PHONOGRAPH USED
TO AID IN TEACHING
USE OF TYPEWRITERS

Minneapolis. -Minn.-In the belief
that music accompaniment aids type
writing students in acquiring rhyth-
mic and v e performance, a phono-
graph has been installed in the class
room of prospective typists at the
South high school here.
I~nstructure declare the melodic
strains, especially those Of the popu-
Lar fox trot time, r most valuable in
putting morale and adding ginger to
the f1ngertips.
There is no doubt of the value of
the musical accompaniment" one of
the instructors said. I'VE do not use
it all the time, but the advanced pu-
pills get it as an aid to acquiring
rythmic and even performance early
in the term. When they have begun
to write smoothly enough we discon-
tinue the music"
And it is the fingers only that dance
and the feet and shousSSrs Sre at ease

Announcer, Joe RabinOvitch,

Boxing fans in Grand Forks will
gather at the Orpheum hall tonight
to witness the opening card of 20
rounds which the new athletic club is
putting on there. The lard is in the
nature Of an experiment to see wheth-
er or not the local supporters of box
ing want to see bouts between local
men at moderate prices. The card this
evening is a purely local one and is
believed will draw a good sized crowd.
Howe Looks Good.
The main event will be an eight
round exhibition between kid" Mil
Ter and Howe and since looking over
the dusky boz in his training quar-
tiers the a are not at all sure that
Miller is going to have everything his
wi way. Howe is a lanky boy with
a long reach that will trouble the
Kid" considerably. Added to that he
is very fast. The question is how hard
he can hit and how much he can
stand.
ton know that he can take a fairly
good punch. In fact since he start
ed working here he has not even been
hoored. They also know he packs a
mean right. Two of his battles this
winter have been won by knockouts.
Lots of Action,
Lots of action is looked for in the
semi-windup. Not much is known
about Kimball. but the fact that he is
willing to stand up and trade wallops
with Ryder is recommendation for
his courage at least. Ryder may not
be much of a boxer, but if he hap
pens to land M of his wild ones, it
will be a case Of flights out"
Dudley and Spence, who will box
h curtain raiser, have appeared at a
preliminary event on several occasions
and always with satisfaction.
