People Generally Have Mistaken Idea About Insect, Says Scientist Who
 Ought to Know.

The earwig, one of the most familiar types of insect life found in garden and field, has been much maligned So says w Harold s Cheavin, F. R. M. S., a well-known British scientist
 A great dislike for the earwig has existed for centuries because of belief that it delights to creep into the human ear and cause death The name, says Professor Cheayin, probably helps to keep alive this idea, which is absurd to ent0mologists He contends that in sect5 considerably smaller than the earWig would have trouble in entering the human ear and in nearly every at tempt would fail The earwig is a fourth of an inch long
 That it k chiefly responsible for damage to pet plants is another ab- surd idea about this insect. says Pro lessor Cheayin. Research proves that it is 9 boon, and not a pest. feeding largely on aphides and plant lice. and preferring dead insects to fruit or vegetables.

Child's Allowance.

Should boys and girls have their own allowance, in proportion to the means of the parents as soon as they are old enough to know the value of money? This is what many a parent has said in substance:
 Certainly An allowance is the best safeguard against the habit of ex- travagance, if the child is taught to spend the money mdiciously and to keep a strict account of all expendi- lures. It is absurd to think that boy Is not capable of buying his own neck. ties or girl her handkerchiefs. What If they do make mistakes? They can be taught to profit by them and they must learn to rely upon themselves sooner or later Children like to be trusted and will seldom betray conf dence"

JAlLS ARE EMPTY.

The Telegram (Wheeling, w. Val, speaking enthusiastically of the changed conditions in Wheeling, tells us that "On the Sth of July the pris- oners were so thoroughly cleaned out of the workhouse that when the jail officials sent for some men to clean the jail there were not enough men in prison to do it, and the jail officials had to do the work themselves.
 One instance is related of former leader of the vets who is in the gro- cery business. A man who had owed him . grocery bill for four years came in the first pay day after the saloons were closed and gave him $10 on his account. He explained that now that he could not spend his money for booze, he would have it to pay his honest bills. Similar incidents are re- lated by the hundreds from all over the state.

EXTERNAL REVENUE"

"We are told that we must have the liquor traffic for the revenue it yields for the vast sum that flows annually into the coffers of the na- tion through infernal-internal rev enue,' said Michael Tanning in mas terly address in Salt Lake City. Who pays this revenue? Not the liquor dealer. The average liquor dealer in the United States last year took in $S,700 and paid out an average of $520, the difference being the liquor dealers toll. This, in the last analysis, is paid by starving wives, besotted husbands, helpless orphans, betrayed maiden hood, blasted careers, wreck, ruin, de spair ard death."

PEOPLE BE TRUSTED.


 The reason why governments have not done and are not doing their duty toward the suppression of alcohol is, in the last analysis, says Congressman Hobson, based on the absence of pub lie opinion on the part of the masses as to the true nature of alcohol and the appalling results that come from it's use" And pr. T D. Crothers the noted expert on alcoholism, declares that If the actual effects of alcohol were known by the people, prohibiting it's use would follow as a natural and reasonable demand" To bring to the people knowledge concerning the na- ture of alcohol and it's effects upon the individual, the family, the state, is the purpose of the organized campaign of education now being carried on throughout the land from remote coun- tryside to halls of congress. Given the facts, the intelligent people of this nation will soon settle the liquor question and settle it right. Bring the truth to the masses!

PENN'S ELEVEN WORKS
HARD FOR BIG GAMES
With Navy and Pittsburgh to
Face, Coaches Speed Up
Men to Limit

The University of Pennsylvania football
team had the hardest practice of the
season this afternoon in preparation for
the Navy game Saturday at Annapolis
It was all the result of a meeting of
the board Of coaches last night, at
which it was decided that the team had
not had enough hard work to get it into
good physical condition. Lack of con-
dition is one of the things to which the
coaches attribute the defeat by State.
When the men reported this afternoon
they first had brief preliminary drill in
such rudiments as tackling, charging. etc.
Then the first eleven was sent through n
signal drill, which lasted for more than
an hour. 1t was followed by an old
fashioned scrimmage between the varsity
and scrub eleven. Only the cripples
were spared the necessity of taking part
in the scrimmage.
The Quakers are not so much afraid
of the Navy as they are Of Pittsburgh,
whose team comes here a week from
Saturday. Two members of the Pennsyl-
vania coaching staff saw the Pittsburgh
eleven wallop Navy last week. When
they were asked by the other coaches
who were Pittsburgh's best men they
replied:
''The stars OF the Pittsburgh team are
II men. Every man is star, and Penn
sylyania will have to play wonderful
football to beat them"
Howard Berry reported today, walking
without a limp. The coaches are per-
hitting him to take part in the signal
drills, but they will not let him get into
a scrlmmage. 1t is even doubtful II he
starts in the Navy game.
The Quaker coaches have decided not
10 play a practice game with Swarth-
more tomorrow. They would have liked
TO meet the Garnet. but the late hour
AT which the men are able to report
would make the trip to swarthmore a
waste OF time.

LEFT THUMB AND FIRST TWO
FINGERS FACTORS IN GOLF GRIP
Attempt to Keep Right Elbow Down Results in Cramped
Style-Comment of Women Players
of philadelphia
By JOHN ALBERT SCOTT

Mrs Ronald II. Barlow, semifnalist and
hhalist In national golf contests, was
nadiy on her game yesterday In tho
quahfytng round for the women's golf
Championship OF the Merton Cricket Clnb.
She turned In the largest card she has
had In tournament this season. But her
round was not without It's brilliant spots
On the nth she was i'm the swamps Of
the creek before the green, but Il only
took her two shots to hole out her ball
On the ninth she was on the edge OF
the green with her drive. but, after maxi
ing an approach nearly to the bulls eve
she missed the short try for three by
trimming the cup. And her fourth again
rmmed the cup but finally went down.
She played with Miss Eleanor Chandler
who likewise die not enjoy the best Of
days. Miss Chandler has fine wrist
stroke and plays with fine. free swing
through the fairway, but on the greens
she has fatal weakness with the put
ter. On tire llth she overran a 12-incr
putt and again missed coming back. As
soon as she can get a fair degree of
accuracy in this section Of her game
she Will be unbeatable
The prize score yesterday was 81. But
the player was like Paul Tewksbury, who
had Is going out one day and wished
he had stayed "out." For the fair golfer
that made the 81, scored It for the first
nine holes The highest score for one
hole was l6. One player had three 14S
ON her card and had a number of los
sprinkled in.
Miss G.. Clayton, in the excitement Of
being followed by Mrs. Barlow. had a
terrible argument with the 18th hole. She
scooped her drive and banged her second
into the creek. She went in pits and
more creek till she finally got a nine for
the hole. the largest score, she says, she
has ever made on this par three hole.
Her partner was no less furried, but
managed to win out with an eight.
Miss Alta Phipps, winner of the low
gross and low net score, was in the last
pairing. She was the only one 70 put her
ball souarely and fairly on the nth green
on the drive. 1t is 225-odd yards. but
she seemed to make no undue effort to
accomplish the deed. Her ball was
headed to hole out, but 1t stopped short
and it took three puts to run down the
last three feet
Grover c. the Great, an ardent golfer,
had a round on Sunday with Sherwood
Magee and Tom Mcnamara, open cham
pon of this city, at Boston The hop
Alex gets on his curves is likened by
James Barnes to a topped mashie shot.
Alex says If he could have heaVed all
the topped mashie shots at the Red Sox
that he uncorked against Mcnamara on
Sunday ne would have won the game
easily yesterday. Pitcher RiXey, also an
eager golfer, is itching to fire n few
hooks and slices into the Red SoX. ne
has all his shots these days, he says.

Several weeks ago W. e. Humphries'
chairman of the Panama Exposition
Sports Committee, and Bill Lange, the old

players on all teams who had a chance
to win the pennant. The National Com
mission heard OF the plans, held meet
ing and decided that they would not sane
tion the trip, threatening with suspension
with heavy fines If its rule was not
obeyed. Several players of the two teams
then made plans TO go with other barn
storming teams regardless of the Ma
tlonal Commissions threat,
Alexander the Great, Killefer, Burns
and Bancroft had informed President
Baker that they were going whether they
liked 1t or not Manager Carrigan found
conditions the same In the Boston club,
so II was decided that II would be much

Charging up and down the field is the
pest work for the line men. Place all of
the candidates on the goal line and at a
s,shai' either by clapping the hands,
shoutlng GO or swapping the ball, all
should lunge forward and run five wards
inc men should come to a complete STOP
line up again and go from chalk mark to
chalk mark until the opposite goal line is
crossed. Then, after short rest, return
IN the same manner. One round trip will
be sufficient for the days work.
In lining up, the line men should take
the positions they assume In a regular
game. The position depends entirely on
the man. Allow them to take a natural
attitude and improve on It II necessary,
Don't force man to take a position that
Is awkward to him, If IL is not according
10 form. Develop the natural abilities
OF the players. 1t Will pay In the end.
The men should play low, be able 10
start quickly and make a powerful lunge
forward. If man can do this il doesn't
matter If he starts with his left or right
foot, so long as he does IT, Form is
all right in its place. but should not be
adhered to II it is not adaptable to the
player
BACK FIELD PRACTICE.
For the back field men. would advise
the same sort of practice, but increase
the charging distance to 20 yards The
I
| that is, bending forward, one leg behind
the other and the tips of the fingers rest
| ing on the ground. The men must start
quickly, and a few of these 2O-yard
dashes each day will increase the speed
| quicker than anything else. These two
things are very important and should be
practiced every day of the football sea-
| son.
As has been stated before, the object
| oe the game of football is advancing the
| ball by one side while the other tries 10
prevent II. When a player gets the ball,
/ there are II opponents on the field, all
| possessed of the same desire-to tackle
| him and hurl him to the ground for a
| loss The players on the runners side,
! however. block these men of, giving the
/ man with the BAH more OF an opportunity
| to make a run.
The first thing to learn in interfering
| for runner is TO AVOID THE USE OF
/ YOUR HANDS. Keep your arms close
TO your body when blocking an opponent
/ and many penalties for Illegal use will
| be eliminated. Another thing to remem-
Der is TO leave your feet and dive at the
/ first man who comes near you Don't
/ try to bowl over one man and then go
after another You probably win miss
both and see the runner tackled for a
/ loss.
Blocking with the body is the best
means 10 get an opponent out of the
way This is made by STOPPING over and
/ hurting the body so as 20 hit tho would
! be taekler with the side or the hip.
Blocking with the legs also is good. but
the new ruling this year makes Il hard
;, to avoid committing a foul For that
reason IL is best TO forget IT, although
It was one OF the best things In the
offensive and defensive game. Another
method OF blocking is TO use the shoulder
10 meet man who Is coming toward
I you. This Is a simple method to get an
4 opponent out or the way, but not 50
effective as the body block.
