by the University of Virginia, +

and Auburn, the teams to alter
nate as to home grounds, Rich
mond to be regarded as the home
for football purposes Of V. M. L.
Should the Cadets be success
full in making the desired ar
engagements, they will go to
Georgia Tech one year, when
Auburn comes to Richmond, and
the following year the Cadets
will Journey to Auburn, while
Georgia Tech travels north. 1t,
is All ideal arrangement, and
while the Lexington school is
limited i'll the number of days
allowed the teams away from
school, it is thought that the
board of visitors will look with
favor upon the arrangement, and
will. II necessary, extend the
leave.
Football Centre.
Richmond Is rapily coming to be one
OF the greatest football centres in the
country, and that isn't blnrney. The.
DoN-ofiice receipts toll the story I'm
fortunately, 1t seems impossible for
Virginia 10 arrange to play Vanderbilt
and Georgia here, although 1t is adj
mitted that in dollars and cents it,
would be vastly more profitable to play
here than in Charlottesville. So far az
tho local followers OF the game are
concerned they want to welcome eyery
college In the State. The smaller
schools In the Eastern Virginia Inter-
collegiate Association whet the ap-
petites OF those who like the great
game. Incidentally the so-called
smaller colleges manage to put up an.
article of football in many instances
OF better quality than the elevens rated
higher up
But that Is neither hero nor there.
Richmond needs more football games
and the schools of the State need tha
money Richmond will Give for that
Kind of IN attraction. Therefore the
conclusion to be drawn is obvious: IL.
the schools of the State want to re-
plenish their athletic treasures, IL they
want a surplus where a deficit now
grows. they should turn to the capital
In tho meantime wo will wish every
kind OF success TO Virginia Military In
stltute In the latest advance move to
Increase prestige OF the already famous
West Point OF the South" Inci-
dentallyf t might not be amiss to add
that the Southern schools invited to
play here could do no better than to
accept the invitation.
With tho finish of the Army Navy
game the curtain was drawn on the
freakiest football season recorded in
many years. True to the precedent es-
tablished earlier during the playing

may seem something to some: To us,

as good a claim as any other team.
Washington and Lee has claims, and so
has Virginia. But they are claims.
and nothing more. There Is not a

RAILWAY STRIKE
MAY Be AVERTED
Efforts of Judge Knapp Seem
to Have Taken Encourag
ing Turn.

New York. February l3.--The efforts
OF Judge Martin A. Knapp, OF the
United States Commerce Court, to
four Eastern railroads and their $4,000
iiremcn. who have voted to strike un-
less their demands for higher wages
and better working conditions are
granted. appeared to have taken 4 moro
hopeful turn Tonight
Judge Knapp had two conferences
with the executive committee of the
Firemen's brotherhood, and after the
second Tonight he hurriedly departed
for conference with Elisha Lee. chair
man OF the conference committee OF
railroad managers. While Judge
Knacp would not disclose the nature
of tho message he carried to Mr. Lee
1t was presumed to be either an ac-
ceptance OF the managers proposals
or a counter proposition.
After the afternoon conference Prcsi-
dent w. S. Carter. of tho brotherhood
OF Locomotive F'lremen and E:neincmcn
animated that. II mediation failed. ar
DIlTitlon remained before "A strike
would be called. and as it is upon this
method OF arbitration that the svidest
difference between the hremen and
their employers exists this statement
was taken as an indication that the
hremcn had before them a proposal
from the railroads on this point
The conference committee OF railroad
managers issued "a long statement, APP
Darently assuming the truth OF the re-
ports that the iremcn were preparing
TO issue a strike order Tomorrow. but
President Carter scvcr<l times to-day
denied that such action was coutenn-
plated until both sides had failed to
agree upon scheme of arbitration
In this statement the railroad mana
gers again maintain their Willingness
to submit the questions ut issue to
arbitration. and this, with the Init
nation OF President Carter tonight,
is taken as indicating that concessions
are being made by both sides as TO
the number of members who shall serve
on the board OF arbitration.
When Judge Knapp left the firemcn's
conference Tonight he said he would
not return, but that he would go to
his hotel Immediately after seeing Mr..
Lee. This was taken 10 mean that he
would meet the Hremcn tomorrow,
when nc would deliver to them what
ever answer or proposal the railroad
managers had made.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dttion OF the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases
OF serious illness, makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys arc
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot be brought back to
Eealth and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected
or abused in any way serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics. Bright's disease,
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1910 in the State
of New York alone. Therefore, it
behooves us to pay more attention
tant organs.
An ideal herbal compound that
has had remarkable success as a kid
ney remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. the great Kidney, Liver and
Bladder Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation is soon realized. 1t
