PABTWO IOWA OITT PRESS-CITIZEN Splendid Work by Dorothy Wallen, Murray Ktinga- man, and Dell Puiki Defeats Oskaloosa Iowa City high school orators and debaters von glory anew, last night, In loirs City, when the local forensic it am, shining with exceptional brightness, slaughtered Oskaloosa high, by a vote of to 0. getting the unanimous decision of the arbiters of "their fate, the Athenian debaters out- pointed their friendly enemies by a score of 253 to 247, oat of a possible $00. The Little Hawkeyei favored more rigid law oa the Immigration problem, restriction of the incoming hordes of Europe being advocated strongly. The Iowa City trio, embracing two capable boys, and a brilliant girl (Miss Dorothy Wallen, Dell Fuiks, and Murray Klingaman, were at their best. They marshalled facts and fig- jirea with the skill of be-togaed forensic leaders of the United States Senate, and drove home their contentions with sledge hammer blows, that riveted and clinched immutably.

Their rebuttal was exceptionally good. The trio may find it advisable to use the arguments again, in a future debate, if they are sent against another rival three, and, at their request, the summaries of their discourses are not preserved in print, for the perusal of their future antagonists on the debating arena. Oskaloosa Trio Good. The Oskaloosa trio was far from being a poor one. The young people, all boys, were well-prepared; spoke easily and yet forcefully, and, with a team of anything but championship calibre opposing them, the visitors would have acored a victory.

They were coached by their teacher, Miss Helen Kingstedt. The Oskaloosa three were Raymond Good, Howard Gregory, and Ralph JIasteller. The presiding officer was Prof. Ivor A. Opstad, superintendent of schools; and the judges were Prof.

W. M. Maulsby, Iowa university's school of journalism; Miss Rose Evelyn Baker, Cornell college, Mt Vernon; and Prof. Rodebaugh, principal of the West Liberty high school. Iowa City Loses One Iowa City, on the contrary, lost one debate (at Grinnell).

There, the Athenian team, upholding the negative, was defeated 2 to 1. Iow6 City Wins One Championship Nevertheless, this gave the Little Hawks four points in the triangle, as against Grinnell's total of three, and Oskaloosa's total of 2 and the Ottumwa are the only members of the Big Nine left In the running and they will clash as above reported, in a few weeks. AWAIT ACTION ON DAVIS OFFER OF WAGE MEDIATION WASHINGTON, March 13 -Whether the department of labor would attempt to settle the wage reduction controversy between the meat packing companies and their employees depended today on the acceptance of Secretary Davis' offer to mediate by the packers.

After receiving Secretary Davis' telegram proposing mediation by -Qie labor department, Mr.

In the first place it simply bubbles over with laughter and the situations are so human that you do not feel foolish because you are laughing. Again, it is long enough so that it provides a whole evening's entertainment in itself. Had some one told us before we saw "The Kid" that we could be convinced that the character which Charlie has always represented on the screen could be presented in such a way that we could visualize him a living breathing mortal, we would have been inclined to doubt But several times during the course of "The Kid" this comedian made us swallow a lump in our throats and wipe real tears of sympathy from our eyes by the pathos of his acting, and before our handkerchief was back in our pocket it was needed again to dry our cheeks of the tears caused by the shrieks of laughter from the antics of the same actor.

a comedy the production is a winner; as a dramatic production ft ranks high; but the strongest appeal this First National six reels of Joy made to us was to bring the realization that Charlie Chaplin is not a clown but one of the most consumate actors on the screen today. and White 'Cherries, 1 can each 78c Strawberries and Bartlett 1 can each 78c In the case of Frank against Mike Gilroy, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant, in the district court this morning.
