YaIe-Princeton and Princeton-Har-
ward, should serve as warning to
coaches of the three big Eastern col
leges.
They are too conservative. Their
men are woefuIIy weak on attack
against a good eleven, simply because
thew are not allowed to take
chance. Pit them. against teams who
use open-style football and they are
all at sea.
Until the coaches of these three
eIevens loose up their attack, defeats
by smaller elevens, such as that adj
mfnistered to Yale by Colgate, need
cause no surprise. Harvard butted
through Yale for time Saturday,
but there was no diversified attack.
When the Blue solved the plays there
was nothing left to Harvard but
Brickley's toe. It was enough, but
the large student body of the uniVer-
stiles want touchdowns. This was
plainly evidenced Saturday when
Brickley was Kissed every time he
dropped back for a try at goal.
Princeton had one method of at
tack. Harvard and Yale solved it,
and the Tigers were helpless.
Eastern coaches of the larger
eIevens concentrate on defense, and
the results in that department of the
game show they know their business.
But they teach defense against sim
pie offensive plays, knowing their OPP
ponents are working in the same
grooves.
Whta the East needs is progressive
coaching, tutors who can teach intri=
cate plays for scoring purposes.

York Consumers League had twenty
enough to pass it. They tried lengthy
amendments, but friends of the bill voted
them down. Senator Allen of Troy
made an impassioned speech in behalf
of the machine and the factory. He told
what a fine sight the Troy factories
were, and how easy and pleasant the
work in them.
Frances Perkins, standing behind the
rail, was bursting to tell in response
how low the wages were in those beauti-
full factories; how, because of the low
wages, Troy had become a ''woman's
town"
But she did not need to, for a friend
of the measure was there who was en-
powered to speak. Big Tim Sullivan

SOCIETY WOMEN
TO RAISE ANIMALS
FOR WINTER FURS

Special to The Washington Herald.
Edmonton, Alberta, April 13-Several
titled society women Of London and Their
parts of England. attracted by the high
prices paid for black fox pelts, are COM
ing to Edmonton this spring to engage
in fox-breeding In central and northern
Alberta. They are prepared to make
large investments. II the venture is sue
cessful, 1t is likely that women, who
have hitherto devoted their attention TO
prize dogs and horses, will engage in the
new industry.
Eight black fox skins, each valued at
1900, were sold in Edmonton last week
by trappers from the North country.
Fifty-four thousand dollars worth Of sill
yer fox pelts were sold last season.
Factors of the Hudson's Bay, RevilIon
Freres and the Northwest Trading Com
panies, which maintain posts in the North
country report that fur-bearing animals
are plentiful, but there is no indication
that prices for black and silver fox peIts
will be lower.

LECTURE ON PHILOSOPHY.
Dcscartes and Spinoza Discussed by
the Secular League.

Dcscartes and Spinoza Discussed by
the Secular League.
An address on "Descartes and Spinoza"
was delivered by former Representative
E. v. Brookshire before the Secular
League, at its meeting at Pythian Temple
yesterday afternoon, and the subject was
discussed following the address by Pres
ident Hyland c. Kirk, w. HI. Coleman
DR.. j. ]. Shirley. David Eccles. Secretary
John d. Bradley. A. W. Thomas, George
A. Warren, Donald Macpherson, and
others.
Mr.. Brookshire held that upon the es-
sentials of philosophy Descartes and Spi-
noza were in agreement, and he especially
emphasized their work as representatives
and pioneers Of ''the psychological meth
od'' of thought and knowledge as opposed
to ''the theological method" the first
resting solely on the consciousness each
man has Of the operations Of his own
mind" and the second ION authority, an
cient records, traditions, and the voice of
antiquity"
Preceding the address an original poem
on Descartes and Spinoza entitled THE
Seekers" was read by President H. c.
Kirk.
As a prelude. Mrs Orion read a poem
On marriage and divorce.
1t was announced that at its meeting
next Sunday the league would be ad-
dressed by Charles F. Nesbit on "Heresy

McMILLN MAY GET.
POST TO PHILIPPINES
Tennesseean Is Being Considered for
Governor Generalship Of Islands,
Succeeding Cameron Forbes.

1t is understood that President Wilson
is now considering former Gov. Benton
McMillin of Tennessee for the Governor
Generalship of the Philippines to succeed
Cameron Forbes, of Boston, who is now
in this country on leave.
The entire Tennessee delegation in Con-
gress has urged the President and Sec
rotary Of State Bryan to appoint Mr..
McMillin Ambassador to Mexico. Mr..
Bryan is known to have looked upon the
suggestion with favor because of the
high opinion he formed of the Tonnes
seean when they were colleagues upon
the Ways and Means Committee Of the
House.
The President is said to have turned
RECENTLY to Mr.. McMillin as a possibility
for the head of the Philippines govern
ment, for the reason that he believed the
Tennesseean's executive experience in
two terms as Governor had equipped
him for the duties of the insular posi-
ton.
Another man whom the President is
considering for the Governor General
ship Is Joseph E. Davies, of Wisconsin,
who was secretary Of the Democratic
National Committee. The position pays
$e0,0 900 annually.

FLOWER IS NAMED
FOR MISS WILSON
"NeIrose" Bloom Is Deep Pink and q
Feature of New York
Exhibit.

New York, April 1a-Unless Miss
Eleanor Wilson, daughter of the Presi-
dent. sees the new snapdragon which has
been named for her. she may not feel
altogether pleased with this floral tri-
butte from one exhibitor in the Grand
Central Palace Flower Show. The word
snapdragon does not appeal to the fem
mime mind, but the color of this highly
cultivated old-fashioned garden bloom
is delicate and beautiful.
The "Nelrcse" snapdragon was origi-
mated by F. w. Fletcher & Co., of Au-
burndale, Mass The specimen exhibited
by them in the international flower show
won blue ribbon. which is another
reason why Miss Wilson may favor the
new bloom.
Its spikes are large and perfectly
shaped and are tinted a deep rich pink
that is more like a strawberry sundae
than anything else. The shade of pink
is a trif1e deeper than the one introduced
under this name in silk materials, but
the two are as close as art and nature
come.

Miss Frances Perkins, who is to ad-
dress the second annual meeting of the
Consumers League at Rauschers this
afternoon is a picturesque and interest
ing character among the social workers
of the day. Just about a year ago she
gained fame by defeating the opponents
of the measure introduced into the New
York Legislature limiting the working
hours of women to f1fty-four a week.
The story of how this woman, single
handed, got her bill passed in the last
few minutes of the session was told by
lie Roy Scott in a magazine article last
summer. it reads like an exciting chap
ter in novel instead of its being the
experience of woman.
For two sessions Frances Perkins
haunted the capitol at Albany in the
interests of the McManus BILL limiting
the working hours of all females and all
males under eighteen employed in fac
tories to fifty-four a week. Her two
special friends in the Legislature were

roared, the opposition collapsed, and the
bill passed by a wide margin.
Another Victory Won.
Upon the occasion of the consideration
Of another measure Miss Perkins saw de-
feat staring her In the face. There was
one thing only TO be done.
She seized Senator McManus's arm.
Move to reconsider she cried, and
few for the telephone to call the two
Sullivans who had departed in the belief
that they were net needed at the same
time dispatching a page to rush a taxi
to the dock.
BY a miracle she got in connection with
them before the boat left. They came
running back into the Senate chamber
in time to be recorded in the affirmative.
Three minutes before the session closed
the long fight was won, and Frances Per-
kins was not the only person in the room
whose taut nerves were relieved by tears
The Senators crowded around to con-
graduate her.
Weir cried Big Tim, friend Of the
working woman, Miss Perkins, If
wasn't already in favor of woman suf-
frage, the job you've done here would
have won me over-sure,'
Miss Perkins will talk this afternoon
on the general aspects of legislative pro-
lection for working women. The meet
ing will be at 4:45. Admission is free.
