PLAYERS SEE COLLEGE GAME

Twenty-six football men went to
Walla Walla Saturday to watch
the football game between Whit
man and Pacific University at
Stockton. California. Cars were
furnished by the business men to
transport the boys.
The game proved to be a fast
interesting exhibition of college
football. The Pacific players put
up a better game of ball than the
Whitman players, however, the
final score stood 10.
The boys enjoyed the game and
learned several pointers which may
be of good use in the future.

Par1s-( -(UP)-French automobile manufacturers. realizing the fact that their industry has become the second largest automoitive industry in the world, and the third ranking domestic industry, following only wheat growing and wine making. have decided that a protective tar Tiff Is more dangerous than helpful.
 Certain groups have asked parlia- ment to tighten the tax on American, British and German cars as a clever effort to stave off retaliation.
 Figures show that vile importing two foreign cars, France exported five. leaving balance well in the favor of it's automobile manufac- turers. It is to protect this balance against retaliation that the manufac- turers are inviting the lower tariff.
 At present American cars of more than 15 h. D. are compelled to pay an enormous duty, whether the cars are assembled in France or Amer ica. American manufacturers also complain that they are unable to get such advantageous ratings for their motors as French makers.
 The new Ford, for example, is rated at 19 h. D., while the corre- spending Citreon and Renault cars are rated at 10 h. D. Since taxes, insurance and fes are based on horsepower, the owners of American cars are forced to pay more than the owners of correspondingly small French cars.
 The French automobile industry, in 193O, consumed a total of 245,O0O tons of steel, 45,000 tons of cast iron. 12,000 tons of bronze, 4,5OO tons of paints and varnishes. $500 tons of cotton and other stuffing for seats and 250,00O square meters of glass.
