These Two Chips Off
Old Block Unique
At Princeton

Chips off the old block is the
only way to describe two Prince
ton gladiators. Frank Lea, the
Tigers first string end, is the
son of Langdon Lea, who was a
wignman on the 1896 team.
Jeff Rosengarten, like his
father, is tackle and good
one. His father was a lineman
on the 1897 team. This is said
to be the first case in Princeton
history of two athletes playing
on the same team in the same
positions that their fathers
played before them.

Jimmy Connolly, ex-Georgetown

Paavo Nurmi a desperate, skillful

Soldiers Field. at Harvard in
Nurmi's last mile race here.

PROBABLY NO PARTRIDGE
SHOOTING THIS FALL.

From Fins, Feathers and Fur.
official publication of the State Fish
and Game Commission, we take the
following relating to partridge
shooting. The order of Governor
Christensen has previously been
published:
happens, there will be no ruffed
grouse shooting in Minnesota next
fall, Governor Theodore Christian
SON having issued an executive or
der affording that species protection
regardless of the open season pro-
vided by law.
''For the most part, the sports
men of Minnesota are wholly in
sympathy with the Governors ac-
ton, the commissioners recon-
mendation for closed season hav
ing carried the support of many or
ganizationso and individuals.
Following the great dimunition of
cartridges in the summer of 1924,
and the curtailment of partridge
shooting the ensuing fall, it was
established to such an extent that
partridge hunting might be resumed
in 1926, but conditions do not war
rant it. The birds have come back
very slowly, and are virtually ex-
tinct in many localities where they
were so abundant a few years ago.
eff the situation appears more
favorable next fall, the Governor
may modify or revoke his order but
that possibility is remote"

FOREST TAX PROBLEM
WILL BE STUDIED.

University Farm, st. Paul, will
likely be the headquarters from
June until October of distinguish
ed party of foresters and economists
who have been appointed under a
recent congressional act to make an
intensive study of the problem of
forest taxation in the United States
The work will be conducted by the
u. S. Forest Service under the per-
sonal direction of Fred R. Fairchild
of Yale University, a noted forest
taxation economist. Professor Fair
child plans to carry ON investiga-
tional work in the principal forest
regions of the country and is con-
sidering Minnesota for the first
field of study. A representative Of
Professor Fairchild has been in con-
sultation with the university author
tiles and state officials to determine
just what cooperation can be count
ed upon.

More than 10000, 900 motor veh-
lies were in use on the highways of
the United States in 1925, accord
ing to the Bureau of Public Roads
of the Department of Agriculture.
The total registration reported was
1884, BAT, but there were in addi-
ton 96,929 state and federal gov
ernment-owned vehicles not included
in this figure. There is now one
vehicle for each ,5.8 persons in the
United States. The Minnesota reg
istration was 569,694, or one for
As persons. The increase over
1924 was 1874 per cent for the
United States and 1871 per cent for
Minnesota. Total receipts frora
registration fees were $26O,619,621
the Minnesota total being $9,744.-
834. The average per vehicle was
$13.O6 for the United States and
$17.10 for Minnesota. In Mime
sota,- however, this was in lieu of
all other taxes, but in a majority of
the other states the automobiles are
subject to personal property tax.
While this varies in every locality.
it is safe to say that the total of
the license and personal property
tax makes the average for the
Bnited States several dollars high
er than the average license fee in
Minnesota.

Tribune appeared the picture of
John Baker, well known and popu-

frequent visitor to the range towns
in company with that prince of
statesmen John Mullen. Mr.. Baker
is now prominent dry goods mer-
chant of West Duluth and his pic
ture was presented as the president
of the Vermilion Club, an organiza-
ton of travelling men who have
yearly spent week on Gold Island
in Lake Vermilion. Since the auto.
mobile has taken the place of the
trains for the travelling men the
Gold Island bunch has been some
what depleted. However, a few
old stand-bys like John Baker,
Frank Tate, "Stub" Schubmehl,
John Mullen and few more, yearly
keep up the old traditions of the
club and spend week at the camp
ing place. The club makes amusa-
ment their goal and are not associat-

gold was the predominant factor.

PIP, to Yeas, 1877. Party and
group alignments were badly shat
tered on the final vote. As the
Tincher and Aswell bills were with
drawn before the vote on the Hau-
gen Bill was taken there is now no
farm relief legislation before the
House. What the Senate may do
for agriculture is extremely prob
lematical. The consensus of opin-
ion, however, is that no farm relief
legislation will be passed at this SEES
sion of Congress.

1t now goes to the President for
approval.
The President has signed the air

Commercial and civil aviation under

Assistant Secretary to take charge

of Commerce has power to regulate
interstate and foreign aerial traffic.
Plans will be made at once for the
administration of the new law.
| This law will create a new stand
ard for civilian aviation and allow
American Flying to develop with
out regard to army or navy restric-
tons.
If those responsible a. correct.
the provisions of this law will bring
navigation of the air to point
where it will rival transportation on
the ground. 1t will also create a
