The people of Louisiana are to
vote next Tuesday on the question of
the holding of convention in Sep
tember to frame a new constitution
for the state. The need of the meas

ought to be held. IF its work does
not meet popular approval it can
be voted down, for the constitution
is to be submitted to the people for
their acceptance or rejection.

SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1915.

There are only twenty-four dele
gates allotted to Orleans parish IN
the proposed constitutional conven-
ton, barely one-ffth of the total
membership of 118. The professed
apprehension among opponents of the
convention that "the city ring" will
dominate the body and write what
it pleases into the constitution is
therefore unworthy of serious con-
sideration. As an esteemed contem-
porary sagely remarks, "The tail

FEW CHANCES .ARE .MADE
Nv FOOTBALL THIS FA//

Time was when the spectator at an
exhibition of the great college pastime
was almost forced to carry a rule
book in his pocket; not only to carry
it there but refer to it frequently to
keep up on the changes in the rules
of the varsity sport. The Football
Rules Committee this year did little
hewing on the general plan of the
game laid out a couple of years ago.
The principal alterations made for
the 1915 season are to clear up a few
undecided points that only a year or
two of actual use could make evident,
and to make the game more interest
ing for those who pay the admissions.
The changes in the rules for the
1915 season are as follows:
Interferers will no longer be per-
mitted to knock down the secondary
defense nor will the defense be per-
mitted to run into a man after the
whistle blows. This change means
that all action on the field will be
stopped Immediately after the Official
sounds his whistle. No longer will
PLAYER be bowlsd over fifty yards
from the scene of the tackle just be-
cause he happens to have his back
turned to the men of the secondary
defense.
No longer will throwing the ball
out of bounds be substituted for
kick. for forward pass going out of
bounds on a fly. whether it touches
man or not. is now ruled as an in
complete pass. The absence Of good
punter cannot under this rule be made
up by the presence of man who can
hurl the ball goodly distance.
University Missourian., 1915-09-13

nothing else handy.
He managed to keep out of the fry
ing pan for five weeks, during which
the savages fed him like a king, and
viewed his increasing weight with evi-
dent relish. The situation was becom-
ing bit embarrassing when the little
Norwegian steamer Thoms arrived.
Disguised behind five weeks
beard, Wood approached the Swedish
captain and asked for passage to
Honolulu. He told the captain he had
mansions in Los Angeles. and lots of
money. The captain elevated his beet
ling brows, but lowered them again,
growled menacingly. and finally con-
sented to let the society man work his
way to Sydney, Australia.
At Sydney, Wood told himself he
would cable home for a money bag
that would astonish the natives. But
he did not. He was unable to identi-
fly himself to the satisfaction of the
cable company, which wanted cash
for the message in advance. The
American consul wouldn't risk the
amount demanded.
Two weeks later WOOd-Overalls,
beard and all-asked for a job on the
liner Ventura. He got One-peeling
potatoes.
But he got his revenge. He obtain
ed money in Honolulu, and when the
Ventura came through on its next
voyage to California, he appropriated
the best suit and sat at the captains
right hand all the way to San Fran
cisco.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IMPROVED
Both Work and Play Are to Be Fea.
tured Under New Plans.

| The pupils of the Elementary
School will be able to play harder as
well as work harder during the COM
ing term, as the teachers are provid-
ing for both play and work. The play
ground has been enlarged and con-
siderable playground apparatus has
been put up. This consists of swings,
rings, see-saws, a bar, chute and a
giant stride. Arrangements are be-
ing made to add a running track, a
baseball diamond, tennis and volley-
ball courts and pole for tether-ball
A new steel fence adds to the appear
ance of the grounds.
The proceeds from 1.-The Muffin
Shop" have made it possible to add
some new decorations to the interior
of the building These consist of sew
eral new large pictures and bas re-
liefs.
Several changes have also been
made in the building to add to the
comfort and pleasure of both pupils
and teachers. Chief among these
is the enlargement of cloak room ia
cilities for the girls, made possible by
placing this room in the basement of
the building.
To enable the pupils to enjoy their
work more fully. about 200 new books
have been added to the library These
cover many fields of interest-animal
stories, fairy tales. fiction, adventure.
science and industry. Several new
magazines also have been subscribed
for. These are St. Nicholas, The
Youths Companion, The American
Boy, National Geographic magazine,
School Arts magazine, Bird Lore and
Current Events.

SOME HORRORS FOR MOTORISTS

Did you ever willingly use a hymn
book for a pillow? Or, from choice
sleep on church benchesy
That is what necessity, the moth
er of invention" provided for Mr.. and
Mrs. H. R. Showalter of indianapolis
the other night when they got stuck
in the mud near Columbia.
Somewhere between here and Mex
leo, the mud was too much for their
automobile; so they hunted for shell
ter from the driving rain The near
est place seemed to be the Grandview
Baptist Church
They took possession temporarily
and turned the light low, in order to
attract as little attention as possible.
AS Mrs. Showalter was cooking the
evening meal over her portable cook
ing outfit, two other stranded motor
lists stuck their heads through the
window. OF course trouble makes
friends. and they were invited in to
supper.
bibles and hymn books were moved
off the altar" says Mr.. Showalte7,
"and there We spread our evening
meal. After the dishes were washed,
| played the organ and all sang"
When the singing was over, and all
the stories exchanged, the marooned
travellers arranged the benches to-
gether and, with hymn books for pill
lows, passed the night in peaceful
slumber.
In the morning they had to build
bridge of planks over a little stream
about mile and half from the
Mexico gravel road. w. w. Charters,
who came over the same route, also
had similar experience. He says,
however, that a new concrete culvert
is being put in.
Mr. and Mrs. Showalter left for
Kansas City this morning, and from
there. they will go to San Francisco

JACK LONDON EXPERIENCE
FOR SOCIETY NCHTSMAN
By United Press.

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13.-warrer
ID. Wood, former commodore of the
South Coast Yacht Club. and a well
known Los Angeles clubman, is back
at his luxurious home here today after
a series of adventures in the south
seas calculated to make Robinson
Crusoe jealous.
Wood went to Honolulu six months
ago on pleasure trip. While there he
received an offer of the third mates
job on the British ship Krestle-and
accepted it-fOr lark
Then the Jack London stuff began.
When far out on the sea, Skipper
Tindle of the Krestle began to notice
that his third luff' shaved daily and
appeared on deck wearing silk neck
ties. The hardy skipper objected to
it. There were tense scenes and ex-
citing situations, with the use of be-
laying pins seemingly imminent.
Finally Wood saw that eventually
somebody would have to be knocked
into the lee scuppers and being an
athlete and hard as the proverbial
nails, he decided to quit his job rather
than hurt the captains feelings or
anything else. But it is difficult to
Quit a third mates iOh in the middl 10
of the South Pacific.
Wood was resourceful. One night
the Krestle dropped anchor off a
tropical isle. Wood hoped
into a ships boat and rowed ashore.
There he found a colony of cannibals,
who ate bananas when there was
