get a few tips on decorating the

are just the type of thing you could
make too.
The eighth graders are excellent

ELEMENTARY BUSYBODIES
The kindergarten children have
begun their plans for Christmas
party. Each one of the children is
going to make present for his
mother and father. A Christmas
scene has been posted on the bull
letin board which adds Christmas
spirit to their room. Their room
has been decorated with paper

hanging on it. Their playhouse has
several changes in it, the furniture
has been painted green, new cup

in the world. The main reason
for this is that the iron in Mime
sofa is near the surface of the
ground and can be scooped with
steam shovels instead Of blasted
with dynamite. Next week the
class will spend several days study
ing the use Of cement and concrete
and how important 1t is in our
daily lives. It will be very interest
ing to the class because of the work
going on around school. In fact
outside the classroom there is a
cement mixer and the students will
have a chance to see how cement
and concrete are made ready for
use. Last week for daily assign
ments the students made maps of
the United States showing the lead
ing forest areas. These maps were
very good. Some drew trees on the
forested areas and others colored
those parts. For next week they
plan to make maps on which they
show the fishing areas off the coast
Of the United States. They will al
so read a topic, Japan's War and
Americas Trade found in the Dec
ember issue Of the Readers Digest.
This topic shows what effect war
has on trade and what effect ia
pans occupations on China will
have on China's trade with the
United States.
With the steam shovel doing such
interesting things as picking up
large trees and pulling up the flag
pole, picking up steps, etc., and
the drillers making much noise and
dust on the west side of the build
ing the commercial students have
found what was going on outside at
times more interesting than on the
inside. But in spite of all the out
side attraction, the stenography ]
and II classes completed the typ.
ing and the blocking for the third
issue Of the Schoolmaster and the
Christmas number will be in the
hands of subscribers before the
Christmas recess. The following
new records were also added to the

quite colorful. The highest record
for this week was made by Ralph
Steffes while the record for accur
acy was taken by Verna Iwinsk
with no errors.
Trial balances have furnished
bug bears for some of the book
keepers while for others they have
been mere play. Students have
found it pays to be very accurate
in journalizing, posting, and in the
simple processes of addition anG

that a figure be made to lool
like a s and not a 3.

SPORTS

The Toftness cagers breezed over
to Benson for their fourth game
Of the season and were edged out
by one point. It was in the last
minute of play, with the score tied,
that a Main Streeter" unfortu-
nately fouled Benson man which
accounts for the 20-19 defeat. But
lose or not the Main Streeters"
deserve lot of praise for the bril-
liant game which they played.
Every player that left the Sank
Centre bench for action against
Benson went on that floor with but
one thought in mind, and that was
to play the best ball he was cap
able Of. AS your reporter was
watching the players for individual
performance he CHANGED to see
Conkey execute couple pivot
shots that would knock your eyes
out, for when he makes twist
for that basket it's score and
there's no two ways about it. They
all smiled when Sieben went on the
floor, but they changed their OPP
inion when he nabbed that ball and
fairly ran circles around those lar
ger fellows from Benson. Pangburn
was second high point man. Con-
key being the highest with 8 and
Pang with z. Don Ethun and Don
Kringen, two indispensable guards,
did just what they couldn't do
against Tech. That is to break in
on offense and tighten UP on de-
tense, which certainly proved an
asset in the game last Friday eve
ming.
Many of the students gaze yearn-
ingly at the skating rink, to be, on
the playground and wish that it
were ready for use, as it was quite
a popular recreation spot last year
when it was too cold and there
was too much snow to make your
efforts worthwhile on the lake.
Last year a few unfortunate acct
dents occurred, but this year they
should be down to q minimum for

THIS N THAT, ABOUT THE
SENIOR HI
The steady reign Of work" fell
from its throne Friday, when pep
fest was held in the senior high
assembly. AS usual, the cheerlead-
ers led the program, and did very
good job Of it. They dramatized an
amusing dialogue Of the actions of
the audience during a basketball
game. Usage, Mr.. Olson's favorite
yell then went into effect with
much gusto. Peg Hoffman, the
gossip commentator, gave up-to-the-
minute news on all the latest heart
beats in the senior high. Don't
lose your spirit boys; even If you
can't win every game, be good
sports about it," were the influence
ing words Miss Wilson gave in a
short speech to the team. The pro-
gram came to a close with a yell
for the team.

u. S. SLAVES CENT
OFF SILVER PRICE
London Market Falls 2.67
an 0unCe-BIoW Is Seen
Aimed at Mexico.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury shaved another cent
OF its price for foreign silver today.
Following similar 1-cent reduction
yesterday. which was the first change
in more than two years, the price to-
day was cut to 43 cents per ounce.
The action, which many observers
believe directed at Mexico because of
its appropriation Of American oil prop
critics, will make it more difficult for
Mexico to sell its silver abroad. The
Treasury has discontinued its former
purchases of 100000 ounces of Mexi-
can silver monthly.
Today's reduction apparently con-
f1rmed fears of London silver specu-
lators that the United States was
withdrawing its support Of the world
price.
The London market fell 267 cents
to the equivalent of Alp cents an
ounce. With the London markets fall
ing and the United States aiding the
fall by successive reductions of the
Treasury price for silver, experts said
any attempt by Mexico to place its sill
yer on the world market might result
IN more serious collapse of the price.
Mexico is the worlds largest silver pro-
ducer.
The Treasury's action did not affect
the price for silver mined within the
United States, which the Treasury buys
at a price OF 64.64 cents an ounce.

House.

The Senate concurred this afternoon
in House amendments to the bill out
lawing the numbers" racket in WASH
'ington, thus completing Congressional
action on the measure 1t now goes
to the White House for President
Roosevelt's approval.
The amendments were approved by
unanimous consent in the Senate at
the request of Chairman King of the
District Committee The principal
amendment, proposed by United States
Attorney David A. Pine, makes posses
sion of original numbers" tickets or
records of such bets evidence Of violat-
ing the District lottery law and pun
lshable by penitentiary sentences.
King Is Pleased.
In proposing the change Mr.. Pine
explained he feared the bill as writ
ten would have hit only the player
and not the backer Of the game He
pointed out that the courts had held
numbers slips within the meaning of
the lottery statute referred only to the
carbon copies sometimes given players.
Senator King. long an advocate of
legislation to curb the numbers racket,
was pleased at House approval of the
measure he sponsored in the Senate.
He pointed out that he helped draft
the bill and has taken a special in
terest in it.
In the House yesterday Representa-
tive Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois,
urging the bill in behalf of the Dis
trict committee, declared the Pine
amendment was essential if the au-
thorlties were to convict the big
shots backing the racket. He called
the racket dangerous and crime
increasing enterprise. Another blast
against the racket was delivered by
Representative Randolph, Democrat,
Of West Virginia, also a committee
member.
The only speech against the bill was
delivered by Chairman Palmisano, but
the section he objected to-the search
and-seizure clause-was not amended,

Senate. This section adds numbers
