Port Au Prince. November 1S.-In preparation for the first national rifle match to be held in Haiti, the American officers of the Haitian gendarmerie are engrossed in teach ing their native riflemen how to wink. When rifle practice was taken up in earnest for the first time this year among the native troops their fronted with the practically universal failure of the gendarmes to close their left eye when sighting along the Springfield barrels.
 Experiments showed that they were unable to close one eye with otu closing the other, or to open one eye without opening the other. At first the expedlent of putting patch over the left eye, or tying a hand kerchief across it, had to be resorted to. As this did not prove satisfac- tory Gen. Douglas c.

 At the recent departmental shoots. held to select eight man teams for the national match. the scores made by the leading gendarmes would have compared creditably with that of the more experienced marines. The gendarmes are absorbed in their newly found skill, and the spirit of rivalry is so keen that President Borno has offered to the best indi- vidual shot gold watch and an autographed letter of commendation.

Students Criticized
 As Too Extrauagant
By Associated Press

London, November 1S.-Much criti- cism has been directed against the faculties of Cambridge and Oxford. as being responsible for the extrava- gant life lead by many of the under graduates of the universities. The subject gained wide publicity recent ly when a student committed suicide because of financial difficulties.
 Dr. Farnell, vice chancellor of Ox- ford university, in his address at the opening of the fall semester, said he had to admit that complaints, oc- easionally lodged against undergrad uates of extravant living. were not altogether with foundation. He blamed the local shopkeepers for giv- ing students credit, and urged that students be limited in the amount of money allowed them.
 Dr. Farnell pointed out that the days of "Pendennis,' when under graduates were allowed to have par ties in their rooms and to be with out restrictions out of school hours. had gradually come to an end, and he said that nowadays cases of drinking among students were all most unknown.
