%FATALIrfEs.


According to figures sent from Chicago, there have
been ten deaths from football accidents during the sea
rsl now closing, a larger number than last year.
Though the accuracy Of the figures may be questioned
by those who think the number is larger. the facts
which are given show that, the number has not been
less.
A significant feature In connection with the deaths
il that none Of them occurred In what might be called
the big schools. Almost without exception, the teams
on which the men played were small and generally
unframed. Many Of the deaths occurred in villages
where the rudiments Of the game were hardly under
stood.
Advocates Of football have always claimed that It
% not . game in which boys and men could participate
Without the necessary physical preparation. Many
schools require 4 physician's certificate before allow
inS students to play. Training tables, regular hours
and competent instruction are requisites Of modern
football which cannot well be ignored.
The more these precautions are observed, the less
danger there II Of serious accidents. At best it is a
rough game, but that should not act Is a dampener on
the devotion Of its enthusiasts. There is no spirited
recreation which docs not bring its fatalities through
violations Of natural laws However, the attention of
f6oAan experts should be directed toward improving
thssgazns in every possible way, while the school au-
thUI1t1ss should use every means in their power to
prevent students from participating until they are
p~hysicaly able and have conservative guidance.

Crawford. N. j., a teacher In a school met

These parents believed the teacher was In

seems that there Is. an American invasion CT Paris also; On
invasion by American dressmakers. 1t is discussed in the
Ladies Field of London by a writer who seems qualified to
speak. 81 am not an American she sayr. and we believe
her. for she quotes an American lady as saying (f Paris
dressmakers), They can't sew for nuts For shucks
please, madam. not nuts" She has read at great length
why American dressmakers may not hope to succeed in
Paris. but is unconvinced. She says they can succeed.
She has never been to America and knows nothing about
its dressmakers. but she gays she does know a great deal
about American women. and has "seen them over and
over again in clothes made in their own country. which
fitted and suited them, and were far smarter than any
thing one sees here in Paris"

The writer in the Annals observes that the new
law brought out a larger percentage Of the voters
than under the old caucus system, as far as the ma
jority party is concerned, but that members of the
minority party in many instances failed to vote or, II
they did, swore that they intended to vote the ma

Objections are made against the feature of the law
which compels the voter to disclose his party afilia-

printing the tickets on one ballot. but requiring the
