During the third - nals Maffi and Lualdi recommended the candidature of Ratti, and most of the votes that had previously gone te Lafontaine were turned to him. Finally, on the fourteenth ballot, which followed the four daily ballots, Cardinal Ratt! was chosen atmost unanimously. The false report circulated at the time of the election that Cardinal Tacci had been chosen, arose from the fact that he was ill, his paleness being construed by his attendants as due to emotion at his election. Pope Piux XI has been urged to give decisions on several pending mat- ters, but has decided to postpone the settlement of all important questions until after his coronation. It is be- lieved, however, that he will make no change.concerning the next consist- ory, which probebly will meet in April or May.

L. Ingraham, editor of the University of California “Josh” paper “The Pelican,” that “college Women universally desire to be kissed and ‘they expect every man who takes them out to attempt it. A majority of Barnard girls also cried out against the charge. ‘True, a rather negligible minority merely smiled when the matter was called to their attention, refusing to comment either in the affirmative or negative. The male undergraduates, too, were stingy with conversation, but prodigal in knowing smiles. An minority of women students however, registered an em- overpowering phatic “no.” ‘The substance of their hot denial, boiled down,, waz that the college girl saved her kisses— all of them—"for the man who was to be her husband.” “All college girls like to be kissed,” wrote Editor Ingraham, basing his assertion on four years of apparently intensive observation. “Caveman stuff is regarded with high favor, and college girls are disappointed with The mild and meek type of student.” As to the assertion that the col- lege girl kisses only the man she is to marry, he said: ‘Yes, but every man a college girl goes out with is @ prospect.” PRICE FIXING IS GIVEN RAP BY MURDOCK WASHINGTON, Feb: 10.—Price fix- ing by the government, except !n em- ergencies is inadvisable, Victor’ Mur- dock, a member of the federal trade commission, declared today at a hear ing before the house agriculture com- mittee which is considering a bill by Representative Sinclair, Republican, North Dakota, to provide for annual fixing by ® commission of govern- ment officials of maximum ‘prices for certain farm products. “No one can occupy the place I have with the federal trade commis- sion without looking with suspicion on governmental price fixing,” assert- ed Mr. Murdock, adding that such a policy might be the only means of af- fording relief temporarily during emergencies.

This same wool sold last year for 16 cents a pound, the offer made yesterday amounting to an ‘increase of over 100 per cent, and the owners of the pool are hold- ing out for 40 cents a pound with no tags discount. The bid of the American Woolen company is doubly significant in view of the fact that this concern was re- ported to have a large supply of ‘wool on hand and was not expected to be a heavy bidder. The same advices received here to- day state that Utah and Nevada wool sold for 30 cents yesterday. \ NO INTENTION OF IN CABINET, SEC.
