Football is called upon to defend itself against an attack by Uncle sam that exceeds in importance and potential weight any the orusdes heretofore aunched against the favorite Of American colleges The defense must depend largely upon sentiment to repel the assault contained in surgeons sathtics
 Col Town!ey Superintendent Of the Military Academy at West Point is the spokesman for Uncle Sam. Col TOwusley believes it an uuparGoualHe waste Of good war material that embryonic generals should be neT- mitted tO rt the danger Of permanent injury on the football field Ic is satisfied with proposing half way measures like Reforming the rules He wants the game abolished generally. following the example set by Columbia University several years ago
 At West Point the young men have all been selected after thorough physical examination No weddings need apply. And for strength and size and endurgnce the cadets gho play football should be the pick of the lot If the game is too severe for them why should il be suffered to civilian youths2

seu sherbets cooled with the SHOWS of Lebanon
and sweetened drinks favored with lico-
rice and altar of roses. The musical cl1nk or
the two brass bowls which these men carry and
strike constantly together as they walk, Is one
of those characteristic sounds which to one who
has travelled in the orient is inseparable from
every memory of an eastern city.
One strange feature will invariably impress it
self uDon the observant visitor to Rangoon and
Hongkong two of the largest and most splendid
cities of the far east, and that is the fact that
they are practically horseless cities, especially
Hongkong where horses are seldom or never
seen In Rangood horses used for carriage
purposes but are never used for the hauling of
freight and merchandise and in both Rangoon
and Hongkong practically all freight Is nauled
about the streets curious freight carts drawn
by numbers of coolies pulling on ropes. In Ran
coon the carts have two large wheels and the
coolies are always Hindus, for no Burman would
so demean himself or so insult his pride as to
become beast of burden. In Hongkong the
freight vans are low, four-wheeled arrangements
and are drawn by half-naked Chinese coolies
1t is a pitiful thing to see how cheap thing Is
human life in this great city of Hongkong, where
nature has done so much to create an eartnly
paradise.
The streets are so steep to make the use OF
horses quite impossible and as the greater part
of the European population livs on the Peak.
or on the steep streets leading up its sides 1t
seems to be necessary that many thousands of
Chinese coolies should sacrifice their lives In
this heart-breaking work of burden bearing on
these steep mountain roads There are hundreds
of great mansions and beautiful European villas
on the slopes of the Peak" and in building
these homes every brick and stone, every timber
and pound of mortar had to be carried up from
the city on the backs OF Chinese coolies, laboring
for few pitiful pennies day. Every ounce OF
household supplies is brought up in the same
manner on the heads and backs of Chinese cool

work of the bearers in the steep streets Of
Hongkong is so trying that 1t is said a coolie
seldom lives more than five six years after
taking up this work.
The real comfort and ease OF travelling by

unfamiliar with this mode OF travel. very de-
nghtful surprise IL is after the soulracking ex-
periences of camel back and elephant riding In
Africa and India. The reason for this is that the

way tiresome. 1t is strange experience TO rloe
hour after hour through the narrow, beWllderlns'
crowded streets of this most amazing city on
earth, with half-naked chair men streaming Win
perspiration and constantly yelling at the top Oh
their voices for the popuace to clear the way,
for it is a most remarkable thing to see the re-
spect shown to the burden bearer in CHINA. Inc
man with load always has the right or way
and the man with the heaviest load invariably
is given precedence. In this wonderful land OF
China which we have so long been taught to
despise the burden bearer is honored as IN no
other land and labor is exalted IN manner I'M
known to western world.
At Shanghai we upon another strange
and peculiarly Chinese mode of conveyance and
burden bearing-the passenger wheelbarrow.
upon which it is necessary to carry two passen-
gers in order to balance the barrow. These bar
rows are very generally used in the Shanghai
district, both freight carriers and for trans
porting passengers, and 1t is decidedly amusing
sight to see some rich Chinese farmer or coun-
try merchant wonderfully arrayed in silks and
balanced by his wife a huge crate of poultry,
as he rides into the walled city Of Shanghai on
one of these numbering wheelbarrows.
In Ceylon Burma Siam and the Malay states,
and in many parts of China, and throughout all
the islands of Japan the rickshaw is the common
and almost universal means OF travel, yet,
curiously enough the jnrickshaw was the inven-
ton of an American missionary to Japan and
was unknown to the oriental world less than
seventy years ago.

ing thing to see the politeness and consideration
of the sturdy rickshaw men Of Dai Nippon. It
is moreover, politeness born in their souls
never lacking under the most trying circum-
stances Under the rules of their business ETH
quette, rickshaw man may not run past an
other without begging his pardon, and the truth
of this borne upon me very forcibly during
a hurried rickshaw ride across Yokohama one day
when | had only 16 minutes by the watch in
which to catch train for Gotemba- The speed
with which we made that two-mile journey
around Yokohamas famous Bund and through
the Benten-dori to the Tokyo railroad station

seventh Two rickshaws passing rapidly in OPP
poste directions collided mixing up the two We
hicles and throwing of the rickshaw men
to the ground. Again the native Japanese po-
likeness asserted itself Instead of abusing one
another and possibly resorting to blows. the two
little rickshaw men righted themselves, politely
took of their huge mushroom hats bowed most
courteously and begged another's pardon
