1.-THE question Of women in
the cheering section (if we arc
to continue to have ouch q thingl
Is distinctly an undergraduates
one. The question Of women rep
resentatives on the Honor Com
mittee, on publications, involve
the university, to some extent.
They, the women, are, to be sure,
q substantial part of the student
body, and should be considered
so until adequate facilities per-
NIT their segregation, But they
can at least remain in the back
ground when the students make
IN attempt to improve cheering.
Our cheering has been deplorable,
and those in charge should be
congratulated on their endeavor
to build up Q definite body Of
so-called rooters. If we are
finally to boast Of our cheering
prowess, women must be pro-
hibited from participation. I'm
dergraduates should weep that,
like the modern smoking car,
there is evidently to be no odor
Of masculine aloofness about the
cheering section"
And that bird up in Boston is
said to have valued q college
education worth $4,000!
Wrestling Is Improving.
N ONT laugh any more when
told that professional wrest-
ling is wholly on the up
and.up, They are staging q big
mat tournament in Philadelphia
and in no less a place than the
Metropolitan Opera House, which
leads Jimmy Isaminger to write
In the North American.
Nineteen nnuscled giants with
shining torsos marched around
the stage when Master Of Cere-
monies Jack Curleg introduced
each contestant and declared the
tournament open.
AN orchestra played the ma
tional anthem and other music
during the night.
Wrestling ct q temple devoted
usually to music was something
new, but the promoter, AureIio
Fabiano, whose hobby is the mat,
is a musician Of renown and
wanted the tournament held under
dignified and proper auspices.
MANY women and men in even-
ing dress retained the grand
opera tone. The crowd below
was not large, but the upper tiers
We're packed"
So now, what do you think Of
that!

 Other thrills were provided not mentioned on the program. In the last affair, which brought together Kid Fitzyoung and Georgie Wright, a ire broke out and for few minutes it looked like the latest edition of the Burning of Rome" But cool, calm and collected Teddy Bochinskey, in Fitz's corner, saved the club by re- cruiting a pail of water and dashing it on the flames. The general rush that ensued provided bit of comedy also, for many of the fans went out the windows as the fire came in.
 Besides the fire enough action re- suited to keep the fans warm. John- ny Dawson, who lost 10 Lester Gade in Meriden at the West End 4. C. amateur show, turner the tables by beating his opponent.

ness a billion dollars annually under
a new fiscal program. With interest
payments, this program would wipe
out the debt in approximately thirty
years.
The plan proposed follows the
same theory practiced since Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon took
office. Under his administration,
the debt has been reduced $2,T26,-
600 900 in the last thirty months by
the application of a sinking fund
and use of Treasury, surpluses, de-
rived from government economies
effected by the budget law.
The retirement program, while de-
pendent upon st :ct economy in
government expenditures, would be
defeated if. the United States en-
tered a new war within the next
thirty years. Its success also will
depend on the willingness of Con-
gress to permit the use Of govern.
ment SURPRISES in slashing the debt.
The program it was stated, does
not involve any payments from
either France or Italy. If both
nations should enter refunding
agreements, the program would be
that much further advanced.

automobile road from northern to
southern California, known as the
ridge route"
The flames spread in this direc.
ton after they had apparently been
checked by the hundreds of men
fighting the blaze in the vicinity OF
Fish canyon.
In northern California, although
several fires were burning with
two beyond control. the situation
generally was considered more
favorable. In Shasta national for
est a small resort known as "Ney
Springs was destroyed and two
ranch homes burned. In the Tahoe
district the Forest Hill fire con-
tinued it's grim advance on a ten
mile front, despite all efforts of fire
fighters. Only a favorable wind is
expected to bring this blaze under
control.
In the Sequia national forest 400
men continued to hold their own
against the great fire that has been
burning in the Bull Run district
The situation there is such that
only by constant watchfulness are
the flames kept from spreading.
