There is a whole lot of truth in
the following from the pen of a New
York sport writer:
The University of Michigan's ath-
letic director. DIR. G. \. May, says that
every student should leave games
(athletic, not card) alone during his
first year and should devote his at
tention to work on gymnasium ap-
paratus.
"Dr. May. we are sorry to record. is
dead wrong. 1t is the apparatus sys-
tenn that is driving students from
athletic work. The average college
makes gymnasium work compulsory.
The freshman goes to gym class twice
a week and yanks at the weights or
wearies through an hour of "one-two-
three-lunge! One-two- -three-step!" stun
when he wants to be throwing a ball
at a basket or swinging n racquet on

President Tener, of the National League,
believes that the future of baseball rests
solely upon the decision of Judge Lands
or the ultimate conclusions deducted
therefrom.
Either baseball as conducted by the
national agreement clubs is right or it
is wrong" said he. ''and the sooner we
find out where we stand the better for
us The game has suffered much within
the last year as a result of the many
attacks upon its integrity. However, such
questions will have no lasting effect.

Hilton would be represented in the
Hatchetites' meet, but as to who the men

compete Mr. Cox was unable to state.

Mr. Cox. land have not had chance to
talk with Coach O'Reilly about the track

athletes are in shape to compete but you
can saw for me that Georgetown VIII be

It had been hinted that the Hilltoppers
would not compete in the Hatchetite
games, but no reason was vouchsa1eo.
One of the men high in authority at
Georgetown stated last Wednesday that
the whole matter was up to Graduate
Manager Cox. and that until he returned
nothing could be given out Tor puoilcd-

Mr.. Cox is now home and has settled
the whole business, WHICH -

NEWSPAPER ERRORS

The capacity of some people for de-
tecting errors in the newspaper is mar
velous. Also it is singular how many
unexpected meanings these people can
find. If the reporter writes that a man
wore coat of such and such character
some one may call up and ask if the
coat was all the man had on? To sat
isfy their literalists, you must enumer-
ate(them by item the other articles of
attire, or they will accuse you of max
ing the victim appear half naked. The
reader who digest his paper in the quiet
of his home feels that he has shown
great brilliancy if he detects an error
in grammar or capitalization. 1t Is one
thing to find mistakes at your leisure in
another mans work, quite another to
turn out high degree of accuracy and
precision in the haste of newspaper
composition.
The banker makes blunders in his
figures, the lawyers draws up incorrect
papers, and the business man submits
erroneous bills. Such blunders are
known only to the few persons who
they concern. The newspaper man is
like the actor on the stage, whose slight
est slip is manifest to all and seems ri
diculons. 1t would be perfectly possi-
bic to produce a newspaper having the
same high degree of accuracy as the
best edited magazine. But this would
either cost about twice as much for a
more costly force, or else the scope and
field of the newspaper would have to
be reduced and less matter printed. The
public would not pay the bills in the
first case and it would not be satisfied
with curtailment of service. So the
newspapers struggle along as best they
can in their eternal effort to accomplish
that impossibility, a snapshot of daily
life that shall be permanent and abso-
lutte truthful history. The newspaper
man is not offended when he is Jollied
on such mistakes as creep in. He mere
ly wishes the critics could have his job
about one week

CAN'T AFFORD IT

The other day merchant said he
couldn't afford to advertise in his home
newspaper. If the mans view were
not distorted, he would see that he
couldn't afford not to do. Refusing to
advertise is his most expensive ex-
travagance. That same merchant will
spend hours telling of the unfair"
competition of the mail-order houses
who are his most aggressive and
dangerous competitors, yet the methods
employed by the mail-order houses
which succeed are the very ones which
the merchant refuses to use. The
mail order house first of all is an AD-
VERTISER. Advertising Is the life
of its business. Every magazine that
enters the small town and rural home
carries the ad of the mail-order house.
Expensive catalogs are printed show
ing the illustrations of the actual
articles. Occasionally sheets are
scattered brosdcast over the country
as a special "come-on" for the bar
gain hunter. Instead of doing these
things in a smaller way through the
columns of his local paper, the mer-
chant who can't afford to advertise sits
down and "cusses" his tough luck and
wonders why he can't get the business.
He never thinks he has a better
opportunity to reach the people in his
neighborhood than the mail-order house
has. 1t doesn't cost him as much as il
does the outsider; he can draw the
people to his store and show them the
actual article he is advertising, and
when they buy, they can take theil
purchase home with them instead Of
having to wait several weeks for it
Advertising is an investment. Il
should be charged to your selling cost
Figure what percentage you have t.
pay to advertise, then base a fifty-twt
weeks campaign on the computation
You can't lose. You can't afford NOT
to advertise.

PROHIBITION AN ISSUE

The announ ,ement that Representa-
tive Robert L. Henry, who had been
selected for chairman of the house
rules committee, will make his race for
the senate in Texas on a platform
opposing prohibition has aroused the
anti-saloon league and other prohibi-
tionists. A vigorous protest against
his reelection as chairman of the rules
committee will be made by the prohibi-
tionists when congress meets.
The protest will be filed with the
ways and means committee, which has
the making up of the house committees.
1t is the purpose of the anti-saloon
people to bring before congress a bill
providing for prohibition in the District
of Columbia, with view to making
thatithe entering wedge to national pro-
hibition.
The leaders of the prohibition move
ment have indicated they do not believe
Mr.. Henry should be put at the head of
the important committee on rules, to
which their bill will be referred and con-
sidered before it goes to the house for
final action.
The announcement of Mr.. Henry has
precipitated the prohibition issue, and
it will be fought out in congress next
winter. A formidable movement to
defeat him for the craftsmanship of the
rules committee win be under way with
in a short while, anti-saloon advocates
predict. and it is believed that his re-
election is in doubt.

But all these foreign outrages, from

one and the same cause-a pitifully
weak attitude upon the part of the
present occupant of the White House
that has invited their perpetration.
