of DR.. Joshua Bloch, administra-
tor of the allowance.
Friedus could be impervious to
Imber's pleas for more than the
stipulated allowance. F'riedus
could be hard. A girl with brown
hair had made him hard. He had
loved a girl with brown hair. She
had turned him down and ever
after, Friedus had a complex
about broWn-haired girls.
After the brown-haired girl
episode, Friedus knew only one
thing-books. His whole heart
was in the library and he even
tried to make Imber peruse his
books. He would place the allow
ance in a different book each
week, so that Imber would have
to search and perhaps read
book. But what did Imber want
of books? 81 write on all SUBJ
jects," he told Norman Hapgood.
81 know nothing about the SUBJ
jects I write Everything is fake"
he added, Except psychology"
Imber's life seems to validate
his thesis in part. He was a study
in psychology.

SHORTAGE OF WOMEN IN
ISRAEL

So great is the shortage of
women in Israel that there are
$4,000 surplus bachelors with no
hope of marriage" This is the
claim made by the League for
the Protection of Bachelors
Rights" in Israel in a poster cam
paign in Tel-Aviv, urging the
government to promote immigra-
ton of more women. The League
of Bachelors claims, further, that
the shortage is exploited by
women "who refuse to look at
any bachelor unless he is in the
category of taxi drivers, doctors,
or engineers" The latest Israeli
population figures do not entirely
bear out the Leagues contention,
states the London Jewish Obser-
yer and Middle East Review; the
surplus of men is only $4,000, not
$4,000 as the League claims.

DES MONIES, April 24.-The
Drake Relays began today with
the spotlight focused on at
tempts to set new American
records in the university 4-mile
relay and sprint medley.
Kansas owned the 4-mile mark
for a brief time last spring after
WeS Santee outsprinted Joe La
Pierre of Georgetown in the
final lap for a 17:15.9 victory,
mark later bettered by Michigan.
With much the same team, the
Jayhawks are slight favorites
today over field that includes
Georgetown, Indiana and Michi-
gan State.
Running for Georgetown will
be Ed Kirk, Carl Joyce, Charley
Capozzoli and LaPierre.
Kansas Choice in Sprint.
Kansas is a big choice in the
sprint medley where it set a
mark of 3:21.8 this spring. The
accepted American record is
3:22.7.
Five other final events and six
preliminarieS were on the open
ing-day card.
Some of the country's fastest
sprinterS and hurdlerS were to
make first appearances in the
preliminary rounds:
The 100-yard dash field had
Willie Williams of Illinois, the
Big Ten indoor champ who has
done 9.4 seconds, a tenth of a
second under the Drake record
set by the late Roland Locke of
Nebraska in 1926 and twice tied.
Other dashmen include Charles
Thomas of Texas; Charles
league of North Texas State and
Gene Buie of the Pittsburg
(Kans.) Teachers.
Illinois Hurdler Back.
Joe McNulty of Illinois is back
to defend his 120-yard high
hurdles championship and it
would be a big surprise if he
didn't win again, possibly under
the Drake record of All seconds.
McNulty did IA fiat in a dual
meet with California last Satur-
day. Jim Philbee of Bradley did
14.2 for a close second to Nc
Nulty in the Southern Relays.
Part of tomorrow's final pro-
gram will be on television (over
WTOP-TV in Washington from
3 to 4 p.mD and one of the fea-
lures is another clash between
Georgetown and Kansas in the
distance medley. Michigan State
also is expected to be prominent
in this race, scheduled for the
television program at 3:15 pm.
