More testimony. A writer in the Revue Politique Parlementaire of France notes the results of Govern ment ownership of railways in Belgium as bad. Since the State acquired con- trol the cost of administration in every department, heashows, Is higher, while trains are slower and more unpunctual. The operating expenses of the North ern Railway of France absorb 52 per cent. of receipts, but on the Belgian railways operating expenses are 60 per cent, and this, too, in country where population is three times as dense, re- ceipts per mile are much higher and iron is cheaper. Quoting official fig ures, the writer proves that the higher cost of the State owned Belgian rail- way does not mean better service or even higher wages The only people who benefit by the change from private to public ownership, the writer shows, are a number of high officials whose offices and salaries did not previously exist, and members of the Chamber of Deputies.

A Riddle.

Sometimes it's value is great, indeed; We get it for nothing, day after day; It may cost us dearly, and yet we plead With our friends to take 1t, and turn
 away ofttimes with doubts of their wisdom
 who
 Refuse to receive it from us; we scorn To think of its worth when our wants
 are few, And we find it prohtless when we
 mourn. It lifts us high and 1t drags us low; It leads to love and 1t fosters hate; It brings us joy and 1t brings us woe, It leaves men poor and it makes men
 great. We need it most when we think with
 pride
 That of all our needs 1t is least and last For the lack of it many a man has died, For taking it men to their graves
 have passed, A fool may give it and give 1t well, By wise men given it may be bad, And no man living may hope to tell How the gold 1t holds may be always
 had. It may have no worth when its price is
 great,
 Its worth may be great when 1t costs
 no price, Which we learn, alas, when it is too
 late,
 And we carelessly call this thing Ad-
 vice.

"A young man who smokes is a fool" So has just said Chancellor Day, of the Syracuse university. He said that last year nearly a thousand scholarships were given away to needy students, but the number will be cut down to one-half during the present year. Dr. Day then said that young men who can afford to pay for needless luxuries and indulgen- cies, and who can patronize the theater, the poolroom, or other places of amuse- 1nent, can afford to pay for their tui- ton. No help will be given to smokers A young man who smokes is a fool. He ought to take better care of his nerves and present cleaner exhibit of himself. If applicants for scholarships need help they must give up tobacco and theaters. This makes it pretty plain that a young man who wants one of Chancellor Days scholarships and who smokes is a fool.

something soft They then invited him

that he did not play. However they

Another New Wrinkle.
Still another new wrinkle which has

two coaches-Rockwell and Sharpe
both of whom were former Yale bas-
kethall captains. These two men are
to be in charge of the preliminary

basketball has many features which
can be used in football under the new

LIGHT MEN TO THE FRONT.
New Rules Give Small Men Better
Chance Than Ever.

Those colleges which have already
started football work have given true
line on some of the new wrinkles
which are to be tried in football this
year. For some reason most of the
coachers seem to think that their
chief salvation is to lie in the forward
pass, even more than the kicking
game. Just what will be accomplished
by the forward pass is hard to pro-
phesy. 1t has been the one hobby of
John c.. Bell the district attorney of
Philadelphia, and the representative of
the University of Pennsylvania on the
rules committee for years. The same
man brought out the play by which
the quarterback runs the ball on the
first pass and he thinks the forward
pass will be even more revolutionary.
The forward pass is being taken up
with rush. In those colleges which
have already begun work the candid
ates have been obliged to perfect
themselves in the sure handling of the
ball, and especially in handling long
passes, which are certain to be fea
ture this fall What this passing game
| is capable of accomplishing was indi-
Gated in a measure by the success of
| the Pennsylvania team a year ago in
using a play in which the long pass
was a double one. But even with this
Handicap the play seldom failed to be
a big ground gamer, and with the for
ward pass now legalized the Quakers
and others as well are certain to make
it a great ground gamer. 1t will also be
remembered that Pennsylvania lost at
L Inp CT 1cf Har nd
a year ago, and several long runs in
other games, simply because Quarter
back Stevenson was decided to have
| used the forward pass in some daz-
zling flights. This is mentioned to
| show what ground gamer the for
ward pass can be made If properly
used. The forward pass can also be
utilized to pull off great many trick
plays which would never have been
thought of in previous years. There
will be great variety of crisis
crosses, double passes, delayed passes
and other fakes that were not pos
sible or feasible under the old rules.
| Ground Gamers.
| The new rules will be responsible
| for some unusual scenes on the grid
Iiron this fall. Unless the writer misses
| his guess, some of the men who were
the great ground gamers a year ago
will be unable to make the teams at
all this fall. This will be particularly
| true of the heavy line men, who in the
past have been used as battering
rams in all sorts of mass formations.
/ Under the new rules there must all
ways be six men on the line of scrim-
mage. Furthermore, the FIVE center
men must always be there, with the
provision that If one of the center men
is brought back he must take his posi-
at least five yards back of the line of
