POLICE TO HURL TEAR
BOMBS AT N. Y. CRIMINALS
Tear bombs and gas masks will
be used by the New York police to
war on criminals.
The board of aldermen has been
requested to appropriate 500 bombs
and 100 gas masks for experimental
purposes.
A single tear bomb would be eff
fective enough to render helpless
more than a dozen rioters, according
to Police Captain Charles e. Scho-
field, Of the police training school.
It is proposed by the police to use
the bombs to drive from cellars and
roofs thieves and gangsters who
take refuge in those places, ready
to kill.
The masks wanted by the police
are similar to those used in the
world war.

FAIR COED GETS UTE
L0QUAcIOUS IN DISCUSSION

Signing herself simply "Co-ed," q
University of Nevada girl in q terse
letter to the editor of the University
Sagebrush takes the men on the hill
to task for criticising the present
prevailing dress among the girls
on the campus and incidentally
discusses the use of cigarettes
among the feminine population.
Her letter, which closes with this
statement, "a man is as old as he
feels" is as follows:
Judging from the last edition of
the Sagebrush, the campus paper
seems to have caught the press criti-
cism of the styles and habits of
college women. / would like to ask
If the male population has forgotten
that woman suffrage became national
several years ago, giving women
equal rights with men.
"You criticise smoking in women.
What are your reasons? Simply
that it is not the custom. You OBJ
ject to big boots and 'trous.' State
your reasons. Why, if women find
them more convenient during the
stormy weather, should they not
wear them? Your mothers didn't?
No, but your sisters do. Finally,
you harp on fashions. The fashion
designers of the world are men.
If you would change the fashions
that is your privilege; become a
designer and the problem is solved.
'Instead Of continually worrying
about the declining moral standards
of women, say, watch your own
standards. See that they warrant
your harping and preaching to your
moral superiors. AS to objections to
college women or women Of any
age calling themselves girls, recall
the saying, "that a man is as old as
he feels"
And in answer to the letter the
editor of the Sagebrush discusses
at length the prevailing customs
and declares that the modern
iona d'Co-ed has arrived on the
campus and wishes her luck in her
crusade against the criticism of
mere men. Taking up the various
questions asked, the editorial says
the habit of smoking is not to be
condemned but trolling your own
has tendency to coloring your fing-
ers." It says it is becoming harder
every day to distinguish men from
women now that women are wear
ing trousers, high boots and bodied
hair and then the editorial suggests
that women are really girls and that
some mark of distinction between
ages should be used such as young
girls" "girls," and "old girls"
And this is the concluding para
graph:
Imagine the embarrassment of
having some one make a date for a
fellow, calling him up and saying,
Yes, I've got a swell girl for you,"
he finds that she was his grand
fathers first sweetheart"

u. S. RECEIVES I
FIFTY MILLIONS

New York, Oct. 15.-The British
will make the. first payment of in
terest on their American war loans to
the United States government to-
morrow when checks and treasury
certificates totaling $6O,e00, 900 will
be paid to the federal reserve bank
here for the account of the treasurer
Of the United States by J. p. Morgan
A Co. acting as agents Of the British
government. @
The British war loans of approxi-
mately $4,50O,O0O 900 have been for
some time the center Of discussion re-
garding the payment to this country
by her war allies of war loans of more
than $11,O00,O 100000. A British COM
mission with power to negotiate
terms for the payment of the British
loans is expected to arrive here soon
to discuss the situation with Wash
ington officials. According to unoffi-
cial advices from London, Great Brit
ain has promised full payment.
Previous payments to the United
States by the British government
have been for amounts of purchases
of silver amounting to several hun
dred millions of dollars made during
the war for the purpose of stabilizing
currencies of India and other British
colonies.
For several months the British gov
eminent has been sending gold to
this country and also buying dollar
exchange in anticipation of the first
interest payment on the war loans.
j. P. Morgan & Co. estimated the
gold shipments at between $25 ,OOO,-
900 and $3O,000,000. This gol was
turned over to the subtreasury here
and after the amount had been de-
termined by assay the proceeds were
turned over to the Morgan firm In
the form of check drawn on the
federal reserve banks. Smaller funds
were also accumulated in member
banks of the federal reserve system,
about ten checks being drawn on the
various depositaries of the British in
terest fund as well as q quantity of
United States treasury certificates
maturing October 16, making an ex-
act $50,000,000, which will make up
the first interest payment.

ing here as to whether tomorrow's
payment will be considered by the
