STUDENTS OPPOSE TRAINING
Penn Daily Criticizes Effort to Es.

Penn students are wearied Of things

effort to establish a reserve officers

frankly expressed, Of the Pennsylva-
nian. the student daily at the University
of Pennsylvania.
The students, now that they are
through with the S. A. It. c., want to
get down TO their books, says the Penn
sylvanian. The government, II believes.
is making a ''pcor" move in trying to
re-establish an officers training class at

Says the student publication:

MORE SINFUL IN SUMMER
Morality Varies With the Thermomt
eter, According to Head Of,
London Police. "a.


London.-"Women are proving muct
more suitable for certain kinds ot
police work than men," is the verdict
Of General Sir Neville Macready. com
missioner Of police. after several
months trial of policewomen.
''The idea of women police was con
ceived about year ago." he added
I'VE decided to experiment. The
women had the three months training
and when sent out were quite as eff
cient as the ordinary male policeman
"The girls and women who came
to them in the streets when in trouble
would undoubtedly be too shy to ap
proach an ordinary constable"
Asked If the use Of policewomen had
decreased immortality, the commits
sioner replied: =
'Immorality varies with the thermom'
eter. The evil is generally more prev
alent in the summer than in the win
ter and do not fhink the women have
had a fair experiment yet.
"However,. I am now arranging fol
our winter campaign, and we are con
sidering establishing hotels where girlf
may be treated. Our welfare depart
ments report that 95 girls have passed
through homes and infirmaries, many
Of them being between fifteen and
nineteen years old. Some of the old
army huts may be used for this pur'

PIGS GET INTOXICATED
Fed Upon Great Quantities Of Rice
and Corn Mash.

wow
Reports that a herd OF pigs was
acting In an unseemly manner on
a hog ranch near Auburn, Wash. led
to an investigation by county authori-
ties and federal sleuths who are trail
Ing liquor law violators. The porkers
were found to be in an intoxicated
condition, some of the herd being close
to the stage when cerise striped ze-
bras, azure-blue balloons and Nile
green ant eaters might have caused
unrest in the pens. y
The condition of the herd was found
to have been due to the pigs having
been fed vast quantities of rice and
corn liquor mash, which had been
dumped from watts when an adjoining
farm had been raided and Japanese
were found to be operating a whisky
still In a wholesale manner.
A veterinary was summoned to as
sist the pigs through the hangover
