FROM OTHER PENS
STILL ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY.

STILL ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY.
Several years ago the tenth centen-
NAL of the sausage was celebrated IN
Germany with feasting and song. A
Wand of such ancient lineage deserved
well of it's earliest home and its most
faithful admirers, and thousands OF
sausage nurtured Teutons greeted the
millennial with gastronomic exuber-
ance tempered by fitting respect
Now, according to an eminent Bel
gian authority, this year OF grace
brings the one hundred and fiftieth
birthday of the sandwich, an assertion
which Indicates that the three-layer
delicacy was a contemporary of Frank
lin and Washington and Jefferson, and
that it antedated American independ-
ence by only years Naturally. an
interested public will wonder why such
a useful and popular com bination
could have been overlooked SO long.
Nor is any clue given to the identity or
the ingenious inventor. Consequently.
we may conclude that the sandwich
was one of those sudden inspirations
that come to a number of minds con-
jointly, and can not be narrowed down
to any individual source
Be that as 1t may, the sandwich is
regarded as a leading factor in the
scheme of human sustenance. It Is
the backbone, as it were, of the quick
lunch purveyor, and the standby of
the hurried eater.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
WOMEN AND THEIR WORK.
Rev. Bernard Vaughan. that prolific
writer on economic conditions in all parts
of the world, has recently turned his at
tention to the condition of women work
ers in the United States. and has come
to the conclusion that we are in bad
way in this country and getting worse.
DR.. Vaughan evidently has not read
his history Alright if he fails to appre-
ciate the fact that the condition of the
working women in America is better than
that of any other country in the world.
There are hardships, of course, and
abuses in this country, in connection with
the employment of women and girls, but
rapid progress is being made in the elm
ination and amelioration of them.
All good citizens regret the existence
of any untoward condition among work
ing women, many resretting that women
should be compelled to work at all in the
gainfuI occupations and this regret is one
of the compelling motives in the progress
of wonan's emancipation from the drudg-
cry of the field and the loom and bake
ovens which is still her lot in too many
of the European countries.
Most of the states in the Union have
laws regulating the hours of employment
for women and for the betterment of the
surroundings in which she works. Ameri
ca is doing more than any other nation to
rescue woman from being a chattel,
slave and a drudge.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

KANSAS CONNENT
EQUA1. oPPoRTUNITY NEEDED.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY NEEDED
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent
of the Chicago schools advocates the
teaching of voeations in the public
schools in order to better fit the children
for the time when they must earn their
own living. The suggestion could be i'm
proved upon by adding that they also
should be taught about the reforms that
are necessary to enable them to have an
equality of opportunity to apply their vo-
cational education after they get 1t. 9th
erwiSe Mrs. Young's idea might not prove
to be such a beautiful unmiXed blessing.
Existing economic conditions make jobs
scarcer than workers. In occupations re-
curing skilled labor this state of affairs
is not as bad as where unskilled labor
is all that is needed. Mrs. Y oungs ideas,
If carried out, will increase the number
of skilled laborers without increasing the
number of jobs open to them Reduction
of wages of skilled workers will be the
inevitable results.
However, that should not render their
idea Objectionable since skilled laborers
as we'll as unskilled have votes and have
only themselves to blame if they will not
use their political power to abolish mo-
nopoly of opportunities. Mrs. Young
plan undoubtedly will be futile unless it
is accompanied by some plan which will
teach children how, when they become
voters, they can do away with the present
IegaHzed political and social evils which
are the cause of unemployment and pow
erty.-AtchisOn Champion.

DOGS AND MEN


The other day three hungry dogs were
grouped about a cat who had found a
bone and was making a determined effort
to get something to eat off it and at the
same time keep her eye on her three tor
mentors. The three dogs, any one of
which was big enough to trounce the cat
looked longingly at the bone and fire.
quently licked their chops and swallowed
hard, but could not muster up courage to
sail in and get the bone Finally one of
them made the effort and secured the
prize, along with a few sharp scratches
and a general wooling. and carried it off
to the side of the road to enjoy it in
peace. The other two, who were not will
ing to pay the price of a few scratches
for good meal sat down a short distance
away and growled to themselves, not un-
like some men who are unwilling to jump
in and work and help a good thing along
or earn their own way in the world be-
cause it requires a few sacrifices and long
weary days and sleepless nights and toll
and worry and perplexities, but who are
quick to find fault and criticize the man
who at the risk of a few blisters and
scratches and gray hairs has gone after
the things that he wanted and has sacri-
feed himself to win.-Hoiton Signal

Several days ago the horse received
the injury which was not thought TO

While coming to Paris Saturday the
horse showed signs of going lame and

Local veterinarians say cases of this
nature are very rare. The animal.
upon which Mr.. Collins put a value of

HATCHET|TES ONLY
ABANDON FOOT BALL
Athletic Committee Will Boom
Other Sports at the Local
College.

The action Of the late athletic council
Of George Washington University at a
meeting held several weeks ago in aban-
versity for the year of 1911 will in no
way affect other branches of athletics.
This was the statement Of Prof
Mumma. formerly president Of the coun-
Gil, in an interview this morning. The
action in disseminating foot ball was, ac-
cording to the authorities Of the univers-
ity, the only logical move in view of the
disastrous season last fall, which cul-
minated in the cancellation Of the most
important games on the schedule and
the disorganization Of the squad shortly
before the close of the season. The fact
that foot ball was to be discontinued was
intimated at the time, as announced in
these columns, the leading members OF
the athletic council having committed
themselves SO strongly as TO assure dras-
tic action at the meeting that was held
later.
The fact that such athletics as have
been encouraged in the past which. after
all, include but q single branch-field and
track-will be continued IS borne out con
clusively in the fact that a committee
composed of members of the faculty of
the university has been appointed Il
look after student interests. This COM
mittee is composed of Prof. Mumma, who
will look after athletics. and MesSrs Reu-
digger and Henning, who will take care
Of other interests
An active campaign will be started in
the near future in an effort to clear the
university of all standing debt, and until
success is attained foot ball will not have
a place on the sport curriculum OF the
university.

AGGIES LOSE FIRST.
Game With New York University
Delayed Until 10 O'Clock.

The basket ball game scheduled for
last Saturday night between the Mary
land Agricultural College and New York
University did not come off until after
10 o'clock, owing to the fact that the
New York bunch did not catch their train
from Annapolis, where they played the
Navy in the afternoon.
When the two teams finally got to
work the Northerners had things all
their own way. The final score showed
them with % points to the Farmers Z.
The score at the end Of the first half
was 10 10 2.
The game. although one-sided. was fast
and furious, lots of rough work predomi-
mating The Aggies were outweished
about fifteen pounds to a man and they
put up good fight against overwhelm-
ing odds. 1t was a case of nOvices play
ing against men with years OF expert
ence. 1t was the first game in which the
Maryland Agricultural College has been
represented by basket bali team since
1905.
Levy and Smith were the stars for the
New York team. while Woodward and

Live News and Interesting Gossip of Sport
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
TAKE UP BOXING
Matches Arranged by Students
With Official Sanction of
Those in Charge.

Boxing is the latest sport to receive the
attention of athletically inclined students
in the Washington high schools.
In spite Of the fact that the sport has
received no official sanction, several ath-
letes at Business High have taken 1T upon
themselves to arrange matches between
individuals, and the bouts that have been
arranged so far have aroused widespread
interest among the students.
Prominent among the many who have
taken an active part is Ricardo Zappone,
member Of the foot ball eleven at Busi-
ness last fall and universally picked by
local authorities as the most aggressive
guard in the high schools. Zappone has
shown as much ability in the new branch
as he did in the gridiron sport, and to
date has claim on the championship at
the school He has floored numerous as
pirants for flstic honors and but a scant
few have withstood his telling blows for
more than q few rounds.
The boys at the school have been scour-
Ing the classes Of late in hope Of finding
worthy opponent for the champ" but
to date their efforts have met with little
success.
Last Friday afternoon excitement was
at q high pitch when a member OF the
foot ball squad, tall of stature and with
steady nerve. challenged Zappone and ex-
pressed himself as, confident that he could
deliver the goods. His def was gladly
accepted and arrangements were soon
under way for a bout to take place at the
close Of the school session.
A goodiy crowd Of sports gathered at
the ringsde In the school gymnasium to
witness what gave promise Of developing
into the star bout OF the season. But.
alas, the aspiring youngster received the
same reception as did his predecessors.
Three rounds was his best bet, and at the
tap Of the bell in the third he was willing
to acknowledge the superiority Of his
opponent.
The latter part Of the present month
the athletes at Business will figure in a
dual meet with the Georgetown Props in
tho latteF's gymnasium. 1t Is a known
fact that the student body at the hilltop
prep school is overlooking with Young
Jack Johnsons and not a few Young
Jeffs. Boxing will have Its place on the
program, and Zappone, along with his bri-
gade Of understudies, will be afforded an
opportunity to match ability with few
worthy outsiders.
