DR, SHERMAN SAYS PEOPLE
MAY INCREASE LIFE SPAN
Greater Purchasing Power
Would Add 7 Years to
Existence.
NEW YORK. (ACP). If the
Targe numbers of people had
sigher purchasing power, they
could increase their life span by
at least seven years.
That is what Dr. Henry C.
Sherman, Mitchell professor of
chemistry at Columbia university,
told the Academy of Medicine.
They would be able to take full
advantage of new knowledge in
the field of nutrition, he said
advantage that could aid them in
warding off disease as well as
senility.
"Undoubtedly the great major
ity of all people will be benefited,
the general level of the public
health will be raised, and the av
erages of our vital statistics im
proved at many points by the
simple taking of a larger propor
tion of the needed nutritional cal
ories in the form of the protective
foods.
"Naturally, we also hope that
a larger proportion of people will
soon have ampler purchasing
power. We realize that right rela
tions between purchasing power
and the general level of prices is
essential to the ability of any
community to get the full benefit
of any new knowledge of nutri
tion," he explained.
"For it is now clear to any one
who will study the evidence that
nutrition has greater constructive
potentiality than science has fore
seen, and that even in the every
day choice of food we are dealing
with values which are above price
for the health and efficiency, du
ration and dignity of human life."
K A STERN COLLEGES
TO STUDY WAR, PEACE
Ilobarl, William Smith
Initiate New Course
In Citizenship. '
GENEVA, N. Y. (ACPI. To get
behind the complexion of war and
reveal Its underlying causes is the
purpose of the new course, "War
and Peace'' which will be added
to the curriculum of Hobart and
William Smith colleges next year.
The courses will offer a scien
tific scrutiny of the cultural fac
tors, the economic conditions and
nationalistic politics which fre
quently lead to armed strife, an
nounced Dr. William Alfred Eddy,
president.
"War and Peace" will be elec
tive to juniors in completing their
four year study of citizenship re
quired of students at both col
leges who are working for their
bachelor's degree.
How provoking incidents cause
war or may be prevented from
causing war will be studied. Ex
amples such as the assassination
of Archduke Ferdinand at Sara
jevo, the invasion of Manchuria
and Ethiopia and foreign inter
vention in Spain will be con
sidered. The war study will be divided
into three p--rts. the first dealing
with the 1913 pre-war period. Ef
forts will be mP'.Ie to determine
the effects of isolation and alli

Two earthquakes that shook the
Miami university campus on suc
cessive days, not long ago, threw
a tasting scare into Professor Clos,
a lecturer in accounting.
"Last week," said the professor
to bis students, "my class was in
terrupted by an earthquake." His
hands trembled a he spoke.
"Last night while I was prepar
ing the lecture for this class, my
desk got up and started to hop
across the room, another earth
quake." The windows of the room rat
tled gently. "Good heavens, what's
that?" he whispered hoarsely.
"Just a truck going past," came
from a bored voice in the back of
the room.

By Bernice Kaufman.
In "Three Worlds," Carl Van
Doren combines autobiography and
literary history just as Malcolm
Cowley did in "Exiles Return."
Both writers consider, in the main,
the generation of writers and
critics which arose between 1910
and the present day. Van Doren
calls them the "younger genera
tion" while Cowley referred to
them as the "lost generation."
There is a subtle distinction in
this variation of terminology which
Is the basis of their respective
viewpoints, and which is accounted
for by the fact that each moved
in a very different circle of that
literary vortex.
Malcolm Cowley was associated
with the magazines "Broom" and
"Masses." His associates in Amer
ica were such writers as John Dos
Fassos, Ernest Hemingway, Hart
Crane, Harry Crosby, Edmund
Wilson and Ernest Boyd. He was
for a time one of the expatriates,
and in France, as one of the de
votees of French symbolism, he
knew Paul Valery and Tristan
Tzara. Van Doren, Ph. D., on
the other hand, was literary editor
of the "Nation" under the Villard
regime. His close associates are
his brother, Mark, Joseph Wood
Krutch and Ludwig Lewisohn.
Coming from the academic world
he was greatly interested in the
Paul Elmer Moore, Stuart Sher
man Mencken, Dreiser squabble.
New Literary Age.
To Van Doren a new age of
literature evolved when journal
ists and not college professors
were accepted as authoritative
critics by the periodicals. It is the
work of such writers as Henry
Branch Cabell, Van Wyck Brooks,
Edgar Lee Masters, Edwin Arling
ton Robinson, Robert Frost, Sin
clair Lewis, Edna St. Vincent Mil
lay and Elinor Wylie, writers for
the most part concerned with the
American scene, that Van Doren
came into association with as edi
tor of the "Nation," and later of
the "Century."
While Van Doren is an ardent
advocate of the new literature it
is distinctly the right wing of that
literature that he belongs to. Cow
ley is definitely a member of the
left. As both men depend so much
upon personal experience in their
presentation, both are needed to
form the complete picture of con
temporary American literature.
Dullness a Villain.
Van Doren lacks much of the
vigor and spontaneity of Cowley,
but his restraint suggests careful
ness of detail. Cowley's book was
impressionistic; Van Doren's is ex
pressionistie. One is often too con
scious that it is Van Doren the
scholar that is talking rather than
Van Doren the artist, but the rem
iniscences lift "Three Worlds" be
yond mere literary history. It is
this very subjectiveness that en
ables Van Doren to see, as Cowley
does not, that: "Dullness has come
to be a villain, as sin had once
been. Melodrama still lived."
Meteorologists Name
St. Petersburg, Fla.
U. S.'s Sunniest City
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. (ACP).
When St. Petersburg, Fla., was
nr.med the sunniest spot in Amer
ica by Harvard univesity meteor
ologists, California cities were put
in the shade at least relatively.
Data of the scientists ended the
long controversy between Florida
and California by showing that
St. Petersburg averages fewer
than five sunless days a year.
The sunniest spot in the west
is the California-Arizona border,
which has more than 300 clear
days a year.
Thi information is only a por
tion of that gathered by Harvard
meteorologists in completing, with
government scientists, the first
"encyclopaedia" of climatic con
ditions of North America and the
West Indies ever made.

SYMPATHY strikes were called
Wednesday in the American Gen
eral Motors plants as an outgrowxn
of the G. M. strike in Oshawa. At
the request of Premier Hepburn
the labor minister and attorney
general of the provincial govern
ment have resigned because of
their opposition of the premier's
attitude toward John L. Lewis'
C.I.O. which is attempting to
unionize the Canadian plant. Os
hawa's mayor wants loyalty to
3.700 strikers in Canada. National
boundary lines mean nothing to
Mr. Lewis, the premier has indi
cated, and his organization is
tainted with communistic elements.
Should trouble of any physical na
ture arise, the Canadian "moun
ties" should be able to curb it, if
they really are as superior as the
films portray them.

Charlie Mlegel, Hunker boxer,
dropped a close decision Wednes
day to Edgar Waling of Detroit in
the 126 pound finals of the na
tional A. A. U. fist tournament

outsmarting Ilershel Joiner, Cin
cinnati Negro, In a fast thro,e
rotind engagement.
The Miegel-Waling battle was
hotly contested from start to fin
ish. Wahling's activenesg and the

the victory over his scrappy op
ponent. East and west split tour

Philadelphia squads each came
thru the contest with three new
kings.

No one on the campus but Dr.

secret.
"I have been examining students

gains achieved by the unicameral
were best summed up recently by
the speaker of the house. He re
garded the five outstanding fea
tures of the one house to be (1)
the absence of hasty legislation,
(2) the five day notice of public
hearing before standing commit
tees, (31a better personnel, attrib
utable to the non-polltlcal ballot,
(4) the general publicity which
the legislature has been given and
(5) the right of a single member
to demand a roll call vote on any
motion, thus placing every mem
ber on the spot. Dr. Sennlng's
warning was that the people of the
state must see to it that only men
of high caliber are elected to
membership In the unicameral.
At the closing noon luncheon at
the University club the group
heard an Informal address by Prof.
Frederick C. Dietz of the Univer

HAL KEMP USES
TELEGRAPH BRASS
AS RAND MOTTO
Don't write . . . telegraph.
That's Hal Kemp's motto. This
ace band leader on the Chester
field's Friday radio show sends
dance rhythms over the air with
what he calls "telegraph brass."
This unusual type of orchestra
tion gives the brass section a spe
cial rhythmic accent . . . tunefully
tap-tapping the famous Kemp
tempo in a way that makes it just
about the most danceable music
you can find anywhere. By long
practice the band Is able to give
the music plenty of variety as
well thru the use of many varied
tune patterns.
Voted Nation's Best.
Perhaps the best proof of the
superiority of the Kemp tempo is
the recent opinion of America's
leading teachers of popular danc
ing, who, in a national poll, se
lected Hal Kemp as the best dance
band leader for the second suc
cessive year.
Kay Thompson, First Lady of
Rhythm, appears on the Chester
field show with Hal Kemp every
Friday at 7:30 o'clock c.s.t, In
company with her rhythm singers.
Miss Thompson has had excel
lent musical training and orig
inates her own vocal arrange
ments, always individual In style.
She has developed a way of pre
senting popular songs with a
mixed chorus that obtains the har
mony and rhythm similar to that
of the best dance orchestras. Even
Hal Kemp, long a master of star
tling effects, says he Is constantly
amazed at Kay Thompson's clever
presentations. Listeners to the
Chesterfield program find that
they can dance as easily to the
music of the rhythm singers as
to the music of the band.

FUTURE WAR VETERANS
CEASE ALL ACTIVITIES
National Commanders Say
Cause Deserted for
Other Business.
PRINCETON, N. J. (ACP). The
Veterans of Future Wars move
ment, started a year ago, by
Princeton University students to
satirize the Harrison Bonus Bill,
is officially ended.
Word of the dissolution of this
organization, which last April
claimed 60,000 members under 36
years of age and 534 chartered
posts, comes from a bulletin issued
by Robert G. Barnes, '37, and
Thomas Riggs, jr., '37, joint com
manders. The purpose of the bulletin is to
answer the question. "What are
the Veterans of Future Wars
doing today?" recently raised.
Activities in the sphere of poli
tics were suspended during last
fall's presidential campaign, ex
plained the Princeton seniors.
"Since that time it has been
found financially Impossible to re
sume activities on a scale that the
American Legion and the Veterans
of Foreign Wars deserve, and since
there Is no point in doing a half
hearted job, we ar stopping the
organization altogether.
"We suffered in that we never
got our bonus from the last con
gress and have not the funds to
pour into lobbying that our rival
veteran groups possess.
"Now from the looks of bills
before congress, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars will soon have
everything but the cobblestones
down Pennsylvania avenue, and
there will be nothing left with
which Congress can pay our bonus
demands.
"The main accomplishment of
the organization," continued the
bulletin, "is shown in the size of
membership and the national re
sponse It received.
"This can be taken as a fair
criterion of the fact that we did
awaken the people of the country
to (1) the absurdity of the war
and youth's reaction to it, and (2)
the equal absurdity of the treasury
exploitation in which various vet
eran organizations have been al
lowed to indulge.
"We are not, nor ever have been,
opposed to any veterans group as
suclt. We favored all pensions for
widows and orphans of World war
soldiers actually killed in combat;
we favored all possible bonuses to
those men who were seriously in
jured In- the war or as a direct re
sult of the war. We violently op
posed the granting of disabled vet
eran compensation to men who
stepped in front of automobiles in
1926, and their like."
Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt
Gives Two Lectures
On College Platform
WASHINGTON. (ACP). Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt got a big
"kick" out of her visit to a "cer
tain college," for she referred to
it recently humorously in a talk
to the 150 congressional wives
who came to Washington with her
in 1932.
"I went to a certain college,"
she said, "to speak twice in the
afternoon and evening. The col
lege president was anxious that
I shake hands with the audience
after both programs.
"I explained that I didn't make
a practice of It. But the precedent
