VERNONIA EAGLE. VERNONIA. OREGON Women in Austria Women are making such rapid inroads into Austrian trades and professions that some men fear in a few years they will lose control of all key positions, as serts a Vienna United Press cor respondent. The women, as might be expected, dominate certain trades like ladies’ tailoring, clerk-, ing and stenography, but the as tounding thing is that 19 per cent of the country’s'pharmacists are women. 8 per cent of the coun-[ try’s doctors, 15.2 per cent of the dentists and 3.1 per cent of the lawyers. One-fourth of Austria’s private instructors, musicians, writers and journalists are women, while even in the field of engineering there are 36 accredited feminine engineers. In the textile indus try 60 to 80 per cent of the work ers are women, while one-third of the total farmers are female. © New York Post.—WNU Service.

Tramp Athletes Are Believed on Wane I make no effort here to unravel the minds of such talented mes- siahs. Yet—stemming from the premise that even though education may not do husky kids any real good it probably won’t seriously damage them—the way is opened for a discussion of more wholesome things. Tramp athletes—young men who prefer to travel from college to col lege, trading upon their athletic WNU—13 52—36 ¡ ability, rather than to sweat at a more gainful occupation—still exist.

Both groups, pawns in the fanatical glorification of victory over defeat which anesthetizes academicians of this land and day. The actions of neither group needing high - pow ered investigation quite so much as the smug skull duggeries of winking college presidents. Do you doubt it? There are N. Y. U. alumni who will take oath that their Alma Mater tilted the scholar ship fund not a whit when Chick Meehan came to the institution ten years ago. The shrewd and earthy Chick, they say, merely regimented the rewards which previously had been spilled in prodigal fashion upon barren soil. Is the picture still out of its ac cepted focus? Then listen to South ern Conference professors lament ing their own ravaged vistas. Last year Dr. Graham, one of the saner college presidents in that section who long had realized that the yen fo,- victory was inseparable from other greed, proposed a plan for keeping this human craving in check. He sought merely to have the number of athletic scholarships limited and awarded in full view. It was sound reasoning that de served a better fate. • • • NOT IN THE BOX SCORE: ROOKLYN fans are indignant be cause Ford Frick refused to at B tend their dinner for Casey Stengel Dec. 5.

Although his purse for boxing Mike Belloise for the world’s feath erweight campionship amounted to $1,000, Dave Crowley, the English challenger, received only three dol lars for himself.

The Foot- ball Rules committee would be silly to alter the present rule governing interference with a forward pass receiver because of squawks heard this season. The truth is that most coaches teach their defense men to interfere, figuring to get away with it under timid officials. So, since esen now the helpless receiver is hopelessly mauled, a milder penalty for the foul merely would pave the way for really serious injuries.
