State colleges are rounding out
their base ball schedules, and, as usu
al Maryland University shows super.
iority. Hopkins has dropped the sport
ntirely, and is concentrating on Ia
crosse; st. Johns has determined not
to exchange courtesies on the diamond
with any Maryland team; indeed, she
has not confined her aloofness to ath-
letics, but has applied it to other col
lege activities-she is no longer a
member of the Intercollegiate Ora

LIKE the chap in the song, I'm sitting
ON top of the world. And it's not a
bad world when you look at it from all
sides. I've hit some rough spots, but
managed to keep my seat. I want to let
it be known that the road has been
heap smoother since discovered Prince
Albert. Here is tobacco!
My old jimmy-pipe and Prince Albert

morning to midnight. Whenever I get
to feeling low, take out my pipe, lamp

Prince Albert is friendly in spirit and
friendly in fact. 1t never bites my tongue
or parches my throat. They tell me the
Prince Albert process fixed that for me
and millions like me. I only know that
p. A. is cool and satisfying as spring
water ON hot afternoon and that it suits
1eto a 7.
You're welcome to this leaf out of my
book. If you're not smoking P. A.,
you're not getting full enjoyment out of
your pipe. Just get yourself tidy red
tin of Prince Albert. Load up your old
jimmy-pipe ard light up. Nothing COM
plicated about that, is there? Well, that's
my formula. 1t always works for me.

Healthy Growth

MENTO, Calf, April l.
Growth of the junior college move
ment in California is shown by en-
rollment figures made public by
Will G. Wood, state superintendent
of public instruction.
There were 527l students in the
various junior colleges last year.
Enrolment in separate colleges com
prised 1927 Of this total, while 1914
were enrolled in junior college de
partments of high schools.
Included in the enrolment total
were 1880 special students doing
part time work in the JUNIOR col
leges. Most of these were adults
attending extension classes.
If all the students in junior col
lcges of the state were gathered i'll

Is still deadly weapon us far as

This was the view of the third
district appellate court here when

Closkey, who was found guilty in

on a charge of carrying Il concealed
weapon.
McCloskey contended that the
weapon found in his possession, Il
revolver, was antiquated and harm
less, but the appellate court held
that regardless of age or condition

the law ''if it still retains its eff
cheney to any extent that it may
in some manner, be used as origin
ally intcnded.' The ruling was up
hcid by the state supreme court.
