WOMEN AS STU DENTS

Fair fcmininlty again has abund- ant cause to be greateful over finding showing that the sex is ca pablc Of holding it's own in the field Of learning. The latest statistical confirmation comes from the Uni ycrsty of Chicago, where careful tab was kept upon the relative Studiousncss of thc fair co-cds and the unfair fellow students, and Of course, the co-eds easily got the best of the tug of war. In short. it was found that 16.33 per cent of the men failed as students during the year, while only 915 per cent of the women ilunked.
 f this were the first time such records had been made public lt would be regarded as an isolated in- stance and lacking significance; but similar results have been repeatedly announced. II must be concluded, therefore, that women at this time are in general the most diligent stu dents wherever they are placed upon a parity with men in an educational institution.
 This will not alarm the men, how ever Women possess an intuitive re- gard for details which men as a rule lack, and their interests usually are less diversified so that a better con- centraton of mind is possible. Half of our youngsters at school nowa- days seem to be turning into athletic bugs; one sometimes is justified in wondering how they can study at all under the circumstances.
 Then there Is the fact that many Of our greatest men, past and pres cnt, were not good students when young. And this holds good in the case of great women, too. The fact that young men or women do not average 90 in all the multifari- ous studies which nowadays confront them is no sign they will not score loo later in some particular calling toward which they possess a special aptitude. If this were not true then it would be easy to determine in ad- vance who the outstanding men or women of the future would be-one in that case would only need to note ] those who stood at the head of their classes.
 But such a scheme would never work The fellow who often stands near the foot of the percentage list because he possesses a poor intellect in relation 10 several studies may take the world by storm merely be- cause he is a top-notcher at some thing not even taught where he got , his marks.
 All of which is another way Of saying you never can tell"

NUSSOLINFS BATTLE WITH ECONOMIC LAW

All news coming out of Italy IS not of the fantastically optimistic order. A battle is being fought, with economic law on the one side and the Duce on the other. The true optimist is one who thinks the Ducc will win.
 Mussolini has been trying 10 resu- late retail prices, rent, wages and the cost of living. The battle so far has resulted in not much change ex- cept that some time ago wages were reduced, weakening the hold of the Fascist regime upon the working classes. Now certain manufacturers claim wages will have 10 go lower, but Mussolini fears to permit a re- currence of the former experience and withholds his consent. AS a re- suit, instead of the many workmcn receiving money for their toll, they are getting notes on the property of the factories-I. o. Us which can be discounted at a stipulated rate at the banks. These assignatS naturally are not very popular.
 Meanwhile the cost of living re- fuses to budge. The economic crisis in Italy is the most severe blow the Fascist regime has had to face. II has developed gradually. and has been due to the inability of Italian manufacturers to produce at price low enough to meet foreign con- petition in foreign marts. Italian eX- port trade therefore has taken a serious slump. Without a big export trade balance Italy is certain to be hardpressed financially, which IS proven by the fact that it's metal lurgical manufacturers have told Mussollni that they simply lacked the money with which to pay wages due.
 News from Italy no longer comes from there direct due to the cen sorship. l. has been q most Inolfect- i've censor rship, however, as long as the mails reach Nice. From there the world is pretty thoroughly in formed ot conditions as they de velop. Unfortunately 1t is the Italian people themselves who suffer most by the vigorous censorship of public information. The newspapers in II d ly have become mere mirrors of official hokum, denied the right 10 deal in facts or mako constructive eugges- tions. An uncensored press under such conditions would be an aid rather than a hindranCc.

Woman is Survivor
of Bear Paw Fight
With Chief Joseph

Mrs. James Stuart Of KoOskia, Ida,
delegate to the recent Indian. confer
ence held at Wolf Point, and wife Of
nephew of the late Granville Stuart
of Montana, was member Of Chief
JOseph's band of NeZ Perces when they
made their last stand in the Bear
Paw mountains near Chinook in 1877,
and the 5Oth anniversary of which bat
tie has Just been cOmmemOrated by
the people of Chinook and northern
Montana by a movement to erect
memorial to Chief Joseph.
AIthouh Mrs Stuart was only eight
years old at the time, she has a distinct
recollection of the battle and of trenches
and holes in which the Indian women
and children hid to escape the bullets
Of the soldiers rifles. She revisited the
scene OF the battle on her way home from
the Wolf Point meeting but was unable
to attend the anniversary celebration.
Another Of the delegates, whose early
history is closely associated with the
dians, is Dick Kipp Of the Blackfeet res
ervation He was a small child in the
camp OF Heavy Runner in 1869, when
soldiers under Colonel Baker attacked
the encampment on the banks Of the
Marias river, killing sick men, women
and children unfortunately.
Colonel Baker had been sent TO pun
ish Black Weazel's band for the murder
OF Ba1co1m Clarke He mistook the band
Of the friendly Heavy Runner for that
Of Black Weazel, and, despite protests
OF Joe Kipp, scout, destroyed the
camp. There were only few survivors,
