the final moments Of play are too often
ascribed to mere good fortune. The

Is skill that makes the most out of q

the easiest thing in the world for a

intercepted the pass or picked up the

that just as soon as one Of those

"Shoestrins" Plays Futile.
Close victories Of big elevens over
smaller ones-that Of Princeton over
Rutgers recently, for instance-are
very often due to the "breaks Of the
game that are the direct result Of
the reckless style Of play adopted by
the minor team. With everything to
gain and nothing to lose. the small
elevens have altogether too much re-
course to 'shoestring" plays, and when
one Of these plays is successful and con
verted into a touchdown the cry goes
up-"Luck"
A "shoestring' attack at best pre-
sents nothing more than a gamblers
chance and leaves all kinds of open
ings for break in favor of the other
fellow. If Rutgers had relied more on
its straight plays there might have
been a different story. for. except at

MERELY PITY.

The practical weakness Of the
vast mass Of modern pity for the
poor and the oppressed is precisely
that it is merely pity. The pity is pitt
ful. but not respectful. Men feel
that the cruelty 10 the poor is kind
Of cruelty to animals. They never
feel that it is injustice to equals.
Nay. it is treachery to comrades.

WAR CAUSES MOUSE PLAGUE

Prince Metternich to Nine. de Lie
ven. From Judenburg, small town
in Syria, the prince writes: ''The
burgomaster here has been expatiat-
ing to me on the large amount of
damage done by mice to farms in
the surrounding district. On inquir-
ing how long they had been afflicted
in this way I was told, Since the
French were here DO you mean
to tell me the French brought mice
with them?' I asked. No. replied
the burgomaster, but they ate SO
much bread that they covered our
fields with crumbs, and since then all
the mice in Syria appear to have
settled here"

MAJ. kutz briefly reviewed the his
tory OF the Calvert Street and klinele
ROAD bridges. saying that the bridges
nave been the subjects of much mis-
apprehension. Both bridges, he said,
were built about twenty-five years ago,
OF wrought iron with steel pins, ac-
cording to the best ideas of bridge
building in those days. Experts who
examined the bridges in 1911, the Com
missioner declared. found them entire
~ adequate and capab BILE of carrying not
only all they carried. but much heav-
Ter burdens if necessary.
Inc Commissioners have since the lat
ter date taken every precaution to keep
the bridges perfectly safe. Maj. kutz
assured the citizens, and all doubts as
to their safety should be dspelled
Nv lille the Calvert Street bridge is

Commissioner KutZ had taken 4 good
look at his famous map showing the
overlapping boundaries of citizens as
sociat tons before he came to the meet
ing last night. and proceeded to tell
the association II, a good humored way
that the jurisdictions claimed by the
Chevy Chase and Pinehurst associations
lie wholly within the boundaries
claimed by the Connecticut avenue cit
liens. and that all of the Connecticut
avenue citizens territory lies within
that claimed by the Citizens Northwest
Suburban Association.
Connecticut avenue has received good
treatment a the hands of the Commits
sioners. Maj. Kutz pointed out. During
1914 more than 800 trees We're planted
in this section of the city. and so far
in 1915 more than 100 trees have been
set out. The section has also received
it's share of attention from the sewer
department AS to the engine house
asked by the citizens. Maj. Kutz de-
clared that the Commissioners would
have the engine house constructed be-
fore the citizens can possibly have any
apparatus to put in it The section 5

tanning requests for suburban improve
