rageous fortune. For there is nothing
that forms quite such wonderful pro.
lection as that sheer self-satisfaction
which sees nothing finer beyond its
own narrw sphere.
The truly vain man is very often
envied by his more diffident COM
panions. Their envy does not spring
from respect for his qualifications.
nor necessarily from desire to hold
his particular position in life. But
they do envy him his calm complac-
ency, than which there is no more
comforting or soprific thing in life.
All men are vain on the subject of
their particular business success. The
vanity of the self-made man is almost
too well known to mention. He never
tires Of telling you of his early days
and the dreadful struggle he had, and
how he educated himself and how
everything turned out splendidly
through his own wonderful persever-
ance, and how very few men could
have some through what he came
through and finished ion top. There
really is nothing to equal his SNUG
cOmplacency. And it is the finest
armor he could possibly own.
The vanity of men, then, Is some
thing quite definite and quite ma
terial, although in each case it varies
very widely. For each has his own
particular weakness. And whether
men in general really are vainer than
women is a question which admits
of no definite conclusion.

Four Alabama Regulars on Injured List
Coach Kelleys Illness Casts
 Gloom Oyer the Crimson Camp
Former Star Aiding Perfectng TeamFour Regulars Will Be Out of Game Saturday-Things Look Dark for "Or
 phans '-Sewanee Will Be Given Hard Fight

Crimson in preparing for the sewanee game and this week will see several vet erans of by-gone days at work on the Alabama campus. The efforts of these veterans, however. will not be as valuable as might be supposed in view of the fact that Kelley had inaugurated a who'll ly new system of play and his assistant coaches fear to attempt to relearn their warriors the old Alabama style this late in the season.
 Present indications point to the fact that Alabama. will be forced to meet the Purple and White minus the services of four veterans. Barnette and Love have been suffering with fever for weeks and have no chance of getting into the setto. Basil Burke is out with a sprained ankle and a substitute will have to replace him at guard. Morton. the only veteran end on the Crimson machine. was seriously in jured in the Tulane game and even if he takes part in Saturdays scrimmage will be badly out of condition.
 Things look dark for the Orphans but there is no doubt about the fact that Sewanee will face individually the best gridiron machine that has represented Alabama in many moons.

 Upon inquiring among the people who live beside the stream for a distance of eight miles 1 learned that this same thing occurs about once year, and all the fish are killed off in the same manner. Some of the residents told me they were of the opinion that it was caused by the chemicals of one of the manufacturing plants on the banks of the stream, turn
 ing loose a great amount of accumulated chemicals that have been worn out through usage, but which have lost none of their poison. l think 1t is high time to have this matter investigated and something should be done for the protec- ton of the fish,
