forcing regulations forbidding tife pluck

sentimental ostentati6n when some one
has been put on the spot.

Busy Life.

Again does April bring the call
To golf and fishing and base ball;
And tennis. too, and cards which ma!
Please In less athletic way.
Attainment now We swiftly seek
a 5-hour day, 5-day week
And some assure us that they can
Build nations on Swear plan!
We play each slight or serious game.
Repose but little time can claim.
We plan for pleasure or for strife
And sigh, This is Busy Life!"

Bewarei Beware! You shall not dare
To touch a blossom growing there
But should a Princess from Japan
With wistful eye the poisoning scan,
That seems greeting meant to be
From homeland far beyond the sea.
Friend Officer, do not delay,
But give the Princess a bouquet.

THE MAN IN THE GREEN HAT''

With all it's zeal for Investigation it appears that the United States Senate has been satisfied to drop proposed inquiry into the activities of George L. Cas- sdy selfconfessed official bootlegger to members of Congress- known 'the man in the green hot"
 When arrested last year for selling liquor to the solons capitol hill, Cassiday made startling revelations. He admitted that he had been plying his trade among members of Congress for 10 years, and estimated that -four of five Senators and Con- gressmen consume liquors either at offices homes"
 He said he had made an average of 20 to 25 deliv- cries of whiskey to these distinguished customers daily one day reaching record of Al sales He added that T have sat in the gallery and heord one of my csto- deliver rattling good prohibition speech"
 When arrested, Cassidys little black book" con tajnng list of his Congressional customers seiz- ed One Senator threatened to ask for investigation to expose the names on this list but he apparently found it convenient to forget it. Another famous in- vestgating Senator made similar threat but nothing further happened.
 Whether Cassidy's statements are true or not has been established but the fact that the investgat ors have failed to press matters would justify the be- lief that they knew stick of political dynamite when they it.

 AUSTRIA AGREE
 CUSTOMS UN|ON
NEW CUSTOMS ARRANGEMENT WILL NOT VIOLATE LET
 TER OF TREATY

BERLIN, Mar. 26. (R) A customs union in fact and name has been agreed upon by Ger many and Austria. e.,
 The official announcement con- taining this information was re- leased simultaneously in :. Berlin and Vienna after proper: notifica- tio was forwarded to Paris, Lon don and Rome. Information al- ready passed along to these. three capitals is that the two Germaine governments intend to create; a unified customs and trade prac-. tices agreement and includes an invitation for others to join, in- timating that the move is de- signed to be the first step to- ward a pan-European customs union such as is enviSaged by Aristide Briand, foreign minister for France.
 It is estimated that at least three months will be necessary to perfect the details, after which both parlaments must ratify it. While the agreement will destroy all trade barriers between. the two countries, each nation will re- tain full independence and free dom to make other trade agree mentS not inimicable to the other partner.
 The treaty is to lat only three years. Otherwise a straight GUS toms union is foreseen. News of the agreement was received with misgivings in Paris, despite the report that Germany has given assurances that the arrangement will not infringe upon the letter or spirit of the Versailles Treaty.

The Big Ten games follow:
 Northwestern vs ohio at Colum- bus.
 Michigan vs Illinois at Urbana.
 Iowa vs Minnesota at Minneap- oils.
 Indiana vs 1hicago at Chicago.
 The other two Big Ten teams. Wisconsin and Purdue. will invade the east for intersectiona1 tits. Wisconsin, playing it's first game in the east since 1899 when Yale beat the Badgers, so, will meet Penn~ sylvania at Philadelphia.
 First Trip East
 Purdue, badly crippled but with plenty of capable, if inexperienced. replacements, will meet Carnegie Tech at Pittsburg in the Boiler- makers first eastern trip since thss 19-0 victory over Harvard in 1927.
 Big Ten football followers expect the survivor of the Northwestern- Ohio State game to go on to win undisputed possession of the com ference championship. Ohio State already has toppled Michigan, last years co-champion of the Big Ten. 20-7.
 Michigan's defeat at the hands of Ohio State has taken the edge off Illinois homecoming game, but it'll probably be quite battle between age old rivals, nevertheless.
 The Minnesota-Iowa and Indiana. Chicago games bring together the Big Tens supposedly weakest teams.
 Ramblers Are Ready
 Pittsburg comes west with an un- defeated, unscored record and a high1y-touted line, but probably, will run into the full fury of Notre Dame's resourceful offense. Coach Heartily Anderson has pointed the Irish for this game.

JOE FONTANA IN
 TRINITY LINEUP

Hartford, Oct 23--Five new players will be in the Trinity line- up when the local college meets Haverford, Saturday. While the coaching staff intends to make a real effort to win this game the Blue and Gold board of strategy is pointing for the more important wesleyan clash which comes the following week after, and will save it's varsity men as much as possi- ble.
 The most important change will be the posting of Joe Fontana at fullback. Fontana has been unable to play so far this season because of injuries, but his splendid work against the freshmen in scrimmage Wednesday has earned him the varsity berth. The husky 195 pound fullback who was regular last year, is expected to play most of the game as he needs the expe- rience to familiarize himself with the plays. Fontana, a favorite at Trinity, will beg iven thorough test and his work against Haver- fold will determine whether he will hold varsity position for the Wesleyan contest.

|SAVOLDI ISAYSPR
 GAME STRONGER

Los Angeles, Oct 23.-(UP)- Joe Savoldi, Jumping Joe" of Notre Dame fame, now a profess sional wrestler, believes profession al football is a stronger game than that played by the amateurs.
 Most pro football players" said Savoldi, "are recruited from college ranks and are picked because they have shown unusual ability in the pigslxin sport.
 "When you consider that the pro player has had probably seven years of high school and college football experience you can under stand why he is smarter and more smooth in his play. As in other sports the football player improves as he plays"
 Last year when Savoldi dropped out of Notre Dame and took up professional football he earned more than $12,000 in four games. Since turning wrestler he has been undefeated, among his victims be- ing Everett Marshall, Colorado. and pr Karl Sarpolis. Cleveland.
