S. w. INDUSTRIAL AND STATE
NORMAL TO CLASH.
Special to the Review.

Lafayette, La, Nov. 10Th,
Southwestern Industrial Institute
alumni and students have completed
all arrangements for the great an
nuai Turkey Day football game with
the State Normal School, to be play
ed here Ct $50 p. n. Enthusiasm
runs hieh because Southwestern has
won every game played this season
except with L. s. l., which is above
her class. The victory over Jefferson
on L. S. Y. campus last Saturday
practically clinches the State cham
pionship in the college class--but
the game with the Normal is still to
be played and of course accidents
may happen. Normal was defeated
by Ruston and St. Charles-both of
which were in turn defeated by
Southwestern; so the Southwestern
rooters are very confident. How
ever, State Normal has in the past
won five games out of seven from
the institute and piled up ia points
against 60 for the Institute. Also
Normal ends the season with much
stronger team than she begins with.
Normal has a large representation
OF alumni engaged in teaching in
this section of the State and will
have many enthusiastic supporters at
the gane-Which promises to be as
great an event for these institutions
as the contemporaneous contest in
New Orleans will be for L. S. U. ard

AMERICAN FAIR PLAY

While the people of the United
States have been spending thirty
millions dollars worth of relief to
Europe and Turkey, two hundred
thousand women and children in
Albania have died of starvation.
While each woman and child in
Belgium has had plenty to eat,
women and children in Albania have
gnawed at the carcasses Of dead
horses in the streets.
William Willard Howard, Of New
York, who has returned from his trip
to this hunger zone Of Europe, pre-
diets that the entire population Of
Albania win die of famine and pesti-
lence unless helped. He says that in
Albania corn is fifty dollars bushel,
flour eighty dollars a sack, and
macaroni five dollars pound.
'The tragedy of Albania" says
Mr.. Howard, "is that a nation is dy-
ing of hunger, while the people Of
the United States, laden with gifts
for the rest of Europe and Turkey,
pass on by the other side. t
Thirty millions of dollars have
been given by the people Of the Uni
ted States for relief work of various
kind in Belgium, Poland, Armenia,
Syria and the warning countries of
Europe, while two hundred thousand
women and children of Southern Eu-
rope have starved to death UNDECIDED
and uncared for. Not one woman or
child has died of hunger in Belgian;
two hundred thousand in Albania.
SIS it fairs it human--that the
innocent women and children of AL
bania, who never did anyone any
harm, should be trampled under foot
and left to perish, at time when all
others are fed?

THE Albanians are as much en-
titled to sympathy and help as
others. They have not taken part in
the war. They fed and sheltered the
refugees form Servia, even with the
last measure Of corn that the famine
smitten villages possessed. They
have not done any wrong; yet armies
have swept over their country, TAX

what disappointment. Instead of
carrying you into scenes that are

Send a Thanksgiving Box.

A Thanksgiving box of good things
is acceptable to almost any one who
does not make one Of a family group
on Thanksgiving day. While teachers
and students in boarding schools and
colleges are usually associated with
these boxes from home, the young man
or woman in business with a boarding
house for home will be quite as ap-
preciative of such a remembrance as
any one else. For the woman keeping
house in a small apartment a well
stocked Thanksgiving box is a real
joy and furnishes the wherewithal for
a festivity worthy of the name of
Thanksgiving.

The aboriginal American Thanksgiv-

gratitude and rejoicing in the course
Of nearly 300 years, is perhaps famil-
lar, but it deserves recollection now
that Thanksgiving is with us. 1t was
in Plymouth as the end of that first
toilsome and dangerous year drew on.
III September they had sent their
'shalop to the Massachusetts, with ten
men, and SquantO for their guide and
interpreter, to discover and view that
bay, and trade with the natives, the
which they performed and found kind
entertainment" Boston was a hospi-
table place, we perceive, long before
there was any Common on the slopes
of the Beacon hill And the Bay was
already place to he envied for resi-
dence: They returned in safetie, and
brought home a good quantity of bea
Yer, and made report of the place,
wishing they had been there seated
Out it seems We Lord. who assigns to
all men ye bounds OF their habitations,
had appointed it for another usel. And
thus they found We Lord to be with
them in all their ways, and to bless
their outgoingS and mornings, for
which let his holy name have We praise
forever, to all posteritie.'
This was the spirit Of remembering
and forelookiug gratitude il which
Governor Bradford brooded on the
project Of 4 common time Of thanks

From the Earliest Times,

The first national Thanksgiving may
be said to have been the one offered
up at st. Paurs cathedral, London, for
the defeat of the Spanish armada, Sep
TENDER, 15SS. The English settlers in
this country naturally adopted The Gus
tom of their native land, and Mt an
early period in our colonial history
Thanksgiving became quite common.
The institution may be said to be the
natural outgrowth of human nature
and has probably existed in some form
or other from the earliest times.
