three minutes of playing and Kelly,
the doughty halfback of the Rutgers
giants, had~gone through the line for
the first touchdown, the Lehigh root
ers knew that their gridiron players
were in for a trimming.
In the second quarter Robson, the
star colored tackle pulled a forward
pass out of the atmosphere and raced
forty yards to a touchdown. A few
minutes previous to this play the Le-
high team had pulled a forward that
netted them about twenty yards, but
when the Rutgers plungers success

that they were as good at open playing
as they excelled at the mass forma-
ton.
In the second half Rutgers carried

Kelly and Robson shone for Rut-

quarter. French played a very bril-

In the last few seconds of play
French made a seventy yard run only
to be downed on Lehigh's three yard

I do not need to tell you, Mr.. Hus-

You can cite a dozen widows whom

induced by the deacons in their

To Husbands and Fathers
By DOROTHY DIX,

Attention, Mr.. Husband and Father!
ly for you. Please read them.
Have you made your will? And II
you have made it, have you tied up
whatever money you are leaving your
wife and daughter in some sort Of a
fool-proof trust, so that they can
neither spend it. nor give it away, nor
be cheated out of it?
If you have not done this you have
committed a crime against those who
are dependent upon you and who look
to you. and have a right to look to
you, to defend them against a world
that is hard and cruel to penniless
women.
II you have not done this, go this
very day to your lawyer and make
your will, and leave your property IN
trust to your wife and daughters.
Many men put off making their wills
because they hate to face the thought
of death. This is puerile cowardice.
The one certain thing in an uncertain
world Is death. 1t is bound to come
to each one Of US, and most comfort
ing thought that any man can have
when he comes to lay his head on the
pillow for the last time is that he Is
leaving those he loves safeguarded
against want.
! If there Is a hell 1t can have no
! worse torment than the remorse a
man must suffer IL. after death, his
spirit can visit the earth and see his
poor. helpless old wife eating the bit
ter bread of dependence, and his ten
deTly reared daughters battling hope;
lessly against poverty because he was
too stupid and careless to make a will
settling the money he left them on
them in such a way that they could
not lose it.
I repeat again with all the emphasis
and earnestness of which 1 am ca
pable. Mr.. Husband and Father, make
will and leave your wife's and
daughters property in trust so that
they cannot touch the principal.
Fifty years hence when women have
gone into business, and every girl Is
brought up to follow some gainful oc-
cupation, women as a class may know
how to handle money and it may be
safe to leave them their property out
right, but at the present time they
lack this knowledge, and it is not safe
to leave 1t to them unsecured.
Every man knows this. He knows
that he wouldn't trust his wife to
handle his business or decide on HIS
Investments. Then why does he think
that his death will work some sort
Of a miracle In her that will inspire
her with sufficient financial acumen
to handle his estate when he is gone
OF course no such miracle occurs
and the familiar tragedy that you
have seen happ,n to a dozen Of your
friends families win happen to your

and a face that has lost all of its jolly
middle-aged prettiness. You look once
into the haggard, desperate eyes and
swallow hard. and haven't the courage
to meet them again.
For Mrs. A is the widow of your old
friend. Many is the good dinner you've
eaten in her beautiful home. Many Is
the jolly ride you've taken in her au-
tomobile, for A was a rich man, and
when he died his family came into a
comfortable pot of money.
But they haven't a cent now. Some
how, the whole fortune slipped through
Mrs. AS fingers. Bad investments,
reckless extravaganza. people who
cheated her, relatives who borrowed
and couldn't pay back. Same old
story, and Mrs. a has come to you
to ask you If you won't help her TO
get some work, something whereby
she can support herself.
What can you say to her? What can
you do for her? What, in all this busy
world that demands good and COM
petent work, can a middle-aged woman
who has never been trained to any
occupation do?
She's too old to learn new tricks.
She lacks the strength and stamina
to do manual labor. She's handicap
ped by the habits of luxury and ease
of half a century OF rich living. She
lacks alertness and high spirits, the
brightness and charm that makes peo-
pie want to have young girls about
them.

Mr.. Trent 1 would not do so. He
wishes to save her from everything

"Dick, your mother will never for

her husband went to the hospital? You
