Anything But a Highbrow

FROM the New IepuDllc.
No one really wants to be considered
high brow. The term itself, as Mr.. Van
Wyck Brooks says, is derogatory. Here
and there a person may be SO superior
as to be flattered by the derision of the
herd. Undergraduates like to think they
are. But a man has to be far gone in
superiority before he relishes the notion
of being avoided for it's sake. You can
not imagine man like Nietzsche try
ing to prove he had heart, any more
than you can imagine him shooting the
chutes at Coney Island. He is the kind
of Olympian whose dignity seems to have
been inherent. You would just as soon
drink beer out of porcelain as slap a
Nietzsche on the back. But the ordinary
Olympian, certainly in America, is more
anxious to show he is gregarious than
to protect his reputation for superiority
and intellect. You do not have to slap
him on the back, he slaps you. If he is
running for office, in particular. he wants
it to be known that blood, not ice water,
flows through his veins. He yearns to
indicate that he is good fellow. He
tells funny stories, has himself photo
graphed playing pinochle, is discovered
b. his interviewer sitting at the organ
singing Home, Sweet Home" A man
may have the temperament of hermit
crab in private life; in public life he must
smile cheerily when boilermaker
brushes his fingers and bellows;
Tommy put it there

ELCOCK PREPARES
GENERALS TO MEET
STRONG TECH TEAM
General Coach Pleased With
Showing Against Rutgers.
Line Is Strong on
Defense

Lexington Va October 16.-(SpecialO
With the return of the Washington and
Lee football team tonight from New
Brunswick, where the game with Rut-
gers resulted in 10 to 10 tie, Head Coach
Elcock will tomorrow begin whipping his
eleven into shape for the game on october
2S with Georgia Tech at Atlanta Al
though a game is scheduled here for next
Saturday with Roanoke college, no trou-
BILE is expected with the Salem boys, and
the contest may be taken advantage of
to try out some new plays that the Gen
erals will expect to use against Heismans
Yellow Jackets.
Head Coach Elcock is much pleased
with the playing of the Generals, espe-
cially the showing made by the line,
which appeared SO weak against the West
Pointers the Saturday before. Pike"
Johnson, the big freshman tackle, with
his line plunging, and Right Guard Tur-
ner Bethel, whose receiving of forward
passes in the second period contributed
largely to one of the Washington and
Lee touchdowns, were towers of strength
also on the defensive, with Center Pie
ROTH, who offered a stonewalI resist
ance al the pivotal position.
The Washington and Lee attack showed
much Improvement, the mass formations
being well mixed with aerial work. Ig-
nico and Sorrells banned consistently
through the Rutgers line, while Captain
Young, whose playing is considered sur
prising in view of his injury early in the
week, showed that he had something else
besides speed by several times tearing
through the tackles for long gains. Grille,
w rpIaVPd Snrrpi1S fuilD9 ok showed
a lot of power in his line plunging, and it
would not be considered at all surprising
if Elcock utilities him after this as reg
ular halfback.

Behind the Allied Offensive

From the New Republic
The superiority established by the
French and British armies in the battles
of the Somme depends, OF course, on
their ability to concentrate on the Sc
lected point a heavier weight of artil-
lery furnished with practically mex
haustibe supplies of ammunition and
rendered practically effective by the
larger number of aerial scouts. The work
of establishing this superiority has been
stupendous 1t has evolved an amount
of reorganization, a collection and con-
centration of Industrial and mechanical
resources, and willingness to pay the
cost, whatever that cost may be. which
is comparable to the greatest achieve
ments in human history For the first
time since the war began, the French and
the British seemed to have learned all
the Germans had to teach and to have
bettered the instruction. and it is this
fact which makes it look as If something
decisive would happen during the fall.

Austria's Hodgepodge Army

Nicholas Oliger in Cartoons Magazine.
Leaning against shattered fence on
a heap of straw sat an elderly soldier
whose only garment consisted of a blood
soaked shirt. At times he would cough
and spit blood. When questioned he
raised his inflamed eyes and said in an
undertone "Serbin' His neighbor, a
Hungarian, cast an angry look at him
and murmured something in his unin-
teligible dialect. These men had moth
ing in common save their uniform and
the Prussian drill commands which, by
the way, they understood imperfectly.
Discipline and fear had brought them to-
gether, but here in the prison camp they
were like the unstrung beads of neck
lace Each one tried now to emphasize
his racial characteristics and with such
apparent simplicity that our regimental
doctor, half-crazed from overwork, re-
marked to me in a leisure moment, MY
dear fellow, the word Austrian is a
mere fiction, diplomatic invention. Look
at the Germans. How different they are

Southwestern and Spring
Hill Will Be Taken on by
Browns Eleven i'm Next
Two Weeks

Two of Birmingham Colleges most
strenuous games are next on their sched-
ule Coach Charlie Brown opened week
of hard practice yesterday afternoon on
Munger Field to whip his eleven in good
working order for the game Friday at
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, against the Southwest
ern Presbyterian university, one of the
strongest smaller college elevens in Ten
nessee.
Following the game with the Tennessee
ans, the Methodists return to Birming-
ham and lay over until Thursday when
the strong Spring Hill eleven at Mobile
is taken on. These are two of the hardest
games of the season for the Methodists
and Coach Brown is working his men
hard to have them in excellent shape.
Coach Brown will spend most of his
time working on the line as he feels the
backfied is strong enough to cope with
any other small college eleven in the
south.

SilOs For Chickens.

School teachers are always
startig something new. Perhaps
that is why they are school teach
ers. One school teacher who
lives in Upper Peninsula of Mich
igaa deserves to be thanked by
the lumbermen for the possible
market for lumber that he has
opened up by the application of
the soil to the holding Of green
food for chickens. This school
teacher in a farm journal, came
across an account Of the food
value of silage for cows, when
the idea of building a silo to pro-
vide green food for chickens in
the winter time flashed across his
mind. He at once built a silo
8 1-2 feet in diameter and s feet
high, placing it 3 - feet in the
g'ound. AS is known by anyone
who has had anything to do with
chickens, nothing else makes
them lay SO we'll in tue winter
time as the green food. Conse-
quently the chicken silo expert
stored the silo with lawn clippings
and sweet corn cut green. Last
winter the chickens were fed on
this ensilage and as a consequence
laid a very satisfactory number
Of eggs.
If the lumbermen will get out
and help this movement along no
doubt it will be possible to de-
velop a market for a considerable
amount of short lumber that now
is difficult of sale. 1t is not nee.
essary that silo be round; it
may he any shape, provided it is
air tight. When the number of
people that raise chickens are
considered it is easy to see that
the use Of a silo for storing green
chicken food will call for the
utilization Of considerable
amounts of lnmber yearly.
