The star athlete in any form of sport attains that distinction through hard and conscientious work. The man who achieves athletic distinction through latent ability alone is & rare exception. This is the opinion held by Eddie Mahan, former Harvard uni yersity football star, considered by many to be the best player ever seen on the gridiron and now coaching the backfield of the University of Cali fornia.
 Mahan is interested in Sunday school work, and in a recent address to the boys of a class connected with a Berkeley church said, among other things

Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head.
 Liner Glasses.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct {. Fran. cis Gilpin, sportsman and pioneer of the Pikes Peak region, is the owner of dog whose greatest joy Is to go fishing. MT Gilpin believes that his animal is the only dog in the world that will retrieve fish. At least he has never heard of any other. | When on his trout fishing trips MT. l Gilpin never carries a net with which to land his catches. As soon as he has made a strike, his dog runs into the water and when the fish Is reeled in will manoeuvre about in the water until it is within distance to bounce upon. The fish is then brought ashore l in the dogs mouth and laid beside the master. Not a blemish Is ever found on the fish as a result of the dogs teeth.
 Mack" is the name of the dog, and it is a liver and white Norfolk span. iel, weighing about seventy pounds. Mack is a product of George Gould's kennels in the east.
 MT. Gilpin is a member of the Chey- enne Mountain Country Club, and has lived in and about Colorado Springs for more than forty years. He has shot big game in the early days on what is a portion of the present site. of the city.
 In speaking of Mack, MT. Gilpin said: "The first time my dog re- trieyed a fish was quite astonishsd and not little annoyed at the action. but after the trick had been repeated several times it occurred to me not only as being unique, but as great aid to me in landing my catches Many a fine fish is lost just before the net | it put under it. but do not remember that Mack ever lost fish once it was hooked; and he has brought hun dreds ashore.
 "Once the fish is on shore Mack will not go near it. Apparently he dis likes the smell when they are out of the water. Frequently Mack will steal away all by himself and go on pri- vate fishing trips. I have found him several times standing in the water alertly watching for the opportunity to land a passing trout"
 Macks accomplishment is well known to all the residents of Colorado Springs, but to convince the skeptical visitor, MT. Gilpin has remarkable and interesting snapshots which have been taken of the dog in action.

PARTIAL VICTORY FOR SUFF'S|
HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS
ANTHONY AMENDMENT.
The Judiciary Committee Makes
Friends OH Both Sides by With
holding Any Recommendation.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Woman suf-
frage advocates won a partial victory
In their long fight to have the Susan
E. Anthony amendment voted on in
congress today when the house jul
dietary committee reported the meas
ure for consideration without recon-
mendation. A campaign now will be
launched to get q special rule to bring
the amendment before the house for
action, probably some time in Jam
uary.
Both s~uffragists II anti-suffragists
expressed satisfaction Over today's de-
velopment and are confident of victory
on the floor. The suffragists were
pleased because the committee, which
was generally regarded as hopelessly
against their cause, went as far Us it
did. On the other hand, their OPP
p%onents declare an opportunity 20
have the house vote on the issue in
evitably means Il defeat for suffrage,
which will settle the question nation
ally for many years.
The vote in favor of reporting the
resolution, II to 8, does not represent
the sentiment of the committee on
the issue. Some of it's bitterest enc
mics voted favorably, most Of them
confident Of seeing it beaten on the
floor and DESTROYS Of quieting charges
of "smothering" in committee.
One element Of the committee

CAMPAIGN AGAINST PEILAGRA
Public Health Service Reports Con,
siderable Advance i'm War ON This
Disease.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE annual
report of the public health service,
just made public here, contains much
valuable information relative to what
has been done during the last year
to stamp out pellagra wherever it has
been found. Says the report:
Activities ranging from the proven
ton and cure of blindness, scientific
-studies-esl observation-disclosures
the health Of industrial workers, the
prevention Of the introduction of
typhus fever, Investigations Of child
labor and health insurance, the eradi-
cation in communicable diseases and
the control of h pollution Of navi-
gable streams, are recorded and DEM
onstrate ~conclusively hat the national
government is vitality concerned in the
health of it's citizens.
1.-The most striking achievement of
the year relates to pellagra, an af-
Fiction which in certain States de-
strOys moro lives than tuberculosis.
Pellagra is no longer a disease of
mystery, as the public health service
has clearly shown that it is caused by
a restricted diet and that it nay be
prevented and cured by means of q
properly balanced ration. The prac-
tical application of this knowledge has
already resulted in Il material reduc-
ton in the prevalence of this afliction
in all parts Of the country and it is
confidently believed that in another
year even more marked improvement
will be observed"

FAMILIES RECEIVE $4,000 DAILY
Quartermaster General Says Fund of
100000 is Practically Exhausted.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE war de-
partment is paying out $4,000 a day
to the dependent families of enlisted
men of the regular army and Nation
al Guard, Major Gen. Sharpe, quarter
master general, told the house mill
tary committee today. The $1,000
600 fund for this purpose already
provided is virtually exhausted, he
added, and emergency legislation will
be asked to continue the payments
through the present month. If dis
bursemcnts continue at the present
rate a deficiency of nearly $1,000
600 will be shown by the end Of the
fiscal year.
The committee was told that more
than $4,000 men were expected to
take voluntarily military training at
the civilian training camps next year..
Nearly 10000 attended last summer.
Il am utterly opposed to these
camps" declared Representative Nc
Kellar. They are just delightful va
cations"
You would change your tune if
YOU went to one I'M took hat train
ing" replied Representative Kahn.
Representative Green brought out
the statement that it cost $6i.96 per
man to operate the camps and said
it could be shown that countries where
universal training was given paid no
such price. Gen. Sharpe agreed with
him.
