SPECIAL FEATURES

We call attention TO an interesting
article on page by former contrib
utor on farming Subjects, MIR. S. l..
Clark. Mr.. Clark will be remembered
as the Supt. OF the Berea farm for
several years, and for his advocacy
through The Citizen of crop rotation
and the innoculation of the soil. The
present article emphasizes much that
he has said before and gives the re-
suits of his recent experiences and
study Mr. Clark went from Berea TO
Allegheny College. West Virginia. but
he now has charge of the farms Of
the Ohio Wesleyan University at Della
ware.
Aside from the splendid news fea-
lures of this issue. we call special
attention to page 7 with its articles
on forests. the managing of the lima
bean crop. etc. Another article
worthy OF note is to be found on
page 6. II is entitled Paper Bag
Cooking" Our readers remember
some contributions ON this subject
several months ago.
On the first page will be found
the last OF President Frost's letters
on his recent trip. His views on wo-
mans suffrage will no doubt be
read with interest.
We are sorry not to present new
serial story this week but It Is
really hard to get just what we want.

TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE
Remarkable Experience Of a Business
Man With Breaking Wheels
OF Railway Coach.

Some years ago a we'll known bust
ness man, who was accustomed to
make weekly trips between an east
ern city and Chicago, had the I'M
comfortable experience of having a
wheel break Immediately under his
seat while the train was going at full
speed. It was only by the most for
tunate of leaps that he was able to
escape losing his life. Naturally this
experience made very deep impress
sion upon him.
1t was almost year later that ne
took the same train and. by strange
chance, was assigned the same chair.
During a chat with a friend whom he
had Just met he glanced out OF the
window and recognized the landscape
and the very spot of his narrow es-
cape. He told the friend the story of
the broken wheel. Just as he reached
the climax of his recital. saying: The
cold shivers go down my back at the
bare thought of It. There 1t is again!"
Incredible as 1t may seem. the identi-
cal accident happened on the same
train, almost between the same two
fields adjoining the track. and the

ANXIOUS FOR BIGGER SCORES
Football Men Want TO Change Rules
So Higher Counts Can Be Made
Possibie-Some Suggestions.

Football experts at the college
club, their number including several
Of the Official rulemakers. are pretty
well agreed that some radical changes
In the rules will be necessary before
the next season. The chief clamor for
reform is demand for plays which
will allow more scoring. Possibly this
relief will be found by returning to a
5-yard gain for first down inside the
25-yard line, by increasing the num-
Der of downs allowed to gain 10 yards
to four, or by allowing first down after
q Z instead of 10-yard gain.
Games at Cambridge and Philadel-
phia show the inefiiciency OF the new
rules. The Army-Navy game showed
little football except kicking. Daltons
toe carried the day. Yale and Har-
ward dabbled with all the wrinkles of
the new game. but had to resort to
kicking. This constant punting be-
comes very monotonous to the spec
tator. 1t has entirely changed the
complexion of American football The
punt was originally put into the game
not as feature play, but as a last
resort when the ball could be carried
no further by the players. Under the
present rules the kick is the main
thing and the game becomes kick
ing contest between two men, with
the chance of picking up tumble the
chief reliance for touchdowns scoring.
4 Touchdowns, 1t is pointed out, are
more satisfactory than field goals;
they are what the players and specta-
tors would rather see. They repre-
sent more football skill, more team
skill and more actual football ability.
What Is wanted of the rulemakers
this winter is a game which will not
further increase the risk of injuries,
but which will beget some degree CT
flnality in advancing the ball.
