Exams are passed out and you find
they are fifteen pages long. AS
you have only six pages of notes,
you wonder how the heck you are
going to make up enough to stag

Instructor chortles: "This
examination is really not hard
one. I've tried to include only the
most important highlights of the
course this quarter" Students do
not look convinced on accounta'
they know college instructors have
awful queer ideas about just what

PERSONALITIES
BY Nellie DOdsOn

Well, the Twentieth Century club
boys hit upon good idea when
they decided to give boxing show
and dance. They were so pleased
with the way things turned out,
that they are already planning for
larger show to be held sometime
in January. The next presentation
will have greater variety of
bouts, both wrestling and boxing,
and will offer even more entertain
ment than Saturday nights affair.
Everybody who went over to
Wheatley Saturday, was more than
satisfied with the show the boys
put on.
I thought the main trouble was
that the mat of the ring was in
tended for boxing rather than
wrestling, and the wrestlers got
pretty well banged up from con-
tacting the hard floor. Next time,
a softer mat should be used.
suppose it's not the easiest thing
in the world to get mat suitable
for both wrestling and boxing, but
it seems that some improvement
could be made.
Lloyd Shanks and Archie James
staged pretty good wrestling
tussle for a couple of amateurs.
They had the folks bowling and
roaring for plenty of rough stuff,
and believe me, the boys dished it
out! "Swede" Olson and Jess
Stevens put on wrestling match
that saw Jess at a slight disad-
vantage because of Olson's expert
ence. The latter had a couple of
injured ribs so he couldn't do so
much, but what he did show was
sufficient proof that he knew the
game just a leetle bit too well for
Jess to cope with him successfully.
Norm Light and Ron Judy ex-
changed punches in a boxing bout,
but the main event of the evening
was between AL Mcclure and Wally
Hagen.
This Hagen kid showed some
stuff that made him stack up as
rather promising ring material for
the future, should he ever decide
to quit the University and go in for
pushing leather for a living. He
knows how to cut loose and let the
punches fly without laying himself
wide open to his opponent. He
spars to get his advantage, and he
does it well for an amateur. He
doesn't waste energy on a lot of
useless motions, and he doesn't get
winded easily. In the next show,
it might be a good idea to match
him with somebody who could
really give him a tough battle so
that he could be tested under fire.
The Twentieth Century boys
promise to bring in some outside
material for their next show, and
that sounds like a good evenings
worth for everybody.

Bell just couldn't believe his eyes

BUSINESS FORCES

Heat Clears Store Shelves
of Summer Goods and
Spurs Fall Orders.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August "A general
expansion of business to higher Level
this week than during the similar
period of last year was found in a
survey issued today by Dun & Brad
street.
Accelerated by the unexpected up
turn in the pace Of operations OF
some of the leading industrials, far In
advance OF the usual period for ex-
pansion more trends reached toward
q higher level than was recorded at
this time q year ago." it was stated IN
the review.
Continuous high temperatures and
new heat waves in some parts OF the
country gave retailers an opportunity
to clear the remaining stocks of Sum-
mer merchandise, making substantial
sums Of cash available for investment
in Fall inventories.
Buying at wholesale was advanced
by the rising current Of consumer de-
mand and the greater price stability"
Although retail trade continued at
an excellent pace. 1t was declared. the
estimated gain in sales for the coun-
try was held to a range Of 10 to 30
per cent over 1884 because Of the
rising trend Of year ago.
while the gains reported by some
Of the markets we're small, general
volume of wholesale orders continued
to rise by q larger percentage over the
comparative showing of last year." the
review found.
Price uncertainties during July led
to the postponement OF so much buy
ing that most wholesalers are making
preparations for an abrupt gain dur
ing August. "''
THE further advance Of industrial
operations has lifted the average from
Is to 25 per cent higher than it was
for the corresponding 1884 week.
Employment held generally steady,
with slight gains at isolated centers,
although the increase was not in
keeping with the advancing rate Of
activity"

INDUSTRIAL NETS

BY RAIDER WINGRr.

NEW YORK, August 2.-The slow
change in the color of figures in the
profit and loss column of corporations
from bright red 10 light gray has
focused the attention of financial au-
thorities on current earnings reports.
BY and large. American business
institutions are climbing higher out
OF the depression and are showing
more favorable net profit reports, but
analysts stress that the road ahead up
the hill is longer than the portion al
ready Travelled.
During April, May and June Of this
year industrial corporations in the
aggregate moved higher than the
profit level of last year at this time.
but the gain for the two periods was
less than the first quarter OF this year
over the flrst quarter Of last.
Financial experts point out that the
second quarter o. 1884 was the high
point of the year, but the third quar-
ter earnings showed the worst com.
parison of that year.
