SILENT
LETTERS PROVES
VERY EXPENSIVE

London-French is known to be a
language replete with letters silent so
far as pronunciation is CONCERNED,
English also has n goodly number of
examples Of lettering regarded In
some quarters as wasteful. Strike out
every letter and symbol not essential
In each language, and the total of the
yearly printing bills In both countries
could be reduced by S%40,00O.000.
This computation has been made by
French and English statisticians with
time on their hands and an interest
In the bizarre.
In the periodicals published in
France It was found that 1oS.0O0,000,-
900 letters arc used yearly whereof ~
per cent are useless.FE Casting these
aside would reduce French printing
costs by $4,000, 900. ii A.
In English periodicals Il was esti-
mated that IL per cont OF the printed
letters and symbols are unnecessary
and that the j space consumed or
printed sheets. by these unused letters
costs about SAT, 500, 900 a year.

Commercial Club Commute
Plans for Coming Win
ter Season.
Bx C. ID. LAcklin.

Although the commercial cluO VIM
ter sports committee has decided TO
abandon any attempt. to stage = car
nival in Grand Forks this winter, it
has outlined a policy that will mean
more to the city than a carnival
would at the present time II it carries
out it's policy. The decision to use
its hest efforts toward promoting all
cold weather sports during the entire
season, rather than to try TO hold a
carnival that would be lacking either
a curling bonspiel or a. bowling .our-
nament because of inability to ar
range dates, is a step toward hlg
ably mean that some time a fund
will be set aside annually for the use
Of sport tournaments.
Members of the Commercial CLUB
committee see great possibilities in
their organization and in order to
properly carry out a definite program
this winter it Ia probable that regal
lar meetings will be>held. The body
IL made up of representatives OF curl
eral who are boosters for all forms
of athletics, all who realize that thcre
are opportunities for doing a WORTH
while work,
Would Enlarge Field.
The decision to foster all winter
sports means first that the committee
| will get behind every sport that IL al
ready organized with the idea of en-
larging it's field and making its tour
naments more successful than they
have been in the past. 1t has already
taken steps to assist the Northwest
ern Bowling association to stage its
tournament here January IL to 20,
and sent representatives before the
park board last week to secure aid
for the repairing of the ski slide at
Lincoln park.
The committee will cooperate with
the ski enthusiasts this winter in the
promotion Of a tournament, and there
IL a possibility that even more thar
one will be held. At the last meeting
| 1t was thought possible that a small
tournament could be staged at the
time the hoWlers were here and jump
ers from the n~eishboring clubs invit-
cd in. In addition to this possibility
there will be a big meeting of skiiers
probably in February. which the com.
mittee will aid in making the largest
that has ever been attempted.

Arrangements for Proposed

G.Trotter.

he next boxing card in Grand
Forks will probably Be held on
the afternoon OF New Years day
under the auspices of Company
NJ, according to. Leslie G.. Trot-.
ter, promoter for the guard unit,
who said yesterday that neg6tia-.
tions were already under way to
stage the second ring entertain
rnent OF the season. As only pre-
liminary arrangements have been
made for the event, Trotter was
not in a position to say just what
the card would be, but he is in
communication with Kid Miller,
former Grand Forks Boxer, and
who is now located at Spokane,
Washington, and tho chances are
that Miller will be the main at
traction.
Willing to Return
Miller has signified his Willingness
to return to Grand Forks and net his
terms, the only question of his ap-
Dearance now is. whether or not the
price can.he met. The Kid Is In
different as to whom he meets; which
will make matters easy if his PROPOSE
ton is accepted. and Trotter has a list
of several tentative &soppopents, any
/. one of whom will assure the fans OF u
classy bout.
The promoter, said yesterday that
he. expected to stage a card Of either
30or 81 rounds, but had no announce
ment to make regarding any of the
bouts with the exception Of the main

Will Meet Anyone
MIller's last letter to Trotter said
that he was willing to meet any of the
welterweights in the country, and ad-
ded to that list several to whom he
would have to concede. weight and
most of them Miller would never have
consented to meeting before he left
Grand Forks. The list of possibilities
include Buddy Mcdonald, one Of the
toughest welters in this section; Silver
Perry, a late addition TO Mike Collins
and Mike Gibbons stable In st. Paul;
Stern5, the boy who defeated Perry
Bliveh in Valley City a couple OF
weeks ago, and another of the Collins.
Gibbons Grew; Homer Sheridan .oi
Sioux City, Ia. and severa! others.
While Miller was in Grand Forks
he fought as u middleNelght, but
since he has been onzthc coast he hat
trained down to the class below and
ia now making 149. This Ia giving him
a big advantage, as he Is 4 strong boy
