HOPES FADE FOR
NAMING COLORADO
SCHOOL DEMPSEY
ny United Press Leased Wire

MANASSA, Colo, Nov. 4-Hopes
of naming 4 new school here after
a famous son, Jack Dempsey, were
fast fading today.
Protests of the American Legion
of Colorado have apparently dis
couraged the sponsors of the idea
from carving the name of the prize
fighter on the school.
Mrs. Stella Sowards, school sup
erintendent, said the matter had
never come before the board. 1t is
said, however, that Dempsey had
been written, but so far as was
known had not answered.
The Modesto, Stanislaus county,
school board purchased a 3S-acre
high school site for 500, 800.

THE LEAGUES CLUB

It seemed intolerable that war should break out
in the Balkans again right the heels of the Locano
peace.
Having an instrument at hand through which to
act, the powers proceeded to it with surprising
celebrity and force
The League of Nations Council had authority
from the Covenant to declare that the belligerents in
making unlawful way on each other, were in effect
making war upon the other League members, and to
order hostllltles stopped penalty of trade and fl
nancia boycotts and possible military action if they
refused to obey.
1t hardly expected that the League would
dare resort to the of its full powers Heretofore
it has usually been mid about spanking the bad boys
of the family Of nations. But this time the provoca-
ton greater than usual, and the League, inspired
by Locarno, was more conscious Of its power. SO
bold utimatum went to Greece and Bulgaria. And
immediately to the surprise of a large part of the
world both obeyed. Bulgaria had been willing TO ar
bitrate 1t victory Greek militarisn partic-
uary.
Would the League really have punished them, even
to the extent Of military operations if they had dis
regarded its orders 1t is WE'LL everything considered
that the test not made.
Europe is to be congratulated on the apparent
success of this move and the precedent it has estab-
lished And the world should be grateful. For the
present success of the League is good example not
of the triumph of force but of the triumph Of world
opinon-which the League officials representative
make nations keep the peace when they are alrady at
make the nations keep the peace when they are already
at each others throats.
When the League swings big stick in so good
cause, it deserves the backing of world opinion and
with such backing, the League becomes more effective
for good than outside observers have dared hope.

CANAL PROJECT

Review of Small Carriers Favor
 This Plan

Washington, Aug. 25 P'-Al- though conceding that the great ocean liners, such as the Leviathan and the Majestic, have their places in the shipping world, credit for carrying the bulk of the worlds ocean commerce is given to the car- go liners and tramps in a review made public by the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater association.
 The association made its statement as a defense of the proposed St. Lawrence ship channel project, de- claring 1t was idle to suppose the Le- viathan and Majestic type ~ ships would steam directly into the ports of Duluth and Chicago.
 Cargo vessels devoted 10 freight service are rarely large, a majority drawing less than o5 feet of water, the statement said. adding that they must be small enough to enter seN- eral ports at both ends of their tourney to obtain full cargo. Count ing the numerous trips of express liners to New York, the statement said, the record of vessels engaged in foreign trade for 1922 shows that out of S.562 inward and outward trips TOT per cent were in vessels of less than 25 foot draft and 9S.S per cent with drafts under 30 feet,
 "The large export vessels plying in and out of New York and calling at Boston are not necessary 10 the suc- cess of the st. Lawrence ship chan nel." the association continued. New Orleans and Galveston have reached great commercial imror~ tance though they can accommo- date only light draft vessels. It Is an error to assume that 30-foot channel can be navigated only by vessels drawing less than 25 feet. Such conditions are applicable only at entrance channels Of exposed

Y HITS MADE IN
 344 TRIAL SHOTS
Fort Tilden ManeuVerS Continue
 -.One Man Almost Killed

New York, Aug, 25 R'-Mimic anti-aircraft warfare in which sev. enteen hits were registered on flying targets out of Si4 shots, nearly cost the life of an artillery observation officer at Fort Tilden before the tests reached what army officers describ- cd as a successful conclusion.
 The accidental opening of his parachute while shells were burst ing on all sldes nearly dragged Lieu tenant r. H. Morrow from a Martin bomber towing a target over the fort last night.
 Lieutenant Percy Warner radio operator on the plane. grabbed the shroud line of the parachute as it flew past him and held on until Lieutenant Morrow, who was lying on the fuselage, realized the danger. Morrow rolled himself mp in the trappings and succeeded IT, disen- tangling himself
 The plane. piloted by Lieutenant A. '. Smith, was 5000 feet over the sea at the time. Officers said that had the parachute carried Leuten- ant Morrow away he would have been shot to death.
 Though the mishap interferred with observations, the target lowed by the plane showed four shrapnel holes. The three-inch land batter ies had fired 92 rounds.
 During the day tests nine hits were scored on another target be- fore a tenth clipped the plano wire that held the target and set it flut- tering to the ground. Anti-air- craft guns fired 252 rounds at this target 5000 feet in the air. Constant two-way wireless com lmunication was maintained between the fort and the planes. Major Gen eral Johnson Hagood said the tests showed that 200 anti-aircraft guns wero needed to protect New York properly. There are only eight at the fort now.
 General Charles P. Summeral said the tests were not competition between the anti-aircraft artillery and the air service. The shooting is designed to develop new weapons he declared.

Thinks There Is Too Much Out.
 side activity at University

New Haven. Aug. 25-A way must be found to limit the time devoted | by students to eXtra-CurriCulum ac- tivities, President James Rowland Angel, of Yale University, says in his report, copies of which are now being received by Yale alumni.
 Easy to Simplify
 pr. Angcll says it should be easy to simplify the present system. This applies to the needless re- quirements of the competition he says, to the amazing system of rushing for fraternitics, to the elaborate and costly social enter tainments and to the schedules of intercollegiate contests of various kinds"
 Dr. Angel reveals for tho first time that this problem is now being given attention by the faculty when he says "a special committee is studying the problem with view to presenting specific suggestions that will relieve the situation"
 Too Much Comment.
 Generally speaking. he says ath- lcticS occasion too much comment, favorable and unfavorabo for their best service to the student body 'In the eyes of the public and alumni" he says. intercollegiate contests assumes an importance dis proportionatcly great. The req place of athletic sports in aifordinG wholesome recreation in providing physical training and in developing | qualities of sclf-reliance, self-con. trol and fine sportsmanship among large proportion of the student body is often overlooked.
 Teach Students.
 "Whatovcr may havo been th' origin of the system, the present purpose of employing coaches < not merely 10 win intercollegiate contests as is often believed ir outside circles. It IS quite as truly 10 teach students and as many a' possible how 10 play the various games, just as coaches are necos sary to aid students Tn dranatics in debating, in musical activities"
 The problem of limiting the stu dent body in Yale law school, re forrnd to at the alumni dinner il Jmo also is discussed.
 The president says there is no in tcntion of allowing the school to in crease in numbers indefinitely. The faculty is studying problems whicl a limitation of the student bod! creates, There are the questions O determining what Is intrinsicall, most desirable, and of wise selection of candidates for admission.
 If the school is too larg"," say President Angolh there is los something of that intimacy of con fact between student and teache which has been ono of it's assets Mere multiplication Of instructors f not d wholly satisfactory solution O the difficulty and where there is ap prociabIc disparity in standing or il teaching ability students, espociall professional ones. resent being as signed to sections presided over b loss stimulating instructors"
