DO you play chess" asked a
friend of Thomas Carlyle.
"Yes," he replied.
"Are you expert at it,"
NO." responded the author of
"Sartor Resartus.". Il am not such
a fool"
He who plays a game well is bene-
flied. He who plays it too well has
wasted his time learning how to play
it.
The legitimate and not overstren-
uous sports and games are to be en-
couraged. They add good cheer, as
well as spice, to life, and help to rub
off the rough edges and lower the
handicaps.
/ have little respect for the man
or boy, woman or girl, who does not
enjoy some sport or pastime.
Practically all great people love
out-of-door life and indoor games,
using them for relaxation. They are
an important part of the propaganda
of their life Without them much OF
the joy of living would be lost.
There is something the matter with
the man who cannot enjoy a good
ball game, and who takes no interest
in sports in general, eliminating, of
course, those of brutal nature. They
are worthy of a reasonable amount
of his attention, and there is no rea-
son why he should not enjoy them
and take part in them When he
carries sport to an excess, he makes
a fool of himself. Sport no longer
becomes play to him, but serious
proposition.
There is a vast difference between
the love OF play and an abnormal de-
yotion to it.
Thousands of men and boys have
stunted their mental and business
growth by an er-attention to sports.

REBEL AEROS HURL
DEATH TO FEDERALS
Many Huertistas Die at Mazatian from
Bombs Dropped by Nephew

Durango, Mex, May 1L-Gen. Carranzs
today received a report from Gen. Ala.

to Mazatlan. informing him that Capt
Salinas Carranza, a nephew Of Gen. Car.

dropping bombs from his machine and
disabling the federal gunboat Guerrero.
Gen. Obregon advises Gen. Carranza
that the aerial fleet was effective in
shelling the federal intrenchments and
had forced the evacuation by the fed
erals of several strong positions. Many
federals were killed by the bombs, and
many more were wounded.
The Investment of the seacoast strong
hold is complete, Gen. Obregon reports
and he expects to announce a complete
triumph at almost any hour. His ar
tillery is pouring a deadly fire into the
federal trenches and large buildings,
while under protection of the heavy bonn
bardment, his infantrymen are slowly
closing in On the beleagured city.

Experience has proven pretty con-
clusively that undue attention to any

against a man, makes him abnormal,
and reduces his chances of success.
The American tendency not to take
active part in sport, but to become
mere member of an audience, is fun
damentally wrong, and is in direct
opposition to the English policy,
which makes college men and others
active participants in the game, and
not mere viewers of it.

TO CUT COST OF BEEF
HE'D SAVE THE CALVES
Representative Britten Advocates Law
to Prohibit Killing or Interstate
Shipment of Heifers.

The Conservation Of calves. which
means preventing the killing Of young
animals for veal, is urged by Represent
ative Britten, of Illinois, as means OF
reducing the high cost Of living. In a
recent speech in the House he called at
tention to the fact that three bills are
now pending before the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce which
might bring down the price Of beefsteak
II enacted. .....
Representative Britten finds that for
eign importations of beef have not re-
lieved the situation, despite the hopes OF
tariff revision advocates. He believes
that one way to curb the beef trust Is
to prohibit the killing and interstate ship
ping Of calves
There Is bill introduced by Judge
Adamson, of Georgia." says Mr.. Britten.
which prohibits the slaughter Of inter
state transportation for beef purposes Of
any female calf heifer or cow under
seven years of age. or any male calf un-
der two years or age, or the carcass or
flesh of such animal Another bill before
fore the committee, introduced by myself.
prohibits the slaughter or interstate ship
ment of beef cattle under two years Of
age for food purposes. 1t is really i'm
material which bill is brought in SO long
as something is done in the nature of
a step forward to meet the great problem
of the beef supply and the increasing
cost of living.
"A rapidly decreasing beef supply on
one hand and a rapidly increasing popu-
lation on the other readily account for
sirloin steak being Il per cent higher than
in the ten-year period between 1880 and
1900, while round steak has increased 100
per cent rib roast 70 jer cent, pork chops
LIZ per cent, bacon 12s per cent, smoked
hams 50 per cent and lard 50 per cent.
New foundations may be constructed
upon which to rebuild the catti industry
Of the country. and I really believe that
legislation of this sort is Of vastly great
er importance than much of the legisla-
ton that is daily taking up the time of
Congress"

DECIDED COLOR TENDENCIES.

There seems to be two decided ten
denotes in color lines for summer-one
the vivid Oriental shades that have been
seen all winter. the other. all the delicate
tones known as sweet pea shades.
But for linen dresses and for suits
the more vivid colors win probably be
used. Tassels and linen and leather or
naments are being made. combining white
and natural linen shades with Chinese
yellows and blues. Green will be popu-
lar, too-in the four new tones called alb
sinthe. Czarina, emerald and empire.

Senator Declares Exemption

nomic Policy.
NOT AN ISSUE N 1917
West Virsinian Says His Views Have
Changed Because Free Tolls
Violates Treaty.
NOT AN ISSUE IN 1912

Senator Chiffon. OF West Virginia, made
the only set speech on canal tolls In
the Senate Yesterday. He 10 one Of ths
Democratic Senators who voted to ex-
empt coastwise vessels from tolls. and
has since changed his mind and will vote
In accordance with the President's rec.
ommendation. The Senator expressed
the opinion that the exemption Of coast
wise vessels by the Panama Canal act
was in contravention OF the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. He went further and de-
clared II to be a mictaken economic pol
icy.
'No party platform declaration tha,
contravenes treaty should be accepted
as binding on anybody" said Senator
Chiffon. He declared that the tolls ques-
tion was not an issue In the campaign
Of 1912. and nobody gave any particu-
lar thought to the question.
President Wilson ID not building for
the day in the policy he has announced
in regard to canal tolls. but he Is build

Chiffon.
He justified his stand on the general
theory that free tolls to American coast

contrary to Democratic policy and to the
public welfare.

lates inordinate greed. is calculated To
create wealthy classes, and burdens busi-

What is there about the shipping trust
or about a business which can easily be-
come a trust to distinguish 1t from the
railroad business, the oil business. the
steel business, or any other kind Of busi-
ness which is SO liable to drift into the
hands Of q few? The junior Senator
from New York has estimated that these

German Consul Reports that No

Vera Cruz, May I4-An army Of rebels,
unearthing treasure which was buried
by merchants before the evacuation of
the city. is marching and digging through
Tampico tonight
Apparently barren of anything edible
or intrinsicaliy valuable, Tampico was a
disappointment to the victorious con-
stitutionalists. Thousands of loot and
food hungry soldiers. finding waste
where they thought to find Sindbad's s
treasure, are making a mining camp
Of Tampico.
The soldiers found in several in
stances treasure that had been inse-
curely hidden by fleeing merchants.
That was the clew to the mystery with
which they were confronted when they
found Tampice sacked by its own
people.
City is Quiet.

3or fights for possession of the loot
among fortunate and unfortunate.
But for the shouts and curses of the
looting soldiers, as they dig and fight
and dig again, the city is quiet. There, is
no shooting.
How the policy Of Zaragoza was re-
garded by foreigners generally Is shown
in a message sent out by the German
consul, who remained through the entire
attack. He wrote: -
The property rights of neither for
eigners nor natives are respected. We
expect the old order of things to be re-
established within three days. The city
is now quiet
OIL Wells I'm Danger.
The presence of the United States
cruisers Dolphin and Des Moines with
Admiral Mayo aboard in the river right
in front of the city is responsible to q
great extent for the moderation and self
repression OF the conquisitadores. As
the admiral went up the river about II
o'clock this morning the guns on the
vessels were loaded and the marines
lined UP, ready to land II required.
The admiral sent word that he desired
to arrange for the protection of Ameri-
can property, particularly the oil wells
and plants which he feared might be
fired during the course of the celebration
of the victory. Consul Miller arranged
for the delivery of the message to Gen.
Gonzales and Gen Callabero With evacu-
alton by the federals the oil wells were
left neglected and the oil is safl flowing
into the river by the thousands Of gal
Ions. Oil men here say the bigger wells
will burst. IL neglected much longer.
Consul Miller is again occupying the

can proceed with confidence in lay
ing down sidewalks wherever, in its
discretion. it may think the same are

handicap removed progress in the lay.

MEETING o. EDUCATORS AT FIT
MYERS

There is not much question that
the county superintendent and other
school officials of Florida heartily en-
dorse the present movement toward
the practical In educational training.
At the state convention this morning
the entire discussion was given over
90 industrial and vocational training
In the public schools, and almost ev-
cry speaker favored the introduction
Of such courses. Not only that, but
general endorsement was given to the
proposition now so widely discussed
amony edcutors of eliminating some
OF the subjects now commonly taught,
and substituting therefor training ON
matters more directly related to ac-
tual life.
Some OF the topics discussed were
the necessity for industrial and voca-
tional training; how it could best be
introduced into the rural school;
whether its introduction would retard
or advance educational efficiency, and
how teachers could be prepared and
secured for such instruction.
The only conservative note of the
morning was struck by State Supt.
Sheats, who said that while many
subjects could be eliminated from
present school course. the pendulum
should not be allowed to swing too
far in the other direction. and sufii-
cient classical training should be Civ
en- to preserve educational symmetry.
