Distinguished Leaders To Appear Here
Dr. Charles F. Aked, one of the most eminent of a list of noted summer session speakers at the University, will address the student assemly at 10:30 this morning on the “G6spel According to Mark Twain.” Dr. Aked, who is pastor of All Soul’s Church in Los Angeles, not only has an extended record as a speaker and lecturer, but is one of the few ministers in the country with tremendous personal followings. Wherever he appears as minister of a church a tremendous growth is immediately evident.
His address on Mark Twain is a consideration of the American humorist from the more fundamental view point, and tnkes into account Twain s philosophy cf life as revealed in his ifcier writings. It is &pid to be ou* of the most thoughtful and sympathetic of all treatments of Anit.ica’s literary gecm
Dr. Aked was born at Nottingham, England, and attended Midland Baptist College and University College in Nottingham. In 1886 he was ordained & Baptist minister, and preached' in two different charges before going to Pembroke Chapel, Liverpool, in 1890. He stayed in this pastorate for seventeen years, during which he made yearly preaching and lecture trips to the United States.

Government Theme of Roll Now Done
Planning to make his second contribution to visual education a set of films dealing with the League of Nations, Professor John Eugene Hurley, who left for Europe last week as a member of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, will collect extensive pictorial data on that body while he is in attendance at its sessions. From this body of pictures enough will be selected to make twenty rolls of film, each roll containing between 35 and 60 pictures. Although joined together like motion picture, reels, the pictures are not moving but stationary. They are designed for use in high school or college classrooms, each roll being sufficient for an hour’s recitation since it is accompanied by a syllabus read by the lecturer which not only comments on each picture, but shows the relations between each one. A special projector, the “delineascope,” is used with the rolls.
“The problem in such an enterprise/’ said Professor Harley recently, “is that o fattaining strict accuracy combined with human interest. There must be a great deal of selective work in choosing the pictures to be used, and of course there will not only show the League in session, but will include scenes from many foreign countries, showing the nature of the members and workings of the body.” HAS ONE ON CONSTITUTION

Many Political Issues Rise To Confront Colorado River Plans
Eastern Sectionalism May Oppose Western Development Because of Labor Question, Says Reuel L. Olson; Private and Public Policy and Mexican Question Appear
BY REUEL L. OLSON, A. M., J. D., Ph. D.
Professor cf Law, University of Southern California, and Author of “ The Colorado River Compact”
Political issues in Colorado river development bulk large in present discussions of the question. This follows from the fact that the agencies and instrumentalities of government are the only practicable means by which the development of this stream can be accomplished. It is obvious therefore that any thorough study of the question must necessarily deal with the means by which the machinery of politically organized society may be used effectively in working out a plan.
The political issues which center around the area contiguous to the Colorado river may be viewed from a number of points of view.
♦First among these is that of sectionalism. By the term “section-

ART TRIPS FEATURE MISS HOJft GLASSES
Tours For Studying Art and Architecture Come in Summer
Regular Tuesday trips to points of arUsUc interest in Los Angeles have been a feature of the art classes of the summer session under Miss Anna Helga Hong, who teaches Art Appreciation, American Art, and Art of the Home.
The first week’s excursion was to the Los Angeles Museum to study the examples of aboriginal American art and to get a general impression of the museum as a whole.
The second of the tours was to the Art Galleries of Cannell and Chaffin, the Ainslie Studio at Barker Brothers, and to the Biltmore Gallery. American masterpieces and local California painters of note were studied at this time.
Architecture was the subject of the third trip, which included St. Vincent’s Church, by C. A. Martin; St. John’s, by Pierpont Davis Brothers; St Paul’s, by Johnson, Kauffman, and Coat; the Woman’s Athletic Club, by Allison and Allison, and the new City Library, by Goodhue. The last of these was of particular interest, attention being paid by the class to the exterior as well as tQ the interior decorations.
A fourth trip included the Harrison and George Bellows exhibits at the Log Angeles County Museum, as well as paintings by modern American artiste.

floor are among the inducements offered students who wish to shake off studies and dull care for an evening of fun.
Percy Larkin of the Phi Alpha Mu fraternity is staging the affair and announces that it will be a live entertainment in every respect. “Wear your sport clothes and be comfortable” is the slogan for the evening, and the manager announces that mere comfort will be least of the evening's pleasures. Tickets to the dance are one dollar per couple.
BY RALPH HOLLY
Dr. Herbert T. J. Coleman of the University of British Columbia delivered the third Thursday afternoon lecture on “An Hour With a Pessimist.” For days persons wondered who the pessimist was to be. He was not, as Dr. Coleman himself suggested, a man who found it necessary to live with an optimist. Students in Dr. Coleman’s classes knew that it was not himself of whom he was to speak, because the doctor is an idealistic Canadian.
The pessimist of Dr. Coleman’s choice was an American .historian, Henry Adams, and the document which contains fullest example of his pessimism is his autobiography, “The Education of Henry Adams,” published in 1918. This book of self-analysis tells of the search of one man for
the ideal .education.

available for settlement. Leading industrialists of the Atlantic seaboard and the Middle West have little reason to favor the rapid development of new areas of the United States, for such areas bid for the services of persons now employed as laborers in centers of population in the East. Any noticeable movement of the laboring population in response to the lure of new and fertile lands would be likely to result in an increase of wages in the East by reason of a decrease in the labor supply.
It is possible, on the other hand, that the same manufacturing interests might believe that settlement of the arid lands would mean the development of new markets, an advantage which would more than compensate for the disadvantages incurred by reason of a decreased labor supply. Those who have a direct interest in the present development of the South-(Continued on Page Two)

STUDENT MAKES ARCHITECT SIGN
The latest addition of beauty and usefulness to be added to the University of Southern California campus is the wrought-iron name plate posted in front of the Architecture Building. The piece, done by Ben Wiseman, senior at architecture, portrays a group of students working over thefr drawing tables. The lines are faithfully portrayed and WTiseman has succeeded in transferring life-like humor to the cold steel with exceptional success.
The sign, bound by wrought iron bands to a rustic post, is a thing of artistic beauty whose lettering and coloring harmonizes well with Its sur-Yesterday was the last day for pre- j roundings.

Reviving the dramatic spirit of the Middle Ages, Gilmor Brown’s class in 'Play Production will enact “Noah’s Deluge” in Bovard Auditorium next Tuesday morning at the regular assembly hour. The modern drama of the world owes little or nothing to the classical drama of Greece and Rome, but traces its descent directly to the plays that sprang out of the mediaeval church ritual.
The mystery plays, abounding in rough but excellent comedy, as well as the more serious elements of life, represented the peak of sacred plays and for centuries were the only outlet for the dramatic energies of the people. Mr. Brown, who is producing director of the Pasadena Community Playhouse Association, has gone back to this period for his class play this summer.
The ancient text of the deluge episode wilhbe strictly preserved by the players, and the costumes will be as nearly as possible like those employed In mediaeval England. Due to the cost of production, a nominal admission fee will be charged, with no reserved seats.
