PROHIBITION THROWS TREATY IN SHADOW
Is Evident Dry Law Will Place Treaty in Minor Place
Continue to Talk Treaty
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCHE, TUESDAY AFTERNOON. MARCH 9 1990
Believe Beer and Light Wine Is. sue Paramount in Public Mind
Washington, March 2- Prohibition enforcement may overshadow the treaty as the big issue of the presidential campaign, according to developments of the last few days in the political situation.
As it becomes increasingly evident that the senate is not likely to tak final action on the treaty and that the senate will need to move the campaign there is an apparent movement to dwarf it by injecting prohibition into the fight. This movement is believed to have the backing of some who do not want the treaty to be moved.
Their belief is that prohibition would overshadow the treaty. This would be particularly true, it is held, if the two parties want to camp on the wetlands in both favoring reservations. But the clear cut issue of beer and light wine for home consumption as against the present strict enforcement of dry laws would get to the public mind at once and enlist the public interest so that the treaty would be regulated in minor place these politicians argued.
The senate today continued to talk treaty with an agreement to vote at 2 o'clock on reservation Number 4 covering domestic questions.

Boston, March 2—Late returns from the sixtyfour towns which held annual elections yesterday showed that thirty-three voted in favor of the sale of liquor. These towns had voted no licenses for years.
Leaders of the Prohibition force and the town officials held that the "yes" vote on the question, "shall intoxicating liquor be sold?" is significant only as an expression of opinion.
The "yes" vote gained heavily in nearly all towns. The vote for liquor doubles that of last year in many states, and the anti-alcohol vacates lost ground.

FEB. 1920 DRY MONTH
Only Exceeded by Two Other Months for Lack of Precipitation

It was one of the driest Feburaries on record with two-tenth of an inch of snow on the 24th and a snow squall on the 25th making a total precipitation of 22 inch.

K. U. Actors Accordeed Appreciative Reception by Crowded House
Given By Dramatic Club
Farce Plot Woven About Two Strangers Stranded Over Night Together
Honest hazel eyes, coupled with a wonderfully developed ability to lie, mixed with two jealous wives and stirred with coincidence, makes an ideal farcalic combination, if the reception recorded by the audience to Mrs. Temple's Telegram, the annual Dramatic Staged last night, is an indication
The entire house at the Browserc Theater was sold out to an audience which showed its appreciation of what was, according to Hill dramatic critics, one of the most successful plays ever presented by the Dramatic Club.
The farce, the plot of which is woven about two strangers forced to pass the night in the car of a Ferris wheel, stumps them and into continual storms of merriment.
Maren Sawyer, as Mrs. Temple, the doubling but loving wife of Jack Temple, carried her part as a member of London's high social circles in a natural and convincing manner. A bouquet of American Beauty roses presented to Miss Sawyer indicated the appreciation of the audience
Jack Temple, the victim of circum-
stances and co-incidences, was played
masterfully by Webb Wilson. As the
bedragged and apologetic victim of
the abuse he witnessed, the soci-
ety gentleman, he equally well
controlled the situation.
Bob Robertson, as the eminent and proficient liar, Mr. Frank Fuller, succeeded in extricting the principals from their unfortunate entanglements with ease, yet without neglecting the very apparent humorous element offered by his capacity as peacemaker—for others, if not for himself.
Dorothy Brandle and Karl Brown, as Mrs. and Mr. John Brown, were the humorous hits of the play. Miss Brandle, in the character part of the cockeye "lady", and Mr. Brown as an "umble airbirds," in spite of their comparatively short appearances, were accorded the biggest rounds of individual applauses of the performance.
Dorothy Matticks, protesting the part of the man, Frank Fuller, the unknown "married lady in the car," showed excellent work in use, in addition to great dramatic ability in susuces of a part of a young but ex acting wife.
In spite of a conventional butler's part, with a few varations, Fred Stringfellow as Wigson gave a decidedly destructive and unusual impersonation, which was appreciated by the audience.
"The play was one of the most sat isfactory we have ever presented, said Prof. Arthur Macmurray, who coached the production, "Severi which came up to paring the play were admirably solved by the cast."
A rough-coursed love affair between Mrs. Temple's sister and Captain Sharp of His Majesty's Service finished an interesting diversion from the main plot, and led to several amusing incidents. Marguerite Adams and Herman Fleming played the parts convincingly.
Washington, Mar. 2. "The senate today adopted the original Lodge reserve providing that the United States reserves to itself the right to decide what are domestic questions over which it will not permit the Longue of Nations to have jurisdiction.

Peculiar People Populate Planet?
Just now the newspaper astronomers seem to have another obsession concerning Mars. They are periodic according to Prof. J. S. D. Alters by each of these scientists and inhabited. Again Professor Alters says we could not live in the planet for more than a fifth of a second. It is certain, the Martian would need some such substance as alcohol or mercury instead of water. He would have to exist on a fifth the air there is on the highest mountain on the earth. He would have it as air frozen during the cold winters.
"Is it not queer the amount of ink and brain action, certainly not thought that was wasted on this subject?" Pro. Alter asked.
LAWRENCE WILL HAVE GENCY FOR AIRPLANE
Former Athletic Director Adds Airplane to His Automobile Business
Lawrence has the latest, W. O. Hamilton, former director of athletics, at the University has established an agency for the Standard Airplane The announcement was made Monday afternoon at which time he made a trip over Lawrence in a standard plane owned by Dr. John Outland of Kansas City, Mo. Bills were scattered from the plane during the flight.

Officials are Perplexed On Anti-Trust Decisio
Washington, March 2.—Government officials were perplexed as to what further action should be taken by the department of justice in the light of the supreme court decision holding that the U. S. Steel Corporation was not a combination in violation of the anti-trust law.
The belief of some of the leading lawyers of the department of justice was that he decision virtually nullified the Sherman anti-trust law under which two big dissolution decrees, those of Standard Oil and American Tobacco, had been ordered by the supreme court. This was the view expressed by the justices dissenting from the opinion.

CHERRINGTON CONFERS WITH "CON" HOFFMAN
June 11-21 is Date Set by Y. M.
C. A. for Estes Park
Conference
Hopes K. U. Will Send Forty
Kansas Delegation Last Year Was Very Noticeable, Secretary Says
"The K. U. delegation to the conference last year was very noticeable," said Mr. Cherrington. "They completely filled the front row at meetings and led in all activities of the conference as well as in the number of delegates. We were sufficiently optimistic about this year's delegation from here to reserve the two chairs, whom we are meant to come up to our expectations forty delegates must come from the University of Kansas and they must come early as these rows are popular with the men."
Mr. Cherrington announced the date of the Eates Park Conference at Estes Park, Colorado on June 11 to discuss earlier than usual for the conference.
Ben Cherrington, international secretary for the Student, M. C. A. of the Rocky Mountain section spent Monday here in conference with "Con Hoffman and others interested in M. C. A. activities of the University."
There will be two outstanding features of the conference this year, according to Mr. Cherrington. One will be a special conference for editors of college papers and presidents of student organizations. Many of the schools will send these men in their delegation. The second feature will be the special conference for cultural officers and faculty members. The purpose will be to get together to discuss the present world situation and methods by which the faculty can help in the moral development of the students.
Mr. Cherrington, in connection with his work in the schools of this section, I find some things rather discouraging through the west but on account of the nature of the general throughout the country. The lack of a sense of responsibility and the overestimated desire for excitement and pleasure are the most outstanding features of these. They are also evident at the high tension of war days".
But on the other hand I find college men are more vitally interested in world issues than in pre-war wars. Before the war these men lived in a campus, where they did their older sisters of the campus. This is also true of members of the faculty."
SLIDES EXPLAIN TESTS
Prof. Seashore Shows How to Measure Time, Pitch and Memory
Professor Seashore of the University of Iowa told of his experiences in his laboratory and among the children of Iowa City in devising instruments with which to measure the quality of the so-called musical ear, in the "Psychology of Music" delivered in the Fashion Hall Monday afternoon.
He has made hundreds of tests among the school children, and found a vast difference among the pupils in their sensitivity to pitch.
"Musical talent consists of the ability to know and express the characteristics of sound," said Professor Seashore. "A biddy to know and control pitch, time, and intensity is an acurate way of measuring it."
Lantern slides, showing different instruments and charts with which to measure, time, pitch, memory, and consonance, which Professor Seashore uses in his laboratory tests. were shown on slide made by the professor for testing these qualities were tried out directly to the audience.
Slides depicting photographic plates of the tone waves of different musical instruments, such as the violin, cello, and French horn were also shown.
