SPEEDY RUSH LINES
BOLSTER UP OFFENSE
Tigers Coach Aims to Offset Great
Defense of Harvard and
Yale Teams.

PRINCETON, N J., October %
Speedy Rush sent the Tiger team
through the hardest practice Of the
week yesterday afternoon, although
the actual time of scrimmage was lin
tied to a half hour. Drill in signals and
rudimentary work constituted the
greater part of the practice. and the
fnsfstent way in which Rush went after
his men in these essentials left them
too played-out to go through any long
scrimmaee. Rush's policy becomes
more and more evident as the days roll
nv His great aim now is to prepare
the Tigers with an offense which can
cone with the defenses Harvard and
Vale have to offer, and he does this
by giving them daily drills in the rudi-
meuts to eliminate all the mis-
takes. such as fumbling. and then send
ing them against the scrubs to see how
they profit in actual scrimmage by the
drill which comes beforehand.
This was the way in which the prac-
tice was carried on, and all the first
team lined up against the scrubs. Ihey
showed considerable Improvement on
the attack and went up the field twice
in two periods without single fum Bile.
The lineup was practically unchanged,
save that Red" Lambertson was shift
ed back again to end. whore he showed
to good advantage This change was
caused by the ready list of first string
backs on hand and the temporary
dearth. of high-class wing material
Whether or not he will remain at end
for the rest of the season Is only prob
Iematical
While the first team and the scrubs
were mixing up the second team was

team and found 1t comparatively easy
to carry the ball up the field for two

back fleld of the second team, and his
work ut buckins the line was the fea-
ture Of the day.

Nature Of Genius.

Men may, he says, with Cincinnatus,
prefer blowing to war and statecraft,
but they are not able to follow their
bent. They are possessed of an in
satiable desire to be at work in what
ever their line may be. Those who
conquer nations and found empires
are not moved by ambition. They
are moved by the enormous force of
vitality which struggles within them
and must find a way out. Cicero was
more Intellectually nimble than Caesar.
Ben Jonson had more learning than
Shakespeare Babeuf's intentions were
better than Bonaparte's Che lost his
head for them). Sir Harry Vane was
q far more logical revolutionary than
Oliver Cromwell. What was there IN
the four great men l have named
which brought them to the front? Had
they any gift in common, setting them
apart from other men? Yes, one,
and one only. Not deep insight, not
high moral purpose, not desire for
fame. They did not become super
men by studying for the position, not
by taking thought and laying careful
plans. They came to the front with
out appearing to make any effort to
get there-because they were more
alive than other men.-T. P.'s Weekly.

and with embroidery in colors, as web
as white, on white ground. Wolfe is
manufactured in an endless variety OF
embroidered patterns.
The underskirt, in the dress pic
tured, is fitted about the hips and cut
with a moderate flare. 1t is finished
with a three.inch hem. The tunic Is
fitted to the figure by means Of tucks,
graduated in length and extending be-
low the hips. They are shorter at the
front. The tunic dips a trifle at the
front, and this slight dip is repeated in
the bodice.
The bodice is cut like plain blouse,
with the fullness gathered in at the
bottom and confined under a girdle
made of the embroidered scallops. It
fits the figure vaguely like a short
jacket. The neck is finished with q
turnover collar of lace, and the same
lace is used for the puffs and frills
about the sleeves.
A silk scarf tie finishes the dressing
of the neck. This design is one that
seems as well suited to the matron -
TO the maid. and nothing prettier can
be found for graduation gowns or for
the useful white dress for midsummer.

That very graceful garment, the long
tunic, which appeared and took the
world of fashion by storm late last
summer, is with us again. Sometimes
it is an overdress as long as the under
skirt, but often it hardly differs at all
from the tunic Of last season. The
skirt under it has grown wider, al
though it Is often considerably mar.
rover than the tunic. But it may be
equally wide, and in either case is
good style.

NOT SABBATH FOR THE RABBI

"A gable, the special messenger Of

conversation fell upon the subject Of
miracles. Il heard Of a wonderful
rabbi" said one of the villagers, who
performed great miracles. One day he
was out walking. when clouds gath

It commenced to rain. The rabbi did
not have an umbrella with him, and,
not wishing to get drenched he ut.
tered a command. And to the right
of him and to the left of him it
rained, in back Of him and in front of
him it rained, but where the rabbi
walked 1t did not rain
The villagers were greatly I'M
pressed. but the gable made little of
the matter.
That's nothing compared to what
my rabbi did one day." he said. He
went out driving in carriage one aft

sin to ride on the Sabbath, the rabbi
for q moment was perplexed what to

The Noisy Aeroplane.

An English writer raises a question
that has been altogether too generally
overlooked in designing aircraft. He
says: whether regarded as a mill.
tary machine Of one used for pleasure,
It is evident that from every point OF
view an aeroplane has everything to
gain from possessing a well-silenced
engine, and nothing to lose except the
fraction OF power wasted In the ex'
haust."
Nor is there any reason why an
aeroplane motor of the stationary type
should not be as effectively silenced
az that Of the modern motor car.
There is no improvement which would
render aviation more Immediately
popular.

Simplicity in Skirts.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist In the simple tailored suits the
skirts are made very plain. with more
or less flare around the hem. This
is introduced both in the gored and in
the semicircular models. A few skirts,
however, are shirred on at the waist
line. Some plated skirts are also in.
cluded in the orders.
In the dressy suits the skirts are
usually made on similar lines, the
plated effects particularly being pop
ular. In some instances these dressy
skirts are finished off at the bottom
with cordings. tucks. bias folds of the
material, silk braid or velvet ribbon.

Unkindness.

II we will remember unkindness, 1t
is we'll to begin with our own. Those
we have received are not usually one
sided, and the bitter words whose
memory stlngs were seldom entirely
without provocation. This, at least,
is true: If, on examining our animosi-
ties and resentments, we find our.
selves wholly blameless. 1t will at
once become easy to forgive. The per-
son hardest to pardon is the one
whom we nave wronged, and the
breach most difficult to heal is the one
where we are unwilling to face the
consciousness that half the guilt was
our own.

The freight master did give Fred the
chance, and after his first day in the
freight office there was no question
as to his fitness, as freight handlers
went, and for dollar a day he was
good bargain.
In the next thirty years circunl-
stances changed much with the gang
foreman of Fort Howard who got his
first Job with the railroad as freight
handler. After several years Of ap-
premiership in railroad matters, dur
ing which he rose from his first posi-
ton as freight handler in Fort Howard
to position as brakeman and clerk,
he was promoted to the position Of su-
perintendent OF the Chicago, Milwau.
kee & st. Paul railroad. From That
position he was appointed general su.
perintendent Of the Minneapolis, ST.
Paul & Sault Ste. Marie railroad, then
vice-president Of the Baltimore & Ohio
and now, for a dozen years, he has
been president of the Erie railroad.
In the offices of the Erie railroad
Frederick D. Underwood is kno&h as
the most democratic and unpretentious
Of men. It Is said-though he does moi
boast Of 1t himself-that he never for
gets the face Of anyone whom he has
ever known.
In the passenger station of the Erie
railroad station in Jersey City, one
morning few years ago, a grizzled
man in overalls stood waiting on the
platform. He was a brakeman in the
employ Of the company and he
watched nervously, anxiously, the mer
and women who thronged the station
from the incoming trains.

eagerness.

SAFETY IN USE OF ASBESTOS
Material Chiefly Valuable for Protec-
tIon Against Fire, But Has Many
Other Good Qualities.

Asbestos is potential lifesaver.
We do not all realize. perhaps, that
the fireproof theater curtain is made
Of asbestos, which is rock matter, but
nevertheless almost as soft and pill
able as cotton or wooden fabric.
Asbestos has, of course, many other
uses. Its incombustibility and its
flbrous structure make 1t one of the
most useful minerals for many and
various structural purposes.
1t is used In making lumber, roofing.
plaster and stucco.
Houses that are built largely of as
bestos afford their occupants not only
complete protection from fire because
1t is a 'nonconductor,' but assure
them also the comfort OF freedom from
extreme heat or cold.
The asbestos-producing industry Of
the United States is growing. For
many years we have been the greatest
manufacturers and users of asbestos,
drawing our raw material from Cana
da, but we are now getting some ex-
cellent fiber In our own country.
