take in the use OF accurate English is
to begin letter OF thanks, al want to

using that silly phrase say to my

am not too lazy begin the letter over
again by writing simply, 81 thank

The displacement Of the negative
or other verb modfier Is most cem'
mon inaccuracy. Also the wrong use
of can and may. or course no one
fails to understand when you say. "Can

Since a recent court action revealed
the fact that a certain London woman
milliner has been receiving a salary
Of $4,000 a year. considered a very
large income for a woman worker IN
this country. the heads Of various nil
linery firms in the West End have
been busy explaining that such sala-
r!es are very exceptional in the trade.
Nunberless women attracted by TIC
high pay, brought forward their quail
Hcations to draw $50 week for de-.
signing hats, but the milIlners said
categorically they had no room for
them.
This $4,000 a year creator Of becom
Ing headgear Is adept in the designing
of new shapes and in the blending OF,
soft materials OF exquisite colorlng.
She and her colleagues never take a
needle into their hands, leaving the
actual work to lower paid assistants,
They are born artists in their line. ana
il their work is crowned with success
they may eventually attain an income
Of from $4,000 to 10000 a year. This
is the pay of the London top.notchers
In the millinery line. but in Paris the
profession is more remnuerative. The
head designer of Paris firm of hat
makcrs, young and accomplished
widow. draws a salary of $4,000 a
year.

She declares with scorn that the medal
winner should have been given a leath-
err instead of a gold medal, and contln-
uing she says: "Fancy man going
about for years like that, taking part
III other peoples weddings and never
Eaving one OF his own. Fancy man
going about for years singing: The
Voice that breathed DER Eden, and
then being content to go on living in

and poetry of it all. ! should think

expect her best friends to be brides
maids, when there was to be an under
taker like that for best man."

In the last game OF the series in which
the Unknowns and the Buffalo Reds had
each taken one Inning. La Rue was a
poor batsman and the crowd began TO

late and they believed the Reds had the
game won. having scored six runs In their
half. Tho Unknowns had scored three

would have 1t, La Rue hit the ball a

he slipped and sprained his ankle. A
doctor hurled to him and set the foot
again and La Rue limped around as fast

YALE STARTS MONDAY
Houghton of Harvard Will

YALE STARTS MONDAY

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-During the
next three months the football coach
will rule supreme upon college campus
and gridiron. To the candidates for
places On the eleven his word will be
law, and to the non-playing students
hands rests the future OF the univer-
sity.
The position Of football coach is not
one in which all is acclaim and glory.
The task of developing winning team
calls for serious and hard work, even
under the most favorable conditions.
Even with an abundance of satisfactory
material the judgment and thought that
must be given to the selection OF Just
the right combination is but small
portion of the work. The first and sec
ond teams must be carefully drilled and
trained and in the end, If defeat comes
in the final and big game Of the sea.
SOD, the coach reaps all the blame. ii
the reverse is true his share Of the
gIory is small and fleetipg.
Without the football coach, however,
football would fall far short of the
scientific game that it is today. Ev-
cry college and university has either
an alumni coaching system or an alum
nus OF some other institut tion teaching
the Young men how to tackle, dodge,
fall on the ball, and the numberlesS
other individual and combination Sc
crets that 60 TO complete the gridiron
education of the player. Of the sew
eral hundred colleges in various parts
Of the United States less than Is per
cent try to play football with the coach
left out. Even the leading high schools
and preparatory academies have their
pald coaches.
All the football mentors will have
bo,r oh Of ~ he frxa
or three weeks and the land will resound
with the thud Of boot against ball and
body against turf Yale has planned
an early start, and Captain Ketcham
will take a squad Of players TO Sias-
conset, Mass, on Monday for prelimi
nary practice before the New Haven
university formally opens its doors for
another scholastic year.
Coach Houghton of Harvard is more
deliberate as befits a champion, and
he will not gather his charges about
him at Cambridge until September 15-
Captain Storer, however. saw to 1t that
every promising player took at least
one football away with him at the be.
ginning Of the summer vacation, and
the men doubtless were instructed to
report in condition If they hoped 10
make the eleven of 1913.
Cornell will start its second season
September 10 under the coaching OF
DR.. Al Sharpe. Under the new regime
at Ithaca, Cornell can be counted upon
as factor in eastern football this sea-
son. Princeton, too, plans for an early
start, while the advent of George
Brooke at Pennsylvania will certainly
liven up the Quaker campaign.
In tho middle west Coach Stagg Of
Chicago hopes to recapture the Confer
ence championship; Coach Yost Of
Michigan is looking forward to eastern
triumphs, while Illinois hopes for great
improvement under Its new football
mentor, Bob Zuppke.

There is no demand for this organ

National and American leagues are re-

THE Federal league this year Is run

outlaw promoters haven't been driven to

when the American league broke into
