ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME ■ XXVI TARIFF MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN BY FARM RELIEF MEN As House Committee Con siders Plan For Farm Relief Tariff Question Becomes Most Serious. HAUGENADVISES RELIEF SEEKERS Says Plan That Does Not Recognize Tariff Is Not Worth Paper It Is Writ ten on—Other Plans. Washington, Mar<'h 10.—W s )—The question of the tariff stood out today as one of the fighting (mints which may confront the House agriculture committee in its efforts to agree upon a measure to settlo the surplus crop problem. A draft of proposed legislation pre pared by a middle western farm re lief delegaton which has been sitting with the committee contains no direct mention of the tariff although Chair man Haugen announced two weeks ago that, a plan before the committee was “not worth the paper it was writ ten on” because of such an omission. The Chairman advised the delega tion to write into the bill provisions empowering the President to raise without limit the tariff on any agri cultural commodity. He also suggest ed that the price which the govern ment would undertake to provide for surplus to be fixed at the world priee of n commodity plus the tariff and other costs of importing it. . The latter clause was put into the first draft which the delegation fram ed, but when the bill was completed yesterday it was left out. As the measure was framed the Federal Farm Hoard to be created by the measure would fix “a just and reasonable twice.” The only provision relating to im portations is an embargo on corn which the bill would put into effect for a year after its enactment. Chairman Haugen predicted today that the committee would accept a number of amendments if it decided to report out the bill. In its present form the measure would Authorise appropriation of . . §2iAoooi¥*> to atari a revolving fund - — iam «***!*».

Declare That the Newspapers Which Poison News Poison Themselves Chicago, March 16.— UP) —A news paper "can no more afford to poison its news than a dairyman can afford to put prussic acid in his milk,” Har- j per Leech and John C. Carroll say in their new book on the newspaper, “What’s the News?” just published. “The newspaper which poisons its product poisons itself. Suppression of important or pertinent fncts in the \ interest of popularity, class, gang. | clique or self-interest is the equivn-j lent of a death warrant if persisted in. Os this the toll of dead news papers is sufficient testimony.” All phases of the newspaper's rela-1 tion to the myriad activities of mod- 1 ern life are touched on in the book, 1 which describes, news as “accelerated literature” and the newspaper as an institution “which is writing litera ture as the clock ticks.” The authors are members of the staff of the Chicago Tribune. Leech is known as a writer on economic topics under the psedonym of "Seru- j tator,” while Carroll also is an in-1 struetor in the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern Univer sity. | The writers declare that newspa per men long have had a triple classi fication of news based on the themes of money, love and religion. “To be more specific slid probably more en lighteneing, news interest as disclosed by the world in review as it tumbles day or night upon the copy desk from wires, cables, hot from the reporter’s typewriter or cooler from the mails, seems to be summed up thus: “Life and death, desire for amuse ment, curiosity, ambition and cupid ity, wealth' and poverty, religious hope, generosity and stinginess, hon esty and dishonesty, heroism nnd fear.” While crime is called “the most in teresting of all news themes—judged by circulation gains and popular in terest.” the authors assert that “as the cost of publishing has increased and the volume of crime has increased the proportion of all crime that wins a : office girl or the stenogt innt had really attained success practiced ; the art of selling. The individual i with whom the customers first Come i in contact and who really represent ed the institution that employed them i should understand the art of selling : because they were the first employees of the firm to make the impression as to the kind of service the institu tion was rendering the public. He i emphasized that the first impression ! was the one that remained in the : | mind of the customer and that the first impression should always be i favorable. Some of the merchants were sur prised to learn that Mr. driest had been in their store and cheeked up on the strength and weakness of the salespeople. One of the important steps on making the sale, specified the speaker, was found to be lacking ; in some of the place* of business in 1 Concord. One of these was the ap proach of the sales person to the cus tomer. The importance of a wel ■ eome greeting in the way of “a good morning,” cr “how do you do?” was I emphasized by the speaker. He stat ed that customers in places of buei ness were in a sense guests of that place of business and should be treat ed with the utmost courtesy.

Women Enrollment at Duke Has Doubled flight Times. Durham. N. C, March 16.- -t/P, Duke University, recently endowed for $80,000,000 by the late Janies B. Duke, has doubled its enrollment of women eight times. Tho earliest record of women at Duke, then Trinity College, was in 1878 when the. Slisses Peris, Mary and Theresa Giles were enrolled. This year there are 333 women stu dents, this number being twenty-five percent of the total enrollment. ■For more than a decade after graduation of the Giles sisters, there were no women in the classes of Trinity.

Strive as they may to tickle Demos, the mechanical and economic limitations on newspaper space are such that they constitute one of the least sensational forms of letters. Per thousand ems of type or pounds of paper, they run less to crime and tragedy than most of the great clas sics. "The idea that the suppression of I crime news would lessen crime ig ! nores the fact that newspapers are by 1 no means the only methods for the dissemination of information. They have never superseded the gossip and the grape-vine telegraph.” 1 Likewise the authors find that com paratively little of available sex news is printed, although citing the subject as one of wide interest, j “Sex will disappear from the news • when newspapers are written and read by Robots. Men and women and their problems as such always I have been the theme of accelerated literature as of nearly all other sorts. “But just as in crime, the very abundance of sex news in time forces a process of selection, until a very minute fraction of sex news ever gets into the newspapers and that is us ually selected because it carries with it some unusual feature or appeal— exactly as the sex of great literature is always something vastly more than sex.” The relation of advertising to news papers is commented upon. “It has become conventional to say that a newspaper lives on its byproduct, ad vertising.” The authors deny this, saying: “It probably is true today that the great majority of newspaper adver tisers are as dependent on the news papers as they are on the railroads, the post office, or the telephone for their continued existence and func tioning." c THE TRIBUNE'i PRINTS 11 TODAY’S NEWS TOBAIM NO 61 FIGHT FOR CHAPHMII WILL CONTINUE FOil NEXT THREE WEEKS ?or Bandit Ready I *ry Other Means to | Save Client Scheduled to Die Soon. set to dTeln % ELECTRIC CHAIR J April 6th Is Date Set For Electrocution of the Man Who Has Three Times Been Saved From Deatlt Hartfort, Conn., March 16. — jj Three weeks from today Gerald Chag^jJ • man is scheduled to pay the death pen- i alty for the murder of a New Britain ' i policeman. • Yesterday the Supreme Court d«- j : nied petition asking review of his ease, i I which was carried from the Connectl-'l : cut Supreme Court. i The third reprieve granted the ban- ; • dit by Governor John Trumbull ex- j pires April 0, and at 12.01 o’clock that ■ morning Chapman is slated to stgMt j 1 upon the floor of the execution chain* M '• bor in the death house, and the ward- || en stepping on a plunger will set in J motion the mechanism which will end | : the man's life.
