4. AND N. HAS
STRONG FOOTBALL TEAM
Many Old stars Back and Quite q
Number Of New Men Are
Showing Up Well.

Inc last ooupt OF q powerful loot
ball team at A and M. College this
season was dispelled early last week
when Bowler and Lambert Joined the
squad. Both of them are at" men
who will I'LL tackle positions. Lam
bert weighs 200 pounds, and in addi-
ton to being tower Of strength in
football, he is a blue-ribbon winner In
held sports. Bowler, an old head on
the gridiron, tips the scales at 226
pounds, and also holds medals won
In field events. The coming Of these
two stars was the occasion Of great
outburst Of enthusiasm on the part OF
the entire cadet corps.
Hard signal practice and lively
scrimmages have been the chief fea-
lures Of the work during the week.
The men returned from the camp at
New Braunfels in good condition for
fast development and Coach Moran as
q result has given them strenuous
workouts. The players appreciate the
fact that 1t means something to make
the team, and they are doing serious,
conscientious work. Training regula-
lions are being strictly observed, both
as to diet and hours of sleep.
Assistant Coach Joe Utay has been
devoting most of his time to the de-
velopment of the new recruits. The
agricultural department of the school
draws many men from farms and
ranches who are fine specimens of
physical manhood, but who have
never played football. 1t takes little
time for them to learn the first princi-
pies of the game. Utay has several
hopefuls whom he expects to develop
into stars.
Two fast teams, either one of which
loks like 1t might win championship
honors. together with about thirty
other promising players, have lined
up on Kyle Field for practice every
afternoon. There is an abundance es-
pecially Of backfleld material. Two
sets of fast, heavy backs will be used
during the season. At present Captain
Bell and Macarthur at halves, Higgin-
botham at full, and Herring at quar-
ter form one set, with Bateman and
Beasley at halves, Vesmirovsky at
full, and Spake at quarter making the
other. Bell, Beasley, Bateman and
vesmirovsky are all stars of former
seasons. Higginbotham did not join
the squad last season, but was the
most brilliant player on any Of the
company teams Macarthur comes
from Alabama, where he played on
academy teams. He is fast and hits
the line like veteran. Herring
played fullback at Allen Academy two
years, and while he is too light for
that position here, his poise, expert
ence and knowledge of the game make
him valuable for the position at quar-.
ter. Kern, who played quarterback in
most of the games last year, has been
working at end, but his experience
makes 1t unnecessary for him to be
used at his usual place at this time
in the season, especially in view of
the fact that just at present ends
skilled in the game are needed. Girls
som, another "T" man, has been used
at fullback and end in practice, and is
fitted by experience and ability for
either position. Montgomery of Mus.

your work." the breathless
mother exclaimed. Now you can
go to school again and We'll get
Jimmie, and Mary, and Jack, and
Jennie, and Henry, and the baby.
Hurry, hurry, We got a new
home and the judge says we can
all be together again."
1t took up all of the car ride
to the orphan asylum to tell Kath-
crime about the mothers pension
and the new home and how nice
it would all be.
With the judges order In her
trembling hand the mother went
into the asylum. The matron
seated her and Katie in room,
saying: 81 guess we will have
little need for orphan asylums IL
mothers get pensions"
Soon little Jack came rushing
into his mothers arms, to be fol-
lowed by Henry, and Jennie, and
Mary. Jimmie came as fast as he
could carry his little baby brother.
How happy they all were!
The children laughed and kissed
and Rugged their mother and
Katherine. The mother wept for
Joy.
ooh, mamma" cried Mary,
can't you take us home? 1t isn't
like home here and nobody here
is like you, mamma! We want
to be with YOU"
1--WE are all going home, to
nice new home, like We had be-
fore papa died, just as soon as
ever you can get your coats and
hats on" answered the mother in
a voice broken by happiness.
EDITORS NOTE-This is a
true story. 1t happened in Illi-
nois. AND-It isn't costing that
state any more to pay that mother
a pension than 1t did to keep her
children in the asylum. But
Washington hasn't any mothers

CHAPTER ".

CHAPTER v.
There wasn't much said that
night in the Haskins' tenement
home. Both Katie and her
mother were too sore hearted to
talk of the rest of the family
the children sent to the orphan
asylum. They just sat and cried,
hopelessly yearning for the alb
sent little ones. And so 1t went,
week after week, until, months
later, a man came to the door one
day.
'Mrs. Haskins," he said, my
name Is Henry Neil. was in the
Juvenile court the day your chill
dren were taken from you. After
wards ] talked with the judge
about your case. He told me that
many such families had to be sep
arated every day. He was sorry,
but he could do nothing.
81 then started an agitation for
law to pension mothers, which
would make It possible for father
less children to be left under the
care of the person best qualified
to care for them-their mother.
Yesterday that law went into
operation; this morning the judge
has awarded you a mothers PEN
sion-not as an act of charity,
but as a compensation society
owes you. The amount is $40,
which is 81 a child per month.
You can now find a better,
cleaner home and then go for
your children. They are yours
and you have now the legal right
as we'll as the moral right, which
you have always had, to keep
them with YOU"
The mother sprang up, inter-
ested, delighted, seeing a new
hope in life.
MY children! Thank God,
will have my babies again! And
she lost little time in finding that
new home for them. Little Katie
was surprised, too, on her mother
walking into the factory. "Quiet
