THE CRACKER PACKERS.
NimbIe Fingered Girls That Work
Like Automatons.


Like Automatons.
I found girls in numbers on the
packing floor, a large, low ceilinged
loft three stories up in the air. In
front of girl packing Gladly fin
gers" stood large truck piled high
with frames bristling like so many
porcupines with long steel spikes or
points. On each point was suspend
ed lady.fnger, chocolate iced. The
girls hands fairly flew between the
frames and the box she was pack
ing. Back and forth as tirelessly
and as automatically as a machine
her fingers travelled, plucking the
cakes, half dozen at time, and
packing them precisely in the box.
Working steadily at this rate she
could pack six fve-pound boxes in
an hour. If she kept up her speed.
never stopping a single second, she
earned Is cents an hour. If her
speed decreased she soon ceased to
earn anything, because she lost her
job.
Fifteen cents an hour would
mean $1.42 in the nine and half
hour day. But no girl in the fac
tory earned that much, because
time had to be sacrificed going after
the cake laden trucks and hustling
the frames off and on the trucks.
Work of this kind was not paid for.
The cracker packers were not
losing any time. The endless chain
Of fiat pans loaded with hot crack
ers descending from above moved
at a smart pace, and the line of
girls standing on either side had to
work at top speed to keep the trays
clear. They grabbed both hands
full of crackers and flashed them
into the big wooden boxes beside
them. They seldom broke crack
er or made a mistake in their me-
thodical progress. The packers
moved their arms, shoulders and
spines continually. 1t must be splen-
did exercise, l reflected, only they
get a good deal of it between 7 in
the morning and 5 at night.
The cracker packing girl attains
a higher speed than the cake pack
ing girl, because she has a pace
maker@the machine. AS fast as
the machine moves she must move.
She earns a cent a dozen, and she
can pack hundred dozen in day.
Here is another significant fact.
The cracker packing girl is younger
than the cake packing girl, because
no girl can keep up with machine
indefinitely. At the end of GER
tain period she loses speed and goes
stale. Then she drifts out of crack
er packing into some other unskill-
ed trade Usually she has to ac-
cept lower wage, since her eff
cheney has declined. By efficiency
one always means speed. = Rheta

Spectacular Game at Yale.

NY INTENSE CLIMAXES
VietOrs Twice PenRliEed When
within Striking Distance of Goal
Orange and Black Loses It's
only Chance to Score.

NEW HAVEN Nov. 13.-Today at Yale
field 5000 spectators witnessed per-
haps the most spectacular exhibition Of
pure foot ball of the up-to-date type
ever seen in a game between the old
rivals, Yale and Princeton. Yale won by
a score of II to 0.
The game had intense climaxes. Yale,
almost at the outset of play, using in
the main its old fashioned pile driver
tactics, took the ball steadily down the
field only to be penalized when within
striking distance Of Princeton's goal.
But the two most interesting crises of
the first half came when a blocked punt
of McCormiok's mounted high behind the
goal posts and after a series of spec
tacular fumbles, settled under a Prince
ton player. scoring a safety for Yale;
and when soon after a second blocked
punt fell also close to the goal post OF
Princeton, who this time lost the ball "a
Lilley. Yales' tackle. and with the goal
kicked, an added six went UP to Yale's
credit on the score board.
The seconds half also had its in.
tense moments. One came when after
an exchange of punts and a forward
pass Yale got within striking distance
Of the Princeton goal and took the bal
over in a series Of plunges.
1t looked like a touchdown and the
Yale bleachers broke loose. only to sub.
side into a pathetic stiffness when the
team was called back for off side play
1t was in this mid-time OF the second
half that Princeton's cheerers were cleo
trified by a series of brilliant runs by
Sparks and II looked for a brief time a,
though the Tiger had caught its second
wind. But a field goal by Coy, and :
few moments after another touchdown
for Yale after a series Of fierce massed
plays. finally chilled Princeton's hope.

Defeat by Missouri, % to 8, Leaves
Title Yet Undecided Between

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-(Special Teie-
g~ram.)-Missouri outclassed and decislvely
defeated Drake unlversity's foot ball eleven
on Rollins field this afternoon, shattering
the Iowans' dreams of Missouri valley
championship honors, by a score of % to 6.
At no time was the Tiger goal threatened
and Drake only scored by a lucky recovery
of a fumbled onside kick from Missourfs
thirty-five yard line.
Purdy and Burcham starred for Drake,
while the work of Deatherage, Bluck and
Alexander featured Missouri's play. Only
straight foot ball was used by either team,
excepting one forward pass by Drake,
which netted twenty yards, Purdy out
punted Hackney, but the Tigers excelled in
returning punts. Missouri used the onsids
kick eight times. five of which were suo-
oessful. The result Of this game leaves the
decision of the Missouri valley title de-
pendent upon the outcome of the Missouri

IOWA IS LAYING FOR KANSAS
Hopes to Retrieve Lost LaureIS by
Victory at Lawrence.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Nov. 1S.-(Special.)-De-
spite the fact that Iowa has made an in
consistent showing in the present foot ball
season the students look for a strong fin
ish when the team plays Kansas at Law
renee on November 20.
Beginning the season with many handi-
caps Coach John Griffith has developed a
team that knows foot ball In the face Of
many handicaps. To start with the Hawk
eyes had the hardest schedule that could
be devised. Not only did the team meet
the best elevens, but it met them at most
inauspicious times from the point of team
development.
Missouri put the Iowans out Of the Mis-
souri, valley running by one point. The
Tigers played subs, but the Hawkeyes were
plainly in a lethargy most OF the contest.
A week later Drake, the coming light in
the new conference. took another wallop
at the Hawkeyes and eliminated them from
state honors.
But the Iowa eleven, possessed of a
knowledge that it is one Of the most pow
erful machines in the middle west for a
part OF every game. is trying to pull to-
gether as It did against Nebraska and
triumph over the Jayhawkers in the final
game OF one of the most a~ggravating
schedules ever played by an Iowa team.
The display Of open play given in the
second half Of the Drake game was as
founding to Iowa foot ball followers.
Mixed with the powerful tackle smashes
OF Captain Gross and FuIlback Murphy
the bewildering formation taught by Coach
Griffith were wonderfully effective. The
spurts I'm the Missouri game. though for
shorter intervals, revealed the latent power
Of the Hawkeye scoring machine.
To instul a fighting spirit that will carry
victory to the low eleven in the closing
act Of a schedule which has been a tragedy
is the ambition Of the coaches. BY putting
Kansas out Of the Missouri valley cham
pionship the Hawkeyes will not only
avenge last years defeat but will help
land the title for a sister institution in
this state-Drake university at Des Moines
providing the Christians win from Mis-
souri, and Ames.

Since the Tarkio game the purple and

The last week scrimmases have been

Of the men have been recovering from in
iuries received in the last game.
Owing to the radical change In the lineup
Il has been necessary to drill the men
hard on signals, and a great deal Of work
is required to fill up the hole left at full
back position by Enfield, who is unable to
play any more on account of an injured
hoped that a strong machine will be
moulded into shape and will be ready to
meet me strong Doane team. So far Belle
vue is undefeated and has an equal chance
for tlnother championship season. Belle

rivals and this year many reports I'VE
been heard about Doane's strong team. Its
strongest opponents have been Nebraska

the strength Of a team. Bellevue will be

Bellevue and Doane played tie games

clinched the Western conference foot ball
championship today by decislvely defeating
Wisconsin by a score Of "a to 6. TIL Min
nesota team played one OF the most brill
liant and successful games ever seen on a
western gridiron. The powerful and varie-
gated attack OF Minnesota proved too much
for Wisconsin at all stages Of the game.
For a short time In the first half Wiscon-
sin held Minnesota and took the lead by
to 5, after Minnesota had scored the
first touchdown. As the game grew older
the Minnesota offense appeared to increase
in power and simply tore the Wisconsin
line TO pieces. In the last ten minutes OF
the game Pickering and Rosenwald each
smashed through the Wisconsin line and
ran seventy-five yards for touchdowns.
Anderson was the bright star for Wis
oonsin, while Mol, Culver and Wilce
played good games.
Minnesota scored a touchdown efter O
tw-enty-two-yard run on an old-fashioned
criss-cross by Stevens, who was laid out.
Wisconsin later made a touchdown and
Mol kicked goal. Score; Minnesota, g.;
Wisconsin, 6.
Atkinson replaced Pettiiohn at quarter
back for Minnesota in the first half. Both
teams played a hard, consistent game and
there was little punting. Score at end OF
first half: Minnesota, IL; Wisconsin. 8.
In the second half Minnesota played a
whirlwind game, making four touchdowns
in the half.
Wisconsin was unable to Withstand the
rushes of Pickering and R~osenwald, who
repeatedly smashed the line Of the oppos-
ing team with telling effect. Pickering
made two long runs in this half, carrying
the bali once for a gain OF seventy-five
yards and a touchdown.
Ostrund replaced Powers at right guard
for Wisconsin and Schain went In for
