What is to happen to college foot.
ball this season?
With the first officers reserve
camp filled with college athletes, with
with many more applying for the sec
ofd camps and the draft taking more,
the question Of continuing football
this fall naturally arises.
To find the attitude toward football
wrote to coaches and athletic di-
reetots Of number Of representa-
tive colleges asking:
81 Whether football would be
continued this fall.
(2) The number Of eligible men
who would not return to college on
account of the war.
co Whether the freshmen rule
would be abolished in order to fill
the deplated ranks of athletes.
Letters received from a number OF
coaches convince me that while the
football squads Of practicing every
college will be seriously depleted,
athletics will be continued and the
rules governing college sport before
the war will not be changed.

college sports: Fred ]. Murphy,

MONKEYS MUST
LIVE IN THE OPEN
Sells FlOto Circus Soon to be
Here, Tests a Medical
Theory

When the medical fraternity ex.
pounded the theory that open air
was the best treatment for tubercu-
losis the circus was the first to try
out the theory. The first to do so
is the sells-Floto circus, which will
be in Fairmont Wednesday, August
10Th.
For many years the death rate
among monkeys with the circus was
appalling. Nearly all died Of loupg
troubles. In the course Of season
monkeys representing thousands OF
dollars investment died. Naturally,
anything looking toward relief from
this loss Of life-and capital-was
welcomed.
At the winter quarters of the Sells.
Floto Circus big well lighted and
we'll ventilated monkey house was
built. The management decided to
leave the monkeys out all the win
ter. Nature soon OWNED this and
with the coming of fall the monkeys
took on unusually heavy coats OF
hair.
They were allowed only the shell.
ter of a pine wood box, and its pur-
pose was to break the winds. OF
forty monkeys put in the cage in No
vember only three died the first year.
The only heat they had was that of
their own bodies and such as they
could get from crOwding close to a
troupe Of trained pigs that shared
the cage with them.
Since the experiment was made the
monkeys with the Sells-Floto Circus
have proven the most healthy in the
world. In buying new monkeys the
newcomers from warm chimes are
gradually made accustomed to the
northern country. Under open air
treatment they thrive.

PETR0GRAD, June S:-The re-
form Of Russia'S judicial system, pro
ceeding rapidly under the Provisional
Government, has brought with it the
Institution Of women magistrates, IN
known elsewhere in Europe.
The higher courts already have
been reformed. Cne OF the new gov.
ernments first acts was to reintro'
dice the famous Judicial Statute,
promulgated by Alexander II in 1864
during his brief reforming fit after
the Crimean War, but abolished by
his reactlonary successors. The re-
form Of the minor local courts, the
peasant courts and the police courts
Is a more complicated task, but Vir.
tually it is accomplished.
Chief is the reform of the Courts
Of the Peace, corresponding to police
courts in other European states. The
system Of peasant jurisdiction also
has been reformed by the abolition
Of the volost courts. Before the
Revolution the real judicial authority
in the villages was the Rural Chief
or Zemski NatChalnik, usually retired
army officer or other person without
legal training, who also was admins
traitor of peasant affairs; and there
fore was often in a position to justify
as magistrate his own illegal acts as
administrator. The rural chiefs have
all been dismissed and, for the peas
ants as already for the soCalled
privileged classes" justice definitely
is severed from administration.
