ATHLETIC SCHEDULE
With view toward increasing the
interest in basketball throughout the
school, the athletic coaches have in
novated into the extra-curricular &C.
tivities, a schedule of intra-mural
games to be played by both girls and
boys teams. In order that this pro-
gram could be arranged it was neces-
sary for change in the usual sched-
ule to be made. Each class was short
ened by five minutes and the lunch
period is now from HAS until 1880,
whereas it was formerly 1900 until
12:45. School continues to be dis
missed at $3.50. The athletic period
lasts one-half hour, from until $3.50.
Two days each week the boys team
practices and the girls have the court
two days, then on Friday of each
week there is both a girls and boys
game played between two of the class
es. Today (Friday) the Senior girls
will challenge the Sophomores and the
Junior boys will engage the Fresh
men in the first game of the inter-
class series. The games promise to
be hotly contested ones. One inter-
esting feature, in connection with
these games, is the ineligibility of
members of the varsity teams. It
was decided that the members of
these teams should be coaches for the
class teams.

to realize that advertising itself

CHAIN STORES
START A GRAPE
FRUIT CAMPAIGN

Merchandising machinery of $4,000
food chain stores in 48 states and the
District of Columbia swung into ac-
ton as they opened another Nation
al FREDERICKSBURG Campaign, a
drive to advertise, promote and sell
grapefruit, with growers now harvest
ing the greatest crop on record.
This campaign, which continues
thru the week of February rs, was
undertaken by the organized food
chains at the urgent request of the
National Grapefruit Growers Com
mittee, representing the growers of
Florida, Texas, California and Ari-
iona, who are confronted with huge
surplus crop.
For the past three weeks, train
loads of the mammoth grapefruit
crop of 100000 boxes, 100000
boxes in excess of normal production,
have been rolling out of the producing
areas to stock the chain stores thru
out the country with citrus fruit to
met the anticipated demand.
John A. Logan, Executive Vice
President of the National Association
of Food Chains, with headquarters in
Washington, declared all the compan-
les in the association were keyed to
do a 100 per cent effective job in
selling grapefruit to make the cam
paign an outstanding success. He
added:
"More than 81, OO0,OOO will be spent
by the food chain companies on news
paper advertising alone to promote
I'D sell more grapefruit than has ev-
before been sold during a similar
eriod Of time. Thousands of sets of
advertising display material have been
shipped to cooperating companies.
Store personnel eagerly await the OPP
portunity to serve producers and con-
sumers. Such universal support is
the best possible assurance Of the
solution of the No. surplus prob
lem of the country as the Depart
ment of Agriculture classifies it.
GOOD chains have gained valuable
experience in this type of coordinated
merchandising programs through the
sales campaigns put on during the last
few months for peaches, beef, turkeys
and other seasonal surplus crops.
Those campaigns, which were promot-
ed at the request of producers, put
millions of dollars in the pockets of
the farmers and stock-raisers and
gave consumers quality products at
reasonable prices.
Consumers will benefit in more
ways than one from this campaign.
The food chain companies are buying
grapefruit by the train-load and pric-
ing it to sell fast. By handling this
large volume in short time the stores
will effect savings and pass them a
long to the public. Consumers also
will be getting better quality grape
fruit, as this seasons crop is heavy
with juice, due to ideal growing con-
ditions and scientific culture"

showed that IA rubber companies
had submitted Identical bids for the

these identical bids were the result
of collusive action and of a combina-
ton in. restraint Of trade"

ferred to the Department of Justice
with view to prosecution"

from balloon, but the girl gamely
''pedalled and prayed" to maneuver
herself five times under the chute
to block her fall.
The chute collapsed the last time
when she was about IL feet above the
ground. Both legs were broken and
she suffered shock and other injuries.
The parachute snagged somehow on
clothing of her brother, Eddie, 49, who
also was hanging to the balloon with
Sister Florence, Is. The cloth tore
from side to center and the girl
dropped like rock.

COPELAND VISIONS
Sd PARTY AS HOPE
Must Be Formed if New Deal
Is to Be Beaten in 1910,
Senator Declares.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY,

Success for the New Deal in the
1910 national elections seems newt
able at this time unless a new party
can be formed, Senator Copeland,
Democrat. of New York, who has
opposed the administration on fire.
quent occasions, predicted here today.
He indicated his view is based on
a belief the spending policies of w. p.
A. and other alphabetical agencies
have given the New Deal the support
OF large groups of voters.
If the Treasury was no longer
called on for large sums of money to
be expended in these various activi-
ties. there undoubtedly would be a
readjustment," Copeland said.
Asked who he thought would be the
New Deal candidate in 1910, the New
York Senator replied:
Roosevelt first, La Toilette second
and Lewis third-one OF those three" "
New Party Only Hope.
In addition to the President, he was
referring to the Progressive Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin and John L.
Lewis, leader of the c. I. o.
Copeland said he did not believe the
New Deal could be defeated by re-
building the Republican party, adding
the only way is by new party"
Asked If he had noticed any change
in public sentiment on the Supreme
Court enlargement proposal since it
was sidetracked in the Senate. Cope-
land, one of the opponents, said he
believed sentiment against it is be-
coming crystalized and that "the Black
incident has clinched it,"
Will Listen to Talk.
This was the only reference he made
to charges concerning Supreme Court
Justice Hugo L. Blacks reputed Ku
Klux Klan membership, except to say
he planned to listen to the Justices
radio talk tonight.
Senator Copeland, who was de-
feated recently in the three-cornered
primary race for nomination for
Mayor of New York City, renewed
his support of jeremiah Mahoney, the
Democratic primary winner. Point
ing out that both Mahoney and Mayor
La Guardia, who is seeking re-elec-
tion, are both New Deal supporters, he
SAID he would back the Democratic
nominee.
The New York Senator said he did
not believe there would be an extra
session before January, although he
has heard unofficial speculation on
the likelihood of this.
