Oxford Co-eds
Debate Styles

London, July 13.-Thorny ques-
tions about the proper kit of the
Oxford university women students
are being put to the Junior Proc
tor, who is the one licensed au-
thority on fashion in academic
clothes.
He has decided that women
must come to examinations in a
skirt and coat of "subtuse hue"
which is the medieval ordinance
still in vogue, il not obeyed. for
mans attire.
Her blouse must be white, and
her tie must be black. This de-
cision does not end the fashion
masters problems. A complaint
was forwarded that the limp cap
which goes with the gown gives no
protection to complexion or neck
against the heat of the sun. Might
women undergraduates be allowed
to carry a parasol while wearing
cap and gown, and if so, of what
color or colors?
may be carried, but must be black
and white. 1t is probable that
"black or white" is meant, for no
parasol can be made more startling
than good magpie arrangement.

What S New
On
The M arket


While the price of eggs did not
change with shippers and a larg-
er number of the market men,
some stores today raised both
their buying and selling price
from 25 to 80 cents to 27 and 80
cents. This raise is largely due
to the farmers not bringing their
eggs to market.
Poultry looks scarce. There is
being very little offered to the
retail trade, but shippers report
that they are getting all they can
handle at the present quoted cash
prices.
New peas are completely off
the market. There is no supply
and whether there will be any Of
fered this week is uncertain. Old
potatoes are getting scarce at the
present price of two cents a
pound.
No reports from Newport re-
garding the fish supply had been
received this morning. The quail
ity of the present halibut offered
on the market has never been bet
ter.
For the last two weeks mer-
chants have not been using their
'own delivery trucks but have
been usii : the services of the
Merchants Auto Delivery. Most
OF them seem well satisfied with
the service both to themselves
and to their customers.

jority to meet the emergency caused by the lack of employment, and to give the unemployed, not charity which they have not sought, but work which they arc eager to do to go on earning an honest, sometimes diff cultly-won living by the sweat of their brows.
 Suggestions were made formally and informally, that are worthy of con- sideration. It was evident that the delegates wanted to know what their duties and rights were and wanted to provide for a future of success for the new plan which is to take the place
 ot tho city meeting
 One felt, from the atmosphere of thought and suggestion, that a check should be made on those present IT
 roll-call takes too much tlme' per-
 sons should be checked off as they
 enter.
 There is much in the suggestion that members of the board should
 know, through personal notlhcatloh' just what is to be passed upon at the meetings contemplated.
 A definite, authoritative opinion should be obtained before another meeting is called, interpreting the amendments of the charter pertain ing to these meetings.
 There was wisdom in the sugges- tion that the members be kept in- formed as to the bills before the Common Council. but that waa a mat ter which could not be discussed at
 last nights meeting, and the resolu- tion attempted to be introduced did not seem absolutely practical as it would result in making the members
 of the city meeting board practically members of the common council, only not possessing the vote.
 The Mayor, the Chairman of the board of finance and taxation, the city engineer and the men who spoke from
 the floor as we'll as those who merely voted as they saw fit are to be con- | graduated on making this first ses- sion of the City Meeting Board the | success it was and for refraining from | injecting into the atmosphere any
 thing that would take from the fine spirit that was displayed.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The more a man appreciates his freedom, his independence, the more keenly he feels his obligations to others, if his conception of freedom and independence is the correct one.
 The more a nation appreciates its freedom and independence, the keen ed should grow the realization of what that independence entails.
 If the world were full of men Who' Saving declared their independence, travelled about doing just as they pleased without thought of others II would be an unhappy world indeed,
 If, on the other hand, all men were willing to remain slaves, caring nothing for independence, doing as they were told and being taken care of in return for such obedience, they would owe little to others who would be obliged to live as others lived, ex- pecting nothing from their neighbors, expecting all from those they obeyed.
 The student who is watched in an examination to prevent his cheating is far more inclined to excuse himself for that cheating he finds it possible to accom- mplish, than is the student who is placed on his honor, or who has declared himself an honorable, inde- pendent person.
 Trust begets trust. declaration of independence demands trust and only the trustworthy deserve that inde- pendence.
 So with nations. While nation is under the yoke of another it must take what that other gives it. The com- manding nation expects loyalty, but little more No original inspiration or lofty ideal is fostered.
 When that nation declares its inde- pendence, as did our country on the Fourth Day of July, 1776, it not only asserted it's rights, but it took upon itself the obligation of using that in dependence as freedom and inde- pedence should be used.
 With our power ever increasing, and our position in the world rising to the point beyond which our minds may no zee, our obligations to the rest of tht world become greater as our pride il our country and the realization of ou independence become more intense.
 On this Fourth of July, 1921, WI will celebrate the day with a deepe sense of obligation because of tn fuller joy we feel in the glory of ou country.

THE NEED OF TARIFF,

The facts on which comment was based in the editorial columns of The Herald recently, as to the cheapnesa with which articles could be manu- factured in Germany as compared to America-and which facts are auth ritative-indicate pretty we'll the need of the proper tariff legislation.
 It is noted today that President Harding has given leaders of the House warning that haste is necessary in this regard.
 No thinking man could do less. It is not especially to be wondered at that President Harding has done this obvious thing, and no especial credit will be given him by some for insist ing on speedy consideration of this matter, if. in fact, he has done so.
 It is another case where much ia

systematic the city's buying and to
 secure necessities at the lowest fig ure possible. It will be a distinct dis appointment if they fail
 The idea of having central purchas- ing authority in New Britain will be on trial when the board assumes full control of the office. Heretofore, de partments have bought their own SUD- plies and it is probable that many val uable dollars were wasted Because Of the belief that economy could be best effected through the functioning of a central purchasing office, an amendment to the charter was adopt ed authorizing the mayor to appoint | the purchasing commission. Protag onlsts of the idea will watch sharply to see whether their expectations are l TO be fulfilled, While it can be predict | ed without much fear of contradiction l that antagonists of the idea, consist l ing chiefly of department commission | CTS themselves, will watch just as sharply to see where they can pick | flaws in the work of the new board
 Mayor Curtis has also been fortu- l nate in securing the services of good
 men for his building commission | More responsibility than the .vera ye
 citizen realizes rests with this board Which is made up practically mer l thoroughly familiar with buiIdins problems.
 It is hoped-and pred1cted-that 1 the new city plan commission will show deeper interest in it's work than | did that which was appointed several
 years ago and which remained dorm.
 ant. The new, enlarged board Nil
 have many opportunities to advise | betterments. Men and women o1 | broad views and the expert knowledge
 which will be expected of them ir

 should be the most important in the
