 EXPENSE FIGURES
Many of Students Sons Of Wealthy Parents

New Haven. June (Pt-A partia report on the first. general question naire ever made out by Yale under graduates was given last night. Thr time reported spent by different stu. dents in preparing class room work ranged from two to fifty hours week, with an average of POT hours. The report gave an unexpected re suit when it disclosed that the stu dents who spent the least time on their studies attained the highest standing.
 The chart showed that freshmen spend the most time on their lesson. and that every succeeding class spends correspondingly less, with the senior studying least of all, The leverage time spent by freshmen was given as 233 hours. average scholar ship standing of 75.3 per cent; soph- omores. 20.S hours. average 76.4 per cent; juniors. 19.5 hours, 7S.% per cent; seniors, tS.S hours, So.5 per cent.
 The reports on the income of fam lilies whose sons are in Yale showed that 40 per cent lie between $10,- GOO and s50.000, [ per cent more ! than $5O,00o. S3 per cent less than s5,000 and less than 2 per cent, be- tween S5,000 and S20,000. 1 The report proves that freshmen
 spend the least and that every sue ceeding class increases its eXpendi-
 lures. The freshman average ex- penditures were given as s1,SS4, the lsophomorcs s1.656, the juniors s1,- S32 and the seniors St,91S. The to- tai of an average education at Yale,
 as disclosed by tho questionnaire is therefore s6.79o. More than L. 800 responses were made 10 the g. 500 blanks. The replies were op-
 tional.

 The conduct of members of the club is expected to be in harmony with the Ideals of good sportsman ship and gentlemanIy both in the meetings of the club and at all reg ular practices of any team and in all games or athletic events when the member represents the kensing- ton Boys club. If is understood that the use of profane or question able language is not gentlemanly, es- pecially on the part. of anyone en- gaging in an athletic contest, and that smoking by persons engaging in, or about to engage in, athletic contests of any kind does not accord with the highest ideals of sportsman ship. These are therefore to be con- sidered as out of order on the ath- latic field, and in the gymnasium, This applies to all persons who occu- .py any portion of the athletic field CT gymnasium that is for the use of those participating in contests, but does not apply 10 spectators at a game or contest who occupy the space reserved for the use of the public at such games.

Prince of Wales
Expected to Face
Difficult Season

LONDON Nov. 2.-Thc Prince of
Wales is call set" for the hunting
season and all England is worried.
1t is not too much to say that all
England will sigh with relief when
the season is ended-if the Prince
is still hale and sound.
His propensity for falling off
horses is world-famous. He has usu-
ally escaped unscathcd, but at 9th
er times he has broken his bones
and sustained slight conclusions of
the brain, all serious when they hap
pen to an heir of throne.
His intimate friends say that he
undertakes too much. His prominent
social position makes him feel that
he ought to excel at everything he
undertakes, and that he cannot hold
back when others have a go at a
fence or n hedge. He pits himself
against most expert jockeys and
steeplechase riders, men who have
concentrated ut this one sport. What
they jump, the Prince Of Wales
tries to jump, too.
Horsemen say the Prince rides
horses too big for him. 1t is well
known that he prefers large mounts.
But experts point out that the
Prince only tips the scale at a little
over 1'5 mounds and that, with his
slight weight thrown against hunt
ing snaffle bit, he cannot contorl
the powerful horse he chooses.
The question of the Princes seat
in the saddle is one of the most
hotly discussed problems now before
the public. Some say he rides by
balance more than by grip of the
knees and that his seat is precarious
over jumps, though safe enough for
| riding on the flat. Others insist that
! the trouble is that the horses fall
! down under him. That is the
| Princes own contention.
Do yo uexpect me to stay in the
| air if the horse falls DOWN. he
! asked friend who was discussing
the matter with him not long ago.
Englishmen, in whose hearts the
! Prince has won n very warm place
hho" CHaI Ioi Whatever iC%0oh, Inv
Prince keeps falling off his horses.
/ That fact interests them more than
the cause of it. They admire his
courage and high spirit but they
| wish he would be little more care
| full.
The Prince is sure to ride in many
difficult pointto-point races this
season, and the British nation is
watching anxiously, in dread OF q
! serious accident.

HIGHLY PRAISES
MEAT INSPECTION
Declares California Is
Far Ahead of Other
States.

G. II. Hecke, director OF Agricul-
ture, in discussing the results of a
survey of meat inspection which
has just been completed by Dr.
Frank p. St. Ciair, travelling iuspec-
tor Of the bureau Of animal indus
try, said today, Probably less is
rublicly known about state meat in
spection and sanitary slaughter
house control than Of any other ma
or branch of work under the con
trCl Of the California Department
of Agriculture.
Continuing, Dr. Hecke said,
State meat hygiene was institut-
ed as public health measure and
has had a very rapid growth dur
ing the last four years.
Both meat and milk hygiene
services have been instituted pri-
marily as a protection to public
health and with this important view
point in mind the state meat III.

vision of DR.. George Gordon, has

''On account of this rapid
growth and its possible future, [
recently requested Secretary of
Agriculture, William NJ Jardine, to

rcau Of animal industry to make a
survey Of our meat inspection sys-
TEN. point out whatever weaknesses
Irav exist and suggest the proper
| remedies.
Two Months Survey
" Or. st. Clair spent nearly two
months in conducting this survey
and he has just submitted duplicate
leports to Secretary, Jardine and to
me. In these he ha, pointed Out It
number nj minor weaknesses, but
was hardly prepared fol the
praise he has given to this service
and to DR.. Gordon fer the manner
in which he has conducted it.
DR.. st. Clair stated as follows
In the beginning let it be stated
that, Notwithstanding the extreme
lsrccssity for such a thing, il is
rare indeed for states TO maintain
efficient meat inspection services.
| Therefore, the undersigned WAS
greatly surprised to find that the
state Of California had succeeded
- well. You have almost a hun
drcd slaughtering places under in
spection, with about - inspectors
actually engaged. Some three hun.
dred and fifty insanitary slaughter
houses have been condemned ana
obliged to discontinue operations.
! This is very crcditablc Consider
ing the short time the service has

! tlattering. The fact that during
The calendar year of 1928 over =

parts were condemned and dcstros.
ed for food purposes illustrates
torcibly that much has been done
to protect the citizens OF the state
from the consumption of uns1und
meats; a protection which doubtless
the general public is unaware
know of no state in the Union that
has achieved as much.
