CHICAGO, December 14 (P).— Northwestern University yesterday claimed to have enrolled as a stu- dent “America’s oldest co-ed.” She is Mrs. N. O. Freeman, 77, of Batavia, Tll, widow of a Metho- dist minister. Mrs. Freeman, petite, gray-haired and with snapping blue eyes, said she decided to go to college be- cause she did not want to “feed myself and just grow old and fee- Dble.”” She said she enjoyed the as- sociation with the other co-eds, most of them in their early twen- ties, and added that she did not object to seeing married women smoke cigarettes, although she did not recommend smoking for col- lege girls. “My message to other women similarly situated,” she said, “is this: Don't retire; don't grow rusty; don't give up, but maintain your interest in every good thing; and, above all, improve vour mind and add to your knowledge.

ANCHORA( Alaska, December 14— Tobacco chewing reindeer, pos- sessing the stubbornness of a mule and the fighting qualities of Gene Tunney, bid fair to challenge the supremacy of the malamutes in the field of Alaskan transportation. This is the belief of 3. Culver, of the United s Bureau atiqn, who say: imo herd- ers of Broall Pass are finding a ready sale to prospectors of sled-broke rein- deer for draught purposes. The use of dogs entails hauling dog feed to a base of operation and feed- ing the animals during the Summer months when they have no work to perform. It has been found more economical to utilize a pair of reindeer for hauling supplies over the Spring snow crust and then butcher the ani mals for meat at the end of ‘the joi ney. D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1926. 41 Submarines Out of Commission Cost Government $164.000 for Maintenance Navy experts told the House naval commilee yesterday that the Govern- ment is expending $164,000 annually to maintain 41 submarines which are out of commission. Of a total of 124 submarines, Rear Admiral Eberle, chief of naval op- erations, testified that 80 were in con- dition to go into action immediately in case of a national emergency. He considered the annual expenditure for maintenance of ships out of commis- sion justified. Japan is now leading the nations in submarine construction, the admiral sald, and to put the United States on a par with that country would cost $110,000,000. Irom a_standpoint of pational de: suffices to cover a journey of a hun- dred miles with a reindeer team, and the prospector’s grub bill is reduced to the extent of about 160 pounds of reindeer meat. Reindeer are extremely tempera- mental and must be handled with dip- lomacy and discretion, says Culver. “Better call a truce when ‘Reiny’ becomes temperamental,” he advises. “Offer him a chew of the varfous fense he advised that such a sum might better be expended for. the con- struction of cruisers. Representative Britten, Republican, Illinolg, attacked the director of the budget for failure to recommend ap- propriations for three cruisers, whose construction had been authorized by Congress. He said a cabinet member had informed him that Budget Direc- or Lord had brought unfair leverage 0 bear in forcing these appropriations to be cut. COTTON GINNERS DEFIANT.
