Yale and Her Football Coaches.

The recent fruitless effort of NJ E. T.
Rollins of Columbia No, to secure the
services Of Captain Thorne of the Yale
football team rs coach for the Missouri
university team next year is fairly con-
vincing proof that there will be no more
Yale coaching Of outside teams. Accord
ing to Captain Th0rne's sta6sment to Mr.
Rollins, the alumni of Yale have reached
she conclusion that the Yale system should
be retained for the benefit of Yale, and
hereafter the coaching Of outside colleges
by Yale men Will be dise0untananoed. It
would seem, therefore, that Yale is begin
ming to realize that her supremacy on the
gridirOn is threatened to some extent by
the increasing strength of the teams Of
smaller colleges; hence her reserve in the
matter of coaching.

THAT WOODEN ROOF
Joint Resolution Now With the House
Public Buildings Committee.
1t VIII Receive Prompt Attention
Next Week-Exprcssions From
Two COnGressmen.

The Senate joint resolution to stop fur
ther proceedings in the erection Of a wooden
roof to the new government post office
building has been laid before the House
committee on public buildings and grounds.
Chairman Milliken of Maine ia absent from
the city, but Is expected home next Monday,
and 1t is thought the resolution will receive
prompt consideration. The proposition to
put combustible roof upon government
building otherwise supposed to be fireproof
has aroused a great deal of attention among
members Of the House. The appropriations
committee, which has taken charge of the
appropriations for this structure, and which
has provided that it shall be occupied by
number Of government bureaux, Is espe-
cially interested in the matter, and members
of that committee will render Chairman Mil
liken active aid in any efforts that he may
proof
The roof of that building should be fire.
proof beyond question: said Mr.. Sayers
the ranking democratic member of the ap-
propriattors committee, today. Il am not
prepared to say what material should be put
into it, but do maintain that the archi-
tect should be required to make it fireproof
II would be absurd to put an infiamma BILE
roof upon building on which the govern
ment will expend SO much money, and which
is intended to harbor valuable records and
large numbers of employees"
Il have always been Interested in this post
office building" said Mr.. Richardson,
member Of the House District committed
today. "and 1 concur in the idea that it
should be made durable and commodious
structure for the of the United States
If there Is any idea of putting roof on that
building otherwise than fireproof, it should
be abandoned at once, and, If 1t is necessary
legislation to that effect should be enacted
without delay

THE SEED QUESTION,
Secretary Morton Says He Wanted
Prompt Delivery and Good Seed.

Secretary Morton Says He Wanted
Prompt Delivery and Good Seed.
Secretary Morton has sent out over his
ow name, a clear state ment of the contro-
versy made by the Chicago seed concern
that claims it should have had the con-
tract recently let for this years supply of
vegetable seeds.
Today to Star reporter the Secretary
made the following statement in answer to
an inquiry to the former business of
the department with the Northrup, Bras
Ian, Goodwin Co: Altogether since and
including the fiscal year ending June 80
1920, up to and including the fiscal year
1888, $40, 403.55 have been paid to the North
rup, Bras Ian, Goodwin Co. for seed by the
department. This is very much larger
sum than was paid to any other seedsmen
during the same period.
"A committee, composed of highly rep
utable and intelligent men. have now, after
full hearing and careful. consideration Of
all the circumstances, concluded that an
other firm seem tc have better facilities
to assure to the department the best
service, particularly as regards prompt de-
livery and superior quality of seed, and,
moreover, that such assurance was well
worth $1,000 to 100000 people who will
get seed.
That is all there is Of it,
