 REDUCE TUITION New Entries Fell Off and
 Removals Increased $500 WAS TOO STEEP So It Was Reduced to $1000 and Now the Commoners Are Invading AristOcracy's Sacred Pre- cincts
$500 WAS TOO STEEP

London, October 2-(Special.) )--Even the
 richest are feeling tho economic pressure
 of the war. One result of this has been a great~falling off of applications of new
 boys fo~ admission to Eton, England g most famous and arlstrocratic prep school, where the sons of kings and dukes are educated. At the close of the summer term at Eton in July last the number of applications received for the admission of
 new boys only amounted to 27. which was about 90 under the average. The fees for
 boy at Eton are s1500 per annum; and in the spring of this year an influentially signed circular was addressed to the gov ernors of the school suggesting that the fees should be reduced to 5000. The King did not sign the circular but his majesty personally saw pr. Lyttelton, the head master of Eton, on the subject and ex- pressed his strong conviction that if the fees were not reduced there would soon be big falling off in the numerical strength of the school
 But the governors would not reduce the fees; they declined to do so largely on the ground that if this were done classes | of boys hitherto debarred from Eton by | the high fees would be sent there and | that the school would lose its reputation
 among the wealthy and arstocratic classes
 But at the end of the summer term not only did the applications for the admission of new boys drop enormously, but the number or removals jumped up 100 over the normal figure.
 The governors of Eton were then faced

DATE CHANGED FOR MEETING SOUTHERN LEAGUE OFFICIALS President Baugh Will Alt tend Meeting of Minor Leagues-Date Set as
 December 15

It was announced at President Baugh' s |office yesterday that the meeting of the Southern league directors, scheduled for October 30 had been postponed until December 15. on account of Messrs. Shropshire and Aliens inability to attend |the meeting.
 President Baugh stated last night that no matters of special importance were scheduled to come up at the postponed meeting, as none of the matters required attention at the present, he decided tc hold matters off until the annual meeting on December 15 in Birmingham. MT. Baugh will also attend the meeting of minor league baseball officials in Sar Francisco, leaving Chicago on a special train of baseball officials on November 4 On board the train a meeting of the na- tional board of arbitration will be held daily In observation car. Mir. Allen and Mir. Shropshire will not accompany MT
 Baugh as announced as they are already
 on their way to Frisco. The meeting oi National Association of Minor leagues will last several days. Some of the best known baseball magnates in the United States will attend.

Mississippi gave Auburn hard game last year, even though she had been defeated by Kentucky State. Thus, though Missis : sippi showed little offensive strength against Kentucky. it should not be taken to mean that the Aggies are weak, for they are probably saving a great deal for Auburn.
 One thing that causes Auburn a little joy is the fact that the majority of the players came through the Clemson game in fair shape. Coughman just at present Is unable to attend practice, but his in- jured leg is expected to round to in time for the Mississippi game. Thus if no in- juries are received in the practice this week Auburn should be in good shape to meet the Aggies. Auburn has only one let up during the rest of the season. and that comes in the way of a game with Mercer. After the game with Mississippi, Auburn meets Georgia, and after the Mercer game Auburn meets Vanderbilt in Birmingham and closes with Georgia Tech in Atlanta. From this it will be noted that Auburn has stiff schedule to fol. low the next few weeks. But these games lay in the future and the game with Mis- sissippi is almost at hand, hence the ma jority of the time of the Auburn coaches is devoted toward making possible a vic tory over Mississippi. and they are not discounting Mississippi's strength either, for they know that Mississippis record previous to the annual Auburn game means very little. They always give Au- burn strenuous fight.

Pity the Poor Stacker

From the Washington Star.
 All signs seem to portend a poor ex- istence for the stacker in- England for the rest of the war period Gld perhaps for years after, if there is any way by which he can be recognized As show
 ing how sensitive the public has be- come, here is an incident that came the
 writer's way last evening. He was re- turning home in the subway late at
 night, when there entered a fine look
 Ing man of about 30. He was dressed richly, but quickly; in fact, in a way
 that before the war or, for that matter, six months ago. would have attracted
 no ones attention
 On this occasion. however, every
 woman in the car and most of the elder
 ly men immediately began to look him
 over with plainly evident disapproval
 and to stare him out of countenance.
 There were other young men in multi
 in the train, and the writer looked this
 particular man over carefully to find a reason for the discrimina- tion against him. He finally de- cided that it was due to his spats which fitted with a perfection not ofter seen. Now in normal times, every Tom Dick and Harry who can collect 60 cent. wears spats and never attracts the leaa bit of attention. Yet these subway pas SenSefS seemed 10 IaSten upon tnlS pdl with almost Imaginable ferociety.

 CatOn's Regulars Out

The Howard college eleven will meet the Blountsville Aggies on the Howard athletic field, Underwood avenue and seventy-fourth street. Friday afternoon at o'clock for what is predicted to be hard fight
 Under the guiding hand of Kirk Newell,
 the Aggies' new coach, the farmer lads
 have a stronger and better aggregation
 than they have put out in the past few
 years. From all reports, Newell has his
 huskies doing real team work and the
 Crimson and Blue warriors are expecting
 to meet real opposition when they charge
 the heavy line of farmers on the local field Friday.
 That Howard expects victory, is very evident on the Crimson and Blue fie1i but from the fact that the Aggies tiec the Alabama preds and Howard onl, scored one touchdown, there is plenty oi room to doubt the Baptists' ability foi

Compulsory Volunteering

From the Washington Post.
 Senator Beveridge said the other day in Washington
 "The English volunteer system. as it is now conducted, reminds me of the old story from Bolivia.
 'Women in England today hand white feathers to young men who haven't volunteered. These young mer are booed in the streets and theatres A young Englishman out of uniform is apt to be called a coward by every pretty girl who passes.
 Under these circumstances the Eng fish volunteer system reminds me o1 the Bolivian general who set out on g recruiting expedition. He wanted vol unteers to put down a rebellion. We'll after he had been gone about week he sent the war office this telegram:
 Volunteer spirit splendid. Am for warding by steamer 150 volunteers Please return the handcuffs.'

Kitchen Clothes

From the Mothers s Magazine
 Many women adept in selecting street. afternoon or evening clothes fall short in the matter of choosing suitable gar mcnts for wear in the kitchen. They think torn, soiled shirtwaists, half worn, greasy skirts and buttonless, down-at- the-heel boots good enough for the kitchen, or they wear the cheap, ugly frocks and aprons that are sold in num- berless thousands. They look like slov- ems, or like scarescrows. There is no ex- cuse.
 Unless laundry work or scrubblng is to be done, there is no reason why working clothes should not be as pretty as other clothes. This does not mean as expensive but prettier materials can he bought for the same money. If women will search the wash goods coun- ters they will find a bewidering array of pretty prints ginghams, linens, crepes. batistes and lawns. all low in price. and many suitable for house wear
 A pale, pink. blue or lavender dress is much more to be desired than an ugly dark one. Trimmed with bits of mod eratcly priced lace, it can be made to look far removed from the tiresome wrapper or house dress of coarse ma terial and outlandish fashion. The same with aprons. Why homsly materials when there are so many light checks and figured cloths that can be made into bungalow aprons or jaunty breakfast, afternoon or tea aprons?
 Women-young women especially should see that their house dresses and aprons are fresh and good to look at.
 Light colored clothes are just as easy to launder as dark, and they have the added advantage of looking prettier after ironing. It pays to look fresh. crisp and clean when engaged in household du- ties.

It was but shortly after assuming the presidency of the University of Alabama that George H. Denny conceived the idea that if the State university was to boost its athletic stock it must revolutionize it's system of conducting athletics. Under the old regime there was an absence of system about athletics which didn't meet the appreciation of the new president. Dr. Denny therefore proceeded to map out new order of things. However, he Is adverse to the unduly sensational, and he adopted system of evolutionary rev. olution. which was gradual in process. but which has emerged therefrom this fall with the old system obsolete and with athletics at the State university on a sound business basis.
 Standing behind the new athletic sys- tenn at the university this year and ma nipulating it's machinery are Head Coach Thomas Kelley, Assistant Director Lon

 Coach Kelley already has won place in the hearts of Alabama students. His success thus far this season has removed all doubts as to his ability as a grid iron leader of true caliber. He Is not likely to work miracles, but he bids fair to give Alabama this season repre- sentative eleven and one of which hey alumni may well be proud.
 Lonnie Nooiin is too well known to Alabama sport lovers to need an intro- duction. and the same may well be said of Hugo Friedman.
