BUHL TEAM PROVES TARTAR

Inability of the Ely players to
pierce the Bull defense regularly
for close-in shots caused the varsity's
defeat. A low ceiling prevented
Ely from scoring via the long-shot
methods.
For three quarters Ely and Bull
battled, with neither team having
any decided advantage. Bull led at
half time by 5 to 3 score, while at
the beginning of the last quarter
the score was tied at seven all. Bull
wisely changed its style of play dur
ing the fourth period. The change
was for the letter for they imme-
diately began dropping the ball in
the basket and the Bull score mount
ed to 18 before the end of the game.
Grahek again led Ely's offensive at
tack with total of four of Ely's
seven points.
The second team lost to Bull in
the preliminary game by a 10 to z
score. The locals were greatly out
weighed by their opponents and ere
unable to stop the tall, lanky Bull
players from scoring.

Commissioner-Elect Jacob L. Pete

Commissioner-Elect Jacob u. Pete
wishes to deny that "gentleman's
agreement" existed between him and
Commissioner Fay regarding the pur-
chase of tractors, snow-plows, etcv
as stated in the Duluth paper week
ago. Mr.. Pete states that the district
is not in financial condition to make
these purchases and claims that
already part of next years appro-
priations has been spent. Besides,
there are a large number of out
standing accounts unsettled in the
district according to Mr.. Pete.
When Thomas A. Edison demon
strated AZ years ago that loop OF
carbonized sewing thread, sealed up
in a bulb from which the air had
been pumped and Connected with an
electric current, would glow with a
steady light, no one dreamed OF the
universal use to which the invention
would be put, says the Seattle Times.
In less than half a century there has
developed one of the worlds greatest
industries. 1t would be hard to over
estimate the effect of the invention
of the incandescent lamp on science
and industry. That device has open
ed the way to almost innumerable
uses. In commenting upon the first
lamp, Mr.. Edision said that if ne
could begin his career over again he
would devote all his attention to
electric light, heat and chemical re-
actions. We are merely beginning to
understand the mysterious form OF
energy which manifests itself as
light. There is a deep-seatea belief
that man is on the verge of great
discovery which will reveal the fun
danental relationship of the natural
forces which are observed but not
clearly understood.

RUSSIAN WOMEN
BLOCK PASSAGE
OF WEDDING LAW

RIGA, Feb. 6-The expected pass
age of the revised code of Soviet
marriage laws which was to place
all forms of cohabitativn on an equal
basis whether registered or unregls-
tered, has received setback at the
hands of Russian women.
The law had already passed the
central committee of the Soviet
party, and several other government
departments and when introduced
before the central executive com
mittee of "Red parliament as it
is sometimes called, it was preSup-
posed that its passage would be
but a matter of ordinary routine.
But the reading of the revised
code was greeted with cries of pro-
test on the part of many women
present. They pointed out that the
revised code permitted even looser
relations than now existed in the
family ties, and that present condi-
tions We're bad enough.
Loose marriage regulations to-
gether with the facilities and in
ducements for divorce, they argu-
ed, had filled the country with
vagrant, outcasf children and pro-
duced a multitude of deserted and
divorced wives. Although under
the present code some men had
married and divorced as many rs
ten women in one year, all legally,
they felt, they said, that the present
law afforded the women more pro-
lection than that provided under
the new law.
In the face of this unexpected
storm of protest the executive com
mittee found itself unable to muster
enough votes to pass the revised
code. President kalinin then an
nounced that the measure would
for the time being be withdrawn
and not remtroduced until it has
been thoroughly discussed in the
lower village Soviets, districts So
viets, women s departments and in
the press.
