GAME OF BLIND MANS BUFF
Under the Name of "Brazen Fly" II
Was Played by Young Men Of
Ancient Greece.

Blind mans buff was played long
ago by the young men Of Greece, but
they called it "Brazen Fly" The peo-
pie of old England named it "Hoodman
Blind" probably because the players
wore headdresses resembling hoods,
and the blind nan turned over his
face, while the others used their hoods
to strike him. Some called 1t Harry
Racket" and "HoOdwink."
England has other blindfold games,
among them is Colin Maillard." Jean
Colin was a brave warrior who lived In
the tenth century. He fought in a bat
tie after both of his eyes were put out,
and so the game gets its name from
him. He was surnamed "Maillard,"
which means "mallet-wielder," because
that was the weapon he used.

College Loses Intellectual Leadership
When Coach Gets Twice Professors Pay
By STEWART PATTON
Lecturer in N~eurobiolOsy ct Princeton University

Consider for a moment the extraordinary opportunity existing at
this crisis in world affairs for our universities to make adequate provision
for supplying the leaders Of thought urgently needed if a triumphant
democracy il, to be assured. Is the contribution of these institutions to
the intellectual awakening now in progress to be measured only by an
amaeurish interest in military preparedness?
Have We not reason to expect, perhaps we may even cay to demand,
that our universities shall not base their chief claims for recognition as
institutions of learning merely upon traditional and hereditary rights?
One proof that the gravity of the present situation has been appre-
cated might be found in some effort to break with the restrictive infu-
ences imposed by trying to satisfy the parochial notions of the alumni and
by placing on governing boards and in administrative offices representa-
tive citizens competent to realize the value of scholarship and research
and the importance of cultvatng broad national ideals.
The signs of the times are indeed threatening, but what can we expect
in the way of great intellectual leadership from an institution that places
so little value upon the influence of example as to retain the services of
an athletic coach receiving more than double the recompense of any men,
Der of its faculty?
Judged by their spirit and works, the universities have failed lamen-
tahy to rise to meet the present situation. Today, when we ar SO ear
neshy seeking the abolition of petty sectional feeling, and turn to our
Oldest institutions of learning for a substitute, we find only a Harvard,
Yale or Princeton sentiment tending to detract from the idea of service
to the general government.

TRAINING TODAY'S
BOYS AND GIRLS
Wise Folk Know All Rules Are
Meant to Be Broken.
WHEN TO DO IT IS QUESTION
Fixed Regularity in the Daily Routine
Is Essential With Very Young
ChiIdren-Latitude May Be
Allowed the Older Ones.
BY sIOoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

lAJ Use folks know that all rules are
w meant to be broken, but it is not
safe TO let tie children find il out too
soon. 1t happens that some grow up
without ever finding out, and a hard
time Of it they have eve after.
We can understand the establishment
of Aunt 10, who dropped in uneXpect-
eddy one evening and found eight-year-
old Marion sitting up and reading. and
the hour long after the usual bedtime.
"Why. l thought your children never
stayed up after seven O'Clock" was
her way of showing that she knew that
rules were rules. That had been the
rule; that was still the rule for the
younger children. But now" ex-
planned the mother, Marion stays up
Il half hour later on Saturday nights.
because she can sleep later on Sun
day, and because father comes home
later on Saturday"
These were very good reasons for
staying up later; but to some people
there never seems TO be a good eas
" DINdhiAiS a AuiOs anu ia 10 "a
what bOthers them-the difficulty of
using discretion. Aunt 10 was one of
those people. and she was one of a
very large company.
With very young children It is essen
tial to have a fixed regularity in the
daily routine, If 1t can possibly be
carried out. This is necessary, be-
cause 1t is the only way of getting
children into the habit of dispOsing of
the daily necessities in q routine way.
Ia the matter of eating, sleeping and
dressing, in putting away tops and
clothes, in table and in the
details of courteous conduct, the rou-
tine must be observed, with never ar
exception. 1t is apparently the only
way of making sure of the habits.
You know the saying about being
offered al inch and taking n yard.
Well, that seems TO be particularly true
of children on the way to learning the
rules of life's game. A change from
the ordinary means n license to ignore
the rule. During this period, there
fore, every departure from the routine
involves q serious setback. When
habits are being acquired, no excep-
ton should be permitted. But after
habits have been formed they must not
be allowed to interfere with common
sense or with our happiness.
A friend out shopping with her little
girl met me on a crowded street on a
warm day. After talking Of nothing
in particular for a few moments she
told me half-apologetically that they
were about to get some ice cream soda,
and asked whether l would join them.

REALIZED HIS GOOD LUCK
Old Man Probably Had Never consid-
cred His Position in Just That
Light Before.

A Massachusetts man who recently
returned from an automobile trip
through northern New England had a
small mishap on the way home that
obliged him to do some tinkering on
the car. As the breakdown occurred
in u pleasant bit of woods, the family
found amusement in strolling about
the neighborhood while the head of the
family made the repairs.
He had been at work only a few
minutes when an old man strolled I'D
with his hands behind his back and
prepared to watch the progress of the
work. He asked no questions and of
fered no comments, but his face wore
a friendly smile. After a time, having
apparently grown tired of standing, he
found q seat on a rock by the side Of
the road and continued to watch.
Live round here?" asked the "a
owner at last.
"Ye-up. Lived here all my life born
here. In fact"

The old mans face beamed with a
glad surprise, and then, as one who
knows his rare good fortune and

delightedly: That's where l be !"-

Electric Fans For Winter.

Why is 1t that the first sign of
cool weather the electric fan is rele-
gated to the cellar, the attic, or the
storeroom, as the case may be? Sim
ply because the mission of the cleo
trio fan is misunderstood, observes the
Scientific American. 1t is looked upon
as a device for cooling the air during
warm weather. when as a matter of
fact 1t merely stirs the air. II ever
there was ar efficient way of warming
a room during the coolest winters day
II Is to place an electric fan near a
radiator so that its breeze passes
through the heating coils. This re-
suits in creating a current Of warm air
throughout the room; and instead of
the heat Of the room being confined TO
the immediate neighborhood of the
radiator, 1t Is distributed to the fur
thermost o ners Of the room. Why
not try 1t?

in its entirety by bringing about larger
yields of grains and tubers.
Adequate provision must be made
for conserving the harvest and that

most progressive element is willing to
concede are entitled to the character
izatiOn Modern"
1t does not greatly profit the farmer
to produce a great quantity and to wit
ness its depreciation in value while it
remains in his possession.
He has found. also, that it is poor
business for him to house his live stock
in structures that breed disease, or
whose character prevents the most rap
id development and increase in weight.
Thorough tests have been made by
government officials and those in
charge of the agricultural colleges
which have proven on q dollar and
cents basis the absolute and practical
economy Of properly designed. con-
structed and appointed farm buildings.
Under the most favorable conditions,
beef cattle will take on weight Mt q
prescribed rate, while under the least
favorable conditions such stock barely
will hold its own though given the
same ration. Between these two ex-
tremes there are, Of course, intermedi-
ate stages.
Buildings that are adequate in size,

methods of construction and furnished

acter are a necessary adjunct to sue
ceSsful farming. and the most economi-
cal that can be used. They will pay
many times 6 per cent on the differ
ences between their cost and the cost
of the makeshift variety.
Progressive farmers are planning for
the future. Farm buildings are being
arranged in q way to minimize labor
and save time, and with the thought
ever in mind. to insure the comfort Of
the stock and the safety of the prod
ucts stored for use or sale.
Location Of farm buildings with re-
spect to each other in some respects is
a matter of individual preference, in
others it is a matter of definitely es-
tablished rules. The principle is that
all products should flow continuously
In one direction. 1t should not be
necessary to cart hay, grain or offal
back and forth.
Farmers, country contractors, archi-
tects and those in charge of agricul-
tural experimental work have col
Elaborated to produce the modern farm
building. The result is found in the
sanitary dairy. the use of silage, better
housing Of live stock. the general en-
ployment Of labor-saving farm machin-
cry and building equipment, the con-
tinuOus improvement in seed and stock
end the yield of both.
In farm building, Radford's stand
ard plank frame construction has been
the greatest boon and the source of
greatest economy of recent years. This
ear Of construction does away with
a part Of the cost materials by using
Pinch plank instead of heavy timbers.
A further and great economy is effect
