PENNSY SQUAD
TRIES SIMPLE LIFE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PHILADELPHIA Pa, oct. 2S.-The
Pennsylvania squad went to the country
to-day for two days OF the simple life
before taclIling the Carlisle Indians. Had
the Indians not suffered an unexpected de-
feat by the University Of Pittsburg last
Saturday there would to-day be a big
scare I'm the Red and Blue camp as the
team has not shown appreciable develop
ment this week and rather ragged ar
tlcle Of football is expected on Saturday.
TWO positions on the team have been
definitely settled IN the last two days,
quarterback and right end. Captain Mil
Ter has gone back to the quarter position,
which he filled SO capably last season and
is believed to have permanently displaced
Thayer, Marks, last years center, is
slated for the right extreme and great
things are expected of him.
The team will be without the services Of
tackle Fretz and fullback Hutchinson
Saturday Both could play If necessary.
but trainer Mike Murphy wants to give
them few more days rest from in
juries.

JOHNSON TO
MEET JEFFRIES
Champion Hopes to Sign up
With White Man Before
Close Of Day
by United Press Leased Special wire


NEW YORK. oct. 2s.-Jack john
son. modishly dressed and with
hickory nut diamond cleaning from
his shirt arrived in New York at $50
o'clock this morning from Chicago. The
first declaration he made was that he
intended TO see Jeffries this afternoon
and was hopeful Of arranging arti-
cles for a fight before the day is over.
L viii insist on only one point,
LII Arthur said, "and that is that
there shall be a division Of tile purse,
with both a winners and losers end.
Jeffries can name the percentages"
Johnson was accompanied by George
Little. his manager. who also stated
that his pugilistic charge was anxious
to sign up with Jeffries. I'VE won't
put a thing in the way Of an immed-
late agreement" Little said. III JEFF
fries is as ready as We are il oughn't
to take more than half an hour to
draw up the articles"
A big crowd was at the Grand Cen
tral station to greet the dusky cham
pion, though it was not so large as
that which turned out when Jack re-
turned from Australia There was also
an utter absence of cheering today
The meeting between Johnson and
Jenries will. in all probability, take
place this afternoon at the Hotel Al
bsny. where Jeffries is staying Little
| is also stopping at the Albany and
johnson said it would be perfectly
agreeable to him to have the meeting
there.
johnson seemed surprised when told
that Jeffries had said that johnson
could name his own meeting place.
Did he really say that?" he asked.
Sounds FUNNY doesn't it? But
don't care where we meet. just so the
Injecting amounts to something"
Johnson bore no evidence of his re-
lcent fight with Ketchel, whom he
knocked out in twelve rounds. The
only mark on him was a receding boi
on his right cheek. He said he weigh
ed at present 2O5 pounds and that he
weighed 1913 when he fought Ketchel

A .WORRISOME WEED.

The common name is cnickweed.
The botanical name is Alsine media
in Britton, and Browns illustrated
Flora; but in Gray's Manual it is
Stellaria media. 1t is q pernicious
weed, but so often neglected and
omitted from lists OF troublesome
weeds, probably because OF its small
size and inability to prove very de-
structive to larger cultivated plants.
1t is an annual plant, and in theory
annual plants can be exterminated
in one season by preventing them
from producing crop of seeds by
which to perpetuate themselves.
In the case of this plant, how
ever, the theory is not easily APP
piled, says Country Gentleman, be-
cause Of the peculiar characters Of
the pest. 1t is very hardy, rapid in
its development, tenacious Of life,
persistent, and quite unobtrusive and
harmless in appearance. Late or

SQUIRRELS AND THE AUTO.
Park Pets Approached Car FearIessIy
to Catch the NImbIe Peanut.


An electric auto was rolling easily
along one of the leaf-strewn roadways
in Central Park with young woman
and a rather older man as occupants.
They came to curve in the road and
stopped.
The young woman pursed UP her
lips and-whistled shrilly. So did the
man. The rosiness of the young wo-
mans lips certainly would have at
tracted anything not to mention
squirrels, Of which there were many
in the grass alongside the road. The
two. kept on whistling and chirping,
and eventually two or three of the
squirrels came over to see what it was
all about.
A park squirrel is fearless little
animal, the more so that he knows
whistIing and outstretched hands
mean food. Eventually one a little
more daring than the rest strolled out
on the roadway and stole over to the
machine.
The man leaned down from the high
seat and extended peanut to the
squirrel. Gravely the animal took it
and all of a sudden dashed away. The
other squirrels got the tip and they
lost no time getting in on the distri-
button.
The automobile rolled silently
around the curve, the young woman
steering with one hand and throwing
out peanuts with the other. Eventu-
ally all the peanuts we're gone, and
the squirrels deserted their line Of
march after the car and hurried back
to bury their treasures. The queer
sight of the automobile followed by
the squirrels amused the one or two
watchers.
"Bet if they had to dodge a gasolene
smell to get the peanuts you couldn't
get squirrel within mile Of that
machine" said one Of the park police
men. ever notice those squirrels
have great eye for beauty? They al
ways pick out the pretty girls who do
the whistling. They like to look at
them with their lips all made up as if
for kiss, believe, because they al
ways keep the pretty girls whistling
longest"
Which was compliment the young
woman in the auto didn't hear.-New

SMOKE KILLS CoNlFERs.

One great trouble with the conf
fers is their inability to Withstand
the smoke laden atmosphere OF our
cities. Some, however, as the yew
(Taxus canadensis) The Coloraaoblus
spruce, the Austrian pine (Pinus au-
striaca) and the stone pine Up. non
tana, var. Mughus), will endure the
smoke much better than others.
These two last named ones fit In with
the surroundings of city very we'll
on account Of their dark, dingy green
foliage.
The reason that conifers will not
stand conditions found in cities is
that the stomatag CT breathing pores,
in the leaves become choked, which
prevents them from performing their
functions. This is not the case with
the deciduous trees, because the
leaves will drop off each fall and
new crop appears the following
spring, whereas many Of the conifers
retain the same leaves for tvs OF
three years. Suburban Life.
