Putnam Has Divorce Problems Solution (By Associ;tcd Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 6.--A new solu- tion for the world's divorce problem was brought back to civilization to- day by George Palmer Putnam, pub- lisher and exploier, home from four months in the Artic wastes of Batlin- land. Th1e solution, he said, lies in emula- tion of the primitive Eskimo, who has made divorce non-existent for his race through the development of a perfectl economic partneship in which wo- mans place is in the igloo-chew- ing her husband's sealskin boots into! proper softness and flexibility for his next hunting trip. With starvation always just around the corner, Mr. Putnam says, the Es- kimo still remains one of the happiest races of the earth. His wants are fow, his taste simple and in Baitulan he i a whole-souled monogamist, de- i oled to his wife and children. llis is a nomadic race, constantly on the move and while the wife has her nal house duties, her most im- por,,nt function is to assure the foot-! comforts of her hunter husband by L aawing his frozen boots into submis-] sion. Tin Greenland, the explorer pointed out, the native achieves a "delightful ;ariy" by trading wives with his ne:;;hhors, but the Eskimo of Baffin- laud clings to his first wife, although, sometimes children are adopted by the wealthier natives when economic lAsu~ra on the parents becomes too Leavy for their support.1 'TRAN SPO isE[ IS OENEu Mlore TIhan 100 Delegates are Present at Smoker of Sixth Annual Highway Convention HORATIO EARLE PRESIDES More than 100 delegates from var- ious sections of the Middle West opened the conference on highway[ transport and the sixth annual meet- ing of the Michigan- Motorbus Asso- ciation with a smoker held last night in the convention hall of the Union. Horatio S. Earle, first state high- way commissioner of Michigan and former member of the Michigan state legislature, presided at the initial as- sembly. Professor John S. Worley of the transportation engineering depart- ment of the University delivered an illustrated lecture on the history of automotive vehicles. Prof. Worley, aided by slides, compared the present day automobiles to the antiquated vehicle which was operated as early as 1516. Prof. Worley stated that as fearl y as the 16th century worm gear- driven machines were in use in Austria. Illustrations Are Used. He illustrated these with reproduc- tions from wood blocks of that period. A near conception of the modern war tank was in vogue in 1588, he stated further. The first engine driven car was adopted in 1769, and steam furn- ished the power for this crude but practical means of transportation. All of the slides which were screened dur- ing the address were the property of the transportation library of the en- gineering department of the Univer- sity. -Prof. Worley stressed the adap- tation of art into the field of engineer- ing as early as the .16th century. Arthur H. Blanchard, former pro- fessor of highway engineering and now highway transport consultant in Toledo, 0., presented the principal ad- dress of the evening's session. Mr. Blanchard emphasized the lack of development of all means of transpor- tation, particularly of busses, in the United States, comparing the lack of develoipment here to the splendid systems of metropolitan London. Mr. Blanchard also compared the various methods of traffic control employed locally and abroad, painting out the defects of the modern American sys- tem and the efficiency in vogue in England. London Parking Barred. In discussing the parking problem iii London Mr. Blanchard asserted that "virtually no parking was allowed anywhere, thus assuring ample ease for the- loading and unloading of bus passengers in congested districts." Dr. W. D. Henderson, director of the University extension division,'was not present as the main speaker of last night's meeting. Instead, Dr. Hender- son will speak at the luncheon held in the Union this noon. Featuring the noon luncheon with Dr. Henderson will be President Clar-1 ence Cook Little who will deliver an+ Prominent Students Selected For Boaivd Of Literary College Dean John R.

Te deg t g accepted and even, afirined the Treasury's explanation that its action was routine demanded by law, but it was not certain whether the fact of the increased rates with1 the appearance of retaliation would' embarrass the diplomatic negotiation." Those drafting the .note to Paris con- ridered also whether it should make mention of the newest and unexpected developments. The assumption was that should France' inquire into the newly raised tariff, the Treasury's explanation would be repeated with the added as- surance that its action has no bearing on the general( Paris discussion. France's new rates became effective Sept. 6, but the Treasury explained today that it had not delayed com- pliance with the tariff law which re- quires similar changes in American duties because of the pending diplo- matic negotiations. The State depart-+ ment's chief reaction to the affair was surprise that it had no advance notice that the Treasury was to take the course it did. Some attcntion was also given at the Department to a statement by As-i sistant Secretary Lowman of the' Treasury that American tariff policy was one of reciprocity and that Amer- ican duties on specific articles went up- or down as foreign ddties went up or down. It was said emphatically that the American policy was one of1 equal treatment for all countries andt that only the President or the secre- tary of state could announce foreign7 policy. Mr. Lowman's statement apparently+ referred, however, only to the specific' tariff schedules under which the in-' creases in duties on French goodsI were made, the law requiring raising' or lowering of duties on certaii art-j icles when similar action is taken byI other countries. It was in that con- nection that yesterday's Treasury or-] der also provided for a lowering of duties on certain German commojities.1 1CAI RD U1{R 1S UROSEN Al.

THIS AFTERNOON TWO DISQUALIFIED Wayne Schroder, Treasurer-Eleet, Is Also Ineligible To Hold Literary Office Action of the Student council in de- claring Kenneth Haven, '29B.Ad, in- eligible for the office of president of the senior literary class was upheld by the Senate Committee on Student Affairs at a special meeting held last night, The committee issued the following statement after the matter of Haven's eligibility had been referred to the Senate Committee on Student Affairs by President Clarence Cook Little, to whom Haven had appealed. No Nev Action Justifiable "In the opinion of the Senate Com- mittee on Student Affairs there is not sufficient justification for a recon- sideration of the action of the Student council in declaring Mr. Kenneth Ha- ven ineligible for election as president of the senior class of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. At the same time it is the opinion of the committee that the Student council was negligent in not stating the basis of eligibility of candidates for such elective offices prior to the election." It was further declared yesterday by officers of the Student council that Wayne Schroder, '29B.Ad., was also ineligible to hold office as treasurer of the senior literary class, after it was learned that he is also registered in the School of Business Administra- tion under "the combined curricula The two offices will be filled at the special senior litsrary class election to be held at 4 o'clock today in Nat- ural.

At its weekly meeting Wednesday night in the Union, the council de- clared Haven ineligible with the fol- lowing motion: "Resolved, thatKen- neth Haven is ineligible to holdt office of senior class president since stu- dents- enrolled in the combined cur- ricula between the Colege of Litera- ture, Science, and the Arts. and other schools or colleges, aretnot eligible for senior literary class offices."

"Mr. Young is the last person in the world who would play politics," President Little said. Young can return to the University faculty at any time, according to President Little and Dean Samuel T. Dana of the Forestry School. He was only on leave, and both men expressed pleasure at the prospects of his- re- turn. "Though I have heard nothing definite from Mr. Young recently," Dean Dana stated. "I am quite certain of technical knowledge of the field of conservation. "The statq administra- tion has lost a man of very broad scientific training withthis dismissal, and it is to be hoped that they will find a man to fulfill the requirements of the office in the way that they should be fulfilled." When asked for his opinion as to the cause of the resignation the Presi- dent stated that he knew nothing of the inner workings of the conservation department or the state officials con- nected with it.
