'our Fundamentals of System Explained By Class Instructor
“Sure cure for Stammers” has been ?mbodied in a class unde rthe supervision of Leon Wolps and is proving Uucessful in that there is a large enrolment and beneficial results are be-[ing recognized.
Mr. Wolpe organizes his clases as ilubs with a membership based on an >ath to the effect that the student [when thoroughly cured will organize jother such club. Mr. Wolpe has organized classes al over the United iStates in prominent coleges and in [every undertaking has met with suc-fcess. Mr. Wolpe .himself is a student.
Meeting from 4:30 to 6:30 daily the class is kept enthused and with conscientious efforts Mr. Wolpe guarantees his course to. be successful Unique features are embodied in a slogan, “SLOW. EASY.”
A list of songs are pracUced. They are of clasical. popular and modern nature. The four fundamentals of the system are: “Pause; Drop Jaw; Breathe-in; Noise.” This poem is a constant help and inspiration to the students, ti is called the “Rigmarole” If you stumble when you speak And your voice is growing weaker Just drop your jaw; Conform to law And be a vowel speaker.
Mr. Wolpe receives no compensation for his efforts other than the satisfaction that other such clubs will be formed.
Seniors in the Southern California school of engineering are today staging a great electrical test at the Third street sub-station of the Bureau of Power and Light, consisting of a complete study of the efficiency of one of the largest dynamos Used by the city.
The test being carried out today is known as the “Retardation Method,’’ and can be used only on larger machines. lt was at first hoped to conduct the experiments at the school laboratories, but it was found that the equipment here was not suitable due to its size. Not only is the “Retardation Method” studied in engineering schools throughout the country, but is in practical use by many large manufacturing and power comapnies.
Last year’s Seniors performed the test in a most creditable manner, according to those in charge, and the 1925 graduates are anxious to beat the record of their predecessors.
‘•Engineers at Southern California,” said H. A. McCarter, under whose direction the test will be conducted, “are indeed fortunate in having such laboratory facilities at their disposal, located as we are in the center of a great deal of electrical and power activity. The Power Bureau engineers have taken a great interest in this student undertaking ,and are always ready with equipment and financial assistance without which the tests would be impossible. We were ableto secure e Power Bureau laboratories for this ork through the kindness of H. H. Cox, chief operating engineer, and students here should feel very grateful towards he and the Bureau.”
Mr. McCarter will be assisted in conducting the tests by C. P. Eustice, while engineers of the Bureau, as well as faculty members of theengineering school will be present.
Southern California teams have lacked second and third point men. although having a plentiful supply of gold medalists. Such is not the case with the present squad, and Cromwell will play for every break.
THE DASHES
In the short dashes, Brice Taylor, Herchel Smith, and Edgar House will represent the Trojans. Taylor has rounded into shape rapidly and has been clocked under the ten second mark in recent practice sprints; he should break the tape in the century. Gaspar, Campbell, Hartranft, and Miller will run for Stanford.
Howard Torkelson is the main hope of the Trojans in the quarter mile. Tork has run around 50 seconds flat so far this year but will be up against a 48 second man in Miller, the Cardinal flash. Yale Martz, also a 48 sec-(CONTINUED ON *>AGE THREE)
Tri Delt Will Give Benefit Nickle Dance
TEST IS POSTPONED
The Psychological Test has been postponed from Saturday, March 2S, to 1:30 P. M. on Saturday, April iv Hoose Hall, 206.
THERON CLARKE, Registrar.
Invitations have been sent to the Greek letter fraternities and sororities of the campus announcing a matinee dansant at the Tri Delt House, 2407 S. Flower St., April 2, from three to six.
Every fraternity has or is having its benefit dates and Tri Delt is giving a nickel dance affair for the benefit of its house fund. The front rooms will be sectioned off in order to admit only ticket holders, each dance being appraised at a nickel.
A string of the U.S.C. Varsity Orchestra composed of Alton Harpst, Babe Morrison and Bill Stewart will syncopate inspiration and promise to make the music worth at least half the nickel. The co-eds of the campus will do the rest.
Fruit punch and individual cake will be served as well as sold to those craving refreshments and as an excuse for a tete a'tete:
give all of the staff a. chance to show their newspaper ability. Setzlen- may ' even have a chance to run a big headline, and whoever edits the sport section will have a whole page to himself. The sport section of the Whittier News is usually edited by Whittier College athletes.
“The Quaker Campus,” edited by the Whittier College newspaper staff," will watch with interest the Saturday night edition of their home town paper to see what the Trojans can do with a j regular paper.
Setzler stated this morning from the Trojan training quarters that his staff is in splendid condition for the trip and its members are now fully confident that they can break all past records for speed in getting tbe paper to press. After the Whittier trip Setzler anticipates a number of good jobs will be offered his promising young cub-reporters.
Grady Setzler’s staff will be composed of such newspaper veterans as Ralph Holly, Dorothy Crowley, M*ud Miller, Marguerite Matson, Helen Scheur, Chester Mackie, Freeman Hall, and Consuelo TacheL This is the fourth job that the Trojan staff has handled and they hope to make a big success of everything from the Trojan brand of editorials to the automobile section.
The Whittier News is one of the best known small dailies printed in Southern California and should prove a splendid chance for practical experience for the Trojan writers. If this trip proves as successful as the past three trips have, the Tojan staff that goes to Pomona on the next field trip will have something to work for.

Next Tuesday Southern California’s yell contest closes and a cash prize of $100 will be given to the person handing in the best yell. This prize has been offered by Allen T. Archer, Southern California booster, for the purpose of stimulating interest in enlarging the present yell roster here.
Warning is given to contestants, by Sam Yates, in charge-of the affair, not to make the yells too long.

Yells can be dropped in the box that will be in the arcade before the entrance to Bovard Auditorium until Tuesday.
Gasoline Is A Monthly
Expense; So Are M/omen
Fellows who go to dances dragging i makes his monthly appearance on
women and come home dragging their feeL and fellows who wind up their expense account with “Gasoline—$25” will probably agree that women are funny.
People who look in their mail bn the first of every month and then write a letter to the editor on the second because the mail man kept it a day overtime to read it himself, will no doubt agree that the Wampus is funny.

Therefore Felines are twice as funny as cats—that is, as women and Wampi. On April 2, anybody who is good at geometry may figure out the percent
The Famous Cat of the Campus
April 2. Nice people who like to take their prescriptions in private and who lock the door when they read “La Vie Parisienne will not be interested. This is meant as a friendly warning. The cover is just as naughty as it can be —and stay out of the class of advertising. John Post is responsible. Nobody will amdit, however, that he had anything to do with the somewhat heated contents. Just let the faculty try and find out!
Anybody who thinks he knows women, who wants to know women, or who knew women, is cordially invited to contribute to Tommy’s future prosperity with the usual paltry sum of twenty-five cents, single copy, nothing if you can prove matrimony.
“The Fatherly Throne” was the subject of the third lecture delivered by-Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes in his series on the New Era Foundation Wednesday afternoon .
He stressed the fact that we should not object to the idea of throne in connection with God because the throne of God is the throne of grace where He waits to answer prayer. As all are invited' to pray. God always answers prayer, granting that which is best for us and withholding what we should not have. All prayer must be in harmony with God’s fatherly nature, which means love for all creatures and also means we should be in submission to Him. The bishop also emphasized the fact that we often fail in prayers because we ask for things in our name instead of in His name. Although it is prayers to Him and have them bound back to us, like a ball thrown against the wall; He answers prayers directly in acordance with His will . The address was effectively brought to a close with a story that showed that if we ask for a right mind and a good heart, we can always depend upon God to answer our prayer immediately.
In Thursday’s lecture on “The Parental Theology,” Bishop Hughes indicated God’s fatherhood in other relations of life.
The six lectures on the New Era Foundation are given under the auspices of tbe school of religion. The lectureship is a biennial event, the last course having been given in April, 1923, by Bishop Francis J. McConnell. These lectures are afterwards published in book form.

TWO POSITIONS OPEN ON ADVERTISING STAFF
Two positions left on the Advertising staff of the Daily Trojan, so announces Bill Teezel, manager of this publication when asked how the Advertising staff was progressing.
The present staff which is all from the freshman .class has been working Since the first of the year, and according to Mr. Teezel, is efficient. Advancements have,, been made by the Trojan advertising agents on the staff through their ability to show indications of improvement, says TeezeL
So far the staff which is composed of Kenneth Grossman. Wayne Harrison. Evelyn Platt. George Lewis, S. Singer, and Bernard Weinburg have presented many ideas for unusual advertising in the Trojan. Among some of the suggestions are an Motorcar and an Amusement section for the Daily.
On Monday at 12:45, Mr. Teezel wishes the staff to meet above the Associated Students’ Store.
Harold Horne, manager of scenic effects for the Criterion Theater, yee-terday was present at a preview showing of “Ocean Life,” the University of Southern California production of marine life. Mr. Horne has shown considerable interest in the film and if the appearance which he witnessed yesterday was successful it is protable the picture wil be shown at all the houses of the West Coast Circuit, which is composed of a hundred and eight theaters in all parts of Western United States.
If Mr.Horne is particularly pleased with the motion picture, it .will be given a run at the Criterion Theater before being shown elsewhere. Those who have seen the film freely predict that it will meet with a great deal of success and popularity.
Harold J. Stonier, executive-secre-tary to the president of the University of Southern California, said that it ip probable, if “Ocean Life,’ provee to be the success that is expected of it, that other productions will be filmed at U. S. C. These will include, if present plans are carried out, not only films of a similar nature to the on^ just completed, but others of different phrases of the activities of the University of Southern California, h picture recording the principle events of the year at the university, which would be shown at a rally period in June, and the filming of some of the plays produced by the students in Bovard Auditorium, are among the things planned.
If these plans are formulated it will mean that a new phase of university activity will make its appearance a! the University of Southern California and that U. S. C. will become tbe leading university of the country in the production of motion pictures.
