The influenza epidemic has left q
large number Of children homeless
through the death Of one or both per-
ents Many of these children have
been sent to the Tennessee Children's
Home Society, where they are being
cared for until suitable homes can
be found for them. One particularly
pathetic case is reported The moth
er and father both died Of influenza,
leaving seven children homeless ard
without relative who could care
for them. Among the children were
twins two weeks old These babies.
now two months old, are at the re-
ceiying home Of the society waiting
for someone to give them perma-
nent home There are many others
at the receiving home, both boys and
girls, up to seven years Of age. The
Thanksgiving season inspired many
people to extend their love and pro-
lection and the opportunity for
chance in life, to these little ones,
but many are left, and it is hoped
that others may be stirred by the
coming Of the holy season Of the
Christ child, the bright shadow Of
which is already seen, to open their
doors to little one who has suf-
fered the greatest Of all losses that
of its mother.

All regulations Of the government
affecting raw cotton ended Friday
with the dissolution Of the cotton
distributing committee Of the war in
dustries board. While there was no
announcement by officials as to the
considerations which led to the de-
cision to abolish the committee, it
was understood that they no longer
regarded it as necessary to control
distribution, now that the world mar
kets have been reopened with the
ending Of the war. Another ac-
tion by the government affecting cot
ton was the ALLEGATION by the ship
ping board Of two ships of 21,200
tons for the cotton-carrying trade.
In making this announcement Balm
bridge Colby, Of the shipping board,
said that great quantities Of cotton
are awaiting transportation and that
he is very hopeful of being able to
follow up these ALLEGATIONS shortly
with additional tonnage as it is re-
leased for war requirements"

Extension Of the period Of govern
ment control Of railroads for five
years, until January /, 1924, has been
recommended to Congress by Direc-
tor-General McAdoo. Advantages Of
this, Mr.. McAdoo says, are that it
would take the railroad question out
Of politics for the present, give time
for carrying out an extensive pro-
gram Of improvement and provide for
q fair test of unified control to in
dictate the permanent solution Of the
railroad problem. This conclusion
of Mr.. McAdoo's accords with that
Of President Wilson.

ST. JOHNS TO KEEP
UP FIGHTING SPIRIT
Only Three Veterans Return. War
Takes Eight Of College Foot
ball Stars

Johnny Wilson, the clever mentor
of the St. Johns squad. has served
notice that he will put team on the
field despite the inroads made upon
his squad by Mars, says G. Edward
Sparrow In the Baltimore Sun. Only
three OF his regulars Of last year are
in moIeskins. but the coach wrote as
follows:
I'VE are anxious 20 have our same
old spirit in the student body and
know no better way than TO continue
athletics"
It is the belief OF the authorities a.
St Johns that the time allowed for
recreation will be about two hours a
day, and as that was about all ever
devoted TO football practice they de-
cided to go right on with their ath-
I letics.
Twenty-six candidates answered the
report call and the three veterans
who returned to school showed that
football had paid a big toll to war,
for the other members of the 1917
eleven are in the service of Uncle
Sam. But there are subs and now
men TO build with and anyone who
knows Wilson realizes thai he will
have a team we'll drilled in the fun
damentals and the intricacies of the
forward pass.
All of the State colleges which have
decided to play the game have been
booked by ST. Johns and should a gap
or two be made in the solid front
dates will be filed in with service
teams in this vicinity. But Wilson
said he hoped Hopkins would fall into
line and help keep football alive in
Maryland.
The one long trip, tina. to Virginia
Military Institute, may have to be
called off. for it would keep the Ca
diets from Annapolis over night. This
is In opposition to the Governments
wishes, in the opinion Of most au-
thori.ies, and it seems to be especially
true so far as the month of October
is concerned. The schedule follows:
October 5-Delaware, at Newark,
Del.
October 12-Gallaudet, at Washing
ton
October 19--virginia Military In
stitute, at Lexington, Va.
October 26-Western Maryland, at
