ROPER FINDS WEAK SPOTS
Tackles and Ends of Princeton
Eleven Give Coaches Worry.

i
Princeton, " J., Oct. 9.-Yesterday's
rather hard game with New York Uni
versitv was welcomed by the Princeton
coaches. It afforded them the first real
opportunity of finding the weak spots in the
Tiger team, and il was very evident that
the discoveries made were not wholly pleas
ing to Roper and his assistants.
The chief weakness was found in the
ends and tackles. This is largely due to
the fact that these places are being filled
by green men. who are as yet unused 70
their positions There is some encourage
meut, however, in the fact that Dunlap
showed up splendidly ~ one end and Sam
White gave promise OF becoming a good
player.
There Is much to be hoped for in Mac
Gregor and Ellsworth at tackles, who have
been unable 70 play on account of sickness,
and when they get IN the game a big differ
enCe should he noticed.
The centre Of the line showed up very
strons, and IN Mccormick, Wilson and
Bluthenthal the Tigers have a steady and
experienced trio. The coaches said to-day
that the coming week would see the squad
put through the hardest practice yet held,
most OF which viii probably be secret
Roper was disappointed IN the interfer-
eHce afforded the runners yesterday. and

ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO
Civic Improvement Must Not Be AL lowed to Become Spas
 modic.

Civic improvement, even in small village or really rural community, should mean more than an annual arousal (we almosC wrote "carousal) of civic life and pride. A live society should be ever on the alert, and ac- complish something each month in the year. The meeting (the directors at least) once or twice month through out the years of their existence Moth ing worthy can be accomplished with out well-directed, zealous cooperation and such civic spirit does not work by annual or semi-annual spasms of awakening; it must be kept alive and fostered by constant activity. Have a decided alma goal toward which you fight, step by step. Do not yield or olse an inch but see to it that all that is gained is we'll preserved and pro tected before taking up a new task. Such well-ordered or programmed society will be constantly adding to it's numbers so that though the tasks multiply as you advance, the up-keep of territory conquered, will be easy through the accretion of a correspond ing membership. Let each of our so- cieties determine to accomplish more and better work during the coming year.

SWISS BRIDES BE HEALTHY
Radical Action Planned by Govern ment of Switzerland in Requir-
 ing Physical Tests.

London.-That vexed question of state medical certificates of the health of brides is now in the region of prac- tical politics In all probability Swiss brides will in future be required to present certificate of health to their bridegrooms, so that if any man mar ries a girl whose health is not good he will have himself to blame.
 Next year, if the rich and influential body called the Swiss Society of Pub lie Utility for Women, which has done much good in Switzerland during the last few years, has its way, all young women, wed or unwed, will be phys ically examined, as are their brothers who enter the Swiss army.
 According to its report for 1910, the society has launched this daring scheme, which is said to be receiving warm support.
 We feel ourselves responsible for the health, the homes and the char acters of our people" the report says in dealing with the suggested measure. It further urges every young woman to undergo the ordeal for the sake of herself, her husband and Switzerland. :"

Trees of French Cities.

One of the chief beauties of the larger French cities, and second only in their edifice and monuments, are the trees The almost interminable vistas of chestnuts and acacias stretching along the broad and well paved avenues as far as the eye can reach, their bending branches almost touching one another in an endless arch of verdure, form not only a de- lightful perspective for the eye, but serve to add beauty to cities already beautiful, and grace and symmetry to whatever might be harsh and forbid ding. This, however, is not the re- suit of natures handiwork alone, for science and art have lent their aid. The planting, as well as the mainte- nance, of the trees in French cities is an item of no little importance in the annual budget prepared by the muni- cipal council, which does not look upon the preservation as of less con sequence than the repairing of the roadways or the lighting of the streets.

 The inaugural meeting of the club was held at Sion college hall, Victoria embankment. The president is L. w. J. Costello, while Sir F. Carruthers Gould is one of the vice-presidents.

MAN OF 60 HAD BEAUTY FAD
Wife Says He "Saomed" His Feet and Drank Cream, Thinking He
 Was Lady Killer.

Chicago.-Mrs. Granville Law, who is suing for divorce, said in court the other day:
 What do you think of a man who kept himself on a baby's diet to pre- serve his complexion, who daily drank a quart of cream that his cheeks might have that soft rich tint and his eyes that youthful lustre he thought so entrancing? What would you say of man over 50 years old who spent two and three hours in the bathroom every day massaging and steaming and rubbing and pinching his neck and his cheeks and smoothing out the wrinkles from his forehead?
 Why, he is the only living mascu- line Trilby. He used to 'Salome' his feet, as he called it, three times week. and as for hosiery, he was cer- tainly the great American sock col lector. No fewer than 75 pairs of half hose of every conceivable hue and texture were strewn around his room.
 My husband was obsessed with the idea that he was a lady killer. I can not say but that he may have had cause so to consider herself, as I am told that he had led II other girls to the altar before I married him."
 "Oh, woman, woman!" cried Law, when asked concerning the allegation of his wife. What can a man say after a woman gets after him like that?"
