There are many indications that the
reform movement in college athletics
has resulted In permanent improvement
Of conditions and was not temporary

stances. The widespread feeling that
too great attention was being paid to
intercollegiate athletic contests and
that too much i'll feeling was engen.
dered led to a decided movement of an.
tagonism to the excess of zeal. In some
cases the pendulum swung far to the
other direction, the contests being en-.

the discussions have been carried on,
one large company of alumni and resi-.
dents favoring the entire withdrawal

ships, and another being equally strong
In support of them. An interview with
the president of Harvard indicates that
football Is to be retained, the evidence
being deemed satisfactory that the game
has been sufficiently modified by the
changes made In 1t on account Of pub
lie criticism of its brutality. In the
West 1t is plain that the day Of the
subsidized athlete is past. 1t Is hardly
likely that there will be observed much
of the fierce contest for high school
boys of the athletic type that prevailed
a few years ago. 1t is clear, too, that
the athletic youth must keep up his
studies If he wishes to compete. The
rules are being rigidly enforced. The
athletes must take the full normal work
of a student, must keep up a satisfac-
tory standing during the period Of com.
petition In football, baseball, or track,
and must also have maintained such
standing for the greater part Of year
on the athletic field. The man who per.
mits his record to be tainted with a sus-
piciOn of professionalism must give UP
any idea of competing IN college con.
tests. Institutions which used to cover
up facts connected with skilled players
now openly bar from their meets"
those who barter their skill for money.
With charges and countercharges
among the schools conspicuous for their
absence a far better feeling has devel-
oped. The natural rivalries of college
life are accompanied by friendly per-
sonal relationships of students and pro-
fessors instead of the strained situa-
lions observed two years ago. The con-
ditions are not ideal as yet, but the
improvement is far greater than could
have been foreseen when the agitation
for reform began.

freedom, the American face can be
found. The German 4Sers, who came
with Carl Schurz, had American faces
when they arrived
Because every continent has it's char
acteristic fauna and fora many scien-
lists have dallied with the theory that
the white race on this continent would
gradually pass into the Indian type.
That the Indian was undoubtedly Of
Asiatic origin and of no great residence
upon this continent has not deferred
them. For we early evolved an Ameri-
can type-that is to say, the American
face. The American face is unmis-
taxable. But this is precisely what
begs the question, what proves too
much.
With the utmost diversity Of color
ing, with a diversity of the component
parts Of our features, we look alike,
black haired and black-eyed, black
haired and blue-eyed, yellOw-haired
and blue-eyed and yellowhaired

is the American habit of thought
that makes the resemblance. 1t is

THE AMERICAN FACE.
Psychological Influences that Tend

Psychological Influences that Tend
to Produce 1t.
The American type is readily recog-
nizable. Every race that lands on this
continent begins to approximate 1t
somewhat by the second generation.
and the observant eye can easily detect
the various types in transitiOn-can
distinguish the second generation,
which has lost some of the European
characteristics, from the third genera
ton, which has usually become fully
Americanized.
Facile, mobile nations, like the Irish
more quickly acquire the American face
than the more obdurate Germans:
while the Jews, with a more distinct
physiognOmy than has any race that
comes to us, possessing very adapt
able mind, afford a curious presenta-
ton of type which, while perhaps re-
tanning the Jewish nose and the Orien-
tai eye, Is none the less American: even
more American at times than persons
Of a like number Of generations re-
moved from a German or Scandinavian
origin. This Jewish phenomenon ex-
plains the whole problem of the Ameri-
can face and tells us that the American
type, as eXemplified by its only insig-
mia, the American face, is not due to
physical, but psychical, causes.
For men of all colorings, all sorts of
figures and even of all sorts Of features.
have what we call the American face
1t Is matter Of psychology, not physi-
ology, writes w. A. Curtis, in the Chi
cagO News. Dr.. Holmes was one of the
first to call attention to the fact that
people who constantly see the same
set of objects grow to look alike. With
us 1t is the common habit Of mind. the
universal republican form Of govern
ment, the thought running in the same
channels in politics and business, the
common freedom, the democracy, that
makes us look alike.
Norwegians, Irishmen, North Ger
mans, South Germans, each of these
nations has not only its similarity Of
expression, but of color, Of shape, of
feature. But with us the third genera
ton Jew with a Jewish nose and the
third-generation Irishman with a long
upper lip are Enthusiastically Americans,

contention by pointing out that among

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inf1amed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is in1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an iniamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

Louise went home at Christmas. The

by Louise's trip to the Yellowstone

brightness dimmed a little.
: Mother, denying her disappointment
even to herself, said that of course it
was natural-was 1t not what they
sent her to college fOr-to learn
things? OF course she could not help
feeling the difrerence-it was the price
that they all must pay. Only she did
not put it exactly that way when Aunt
Martha spoke of the matter. Aunt
Martha interpreted it after her own
fashion-"which means, my dear, that
as usual, I'm the one who's got to
open Louise's eyes"
1t was the next day that a caller
came in. After she left, Louise turned
to her aunt in amaZement.
Aunt Martha, what did you mean
by saying that college made me ner-
vous? I never was better in my life"

pleased with the result. ct looks like

doubtfully, "and yet 1 think there are
some things about it that ought to be

She suggested that the eyes should
have rather more of an upward look,
that the right hand should be a little
less prominent, that the hair should
be made more wavy, and that certain
changes ought to be made in the drap-
cry.
"That would require a great deal of

This Is Family of Giants.

In one respect there is probably no
more remarkable family in New York
State than the Bradleys, the parental
home Of the family being near Rock
Stream, N. Y, says the Rochester Dem
ocrat and Chronicle. The remarkable
feature is the height of the children,
Of whom there are seven, all boys.
The shortest of the boys is feet 1
inch in height and it is said he feels
keenly the humiliation of being so
much shorter than his eldest brother,
who is feet inches. A peculiar
feature is that the stature of the sew
en- boys varies practically an inch, be-
ginning at feet 1 inch and ascending
to 6 feet s inches
Charles, the oldest and tallest of the
seven, has a son IL years old who is
even more worthy in point of size than
his father or uncles. He now tips the
scale at $50 pounds and is feet 8
inches in height, one inch more than
his father.
The father Of these giants is three
inches shorter than his shortest son,
while the mother is but little over
feet in height. She is quite stout now,
but for some time after her marriage
she weighed little more than 100
pounds.
