MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. II

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Sept. IL
George Capron, famous drop kicker, an
nounced last night that he had re-
signed as captain of the University OF
Minnesota football eleven and that he
would not play this season under any
consideration. Capron admits that he
is ineligible to play, but says it is be-
cause he has a subject to make UP in
his studies at the university and not
because he has ever played professional
football or baseball. Capron denies that
he is a professional and says he never
played baseball in the south.

Mrs. Roosevelt Busiest, Best Liked
Woman in Washington
Does Not Play Bridge, but Is Artist at Piano
and Manages Her Own Household
BY Roberta ". Bradshaw

cordiality with the wives of the men
who constitute the group of presiden-
tial advisers has made her prime IA
vorite in the cabinet circle Conse-
ouently the Tuesday meetings OF the
"boudoir cabinet are charming affairs
well calculated 10 smooth the pathway
OF ofTctai progress
From time to time. also, Mrs. Rose
velt finds a spare afternoon to have
a few friends at luncheon or to invite
a number TO hear some authority talk
on art or some other topic OF the time
and take cup OF tea at the conclu-
sion OF the program
Finally. Mrs Roosevelt is respon-
sibie for discovering the charms Of the
White House gardens and supple
menting her discovery by inviting from
time to time the social and official
world 10 share their springft6e glories
on the occasion of her delightful garden
parties
COMPLEXION LIKE GIRLS
Whether life goes fast or slow the
even tempered. well poised mistress OF
the White House goes her busy way
apparently imperturbed. That she IS
happy in her home. wherever that may
be. is patent 10 the least obseryant.
Her complexion is as fresh as a girls,
her face IS utterly devoid Of any line
-
though she carries a role strenuous
enough 10 throw the average women
into nervous prostration. Mrs. Roose-
Welt shows absolutely no sign of IA
tigue or overstrain
It is an unwritten law of the White
House that nothing shall come be-
tween the family and its peaceful and
serene day TO day life
The discussion OF the children IN the
public prints IS exceedingly distasteful
both 10 the president and Mrs. Roose-
velt, whose desire is TO have their sons
and daughter grow up without tha
self-consclousness which comes from
oyermuch attention. The success
achieved with the younger children
speaks volumes for Mrs. Roosevelt s
common sense.
Miss Ethel. Master Archibald and the
irrepressible Quentin are a trio as far
removed from the -'oumptiousness~ OF
the average boy and girl as one could
well conceive Brimful of health, fond
of fun and interested in everything
that presents itself for consideration
al the moment, the little family grout
are the embodiment Of all that youthful
happiness and unaffected simplicity I'M
plies
Democratic TO a degree, not only Miss
Ethel, who has very pretty dignity
OF manner and bearing, but the two
younger boys display a pronounced IN
diFiduality and temperament without
encroaehing upon the rights and priv
fleges OF those with whom they como
in contact.

with their status. Miss Ethel and her
