The Brown Swiss cattle are ma.
tives of Northeastern Switzerland.
They are supposed to be descendants
from the original wild cattle and
have been used in that locality since
before the records of history.
The country OF Switzerland is
very mountainous, yet has many fer
tile productive valleys and woodlands
which grow grains, hay and root
crops in abundance, besides furnish
ing good grazing. The cattle are
housed and fed during the winter,
but are pastured during the spring at
the foot Of the mountains, then
moved higher up the valleys in the
summer. AS the fall season ap-
breaches they are moved down the
mountains to lower levels. The milk
Is used for cheesenaking in the
summer, but mostly for buttermaking
in the winter.
The Brown Swiss are large, we'll
proportional animals, rather coarse
in bone, inclined to be plump of body
or beefy, yet have very good dairy
type. The COWS average about LOU

Guessing Noses.

Did you ever try to guess whose
nose belonged to who? 1t is very fun
ny. and this is the way to do it: Hang
a cloth in front of a doorway and
place one-half of the boys and girls in
each room. only n of which is light
ed. Cut a V shaped hole in the cloth
and let those in the dark room place
their noses through it. one by one,
while those in the light room guess
whose nose it is. When a right guess
is made the owner Of the nose must
Join the guessers. but should the guess
be wrong the one making it must join
the players. The game ends when all

The Dangerous Golf Ball.

Do not cut open a golf ball. The in
significant golf ball has caused many
serious accidents. Cutting open golf
balls that contain what is incorrectly
called a water core is dangerous.
In most cases this core consists of a
rubber bag filled with various heavy
fluids, such as hydrochloric acid. solu-
ton of zinc chloride, caustic soda and
other dangerous chemicals. Ribbon or
Irvine Is wound round the core by ma
chinery. and in the process the con
tents of the bag are subjected to such
heavy pressure that when a ball
bursts or is cut open the fluid is likely
to fly into the faces Of persons near by
and so disfgure and even blind them.

Boys, here's the chance of your life.
Play polo this summer on roller skates
and be up to the minute in sports.
No doubt all of you were excited over
the recent international polo match
at Meadowbrook, N. Y, and threw
your cap high in the air when u
team licked the British players, but we
didn't lick them hard, for the score,
you remember, was AZ to "A in the
Americans favor. 1t was a peachy
game from u standpoint.
Well, a sport loving New York boy
has organized two teams, who oppose
each other in what he calls "roller
skate polo.",
For the field he uses an old tennis
court. At each end are the goal posts,
t%wenty-four feet apart. Hard rubber
balls of medium size and mallets are
used, the latter in sizes to suit the in
dividual players. Each man Is mount
ed' on ball bearing roller skates.
When the timers give the signal for
the commencement of the game the
teams line up to the opposite sides of a
mark drawn across the field, the ref
cree throws the ball and the match is
on. The object of each team is to drive
the ball between or over the goal posts
defended by the opposing team.
A goal counts one. When a ball
crosses a side line it is out Of bounds
Should a ball cross an end line it is
also out of bounds, and the side de
Tending the goal is entitled to a knock
in, the ball being placed on the line
at the point where it crossed, but in nc
case nearer to the goal posts than ter

Of making. as they should, bona fide
attempt to catch the ball themselves
Along with the other officials the
umpire says whether there has been
any piling up on a man, running INFO
and roughing the fullback, tripping,
tackling a runner out of bounds,
crawling, unsportsmanlike conduct,
abusive language, flying tackles and
unauthorized persons walking along
the side lines.
THE head linesman marks on the
side line the spot on which the
ball was downed after each down.
and has entire charge of the assist
ant linesmen who handle the 10
yard chains. He also assists the ref
cree to keep track of he downs.
The linesman Is sole judge of the
time of the game, and of the time
taken out, and he keeps a record Of
the number of times that each team
takes out time in each half.
He is judge of out of bounds on the
side he occupies, both with reference
to runners carrying the ball and in
the case of forward passes or kick ed
balls going out of bounds. He has
also authority to call offside play.
from the ABOVE one can see how
difficult 1t is to satisfactorily off,
ciate game even in the minor ca
pacity of head linesman. and why it
is that there is so much wrangling in
so many games. One great reason S
that many men who attempt to Off
ciate do not really know the rules.
1t certainly requires a deal of care
full study to get them all down pat"
and not many men are willing to put
in the hard work on them that they
should if they contemplate Official
ing in games.
AS time goes hv we will hope that
there will come to be an ever increas-
ing number of good officials. When
we get them the games will move
along more smoothly and rapidly.

The referee rules on the question

ball goes into play; whether and
when the ball has touched the ground
on being held by player in the case
of any free kick; on an illegal man
carrying the ball forward, and
whether a team has made an illegal
feint to snap the ball. He also marks
the point of all touchdowns and
touchbacks, sees that the ball is laid
on the ground with it's long axis
lengthwise of the field, and is the
only individual who can order time
to be taken out. He also attends to
II that nobody starts" anything be-
fore the ball is snapped.
This splendid individual is also the
sole authority on whether a team is

lifting. pulling or pushing) and as to
whether either team is using inter-
locked interference.
He is the one to say whether the
defensive team made a forward pass
whether legitimate passer was five
yards back when he made 1t, whether
more than one pass was made in the
same scrimmage. and whether the ball

ConCurrently with the referee and

equally competent to call down any

The umpire says whether the line

He judges, with the others, whether
the runner has gone out of bounds.

By j. w. Heis1nan.

TROM first to last of every foot
ball season there is a lot of
wonder and curiosity on the part
of the untutored as to what the diff
ference is between a referee in foot
ball and an umpire.
Time was when it was a perfectly
simple thing to explain the difference
between these two officials and their
duties; but In the last half dozen
years so many new plays and rules
and penalties have crept into the
game that each official is nowadays
burdened with the responsibility of
enforcing three or four times as
many rules and observing more than
twice, as much as he was formerly
called upon to enforce and to observe.
The result has been that the duties
OF these two now overlap in a great
many places, as they are given con-
current jurisdiction over great many
points in the game.
Formerly all one had to do to ex-
plain the distinction between the Of
ficials duties was to say that the
referee was judge of the ball while
the umpire was judge of the players
