The eastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, charged with selecting and grading field officials ■for athletic contests, elected ComI tnander J. L. Brown of the United States naval academy to succeed Malcolm Farmer of Yale as presiident. Dr. Fred Martel of Brown ' was reelected secretary anil J. M. Swartz was named treasurer.

Both expressed themselves freely and pointedly on football. | Bible said: ] “There is increasing sentiment L among coaches against recruiting land subsidizing — particularly reIcruiting. We feel that athletes , should select a school themselves, , then be given the benefit of the very best coaching.” , | Griffith said: I "1 don't think recruiting and sub- . 1 sidizing have increased during the depression. It seems to me that , the alumni 'recruiting geniuses' of . most colleges have been too busy earning their bread and butter to take time for recruiting.’’ In conjunction with the other meetings, the sportsmanship broth- ( 1 erhood met today to hear an address by Dr. Howard J.

DENIES RIGHT : TO FIX PRICE U. S. Judge Denies Authority Os Congress To Fix Prices Kansas City. Mo., Dec. 27.—(U.R)! —Congress has no authority to tlx . i prices, even in interstate com-, inerce, Judge Merrill E. Otis held , in an opinion filed today in tho' United States district court. He further held that the President has no power to approve NRA codes which include price fixing. , because price fixing destroys fair competition. i The opinion was banded down in a case against the Sutherland Lumber Company, which has headquarters here and offices in Omaha and Oklahoma City. Judge Otis denied an application of the United States district attorney here and counsel for the retail lumber code authority for a temporary injunction to prohibit the lumber company from violating price fixing provisions of the lumber code. | The company operates its yards under a “cash and carry” plan. Robert Sutherland, president, con tends the plan enables him to market lumber more cheaply than oth-' er yards which deliver. Judge Otis in his opinion denying the application, held that the ’ p.dniinistrntnr nf the lumber code

administrator or me lumoer coue exceeded authority set out in the code in fixing prices. The lumber j code, approved by the President. Judge- Otis pointed out. provided only that no retail lumber dealer should sell below actual costs. The national industrial recovery act. Judge Otis said, only expressly authorized the President to approve codes of fair competition. Price fixing under the code, ho held, destroys fair compeition. "Fair competition”, the opinion said, “must still be competition. The adjective does not destroy the noun. Competition is the effort of two or more parties, acting independently to secure the custom of a third party by the offer of the more favorable terms. "To prohibit one of two who are dealing in the same commodity to offer that commodity at a lower price than the other offers it is not to effect fair competition, but is to destroy competition in its very essense.” o LOCOMOTIVE OF CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I thick, scalding clouds. “The finet explosion ripped the I front end of the first car apart, then the boiler came down in the middle of the car and crashed through it. "The steam fairly whistled for a few minutes, then the noise died down and we could hear only the screams of the hurt and the cries of excitement as the mon unloaded and ran forward to try : to help the victims. “There wasn't much to do for a lot of them.

Everybody feels at home. There are pleasant compliments, too, when it’s time to say good-bye. • How does she do it?

An assortment of these on your pantry shelves will reassure you when your friends drop in and will give your invitation—“ Won’t you stay for supner?”—a genuine, cordial quality that cannot be denied.
