The enormous importance of the
quarterback position under the condi-

rations which are being made by the
leading colleges TO strengthen this i'm
portant post. Yale's coaches intend to
put special emphasis on the quarter
back place this fall. They believe Har-
wards famous 4-to-0 victory last sea-
son was chiefly due to quarterback
deficiencies. and they mean to boil
ster up the place. if it is possible
thing to do Pennsylvania coaches

position. although Capt. Miller. of the

Official Washington is chuckling over
the latest bit of diplomatic gossip from
London. The Arglo-German unrest.
the phantom airships which hover over
the channel and the Dreadnought
building race all give point to the
story. Here it is:
The military attache of the German
embassy at London attended per-

drama, "An Englishman's Home

military unprcparedness Of England

shore and the passengers of the ST.
Paul feared that the little boat might
be sunk as the two boats came to-

damage was done to either of the
steamers. The st. Paul which was CT
it's way to St. Louis from St Paul,
had just pulled away from the Dayen-

The st. Paul is so long thai it is some
what awkward to handle in turning
and while it was doing this, the strong
wind from the east blew it against the
Hattie Darling which was below it.
The little boat was unable to get out
of it's way, and they drifted together
and collided. Neither boat was max.

was a gentle one which did no dam

The Shape that Stays!

No good tailor will garb his patron in the clothes
of a clown. Custom styles are always simple.
They are not upholstered like cheap over
stuffed furniture. They are not filled with pads
to take the place of that exquisite labor which
the bench worker puts into cloth to produce
I,ernlanence of form without showing his
method. The good tailor works over every inch
of coat collar and coat and breast lapel 1t
takes thousands and thousands of hidden
stitches to permanentize shape. The men who
can produced such handiwork spend enough
time to do justice to themselves. But once
custom garment is finished it is right-it stays
rght-it looks right, right and has the
same perfect draping during the whole tenure
of its use. Tailoring is a hand craft. 1t can no
more be substituted than the work of the land
scape painter or the creations of the portrait
