GIVES TIP ON HEALTH
Outdoor Exercise Makes President
Look Young on Goth Anniversary.

Washington, Dec. 29.-President
Wilson was so years of age Wednes-
day. From 'close up" view he looks
at least ten years younger. A side
view of the chief executive as he
stepped almost jauntily thru the cor
ridor leading from the White House
to his offices. he looked about half
his three score.
According to DIR. Cary T. Grayson.
the presidents private physician.
President Wilson never was in better
health. Plenty of outdoor exercise is
what has kept him fit, Doctor Grayson
says.
A deluge of rain prevented his usual
game of golf with Mrs. Wilson and he
spent the forenoon quietly.
Three years ago the president was
reported from time to time as being
in a bad physical condition. He con-
tinually suffered from colds, which
held on tenaciouSly. Walking and
golfing have driven away his weakness
for colds and his added weight gives
him the appearance of perfect health.

LOAN YOUR AUTO?
Anxious Riddles Would Go to Grand
New Years Day.

The dream of an under-sea boat
which Jules Verne put on paper fifty
years ago and which was derided at
the time as fantastic and impossible,
has been realized in the perturbation
of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Sea-" which will be shown at the
Grand all next week The exploits of
the Deutschland have proved the far
sightedneSS of the French master of
romance, and the invention of moving
pictures will enable those who breath
lessly read of the adventures of the
Nautilus and its mysterious pilot
Captain Memo, will live thru the ad-
venturous happenings of the book.
The pictures were actually taken in
a submarine and the scenic effects of
the ocean floor, all the wonders of the
known have been realized for the peo-
pie of today. The audience sees the
monster submarine, of the Deutsch-
land type, plowing thru the waves. sees
a balloon as flying out of the sea, the
firing of a torpedo and the travels
and battles on the ocean bed made
possible by the invention of the oxy-
gen helmet.
The perturbation not only includes
the story of Twenty Thousand
Leagues" but also the equally grip
ping sequel, 1.-The Mysterious Island"
1t affords an entertainment program
of educational, and dramatic interest,
and its appeal is to all classes and
ages. To boyhood the French writer's
famous romance is as popular as Rob
inson Crusoe and none of them will
enjoy the picture more than the chill
dren from the Provident Association,
the Orphans home, the Boys Indus
trial school and the crippled boys and
girls who will be the guests of the

Illinois Women Propose to Eliminate
Illegidmacy in State.

Chicago. Dec. 29.-Passage of laws
which would eliminate all illegitimacy
was urged before the Illinois Womans S
congress, in session here today. Rem
edial measures suggested by speakers
were the automatic marriage bill, >
which provides that the birth of
child shall automatically marry the
parents, and the passage of a law
which would give a child born out of
wedlock it's fathers name and provi-
sion for its support, but would not en-
force marriage between the parents.
Need Of a constitutional convention
to revise the basis state law, a health
certificate as a prerequisite to mar
riage and abolition of the double
standard of morals also were dis
cuSSed.

NOT RUSH'S FAULT
PrincetOn'S Football Failures
Due to Lack of Material.
Admirers Glad "Speedy" Will
Get Another Chance.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. Dec. 29--The reappoint-
ment Of Speedy Rush as chief pilot
of football operations for 1917 at
Princeton University has been gener-
ally hailed with acclaim by followers
Of the gridiron game thruout the East.
Admirers of Rush-and he has a
host of them-wanted to see him get
another chance to show what he can
do. For two years Rush has been
head coach at Old Nassau, and for two
years Princeton teams have failed to
squelch their strongest rivals. Yet the
blame is not being laid at Rush's door.
Needs Football Material.
4 lack of football material at
Princeton for three years has been the
real cause of her downfall on the grid

veloped on academic elevens have been

FANCY MAIL RATES
Deutschland and Sister Ship Will Do
Postal Service Across Atlantic.

Berlin, Dec. 29-The merchant sub
marine Deutschland and her sister
ship will carry on future voyages spe
cial mail at rates recalling those of the
trans-continental post in the days of
the forty-niners- A special charge of
marks for postcard or letter not
exceeding twenty grams in weight, will
be levied, in addition to the regular
international postage. A similar charge
will be made for each further twenty
grams up to a maximum weight of six
ty grams. AS letters sent by the ordi
nary route take many months in trans
it. six months being not unusual it is
thought the submarine post will be in
heavy demand.

HARRY POLLOK RATES The
PRESENT DAY "HEAVIES"

Harry Pollok, who is guiding the
fistic endeavors of Charley Vein
ert, is sick and tired of trying to
coax promoters and the managers
of some of the country's- best
heavyweights to meet his protege
So Harry gets busy with a new
variety of challenge for Weinert-
Pollok says Weinert will pay the
pugs in the land to meet him, and
he has drawn up scale of the
prices he will give. This scale, no
doubt will make Frank Moran boil
with Indignation, for he is rated
the cheapest of all. Here is the
scale:
Jess Willard, $4,000; Fred Full
ton, $4,000; Carl Morris, $4,000;
Billy Miske, $4,000; Jack Dillon,
$1,000; F'rand Moran, $500.

HUSkERS KICK OUT?
Omaha Alumni Want Nebraska to
Quit the NJ. v. Conference.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 29.-The Oman
alumni of the University of Nebraska,
it is said are about to start a vigorous
agitation in favor of Nebraska S
breaking away from the Missouri VAL
ley conference, and, failing to find
place in the western conference,
making Its own athletic enga agements,
as is done by Michigan, Notre Dame
and other schools prominent in ath-
letics.
The immediate cause of the action
proposed by the Omaha alumni is said
to be the refusal of the Missouri VAL
ley conference to sanction the playing
of one or more of Nebraska's big
games, in Omaha. A meeting of the
Omaha alumni is to be held shortly
at which arrangements will be made
to take up the plan with the manage
ment of the university

gobbled up by Yale, Harvard and 9TH
er universities, while Princeton has
stood calmly by and watched the
youthful talent carried off from under
her very nose.
But there is new spirit of deter
mination at Princeton, and supporters
of the Tigers feel that it will triumph.
They point out that if Speedy Rush is
given the support he deserves, he will
deliver with a winning eleven next fall.
Rush has developed great defensive
teams during his two years as head
coach, but because of a lack of good
backfield men his elevens have lacked
the driving power to manufacture
scores. And scores must be had to
win football games.
Sam White. former baseball basket
ball and football star at Princeton, will
assist Rush next fall in the capacity of
advisory coach, and his return to Old
Nassau Will be hailed with delight. 1t
is believed also that Whites presence
on the coaching staff at Princeton will
influence many promising schoolboys
to turn toward the Tiger when they Sc

MANY DEMANDS BY
FARMERS LISTED
Over 1000 Sheep Are Wanted
by People ON the Profit
Sharing Plan

Application for 1000 sheep to be
placed on farms in Pennsylvania on
the profit-sharink plan suggested by
the textile manufacturers Of the State,
bankers and others interested in grow
ing of sheep in conjunction with the
state Department of Agriculture, has
peen made to Secretary of Agriculture
CHARLES E. Patton. These applications
come from fifty counties and are more
than expected.
1t was figured out tEdt 5000 sheep
could be placed, but the farmers have
taken hold of the proposition with con-
siderable vigor and the State officials
are somewhat embarrassed, as the
Department of Agriculture has no
FUNDS with which to buy sheep and
has called upon the man who made
the suggestion to assist. Boards of
Trade, farmers organizations and
other associations have become in
terested and some plans are being
made to buy carload lots of sheep and
have State veterinarians inspect them.
The inspections will be made without
cost
