RANK HIGH IN SCHOLARSHIP
Denied by Former Professor
In an Eastern College.

"That athletics are practiced In nost
colleges do not detract the attention of
students from scholastic duties is
abundantly testified to by college pro-
fessors," remarked DR.. James Hine-
man, a former professor in one Of the
eastern colleges. DR.. Brinker, the
president of Lehigh university, de-
clared that the Lehigh football squad
had averaged higher IN scholastic
standing than the students who did
not participate in college athletics. LIE.
high is not the only college In which
this fact has been marked. Cornell for
several years-and / have no doubt
that it continues to show it-had foot
ball and baseball teams the members
of which led their classes.
Properly controlled athletics are as
necessary to successful mental train
ing as are professors. presume there
have been instances where members
Of college teams have failed in their
examinations. and charges follow, as a
matter Of course. that these men are
not genuine students. But the facts are
60 pronounced that the best men on
the leading athletic teams In our
greatest colleges are men Of big men.

MADE HIM give UP THE GAME,
Caddie's Unfeellna Remarts Too Much
for Tender Feelings II Dear /!
Old Gentleman.

A dear old gentleman, whit had only
taken up the dear game very late in
life, spent some months endeavoring,
under the tuition of a professions
and the care of a special caddie, to
hit the ball. When he succeeded In
doing so at all it was never more than
q few yards, and every bunker on the
course was his daily doom. Still his
caddie, having an eye to the main
chance, always encouraged him to
think that he would soon be more a
player, and the old man, with the
hope that springs eternal even more
In the hearts Of golfers than in other
people, firmly believed him. One day
1t happened that his special caddy was
absent, and rufianly looking person
appeared on the first tee with the old
gentleman's clubs. he took his nor
NAL IA shots to the first hole, to the
unconcealed but unnoticed disgust Of
the caddie; but on the second tee the
miracle happened, and the old boy for
once hit beauty.
AAdS was d SOOO Ouc, ASH II
he asked. turning to the bearer Of
clubs.
Good one?" retorted the ruff1an, in
tones Of the bitterest contempt why,
could play better than that with me
left fut!"
This unexpected verdict so upset
the poor old man that he walked
straight back home, and has never
touched a club since.

NEED COOKS IN AUSTRALIA
Scarcity Of Household Help Has Be.
come Serious Problem in
Island Continent.

The long-cherished theory that athe
worlds surplus feminine population
could be married off If it could be
persuaded to migrate to the .antipodes
is not borne out In a report Of the
DominiOn's royal commissioniupon the
demand for women in Australia.
Women are wanted badly in7the great
island continent, but not so much for
marriage as for domestic servants
So great is the demand, according
to the report, that many of the girls
sailing from England have been en-
gagged by wireless as cooks and serv-
ants in Australian households before
their steamer reached port In some
cases. men have been so hard Mp for
cooks that they have gone out b tugs
to meet incoming vessels to make
sure that they have the first pick Of
girls seeking employment The first
few days following the landing of the
immigrants resemble an old hiring
fair. The employers besiege the labor
bureau in hundreds, and in "a short
time every newcomer desiring domes-
tic work is pretty certain to have
secured a situation at wages more
than double the sum which she could
command in England
The commission learned Of COM
plants that the scarcity of servants in
Australia involves such a burden on
housewives that it was Affecting seri-
ously their health. and even acting
as a check upon the much tdesired in.
crease of the population.
