No "Miracles" . . . just real service the modern view about OIL HEAT No Goop maker of oil burners--KvreEN- Heer or any other--wants people to be- lieve anything but the truth about oil heat. From the very first, oil burners have accomplished exactly what they were de- signed to do: that is, to provide a more satisfactory means of heating homes than coal--and a more economical means than gas. Don't expect good oil heat to cost you less than coal heat--although i will not cost more. . There has been steady progress in oil heat equipment, for years, just as there has been in automobiles or any other mod- ern convenience. > A good oil burner is just a good mechan- ical device--which needs some attention, just as.a good car does. Compared with coal heat, it is very little attention indeed. home this wintes.

No official indoor track schedule was drawn up, but several dual and tri- angular meets among members of the league will be held, according to Fred- erick A. Kahler, chairman of the board of control, who also represented New Trier at the meeting. These meets will be arranged by the coaches of the six league schools. At the close of the season an official indoor track champ- ionship meet will be held, probably at the new Oak Park field house, ac- cording to Mr. Kahler. PLANS SWIM MEETS The swimming activities of the six league schools will consist of a double round robin of dual meets, according to tentative plans of the board of con- trol. Each school will meet every other school in the league twice. The sche- dule will begin about January 16. Mid- week swimming meets will be held in the afternoon for neighbor schools, while the week end dual meets will be for teams that have to travel a con- siderable distance. The complete sche- dule of swimming meets cannot be an- nounced yet on account of conflicts and previous emgagements with schools not members of the league. In connection with the indoor track championship meet at the close of the track season, officials of the league are planning an individual swimming meet to which all of the league schools will send representatives. DISCUSS OTHER SPORTS The baseball and outdoor track sche- dules are expected to come up for dis- cussion at the next meeting of the board of control of the surburban league the first week in December The foot- ball schedule for next fall probably will be decided at that time also. Ten- tative schedules have been mailed to the different schools. At the meeting last week it was.sug- gested that every boy be compelled to take part in some sports activity, a method followed at Oxford. The aver- age records of the six league schools would then be compared at the close of the school year. No definite action was taken on the proposition. Members of the surburban league board of control who attended the meeting were: Frederick A. Kahler, New Trier, chairman: William Wiebe, Morton, secretary: C. M. MacConnell, Evanston: H. G. Pertz, Deerfield: E. I.. O'Brien, Oak Park: and H. E. Carr, Proviso. N. U. Students Rank Hich in Psychological Tests Students at Northwestern university rank far above students of 67 other American universities which gave the same psychological entrance tests to freshmen, Dean Raymond A. Kent, of the college of liberal arts at North- western university, announced this week. "The median score made by 16,554 students in 68 American universities was between 110-119," said Dean Kent. "The median made by Northwestern students was 149.55." All freshmen at Northwestern are required to take a comprehensive in- telligence test before being admitted:
