BUTTER AND OLEOM ARG ARlNE.

The dairying business is not respon- sibe for the increased price of butter. Butter is high primarily because feed Is high. It costs more to produce milk much more. Dairymen, not being in the business as a philanthropy, but be- cause they must live, have been com relled to charge the public in accord, ance with it's advanced value.
 The big packing houses. however. have been taking advantage of the sit nation by pushing oleomargarine as never before, with the result that their extensive advertising has. speeded up eleomargarine sales wonderfully. The s'just as good argument preaominates in the oleo selling campaigns, and the price, of course, is materially less than the price for good butter. If dairying

UNLEARNING OLD THEORIES
 ABOUT ATHLETICS.

The great war is the most stupen- dous graveyard for conventional the ories and beliefs that progress ever invented.
 Take athletics, for instance. Time was when we put much stock on the artificial gymnastics-with it's dumb bells, pulleys and the Swedish sys- tenn. Calisthenics also got us going quite a bit.
 But the trained horse has never been through gymnasium, nor the monkey in the wilds of Africa. accord. ing to Lieutenant Herbert of tho French army, who has been lecturing against artificial gymnastics and in favor of more natural system.
 Herbert gets his ideas from the sav- ages and animals of the African wilds.
 A monkey, he says, which travels around on all fours, and climbs trees without effort, is the most perfectly developed animal physically on earth.
 Therefore Herbert would have man. kind take cue from this develop ment He wants men to train in the open air, half naked. climb trees, run on all fours, crawl on their stomachs, roll over the ground, ford streams and go through movements anima'1 would. This training, Herbert points out, toughens the man and makes him "a different animal altogether"
 That's the kind of training, ha says, that soldiers must have-and that civ ilians could with profit "enjoy."
 There is no doubt about it that the war is going to knock much of the artifciality out of our lives, but if we compromise with the Herbert theories we'll probably get all the trough work" and hardening exercises" We can stand.

When the American troops landed ,t a French port for the first time and heard that they were being called "Sammies" they are said to have be- come indignant. Probably they thought the name didn't have sufti- cient dignity.
 There is no record of the fact, but possibly the British soldiers felt the same way the first time they were called "Tommics."
 By this time, however, our Sanm,,s have discovered that the word is one of endearment, just like "Tommy" is,
 Sammy is good term to apply to good soldier, and our boys have evidently gotten to like it.

It is said Sammies in France ate in tercsted in mail day-whch comes once a week-almost as much as they arc interested in pay day. That should be tip to the population at home to keep the boys cheered up with cheer full letters from home. Nothing can put satisfaction and morale into troops so much as good personal let ters. The writing of letters and their receipt is the most important amuse ment at the front-the rest is hard work.

interests do not eventually feel the pinch of this keen competition "on ac- count of the war; it would indeed be remarkable.
 There is the possibility that thou sands, if not millions, of people-for- mer butter consumers-might be won over to oleomargarne consumption permanently. They may go in for oleo because it is cheaper and stay with it because they think it will do.
 The way out of the difficulty, or menace, for the dairying interests, or those farmers who dairy on the side. is to get together for cooperation and be as active in pushing butter as the olco makers arc in pushing oleo.

tette. As Yale lost it's match to the University of Pennsylvania a week ago by one sided score, the team's S supporters fear that the five is not strong enough to finish in the lead in the championship race. It's only vic- tory to date was over Dartmouth. at Hanover two weeks ago.
 Tales only hope of finishing in the premier position lies in a remarkable reversal of form, turning the tables on Penn here and outscofing Prince ton at Tigertown in the annual bout there. This the staunchest support CTS of the team see no prospect of the five being able to do. It's defensive game has been consistently weak, and the experiment made Saturday of using Radcliffe Dunn in the guard po- sition was not successful, as that play CT lacks avoirdupois to withstand such an attack as the Tiger and the Qua ker quintets have used this season.
 The team suffered a severe blow when Bushby left the squad. He was the most promising of the guard can didates, and the defense of the team, which has been ragged all season, was rapidly becoming stiffened when he was compelled by circumstances eff fecting his college standing to retire. Damn is clever and fast. but not heavy enough for the ideal intercollegiate defensive player.

Benny Has Many Deformities on His
 Hands and Arms.

The news that little Benny Kauff of the Giants has waived exemption and has been placed Tn Class IA ot the draft list means that in all prob ability Benny will be in the army by July at the latest That is, of course, providing he can pass the physical ex- animation.
 While kauff is a disgustingly heal- thy lad, there is some doubt of his ability to measure up to army require nsents. In the first place his arms are not of the same length and in the second place, his ringers are twisted like corkscreWs.
 These physical defects do not in tetfere with his ball playing. They may bar him from the army, however, far Heinie Groh, of the Cincinnati Reds is said to have been rejected on phy- sieal examination on the ground that his fingers were bent in such a way as to urevent his handling a rife pro pssly.
 Hauff has had a hankering to get In the war ever since the Caitei! States broke with Germany. Only the Ascr that he is the main support ot his family has prevented his Volun- .earing.
 When the news that diplomatic re- aaons with the kaiser were smashed irst came out the Giants were on heir way north last spring and play Hg an exhibition game with the De- roit Tigers at the town of Mani1ar- an, Kan, Kauff couldn't think CT talk f anything but the war when he heard ne news,

Ever hear the true story of Bighead Riley?" queried a veteran billiardist. "Well, Riley was a billiard player in the '7es and sos and made his head quarters in Detroit, the home of John Sereiter, another player of note. Riley was about five feet six inches tall and weighed 97 pounds, but had head so remarkably large that his sobrieuet of 'Bighead' was inevitable. At times when the billiard industry was slow Riley and his friends had a sure meth cd of replenishing the exchequer. Riley would go up to the top story of Fire mems hall and put his head out of a window. His confederates would stop pedestrians and get them to bet on Riley's weight. Fact!"
