Neither Steve McClave. Eddie Hart

with greater success thar was his share
this year. He has learned q lot and de-
serves another chance.
With all duo regard for Princeton

body who would really qualify for the
Job of head coach In the event Rush
were removed: All the names you might
mention would ht In we'll as assistant

There has been a great deal of COM
ment about Princeton not coming up Il
expectations and there has been Q va
riety OF solutions offered. Speedy Rush
had a wonderful defensive team. but II
did not have q co~rrespondingly strong
attack. A cam must have an offence ia
win. There Is no question that Rush
had good material. but fumbling makes
the best material in the world look bad.
Rush was not responsible for the rum

the way to Yale's victory. The negli-

been going for eight years. and he has
nothing IN his repertoire that 10 not

Senator Curtis is confident of the

Kansas gas rate controversies will

utilities commission. Notices of the
hearing have been sent to representa-
tives of the Kansas Natural Gas COM
pany and various cities interested in
the new gas rate schedule.
Under the law the commission is
required to give thirty days notice
concerning a rate hearing The new
rate as posted by the gas company
however became effective i'm
mediately. Evidence in the hearing
will concern the rs cent rate ordered
by the state commission in December
last year, and the new rates as pub

In deciding the % cent rate case,
the federal court held the rate was
confiscatory. In order to dodge
trouble with federal courts, the state
commission must provide a rate in
excess of the December ruling Should
the gas company refuse to accept the
rate, it may then go back to the fed
eral court for a determination of the
justice of the rate ordered by the
state commission. The new rate'is 35

Why Should V. S. Worry With
40 Billion Increase!
Saws After-War Collapse OF
Business Is Impossible.

New York. Sept. 22.-American
business men aided by the federal
reserve bank system will be able sue
cessfu1ly to withstand the shock of
European competition after the war in
the opinion of Charles Hamlin,
member and former governor OF
the federal reserve board. His
views were expressed at the annual
dinner of the institute of accounts last
night. He said in part:
II estimate that the wealth of the
United States has increased during the
last two years by $40,000,OO0,000.
Bank deposits have increased between
Sc, 600, 100000 and $1,000, 100000 and
the stock of gold has increased more
than 100000. Since the first of
the year, the importations of gold
have amounted to 100000.
NO nation in the world has ever
enjoyed the prosperity that this coan-
try now enjoys.
Never again will this country see
collapse of credit such as we have
often seen in the past. L am convinced
that the great prosperity of the coun-
try is only forerunner of greater
prosperity in the future"
