Prof. Harlan Koch Tells Of
Broader Cooperation To
Come In Future
Plans Began With
President Angell
Relations With Secondary
Schools Are Of Great
Importance, He Says
The University Bureau of Co-oper-
ation with Educational Institutions is
placing a constructive emphasis on
the relationships between the Univer-
sity and the other educational insti-
tutions in the State, Prof. Harlan
C. Koch, assistant director of the
bureau, told a gathering of educators
at the afternoon School of Education
conference yesterday.
One of the most helpful duties of
the University bureau is to super-
vise the accrediting of secondary
schools in the State, Professor Koch
said. Such a relationship, he de-
clared, has supplanted the old need
for entrance examinations for schools
which under the new system are able
to meet the standards .of the Uni-
versity.I
In the course of his address Pro-
fessor Koch quoted liberally from the
first address of former President
James B. Angell of the University be-
fore the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools in
1895.t
Quotes Angell
Professor Koch quoted President1
Angell as saying concerning the needI
for such an association and for such
"We who are in the colleges can-
not be too deeply interested in them,
or in too close relationship with them.
We must not ask of them more thant
they can do under the conditions of
their life. In our desire to lift the
grade of college work, we are in dan-
ger of leaving a gap between us andz
them. The high school teachers are
as a rule sufficiently ambitious to
carry their work up to a higher plane.
We must help them so far as we can
to make advances without forfeiting
the support of the taxpayers. In the
occasional reactions of public senti-
ment against the maintenance of high1
schools, which are necessarily more
costly than the schools of lower grade,
we must stand firmly by them.
Should Impress Boards
"We should endeavor to impress
school boards with our sense of the
dignity which properly belongs to the
high office of principal of an impor-
tant high school. We should show
them on all fitting occasions that
no one should be called to that re-i
sponsible office who is not a man ofi
broad and comprehensive views of
the function of the school, and who
has not some decided power of im-
pressing himself strongly on the
minds and character of his pupils.
"We must even look below the high
schools, and keep ever in mind the1
essential unity of educational work.
Under our forms of organization wer
have cut the process of education
too much into disconnected sections,
and placed high barriers of formal
and formidably- examinations between
them. The pupil, instead of seeing
an inviting path, clear and open be-
fore him, leading from the primary
school to the university, has had his
vision bounded by obstacles, towering
higher and. higher as he advanced.

Agents Testify
To Senate Lobby
In Utility Case
Company Destroys Field
Records In Fight Against
Administration
WASHINGTON, July 18. - (A') -
Hesitating and reluctant, two sub-
ordinates of the Associated Gas and
Electric Company testified today to
the thoroughgoing destruction of the
field records in a $700,000 battle
against the Administration's utility
bill.
They "burned the papers," or "laid
them aside in a waste basket," they
told the Senate lobby committee, on
orders from a "higher-up." These in-
structions, they conceded after re-
lentless grilling, were prompted by
concern lest "something might be
made of them" in the Federal investi-
gation which now has landed on the
company.
Mea'nwhile, committee agents
quietly ransacked the New York of-
fice files of the holding company.
They were checking up, Chairman
Black (Dem., Ala.) said on the com-
pany's own estimates of $700,000
spent in the campaign to defeat the
provision of the utilities bill decreeing
abolition for "unnecessary" utility
holding companies.
LADIES BEWARE
LONDON, July 18.- "Wanted -
10,000 tame adult mice."
The above advertisement appeared
in the personal columns of the morn-
ing papers and aroused considerable
curiosity. The advertiser proved to be
George Palmer, pet store owner of the
west end.
Ie explained the demand for mice
is due to the increased popularity
of Mickey Mouse, whose creator, Walt
Disney, is now in London.
"There is an increasing interest in
mice both among children and
adults," he said, "and the demand
is brisk."

Tigers Defeat
Red Sox, Pare
Yankees' Lead
Schoolboy Rowe Blanks
Boston; Leaders Lose
To St. LouisBrowns
BOSTON, July 18. -(Special) -
Schoolboy Rowe returned to his old
pitching form today and set the Bos-
ton Red Sox down. with five hits
while his mates were garnering eight
runs off the offerings of Wesley Far-
rell. The final score was 8 to 0.
- By via uc of this vi(tory, the Tigers'
gained a full game on the first-place
Yankees, who lost an extra-inning
game yesterday to the lowly St. Louis
Browns, 4 to 1.
The Schoolboy was also the batting
star of the game with three hits in
three appearances at the plate. One
of these was a timely triple in the
second which scored Pete Fox and
Marvin Owen with what proved to be
the winning runs. The pitcher scored
the third run of the inning a moment
later when White sent a long fly to
the outfield.
Two more runs were added to the
Tiger cause in the fifth when a single
by "Big Hank" Greenberg, leading
home run hitter of both leagues,
scored White and Charley Gehringer.
Rowe opened the Detroit rally in
the ninth, which produced three more
runs, with a single. He scored when
Cronin fumbled Cochrane's grounder.
Then, after Ferrell had filled the
bases, Goslin scored White and
Cochrane with a single to right to
end the run-getting for the after-
noon.
The Red Sox were practically eat-
ing out of Rowe's hand the entire
route. Displaying perfect control, the
Schoolboy walked only one man, and
never was he in any danger of being
scored upon.
The Tigers will attempt to cut the
Yankees' edge to a half game today.
Tommy Bridges, Tiger pitching ace,
will probably face the Sox in today's
encounter.
Borah Leads Attack On
Attempt To Recover
Processing Taxes
Robinson Defends
Newest Provision
Compromise Expected As
Action On Recovery Suit
Is Deferred
WASHINGTON, July 18. --(U) -
A storming drive against the pro-
vision in the AAA bill outlawing suits
to recover processing taxes was
loosed in the Senate today in the face
of administration pleas for quick
passage of the measure.
Led by Senator William E. Borah,
who branded the tax suit prohibi-
tion as a "libel upon free govern-
ment," members from both sides of
the chamber blasted away at it.
In defense of it, Senator Joseph
T. Robinson, majority leader, de-
clared the provision was to prevent
processors from "multing" large
sums from the government in the
way of recovery of taxes which as-
sertedly they already had passed on
to the consumer.
Action on therrecovery suit pro-
vision was deferred in an attempt
to work out a compromise.
Rayon Tax Is Defeated 1
The Senate then took up and de-
feated, 41 to 34, an amendment by
Senator Tom Connolly, (Dem., Tex.),,
proposing to restore the export de-
benture machinery contained in the
measure as it passed the House, but
eliminated in Senate committee con-
sideration.
With scarcely a note of protest, the
Senate booted out of the bill a com-
pensatory tax on rayon and other
competitors of cotton, amounting to
125 per cent of the cotton processing
tax, after withdrawal of an earlierf
proposal by Senator James T. Byrnes,
'(Dem., S.C.), to protect rayon makers
by a compensatory tax also on silk."
Meantime, the Attorney General's
office came forward with a statement
that the decision of the First Circuit
Court outlawing processing taxes in
the Hoosac Mills case would not af-
fect tax collections in other parts of
the country.
"This case," the statement from thet
Attorney General's office said, "willl
be carried to the Supreme Court ast
quickly as possible, since the govern-
ment does not acquiesce in the cor-
rectness of the decision."I
Attack By Borah
Borah, in opening his attack, shout-
ed:
"Not the state or the government
is the superior power, but the people.
They have never given the Federal
or state governments exemptionst
from suits by citizens who have beeni
wronged ...s
"There is not in the Constitution
a line or a letter indicating exemp-
tion of the government from suits byt
citizens. . . . I cannot conceive why,
when a citizen is wronged under ar
free government, he shouldn't have at
right to be heard. It is a fiction, a
falsehood, a libel upon free govern-
ment."t

JUST PRACTISING
TARVES, Scotland, July 18.'-This
town is breathing freely again after
its greatest ghost scare, which was
started by a nine-year-old girl. The
district has been mystified and
alarmed for some time by strange
voices which came from the walls of
a house, reciting the Lord's prayer one
minute and singing popular songs
the next. A trap was set and the
"ghost" was found to be the girl, who
confessed to being a natural ven-
triloquist.

Appeal To All Ethiopa Is
Viewed As Preparation
For MilitaryActivity
Addis Ababa To Be
Evacuated In War
America Lends - Support
To Peaceful Efforts Of
League Of Nations
ADDIS ABABA, July 18. - ()-
Well-informed sources believed to-
night that Emperor Haile . Selassie,
who called his people today to resist
any possible Italian invasion, had
finally abandoned all hope of avoid-
ing war.
The Emperor addressed his message
to every man, woman and child in
Ethiopia, and foreign observers here
interpreted his appeal to his sub-
jects to give up their lives if neces-
sary for the independence of the Em-
pire as indicating the ruler was pre-
paring for definite military activity.
Reports were heard in the capital
that Addis Ababa would be evacuated
immediately if hostilities should
break out through fear of Italian
bombing planes.
ADDIS ABABA, July 18.- (A)-
Emperor Haile Selassie, today called
his people --men and women, Chris-
tians and Mohammedans, young and
old - to fight to the death against
Italy in the "sacred" cause of Ethio-
pian independence.
Many of the vast audience of par-
liamentarians, soldiers and public
wept unrestrainedly as the emperor
asserting that those who died for
their country were "happy mortals,"
said,
"Your sovereign, now speaking, will
be among you unhesitatingly to'spill
all his blood for independence!"'
Challenging Benito Mussolini and
his land to respect Ethiopia's inde
pendence and territorial integrity,
the emperor nevertheless looked the
possibility of war squarely in the face
and told the world that Ethiopia was
prepared to resist to the last man.
He paraphrased Fascism's famous
"better to live one day as a lion than
100 years as a lamb" when he told
Ethiopians it were better to die free
than to live without liberty.
Scenes of wild enthusiasm, both in
the parliament, where he spoke, and
in public squares outside, greeted the
emperor's fighting speech, in which
he repeatedly invoked God's help for
the Ethiopian cause.
While the dark, curly-bearded em-
peror did not order general mobili-
zation of Ethiopia's fierce fighting
men, as had been expected, he sound-
ed the call to approaching battle in
vigorous tones, shouting:
"Our ancestors preserved their
independence by sacrificing their
lives. Follow their example."
Revealing that Ethiopia had ac-
cepted Britain's proposal for three-
way exchange of land to avert war,
which Italy rejected, Haile Selas-
sie reminded parliament, the soldiers
and the country that Ethiopia wanted
peace.
His appeal to the United States
under the Kellogg-Briand Pact out-
lawing war and Ethiopia's repeated
appeals to the League of Nations
was proof of his peaceful aims, he
said.
WASHINGTON, July 18.- (P)-
Emphasizing the American Govern-
ment's desire for a peaceful settle-
ment of the Italo-Ethiopian crisis,
William Phillips, acting secretary of
state, revealed today that all Ameri-
can envoys abroad have been author-
ized to inform other powers of the
United States' attitude.
Phillips' statement, coinciding with
the announcement in Geneva that the
League of Nations would convene next
week in an attempt to achieve a
peaceful settlement of the African
dispute, was interpreted by some ob-
servers as lending moral support to
the League's efforts.
This country will not be represent-
ed by an observer at the League ses-
sion, Phillips said, because the Italo-
Ethiopian controversy is considered
of chief concern to European nations,

Christian Egypt with all its ridicu-
lous religious beliefs in magic -ri-
diculous because magic is a "pseudo-
science, one based on insufficient
evidence"-- was explained yesterday
by Prof. William H. Worrell of the
Oriental languages department in the
fourteenth lecture of the Summer
Session series.
The Copts, the Egyptians with
whom Professor Worrell dwelt, were
firm believers in the divine power of
certain humans, he said. Curses read
by these all-mighties, he explained,
were believed to have an immediate
and irrevocable effect.
"This magic is descended from the
Helenistic-Christian Jewish religion.
The names of demons and angels of
Copts adopted magic in their religion,
he said.
Some of the curses; those which he
said filled the ancient Copts with fear,
were read by Professor Worrell. He
also displayed slides of the slabs on1
which they were written in the Coptic
language, a derivation from the Greek
hieroglyphics.
In describing the characteristics of
the Copts, he said, "Their psychology
is unintellectual. They are people of
great skill and courtesy, but they
cannot put things together and draw
conclusions. They think that Egypt
is the most desirable country in the
world, looking at the rest of us as.
Thildren."
In their treatment of God, the
