Although track meets for the Los

Speaking of the activity of the squad
yesterday afternoon, Coach Noble said
LAS yet, we are not certain whether
or not we will compete in the county
meet and there is nothing certain in
the schedule until the coming South
ern California high school meet, but,
nevertheless, there will be no letup in
the workouts and when we do COM

sahib is busy. The native knows what
he means and he will drop eight annas
or a rupee into his hand. He is then
introduced to the chief clerk, and II
his business is of sufficient importance
he may have to pay five rupees more
before he goes farther. If he does not
offer to pay he will probably be told
to call around tomorrow, and 1t may
be days before he can get to my office.
This is so in nearly all cases. We know
