This might be all right for preserving the face of milady with the exception that it is colorless.

Noticeable Things That a man with a big fur coat may be hard up and not look it. That many a complexion isn’t as bad as it is painted. . That it’s just as painful to get your toe stepped on at a $2 ball as at a 75 cent dance.

Moral: In playing the game never expose your hand to your part- ners. The main question is, however, how a girl of modern times kept her hand out of her lover’s sight for any length of time. . . NEW YORK PROPOSES TAX ON COMMERCIAL SPORTS (Continned from Page 1) a milliog and a half dollars last sea- son without having to pay the tax that is assessed on boxing. The coming season promises returns of cqual proportion and as Gover- nor Miller’s hobby seems to be con- servation of public money and in- crease of the treasury funds it seems very logical that baseball will be forced to help carry the taxpayer's burdens. If admission prices for boxing are limited to a $5 top price and a 15 or 20 per cent tax is levied on the re- ceipts in addition to the 10 per cent federal tax, boxing will be voted out just as much as if the Walker bill would be repealed. Bouts could net be staged under those conditions. Racing is also due to come in as a greater contributor to the state cof- fers, it is understood.” RBEV. BENNETT PREACHES AT ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S Rev. (.

H., Feb. 5.—The facts concerning American Rhodes Schol- | ars, their preparation records and careers ‘are contained in an article prepared by “Professor R. W. Burgess | f Brown University, in the Amer- fcan Oxonian, published today. More than 500 Rhodes Scholar: have been appointed from the be-| einning down to the present, of | whom 360 are now living in the United States, 130 are at Oxford, and 19 are living in other countrics. The Rhodes Scholars represent 172 American colleges and universiti 39 institutions have sent as magy as | five or more, while 7 have been rep- | resented! by ten or more Rhodes, eoholars. Of this last group Harv-| ard and Princeton lead with eigh- teen each. Yale hay 13, Brown 11, the University of Idaho and Virginia ten each. V The average age of the Rhmlc:“L scholars at the time they enter Ox-| ford is ;2 years and four months. | Most of” them have taken at least the A. B. degree at an American| university: only 14 per cent have! had less than a full college course, while-19 per cent have had one or more years of graduate or profes- cional wovk. Forty per cent have renrecented their colleges in one or more branches of college athletics.

Senator Townsend of Michigan is ex- pected to offer the bill in Congress. Word from the Canadian side of the river is that the bill will be intro- duced in parliament immediately. As planned, the bridge would cost $28,000,000 and would consist of two decks, one for railway service and . cne for foot and vehicle traffic. The river at this point is one mile wide and the ‘channel thru which ‘the large: lake steamers pass is about 30 feet deep. It has not been decided whether the bridge will be of the draw type or built high enough to allow the steamers to pass below. The present bridge plan was sug- gested early last summer and the ex- pense of construction will be met by large business interests on both sides of the river. The bridge will be op- erated by the two cities. The only means of crossing the river now is by ferries eperated by a private com- pany. liament, preliminary construction work will be commenced with the next year.
