Washington University may result in
the adoption Of new system Of stu

sumed that the football returns carry
the burden Of other sports, but to date
this has not been the case.
The suggestion of a single tax was
adopted at a recent meeting of the
athletic council. According to the plan
each student pays stipulated athletic
sum in addition to his tuition. There
are about 1900 students at Washington
University. About 900 have purchased
season football tickets at SO. making q
total of 5000. the alumni tickets are
sold at IS each.

ST. Louis, Mo-. Dec. THAT Jack
Miller will not manage the st. Louis
Nationals except in extremity, is the
impression received from sources con-
nected with the board of directors OF
the club. Branch Richey will not adj
NIT that Miller either Is or Is not un-
der consideration, but it is likely that
Miller will not direct the st. Louis Ma
tionals unless all other candidates OF
merit prove unavailable. II Is proba-
BILE that rather than let Miller manage
the club the men financing the Car
dinal idea, would ask Richey to take
charge and direct the team.
The owners do not think 1t wise to
pick a player from the ranks.
John Evers has been brought 10 the
attention of Richey as a possible sue
cessor to Miller Higgins. Evers
claims to be free to negotiate, but the
Philadelphia Nationals have waived
on him. Richey seems more anxious
to get an outfielder than he is to pick
the next manager. He will not trade

PARAGON OF DOGS
Steamboat Captains Pet Was in
Class by Itself.
One Performance, However, Brought
Argument Whether He Was Wisest
Of His Kind or Plain
Canine Fool.

The bulldog Of the Esmeralda, packet
freighter for the settlements between
Portland and Machias, in intelligence
and accomplishments, Is reckoned
paragon of dogs. In Portland he walks
uptown with the captain and returns
alone with any purchases and newspa-
pers which may be intrusted to him.
He even brings back meat, and this
quota Of self-restraint puts him in
class by himself, Holman Day writes
In Harper's Magazine.
One day, according to legend, this
dog was actor in an affair which has
been debated warmly ever since; it
gives rise to the argument whether the
dog is the wisest Of his generation or
just plain canine fool. There is no
middle ground among the disputants
along the water front. The event itself
was sufficiently grotesque to merit
mention.
The captain decided to test the dogs
Intelligence as shopper. Therefore
he put coin into basket which he
hitched to the animals collar, and then
raped his knuckles On an outspread
newspaper, getting the dogs undivided
attention. Lastly, he pointed up the
wharf and told the dog to "Gitw FidO
obeyed with alacrlty and went up
the wharf's roadway in cloud of dust.
At the head of the long wharf there
was q bold terrace of a little park
whose Irish caretaker had turned out
to Craze his pair Of pet goats, hitched
together with a short leash. The dog
dashed up the terrace and overlook the
frightened goats, setting his Jaws ON
the. leather leash with his best grip.
The goats leaped from the embank-
ment, carrying the dog with them, and
landed on a fruit peddler's doing
horse, goat on each side, like saddle
bags; the leash held, and so did the
bulldog. Down the wharf went the
outfit, and the terrified horse did not
pause when he reached the end; he
Ieaped over the rail Of the Esmeralda
and went fiat on deck In a tangle Of
harness, goats and dog.
After matters had been set right, in
Guiding pay to the fruit merchant and
apologies to the goat owner, the cap
tain took Fido to one side and dispar-
aged his intelligence, rapping his
knuckles once more on the newspaper
and informing the canine shopper that
be had not been sent for goats or ba-
nanas.
"Just minute, sir I" broke in the
cook, who was listening. "Do you no
tice what you have been rapping your
hand onT

Helmets Save Soldiers, Lives.

A British medical correspondent
commenting upon some recent French
statistics, says: "Out of 55 cases Of
head injury 1t was found, for exam
pie, that AZ occurred in soldiers who
wore no helmets. Among the AZ there
were % fractured skulls. The remain
ing 10 cases suffered from severe scalp
wounds. Among the 13 cases which
wore helmets there was not a single
fracture Of the skull; eight showed
some concussion effects, and five had
slight wounds. A considerable num-
ber Of the unprotected cases died;
none Of the protected died. The most
significant fact which has emerged
since the helmet was introduced was
emphasized by Doctor Roussy at the
Academy of Medicine last year. He
said that the percentage Of cases show
ing wounds in the head had increased
The reason was, Of course, that the
number of sudden deaths from the
cause had markedly decreased"

Good Wear for Doctors.

'ThIs Is certainly a great year Tor
DOCTORS" remarked an inferno, accord
ing to a New York correspondent
"Only few years ago there were SO
many NJ. DIS with their shingle out
here that some of them had to take up
other business to keep the wolf from
the door. But now there is a dearth
of these professional men. In fact,
they are so scarce that almost every
day editorials or advertisements are
printed calling for 10000 doctors for
the French army or $4,000 doctors
wanted on the British battle 'front.'
The figures are growing all the time.
and very soon 1t is likely, unless Rus
sia RECEIVERS quickly from her political
and social delirium tremens,' we shall
receive a demand for $4,000 alienists
for the Russian revolution. 1t Is n
great pity governments don't really ap-
preciate what a doctors life is worth
over there"

- KTY years IS but a brief span in
the life of most cities, yet these
past 60 years in the life Of
Seattle have seen its develop
ment from primeval wilderness to a
city Of worldwide Importance. The
era of development started in 1852
when a group Of hardy pioneers, one
of whom is still living in Seattle, land
ed on the wide beach at Al-Ki point,
Just outside the entrance of the har-
Dor. Here the first rude cabins were
built and the first homes Of the future
city established. But soon, in seeking
better protection for themselves from
the storms Of the Pacific, better means
Of wrestling a necessary livelihood from
the soil and the waters, the pioneers
rounded the wooded promontory of Du-
vanish, entered the harbor and eStab-
lished their settlement on Its eastern
shore.
As new settlers were attracted by
the fertility Of the soil, says Earle
Gage In Grit, the advantages Of the
harbOr location and the soft, equable
climate all the year round, there came
a sawmill, which was the institution
of the great lumber business, which to-
day has given the state Of Washington,
and Seattle In particular, a world repu-
tatiOn.
First and last Impressions Of city,
or o. community settlement Of any
Bize, are created by conditions dis
closed In the business districts. It Is
here that the majority Of visitors first
find themselves; 1t Is here that indi-
vidual enterprise is inspired and from
here that all manner Of undertakings,
large and small, are directed and con-
trolled. Whatever the geographical ex-
tent Of city. its business district is
Its heart, the pulsatlons Of which are
felt to the utmost suburb and far be-
yond.
Plenty Of Skycrapers.
Building for business purposes in
Seattle has kept stride with every de-
velopment In architecture and repre-
sents every sound theory Of modern
construction. Even the older business
buildings, fully occupied for many
years, stand as examples Of the best
that was known at the time Of their
construction. The era Of the sky
scraper found Seattle ready. On all
Sides are found towering giants Of
