Inc Diver Detective.

Peter c. Kincaid, veteran New York
diver. said, apropos of the Lusitania
anniversary:
IF diving was as simple and easy
thing as the public seems to think,
the Lusitania and Titanic and every
other sunken ship would be raised in
no time.
"rhe popular idea of diving is re-
flected in the story about the man who
employed two divers to hunt for a
treasure chest.
THE divers went down together ev-
cry morning, they only came up for
their incoming, they were paid a high
hourly rate, but they didn't find the
chest.
1.-The treasure hunter got the idea
they were soldering on him, so he
hired a diver detective.
The diver detective sneaked down.
and found the two divers seated In
comfortable armchairs in the wreck.

MAKING ONES WAY IN LIFE
Every Man Is the Architect of His Own
Success, However He May Be
Assisted.

How many of us pass our time in
waiting for life to give us something
instead of trying to find it for our
selves We even go so far as to think
that life owes us always more than we
receive, that we fulfill our mission on
earth by simply living a harmless ex-
istence and that fame and fortune
should be ours by right. 1t is for this
latter reason that we so often resent
the good fortune of others and allow
ourselves to believe that we have been
Disseminated against by Providence.
We do not seem to realize that it Is
well worth our while to do something
more than wait for what may or may
not come TO pass, that we are the
architects in large measure OF our
own success and that we must make
the best of what is before us in order
to learn the rights to fulfill the desires
Of our hearts. If we make but little
Roadway we are quick with our ex-
cuSes and are always ready to place
the blame upon others who can in no
way be held responsible If, on the
other hand, we do succeed, it seems
quite natural to take the credit ours
selves whether we deserve 1t or not,
The chances are, however that if we
amount to very much In this world the
credit belongs to us more than to any,
one else, even though we do receive as
sistance at times from those who take
an interest in us. The point of the
matter is that wa muct fortffv Our-
selves to meet conditions as they come
and to do our best to shape them into
happiness and prosperity for ourselves.

REDWOOD MEETS
SLAYTON TEAM
Continued from LIST page)
Third Quarter

Slayton kicked to Redwood's
30-yard line. Redwood made first
down by short runs around left
end. -Four more plunges lost
the ball to Slayton. Slayton
then got away with the one
brilliant smash of the day, a 80
yard run by the fullback right
through the Redwood line. She
made her downs by smashes and
then lost the ball on a forward
pass. Redwood was held and
compelled to punt on the fourth
down. .S.ayton made her downs
but was penalized Is yards. She
then punted to Redwood's 10
yard line, when the whistle blew
for the end of the quarter. Score
| O to 0.
Fourth Quarter
The last quarter furnished the
only real thrill of the day. Red
wood made two first downs on
fierce smashes off right guard,
but lost the ball on downs at the
third trial. Slayton then pound
ed her way for forty yards
straight down the field to Red
woods 3-yard line. Cries of
"stonewall' came from the side
lines to no avail, for with a des-
perate plunge Holman, the Stay
ton fullback, pushed the ball
over the line but fumbled and
lost it to Redwood. What other
wise would have been a touch
down scoring 6 points, resulted
in a touchback scoring nothing.
Not again during the remaining
time did Slayton come within
scoring distance Of Redwood's
goal.
After the touchback the ball
was put in play by Redwood on
their own 20-yard line. Two in
completed forward passes, a cou-
pie Of punts, a few line bucks,
and the game ended near the
middle of the field with the ball
in Slayton's possession. Score
0 to 0.
