EFFICIENCY IN ALL THINGS
The men's department of physical
training has substitdted a test card
for teh measurement chart. The new
card will give all the results of the
tests of the natural actions of the
body in running, climbing and jump-
ing. It will, include a certificate of
physical efficiency of the students.
Fresinien to Get Tests
All freshmen wlil get the tests,
which will have their measurements
and compartive chart with those of a
normal person of their measurements.
These will be plotted so as to make it
clearer to understand. With this
chart a person may find any deficienc-
ies that he has and so be able to
remedy them.
Efficiency in the tests will depend
both on the distance and accuracy.
The results will give an accurate
knowledge of a man's phsyictl condi-
tion. The medical tests will tell him
of the condition of hlis health. They
will also determine what he will be
able to do in regular life.

These dances have proven success-

been about 15. An inovation has been

The installation of the ventilation,
fans early in the summer has been a
great aid in making the dancing com-,

most of the dances has consisted of a
five-piece, orchestra under the direc-
tion of Earl Ritchey.

New York, Aug. 13.-The feature of
the sugar market has been the decline
in fine granulated, Arbuckle Brothers
announcing a new price of 17 1-2
cents less 2 per cent for cash. Their
last price was 22 cents, This decline
is made possible by the recent sharp
break in raw sugar to a basis of 12
cents cost and freight for Cuba, which
presents a decline of about 10 cents
a pound within the last three or four
months. Porto Ricos have sold at
13.04 c.i.f. and full duty sugars at 11.75
cents c.i.f., and other sugars offering'
on this basis have found no buyers.
Refiners are not disposed to buy
freely of raws when they find it im-
possible to dispose of their daily out-
put of granulated, and they are acting
with caution. The sugar situation'
generally, is in a demoralized condi-
