IMPROVED
FORM
Nv GARRETT WATERS

Regardless Of what the folks
are thinking and Hap Hardell Is
moaning, you can bet your sweet
life that the Tech High School
eleven is going to be another
touch nut to crack this season.
In other words, the Manual
Trainers promise to show the
way again this year In the high
school grid series for the cham
pionship. And the reason? Wen,
here's one: e u.
Coach Hap had his cohorts
out at College Park YESTERDAY
scrimmaging against the Mary
land University Freshmen. Hap
was telling his men how rotten
they were. as usual, but the
funny part OF 1t was they were
good and plenty good.
Folks witnessing the scrim-
mage were loud in their
praise of the Techites, i'm
the manner In which they
went through the frosh, seer
ing decided points on both
the Offense and defense.
They mumbIed after It was
all over that you can't put
anything by this HaPdell per.
SON.
All Of which is to say, as said
before, that Tech looks to be II.
for another big season, possibly q
championship season again. The
team has been defeated by both
Episcopal and Baltimore Poly,
true. But in those defeats there
was that indefinable something
known as class behind them, class
which Just made you feel conf.
dent that 1t would be brought out
before long. A few more games
and the high school series might
further developments. The plot
thickenS. Watch Tech from
now on.
Scholastic footballers, by the
way, begin the busiest weekend
of the early season today in the
playing OF. five games. Two con.
tests tomorrow will round out the
program.

BERG ENGAGES

NEW YORK, oct. 10. .-- Jack
(Rid) Berg, the best English
fighter sent to these shores In a
score Of years, is going to clear his
record Of the only stain on 1t OF
get 1t further smeared. in his 10
round bout with Billy Petrolle, the
Fargo Express" in Madison
Square Garden tonight.
It's q bout of great importance
to the rivals. It means for the
winner a lucrative match with
Jimmy McLarnin, and finally 9
chance to win the world light
weight championship from A
Singer. Each is aiming that way
Each Is ambitious.
PetrOiIe, with his five-rOund
knockout Of Berg. performed
about two years ago, believes
he has an edge on the BritOn
and that he can again apply
the wallOp which made him
famous in the roped square.
Berg, convinced that he Is ar
improved fighter over what he wal
two years ago, is cocky about the
outcome, believing he will erase
the smear from his escutchcor
and give Petrolle q sound trounc
ing.
When they weigh in this after
noon insthe Garden there will nct
be q half-pound difference be
tween them. Berg probably show
ing 1876 pounds and Petrolle q
little less.

For Roman Professions

A modern villa, Marta Pia, on the
via Nomentana in Rome opened its
doors November IA to the diplomatic
corps stationed in Rome, ministers OF
the Facist government, hierarchs Of the
state and to italian and foreign news
paper men. Mgr. Borgongini-Duca
apostolic nuncio to the court of Italy,
and coadjutors, Mgrs. Tesla and Sc
rens, cordially received their friends as
prescribed for In the protocol. In the
reception room people met and spoke
to one another with reserve and shy
ness, similar to brothers who have been
separated for q long time and suddenly
are permitted to shake hands in public.
Glimpses and impressions gathered on
tour of the rooms where amity
reigned once more after long years of
rupture between blacks" and whites
were: The preconceived absence Of
church dignitaries and ladies; striped
trousers and morning coats, a prelates
purple cloak, military uniforms; italian
ecclesiastics speaking their mother
tongue again and Romans admiring
beautiful oil paintings of his holiness;
Pope Plus armchair in the hall of the
throne turned about facing the wall;
Anglo-Saxons, South Americans, Ger
mans, Japanese all In universal con-
fusion Of speech.

Japanese Outwits
Wall Street Wolves

At least one japanese found that
some good can come from stock ex-
change crashes. When the recent
slump on the New York market took
place, Shinnosuke Ishida of Toxic hap
pened TO be In the United States on
pleasure trip. Feeling that it was
time for g. little extra excitement ana
disregarding the advice of his friends
that the stock market was bad place
for an inexperienced foreigner, Ishida
went TO New York and started to play
the market in a quiet way. He hap
pened to gauge his first activities cor
rectly, buying 10000 shares of United
States Steel, which he was able to sell
after a few days at a profit of $3.50
a share when steel moved counter to
the general downward trend. Trans
lated into yen his quick-earned for
tune amounted TO something over $780,
900 yen (about $160,000) at the pres
ent rate Of exchange. Ishida again
showed his wisdom and decided that
he would keep his profits. He Is now
in Toxic and the object of great adj
miration among all his friends, who
like to hear him tell how he outwitted
the wolves Of Wall Street.

Golf Makes Big Strides
In Six Italian Cities

Not even the Fascist nationalistic
campaign for the revival of typical Ital-
ian sports, evidenced in the present pop
ularity Of "tamburella," game played
by any number of people equipped with
drum-like paddles and a hard rubber
ball, has failed to prevent golf from
seizing the fancy of Italians. In the
last several years the interest In this
typically English and American game
has risen to such pitch that 20 courses
have been laid out In the country, not
only for the benefit of tourists, but for
the native population as well. The
principal tourist places which now offer
recreation to golf bugs from foreign
strands are Rome, Florence, Palermo,
San Reno, Venice and Viareggio. In
order to make the support Of these
courses less expensive during the of
seasons when tourists are frightened
away by the heat, Emit, oficial Italian
tourist association. is drumming up in
terest among Italians by means Of
handsome brochure setting forth the
rules of the game and advocating par
ticipation in 1t because of its health
giving and sporting qualities.

and to appoint Pierre Quesnay Of the
Bank of France as managing director of
the bank M. Quesnay is only IS years
old, but has given sufficient proof of
rare financial talent. He figured prom
inently In the framing of the Young
plan by the experts at Paris and later
at Baden Baden in the drawing up Of
the statutes for the new bank. No
doubt the director will proceed with the
least possible delay to the making Of ar
rangements for fiotation of the first set
of reparation bonds based on the I'M
conditional payments under the Young
plan.
NOTES+At last. on April 16, the dis
agreements between the Chamber and
the Senate having been adjusted, the
French budget bill for the fiscal year
l930-31 was adopted. The bill embodies
many changes some, such as great re-
duction of the de luxe taxes applying to
hotels and luxury goods and abolition
of embarkation and demarkation taxes
on transatlantic and Channel services,
being of especial interest to American
tourists.

HAITI.-President Borno of Haiti is
having difiiculty in trying to carry out
his part of the agreement between Pres
ident Hoover's commission on the one
hand and himself and the Haitian OPP
position leaders on the other. BY that
agreement Eugene Roy was to have
been chosen temporary President on
April IA by the council Of state with the
understanding that he would convene
the Legislature, which would choose a
permanent President. But on the 14th
the council, though composed of Presi-
dent Borno's appointeeS, refused to dis
place President Borno and appoint Mr.
Roy. OF course there are some who
charge that President Borno was not
sincere in urging his own displacement
and that the councillors were glad to
give effect his real wishes and the more
so, as they feared loss of political inf1u-
ence for themselves under the proposed
new regime. A rather ambiguous proc
lamation by President Borno Is capable
of being construed agreeably TO the
above construction; but much construc-
ton seems to be belied by President
Bornos action in ousting IL members
of the council, presumably for con-
tumacy. and substituting others. He
informed our Government that a new
election could not be held before the
week commencing April 20, and our
Government informed him that the
agreement must. be lived up to.

Watching Campaign Costs

to the major parties to wipe out cam
paign deficits.
The first public protest against the
excessive use Of money in presidential
elections came during the campaign OF
1892, when the Bank of the United
troll of credit facilities to oppose the
reelection of President Jackson.
Cursory examination was made OF
campaign expenses from time to time
until in the eighties, when the national
parties began to reach beyond the mil
lion dollar mark, serious consideration
began TO be paid.
The best estimate of the outlay made
to elect Lincoln in 1860 is 100000, q
paltry sum compared with the lavish
expenditures of today. The high-water
mark prior to the Civil War was said
to have been reached in 1856, when
the Democrats spent $250,000 in be-
half of Buchanan's candidacy. There
was admittedly something like So, SOC, 900
spent to elect Mckinley in 1895 and but
a million less for his second run in
1900. These Mckinley figures are
guesses, however. for 1t was not until
1908 that the public was really given
anything like accurate figures of the
expenditures of the major national
parties. The actual figure for McKin-
nearly $10,000,000 or even $4,000 900
Many Ways of Spending.
OF course, there are innumerable
ways of spending money In a national
campaign, just as there are innumer-
able ways of collecting 1t, but the as
seSsment of corporations, as practiced
by the father of the present Senator
from Illinois, Mrs. Mccormick, is at
least a little out of date.
The first American law regulating the
use of money in elections New York
had the honor of passing in 1890. And
it was not until Is years later, when
Alton B. Parker ran for the presidency,
that any serious agitation developed for
Federal legislation on the subject.
However, in none of the Federal
legislation has any attempt been made
to limit or control the amount spent
on q presidential campaign. Public
opinion 10 the cole controlling factor.

pared with that of Canada the break
down of the American banking system
Il brought out in clear relief. In the
same period of time there was but one
failure In the Dominion, despite an agri-
cultural depression Of an intensity equal
to that of the United States. The one
institution that failed was the Home
Bank, in 1923, with deposits amounting
to $4,000. 900 and with 60 branches.
Interestingly enodgh, this failure was
induced mainly by loans made to Amer
lean concerns. Whatever measure OF
comparison be taken, the per cent Of the
liabilities Of the failed banks to total
bank liabilities or the per capita liabili-
ties Of the failed banks, the record Of the
United States Is most disgraceful. The
banks Of Canada, with their network or
branches, were able so to diversity their
loans and investments that they with
stood the agricultural depression and
came through with much less loss to de-
positors than those In the United States.
Since 1t has been the small bank that
has failed some have suggested as a
corrective the raising of the minimum
capital requirements for all banks to at
least 100000. That this would help
there Is no doubt. But 1t would leave
many communities without adequate
banking service.
Canada Compared with United States.
Not only from the point of view Of
safety. but from other points of view,
too, the contribution that may be rem
dered by the branch banks to the eco
nomic development Of Canada Is much
greater than Is possible under our bank
ing system. While some of the die-hard
opponents of branch banking picture
Canada as q part of the Arctic wilder
ness whose people have been held back
and are enslaved by the all-powerful
and grasping branch banks, statistical
studies belle this and demonstrate that
she has enjoyed more years Of prosperity
per years of depression than the United
States. In this cyclical prosperity and
ion the branch banks have performed
services impossible for unit institutions.
Whenever the population shifted the
branch banks have established ofhces
frequently far In advance of railroad
lines. The banks followed the popula-
ton shifts to the prairie provinces, TO
the gold fields of the Klondike and the
Cobalt, to the numbering and ranching
sections. Banks were established in the
concentration camps during the World
War and followed the troops to France.

Japanese Children
Bring Broken Dolls

A rather touching religious ceremony
In honor of broken dolls Is held every
year at the Teikoku Primary School
In a suburb of Toxic. Teachers and
mothers assist the young girls in the
brief rite which takes place in June
before q special monument set UP in
the school grounds.
A priest from a nearby temple con-
ducts the ceremony, beginning by read
ing a sutra ID comfort the spirits of the
dolls. Each child takes to the school
on the appointed day any dolls that
have been damaged during the last
year and places them on q table for
that purpose.
In the ceremony held this year there
we're 40 broken dolls, of which we're
made in America, were Of celluloid
and the rest typically Japanese with
native style clothes.
After the priest had finished his
prayer the principal sEead statement
of coincidence and then the monument
was raised and the dolls buried. The
principal said that he thought the rite
was very appropriate for the children
because it fostered in them spirit Of
tenderness.

Returns Land
To Hawaii Territory

Reinsurance of peace in the Pacific
may be found in the fact that the War
Department Is returning to the Terri
tory of Hawaii considerable tracts of
land on the Island of Oahu hitherto set
apart for military use. These tracts
originally were territorial property, but
a number of years ago, when Hawaii's
Army posts were being developed, the
territorial government was asked for the
land on the ground that 1t was needed
for Army purposes.
For the past 10 years sentiment has
been growing that the Army had all the
land it needed and bit more, and that
the territory should be permitted to put
to civil and permanent use some of the
important acreages held as military
property. The Federal Government now
is taking the same view and the War
Department is acquiescing, the result
being that the land Is to be turned back
to the territory under revocable license,
at first, but properly later the permanent
title will again be vested In the terri
tory. Among the tracts so returned Is
Sand Island, at the entrance to Homo
lulu Harhor.
