London.-The taxi shortage in Lon
don has caused the public to fill the
mail bags of the local newspapers
with complaints regarding the lnso-
lence of drivers and whlstllng nui-
sance. During rush hours, especially
during dinner and theatre times, drlV-
ers often refuse to take fares unless
they chance to be going in the direc-
ton the driver favors. This is due
to the rule that drivers when not
carrying passengers must pay iof
their own gasoline. A movement for
law to prevent the use OF whistles
to call taxis is suggested, but whiie
putting down a nuisance, it would mol
| help transportation facilities.
The real trouble is traced TO the
enlistment of competent drivers. BE-
cause of this, some of the taxi conf
panies have temporarily reired from
business. Scotland Yard has MN
dered the substitution of new drivers

The belief that childrens diseases

young than by adults is widely accept
ed. That belief is exactly contrary to
fact. Not only does a persons liza
bility to catch them decrease with age,
but the percentage of cases that ter

The longer measles or whooping
cough can be postponed, the less liza
bility is there of Infection, and the
greater likelihood of recovery. If a
child escapes those complaints during
the first five years of life, the danger
from them is comparatively small.

"A" AMENDMENT DEFEATED
All Students Voted at
the Election

The election held Thursday at
the high school for voting on the
proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition of the Athletic association,
resulted in an overwhelming defeat.
The official figures of the vote show
38 in favor and 1853 against ma
jority of 1870.
The proposed amendment provid-
ed that AS of certain designs shall
be awarded to members of orches-
ira, boys and girls glee clubs, and
second football team upon recon-
mendation of coach or director OF
each organization. The question OF
giving AS to members of the must
cal organizations seemingly aroused
little interest. In fact, that phase of
the amendment was barely mention
ed by those arguing pro and con.
The most effective campaigning
was done Wednesday morning In
chapel when Harley Little and
mike" Ewald, members of the first
and second teams, respectively, ar
gued opposite sides of the question.
OF course S'Mike" proved that the
second teamers really deserved AS
since they go out and get beaten
to pulp" Just for the benefit of the
first team and Harley Immediately
proceeded to show that If they are
MT willing to go out and get beat
en- up" they have no school spirit
and consequently don't deserve AS.
In order to become a part OF the
it would have been
necessary to have majority Of two
thirds of all voting in favor of the
amendment. The second team men
have been campaigning vigorously
and the defeat was certainly not due
to their lack of oratorical efforts.
For some reason there was decisive
opposition by a large part of the
student body-hence the downcast
spirits of the second team fellows
who seem to be doomed to go un-
decorated.
The voting was carried on in true
election style. Voting booths were
