Likes Menus But

To the Editor of The Times:
For several months I have been
following the nicely arranged
and very much varied menus
that appear on your woman's
page. Usually I do my grocery
buying after I get my paper
and it is seldom I am unable
to select my family's dinner
according to the daily SEIZED
ule.' It saves me a lot of
trouble and pleases the family.
But my husband is a Govern.
ment employe and our budget
is limited, and the recent rise
in food prices has made it
pretty hard for me to follow
the menus. I would like to
suggest that The Times run a
second series of daily menus
that would fit a poor family's
pocketbook. The ones I have
been following are pretty thigh

Birthday Warns Us
To Avoid Court
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
With the observance of the
anniversary of George Wash.
ington's birthday, the American
people should once more be re.
minded of the wisdom of the
United States Senate in refus-
ing to enter the League Court.
The admonition of the Father
of His Country to refrain from
entangling alliances should be
remembered by all American
citizens whenever the Sugges-
ton is made to enter into any
agreements with other nations.
Some time soon, undoubtedly,
agitation will be fomented again
for United States entrance into
the World Court. The recent
rather close vote in the Senate
will give encouragement to those
who desire this country to be-
come involved in the petty quar-
relS of Europe.
But those American citizens
who are anxious to protect the
United States should remember
George Washington'S warning
to beware of foreign entangle-
ments. A. D. R.

FLY FLAG, ORDER.
IN NEW BILL

Cooperation of every patriotic
and fraternal organization in the
United States is being sought by
Representative Virginia E. Jenckes
Of Indiana, for the prompt enact
ment Of her bill requiring officials
to display the American flag on all
Government buildings in Washing.
ton.
Representative Jenckes broad
cast a letter urging all organiza-
tions to appoint flag committees
and request Chairman Hatton
Summers, Of the house Judiciary
Committee, to which her bill was
referred, to report it favorably
and press for it's enactment. /.
Referring to the absence Of any
provision for flags on the new Gov
eminent buildings here, including
the U. s. Supreme Court building
to be dedicated in May, Represen-
tative Jenckes said:
"The American flag has been
removed deliberately from the
roofs of Federal buildings in the
nations capital. The flag was
removed by inSidiOus prOpa-
ganda in the form of q change
in the design of Federal build
ings erected here and elsewhere
throughout the country. This
new design Of building failed to
provide flagpoles on the roofs"
Her bill would impose a penalty
OF 500 fine or 80 days in jail, or
both, upon officials who fail to
provide flagpoles and display the
national colors on the roofs of
buildings under their control. It
also prescribed rules and regula.
lions for displaying the flag.

BUCKNELL
BOXERS

The ring team of Catholic Uni
versity will inaugurate its 1885
season tonight in the C. U. gym,
entertaining as opponent, Bucknell
University of the intercollegiate
Boxing Conference. The first
match is slated to get under way
at 8:15 o'clock.
For the first time in many sea-
sons, Coach Eddie La Fond will
present a well-balanced array of
talent in which all but two divi-
sion representatives, claSsed as
junior welterweight and heavy
weight, have not had college ring
experience behind them. These
battlers are Fred CTom) Mix and
Freddy RydeWski. But in all the
other spots veterans will open the
season against the invading Buck
nell Bisons.
May Not Start
There is a bare possibility that
Rydewski may not start. In this
event Danny Pyne will hold down
the unlimited division for the
Brooklanders, with Tom Oliver,
taking Pyne's spot in the 1865 class.
Two of the matches are slated
to co-feature in embroglio to-
night. Bob Pethick, Bucknell's
1ight-heavy intercollegiate Con-
ference champion, will stack up
against C. US ace mittman,
Francis CRed Fleming. An
added item of interest in refer
ence to this bout is the fact
that both Petrick and Fleming
are ends on their respective foot
ball teams. Pethick was one of
the outstanding stars in the
Bucknell-Miami U. poStseaSon
football game in the Orange
Grove Tournament game in Flor
ida New Year Day.
Dill Is Displaced
Cliff Dill, lightweight champ
of the Intercollegiate Conference,
who was slated to oppose Capt.
Eddie Thibodeau. of the Card
inal team, failed to make the
trip to Washington, having been
eliminated in the Bucknell Uni
versity boxing tournament held
early this week to determine the
places on the varsity team. Dill
was knocked out by sophomore,
Billy Beck in the second round
OF the contest, and consequently
earned the right to appear here
