Boxing Is Popular
Among British Soldiers

The introduction Of the manly art Of
self-defence into the training work Of
the various military camps throughout
this country will be a good thing for
the young soldiers.
In England boxing has for a long
time been encouraged in the army and
navy.
Many noted British professionals are
men who learned 10 box while serving
in the ranks or on shipboard in the
royal service.
1t is a certainty that from now on
the same ideas will be carried out in
this country, and it is sure to follow
that boxing gloves will be q part Of the
American soldiers and Of every Ameri-
can man-of-war.

N. Y. u. Gets Ready
For the Gridiron

F. II. Cam, director Of athletics at
New York University, announced that
q final decision has been made to sup
port a football team this season. DR..
would be in line with the decision
reached at the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Associations congress early in
August and that no training would be
INDUCED in until college opened on
September "a.
The decision to have an eleven was
made in face of the fact that the un-
versity has neither coach nor apparent
material for a team. Or the twenty
seven men who made up the varsity
squad last season only three will be
back. Csptain-elect Howard Cam has
a commission as ensign in the navy
and is at Annapolis.
Dick Eustis, Of Wesleyan, head coach
last season, is in the Aviation Corps.
His brother, Elmer, WHO helped him,
is at Plsttsburg. Tom Reilly, the old
coach, who would have been called or,
is with the old seth.
There is possibility that Wiener,
the old tackle, will be asked to take up
the work. The schedule will wind up
with the annual game with Columbia
on November "a at South Field.
Columbia's decision to play football
no doubt had some influence on n.

Blazing the Trail

Not until this year has the trade
ever succeeded in raising the prices
Of goods without resorting to the prac-
tice Of making a smaller size or a
smaller package. The cigar manufac-
turer approached the crisis with fall
tering steps. He hesitated TO take ac-
ton. and he was entitled to hold a
certain amount of doubt and misappre-
hension. II had never been done be-
fore. To those bold and adventurous
price raisers who pioneered the way
the entire trade is indebted. II is now
safe TO assume that cigar prices will
be more inclined 10 rise and fall with
the natural conditions Of trade, in
response 10 the laws Of supply and
demand, than ever before. If it can
be done in the cigar trade it may
also be accomplished by tobacco and
cigarette manufacturers. There is
little doubt but that the first few
months Of the new year will find a
general advance in the prices Of other
tobacco products. The cigar men have
proved that their prices can be made
to respond to the natural laws Of
trade. And if they can accompliN IL

From Trade Organs
Topography Of Trade

Peace will bring an era Of rcadIust-
ment. Some Of the imitation will be
taken out Of our prosperity. From
the standpoint Of economics this Will
be a good thing. II is far better to
fight for trade on a broad and firm
financial foundation rather than on a
dizzy pinnacle. Business charts show
peaks. valleys and plateaus, and the
economist knows that our best trade
is enjoyed on plateau. ReadJust-
ment does not mean depression, but
reimbursement can be turned into de-
preston if the proper care IS not
taken. To become alarmed at the low
ering Of staple prices from inflated
levels to what in normal times would
be considered high levels will only
serve 20 force prices to below normal
levels. American manufacturers Of all
kinds are loaded up with raw materials
that cost them two or three times
what they usually do. These high cost
raw materials must be turned into mn
ished products and sent into consump-
ton. The manufacturer, the jobber'
the dealer and finally the ultimate
consumer must be prepared to absorb
these high priced goods If one link
in the chain proves weak then serious
industrial reaction can be looked for.
