This question of a ruling brings up
the question of methods of getting to
spectators information as to just what
penalties are inflicted for. Many times
coaches on the bench in close touch
with every phase of play do not know
why penalties arer being given, and II
that is the case it is not likely the
average spectators is going to be GER
tain Of more than half of them.
It would seem to be good business
for the colleges to devise ways OH
their ~Scoreboards Of announcing the
reason for penalties. This could easily
be taken care of by inserting in pro-
grams a list Of penalties and what they
are for, numbering each separate PEN
atty, and then hanging on the score
board the number which corresponds
10 the number of the penalty inflicted.

PROSPECTS DINNER
 FOR CLAIMS COURT
Lack Of Quarters Forces Post
 ponement Of Its Opening

That there is little likelihood of the establishment of a small claims court in this city soon was indicated today by Judge Stanley J. Traceski who said lie would not favor it's in- auguration until the city court has adequate quarters.
 Two places for a new city court room are favored by the legal fra ternity. The first is the old Masonic quarters Or the top floor of city hall and the second is the common coun- cil chamber. The city hall con- mission is studying the feasibility of rcconstructing the Masonic quarters.
 One temporary plan is to use the home service bureau office as head quarters for the small claims court clerk and have the cases heard in the court room. This will not remedy the present situation which involves large cases where q jury sits or where several witn9 sses arc pres ent, Judge Traceski said today.
 Judge Trac2ski and Judge Morris D. Sake will decide upon the new small claims court clerk. Although neither judge indicated who his choice may be, a rumor is current that it will be Miss Ruth Smons, who is assistant to City Court Clerk Emil J. Danberg. Miss Smons has considerable legal experience both as secretary to attorneys and as clerk in the city court office. She has been in the last named position for nearly two years.
 Judge Traccski indicated today hat the small claims clerk will be I ,.Oman

New York, Dec. 27. P1The men who weigh, count and pack gold in kegs and small boxes for shipment abroad face a winter of activity.
 Declining interest rates in tho United States have swung the tide Of gold back toward Europe for the first time in year and a half.
 More than s65,0OO,O0O in gold has been shipped from New York, chiefly to London anI Paris, in the last two months.
 The total amount of gold held in the central banks of the world IS usually estimated at present aroun1 S10,000, 100000. The amount of gold used for ornamental purposes is estimated about the same figure,
 Fundamentally; of course, the or namental gold Confers on monetary gold whatever value it has. Gold is valuable because it glitters and is scarce.
 Most of the s1O,O0o,OOO,OOO Of ornamental gold is "out of circua- tion." The $10, 0,o0o.O00,000 of monc- tary gold constitutes the worlds Floating supply" It shifts from country to country seeking it's own level.
 It migrates in general to locali- ties where it can earn most and. ether things being equal, tends to level off interest rates throughout the world.
 Gold has almost vanished from circulation in domestic trade. Bus ness between nations, however, still involves lugging the metal out Of the federal reserve banks. assay offices and other Repositories, con- vcying it to a pier and loading it on a ship.
