ATHLETIC CONFERENCE.

New York, Dec. 27.-Followers of intercollegiate athletics are looking forward with much interest to the twelfth annual convention of the Ma tional Collegiate Athletic association, which is to be held at the Hotel As- tor, this city, tomorrow.
 Two of the speakers at teh initial session tomorrow morning will be President w. H. P. Faunce of Brown university and President George H. Vincent of the general education board. At the afternoon session reports will be received from the representa- tives of the nine districts and from committees, standing and special.
 The evening session will be given up as usual to more or less informal discussion of pressing problems. It is proposed that the delegates may be disposed to continue discussion that was begun at the informal meeting of the association in Washington last August. The resolutions passed at that meeting, which was inteded to guide the colleges in their efforts to
 make their athletic programs conform to the military needs of the nation,
 have been we'll received and widely
 adopted. The association has more work to do in this direction, as new
 problems are continually arising in
 the growing demand of the country upon the colleges for the best they can
 offer in the way of trained men.

SAFETY OF SOLDIERS.

Washington, Dec. 26.-It is esti-
 mated that the total death rate per year in the present war does not ex- ceed per cent of the total number of individuals engaged. That is to say, the chances of getting killed at the front, speaking generally, are not Q: much greater than the death rate in this country. This comparatively low percentage is largely accounted for by the increased cost of taking life. 1t takes something like four tons of pro- jectiles to kill a single soldier.
 Other casualties are also consider.
 ably less in proportion. Of the allied soldiers 95 per cent of those who reach the field hospitals recover, and of those who reach the base hospitals 98 per cent recover. Then, again, the ratio of deaths by disease is only
 about one to 20 deaths from wounds
 or in battle, whereas in former years the ratio was about seven deaths fron disease to one in battle or from wounds.

NEW IRON REMEDY lS
 BIG IMPROVEMENT
 OVER LIQUID T0N|Cs
The Many Advantages of Pep Syste. mic Pills Seem to Appeal
 to Thinking People.

Although there are number Of liquid tonics on the market which heretofore have enjoyed a big sale, the large demand already created for Pep Systemic Pills indicates that they will very soon surpass tie record made by any general tonic that has ever been introduced.
 7 The reasons for the big demand for these pills are several-viz ;, that in stead of being tonic for just one class of ailments they are for all ail- ments raising from impure blood, an inactive. liver, or from rundown system. Being composed O. iron, in the most assimilable form (Bland' $ Mass), and supplemented by other important blood, nerve and alterative tonics, these pills serve as an exceI- lent blood purifier, liver stimulant and general reconstructing tonic all concentrated in one.> These pills are also preferred because of their con venient way of being taken, their per- feet solubility and because they gre | guaranteed to not discolor the teeth nor upset the stomach.
 Nervousness, impure blood, consti-
 patton, sleeplessness. lazy liver,
 loss of appetite, dizziness, sallow
 complexion and that tired lazy feel ins yield readily to the strengthening influence of Pep Systemic Pills. Secure box today and be conyinc- ed that Pep Systemic Pills are really
 superior to any other tonic you have ever used.

A COMMONLY PRACTICED
 SCHEME.

Deducting losses in securities be- fore presenting income statements to
 the federal government is one way to
 beat the government, and it is appa-
 rently being done quite extensively. Union Pacific bought at say 200
 some years ago and sold at around 120 will make a vast difference to the income tax gatherer.
 In order to "take credit for losses'' the paper value doesn't count, but the loss must be proven by an actual sale. As consequence, the plan of sell ing securities near the end of the year with the intention of re-buying
 after the income tax gatherer has
 been attended after the first of the year, is one reason for the terrific sell ing that characterized December. It's not patriotic. But then, lots of people don't let patriotism interfere
 with financial transactions. They evi- dently consider this kind of juggling
 conservation of their resources.

"A HUGE TASK FOR MIR. TAFT.

Former President Taft is of the opinion that to win the war genu- inc war club, and not a stuffed one will have to be used.
 In speech the other day the for nner president said he believed frolv five to seven million American soldiers will have to be placed in France tc deefat the Germans and bring about the kind of peace the allied nations are fighting for.
 This would indicate that MT. Taf, does not think the war will be won ir a hurry, nor that it will be won ir 1918 or 1919-as it is doubtful if we could place so many millions of sol. diers in France in three years. The question of supplies also comes up as a factor in such gigantic un dertaking-the greatest ever attempt ed in the history of warfare. We arc building lots of ships, yet we have trouble in ocean transportation witt much less than a million men ir France. And in the meantime we vii have to feed the allied portion of Flu rope and keep our own population fed.
 We rather think Mr. Taft is eXag gerating the situation bit. It won take that many million men to defea the Germans.

WATCH FOR FIRE BUGS.


 The series of small blazes in the all leys of the downtown business sec tion Wednesday, while they did no damage, serve to emphasize the neces- sity for the exercise of the utmost vigilance. Circumstances indicate that the fires were attempts at arson, or the work of a dangerous lunatic.
 Vigilance should be exercised, how ever, not only against the would-be firebug, but against carelessness which may cause as disastrous a coniiagra- tion as an incendiarist. Paper, trash and other inflammable refuse should not be permitted to pile up in alleys

KAPPA ALPHA SOCIETY.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 27.-Jack- sonville today began the entertain ment of distinguished body of col lege men, gathered here from many states for the national convention of the Kappa Alpha fraternity. At the initial session this morning Mayor John w. Martin delivered an address of welcome, to which response was made for the visitors by Henry c. Chiles of Lexington, Mo-, knight com mander of the society.
 The southern division of the Kappa Alpha was founded by Washington and Lee university at the close of the civil war, and is an offshoot of the original society, founded at Union col lege in 1925, and which is the oldest of the American college fraternities.

THE GAS RATE QUESTION.

The natural gas distributing com- pany at Hot Springs has obtained a court order enjoining the Arkansas Natural Gas company from shutting off the gas because of the distributing, company's refusal to put into effect the higher rates recently ordered b5 the producing company.
 Pine Bluff has similar controversy with the Arkansas Natural Gas com pany, but it appears likely that ar amicable adjustment will be reached According to computations made b. local men, the proposed increase 1T rates in Pine Bluff would mean an in crease in the fuel bills of local indus trial plants of more than $100,00t annually.
 The gas company, like every other bunisess concern, is entitled to a fail compensation for the service it ren ders, and the people who have invested in the company's stock are entitled tt fair return on their money, but it is difficult for the average consumer o1 gas to understand how the gas com pany's expenses have increased to sucl an extent as to justify the establish ment of the proposed rates.
 This is no time for "profiteering."
