SO. CONFERENCE
TITLE MAY BE
DECIDED FRIDAY
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10.--Armis-
tice Day tomorrow will see two
Southern California conference foot
ball games-a fray between Pomona
and Redlands on the latter's grid
iron and the Occidental Tiger 8
visit to the home field Of the Whit
tier Poets.
When the Sagehen crew takes the
field against Redlands it is hard to
think of anything but a omona vic.
tory in sight Coach Eugene Nix
on s. eleven demonstrated punch and
power when it tied 7 to 7 with the
U. G. l.. A. Bruins last Saturday in
dispute which failed to settle the
double grip maintained by the two
teams on the top rung of the cham
pionship ladder
Nixon should be able to dispose of
Redlands without endangering the
injured Lee Williams, fullback, and
Poke Hartman and Merritt, his two
star halfbacks. Linesmen, who out
rushed the Bruins, also should be
able to turn their burdens over to
substitutes early in the game thus
saving their strength for Occident-
al the following Saturday.
With Captain coax PendIeton
of the Poets returned to his quarter
back post after an absence with in
juries, Whittier is considered
threat to the Tigers. Entering the
San Diego game last Saturday with
his team behind the strong teachers,
Pendleton organized an ovtrwhelm-
ing win from almost certain defeat.
Coach Albert Exendine's Oxy
squad will be in good shape for the
battle.
Saturday U. G. l.. A. takes on the
tough Cal Tech aggregation in Rose
Bowl, while San Diego plays non
conference tilt with Santa Barbara
there.

RIGHT OF WAY
EXPLAINED BY
POLICE CHIEF

Rules governing the right of way
at intersections and at points on
boulevard highways were the biect
OF discussion between Chief of Po-
lice Oswalt and G.. G.. Tucker of the
Automobile Club of Southern Calf
fornia yesterday. The discussion
was prompted by the recent drive
opened by numerous clubs through
out the state to enforce the right of
way rulings.
Tucker declared that there are
numerous phases of these rules
which are not well known and point
cd to the rules at intersections and
at boulevard stop points as exam
PIES, In reply the chief had the
following to say:
The law gives the right of way
to the driver on the right whenever
vehicles approach an intersection at
about the same time. Now it does
not make any difference whether
Yam driving on a so-called boule-
ward Or not. When / am on bou-
lcvard, and you are on my right, |
must yi'lu 10 you, provided you
have made the boulevard stop, if
one is required. OF course, you
shouldn't jump out at me in second
gear and insist on collision; but,
on the other hand, the fact that
am on a boulevard doesn't give me
any right to overlook the right Of
way rule.
Another thing, if I am driving
On a private road and come to
public highway | must yield the
right of way to vehicles ON that
public highway regardless of the
direction of their approach. A
careful observance of the right of
way rule will appreciably lessen

and kept his eye on the possible

The Brawley team average out
weighed the locals by about 10
pounds, but the speed and team
work of the Wilson squad made up
for this lack of beef. Coach Davies

Belgian Princess
Christened Today
by United Press Leased Wire

BRUSSELS, Nov. 10. - Baby
Princess Josephine was christened
1T the royal palace today-the first
anniversary of the marriage of her
parents, Crown Prince Leopold and
Princess Astrid.
Cardinal Roey performed the cere-
mony. King Albert and Queen Eliz-
ateth. were present, with visiting
regal personages, members of the
court and prominent citizens.
The Earl of Flanders was god
father. to the baby princess.
The grand duchess of Luxemburg
was godmother.
More than any of the numerous
tokens of affection which they re-
ceivcd today, the young royal couple
appreciated the presence of their
baby
Said to be the handsomest royal
couple in the world, Astrid and Leo
pold brought joy to both Sweden
and Belgium when they married one
year ago today in Stockholm. The
princess is niece of King Gustav
of Sweden, the prince the Oldest
son of King Albert of Belgium.
A feature of their marriage was
the fact that, besides being an af-
fair of state which delighted the
diplomats Of two European coun-
tries, it was a love-match. Thus
all the world was interested, some
for the political consequences of
the event, some for the royal glamor
which was attached to the wedding
ceremony.

FARTHEST NORTH COLLEGE The following article was taken from an outside paper.
 A college where 'h" havS shoot their own meat and the 70 -edS wear moose hide moccas'ps' That is the l'arthest North (" ege. about three miles from Fairbanks Alaska.
 The cornerstone of the first cam pus building laid in 1915. 1T was not until 1922, after further appropriations had been made by the Territorial Legislature, that the College opened it's doors to students. There were t64 stud ents registered during the past year and the faculty numbers fourteen.
 The plentiful gam" supply has been boon to stnd'.nt> seek ing to reduce the cost of living. Sometimes moose. caribou md bear stalk on the campus. while the nearby vallny and mountains hold their own in the little matter of steaks or t.i,opS.

Report Fascist Split;
Mussolini Robbed Own
Sheet, States Tribune

Fascism in Italy is threatened
not only by the discomfort of
under-paid workers and the half
starved peasantry but by wide
split in the ranks of the fascist
themselves. Despite the iron-clad
censorship which Mussolini exer-
cises, news of violent disputes with
in the fascist ranks is gradually
seeping out.
Yesterday the New York Herald
Tribune carried a first page article,
Struggled mysteriously past the
fascist censor, describing the fas-
cist split. The fact that the Her
ald-Tribune has consistently and
fsrvently been a booster of the
fascist dictatorship lends added in
terest to the article.
A startling disclosure made in
the story is that Mussolini, as edi-
tor of "Il Popolo dTtalia," which
was raising funds for the jingoist
march on Fiume, appropriated
100000 lire from the fund for per-
sonal use.

U. S. Ruling Class
Had Prosperity In
1925, Report Says
(By Federated Press.)

WASHINGTON, (FP), July g.
Americas owning class basked in
the golden sun beams Of 1925's pros
perity as in no other year in history,
income tax returns for 1925, released
today by the Bureau of Internal Re-
venue indicate.
The number of owners acknowledge
ing taxable annual incomes of 81, O0O,-
900 and over tripled to 20T over the
1924 figure of rs. These figures ex-
coed even the wild war baby profit
GERS days of 1916 Corporations also
experienced their greatest year since
the Ell Dorado of 1916. They reported
profits of $4,000, 100000, d clean two
billion jump over 1924.
Although manufacturers and public
utility stockholders reported softest
velvet in their cushions Of prosper
ity. the financial interests rang the
bell for the greatest absolute gains.
Banking, insurance and related bust
ness reported profits of $1,500,00n-
900, a so per cent increase over the
preceding year.
Wealth Concentration.
Two tendencies, toward the con-
centration of wealth and also it's
wider distribution among the middle
classes, are shown in the tax reports.
One per cent of those taxed paid TO
per cent of the total. But more than
100000 persons reported net incomes
between $4,000 and $4,000, sub
stantial increase over any previous
year and in striking contrast to the
total of but 100000 in 1914.
The invaluable services rendered to
the owning classes by Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, kingpin of the
republican regime, is nowhere better
attested than in the rates of taxa
ton on the wealthy class reporting
incomes of more than 100000 a
year. Mellon is a member of this
class. In 1925 they were taxed only
Is per cent of their reported income,
against 80 per cent in 1924, IS per
cent in 1922 and SO per cent in 1921,
the year Mellon went into office.
Their rate of taxation is now near
the 1916 pre-war level.

Protest Meetings in Europe.
In Europe the campaign has re-

many, Italy, Soviet Russia, and Eng

Prisoners Aid (the British counter
part of the I. L. d., did some re-
markable work in agitating for Sacco
and Vanzetti, and literally hundreds
of local labor organizations through
out England were listed by the 1. C.
w. P A. as having adopted protest
resolutions.
In Italy, despite the bloody reign
of the fascist, meetings have been
held wherever possible to protest
against the conviction of the two radi-
Gals. Demonstrations were also held
in front of the American embassies
at Paris, Sofia, Lisbon, Buenos Aires,
Berlin, Montevideo, and Mexico.
In the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics, literally millions of work
ers and peasants have recorded their
protest against the verdict.

What VIII Be the Answer?

In one day 10 workers were ar
rested and sentenced to jail for terms
ranging from Is days to s months,
for pieketing. This arbitrary action
on the part Of the Courts shows
clearly the true character of CAPT.
talist justice. In the face of the de-
cision by the Supreme Court made
several weeks ago, legalizing picket
ing, they take this action relying upon
IT to break the strike after which the
Supreme Court will again give a de-
cision. The pickets are being jailed
simply because they are faithful to
the working class movement. The
Joint Defense Committee is compelled
to raise ever larger sums of money
with which to defend the arrested
workers and to free those who were
brutally sentenced to six and eight
months Imprisonment for picketing
The working class movement mnst
rally more than ever around the De
Tense Committee. Everything must
be done to stop the shameful attacks
on the furTier pickets. Has every
worker bought at least $40 Bond
for the Furriers Strike Fund? Send
your money Immediately to the Fur
riers Relief Committee, Al Union
Square, Room TIA. New York City.
