A small number of the viceroys were, on the other hand, real patriots and able men Here at this time bribery, and dis- illusionment in the form of govern- ment and business, prevailed and a just judge was almost unknown, "It was, however, during the last years of the Manchus that China ex- perienced a new contact, This was with the people, mostly tradesmen and missionaries of the 'outside' world.

TAKING IT CALMLY (From the Detroit News) A New York doctor, who is called on in his practice to treat all kinds of maladies incident to golf, has prescribed a way by which the great goliing fraternity can lower its blood pressure while lowering its score, Upsetting a popular doctrine that goli must be played vehemently, the doctor says no good can come' of the prevailing practice of slam- ming the desk shut at 3 o'clock whanging one's way furiously around the course, taking a hurried shower and dashing home to a large dinner.

BARRING AUGSBURG IN OLYMPIC GAMES Pittsburg, Pa, Jan, 21.--The statement of Major-General Dous- las McArthur of the United States Olympic Committee, giving reasons why the Augsburg College, Minnea- polis, hockey team could mot rep- resent the United States in the Olympic games, was termed today by W. 8. Haddock, presideat of the Amateur Hockey Association, as "an attempt to pass the buck to me." Haddock, who selected the Augs- burg team, said he was not moti- fied that the Olympic Committee had decided on January 10, not to enter a hockey team in the Olym- pic games, Commenting on McArthur's statementy regarding preliminary tryouts, "Haddock said: "Why should he stress hockey tryouts when mo tryouts were held in any of the other Winter sports events. It's just a weak attempt to defend himself. Augsburg still hopes to 0 to the Olympics and at the pres- ent time is trying to arrange a series of exhibitions in the east, against Detroit and Boston Clubs."

Hundreds of people must have been passing along the boule- vard at that point. This is no dark region. It is as bright as Broadway, On the corner stands a hotel. On anoth- er is a drug store. Its doors and windows open. A few steps beyond it glitters a movie theatre. Yet Hol- lywood Boulevard was made the promenade of a murderer whose apalling deed sickened a continent, ; Vermont is said to have one of he lowest reckless driving records in the country. In Vermont the driver is almost always going up hill. ~Kingston Whig-Standard. vp h y d h 2 y SN Bigger y { and \ Better "2, $3 "4 \ rR QS 307 WHE 3 i 4 7, 4 INCHES (very thar - A \ /4 1 Dad FE ~ Ontaris Moer --- Xin ---------------- er.
