Britain. But the immense volume of credits that
America has established in Europe has given far
greater sum than ever before to check against in
selling exchange. For which reason so much ex-
change was thrown or the market that pressure to
sell put value of the sovereign in exchange in New
York, Boston and other points to but $438. At one
time was less than ST. but it has improved of late
Given conditions described, Spozoni's method
was to take the money confided to him by investors,
and with it buy exchange upon London, or on Rome,
or any European capital where there was wide diff
ference between the normal land postaD rate of eX-
change and the actual rate. He would purchase ex-
change on London at S4.38 and straightway the ex-
change was sent to an agent in London, who cashed
it for sovereigns Then with the sovereigns the
agent went to the London post office, buying there
international money orders on Boston. which were
cashed upon presentation at the post office in the
latter city, at the normal rate Of exchange; and Mr.
Spozoni had made half dollar on every dollar he
had put into London exchange, by drawing 1888 at
the post office for what had cost him but 438 at the
bank It had made the round in but about ten days.
When exchange was down to 81 he made SO cents on
each dollar in transaction
According to newspaper accounts Spozoni's chief
dealings of late have been with Rome, depreciation
of the italian lire being more nearly alike that of the
English sovereign when exchange in New York and
Boston was below the 81 mark Mr. Spozoni is quot

is reported that he is qudating matured contracts

banks and express companies in New York. Boston,

Spaniards Are
 Anxious To Get
 U. $. Passports

Madrid, Mar. 1S.-The applications for vtses for passports for America received at the American consulate in Madrid has, since the beginning of the year, exceeded all recent records. Most of the applicants come from the province of Salamanca, some of the smaller villages of which have been practically de-populated owing to the departure of these emigrants. They are chiefly farm laborers with a fair sprinkling however, of skilled artisans, bricklayers especially being attracted by the wages in America
 Some of the emigrants take their families with them. The majority however, either wait until they have prepared a home for them, or gather a little fortune together and return to Spain to live on the income, in creased by working a small plot of land. Often however, even these re- turn to the consulate for a second wise to go across and when asked for how long they want it, invariably re- ply forever"

The firms now cooperating with the Government have total staffs of about ], 1,650,O0O men, which on the per cent. basis would require about S2,0O0 disabled men, whereas the total number for whom employment has been found is 1000.

Detroit Club Will
 Have Bouts Just for
 Evening Dress Crowd
By WILD SWING

There is an old eaying: eff you would safely renounce a. joy, you had best enjoy something of it ffrst.'' All of which brings us to our story.
 We have never attended a prize fight in full dress. Consequently we cannot say whether it would be joy to have prize fights formal. We will leave the renouncing of said joy (providing it Is one) to those who have enjoyed something of it. Hav- ing rid ourselves of all this super fous preface we will get right down to business and tell you a good one.
 The Detroit Boxing Club is con- templating establishing itself as a sister organization to the National Sporting Club of London. This means that in the near future a box ing contest at the D. B. c. insofar as the spectator is concerned, will be a social function. It means that in order to pass muster at the gates of the arena one must be garbed in full dress. Naturally, since the affair is to be formal it means that ladies will be present They will come bedecked in their idea of fashion. There will be low neck gowns, bewildering as- sortments of pearls diamonds and other rare jewels; there will be os- trich feather fans and pleasing odors of fragrant perfumes.
 How do we know for sure that the Detroit Boxing Club ts +N resort to formal affairs? Lou Bycroft, secre- tary and treasurer of the D. B. c. has typed a letter which has been sent to the National Sporting Club in London. Now you believe don't you
 If you are a fight fan and desire to see the boys in action, you will have to drag out the old tombstone front, shine off the silk lid, buy yourself a new set of studs, a new pair of cuff links, a back collar but ton,y and a pair of patent leather kicks. And, don't forget this: you will have to cut out such stuff a.

COLLEGES PLAN
 COMMON YEAR

New Haven, Mar. 13.-Yale has taken the lead in an attempt to as- sure a common calendar or school year, and a circular letter urging such an innovation has been sent to six teen Eastern universities, including Harvard, Princeton and the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania.
 Prof. Robert N. Corwin, '87, chair man of the university calendar com mittee said today that Yale strongly favors the project, believing that uni formity of college calendars will per- init much more effective use of the college year than is now possible.
 He said that, since the close of the world war American universities have recognized more generally than ever before the necessity of readjusting their activities to new conditions and of testing the efficiency of their pres ent machinery of production. To this end it is designed that the college year be made synobronous in Ameri- can institutions and that measures be taken to arrange the necessary re- cesses or short vacations so that in reference with college work will be 1essened.
 Statistics received from sixteen uni versailles show a wide variation in
 
 holidays observed, but a unanimous | desire is expressed by all to adopt uniform calendars and number of days devoted to academic work At 1 the present time no two vacation date at Harvard, Princeton and Yale cor respond, either in beginning or in l duration.
 Yale is the only university which | does not recognize Washington s Birthday, while Princeton alone has regular classes on Memorial Day. All l three universities vary in number of 1 academic working days. In the six i teen universities an average of POS recitation days was found to be fn l force whereas approximately thirty l two days in the academic year re- main unused.
 The sixteen universities which have | opened correspondence relative to harmonizing their calendar year and vacations are as follows: Amherst Boston, Bowdoin, Brown, Dartmouth [ Harvard, Massachusetts Institute ot Technology, Midd1ebury, Princeton Trinity, Tufts, University of Maine | University of Vermont, Wesleyan Williams and Yale.

ELKS AND THEIR FRIENDS PLAN
 FOR BIG NIGHT

The esquire will not ask the pass word of everyone who enters the Park theatre, Monday night, the +tGa1a Night of Bridgeport lodge. No. 36, B. P. Q. E., when Charlotte Greenwood will appear in 'Linger Longer Letty,'' but the fact is that the audience will be largely made up of Elks and their friends. The proceeds of the performance are to go entirely to the building fund of Bridgeport lodge.
 Joseph Barraja-Frauenfe1de chair man of the committee of arrange ments, said at the Elks' club last night, where he is available each evening for the purchase of the few remaining seats for Monday nigh>. blrat the seats a1located to the general public will be placed on sale at the box office of the Park theatre, Sun day night.
 A record of more than 20 years, all spent, with a single exception, in musical comedy is the proud boast of Oscar FTgman, who will appear
 with Charlotte Greenwood in the new Morosco musical show, 'Linger Longer Letty.''
 That single exception, by the way, is not generally known in the east where MT. Fignan has many admir- CTS, for the reason that it took him
 west with one of the companies ap- bearing in GA Pair of Sixes,'' one o1 | the last of Harry Frazee's produc- tions.
 Another remarkable feature of tha1 l company is that it took MT. Figmar ] into a territory in which his equally celebrated brother, Max, has been | favorite for years. Seldom have tn, 1 two brothers met in the course O | their professional travels, owing t the fact that Oscars activities hav
 been confined almost exclusively t | New York productions

 In Mirrors to See

Philadelphia, March 13.-Two hun dred University of Pennsylvania oars men spend two hours each after noon gazing at themselves in large mirrors, in order that they may cor rect errors in their rowing form
 It is the opinion of Coach Wright that mirrors are invaluable to crew candidates.
 ''Every man out for my eights must watch the mirrors he says. ..The value of the mirrors is inesti- rnable in showing the mistakes and weaknesses og the oarsmen. For instance, my stroke can see the mis- takes each man is making as soon as the slip occurs. He can immediately correct them-"
