RISE IN LIVING
COSTS PREDICTED

NEW YORK.-A 100 per cent increase
in the cost of living during the next few
years was predicted by DR.. Edwin Walter
Kemmerer, professor of international fin
ance at Princeton university.
The prospects would seem to be strong
that as result of the inflationary
measures already adopted by the admins
tration, coupled with the depreciation Of
gold itself, which will naturally follow the
return flow of gold, after the depression,
to its customary monetary and trade chan
nels, the cost of living in the United States
will be at least double what it is today"

OIL WELL is
DRILLED AT SEA

MOSCOW.-The first oil well ever to
be drilled IN the open sea has been com
pIeted on the Artem island oilfield, near
Baku. The well is situated $40 miles north
west OF the short and has been constructed
on foundation built of old pipes covered
with cement.
The well was drilled out at sea in con-
nectiOn with oil gushers that recently
sprayed from number of wells in the
northwestern part of the island. This led
biologists to take the view that an oil bear
ing layer might be hidden under the sea
floor. The boring of this well showed that
this theory was correct, and the first oil
is to be obtained from the well this month.

Turner Disturbed
On the last lap now. Joe Tur.
ner is greatly disturbed as the bat
tie between Philip Furr, the So
called Welterweight champion of
the District of Columbia, and DR..
William Goettling RACES along.
There are charges and counter
charges on both sides. Furr says
that Goettling made no effort to
obtain him matches, and that by
neglect forfeited his rights as man
ager. Furr also made statements,
that if aired, might call for in
Vestlgation by certain bureaus of
our Government.
In the meantime, Turner re.
fuses to turn over more than one
third of Furr'S money to Goet-
Ting. Joe is willing to give DR..
Goettling the one-third share
called for in the contract which
the commission approved. But,
according to Turner, the medico
refused to accept any such settle
ment. So, now it will drag along
into court and probably they'll

that time, however, the Silents
have been working exclusively to
polish up their offense against the

The C. U. outfit, following its
fine victory over Duke University

home to defeat a tough La Sale
quintet, for the first time on the
court.
Over the long court series, q
total of 81 battles has been staged
with the Cardinal teams coming
off victorious in % of the tilts.
The Red Birds have compiled a
total of 1908 points to the Gal
laudet total of 778. The last vic
tory for the Silents was achieved
in 1881, when the Gallaudet crew
annihilated the BrooklanderS, II

Last year, in the two-game Sc

both battles, winning the first
tilt, 33 to 81, and bagging the
