Jim and | Conspire Re-
gardins Buried Treasure.

What queer chance. what mys-
terious chain of events had brought
my lapis ring back to me? The
question worried me. And as |
slipped the ring onto my finger. a
new thought bothered me. l real
lied for the first time that the ring
actually connected me, Jane Lori
mer. with events of stupendous i'm
portance to my country.
Goodness gracious, You've been
so absorbed in a lot OF silly senti-
ment, Jane Lorimer, all beginning
and ending with your own feelings
and doings'-so l scoldcd myself
that you've come near missing a
mighty big responsibility to the
government
Thereupon I wrote to Jimmy
boy:
i've been reading all I can get
hold of about the senate commit
tees Investigations of German
propaganda. Isn't that truly
weird tale. Jim? The most thrill
ing drama of intrigue ever STAGED in
the world! And isn't it perfectly stun
ming to find that you and l are link
ed up with it? Or at least we will
be when we report to the authorities
what we know about the jewels in
the U-boat and the clue l have to the
location of the sunken submarine.
And although it breaks my heart into
bits, 1 suppose we are in honor bound
to give up our big adventure, and hand
over all our informa tion-and let a
lot of Congressman have the fun
maybe! l could weep, Jim
rrl ho 20
days in a disgusted and detected
frame of mind. Life wasn't keeping
its shining promises. The trail of the
serpent was over everything. Only
my little job saved me from being
wretchedly morbid.

WORK OR FIGHT.
College Athletic Directors Don't Know
 Where They Stand.

A good many college football coaches and sport directors are pom dering over the question as to whether they come under the work or fight order. The question assails not only men who are in the draft, but many who are over 31, for none desire to be engaged in any activity which is classed as unessential by the govern
 ment. Some of the coaches already
 have resigned their positions and we fear a good many more will follow
 suit. It looks as if there will be a
 dearth of competent men. Some of the coaches are going into industrial occupations while others are trying their hardest to land commissions in the army. The latest to succeed In that endeavor is Dave Morrow who last winter was appointed head foot ball coach at Washington and Jeffer- son to succeed Sol Metzger, who had become athletic director under the Y. M. c. A. at Camp Dix. Morrow has resigned and accepted a captaincy in the Sanitary Corps. He has been as- signed to Camp Meade. Several can- didates are under consideration by Graduate Manager Murphy and 1t is quite likely that the job will go to Dutch Somers the old Pennsylvania player who has coached at Villanova, Colgate and Michigan Aggies.
 It is not believed that college coaches come under the work or fight" order, for they really are mem- bers of the faculty. They are part of the teaching corps of the colleges. Some institutions. such as Columbia and Oberlin, have made their coaches members of the teaching staff. The war will accelerate the movement to class all coaches as teachers. Divers professors of Latin and the like may not be in sympathy with that tenden- cy, but it's a good thing for the stu dents the colleges and the country at large.
