SPEND FOR THE HOUSE.

paper Syndicate.)
Not long g a letter truly full Of
food for thought came under the
writer's eye. 1t was from a young wife
who complained that, attic h her
husband loved her and was devoted to
her. h e would not give her money
enough to buy anything for their house.
Even decent table linen was lacking,
she said. He thought that q growing
bank account ought to take the place
of a well furnished house, in her mind
as it did in his.
There are two way of spending
money for ones house: one is extrav-
agant, the other is economical, in the
best ems And the husband who
thinks that q bank account can take
the place Of sufficient and attractive
furnishings is mistaken.
Most women have to live most Of
their time in their houses. For most
women do the bulk of their own house,

titled to q pleasant place to work, q

disadvantage.

Lord Cecil Attacks
Submarine Campaign

London. Nov. 25-Supplementing
his statement to the Associated Press
that talk of peace at the present time
was futile. Lord Robert Cecil, minis
ter Of war trade, said today:
"Of course it is possible that mines
laid by submarines may have been re-
sponsible for the loss Of the hospital
ships Brittanic and Braernar Castle
but this only relieves the elaboration
of the outrages and not their illegal
ity. Attacks on hospital ships put gov
ernments desiring to obey information
al law in difficult position. as such
ships must be brilliantly lighted and
painted and can carry no guns. thus
making excellent targets"
Lord Cecil explained that British
policy still discouraged the transfer of
belligerent vessels to neutral flags. He
stated in this connection that he knew
nothing Of any new plan by which
South American states were endeavor-
ing to obtain informed German ton
mage. {,-

AS the Bean City club had been cell

and continued to be such under F'red's
successor, that was nothing against
him. This year Tenney tackled the
difficult job of putting Newark back
on the International League map, and
again his club won the BOBBY prize.
Teney's Indians started off as if they
intended to tear the league into bits,
but injuries and recalls by major
leagues busted Teney's machine to
smithereens. and after that the club
just played out the schedule.
Teney will be forty-five years old

ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

Another Joe Cans" Every once
in while we hear this claim made
for a lightweight boxer, but it is al
ways a false alarm. There wont Dc
another Joe Cans any sooner than
there will be another Shakespeare.
The little black boy who was born In
Baltimore forty-two years ago to-
day, Nov. rs, 1874, was the only one
of his kind. There may be a better
lightweight boxer than Joe, but he
won't be another Joe. The "old
master succumbed to. tuberculosis in
Arizona about six years ago, and his
passing caused general sorrow
throughout the sporting world, for, In
spite of his color, there have been few
more popular boxers than Joseph.
Where Cans stood out from the mob
Of scrappers was in his originality
He had gray matter in his dome, and
he used it, He never did what his
opponents expected him to do. He
was full of SURPRISES, and most or
them were unpleasant ones for the
man who faced him in the ring. Joe

the change in coaching methods Yale
had more than fair amount Of foot
ball material at the beginning OF the

rather inconsistent, showing flashes
of great promise in one game only to
slump badly in the next.
Rival teams, which have faced the
Blue this autumn, are Of the opinion
that if the combination once realizes
its power and swings into smooth ac-
tion it will be hard to stop. Such a
change is, to some extent, a matter
of football psychology and might oc-
cur almost between halves. 1t is for
this reason that Harvard is not count

In the case, Of Harvard. too, the
game is one Of more than ordinary

T Defeated by Tufts early in the sea-
son, Harvard was also to weld into
form but the closing games of the
year showed that another impressive
combination was in the making. Re-
gardless of the result of the game
Yale has long lead in victories which
Harvard must overcome before the
Crimson can draw up on even terms
with the Blue.
