SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland

SideIights On Love
IN A love letter a woman al
ways says as much as she
dares-a man, as little as he
dares.
Love Is that maudlin state OF
mind which makes you fancy, for
the moment, that q new electric
refrigerator or new vacuum
cleaner is more necessary to your
happiness than new car.
In this topsy-turvy age of transi.
ton, half the women in the
world are struggling to escape the
fate of the bird in-the-gilded-ca
and the other half signing to
escape from their jobs and FIND
a gilded cage.
There is nothing static about
grand passion. When love ceases
to have growing pains, 1t Is be-
ginning to get hardening OF the
arteries.
Somehow, it fIatters q woman
to have a man go on concentrat-
ing his heart on her, even though
she may not want it; but nobody
can get on a mans nerves so
fatally as a woman who goes
right on loving him after the
bell has rung.
A quaint, oId-fashioned girl is
one who can remember when we
wore shadow-petticoats, covered
up our ears and sneaked out into
the dressing room to put on our
makeup.
Nowadays, a man seems to con-
slider it good old pre-war stuff
il 1t doesn't take the enamel of
his bridgework.
II a wife, like an umbrella.
could simply be checked now and
then and left somewhere until
called for, marriage would look a
lot more alluring to most men.
The old.fashioned girl considered
that her life work was done
when she got a husband, But it
is astonishing how few girls look
forward to marriage as q life
holiday these days.

WEAR STOCKINGS
 EDICT Of COURTS
Actioa Of Wimhsdon Officials
 Cils6 Widespread Comment

Paris, May 37 N,-Wimbledon' reported ban on stockingless tennia players is attracting more attention at Roland Garros Stadium than the French hard court championship themselves. 1t would seem.
 According to word received here, officials at Wimbledon will permit no stockingless players in the cen ter court at the British champion ships. That rule would either keep Helen Wills, American, French and English singles champion, off the center court or force her to don stockings.
 "Queen Helen" thus far refused to discuss the matter with respon- dents, but to friend she said:
 II relish playing without stock ings. It gives one more freedom of action. am not discarding stock ings for a fad but to improve my speed. However, if Wimbledon offi- cials object am sure wouldn't do anything to annoy them"
 One Wimbledon official, who was in Paris for the finals of the mems doubles yesterday, was inclined to take a good -natured view of the whole issue. He expressed the opin- ion that the Wimbledon authorities would not show intolerance if the girls could explain any improve ment in their game due to the ab- sence of stockings.
 You see," he added. five million more women are voting in England this year and they all are young ones between 20 and 30. We can't afford to antagonize them"
 With two Of the three doubles championships already decided. in- terest in Ire French championships turns to singles this year. The third title-the mixed doubles will be decided tomorrow. Miss Wills and Frank Hunter already have ad- to the final round where they will meet the winner of the match between Rene Lacoste and Mime. Helen Lafaurie and Henri Cochet and Eileen Bennett.
 Lacoste and Jean Borotra won the mems double championship yester- day, defeating Cochet and Jacques Brugnon in hard-fought five-set match.

IOWA IS EXPELLED
 FROM CONFERENCE
University k Mlrsd With
 Subidilil8 Its khlstk

Chicago, May 27.-lAeThe West ern conference. one of the oldest and most powerful of American col- legiate athletic orsanizationA today was rocked to its foundation by the stormiest upheaval in its history.
 Expulsion from its membership of the University of Iowa, on . some- what yelled charge of recruiting and subsidixing athletes precipitated the turmoil. which had grown to such tremendous proportions today that the life of the conference appeared at stake.
 This was the situation at a glance:
 The faculty committee of the con- ference, composed of representatives of each school, issued an announce ment at the annual meeting Saturday that Iowa had been expelled flor violation of the rule prohibiting re- cruiting and subsidixing of athletes" Names of the athletes 50 subsidized were not revealed.
 Paul E. Betting issued 2 statement charging he was compelled to give up his position as athletic director at Iowa because he refused to permit diversion of the schools athletic fund to aid athletes.
 One thousand Iowa students paraded the streets of Iowa City yes- tcrday in protest of the expulsion. storming the residence of President Walter Jessup for explanation of the action and later consregating in . plan to rotten egg belting.
 A declaration was issued by Pres ident Jessup that he knew nothing about the charges, the identity of the accusers. or the nature of the expul- sion order.
 Professor Lewis Pelzer, Iowa's representative. and secretary of the conference athletic committee, ad- mitted that alleged maintenance of slush fund by wealthy Iowa City residents, for the financing of ath- letics was one Of the charges on which the expulsion was based.
 Emphatic announcement was made by the Chicago Alumni asso- citation of the University of Iowa, that If Iowa goes out, the alumni will find out why some others don't get out too"
 Vigorous comment vas made by Clarence Cook Little. who recently resigned as president of the Uni versity of Michigan. He charged the committee permitted commercial
