Ills complexion will beneither creamy nor swarthy, but in between IIe will look his best in sporty LlveOde and will, not 'lave a lip adornment. The ideal man will be good In all linos of endeavor, from the1710511g. field to the mer° gentle paathnos of bridge and dancing. IIe must be clover enough to get along in life and support these college lassies, who prefer college men with romantic dis- positions. Surprisingly, the. co-ed . wants her man to be popular with other women. In the vote the girls were most definiteon the subject of tall sten and dant hair; In fact, almost unanimous on the subjoot. There is somehope for the man who doesn't play bridge, but they all must dance —and the co-eds probably mean that In more ways than one.

A committee from the Middlesex Comity Council has offered to pay to the city 00 per cent. of the cost or educating county pupils In city schools. however, the city is holding out. for 9216 per cent. of the cost. "Will you ask the city for another meeting to reconsider 'the offer?" Warden Marr was questioned. 1rNo: we have made our best otter," 110 replied, In the past Middlesex has paid only 80..per cent. of the cost of educating its pupils in city secondary schools. However, last year this amountedto about $50,000 while in .1932 it was $53,1117. A number of the County Councilors believe it would be cheaper to build their own high schools or class "A" continuation settee's. This proposal will be considered if the city refuses to accept the offer of 90 per cent. nada by Middlesex, if county schools are built it is 'ilcely one would bo constructed in Broughdale and another south of the city. Some of the eminent= favor the immediate construction of four new schools 1n Middlesex. They would LII be near the city. BANKING COMMITTEE HEAD IS CHOSEN OTTAWA Feb. 27.-1 CP)—n, 13.
