Mr.. J. W. Morley, who lives on
the corner of Columbus avenue and

flock of White Leghorns, was awak-

a commotion in his fowl house. He
hurried there to ascertain the cause
and discovered a dark looking bird

the intruder and was in turn caught
in tho strong talons Of . mammoth
owl. which held each Of his hands
in q vice-like grip. Wrenching his

IT NA VIOLATION or STATE LAW

The Herald would not for any
confederation prevent the young peo-
pie Of this city from enjoying any
legitimate pleasure. but It feels con-
strained to call attention, once more.
to the fact that children not over
IA or Is years Of age are permitted
to drive automobiles on the streets
Of the city and the roads Of the
county. A young girl, not q day
over IA, was observed very recently
driving one of the large automobiles
on the streets, unaccompanied by an
older person. This is q direct vio-
lation Of the State law. The law
is a wise one and 1t should be OBJ
served. No person who has not ar
rived at the age Of Is years, and
very few at that age, IL competent
to handle safely any automobile on
the crowded streets or elsewhere.
That an an accident has not yet &C.
Cured, resulting from the practice
of permitting children to handle au-
tomobiles, b merely good fortune,
and nothing else. II the practice u
continued, there 10 not the slightest
doubt that . serious accident, in
which lives will be lost, will occur.
When that event transpires. there
will bs plenty Of people to condemn
the practice who now merely wink
at It. When that accident does &C.
cur, the authorities who are charged
with the enforcement Of that and
all other laws will be held morally
responsible for whatever happens.
Now 10 q good time to prevent that
inevitable accident. Her

To Be Strong.

Georgetown is making no boasts a.

NAVY COACHES TO
USE SAME ELEVEN
Team That Battered George
town Will Meet Dickinson
Outfit Tomorrow.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Oct. 1.-THE Naval
Academy will start the same team
against Dickinson tomorrow which sue
ceeded in batteIing its way through
Georgetown last week, but the attempt
will be made to play more open game
and use some of the forward pass
assiduously during the week. The
handlers of the Navy team are some
what stupg by criticisms to the effect
that the team has nothing but the
line-smashing game and it is also
realized that the eleven would be heir
less if confronted with a team that
could stop this style Of play. Reports
from West Point are-to the effect chat
the soldiers are learning a lot Gf
clever football from Charlie Daily, that
master of football strategy, and that
a team will have to be good all along
the line to win from the cadets.
Dickinson has not been able to win
from the midshipmen for a number of
years, but always plays strong de-
fensive game and there are reports
that the team is in good shape thlS
year The coaches feel that it will
be splendid team upon which to try
some of the new plays. They also be-
Iieve that Alexander has the makjngs
of a good end runner and the inter-
ton is 70 have him relieve Leonard
curing a part Of the game. The Navy
kickers are not yet quite up to the
mark and Leonard, Alexander and
Rlodgett have heen given a good deal
of punting during the week, while
Brown and Vaughan have been allowed
to try place kicking for goals.
The Navy team is i'll such good con-
dition and is playing such good foot
bail for this time OF the year that its.
friends are touching wood. Every man
is in condition, not even a substitute or
second squad man being kept from the
field by injuries. and long hard game
could be played now If necessary.
