While the proiougation of the war in
the Far East and the failure OF the arbi-
uauon treaties recently negotiated be-
tween the United states and various
foreign nations have caused deep dis
appointment among friends OF peace
the past year has been slguall1ed by a
number Of events Of far-reaching inn
portauce, all tending to closer and more
friendly International relations In Eu-
rope the negotiation Of hve-year arbi-
tration treaties has gone steadily on
until among twelve leading nations
twenty-one such treaties have been
sigued and three-fourths Of that NUM-
Der ratified These treaties provide for
reference to The Hague court OF ques-

The finding of a human footprint,
said to be 10000 years old, in Penn

that a record in antiquity has been es-
tablished. But this is thing of yes

day will come. the ethnologists say,
when mans age will be found recorded,
not in thousands of years, but millions.
Even now they have traced him back
to pre-glacial days. How to express
that il figures is problem, but, at any
rate, they fix certain happenings in the
glacial period as 100000 years ago
And in those days our forefathers, with
or without their tails, their three eyes
or fewer, were busy in Europe with the

Matters went from bad to worse

1880 the great Shrove Tuesday

perpetuated in the colleges, but even
there it was no sport for weaklings,
as is proved by the fact that as late
as 1875 hacking" or kicking an op-
posing player on the shins, was al
lowed as one Of the finer points. The
Football Association formed in 1873
was the result of the interest in ath-
letics aroused by the volunteer move
ment in England in 1860 and the
Rugby Union was formed in 1871.

dealt with on its own merits. Even if it
should ultimately appear that this law has
worked beneficially in Nebraska 1t would
be safely applied to other regions different
In topography, soil, and climate. No arbi-
trary rule should be followed, but In each
case the area of the homestead should be
necessary to support family upon the
land, either by agriculture, or by grazing If
agriculture is impracticable. Until such
acreage is determined for each locality,
any new general law providing a method
of obtaining title to the public lands

be decidedly unsafe.

The unregenerate of Scotland were
much given to playing football on

the practice of archery on the Sew

Not only was the game itself

Louisiana-Cost However Greater
First War Ship Ever Built by the
Government.
There is great rivalry between the
United States Navy Yard at Brooklyn
and private shipbuilding concern at
Newport News, over the construction
of the two naval war leviathans, Con-
necticut and Louisiana. The Govern
ment is building the Connecticut, and
the shipbuilding company is rushing
toward completion the Louisiana.
The figures given out but a short time
ago by the Navy Department show
that the Connecticut is 91.36 per cent
completed, while her sister ship shows
percentage of completion of 1925.
A comparison shows then that the
GoVemment-buflt boat has a slight
lead, which is all the more gratif ying
to the champions of Government con-
truction when it is considered that
this is the first battleship ever built
in the United States by any other
than private constructors and that It
was predicted that the Government
could not compete with private build
ers. Nevertheless the Government
ship VIII cost the more.
