George II. Brooke. former star fullback
Of the University OF Pennsylvania team. and

advisory coach al Penn, has been engaged
By The Tribune 20 write a series of articles
on Flow G. plav Football" These articles
viii be OF peculiar interest Just at tins time
because they will be the first trustworthy
published instructions on football under the
ncw rules. Their object Is 10 teach school
bcys and other beginners how to play the
game, and also 10 give the average spectator
a much better and clearer appreciation OF
what is gong on in the grid'ron held.
Cndcr The new rules the game VII be
more open and spectacular, and IT IS TO teach
the scientific intricacies OF what otherwise
n;ght seem nothing but a wild scramble that
these articles are intended. ANY young
American who plans 10 become star on the
gridiron At school and hero al college may
wen read Coach BrOoke's articles, Tor they
will be practical and also entertaining. The
beginner viii be told everything, from tie
first organization OF his team 10 the prepara-
tiou Tor the final match OF the season. The
game viii be taken up play by play. Illus
trations and diagrams VIII be an especial
feature of sllese articles.
The new plays that will be used by the
tacticians this fall will be OF tremendous in

people crossed the Rocky Mountains in the early

seventy-fve years old, of Seattle. has Just co1a-

and he states that he has stood the trip so well
that he now purposes to make a Journey driving

At Collins. Neb., he followed the North Platte
River 10 Payne, Iowa, on the Missouri River,
along precisely the same route he took when
he crossed the plains fifty years ago. He lived
in Iowa in 1852.
The old wagon which he used mary years
ago on his trip West was used partly on this
trip, for he had made new wagon from the
several parts of a number of old CASTOR wag )ns.

Beneath the hind one hung an old pail filed with
tar. Il is impossible TO use grease on one Of
these prairie schOOners without eventually loos-

prevent this The wagon bed was really boat.

other way is 70 have two three men run

One of the most surprising things
about the Declaration of Independence
is that it makes but slight reference
to the subject of taxation. despite the
fact that the first troubles between the
colOniSts and the mother country had
been over the stamp act and mo tax
alton without representation" had be-
come the American rallying cry. JEFF
ferson had no peculiar bias that
would have caused him to make so not
able an omission, but Paine had. He
regarded the taxation issue as trivial
and as being too mercenary to be
worthy of so much attention. These
sentiments are freely expressed III his
writings Liberty and independence
We're the great shibboleths with him,
and these are always the keynotes
sounded in the Declaration. Moreover,
the ideas throughout the document are
those of Paine. His ideas of govern
ment, as embodied in his Common
Sense ideas which We're then consid-
cred peculiar, are found in the Declara-
ton of Independence. His theories as
to equality as to the rights of man and
as to the right of rebellion not only in
this particular instance, but generally,
are all stated in that instrument. Not
only SO. but the methods of expression
are startlingiy like those In his publish
ed works. The style is not the schol-
arly, easy and pleasing one of Jeffer-
son. but the terse, epigrammatic, force
full one of Paine.
The manner of piling up the indict
ments against the king. charge upon
charge. until they became very noun
tain of evidence. is the well known
method of Paine. not that of Jefferson.
The employment of certain words in
peculiar ways, such as decent"
equal" rights" happiness and
many more found in the document, is
significant. for these were stock words
with Paine. and he used them in just
the ways they were used here. The

Celebrations of Bunker Hill day are
often quite elaborate. Sometimes they
are made festival occasions and elabo-

streets. At other times militia and ca
