NORMAL NOTES

Just to see how really intelligent
we are, on Wednesday We were privi-
legged to take an intelligence test.
The time allowed was from five sec
onds to five minutes for the different
sections. At the conclusion of the
ordeal, the opinion of each student,
as revealed in various comments,
seemed to be that he was mentally
deficient. However, we have not had
a report from the authorities as to
the result and perhaps we are not so
hopelessly dense as we fear.

AMERICAN ENGINEERS
CONSIDER ADOPTION
OF METRIC SYSTEM
National Headquarters of Association
Refers Matters to Local Chapter
for Opinion

Senate bill 4675, introduced In the
last congress by Senator Freyling-
husen, was referred by national head
quarters of the American Association
Of Engineers to the local chapter for
action ut the regular meeting in the
council chambers last evening. This
bill provides for the adoption Of the
metric system of weights and meas
ures as the standard for the United
States. Since professional engineers
more than any other profession would
be affected by such a radical change
in our units Of measurement, the assO-
citation desires an expression Of opin-
ion from its $4,000 members on this
important subject. After some dis
cussion the matter was referred to
the legislative committee for further
investigation and study with instruc-
tions to report with recommendations
at the next meeting.
The chapter also decided to hold
noon luncheons on the first and third
Tuesdays of the month at the Crane
restaurant. Ray Wood of the enter
tainment committee was quite evasive
when pressed for information regard
ing the program arranged for Tues
day, May II. declaring the plans
would not be divulged until that
time. He intimated, however, that
he had something worth while lined
up, including tenor solo by one OF
the well-known engineers about town.

the running for the championship OF
Southwestern Washington as a result
of the game with Rochester yester-
day. The score was to /.
This makes Olympia's twenty-first
consecutive victory since the spring
of 1920. Montesano will probably
play the locals for the championship
of this section of the state.
The game was close from the be-
ginning Of the first period to the end
Of the ninth inning, but due to Ernie
Cooper's excellent pitching. things
were always comparatively safe. Only
two hits were gotten off Cooper and
these occurred in the fourth inning.
Aspinwall made the one error of the
game, and this was due to some black
cat luck on first.
Cooper famed nine men and picked
up IL grounders. Koenig, Mills and
Norrie played almost perfect games.
Richardson Gets HO0dOO
Richardson took the box for Roch-
ester in the first inning. but the boy
from Olympia put the hoodoo sign
on him and he gave up the ghost.
Bigler stepped in for the rest of the
game and struck out II of our most
noteworthy hitters.
Young Foote will pitch in the game
here with Eatonville Tuesday. A
week from Friday Cooper will return
to the box when the locals 60 down
to clean up Chehalis.
Bremerton is seeking game with
Olympia as she has wiped up every
thing in that particular portion OF
the Sound, and Vancouver also is or

plans are on their way to the state
championship IL the next two games
