The First Quarter.

Mount Pleasant won the toss and
Wygle kicked off for keokuk. Thorn
as of Mount Pleasant, received the
ball but the team lost on downs. Keo-
kuk could make no progress either
and kicked on the fourth down. After
a great deal of scrimmage, the Mount
Pleasant team pushed through to
Keokuk's ten yard line just as the
quarter ended.
In the second quarter, the home
team was held on the one yard line
by a desperate effort by the Purple
and White, after which Wygle kicked
KeokulS out of danger. Captain Hars-
barger, however. soon carried for
ward pass through twenty-five yards
Of interference for the first touchdown
and then kicked goal. Following this,
the M P. team used the forward pass
several times successfully. till the
end of the half.
All the big stuff came in the third
quarter. Thomas of NJ. P, early in
the quarter pushed through for an
other touchdown, after the ball ha
been placed within easy distance OF
the goal line by consistent gains.
Goal was not kicked. When NJ. P.
kicked off to keokuk after this score,
Wygle carried the ball eighty yards
for Keokuk's only score
The only lively incident in the
fourth quarter was when Young took
a forward pass thirty yards for anoth-
er touchdown, which was not allowed
when the umpire ruled that he was
not eligible to receive the ball.

LINCOLN, Nebr.. Oct. 23.-With a
final score Of 20 to 10. the Nebraska
corn huskers today defeated Notre

much better and Notre Dame was
much superior on the offensive.

after graduation. At their worst,
schools balloon a child's capacity at
points where it is most elastic, and
fail utterly to stretch the construct
ing bands which limit it as certain
ly as does short cord about the
middle of wheat sack.
When b value of developing
physical strength is apprehended,
there is likewise danger of the in
stitution of false standards. Physi-
cal culture faddists are prone to
worship false gods, for their own
mental training is likely to have
been lacking and left them without
fair sense of proportion.
Just as mind culturist is most
fascinated in developing the mind
of naturally bright pupil, SO is
the physical culturist most interest
ed in making physical freak out
Of the boy or girl with a we'll born
physique. The result is too often
an overdeveloped heart and a pre-
ternaturally large pair of lungs, far
too large for the demands of ordi-
nary pursuits.
When the owner of such lungs
and heart enters upon a sedentary
Office career, as he is quite likely to
do, disaster is constantly invited.
For, be it known, Nature abhors
and attempts to annihilate over
developed tissue not fully exercised.
Thus it is that we read with sur
prise of the death from pneumonia,
tuberculosis and heart disease Of
famous athletes in what shou d be
their very prime.
After ali, balance is the price and
reward of successful education.

FALSE VALUES IN CHILDREN S
TRAINING

We are apt in schools, as else
where in lite, to put wrong empha-
sis upon values. There is the per-
feet attendance ideal, for example.
Too much worship at this shrine
drives Johnnie and Mary to school
with beginning scarlet fever or
other dangerous disease, to endan
ger the lives of the other children
as we'll as their own.
Then there is the struggle for
high marks" too frequently won
at the expense of red cheeks, robust
bodies, and that invaluable asset, a
perfect balance Of the nervous sys-
TEN. While it is we'll for every
child to be held to his best in schol-
arship, sight should not be lost of
the fact that his best" stops short
of the ruination of his physical
equipment.
To too many parents education is
looked upon as an end rather than
as one of the means to the end.
This is particularly so in the in
stance of parents who have them
selves felt the sting Of want in
scholarship, and this includes, in
some measure, eVerV parent not ut
terly lacking in intelligence.
At best, schools only stretch and
mold child's physical and mental
capacity, thinning out here and
adding reinforcement there What
the school puts into child's head
isn't half so important as is the
question as to whether or not the
school bas lessened or increased
the carrying capacity of the pupil

.REMovlNe TAR FROM GAS.
This Problem Has Always Presented
Great Difficulty.

The problem of removing all traces
of tar from gas has always presented
certain difficulties and from expert.
ments recently carried out it would
seem that an electrical method is
likely to solve the problem. The
principle introduced is similar to that
used in the smelling industry for the
precipitation of lead and other
fumes.
A specially constructed electrode,
from which high tension direct cur
rent discharges emanate, is suspend
ed in a cast iron inverted U-tube,
constructed from standard eight inch
pipe covered on the outside with a
jacketing of felt. The arms of the u
tube are each nine feet long. The
electrode consists of two cast iron
disks four inches in diameter and
placed five feet eight inches apart,
connected by means Of a light gas
pipe. Fine discharge wires are
stretched from disk to disk in the
form of a squirrel cage. The high
tension discharge has the effect Of
causing all the tiny particles Of tar to
bo precipitated.

to depend upon difference in tissue re-
