|j When Hitchcock Puts
Figures on Record.
WASHINGTON, Jan 10.—Senator
iitchcock today stirred up a storm
n. the senate by putting into the
ecord figures on the intercollegiate
>olls on the peace treaty.
Hitchcock’s figures showed, he
aid, that of 158,000 votes cast by
itudents and faculty members, TOO,-
00 favored either unqualified ratifi
cation or interpretative reservations,
vhile only 27,000 favored the Lodge
eservatione.
Senator McCormick, Illinois, asserted
hat the vote among colleges “was ,a
ibepherded vote.” The league to en
oree peace, he declared, sent speakers
o Um college to speak in favor of the
reaty and the league of nations, while
he other side of the question was not
• resented.
■OINTB TO DEFEAT
>F CLEMENCEAU.
“Senators should not forget the result
if other votes, cast at elections In vari
>us states recently,” shouted McCormick.
•Xot should they overlook the vote in
he French assembly, where M. Desehanel
ivas elected president over Premier Cle
iienceau, who helped write this treaty.”
Senator Sutherland said that In ad
lition to the Americans wfip go about
ecturing In support of the treaty, “chore
ire a number of distinguished Britishers
vtfb have come to tell the American peo
>ie their duty.”
By this time the senate was in tn
nult. Senator Edge finally made lilm
ielf heard and said Hitchcock was try
ug to claim for the democrats all the
redlt for compromise efforts.
CLAIMS O. O. F.
PLAN'S COMPROMISE.
‘‘Every compromise move has come
rsm this side,” said Edge.
Senator Nelson, referring to the col
ege poll, asked if “senators are to use
heir own judgment, or be dummies?”
McCormick referred to Herbert Hoo
per's recent statement that the treaty
•ondemns Austria to perpetual civil war,
tnd got into a lengthy dispute over the
>olnt with Senator King, Utah.
Senator Brandegee, Connecticut, pre
setting a petition from the China so
ciety asking that senators stand firmly
for the Shantung reservations, observed.
"I will refrain from asking that it be
submitted to a straw vote of the college
boys of the country.”
A demand for the regular order of
business ended the discussion at this
paint.
HAPPY MARRIAGE
SCHOOL NEWEST
THING FOR GIRLS
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 20.—Two full
semester's work in "happy marriages” is
a required course for all co-eds at Cot
ner university, a denominational college
of the Christian church In Bethany, a
suburb of Lincoln. The bourse is given
by Mrs. A. D. Harmon, dean of women
and wife of the chancellor.
The girls first study, the relationship
of boys and girls before engagement and
the effect of conversation, conduct and
amusements on co-sex life. Then they
study the significance or engagements,
what topics engaged couples should dis
cuss, expressions of endearment, the sig
nificance ot late hours and the so-called
“spooning.”
Asa result of the course, according to
Mrs. Harmon, the girls in the present
year class have ruled against low-necked
nnd sleeveless dresses, but have approved
short skirts as tending to graceful ap
pearance and unimpeded movement.
In the study of babies during the last
semester, the girls have found by sta
tistics that four children make up an
ideal family— two to take the place of
the father and mother, and two to allow"
for deaths and to add to the race.
Os the forty-six girls in last year’s
classes, thirty-six named "love” and “a
cosy fireplace” as the two requisites of
a happy married life.
The courses have become so popular
that the men have asked for a similar
course.
