COLRGES | ©" PRINCETON' POLL ee RB BR TR Favorite Beverage Ballot- ting totalling Whisky 104; Beer 79; Milk 3 New York--College students are drinking more than they did before Jrokibition, the Rev, Dr. Harry merson Fosdick to the contrary notwithstanding, according to Jesse Lyneh Williams author and author- ity on American college life, Three hundred and six students drink for every 61 teetotalers on an average, Williams estimated from his investigations. In a poll --at Princeton--of favorite bever- ages, the senior class stood, or leaned, 8 to 1 against prohibition and the 'favorite beverage' ballot- ing totalled whiskey, 104; beer, 79; milk, 3. These and other figures will be cited in an article by Williams to sustain the Williams contention that Dr. Fosdick was sermonizing through his hat when he said that the flowing bowl was vanishing , from college life because of the eighteenth amendment. The falling off in beer preference at Princeton was a great disap- pointment to many of the old _ grads, who had confidently expect- " 'ed beer to come out ahead of hard "liquor in any Princeton poll. But Williams does not pause to dally with the ramifications of this shocking development. He rushes on to defend college students, as he has recently observed them, and in " so doing manages to be even wore THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1929 shocking than he originally fntend- ed. ' Literary Celebrity Perhaps it should be recalled at this point that Williams is a liter- ary celebrity of such calibre and presence that he is often invited to come to colleges and just sit around and let the student body get a glimpse of him. While being looked at, he has also done some looking and listening. What he ob- served, aside from an allegedly growing tendency to regard whis- key as a polite beverage, is enougt to chill the blood of oldsters. The 'youngest generation'--as Williams calls them to distinguish them from the late lamented "younger generation"----are a queer lot and one that will be hard to handle. He finds them, at their age, "more studious, serious and less ed the war. "Distinctions between good taste and bad, recently banished, are re- turning," he says. "Not so many of the boys are drunk and disor- derly at private dances. It is no longer funny to break the hostess furniture," Dancing Decent The literary sage also noticed that dancing 'is decent" in many places, "You can sometimes see the light between partners," ne as- serts. No one could see the light be- tween partners in the old days of a year or two ago, and Do one wanted to. It would have spoiled the story. But Williams has ob- served greater portents of impend- ing calamity. "H. L. Mencken is no longer their god," he says boldly. 'Dean Gauss, of Princeton, tells me that the boys never mention Mencken's name now, except to smile at his vehemence in a manner of saying: 'Who so hot, little man?' as one of them remarked to me: 'A blun- derbus firing noisy shots into corpses." "' And Freud is "old stuff" now and no longer the fashion. The next generation has Freud pigeon- holed as a 'great scientist, but not the only one." defiant" than the one which follow- | "There may be a suspicion that Williams get some faint, even Freudian glimmer of happiness out of the attitude of the new college boy towards Mencken, but even 80, if what he says is a fact, it means that the new crop of undergradu- ates are going to 'be slippery cus- tomers and hard for their elders to handle. A generation that snick- ers at Mencken is bound to laugh out loud at Mencken's targets and be too smart-alecky in general to be lived with comfortably. At one college, Willjams said, the senior class was so sophistieat- ed that the annual census showed that more of them drank than smoked. ' RUSSIA BEGINS OFFENSIVE, CHINA (Continued from page 1) position untenable, sought means of escape from their dilemma. Moscow, Aug. 16.--Vice-Com- misgar of Foreign Affairs L. M. Karakhan, last night {issued a warning to all foreign governments and persons that the Soviet Gov- ernment would not recognize any transactions or obligations under- taken by the Chinese in relation to the Chinese Eastern Railway in Manchuria since their seizure of that road. The Manchurian crisis continues to develop steadily--it almost seems inevitable--toward war. The public, in Moscow learned yester- day what insiders have known for some time, that the Soviet Union's Southeastern Siberian frontiers 1s the scene of constant skirmishes as the White Guard forces raid into the Amur Railroad or to threaten Blagovestschensk, the "Dawson City" of the Siberian Klondike, the occupation of which by Russia is bitterly resented by the Chinese. The Moscow public received the news calmly. Their confidence in the Red army is so great that no one seems to fear any derangement of national life. OSHAWA FOLKS By W. H.

VESSEL BUILT OF TIMBER ENTIRELY Is Experimental 'Cruiser of the Carnegie Science Institute San Francisco, Cal, August 16-- Completing the first part of a three-year cruise around the world, the non-magnetic sailing ship Car-' negie, experimental cruiser of the Carnegie Institute, has put into port here for repairs and supplies after a 25-day voyage from Yoko- hama. ' Built in 1909, without a ap of iron or steel in it, the Carnegie has sailed around the world sev- eral times, visiting the North and South Polar regions in quest of sci- entific data on magnetism anu at- mospheric electricity. The trip just completed took the Carnegie. to Iceland and the South Pacific, under the command of Captain J. P. Ault. Seven scien- tists were aboard, Among the discoveries announc- ed here was the finding of two sub- marine mountain coast of South America last February. One range, extending 10,000 feet above the ocean floor was encountered off the coast of Ecuador and another off the Chil- ean coast. Captain Ault declared he had ob- tained definite proof that the North Pole is "wobbling." "While the change is compara- tively slight," Captain Ault said. "our observations prove that the north magnetic pole, ordinaruy re- garded as constant by mariners, is changing" . Easter Island, marine enigma, frequently reported by mariners to have submerged, is still above the waves, the scientists declared They told of anchoring off the island for a week and of taking extensive soundings in the vicinity, These soundings, they disclosed, revealed that scores of - other islands, ex- tending to the eastward of Easter Island, have sunk beneath the ocean's surface due to submarine disturbances. PLAN EXPEDITION INTO ANTARCTIC British -- Australia -- New Zeeland Join in the Venture Melbourne, Australia, Aug. 16.-- Plans are practically complete for the 'British-Australian-New Zea- land Antarctic expedition" which will sail from Capetown South Af- rica, in November under the leader- ship of Sir Douglas Mawson. Sir Douglas is in England mak- ing arrangements for the depart- ure of the ship Discovery which is being loaned by the British wov- The three governments will share. the costs of the trip and already the necessary funds from Australia have been fully subscribed. There will be a representative from ecacnm of the three governments aboard the Discovery. The expedition will sail from Cape Town for Enderby Land whence the ship will turn east and make her way slowly along the coastal area through the pack ice. The object of the voyage is to make a survey -of this little known sec- tor. It is expected that the Discov- ery will spend the whole of next summer "in the Antarctic region, Baking for Perth or Hobart in the all. A moth plane, suitable for land- ing on ice or water, is being taken for short flights over the main- land, though Sir Douglas does not intend to land any shore parties. EXPERTS DISCUSS PRISON PROBLEMS Expect Big Gathering at Congress of Prison Association . Toronto, Ont., August 15.--Pri- son problems will be discussed at the 59th annual Congress of the American Prison Association which will be held in Toronto from Sept, 20 to 26 and will be attended by almost 1,000 delegates There were scarcely 100 members when the congress last met in Canada, 85 years ago. The membership con- sists of prison superintendents and wardens, psychiatrists and others interested in prison problems in the United States and the Domm- ion of Canada. 5 Among the matters of {impor- tance that will come up during the six days of meetings will be ranges off the BOYS FROM CAMP VISITED TOWN (Continued from Page 2) the young folk upon their arrival in town went out to see what was going on, Reaching the Post Office he was first regarded with a certain amount of awe and then tceing that he was friendly they immn::diately began to offer him anything from their store of popcorn, peanuts and candy, If the chief had taken advantage of all these kind offers we are afraid he would be laid up for at least a week in an effort to digest the great va- riety of confectionery that was of- fered him, The boys left town about ten o'clock and all the way up the street one could hear them singing songs and busy chattering as to what they were going to do on the morrow.

Five years ago the appearance of one lone Channel aspirant swim- mer was good for at least a col- umn. Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston, billed as the American professional long distance champion, plans to swim from Gris-Nez to Dover and back again. Whatever the outcome of her efforts Mrs. Huddleston, if her record may be taken as a criterion, is certain to spend more hours in the water than any of the other nine contestants. hi) go A Ftd can't be described.
