FOOTBALL OLD AND NEW.

When the football season closed
 Saturday with the Army and Navy
 game in New York it was found upon Examination of statistics that exactly ffteen young men had been sacrificed to the sport. Fifteen deaths in the entire season. An analysis of the hgures presented shows that the vast majority of these martyrs to the |sport were under the age of seventeen, |some as young as eleven years. In Ionly one case was d college player Killed, the captain of Knox. And in l the fourteen other cases it was dis |coyered the boys had played football withoub first undergoing a medical examination. It is therefore con- eluded that the new brand of foot ball is meant for those of maturer hge, that it is not advisable to play football without having first consulted reputable physician, that boys of tender age should be debarred from Following the pigskin. Football as

it is now played is far different game than that played before 1909 when the old order of things was abolished. It was then a "closed"
 game. Five yards to gain in three downs made itggood policy for teams to puck the line." And they did.
 AS result men were killed or maimed for life. In order to make the game an "open" one, the forward pass was introduced and ten yards set up as the distance to be gained in three
 downs. Later another down was added. End runs, forward passing, and a frequent exchange of punts, take all the ramming and battering out of the game, make it cleaner and better game. Even the death list for the past season will stand as g. defense. In the olden days the sea- sons dead and wounded would oc- cupy two and three columns of space in the newspapers. This seasons ac- count scarcely took a "stick and a half,' one hundred and fifty words, on the front page. Some difference between football old and football new

What Dyestuffs Did. Meri6or Tn1Irna1\

Military men of no other nation understood so fully as the Germans the potential use of the incredibly destructive eXplcsi1 es which arc made from the same products as dye Stufs-cOal-tar. Even after the Bat tic of the Marne, when the French and British in their trenches were biting their silrapnel shells against the "H. E. German shells, General Sir John French could not persua e the British war office that "high ex- plosive" was probably the decisive element in the war.
 Defeated in the war office, he turned to Lord NOrthcl who sent Colonel Repington, the military expert of his London Times, to the front to see the proof of General Frenchs contention. The result was the series of articles n the Times that made MT Lloyd George minister of munitions and set all the available works in Great Britain and the United States enlarging in order to increase their production of these high explosives.

 I want to say a word or two in re- gard to one of your editorials, which appeared in last Saturdays issue, under the heading: Playing the Game" Tn speaking ot gambler who migrated to Mexico and there laid loW' six men you go on to tell how square he was and what true shot he was, and furthermore you say that in this day of moving pie ture heroes, he would not be counted as a handsome man, for to begin with he was red-headed, and therefore not handsome, for no man with red hair | is handsome.
 This I want to emphatically deny , If you will look up history in the early ages you will find that the fair Setxons who came to this country under the guidance of Lief Erickson, Norwegian explorer, were "red- | heads" Tn a description of the men it states that they were a rough and 1 toughened sea-going crew, but hand some to look upon,-tall. muscular 1 and with reddish -colored hair. And what is more, if you will take a stroll through the streets of your 1 own town you will come upon a l number of so-called "redheads' who are invariably beautiful
 Also in the motion picture world YOU will find there are several stars who are considered handsome and who are "red-head' and if you will be more explicit as to sex l will will ing name them off.

Home Always Pays.
explosives
(Holyoke Transcript.)

Well, it's a home, and home all ways pays" That was rare bit of homespun philosophy that Henry L.. Ufford of Amherst offered in response to the question asked by the attorney for the Holyolle Street Railway com pany yesterday if the little farm the witness owns in Amherst was a paying proposition or not. Those fortunate enough to know expect him to make just such an answer. He i2 a natural philosopher and incidentally grand good citizen, who has done his full measure to make his town a better town than it was before he came to it. The New England towns of former days were rich in the possession of such men but the type has largely dis appeared.
 "A nome always pays" It is a hap py thought. The kind of a home that MT Ufford refers to is one of the few absolutely sure investments in life. It

is at once the refuge and the strength of the existence of a being. Other things to be included in the list of good investments is a clear conscience, a feeling that one is on the level with advertising the fact in the newspa- pers.
 One of the great fundamental han dicaps to right conditions in a mod ern city is the lack of home training
 and home conditions. In the space that might support a hundred homes there are ten thousand men, women and children huddled and living in an ever contracting circle. In each one
 of these at some time or other the de- sire to have a home burns bright but they lack the courage to take the
 plunge. The pioneer souls of their an- cestors have not survived to the pres
 ent generation.
 To those unfortunate who have never had homo in the sense that our Amherst philosopher means it,
 his epigram means little. But to the person who has had the benefit of the home training and environment, it means the best there is in life. You are more than a philosopher Brother l Ufford, you are a prophet of the day l to come when the truth will be | brought home to every person that | the basis of good living and good citi | Zenship is the good home and the 1 good home is not possible to be achieved by the desire for it alone.

We enter today the period of just a month which intervenes between Thanks giving and Christmas. Because that period is just a few days longer than it is in some years let no imprudence of procrastionatiO enter in to prevent early "preparedness'- word slips out unbidden.
 It has now been demonstrated that early preparation and buying for Christmas is not a fad, but an excel lent habit that ought to be cultivated. It's virtures are so obvious, and have so often been exploited, that they should not need further emphasis. Not self advantage alone, though there is plenty of that, but consideration for others, urges it's formation. It blesses in both directions,
 A. month is none too long for what must be done. There are many, how ever, who simplify, or at least sys- tematize, their Christmas preparation now. They have the money banked. They have their lists. They will find the Christmas stocks early ready for them. richer than ever in their variety and abundance. The stores and their workers are ready to serve. But the discriminating Christmas shopper years departs further from the so- called Christmas stocks.

 Nov. 29, 1915. To the Editor of the Herald
 Sir: In Saturdays Herald I read an editorial entitled: "Playing the Game" in which is stated that mo nan with red hair is handsome" To my mind that is a pretty broad asser- ton. Personally I know of many men who have red hair and while some are not what you would call good looking, many of them are hand some. Some of the best specimens of manhood are red haired men. I trust that you will publish this letter so that all your readers may not be mis- guided and form a poor opinion of red heads For the most part they are pretty good fellows.

NO matter how much we may abhor prlZenghts we cannot stop them by foofshly rushing to the ringside and ordering the combatants out of the roped arena. Neither can we pre- vent f1stic com bats by prayer and supplication. If these smaller affairs are hopelessly out of the reach of the paclnsts how much more so is the european struggle and what little clance has Henry Ford and his crew or the Oscar II to bring the boys out or the trenches before Christmas?

WHEAT

Already a noticeable f1uctuation has taken place on the American mark ct
 because of the Canadian government S action Saturday in communicating g nearly twenty million bushels of var ious grades of wheat for direct sale and transport to Great Britain and her Allies. Early reports from Chicago and Minneapolis today in- dlcate that wheat took an upward turn in both these great American markets December wheat going to 1o1, May wheat reaching 1O4, both substantial gains over Saturdays close. Expert opinion, however, pre- dlcts that there will be but slight nuctuation in the American market from now on because greater quan- utles of wheat held by the farmers will be released for immediate de- livery. There has been an enormous supply of grain this year both in the tinted States and Canada and there Has been httle coml ttitive bidding. This has tended to keep the nrico of grain down. Aside from inc huc. tuations which have already fake, place on the American wheat mar ket there are liable to be no more material consequence because of the canadian governments action.
