By'No-Duelling'
Edict of School
By the Associated Press.

by tne AsSDClHten PTeSS.
BERLIN. May 1s.-Women stu
dents at Heidelberg University
are very unhappy because they are
not permitted to engage in duel
ling. All the other privileges of
the male students have been ac-
corded the women, but the facul-
ty has decided that il is not ad-
visable for women to slash each
others cheeks and scalps with
swords, and the six hundred wom-
en- students don't like the ruling.
They insist they have the same
rights as their brothers to engage
in sword contests if they choose
to do so.
The dueling season is now at its
height in Heidelberg. Many stu
dents may be seen on the streets
with gashes on their cheeks and
scalps., many of which are SO deep
that they have to be drawn to-
gether with sutures. The students
are so proud of their wounds that
they always wear them uncovered.
Women have been admitted to
Heidelberg since 1890 and now
number about one-fifth of all it's
attendance. They are in all the
departments While the women
have various vereins. they have no
clubs which have houses like the
men have had for centuries.
The women apparently do not
organize into sororities, as Amer
can university women do, but di-
vide into groups along religious
lines

department, il is known that a high
average OF hits was made, and the
entire schedule was carried out with
out any mishaps. The expedition left
Quantico under command of Capt j.

COTTON GROWING
 BY AUSTRALIANS M BETS SUCCESS.
More Than Double Acreage Is Now Expected For
 Next Year

SYDNEY, New South Wales Au- gust 11.-(By Associated Press.)-- Experiments in cotton raising in New South Wales have been so sue cessful as to more than double the cotton acreage in the estimate for next year. This increase in acreage is due to the discovery that cotton grows better under the conditions existing in the northern parts of the Australian continent than in other sections.
 The cotton grown eXperimentally in the north Australian districts brings about one cent pound more than that of other sections. In ad dition to producing q higher grade of cotton. the plants have been most prolific, and at Bonalbo, as many as 320 bolls have been obtained from plant.
 The estimated cotton acreage for next year in New South Wales is 35.- ready awaits this growth. for the English spinners are eager to buy cotton grown within the Empire.
 Although it will be many years be- fore the effect of Australian cotton will be felt in the worlds market, the experimental stage has been pass cd and it is expected that great strides will be made in production during the next decade.
 Another important factor, less to the liking of the great English mill owners, is the appearance of a few independent mills in Australia. at the present time insignificant, they are capable of growing with the increased domestic cotton produc- tion.
