Glory, IN the Adjdtant Gen
erals office. Ibanez seems to
call King Alfonso two-faced
young pin-head with a diadem
several sizes too large which he
wears at rakish angle in foul
weather and fair.
The Infatuated bull fighter
takes exception to Ibanez's hat
specifications and offers to slap
his face if he will be so cour-
teous as to present same at
roll call any morning in his
official barracks.
Generally it is necessary to
print a challenge in only one
language be it a dead language
-or just obsolete. But as chal-
lenges seem to roll easily off of
those slope domed grandees,
the authors thereof believe in
taking no chances of being ig-
nored.
This blighting bounder was
so sincere in his craving for
mayhem that he took every pos
sible precaution in the world ex-
'cept to hire a ventriloquist to
interpret his desires.
So far Ibanez has not ac-
cepted nor declined. He will
probably respond by writing
another book and having It
mimeographed. in all hierogly-
phics including deaf and dumb.
The idea in shooting this
New Year greeting in ali colors
of the rainbow and Sanskrit was
that perhaps some of the au-
thor's friends might see it and
tell him about it.
Maybe his office boy detected
its ugly mien while opening the
mornings mail and decided that
the boss would be. healthier if
he didn't see. it. ANYWAY.
Ibanez still believes the pen Is

The Carry Ice Cream Company,
which will meet the Hendler
Creamery bowlers of Baltimore
tonight at the Recreation in the
second three-game set of a nine
game series, is holding on to first

is trying out new system of han

handicap was based on the show.
ings of the teams in the first series,
two naples being allowed for each
place difference.
Thus, the first team allowed the
second team two pins a game, the
third team four pins, the fifth, six
pins, etc. This handicap was in.
creased to three pins in the third
series and in the fourth section
of the schedule will be boosted to
four pins.

the Carry bOwlers led in per.

That the handicap system has
been employed successfully in ever

quite a variance in the total pin

New Louisiana Univ.
To Open Next Fall

Baton Rouge. La, Jan. CA. P.)
The new Louisiana State Univer-
sity and Agricultural and Mechanical
College, designed to become ulti-
mately one of the greatest educa-
tional institutions in the south, will
be opened in the fall of 1924, ac-
cording to plans of the building
committee. The complete project
cannot be carried out at this time.
however, because of a shortage of
funds. About 100000 already has
been expended.
Ten buildings have been completed,
and under construction are two ad-
ministration buildings. the George
Peabody hall with the teachers col
lege, and four buildings for the
agricultural department.
Laying of the drainage system on
the athletic field is under way and
construction of concrete stands Will
begin February /. The initial con-
struction will provide for the accom-
mediation of 10000, and it is planned
to build temporary stands to accom-
modate an additional 5000.
The new university is two miles
south of Baton Rouge and occupies a
tract of 1000 acres on plateau about
thirty feet above the normal water
level of the Mississippi river. The
tract has an abundance of magnolia
and other semi tropical trees. All of
the principal buildings are connected
by tunnels and arcades which permit
passage between them without cx-
posture to the weather.

Farm Children of Germany
Have More Toys Than Others

Nuremberg. Dec. 19-(By MaiD
Farm children in Germany will have
more toys this year than children in
the great cities and industrial centers.
While the toy business has fallen be-
low that of last year. and far below
the pre-war average, the wholesale
toy dealers have found their business
was better in centers where the popu-
lation is agricultural and the high
prices received for farm products
have enabled peasants to make ex-
penditures for Christmas gifts.
Mechanical toys which convey the
idea of work have been more popular
this season than military toys for
boys. Tinsoldiers, tn-sabres and
cannon have been largely displaced by
sets of miniature tools. lathes. minia-
ture wireless sets. automobiles and
other tops of mechanical makeup.
Animals have held their popularity
for both small boys and girls, but the
expensive animals of previous years
have been replaced very largely by
wooden animals painted bright colors.
Dolls are shown in great abundance.
but they are smaller than of old and
less expensive.
