout of long duration. However, if the strike is declared, it will most probably be 100 percent."
Also, in the case of the tying up of the railroads, the government will have to take a strong hand in distributing the food supply in the larger cities. The club is in the hands of the union men if they really intend to make good their threat. Otherwise, the railroad owners may continue their stand and force the brotherships to give in.

PARIS, Oct. 17—Miladi, who owns a string of costly pearls, is often worried when her gems appear to be lacking in lustre. Don't worry, miladi. All they need is a trip to the beauty parlor. There your pearls will be massaged back into perfect health.
Society women in Paris have been greatly perturbed of late by reports that perfumes and powders eat away the "life" of pearls. It is a fact that certain perfumes have a deleterious effect on the gems, but, according to Leonard Rosenthal, a remedy is easy. Leonard Rosenthal, who stands in the forefront of these experts, explained the nature of the "disease" and the "cure.'
Sick Pearls May Be Massaged To Health
"A pear," he said, "is a composition. It consists of thousands of concentric envelopes formed within the oyster. The outer envelope may be affected by the acidity of the wearer's skin, by dust or differences in temperature. All powders used by women contain a certain amount of resin and can harden instantly, percentibly burrows under the outer envelope and repolishing with a special powder, the composition of which is a secret of the trade. All I can say is that powdered rubes enter into its makeup.
"The removal of the pearl's skin is a delicate operation. It is done by a specialist. He works in a way similar to that of the 'beauty specialists' before making over a wrinkle face, remove the worm-out epidis.mis."
All girls interested in the organization of a hiking club will meet at Myers Hall, Wednesday, October 19, at 4:30 o'clock.

Wickedest Buffalo Executed by Owner
Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 18—(United Press.) —Geronimo, the wickedest dun baffalo bull that ever lowered his shaggy head, is dead. Geronimo was owned by Charles Irwin, of the Y-6 ranch.
But Geronimo's meanness increased with age. Wire fences meant nothing to him, and the buffalo became a common sight on many ranches. Naturally, when he came to the residence, as their cattle escaped through the gaps in the fences, Reports of badly gored cattle came to Iwain, and one morning a particularly fine bull was found dismembered. A few hours later, a man caught and killed his head matted with blood.
And so, on circumstantial evidence,
the big buffalo was executed by Irwin.
His head, with its wickedly gleaming
eyes hangs on the wall of the living
room of the Y-6 ranch house. is hide
makes a beautiful rug.
“And his spirit,” reads the signboard above his grave, erected by cowbones on the Y-6, “is to be found among the phantom horns of Paradise, where Geronimo, the bionn incarnation of a monster of the dead, is surrounded and fence-walking and treacherous charges, to find happiness in the society of his kind.”
