with Spain, insisting that even the
struggle for independence might have
been terminated months earlier had
the colonies brought the selective serv-
ice plan into operation.
New Plan Means Fair Play
He cited some of the many unfor-
tunate evils of discrimination for
which the older system had been re-
sponsible, stating that from the stand
point of fair play and of equal distri-
button of burdens, the volunteer sys-
tenn cannot be considered in the same
breath with the selective service
plan"
Pointing to the advantage accruing
to university undergraduates gener-
ally through the operation of the draft
he said: 1.-THE young men of the uni
versity now feel justified in remaining
upon this campus because they know
that through the training they will re-
ceive they will be better able to bear
the responsibilities that will be thrust
upon them at the time of the govern
ment's CALL"
Honor to Go or Stay
Mr. French posted that the under
graduate who has not yet attained his
majority is doing his full duty in con-
tinuing his university course, because
selectiye service has made it an honor
to go and an honor to stay"
He dealt briefly with the possible
duration of the war, saying that COM
plete peace in Russia might result in
prolongation of the struggle for
several years and also laying stress
ON the seriousness of the Italian sit
uation.

HARD WORK FOR CUPID.

RoumanIan Farmers Try to Keep Their
Sons From Wedlook.
The Roumanian farmer doesn't think
much of matTimony. A bachelor hasn't
missed much, In his opinion. And
when his son gets the marrying bee
buzzing in his bosom the Roumania
dad is apt to take a hickory club and
beat it out of the young mans system
That's why the Roumanian youth
when he is In love never confides the
happy secret to his father. He goes
and tells his mother, for women still
believe in love and marriage, although
they lead from the altar to the wash
tub. But the father has faced the mule
heels and the pillow handles so long In
his hard struggle to feed the hungry
mouths opened to him by marriage
that he has forgotten he was once a
lover signing lovers tales. He is about
as much In favor of state wide matri
mOny as a sick boy Is in favor of cas-
tor oil
So the son tells his mother. The
mother feeds father the best dinner
she can cook, and when the old man
is in a mellow mood she breaks the
sad news about their boy. If she is
skillful enough she wins his grouchy
consent, and he calls in his two best
men friends. These two go with his
son to the girls home. Perhaps she
has heard nothing Of the love affair,
but when she sees them coming she
guesses what's up. Her father enter
tains the visitors, and if he let's the
fire go out it means he has taken this
method to turn them down cold.
Roumanian wives all have silk dresses
or silk shawls. Their husbands do not
buy the silk for them; the women raise
it themselves.-Exc

II OOTBALL is an effort on the
part of forty-four shin guards
= to occupy the same place at the
same time. It Is classed as game,
but looks more like clinic. 1t is
called football because the ball is
about foot long.
1t takes twenty-five men to play
football and somewhere near twice
that number to keep them in repair.
An automobile is durability itself be-
side football player. In our large
colleges, the football garage Is con-
stantly filled during the Fall with
football players, who have had to
go into the back shop for a thor
ough overhauling. The chief objects
used in the game beside the players,
are referees whistle, two goal
posts, a Red Cross wagon, a barrel
OF splints. a loud. virulent yell, car
load Of flags and few thousand
rooters with brass-lined threats. A
rooter is baseball fan with a cold
weather carbureter. He can stand
for hours In the snow and yell with
out disturbing anyone outside of his
own congressional district.
= The football is used in the game to
locate the disturbance. Wherever
the ball Is, there is no more peace
than there is In a love-feast with an
insurgent in 1t. The object Of the
game Is to take the ball down the
field to the goal over, under and
through the opposition without the
aid Of axes, saws, carving knives,
battering rams or dynamite. Those
who have seen good football team
LII action win realize how little these
things are needed anyway.
Football is not q peaceful game.

Lures of Gold Brick Schemes For the

VIII persons with money never learn
how to take care of it? VIII they
never guard themselves against the
horde Of tricksters who make a busi-
ness of taking advantage of the cred
ulous and especially of credulous wo-
men?
Bear In mind that no one will make
money for you when he can make it
for himself If he offers to give you
the key to wealth, suspect him, for
such keys are kept by their possessors
and are not given away to strangers.
The postOff1ce a year or two ago
showed that over $50, 100000 had been
lost by persons who listened to the
gold brick schemers, but the game still
goes on despite the vigilance of the
postoffice department and the passage
of protective measures, known as s'blue
sky laws" by many states.

count the alluring literature which

Small investors are particularly the
victims of these bunko schemes. for
the false notion prevails that a man
