Toned seat in the car. Mary wished
to know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five minutes explana,

they were to sleep in bed, made over
their two seats, which would be com
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up of the
seat was for n time enough food for
thought. but she finally burst out with
this question;
Mamma, If we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where is that man going
to sleep?"

ARMY-NAVY FOOTBALL GAME
Little Chance That Big Grid Contest
viii Be Played This Year-Sec-
retary Bakers View.

There is little chance that the Army
Navy football game will be played this
year. Newton ID. Baker secretary of
war, declared that he was opposed to
having the contest played, even for the
purpose of raising a war fund.
Mr.. Baker explained that the Army
Navy game had been discussed by him
with Secretary Daniels and Col Pal
mer Pierce. U. s. A. head of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic association.
The decision reached was that so far
as West Point and Annapolis were con-
cerned, every ounce of energy ought
to be employed toward the prosecu-
ton of the war, even at the temporary
sacrifice of athletics.
AT West Point Secretary Baker ex-
planned system of very intensive mil
itary training has been initiated, while
arrangements are being rushed to grad
uate two classes ahead.
Mr.. Baker also pointed out that the
feeling between West Point and An
napolis was naturally such that play
ing of the football match would in
volve much training and preparation.
He does not think that this energy
should be devoted at this time even for
the advantage of raising war fund.

Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosquito was the carrier of
yellow fever, writes Il. w. Nelson In
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type Of mosquito is known
to be the carrier of malaria. The Eu-
ropean war has brought to almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
to be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat in its tremendous, drain on
the prosperity of nations by its de-
struction of food and other property
while at the shine time 1t is the dead
liest of all to mankind as a disease
carrier. Within historic times 1T has
caused the death of untold millions
of human beings through its dissent
nation of the bubonic plague.

to be authorized by the state. and no
