FOOTBALL AT WEST POINT.
Must be Kept Because it Teaches Self
Reliance and Self Control.

Writing to the New York Sun,
correspondent delivers himself as
follows
81 have been interested in foot
ball for the past ten years and re-
greet that the superintendent of the
Military Academy regards this manly
sport with disfavor. Football is as
essential in the education of the
Young men of America as the work
done in the classroom,
"This great outdoor sport played
on thousands of fields every year
teaches one self-control and at times
the art If self-defence. although it
is pleasing to note that smuggling has
been practically abolished with the
introduction of the new rules. Any
Young man, to play football success
fully, must also be quick thinker so
as to be able to act on the spur of
the moment.
"What better training could be
afforded the future officers of the
United States army than the disci-
pine acquired on the football field?
Here one may learn self-control
through the. hard knocks received, to
obey orders from the captain and to
respond to signals given by the quar-
terback. The long season at the
training table is also discipline in
itself.
1.-The discipline taught during q
game or in practice is helpful to all
young men who will have to fight the
battles of business and professional
life. Victories, however, do not
bring with them the lessons that
come with defeat. After an eleven
is defeated it is then that the play
ers rally for another game, encour-
aged by the student body, and indl-
vidual member of the team takes II
upon himself to win, inspired by the
true football spirit.
'Such is the never say die spirit
that wins football games and also
wins in the battle of life. That
spirit is even more necessary al
West Point than elswhere.

OYSTER WEEK.
October 20 To Is is The Time To
Have AppeIites Ready.

Retail dealers are getting ready
for the biggest oyster business OF
any season in the history of the in
dustry during the week of October 20
to rs, which has been doomed from
one coast to the ether, and from the
northern boundary of Canada to the
Rio Grande, as "Oyster Week, "
through the efforts Of the Oyster
Growers & Dealers Association of
North America, which includes in its
membership practically all the grow
ers and jobbers of oysters in the two
countries.
The oyster week campaign was
started early last August and by the
time the oyster season opened up the
demand was double that of last year,
the dealers say. Some big inland
iobbers report business to be three
times that of 1912. The oyster week
movement has back of it the COM
bined strength of the Oyster Growers
and Dealers Association of North
America, the tens of thousands of re-
tailers, hotels, etc, as well as the
shell fisheries commissions OF the
oyster producing states.
DR.. Carl L. Alsberg, head of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, and many of the pure food
commissioners of the various states
have endorsed oysters as wholesome
and nutritious when taken from mod
ern beds which are unpolluted by sew
age. During oyster week the rail
roads of the country and Ct Canada
and the hotels in every town will fea-
ture the week on their menus and
serve the oysters in every possible

WE ALL KNOW HER.
''The Spendthrifl" Character 10 Last
Nights PLAY is Ever With Us
Can't You Spot Her All The
Time7

Spending more than che makes,
trying to keep up with the procession
and climbing into the front seat of
the band wagon. owning an sutomo-
bile and a steam launch on a $40 per
week salary of a poor clerk, or a
fast horse and buggy on an So wee K
wage, was the keynote of the play
presented at the Colonial Theatre
last night by the Myrkle- Harder Com
pany.
II was great play by q splendid
company of players and the only
thing cheap" about ii was the price
of admission, although on the lower
door the price had been raised lit
tie. because of the heavy royalty on
the play. Every seat was taken, and
1t was a good audience, into whose
bosom, it is hoped, the lessons taught
by the play penetrated 10 the bone;
aye, even to the marrow, for there
is no place on this mundane sphere
where people live beyond their
means more than they seem to do
ri ght here in Annapolis.
1.-The Spendthrift' was the title of
the play She was a woman who
loved pretty things most women do.
She loved handsome home, Dime rs,
card parties, theatre parties, auto
mobiles, servants and all of these she
must have, even thoughthe having cost
several times as many thousands as
her husbands annual income. The
Spendthrift "-Qike the poor we
have always with us. We see her
every day; we know her. We have
her in our family. Oh yes she is
familiar person is the woman who,
for dress and admiration, wilt spare
nothing TO accomplish her ends, no
matter what the means. She is the
woman whose husbands nose is kept
to the grindstone that his sweet?
pretty? wife may have all she wants.
But she gets her punishment, as did
the "spendthrift" in the play. Ret
ribution always comes in this world
as we'll as in the next-mostly in
this. In the title role Miss Myrkle
was magnificent. Always natural
and pleasing. Her gowns were eX-
Quisite models of fashions latest
creations.
Mr.. Berth, as Richard Ward, more
than "filled the bill" He is a con-
vincing actor at all times, no matter
in what character cast. Mr.. Depew
has done splendidly all the week and
was capably cast last night as Monty.
Miss Lounsbury is sple ndid actress
and has won favor all week. As
"Clarice" she was exceptionally
good. Tonight the splendid company
says farewell in Quincy Adam
