$4,000 Will See
Tulane-Ole Miss
Homecoming

Fifty thousand fans--including
many Tulane alumni from all over
Mississippi-will be in Tulane
stadium on Saturday to see the
Green Waves Homecoming Day
game with the Ole Miss Rebels.
And, it is a safe bet, that the
Rebels will have a substantial
backing that day, too, for Ole Miss
fans are eager to see "Chunkin
Charlie" Conerly in there pitching
against Tulane.
Conerly's prowess as a passer
was brought home to Louisiana
fans last season by his great per-
formance against LSU and since
"Chunkin Charlie" has taken up
where he left off in 1916 in APP
pears to many Tulanians that the
best defense for him will be to
kidnap him before the game.

perts.
A feature Of Mondays meeting
was the showing of a color film
of the Alabama-Tulane game, one
-of the most sensational contests
in football history.
The confusing penalty in the
Ole Miss-Vanderbilt game was
explained by Athletic Director M.
j. Bullock of Moss Point who said
that only one offensive player
may touch a forward pass, unless
the pass is caught simultaneous
ly by two players. He stressed
that this applies only in college
football.
Under high school rules, the
ball may be batted around in the
air on forward pass and, if
caught before hitting the ground,
remain legal.
II was also explained that
"roughing the kicker, as called
against Pascagoula last Friday
nisht in their game with Biloxi,
means touching the kicker in any
way, If he gets off his punt. The
defensive team may be penalized
either five or Is yards and the
offensive team automatically re-
ceives first down.

to attend the Quarterback club
luncheon next Monday and may
become members.

Men Use Cosmetics

Britain Regiments
Farming

THE LABOR Government of
Great Britain proposes a revo-
lutionary farm bill, which pro-
vides supervision for agriculture
and even the custer of farmers
who fail to heed advice on mechan-
izing farms and taking advantage
of scientific information to make
the greatest production.
The purpose of the bill is to
stabilize farming by eliminating
some of the uncertainties that make
production problematical. 1t would
provide subsidies, minimum prices
and guaranteed markets.
The food problem of the British
Isles is always serious because Of
the necessity of importing a large
percentage of the foodstuffs neces-
sary to support life. For this reas-
on, it is more than probable thai
many conservative British think
ers will be inclined to support the
efforts of the Labor Government
to increase farm production. The
policy might, in the event of an,
ether war, prove the difference
between victory and defeat by
starvation.

Farm Lands Booming

FARM LAND values have in

within eleven per cent of the 1920
inflationary peak, according to
Secretary Of Agriculture Clinton
F. Anderson, who points out that
the decline later brough ruin to

land at high prices.
The agriculturalists insist that
the "long-term earning capacity of
land provides the only sound basis
for determining, values" and warn
against into heavy Indebtedness in
connection with the purchase of
farm land which has more than
doubled in sixteen states since the
1935-39 period and gone up seven
ty-five per cent or more in eleven
other states.

Abacus Beats Adding
Machine

MODERN MINDED Americans
will be somewhat surprised to
learn that in two recent contests
between an American calculating
machine and the Oriental abacus,
tire Oriental operator managed to
get the decision in both instances.
The first was held in Tokyo.
The centuries-old type of counting
board was operated by Japanese
clerk and it brought about the de-
feat of an American private, using
q modern calculating machine, ia
five mathematical problems.
Therefore, in New York, a
Chinese student, studying in an
American university, pitted his
skill on the abacus against a
young woman, using an office ma
chine, wheeled in on a typewriter
table. The student drew his wood
en- counter from brief case. The
competition was limited TO addi-
ton, subtraction and multiplied
ton of a series of figures. The
Chinese, moving the wooden beads.
arrived at the answer in forty
seconds and the young lady took
forty-eight seconds.
While the abacus will produce
the results in some mathematical
examples, the Chinese representa-
tive readily admitted that the
modern machine possesses some adj
vantages. 1t lists the numbers as
they are added or multiplied and
does the work while the operator
of the abacus must multiply in
ones mind"

Sugar Outlook For 1917

THE SCARCITY of sugar con
tinues to worry the American
housewife but she can get some
comfort from the fact that the
retail price has not fluctuated as
violently as after World War l,
when it jumped from eleven cents
pound in 1919 to twenty-seven
cents in seven months.
Experts on the world outlook for
sugar say, that the 1916 produc-
ticn, 27,200,00O tons, was the small
est in twenty-five years. The es-
innate for next year is 30,000,OOO
tons, but this is thirteen per cent
below the average for the 1859
period.
1t is generally agreed, however,
that moderate increase in the
amount of sugar, available to in
dustrial users and housewives, will
come in 1947. Cane and beet pro-
duction in this country will be
larger and the crops in other areas
that supply the United States offer
promise of larger supplies.
The sugar experts say that the
United States is getting $500, 900
tons of sugar in 1916, which is
about two million tons less than
IN 1910. AS normal consumption is
figured at SO pounds it would re-
quire 100000 tons to supply the
normal American demand, and it
is barely possible that this amount
will be available in 1947.

we note that after three successive

Proclaims Television

THE IDEA that television pro-
grams may rival Hollywood
productions is expressed by j. E
Brown, official of a large radio
company, who suggests that the
cost of the visual entertainment
win be SO high that advertisers
will not provide the funds and
that some other method must be
devised to pay for television.
This is an interesting specula-
ton. It opens UP the possibility
that, in future years, television
win bring to average American
homes a form Of visual entertain
ment that is not now within the
reach of most of the population.
The development of television is
confidently expected and gives the
top-age group of the population
another reason for staying around
to see what is coming.
