is not surprising, either, for Mr.. LOTUS

an Englishman through and through. In

than Britisher. Black-haired English

loves and retains the customs of his fair
England. My boys resemble him in that.

In America our children are sent to

you think Of that practice?" Mrs. LOTUS

babies at FIVE! They should be out in the
sunshine playing instead of being cooped
up indoors. Oh. no. l should never con-

strange little boys and girls.

Have We any ambition for our boys?
Yes. Mr.. Lotus wants one to enter the
British navy-he thinks it turns out such
splendid men-and the other to prepare
for the diplomatic corps. l want them

early to think of planning for them yet.

and they did good deal toward giving
him his start in public life by promoting
his candidacy for and election to the
house of burgesscs. He read some books
on farming and talked over such things
with the other big farmers He kept farm
accounts. All the big farmers had

Washington's practice in this matter was
not unusual or exceptional.
when it came down to society. George
moved in the best circles. Lawrence, his
half brother, married into the Fairfax
family, and the Fairfax family married
into the rich Carlyle family, and all the
other big landowners were related to each
other in some way or another So. there
is nothing in this stuff about George
Washington having been a poor, strug-
Cling youth.
George had smallpox and his face was
pitted. Smallpox was common then, and
nearly everybody had to have it and
nearly everybody who got over 1t was
pockmarked.
George Washington lost his teeth early
and had set of false teeth made which
were carved out of the tusk Of hippo
potamus.

George Washington was that he always
carried a bunch of keys tied together
with a string and he always had a green
leather pocketbook. He was fond Of 60

balloon ascension in America.
He was fond of the theater. and he

George was upright Most of the Vir-

they talked about it more than would be

did not think of STOPPING TO such low

taking a mean advantage of another

Another idea that you fellows who
come down from the city seem to have
about George Washington is that he was
a rough, homespun boy, who lived in a
log cabin. chopped wood. studied by the
light of blazing logs in the fireplace, and
struggled on and upward. That's all
nonsense. As l have already told you,
the Washingtons were rich people as
riches were measured In those days.
George Washington could have had any
sort of an education he wanted, but he
did not take to book learning. Few OF
the Washingtons did. There was not as
much bowling about education and cul-
ture and all that sort of thing then as
there is now. 1t was not considered the
proper thing for gentleman to know
as much about books and languages and
music and arts as school teacher or a
parson.
Tutors who had been through college,
and who had studied Greek and Latin
and mathematics, were hired cheap. given

in the light Of high-class domestics.
George did not go in for studying. He

landed man. He did not take it up as a

the suffrage movement has brought about
this unbecoming change in the feminine

betting the feminine sex. They seem to
be destroying the womanly attributes

Suppose this matter of feminine poll

ants, or left uncared for totally. and
the children will be given to the super
vision of indifferent nursery maids. This
is not my idea of feminine efficiency or
duty. Another cause for marital unhap-
piness will spring up right away through
this participation in politics.

Another indication that the original

FOOTBALL MEN RETURN

Athletes Arrive Ready for Scrim-
mage After Fortnight's Outing
at Twin Lakes-More Join
Practice This Week
by Lee Lewis, 10

When Coach Bender returned
from Twin Lakes with his % foot
ball huskies Sunday noon they
brought with them hopes of Win
ming football team. Eight letter
men, nine new men, and four of last
years scrubs compose the men who
were at the training camp, although
others will join the squad here.
Assistant Coach Kienholz, for four
years a star on the w. S. c. team,
arrived here Thursday, and is en-
thusiastic about the camp and the
way affairs were conducted this year.
The men We're there for two weeks
and were put through two stiff prac-
tees a day, including punting, leg
boxing, going down on punts, catch
ing passes, taking direct passes, and
few other elements of football.
Strictest attention was paid to diet
and rest, and the squad as a whole
is in perfect condition. Consider
able running was done for the sake
of wind, and when the men turn out
the first night on Rogers Field they
will he ready for scrimmage. No
signals were given and no teams
were lined up at the camp, so that
no hint was given of any prospective
lineup, but it is certain that no man
as yet has his position cinched
There seems to be an abundance
OF ends, but not enough linemen.
Heg and Dietz, of last years regu-
lars, were at camp, and Tyrer, a
three-year man, is expected here to-
day. Besides these, there are Zim-
norman, a brother to Heinie Zim-
norman, captain of last years U. Of
w. crew; Hanley, who played the
end opposite to Jack Abrams on the
North Central team of Spokane last
year, and Loomis, a Broadway High
star, of Seattle, all of whom are

1t Is very probable that one or more
of these men will be shifted to the
back field. Dietz is a likely candi-
date for the backfield, and may be
tried out there, according to Assist
ant Coach Kienholz.
In the back field Satterthwaite.

of the old set of backs. Bangs and
Snodgrass, two Albion Normal men,
are looking pretty good, the latter
being a hard worker and pretty
clever. The former is a punter of

chance for a job as halfback and
