PAPER MARKET TAKES
ANOTHER BIG HIKE

Just about the time we were be-
ginning to think the paper market
was due for a slump we received a
new catalogue and to our horror
found that all grades of paper had
taken a sharp advance. On some

common grades are up from three

The present year.

it is expected there will be in the

|36 FIRES IN 1919; S.
THUS FAR FOR 1920
Property Loss in Richmond VIII
Show Big Increase as a Re-
sule-New Equipment

Reports from the Richmond fire
department thus far show more than
onc-half as many more fires in the
city during the present year as last,
with another week to come, there
having been SO calls thus far this
year over SO for the entire year of
1910.
The property loss, reports will
show, has been much greater as re-
suit, although there were but few big
fires during the twelve months. The
expense to the city will be according
ly increased, owing to the fact that
the volunteer fremen are paid SO
much per trip. Acting Chief Nose
Nelson, reports that with the equip
mcnt recently ordered for the depart
mont, consisting of new coats, boots,
nczzles and hose, there will be much
better facilities for fighting fires.
The number of fires per month for
the past and present years thus far
were as follow.

president of the senior class and OF the
athletic board as we'll as an officer Of
the student council.
Hardly five feet in height with broad
shoulders and well-shaped head COW
cred With dark, curly hair. he presents
a strange sight on the campus among
the older students.
Riding on the backs of the different
frosh relay runners in the freshman
sophomore scrap. Williams proved the
hero of the event. With I25 pounds to
carry, the sophs labored far In the rear

NO INCREASE IN ARMY

Washington. D. c. Jan. 16.-Army
officers will be interested. not 10 say
annoyed and disappointed, to learn
that there is very little prospect Of
passage at this congress OF the Crago
bill 10 increase their salaries. Many
OF these officers, particularly below
the rank o. major, have been count
ing heavily on the increases.
Representative Mondeu. majority
leader in the house. today in an in
terview dashed the hopes for the in
creases Mr.. Mondeil said:
"Ali classes OF government en-
ployes should receive substantial in
creases in pay, except those who are
now drawing comparatively large sal
aries. Among those who should re-
ceive Increases are the lower ranks

listed men Though congress fs will

how il can be done. because the
money is not in sight 20 do Il with.
The war department, in its annual
estimates TO congress. did not in

CALLED
IN NAVY QUIZ

Washington. D. c, Jan. l6.-Rear
admiral VIM. :. Sims whose letter 20
secretary Daniels, recently declining
the distinguished service medal
awarded him, preeipitated the con-
troversy over the award OF naval
wartime honors. was the first wit
ness on the list OF those 70 appear
before the senate subcommittee TO-
day. according TO an announcement
by chairman Hale. II was expected
rear admiral Sims testimony would
take at least two days and would ia
clude a resume Of the entire subject
OF the naval conduct Of the war
OPENING the hearing, chairman
Hale said congress intended that the
award OF honOrs won by naval OF
ficers and men in time Of war should
be beyond the influence OF friend
ship, patronage or politics but that
there was a feeling over the country
that the intent OF congress had been
violated.
The purpose OF the committees in
vestigation was summed up by the
chairman as follows:
To throw the full light OF pub
iicity on any person or persons res
ponsible for lowering the value Of
naval wartime decorations 10 the
recipients and thus lowering the
morale OF the navy by allowing
friendship or politics 10 influence
such awards and 20 obtain full VIM
dication Of any persons who migaI
have been placed in a false light be-
fore the public as the result OF recent
charges
