His Interest in revolvers dates back

Lowe doubts veiy much whether
he will be able to come to the

with the British team If he wants it.
No greater nalf-miler or better

Douglas Lowe. Slim and handsome,

Last night the Owls, fresh from a '

play the Union M. I. A. a "practice"
game, whu'v also would serve to ac
quaint the Owls with the Union floor

The "practice" part of the eime,
however, didn't appeal to the M. I. A.
outfit, and at the end of the second
period the score stood 20 to 20! And
in the overtime period Union scorvd
three points and the Owl none.
So today, by reason of that 23 to
20 defeat, the Owls are again on par
with Helix, which lost a similar amc

Union M. I. A. has gained greatly tu

In Supply Bill
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27 vP) Sec
retary Wilbur said Tuesday that the
house appropriations committee had
cut the Interior department appro
priation bill "below the survival fig
ure." He said he would bring his objec
tion to tiie cut before congress,
probably when the bill reaches the
senate.
"What the committee has done."
he said, "is to tell us to hang our
clothes on a hickory limb but not
go near the water."
The interior department, he said,
cannot render the service expected of
It under the appropriations outlined
by the committee and It "merely
means that we will have the overhead
expexkoe of the various services with
out getting any results." He added:
"In the Interior department thl
government has a great organ tzation
which must move forward. While de
ferments can be made there is no
economy in stalling vitally necessary
