TARIFFS AND NOSES: — Suppose everyone should get the desire for a longer nose, believing a big nose to be the badge of success and power Not such a wild idea; a good many prominent figures in history have had big noses. And suppose, further', that shortnosed people would have surgeons graft pieces of toes or thumbs on the' ends of their noses —an operation. that is not impossible. If this plan were universally fob* lowed no one would have a large I nose, for noses are large not so much 1 by length or breadth as they are by ■ comparison with other noses. So if ■ everybody did it, hanging your toe on | the end of your nose would be a bit of personal vanity that would give' you no advantage. Foolish idea, isn't it? But no more, foolish than the apparent ideas of our' tariff makers set forth in another cplumn. We started out originally to have a tariff for farmers. Politi' ians discovered the plight of a few groups of farmers and suggested a tariff. And now nearly everyone wants a tariff. For practically every schedule ■which protects a raw product manufacturers demand protection onjhoi manufactured articles. In the end

Eight big teams survived in each regional tourney and these teams played the following week at Indianapolis in a series of games witnessed by the largest crowd that ever saw basket ball games in the United States. Franklin high school won the championship when it defeat*!! in the final game, although Rochester gave Franklin a much harder battle the night, before. This season when the state championships are fought out in March, it is expected that about 600 high school teams will take part. This will set a new worlds record for the number of teams entered in a championship tourney. In college basketball the two Indiana universities that are members of the Big Ten conference ranked high. Purdue was rated as one of the teams that had a real claim to the conference championship. Purdue divided honors with Wisconsin and Michigan Indiana also ranked high in the conference. The basketball teams of Wabash and DePauw were really stronger than those of the conference college fives. Notre Dame and Butler also had good teams.
