Stanford Proposes Elimination of
Objectionable Features
By Associated Press.


BERKELEY, Cal, Dec. 4.-The aca-
demic council of the University of Cal
ifornia has taken into it's own hands
the matter of revising the game of
football on the Pacific coast so that
the Objectionable features to the sport
as now played may be eliminated.
Stanford university is cooperating
in the movement and the authorities
of the two universities will act in en-
tire independence of the national COM
mlttee on football rules
The subject has been left in the
hands of the athletic committee of the
two universities with instructions to re-
port on the present status of the game
and make any changes in the rules
that they see fit. This decided stand
on the part of the two great coast uni
Versities, it is believed, will save the
game in the west.
All the smaller universities of the
coast will be asked to bind themselves
by the recommendations of the COM
mittee.

TURNED A soMERsAULT IN THEAIR

bucking and at the psychological mo. ment when his riders head is bent for. ward to overcome the rebound from the buck up goes Billys head like cannon ball, and crack goes the riders jaw It is simple, quick and effective. one application being enough. It is all done with little twist of the neck. But that is merely personal history and does moi touch the Ghost river story.
 Billy, after many vicissitudes of for. tune. became the property of young chap from Toronto. who was setting up a ranch on the Bow river. not many miles from Calgary. Firing of bachelor life and finding lady of the same mind the day was fixed for the twain to end the lonesomeness of it all. And this Is where Billy shone
 Now the Ghost runs south into the Bow river about 40 miles west of Calgary. It has steep banks, and a rushing currents The water being so clear looks about knee deep, but it is in reality many times deeper. Well. the Ghost Is the Hellespont separating the home of this latter-day hero and her Leander. The rancher lived on the east, the ranchess on the west.
 On the day set, the rancher in his best store clothes, shoes blackened, and with a new Mexican saddle. came down to the edge of the Ghost on Billy's back But there the broncho paused
 Come, Billy, we must get across. i" the horseman coaxed. But Billy didn't see it that way.

RAMANATHAN's MISSION.
Solicitor General of CeyIon Not Here
 to Make ProseIytee.

hEf8
 to Make Proselytes.
 P. Ramanathan, solicitor general of Ceyion, has been widely quoted in the newspapers as having come to this country for the purpose of bringing about unifcation of religions, says the New York Times. As Hindoo he declares that proselytizing is foreign to his mission, while this specific in tention he disclairns, pointing out that the parliament of religions that had this in view failed in it's endeavor.
 Since all religions at bottom teach love and light as the means to reach God he said in recent interview, lone religionist should not tear the hair of another or be too proud of his own beliefs, but should rather practice a thoroughly sincere tolerance. As for unity of belief, that is impossible. What wonder that the parliament of religions consisting of an army of speakers from every part of the world, each holding his own theories, was in- effective, when we know that the 400 bishops who assembled at Nicea under the orders of an emperor to harmonize the one creed of Christianity some three centuries after Christ failed to pro- duce harmony that was effective up- on the votaries of that religion
 My purpose in coming to this coun- try is simply to answer the invitations of certain kind friends and learned so- cieties here, not to make proselytes. These friends and societies have ex- pressed desire to hear from me on the great problems of civilization, and after I have been with them for few months expect to return to my home in Ceylon after a visit to China and Japan. I do not expect to give lec- lures while in New York, as I am averse to that form of teaching"
 On Ramanathan's return to Cey- Ion he expects to devote himself to educational efforts whose aim will be the preserving of the national life of India that is threatened seriously, he believes, by the influx of the ma. terialism and sensualism of the west To this end he expects to open col lege for the higher education of the youth of his own land.

LANGUAGE OF CoLoRs.
Black Indicates Hatred and Red
 Anger, Says Mrs. Besant.


 The language of colors as interpret ed by Mrs. Annie Besant, the theos- ophist, is the latest fad to interest London women, says the Philadelphia Press. According to Mrs. Besant, thoughts can be seen in colors, and those she calls by the rather abstruse name of thought forms" She has en- bodied her ideas of this thought color language in a book which the Theo- sophical society has just printed. Here are some of these thought forms:'
 Black, says Mrs. Besant, means ha- tired and malice. Red of all shades, from lurid brick red to richest scarlet, indicates anger.
 If you have clear brown thought you may be quite certain that avarice is your strong point or your besetting sin, but if your thoughts show hard, dull brown gray it simply means self ishness-a color which is painfully common"
 Deep, heavy gray signifies depres- sion, while livid pale gray is asso- ciated with fear. Gray green is a sig nal of deceit, and brownish green, hecked with points and dashes of scar let, betokens jealousy.
 Green seems always to indicate adaptability, but mingled with selfish ness 1t becomes deceit. Affection ex- presses itself in all shades of crimson and rose.
 Deep orange imports pride or ambi- ton, and the various shades of yellow ienote intellect. and dull yellow implies that such intellect is being devoted to selfish purposes.
 The different shades of blue indicate religious feeling, from the dark brown blue of selfish devotion or the pallid gray blue of fetich worship tinged with fear up to the rich deep clear color of heartfelt adoration and the beautiful pale azure of that highest form which implies self renunciation and union with the divine"
