the physical training class. The
Seniors played very ragged game
during the greater part of the game.
At the half the Seniors were trail
ing three points. In the beginning
of the second half the Seniors
speeded up but the Cali Nations"
defense frightened. The third quar-
ter rolled around with the Seniors
still trailing three points. It look
ed as though they would be in an
embarrassing position, but they tied
the score where it remained until
the last minute of play. The Seniors
then showed their mettle scoring
eight points in the last 80 seconds
of play. The final score was 27-18
in favor of the Seniors.

demonstration OF my theory.
There is really nothing mysteri-

birds. I have always contended
that once we understood the UNDER

simple. I hope to soon be able 70
prove this statement correct. Real

it is that someone has not discover

MANUFACTURE
CENSUS LOOMS
Survey Begins Feb. l In
Section to Determine

An important order has been IS
sued by the bureau Of the census
for the beginning, Feb. !, Of the
census Of distribution OF manufac-
lures in the IS counties Of the 18th
supervisors district including Nue.
ceS, Hidalgo. Cameron. Webb, Kle-
berg and other counties.
The work is comprehensive and
includes all manner Of manufactures
and manufactured merchandise
which are made, sold and d~istribut-
ed through the retail agencies OF
every description. The work viii
be organized at once and begin not
later than Feb. ! and be completed
before April /.
1t will require 80 or more special
Enumerators in the IS counties
The object is 10 ascertain the
spread" ic- the cost Of oil kinds
Of things which are bought and
sold. The difference between what
the finished article cost at the fac
tory in the first place or at the
source Of production. and the ul-
innate price at which 1t is sold TO
the consumer. There is known TO
be a vast difference in some lines,
between the cost of manufacture
and ultimate Gales price and a con-
siderable waste and duplication OF
selling costs exists.
1t is intended to find out where
all this spread goes TO and # a con-
siderable part Of IL could not be
saved, and to get an analysis OF the
whole Of these transactions from
start to finish in order TO reduce
the cost of distribution.
All classes Of manufacturers and
distributors and retailers are re-
quested by the bureau Of the Gen.
sus to give the enumerators the
fullest possible information which
is confidential and when all lump
ed in together IN the final publish
ed statistics, discloses no informa-
ton detrimental to any merchant
or manufacturer.

ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer.)
LONDON, Jan. 22.-P-Th q
five-power naval conference turned
directly today to some Of the most
troublesome problems on its path
way to success.
The days reciss between yester-
days converting session and tomor-
rows resumption lin committee"
was formality only. Far from
marking time, the delegations de-
termined in solving their political
and technical problems.
France. inevitably, was the cen
ter OF the picture. 1t was from
Paris one Of the most trnuble-laden
announcements Of the %pre-confer-
ence exchanges emanated. II was
Paris which WIS most concerned
e the italian demand for
Franco-Italian naval parity. To-
day 1t was Andre Tardieu, French
Premier, who stood most conspicu-
ously in the thick OF the first
earnest effort to steer the confer
ence away from danger.
Thus far at least the discussions
have appeared to be largely adj
visory, without any attempt to
reach conclusions. The French de-
legation continued TO assure their
colleagues Of willingness TO make
every reasonable concession TO
maintain harmony. They reassert-
ed that certain primary French ex-
pectations must be met and France
accorded a proper place among the
naval powers II any agreement Is
to be acceptable and lasting.
