For quite a number of years the leading grid eleven on the Pacific Coast has been gelected ‘o play in the Tournament of Roses aganst the outstanding team in the Eastern half of the Country. | And the selection of Georgia Tech this year as the representa- | tive team of the Scuth, and also of the Eastern half of the Coun-‘ try, is a fitting tribute, ac;ord-I ing to the prevaling sentiment, to one of the greatest football ceams ever to perform on the gridiron. There is not so much versal.ita ty and f.ash about this Tech crew, but for sheer football stam ina, steadiness, and speed, they have hardly an equal.

The gaunt skeetons of the burned and looted res dences stil stand as silent reminders of las year's period of flam'ng hate to ward the foreigner, but now th: agitators responsible for that org} are said by the Chinese and for. eign m ssionaries al.ke to have disappeared.

L 2 e %4 Dr, Norman Dudgeon, semior part aer in a London firm of fore'gn :xchange brokers, who has applied to the War Officé for a lease of the land adjoining the ranges of .he Royal School of Musketry on he outskirts of the town. “All I am acking for is perm'ssion to nk a hoie in a piece of land that ‘s unused. I am undertaking to Jay the government 5 percent roy alty on all oil that comes from the yoring and is sold. Immediately I am granted the lease the work will Je put in hand.” The oil is sald to exist at ap- Jroximately 1,000 feet below the suriace. Its volume can only be ascertained by a test, but the pro noters are confident that it is snormous. Mr. Dudgeon claims that he and lis experts have located another sil belt in-Sussex, around May ield and Heathfield. This conten zion is well founded, for it has seen known for many years that chere are oil reserves in the clay )f the Sussex Weald.

NGLISH CHURCH CALLS DEATH PENALTY MURDER By BATES RANEY {Associated Press Staff Writer) LONDON.—(#)—A large sece jon of British puiiic opinion upported by Dr. Cosmo Gordon Lang, the Archbishop® of Cantex oury is determined to do away vith capital punishment in Eng and, where a century ago thoe were 200 crimes punishable 'oy leath, men m.ght be hanged for sheep stealing and young chil- Ilren c.uld be executed. A powerfully supported peti -jon asking parliament to abolith *he death penalty has been issued o the public for signature. It s eing fcllowed by a vigorous edu sational camnaign. The petitior will be presented to the house of sommong next spring. The movement against capital nunichment, which . has been steadily gaining in force the last ‘ew years, was precipitated intc sudden action by the recent case »f Oscar Slater, who was con demned to death eighteen year ago for murder, his sentence com muted to life imprisonment, and who, a few weeks ago, Was de clared inmocent of the crime with which he was charged, and se’ 2 - It is pointed out by shurchmen that the practice of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooti: remained in vogue long after the nominal introduction of Christi anity, but that this doctrine has ieen gradually modified since un ... there remains only capita. punishment as a relic of the old, | parbaric times. They are asking whether the su preme penalty exacted by the state and carried omt in cold blood iy its agents can be sharp :iv distinguished from brutal mur er. Eminent legal men, however, are widely divided on the subject. Lord Buckmaster, a former Lord Chancellor of England, is an en ergetic worker in favor of doing away with the death penalty. He points out that eight European states no longer execute crimi- | nals and that eighteen states of the United States of America hova taken the same course. H: insists that there has been no in crense tu murder since, He ar gues that penal servitude for life will amply protect society anc that the object of legal punish ment ghould be protection, not re venee. Sir Herbert Samuel, former home seeretarv and high commis sioner for Palestine, has enterec tne aiscussion . He advocates tha parliament appoint a select com mittee to examine the whole ques: tion and that such a committe: be charged with the duty of in quiring into the experience of tie ctates where capital punishmen’ has already been abolished, and particular.y of testing the vali dity of the statistics that have izeen published and of the conclus jions drawn from them. Sir Herbert Stephen, an emi nent legal authority who was clerk of the assize for the nortn en circuit from 1889 to 1927, dif fers very emvhatically from bot! Lord Buckmaster and Sir Hemn bert Samuel. “I apprehend,” he says, “that somethine like eighty persons ars annually condemned to death ir England. Of these about hal” are hanged and I think the prob ability is they richly deserve it. If the law could be made a more exact measure of the different degrees of villainy I think it would be desirable slightly to ex tend it and make a few other crimes purbzhable with ‘death.” It s with such conflicting opin ions as these that the new parlia ment will have to deal with next speing, for the movement against capital punishment has mreached such proportions that it must be d.sposed of one way or the other. Clergyman Has Cure i ~ For Liquor Excess OXFORD, Englani—{#)—Hun dreds of requests for his cure for alcoholism are .aily = reaching Canon H. E. Nolioth, veteran Ox ford clergyman and honorary Canon of York Minster, He has established a wide reputation for reclaiming drink sddicts by a “se eret” prescxedgfion and who recent ly announced that he would give it to anyone who really needed it. Canon Nolloth believes in the principle of prevention being bet ter than cure, and trles to induce people to sign the pledge in the first oplace, as a preventive against acquiring the drink habit, or as a means of helping them to break themselves of idt, if it .s already formed. “I give my prescription only to those who have become slaves to tne dring habit,” he says.
