participation in any athletic contests.
This has been the policy OF the v. r.
II, Athletic Council during the last
FIVE years. and 1t will continue to pur-
sue this policy. Therefore. the Uni-
versity OF Virginia can make no kick
on these grounds now. Moreover. the
student bodies and the alumnae OF
both institutions are extremely anx-
ious for these two teams to play each
other. The public at large Is also
anxious that the game be played. But
this overwhelming majority is over
ruled by a few individuals who con-
troll the decisions of the University OF
Virginia Athletic Council. Whether
these individuals fear that Virginia
will risk the loss OF some Of her pres
tige or not can only be surmised. But
there Is no real reason why the teams
should not play, and every reason
why they should play. Therefore, II
this fear is really responsible for tho
attitude of virginia's advisors. let VI

that the football teams represent
Ing the University of Virginia and
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute
may CLASH again in 1915. There
seems to be some foundation for this
rumor, but whether 1t will material
ize or not remains to be seen. The
athletic council Of the v. p. I. has
been unanimously IN favor OF play
ing this game for some time. but in
the past 1t has always been met by
a refusal to play ON the part Of vir-
ginia. However, 1t is reasonably GER
tain that the challenge will again be
made in 1916. and should Virginia
choose to accept 1t. athletic relations
will probably be once more perma-
nently established between the two
schools.
There Is every reason to make these
two teams play each other. They
are natural rivals. the one represent

Smoke streaming from it's peak aroused

strengthened that Kanaka had broken
loose. The forestry officials who sup

Read of Poor Scotchman
Who Rose Through
Honesty.

There is a book soon to be pub
lished which will give the history
of some of the Scotchmen that
came to this country when they
were boys, and that have, by
their genius and moral character,
put very definite stamp on our
city and times.
An incident occurred in the
early life of one of these which
the boys can learn something
from that will be of use to them
and that may perhaps help TO
make them as successful as he

He was born poor, in a story
and "a half house. His father
was a weaver He came to this
country with the rest of his ia
theirs family when he was 10. and
commenced on a job that paid
him 20 cents day.
Faithful work as a bobbin boy
soon procured him position that
earned him almost a dollar "a day.
His attentiveness to what was
given him to do brought him aft
er little while to the attention
of a railroad man who was a
large employer of help.
He had in the meantime been
economizing his small earnings,
out of which it was suggested 10
him that he should take just a
little stock in a car company.
He was shrewd enough to realize
the opportunity, but knew we'll
enough that he hadn't the money.

THE up-to-date kitchen apron is by
! no means an ungraceful garment,
and much ingenuity is evident in de-
signing it to meet all the require
ments of housework and good looks
at the same time. The new pat
terms, that cover the entire figure,
look better and are far more practical
than the aprons set on to band, that
preceded them. 1t is Just about as
easy to make aprons that protect the
whole dress, cover the sleeves and
stay in place, as to make those gath
cred to band, and 1t is quite as easy
TO do them UP.
Gingham, calico and percaIe are
used, cut by plain kimono-sleeved pat
terms like that shown in the picture
given here. Indigo blue and white,
or black and white, are selected for
permanency in color. Any number Of
patterns In figures and checks and
stripes give one a wide choice in
design.
Aprons made OF these good substan-
tial cotton fabrics having a white
ground with black stripes are great
favorites for "cook-aprons. Shep-
herds checks and polka dots figure
among these also. For sweeping and
dusting the indigo blue cottons with
small white dots for figures are made
up with caps to match and are better
than the more readily soiIed cottons
with white ground for these purposes.
Turkey-red cotton fabrics are used
Tor making bindings on the shepherds
checks more particularly but are
liked on the dark hlva aprons a.

we'll. The red will not fade in the
least with any amount of washing,
and is therefore liked better than any
other solid color. The apron pictured
is an example of the use of this red
binding Oh a medium large shepherds
check. The neck, sleeves, pocket and
edges are bound with it. It brightens
up the otherwise ordinary pattern and
makes it really attractive.
Some aprons are made of the heav-
Ter cotton crepe in gray and finished
with borders In solid colors or fig
ures. These usually fasten in front
and look very much like home dresses.
They are not closed below the waist
line and are easily slipped on and of.
The front Of the dress under them is
protected because. in these patterns.
the fronts overlap.
The new aprons are, in fact, so
like house dresses that they may be-
worn instead of a dress. But they are
made with ample sleeves, round necks
and simple fastenings, so that they
slip ON over dress easily. Sleeves
are short and out OF the way. Alto
getheFs well chosen kitchen or work
aprons may be said to be attractive
In themselves. Certainly the neat
housewife knows how to look very
fetching in them.

bag and hat, constitute the usual set

Furs are combined with fabrics, or
two kinds of fur may be made up to-

popular association of material. Satin
and fur-cloth is inexpensive and as
beautiful as the more costly furs.
Velvet alone and velvet embellished
