COMPLAINTS OF NOISES.

A GOOD MANY tenants complain that persons
who live on the floors above them move all
their furniture around and slam it down in the
middle Of the night upon their return home
from the theatre Now. they know very well
that those people are only letting down their
bookcases desks and pianos and taking the
fucks IN their BED sofas. People have to sleep
somewhere, It's true that they might provide
heavy rugs to deaden the sounds when they
convert their living rooms into sleeping apart
ments. but I've noticed this winter that people
in apartments have rage for polished floors
and few rugs.

CHILDREN IN FLATS.

A great howl is generally raised by the pubic
against landlords who will not take as tenants
families who have young children. 1t is notice
able that people who dwell in apartment houses
are conspicuousy absent from among the ranks
OF the howlers. They have had experience.
They know that a constant watch has to be
kept upon children who are learning to write TO
prevent them from adorning all the halls and
doorways with their chirography. Then, too.
there are often ba abies who cry the greater
part of the day and Shrek at all hours of the
night In one house lived two families with
ba bies. bad baby and good one. Distraught
tenants urged the landlord send away the
cause of their sleepless nights and disturbed
days. While he making UP his mind on the
subject one family moved out and others pre-
pared for similar hegfra. The landlord was
bachelor. To him a baby was d baby, so he re-
quested the family with the good baby to take
their infant elsewhere, and now he Is learning
that difference does exist in children, even at
the teething age
Animal pets usually occasion as much trouble
as do children in apartment houses. A certain
fashiona bic apartment hotel in Fifth avenue
dured life a dog kennel until its costly hall
furniture was defaced, the upholstery of it de-
stroyed and carpets and rugs frremediably in
iured by dogs which industriousy sought 10
prepare suitable burial places for bones. when
the hotel proprietors revolted.
Tenants with little dogs poured forth COM
plants about the manner in which big dogs
would howl all day in the absence of their fond
mistresses and half the night, while their
were away at the opera
Although attempts constantly being made
TO attain such result. Great Danes St. Ber-
nards and Scotch collies have not yet been cdu-
Gated to nodulate their voices to meet the ext
gencies of life in apartment hotel. Loud as
were the complaints of owners Of skye terriers
and miniature sDaniels and poodles against the
locking in of great dogs when their owners were
absent, the protests of the dogs were still louder
and made an even greater impression upon the
hotel management. The fiat went forth that
they must go abode where dogs might
howl unrestrained, and irate apartment hotel
clerks were even known to mention the abode
of Cerberus as being a suitable place for them
The reward OF virtue became the portion of th.
management of this house; other tenants left
because they said il made them unhappy to live
in place where dogs were not appreciated

FOOTBALL IN CHICAGO
SUBJECT Of CRUSADE
President of Board of Educa-
ton Has Followers.
"NO GAME FOR GENTLEMEN"

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Opponents of foot
ball are rallying around President
Schneider, of the board of education
and indorsing his statement that
football is not gentleman's game,
but one of toughs."
President Schneider is hearing his
sentiments on football voiced strongly
on all sides, and it is manifest that in
his crusade against the sport he will
have quite an army. Many parents Of
school children will join forces with
the president of the school board,
while many others are strong for the
game and will try to foster it.
Among those who fiockeu to the an
ti-football standard yesterday was A.
B. Nettleton. 5742 Monroe avenue. who
said in letter to President Schneider:
Football is not only unfit, but incur
ably unfit, to be played by students of
any age"

SAD DISAPPOINTMENT TO
FEW HUNDRED RIOTERS.
Much Wanted Ability of the
Irvington Players to Ad-
vance the Ball by Forward
Pass Route Not in Evidence.
(By Tort.)
EARLHAM "a; BUTLER 6.

If the Eariham-Butbr game on
Thanksgiving at Washington park, In
diarnpolis. is to be a drawing card it
is a copper-riveted cinch that the But
lerites will have to present a much
stronger team than they did Saturday
afternoon at Reid Field, when the
Quakers chased the Irvington eleven
all over the lot, tore them up and 9th;
erwise rnaltreated them.
The much touted Butler squad was
a sad disappointment to the few hun
dred root ers who witnessed the mas
sacre and when the Quakers left the
field with a 81 to 6 victory the spec
tators wondered what brand of dope
the sporting scribes of the Indianapo-
lis newspapers had used to figure out
that Earlheam would prove an easy vic
tim to Butler prowess.
1t is true that the Quaker eleven
outweighed the Butler team bat the
much vaunt, I'd ability of the Irvtngton
PLAYERS to advance the ball by the for
ward pass route was not in evidence.
Butler tried this plan of attack the
few times they had the opportunity
but only two or three times did it
prove successful Buffers tissue pa
per line was torn into small strips by
the Quakers. Elarlham also skirted
the Butler ends almost at will and
