NEW RULES INDICATED.

With the first OF the important games
under the new football rules has come
the complete justification of those who
forced the reform. The argument that
scoring would be rare was fiattened out
by Princeton's "a. Pennsylvania 32, SYRIA
cuse's 3S and Carlisle's So Best OF all
the results worked out was recorded by
the news from the Harvard Williams
game telling the significant fact that mo
time was taken out for injuries during the
entire contest" This is an Improvement
which players and public alike ought to
appreciated.
The ten-yard rule has worked out ex-
actly what was expected of IL. Mass plays
are abandoned except when the team
with the ball is within easy striking dis
tance OF the goal line. More uncertainty
and interest attaches to the kicking game
which is compelled by the requirement of
gain OF 10 yards on three tries.-New
York Press.

THE PLEASURE YOU GET
FROM YOUR DINING ROOM

Unless a dining room be finished In
Gothic style, with massive sideboards to
match, there is no reason for buying
high backed dining room chairs. The pres
ent way of serving by having things pass
ed at the left while the plate Is with
drawn from the right is unhandy enough
for both servant fa,d person at table,
without a high-backed chair To provide
additional chances for trouble. People do
not lean back at formal dinners and low
backed chairs that do not reach the
shoulder are correct.
In the simple home the practice Of l.S-
er chairs may be given to the father ana
mother at table. while If there be an i'm
valid or aged person the stay at table
should be made as comfortable as is pos
sble by the use of cushions and shoulder
rests.
