The financial conditions confront
ing the majority of the larger east
ern college and university athletic
associations are causing considerable
careful accounting in an effort to
keep balance in the treasury. The
lack of football games, the chief
source of revenue, has cut deeply
into the surplus of prewar times
and where heavy fixed charges OBJ
tain, there is danger of a deficit un-
less the situation changes.
Close followers of college athletics
are therefore inclined to the opinion
that football will have to be on re-
stricted scale, at those colleges which
did not support the game last winter
or all collegiate athletics aban-
doned until after the war.

AS the result of a decision by the

Carpenter, the European heavy

ONES INABILITY TO SLEEP
insomnia May Be Overcome by For
getting About 1t and Avoiding
Unnecessary Excitement.

If you don't sleep well don't worry
about it. Your lack of sleep isn't 60
ing to kill you or drive you insane.
That is the substance Of the advice
given by a doctor writing in the Amer
lean Magazine.
1t is advice that a good many nerv-
GUS people need, observes the Kansas
City Star. How often do you hear
some one apprehensively complaining
that he lies awake "all night" The
chances are that he only thinks he was
awake all night, and that in reality he
got several hours of sleep between the
spells of wakefulness. But even If he
was wakeful, it is nothing to be
alarmed about. Especially is it moth
ing to warrant taking medicine.
The way to get over insomnia Is to
pay no attention to it. and not to talk
about it. Sleep is largely matter of
habit. 1t depends on living ration
ally and going to bed at regular time.
You are likely to be wakeful if you
stir yourself up in the evening. II
you work at night or get deeply In
terested in anything you find it diff
cult to relax. That is the chief rea-
son for wakefulness after party. The
excitement of the crowd interferes
with sleep. The ideal way is to taper
off the days activities as evening
comes.

one Of his subordinates to investigate.
This man, Petrillo by name, who was

FISHING A MECHANICAL ART

ley-AIi Operator Need Do 10
to Turn Crank,

Most operations nowadays can be
performed by machinery. Time was
when the best sport in angling was
obtained by the use Of rope, with
patience at one end and suitable
bait at the other. The Wide World
Magazine gives a revised edition of
this plan. Here it is in all its SIM
plicity:
You hang an immense four-corner-
cd net on a rope which passes over
a pulley, turn a handle, and drop the
net into the sea. After time, which
may vary according to the mood you
are in and the quality Of the tobacco
you are smoking, you wind up the net
and look into it. If it is empty, YOU
let the handle 60 a few turns, and
drop the net into the sea again; If it
contains any fish you draw it and bag
them. In this way you reduce fishing
to mechanical art. When you haul
up this huge net from the briny deep
and find by the aid Of telescope that
1t contains one tiny, solitary fish

cesstul "casts," you rejoice with Joy
nnspsakable and call in your neigh
hOrs to the feast.
