ALL SPORTS MAY BE
 RESUMED BY TIGERS

The Princeton board of ath- . ietic control, at special meet ing recently, rescinded the rul- ing made at the outbreak of the war and announced that such varsity sports as are self-sup- porting may be resumed. How ever, after careful consideration the board decided that it would be necessary to sustain the rul- ing in regard to intercollegiate football, which they deemed ad- visable to resume at this late date.
 Both baseball and basketball have always been successful from financial standpoint, and it is practically assured that these sports will be continued as usual. The swimming author ities are also confident that Princeton will be represented this year in the intercollegiate league. Crew and track earn practically nothing and are car ried on at tremendous expense. It is highly probable, however, that rowing will be resumed.

Danny Long Helped comiskey.

While a lot of credit is being given to Comiskey's pocket book, Rowland's mesmerism and all that, Danny Long steps in to have a say about who had a hand in winning the championship of the American league for the White Sox. Danny, who has acted as scout for Commy in the California region for several years, points to the fact that he sent Buck Weaver, Fred McMullin, Swede Risberg, Claude Williams and Byrd Lynn to the Chicago team.

 "Why don't you try camouflage?' P suggested Mort Talcott, and he winked at his companion, Van Dysart.
 "Yes, that's the stuff the soldiers use in the trenches to make them. selves invisible" suggested the latter
 Hardly that" interpreted Talcott 'It places the user in color harmony with his surroundings, so that he is not always discernible to the casual eye"
 Reuben Marsh said nothing, but the suggestion had sunk deep into his mind. He had made a rash conf dence, little considering that Talcott was in a measure a rival, and that they mistook his ingenious simplicity for stupidity and would rather en- courage him to commit a foolish ac- tion than otherwise. The present col 1oQuy had come about through Tal- colt asking: And what about the lit tie lady, Marsh?" The little lady, was Winnie Elston, and Reuben shook his head mournfully as he responded blankly:
 q haven't seen her for a week, and
 
 many week to come"
 ''Why, how is that?" probed Talcott. "Her father. He has taken a dis like to me, or thinks I'm not in his class. Of course, he's got lots of money and I very little of it, but Pm steady, I've got permanent position at a good salary, and of course I like Winnie, and she-well, she seems to enjoy my company"
 Artlessly, because he believed he was with friends, Reuben went on to relate how MT. Elston had ordered him from the place. Twice Reuben had invaded the grounds after night fall, to be discovered by the lynx-eyed guardian of Winnie, whom this hard hearted person apparently was treat ing as close captive.
 q saw her seated crying in her room upstairs last night" narrated Reuben pathetica1ly. 'If could have been sure no one was prowling around the garden, I could have whistled a signal she would have understood as coming from me, and maybe in some way she could have got word to me-"
 Then came the camouf1age SuggeS- tion, and the group separated. Reu-

Charm Is Necessary.

Mime. Sarah Bernhardl, the great French actress, in a signed article in Harper's Bazaar, attributes the numer- ous divorces that have come into the courts of late years to lack of charm in the women concerned.
 eff I stood at the threshold of life" says Mime. Bernhardt, asking of 1t something with which to. buy happi- ness, I should beg for charm. For if one has charm, she will be loved And a woman must have love to be happy. Beauty does not matter. If a woman has charm she can secure whatever she wants-love, success, power"
 The divine Sarah also says that this invaluable quality can be cultivated

ben had no thought of disfiguring him. self with the much used invisible" paint. He did some thinking, how ever, and he acted upon the result of these meditations the following day. He spent about an hour in the rubber goods section of a large department store. It was to select a raincoat and cap of a hue the exact color of grass. Even to the gloves, the green tinge harmonized.
 'SThat fits me out" he said compla- gently. early in the evening, as he stood before the mirror in his room, fully arrayed in ''camouf1age'' attire. He stole out from the house and crossed back yards, vacant lots and lonely lanes. He arrived at the rear fence of the Elston home without meeting a soul or having been ob- served.
 Reuben accommodated the house. His heart thumped hard as he fixed his eyes on lighted window in the second story of the house. He knew this to be the room that Winnie occu- pied and he could mentally picture her loneliness and persecution. The win dow was open, but the shade was drawn, so he had no sight of the lovely occupant of the apartment. He made out MT. Elston seated at a table in room in the lower part of the house.
 1.-The coast is clear to plant myself" he decided. "The cruel father will make his patrol later. There's a good spot to select" and Reuben scaled the fence and worked his way past patches of ShrIlbbery until he had reached a spot about twenty feet away from the house and directly in line with the window of Winnie's room.
 ''There's a convenient trellis," he ruminated. ''When the coast is clear I will signal Winnie and scale the trellis. Oh, the bliss of solacing her tender, wounded heart with the appeal of my love. my life, if need be. to re-
