as for the individual benefit of the children, it is
of the greatest Importance that the schools be
maintained in the highest standards of efficiency.
Especially important, in the view of the Com
missioner, is prompt and regular attendance at
school and proper employment during out-of-
school hours. These, the Commissioner, believes,
will be the children's surest protection against
temptations to juvenile delinquenciese.
Labor unions are especially appealed to to
urge the children now in high school to complete
their work. Superintendent of schools have been
asked to cooperate with the representatives of
labor unions in their communities in the efforts
to keep children in school.

How America Can Help Mexico

Perhaps the task of advancing Mexico to the
European level is too severe for the minority who
must do the work. It has proved so in the past
in respect of commerce and industry. A far
sighted policy would encourage immigration and
the further infusion of European ideals and en-
ergy into the tranquility of the peon mind and
temperament. But force will not civilize Next
co. 1t has attempted the task for four hundred
years and failed.
America can help enormously by patient
operation There is no real basis for the belief
that America is generally disliked in Mexico 1t
has not been well represented and historically
American contact with Mexican affairs has not
been promotive of kindly feeling. But wise bust
ness policy and policy of cooperation and under
standing in Washington will make America the
natural source of Mexican advancement Already
kindly feelings exist because of the patience of
President Wilson in dealing with a country
thrown into confusion and led into excuses by in
cessant warfare.
The path ahead of the Mexican Government
is neither bright smooth. The government
has found the path and has set out on its way.
That is considerable achievement. A multitude
of obstacles and problems will beset it and are
now giving it trouble. Help in meeting and over
coming Them and continued patience and perse-
verance the part of all concerned will bring
prosperity and enlightenment to Mexico for which
all it's travail and Christening must assuredly have
been in preparation-From 1.-THE Present State
Of Mexico" in the American Review of Reviews.

Free Publicity

Here is a Canadian contribution to the free
publicity symposium:
''The plan we follow in the Montreal Daily
STAR is to refer all requests for free reading mat
ter to the Editor to be dealt with according to his
Judgment strictly on their news value merit, and
if he should find nothing along those lines the
matter is usually consigned to the waste-paper
basket.
"This practice is consistently followed, and we
believe that if publishers adopted the method
generally, it would have marked effect on the
free reader abuse.-Montreal Daily Star, W. S.

THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

No man can hope to better
himself unless he is willing to
help others; moral strength in
creases through self-sacrifice.
Indifference to the griefs of
others makes a difference in the
joys that might come to you;
without heavenly sympathy,
there will be for you but little
heavenly joy.
If you excuse yourself for the
wrong you do, it will be hard for
you to see the right that others
do; the excuse of self often
causes the abuse of others.
The man that really wants a
thing will use Palladium classi-
fled advertising to get what he
wants. He will not hesitate to
make use of the Want AID col
umns to tell Richmond people
that he is ready to buy what he
wants.

GRID CAPTAINS
BAN R0UGH|NG
Favor Heavy Penalties for
Unfair Method of Attack
in Football.

New Haven, Conn.,, Feb. Foot
ball captains Of the leading univer-
sity elevens agree that 'roughing"
either the backs who are catching
punts or the ends and other players
who are receiving forward passes
should be penalized more severely
than under the present rules. Several
captains. in interviews today given to
The Yale Daily News. urged penaliz-
ing roughness against punters from
the spot where the ball was put in
play rather than where the foul oc-
Cured. In this connection Dart
mouth football officers urged that a
rule be passed protecting the half
backs from being roughed who guard
a punter when about to get away a
kick.
Captain Black of. the Yale eleven
advised the passage Of legislation that
will compel less forward passing.
while Captain Wilson of Princeton
favored more forward passing through
better protection for the ends who re-
ceive passes.
Captain Dadmun, Harvard. said: II
would suggest that a specification
should be made that the penalty Of
IS yards for running into the kicker
(Rule XIII. Section 2) be measured
from where the ball was put in play,
instead Of from where the foul was
committed. Practically all kickers
stand at least ten yards back from

said. 'is that the rule for 'roughing'

the Is yards from where the ball was
put in play and not from the spot
where the foul was committed"
Captain-elect Dusosoit. Dartmouth,
declared: II should like to see the
rule about 'roughing' the kicker abol-
ished. There are already enough
rules against rougness to make 1t un-
necessary to specify against a certain

''The present game" Captain Ger
rish. Dartmouth's leader last fall,
writes, ''is about where it should re-
main. I think, except that there
should be rule against 'roughing' the
half back guarding the punter, the
same as that protecting the punter
himself. The practice Of breaking
through and spilling the protesting
half backs is altogether unnecessary.
not believe that any changes in the
rules could help football. The only
thing that could help is the abolishing
Of the forward pass. In the last few
years football has been more like bas-
ket ball, due to this. Forward pass
ing could be lessened in importance II
the ball was given to the other side
whenever grounded. This. believe.
would help the game a great deal and
make it like the football that was
played Is years ago. which was really
football"
Captain-elect Wilson, Princeton,
writes: There should be a greater
penalty for deliberate interference
with the catcher of forward pass,
and he should be allowed the choice
of taking the Is yard penalty or of
getting the ball point the foul was
committed. For example. 1t is not
fair in the case of deliberate foul COM
nlitted by an opponent on the defense,
who sees that successful 30-yard pass
is to be made. He knocks down the
man waiting to receive the ball, with
out trying for himself. and instead OF
in possession Of the ball gets only a
15-yard penalty. The interference
with the receiver tends to deliberate
ly roughen the play. as it takes man
at a big disadvantage when he is not
able to protect himself"

DETROIT TIGERS
AFTER PENNANT
Jennings Modestly Declares
that Giants Will Have
Him to Contend With.

New York, Feb. 2.-Usually this
sombre period of winter is the open
season for claiming pennants and de-
Gliding major. league races, but the
subject has been placed on the shelf
impending baseball strike. There is
one manager however. who does not
permit the strike to interfere in any
way with his predictions of the result
Of the coming pennant races. Hughey
Jennings of the Detroit Tigers is cred
tied this season with the first score In
picking the winners in the National
and American league hunts.
Jennings has been spending his time
this winter in making speeches
around his home town in Scranton,
Penn. The Tiger leader has delivered
several speeches on Prohibition and
various other topics. No matter what
subject Jennings chooses for his dis
course. he always has more or less to
say about baseball.
Hughey picks the Giants to win the
flag in the National league and very
modestly names the Detroit club to
win the orif1ame in the American
league. Jennings says that with the
club McGraw has to begin the sea-
son. the New York team will have a
great advantage over the other clubs.
The Giants. as they finished their rec
ord breaking run of twenty-six
straight games last fall. easily out
class all the other National league
teams. according to the Detroit
prophet.
Jennings predicts that the Tigers
will take the pennant in his own
league, as the Boston Red Sox and the
Chicago White Sox are due to slip
back. The worlds champions. he
states have reached the zenith Of
their power and will now slowly but
surely go backward. Last season the
Tigers were we'll up in the pennant
| hunt and had a. fine chance of taking
the pennant until the pitching staff
fell down before the terrific attack OF
the Red Sox bats. He expests to
strengthen his twirling staff this year
and will take more pitchers to his
! training camp than any other major
league manager. Jennings will have
seventeen pitchers on hand when the
| training season opens in Texas on
March l.
Jennings says that it has always
been his ambition to see Detroit in a
worlds series with McGraw's Giants.
AS both managers were team mates
on the famous old Baltimore Orioles
and are warm friends they are more
than anxious to match their wits and
se7e:$%lship in the blue ribbon classic
Of the baseball world.
| The Detroit manager says. that the
Giants and Tigers would furnish the
greatest worlds series that has ever
been played. With Boston and Chica-
go slipping, Jennings looks for seri-
ousa opposition from the. Yankees and
predicts that, his former moundman,
Bill Donotan. will land his club well
up with the leaders next October
