LITERARYSO REJECT Of Progressive Party Bill Resolved That Congress Be Given Power To Override Supreme Court "Resolved that the Euphradian So ciety go on record as being intensely J opposed to the bill proposed by, the Propressive party on the night of No vember 19, 1935," was adopted by the Euphradian Literary Society just be fore it adjourned last Tuesday night. V This resolution had reference to the p international query for debate, "Re- ti solved that Congress should have the r4 power to override, by a two-thirds Il majority vote, the decisions of the su- S preme court declaring laws passed by c< Congress unconstitutional." During the business session of the si meeting Vivian Morse, chairman of the Student Board of 'Publications, tl made a report in regard to the status h of the members of the "Gamecock" h staff. This report was made in con- h sequence of a motion passed by the V ' society on the night of November 12 tI to have the secretary communicate b with the Euphradian's two representa tives on the board and instruct them si to investigate whether or not certain c members of the "Gamecock" staff were affiliated with a literary society and si whether they were in good standing. ti The report was favorable. The names of five men were pro- c posed for membership and passed on. so They are Albert Douglas, Shannon P Mims, Hunt Graham, Morris Brody, and Stokes Goolesby, the latter three si being initiated immediately upon their tl being accepted.

' Vhile at Carolina he was a member of v ie Euphradian Society, and is a mem- h er of Sigma Nu social fraternity. t Professor H. C. Davis, of the Univer ty English faculty, writes by way of u Iiticism: "You rise to upper levels of expres- v on, with poise, and choiceness of tone t iat maintains the feeling you awaken." u The Press and Standard, Walterboro, e )mmended the make up of the book, de- v :ribing it as one to be 'inserted into your v )cket and read at odd moments. "The bits of prose are, we suspect, s ray thoughts which came to the au- s ior, at just such leisure moments. And v hen the mind is taking a holiday, the i est thoughts have a trick of slipping 3 and taking possession. These the au hor was .wise to capture." t He also said that he was greatly a harmed by the hook. "There is so d iuch which embodies the kindness 3 at seems to flow over the whole v outhland. More especially did I like C [he Rose-Bud Girl,' which seems like plaquette of bronze with lines made f gentleness." s Dr. John A. F. Maynard, French lit- 1 rary critic, and pastor of the Hugue ot Church of New York, said: "I am sure that every reader of this dmirable little book will have added to ie stature of his soul." The News and Courier said: This small volume of poems is redo nt of the atmosphere of South Caro na, especially the coastal region-Mr. I )eTreville has dedicated his book to his riend and preceptor, Doctor Snowden, a a tribute of much beauty."

If people sc rould seek justice all religious ques- c ions could be settled; if Italy and .thiopia would seek justice they could w ettle their difficulties. m "If we wd6ld build a life that is te forth while, we must prize purity. ou "hen we must value those things hich are lovely, for it is these which tr elp us to aid others. Paul said to le hink on these virtures. of "When we find ourselves thinking th pon the opposite of these virtues, or ve must exercise self discipline. One al vay we can help build character is read good books, because they help s to think on these virtues. Nearly very great man had a certain book vhich he read a great deal and which was a great factor in shaping his life. "Another thing that we need is to pend time in prayer and meditation, 1 o that we will think of these things which are most worthwhile in life. M ro attend services at the church of 'our choice will help also. "As a man thinks, so he is. As we hink upon these virtues they become . part of us and are found in our aily conduct.

Y.-(ACP)-What may )rove to be another milestone on ti man's long road toward a cancer cure 0 nas been uncovered by Dr. W. F. h Bruce, instructor and research worker a< n the chemistry department of Cornell b' University, who has isolated a new material called the most active sub- Pt stance now known for the production O1 > cancer. This new substance-a hydrocarbon ta :alled methylcholranthene-was dis :overed while Dr. Bruce was pursu- g" ng an investigation begun by English ti, scientists. They had discovered that al the skin cancer so prevalent among workers with coal tar is caused by a >articular hydrocarbon occurring nat irally in the coal tar. "It is necessary," says Dr. Bruce, 'that a rational idea of the cause of :ancer be obtained before a cure can be instituted. Positive proof of the ibility of the new substance to initiate :ancer has been demonstrated. "From the medical point of view, the field of cancer research has been characterized by a leading investiga tor as 'hard and stony ground.' There fore, the work of the organic chemist would appear to offer a new and en mouraging method of approach to the problems of this field." of --v.

Cigarettes contain pyrodine, am monia, carbon monoxide, as well as nicotine, all harmful to the human body, according to a pamphlet recently sent to a chemistry professor at the University. The amount of nicotine in one cigar, if injected intravenously, would be enough for two fatal doses. A snake can be killed in a few minutes by a small amount of tobacco, from the mouth of a tobacco-chewer, and a calf or large dog will be killed by a drop of concentrated nicotine.
