the Judge.
George confessed that he had.
"And. Mary, what did you do?"
asked the Judge. turning to the little
girl. -
II ruined after him, and chased
him, but l couldn't ketch him." George
was feet kid, you observe.
What did you do with the money!"
asked the Judge.
George hung his head, smiled slight
ly. and replied: 81 spent it for candy"
Next to George, in the court room,
stands his father, Lithuanian who
cannot speak English. For this pur-
pose an Interpreter is at hand.
Georges mother is dead, father and
son board at little one-horse house,
but 1t is vacation time, and while the
father works and earns a paltry
amount at the stock yards, George
roams the neighborhood and worries
the citizens and the police. Vacation
and leisure often hurt kids morals.
Here the Interpreter tells the father
that the Judge decides George shall
90 into the country; that the father
must pay the farmer 50 week for
the boys board. Money Is always a
thumbscrew to lax fathers, and they
vince under the decision, but in this
instance the father first pays back the
dollar George pilfered. and then
agrees to pay the board demanded.
AS the boy trots off. the judge makes
the suggestion that the boy has not
been kept as clean as he ought. and
suggests that the kids ears need q
bath.
Many such parents cannot furnish
the board money, and even when
they promise to do so circumstances
cause them to default. Here the
Big Brother and Big Sister league
steps in and helps. 1t has salaried
man to escort George to a proper
farm, to see that the board is paid,
that George has the necessary cloth
ing, and that he is brought back
when school begins. When there are
no parents. or they are too poor to
assume these expenses. the league
shoulders the burden.

1t Is work such as this the Big
Brother and Big Sister league of Chi
cago is doing, as part of the Illinois
Childrens Home and Aid society, and
under the direction of the juvenile
court.
The work was started In Chicago
in July, 1909, by Mr.. e. r. Colby Mr..
Colby would rather find a good home
for child than to race about the
country in an automobile, and he has
given up splendid business chances
for this phase of social work. During
the past year 200 children have been
looked after, and the avenues for use
fulness are ever widening.
There have long been open doors
for little fatherless and motherless
children, there have long been cor.
rective institutions (Which have not
always corrected), but there has been
an intermediate class of Boys and
girls which has been lost sight Of.
This class has Of recent years been
discovered In large cities, and 1t is
this intermediate class Of boys and
girls that the Big Brothers and Big
Sisters are trying to help over the
roughnesses of life.
AS may be fancied, work of this
kind in metropolitan city grows by
leaps and bounds, and method OF
work must be thought out and worked
out as facts develop. Good homes
must be at hand to supply the mani.
fold necessities, big and little.

the Children's Home and Aid Society
OF Illinois has for dozen years main-
tanned its existence.

Description of the Insect.


The larva. 1t Is the larva of the
cabbage maggot that proves injurious
and it is this stage that is best known
to the grower. This larva is a foot
less grub or maggot (see fig. 1b),
waxy white or yellowish in color. The
body is cylindrical, ending bluntly
behind and tapering toward the ce-
phalic end. When full grown it meas
ures about .32 Of an inch.
The Pupa. The pupal or resting
stage of the cabbage maggot is passed
in the soil about an infested plant.
This consists of small brown case
some 2 of an inch in length (see
fig. 1c), elliptical ovate in form.
The Adult. The adult insect emerg-
Ing from this pupal case varies con-
siderably from the maggot which de-

sibly not SO disastrous, is no less un-
pleasant and the frequent inquiries
received concerning this pest make it
apparent that satisfactory remedy
is much to be desired.
Its Occurrence. The cabbage root
maggot was introduced into this coun.
try from Europe early in the nine
teenth century. 1t is now a common
pest throughout the United States and
Canada, wherever its host plants are
grown.
Plants Attacked. In addition to the
cabbage and radish, this insect feeds
upon the turnip, cauliflower, kale,
rape and variety of closely allied
crucifericae. 1t is also found abund-
ant about the roots of the wild radish
and mustard.

Are Disguised with Present
Football Rules.
CLAIM THAT RoUGHNEss EXISTS
Sanford, of Yalej HauEhtOn, of
Harvard, and Rohrer, of Prince
ton, Express Decided Views on
New GridirOn Code and Old Game
May Be Adopted Again.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 26. - Head
Coaches Percy D. Haughton, of Harvard,
and William w Rohrer, of Princeton,
with Yale's famous line coach, G. Foster
Sanford, are disgusted with the existing
football rules. Coach Sanford stated to-
day:
Personally, 1 advocate a committee on
rules, not to exceed five men, who owe
no pecuniary allegiance to any univer-
sity 1 believe that the great game of
football is big enough and strong enough
to stand upon it's own bottom. The rules
committee talks of having eliminated
unnecessary roughness and all that sort
Of thing.
The game to-day is as rough as ever,
with the chances for severe injury much
sincerely hope the matter will receive
speedy and adequate attention"
Coach Haughton has this to say: Col
lege professors and an uneducated foot
ball public demanded a revision Of the
rules. and football got its most serious
setback. I prefer the old game. This
new game isn't logical. 1t is, however,
better than no game at ALL
Head Coach w. W. Rohrer, of Prince
ton, said: Harvard and Yale would be
rated stronger under the old rules than
Princeton, but such is not the case with
the new ones. Victories must be the re-
suit of the other teams misplays. A
strong offense is no longer the best de-
fense, and rather the defensive team Is
IN as good position to-score as the Of
fenSiye team"

Bring Full Team Over and Puts
Up Poor Exhibition of Football.

The Vigilant football team, three times
Independent champions of the District,
handed the Baltimore Cross Country Club
a good beating yesterday at Capital City
Park before d large crowd, A to 0.
The Baltimore aggregation failed to
bring a full team over and had to use
two of the Hall Stars in the game. The
Cross Country team never had a chance
with the crack local aggregation. the
only question being how large the score
would be. The Baltimore team came
here with a big reputation. but they
failed to live up to It. and the Vigilants
walked through them with ease.
1t is an assured fact that the all-star
scholastic eleven that will face the Vigi-
lants Thanksgiving morning will prove to
be a tough proposition for the fast team
from Southeast. and that the Nigilants
will know that they have been in real
football game is the opinion of many.
Walter Parker, the speedy quarter back
of the fast Eastern High team last year,
will be seen in quarter for the high
school team, while Stack, the great Cen
trail center. will most likely be seen in
center. Gripp. of the Central team OF
three years ago: Howell, of the old Busi-
ness aggregation, and Sinclair, of the
crack Tech team last year, are just a few
of the oid-time stars who will be in the
AlI-Star's lineup which the pick of this
years teams will play.
Yesterdays game was little more than
practice for the Vigilants, as the Balti-
more aggregation never had a look-in.
Geibel. Oliveri, LuScombe, and, in fact,
tre entire Nigilant squad, did good work.

YALE HAS BANNER

Football Receipts Total Close
to $4,000.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 26.-Every
member of the Yale eleven, including
Bomeister, whose shoulder was dislocated
in yesterdays game, reached home to-
night Bomeister carried his arm In
sling, but said he was able to attend
the banquet at which the eleven dis
banded last night Capt. Howe said that
the election of next years captain would
not be held until~after Thanksgiving re-
cess. Camp, Spalding, PhiIbin, and
Bomeister have about even chances as
candidates.
The opinion prevails among Yale play
ers, coaches and athletic officials that
the playing rules must be changed if
public interest in the game is to be re-
tanned. Scoreless games will not continue
to attract crowds to Yale-Harvard game,
according to views held at Yale.
With yesterdays game Yale closed the
richest financial and the poorest athletic
year since modern intercollegiate athletics
began. Yale won only a single victory
in the four major sports over Harvard,
her best showing in any being in foot
ball, in which she tied the Crimson, and
in track athletics, in watch she was vic-'
toriOus in the dual meet.
For Nthe first time in Yale history.
Princeton defeated her in all four of the
major sports.
Yesterday closed the banner financial
year in football Yale's receipts will
probably come close to SSO,Oc0. From the
Harvard game Yale's share will be about
$50 900, from the Princeton contest about
$4,000. from the Brown game about 5000.
and the minor games about 5000.
