PETTY THIEVES STEALING PLANTS FROM RESIDENCES Atténtion has beeen called to the fact that a number of petty thieves, not content with seeing residence property beautified with plants and flowers, have been making raids on house plants during the past few days and nights, Sometime Tues- day night a number of plants were stolen from the Tuller residence:at 503 Irvine avenue, plants, jars a.nd all being taken. BUSINESS NOW, GAINS, SURY ‘Washington, ivia;y: 31 J making steady, progre: folz covery, it was reported today lowing a survey of month 6f April. Building, ° construction and automobile production intréased ap- proximately 30 per cent during April over March, while building increased | to an even greater extent, reports showed. & The most encouraging sign of bet- ter business during April was the hardening of prices, the department said. A few commodities. registered increases and others fell off. The metal idustry is lfolding its own. Chief steel mills operated at a 75.2 capacity in April compared with 68 per cent in March.

Morton, dean of women at Defiance College, would be a strong advocate for the campus marriage. “Any indictions to the public, how- ever, that something beside acedem- ic study is engrossing the minds of the co-eds is bad for the reputation of any-college” she said. On the other hand, Dean Morton declared every year Cupid is shoot- ing his darts more accurately and liberally on the campusee of Amer- ican colleges and universities. She compiled figures taken from a ques- tionanire sent to Deans of Women in American coeducational schools. “The results were startling” she said. “Eastern and Western schools alike, everywhere, young’ mén and fiyoung women are refusing to make % Wharriage await their graduation. ‘\We cannot say-that this is merely YA'‘on year' for campus marriages and. that it' will be different next spring, because the marriages have been increasing ever since the war.” The cause, Dean Morton asserted, is to be found in the growing inde- pendence of the feminine youth of America. “She has learned to fol- low her own decisions in most mat- ters. When the right man comes along she takes him. Her self con- fidence leads her to believe they can make ends meet until the young man is established in his profesion.” The one large drawback to college marriages, Dean Morton said, is that only the most capable girls can maintain a credible class standing while a courtship is. in progress. The courtship, she admitted, is sel- dom allowed . to_suffer, SWAMPED BY :BEMIDJI Locals sm::mng Orgy and Take Second Game by Score of 15 to 3 A large representation of Bemidji baseball fans accompanied the City teamt to Tenstrike Tuesday after- noon for the Memorial Day game and were rewarded by witnessing a bat- ting fest the like of which is seldom seen in any one game. The final score stood at 15 to 3, with. Ten- strike on the short end. It will be a ‘“memorable” day for Tenstrike, as that club put up its best brand of baseball on their home grounds, but could do nothing to stop the swat fest which was indulged in by the Bemidji team. Tenstrike is not blessed with an exceptionally good ball diamond. It resembles greatly the place wher: the stump blowing demonstration took place a short time ago, and the land clearing association might have gone a little farther and set the woods back at least another acre so that the fans could have seen how far some of the hits in Tuesday’s game went. Camp and Frank Phibbs formed the battery for Bemidji, while Ther- ault and Jackson acted in that capac- ity for Tenstrike. Fifty-two men batted against Therault, while only 33 faced Camp. Therault seemed to be pitching as good as he did in the first game of the season here, but he could not stop the Bemidji boys from delivery, ‘'seven of which were made two-baggers. Camp, Bemidji’s new pitcher, per- five hits, and only once during the game did:the “stump blowers” bunch their hits: enough to score, and that was during the third inning right af- ter Bemidji had crossed the pan three times. Tenstrike then brought in three runs, tying the score, and al- lowing the fans to expect a hard- fought game. A protest was raised by Tenstrike on Fat Lucius’ decision on a long hit by Melhouse, which brought in two runs. Tenstrike claimed the hit a foul, but in the judgment of the umpire it was a fair ball. It was, in any event, a needless protest as the balance of the game proved.

The early innings indicated a victory for the visitors, the Bemidji'team com- mitting a-number of errors which allowed Puposky several runs, Af- ter Puposky had scored three runs, the locals evened up the count and the game stood a tie at the opening of the eighth. In Puposky’s half of the eighth, that team brought in two runs, mak- ing the outcome appear decidedly against the locals. However when the locals got started in the last. of the eighth, they brought in three runs, winning the game, Puposky blew up several times, these blow-ups being largely responsible for the Be- midji runs. Clarence Montague started the game on the mound for Bemidji and was later relieved by E. Auger. Percy Riggs performed behind the bat. George Gorman made the longest drive of the game, getting a home run and incidentally Bemidji’s first score. The game was fairly well attended, an admission of 25 cents being charged, The Recreation Billiard Parlors offered a_ carton of cigarettes for the piayer on the Bemidji team making the most hits This was won by Clarence Montague with four hits out of four times to bat. il madiy OPTOMETRISTS UNITE TO BETTER PROFESSION Officers Named' and Directors Elected at Meeting Held in Bemidji Monday The necessity for closer co-opera- tion among the optometrists of Northern Minnesota culminated Mon- day in the forming of the Northern Minnesota Association of Optome- trists.

ENGLAND MIGHT AGAIN ASSUME IRISH CONTROL Winston Churchill Warns That Great (Britain May, Con- sider Treaty as Broken (By United Press) London, May 31.—Threats that the British government may again assume control of Ireland were made today in the house of commons by Winston Churchill. The colonial minister made the statement on Irish affairs to a crowd- ed house. He declared that if Eamonn DeValera and other mem- bers of the Dail Eireann cabinet re- fuséd to. send the prescribed dedi- cation to the crown imposed in the peace treaty establishing a free state |- Great Britain will consider the treaty broken. Michael Collins and Arthur Grif- fith were in the gallery and heard Churchill’s challenge. They held a brief informal conference with Lloyd George early today and then went to the house of commons. “The government, under no cir- cumstances, will deviate from the strict letter,” Churchill continued. He explained that Great Britain was preparing to carry out its part of the contract and that similar adherence to the treaty would be demanded of the Irish, including those of the southern Irish government. If they are not prepared to uphold the treaty, such action would constitute a violation of the pact. P ————] e SERVICES AT ARMORY. Rev.
