SHOULD MAKE COACHING A Bust.
..s NESS.
Bill Edwards Thinks Coach Should
Have Nothing Else TO Do. /

That a football coach; to produce the
best results, should make coaching
regular business, is the, opinion of
William IBID Edwards, the famous
Princeton guard. Edwards in stating
his views on the future coaching sys-
TEN at Princeton, said recently:
q believe absolutely in the one-man
system. Football has become a regul
lar business, and in any regular bust.
ness one man must stand at the head.
There should never be considered any
time any men but a Princeton football
man Tor the position. Princeton has
numerous men who can handle this
Job successfully, but when such. a man
is chosen he must make football his
regular. business and give his entire
time to this work. Such a man must
I be wen paid, and this man should, ]
believe, have entire selection Of the

MITCHELL TALKS
ON GOOD ROADS
Addresses Gathering at Noon
Day Luncheon at Rock Is
land Club.

Phil Mitchell. president of the Rocl,
Island County Highway improvement
association. was the speaker at the
luncheon today at the Rock Island
club. Captain W. \. Rosenfeld. pres
ident of the club. introduced the
speaker.
The theme OF Mr.. Mitchelrs address
was Good Roads in Rock Island Coun
ty." and he decried the fact that I'LL
nOis. which in a good many respects
is the greatest state in the union and
one OF the richest, should have the
poorest roads in the country. also that
Rock Island county which is consid-
cred one OF the leading counties in the
state. should have the worst roads in
the state. Under the present plan, very
little has been accomplished. and very
little would be accomplished in future
unless drastic measures were taken TO
remedy this serious condition of af-
fairs.
Mr. Mitchell based his arguments on
information obtained from Mr.. Eng
fish. president of the First National
bank at Danville. This city is situated
i'm Vermillion county, and PROPOSE
ton of a s1.5O0,00O bond issue for the
purpose of good roads has been put up
TO the voters in that county. and is
being received very favorably. This
county is situated on the Indiana line,
where they have good roads. and this
has tended 10 stir them into action.
Mr.. Mitchell has spent much time and
study on the subject, and suggests that
similar action be taken here. and that
a 100000 bond issue. for the pur-
pose OF good roads. should be put be-
fore the voters here at the next cleo
ton. The old plan of farmers blowing
and dragging the roads in payment of
their road tax has accomplished prac-
tically nothing and that the roads are

ELECTRIFIED cELLULoib.
Pulling Couple of Strips Betwec5 the
Fingers Changes Them.

Pulling a Couple of Strips Betwec1 tho
Fingers Changes Them.
If you, will take two thin lengths of
celluloid. put them in contact and then
suddenly and rapidly pull thenE be-
tween your fingers you will observe
they both have become electrified mot
only on their outside surfaces. where
the friction of your fingers causfd a
negative electrification, but also on the
inner surface of the celluloid.
The strange part about this is THAT
one of the inner surfaces OF the piece
is positively charged and the othet one
is negatively charged. II one OF. them
is slightly curved during the friction
the convex one will be positively
charged and the concaye sided onsw will
be negatively charged
1t seems. therefore, to depend Upon
whether the surface is concaFe or
whether it is convex-depressed OF ex-
panded-to produce negative or posi-
tive electricity. Even the most mifute,
imperceptibIe curvature is Sufficient TO
give the expected result. 1t also II inn
possible 10 pull. the strips of celitloid
the fingers without prodIt-.n..
such strong electrification that one
piece win support the other.
Even the vapor pressure OF liquids S
stronger at the convex surface then ut
the concave. If electrons are cotsid-
cred rs particles of gas dissolved in
solids-as they once were-or as feaEa-
tive electricity. there will be IL sr9ttcr
tendency for the electrons to esf3p.
from the convex side. which therefore
will be left positively charged ahis
also is in perfect accord with the iatest
researches upon electrons.
Interesting experiments can be fhade
by following the above directions. sCei.

several years age.
The rivalry that has existed between
the Rock river route and the Scenic
route on the proposed ocean to ocean
highway probably done more toward
improving the roads than any other in
cident in many years
MIR. Mitchell submitted the appended
resolution which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That it is the sense of
this meeting that steps should be TAX
en- for the issue of bonds amounting
to S1.000,00O for the construction Of
good country roads in Rock Island
county.
Mr.. Mitchell closed his talk by say
ing that il was vital that this project
be carried through without delay.
