FOOTBALL CLAIMS
ONLY FIVE VICTIMS
DURING 1919 SEASON

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 2s.-Ihe
toughest Of American outdoor sports
claimed five victims during the i9i9
season which practically closed with
Thanksgiving Day games, according
to reports to the Associated Press To-
day. The number of deaths, tne
lowest in years, was five less than IN
1918 and seven under the toll Of two
years ago.
Development of the open style OF
play to supplant the dangerous
smashing game is mainly responsible
for the decreasing number OF fatali-
ties in the opinion of gridiron ex-
perts. The dangers of dozen years
ago when the old style smashing
game included hurdling, flying tack
les and vicious offensive tactics nave
been almost entirely eliminated y
the new style Of football with cor
Responding decrease in the NUMBER
of deaths.

JQTTINGS OF THE FAIRMONT
MEETING

Some of the things that l noticed
at the State Association Meeting at
Fairmont, last week were as follows;
That, it was the largest and most
important assemblage of educators
ever held in West Virginia. That,
Fairmont, did nobly inentertaining
her visitors. That, the fair sex
greatly cutnumbered the sterner.
That the ladies refrained from chew
ing gum in the meetings. That,
while the Department insists tand
rightly tool on the intensive teach
ing of APPROXIMATION, the
committee on Resolutions stood stol-
idly for employing unnaturalized for
eigners to teach in our Public Schools.
That. the committee did not represent
the sentiment of the majority of the
teachers That, if any member OF
this committee ever offers for public
office it will cause many voters to
leave the square opposite his name
vacant. That, the majority of the
/ teachers did not agree with the com
lmittee, was shown by the many
amendments, offered and adopted to
the resolutions. That, the Resolu-
lions offered by the committee and
those adopted appeared like Wilson's
League of Nations would show up IT
referred to the people in 1920. That,
Rural teachers were not represented
on the committee. That, this was
proven by the many amendments Of
fered and adopted. That while the
churches threw open their doors to US
not a session was opened with de-
votional exercise. That, the most in
spring address was made by DR.
Goodnight of Bethany college. That
the only recognition of a Divine Be
ing was the singing of a few sacred
songs by Prof. Damn, and the Bene-
diction offered by DR.. Goodnight
LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF PROF
DAMN AND DR.. GOODNIGHT.

BARBOUR CoUNTY's PIONEER

Frederick Booth, Sr, of Route A, is
probably Barbour County's oldest liv-
ing pioneer and one Of the county's
most remarkable characters. Mr..
Booth was 81 years old last August
and has been a user of tobacco for
IS to 80 years of that time. Several
years ago he lost an eye at a lime
stone quarry, but even with that loss
he reads the papers without the aid
of glass and to this time has not
gone through that period of old age
known as childishness. His mind
functions are almost perfect he still
shaves himself with the old fashioned
razor. He has lived to see his child
rem grow up about him, grandchild-
rem and great grandchildren.

TRAIN BANDIT CARLISLE SHOT

DOUGLAS, Wyo., Dec. 2.-William
Carlisle, the artful train robber. who
for three weeks had laughingly de-
fled civil, railroad and private de-
tectres, was captured today near
Glend, Wyo., after he had been Sc
riously wounded.
The bandit had secludede himself
the cabin of Frank Williams, about
eighteen miles from Douglas, and
fought desperately until he fell from
wounds.
He was shot through one lung, but
doctors said the wound was not likely
to prove fatal. When brought to the
Douglas Hospital he said:
"I'm glad the chase has ended.
Carlisle attracted nationwide IN

Penitentiary in this State, he held UP
and robbed the passengers on Los

After that escapade, messages pur-
porting to be from him and haunting
officials because of their vain efforts
to capture him were received thru
out the country.

That Can Best Be Spared

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Gov
ernment frightened its grip on the
coal situation today in three direc-
tions reaching to the railroads, the

Atinue passenger trains where they
can be best spared.
This announcement was made to-
night by Director General Hines in
the following statement:
With view to further .conserva-
ton of coal by the Railroad Admin

the peace treaty were renewed to-
day with the reassembling of Con-

ators on both sides was that it might
be weeks before the movement
reached formal action,
Republican and Democratic leaders
found themselves in agreement that
the legislative programme should not
be longer delayed, and that the
Treaty should not be brought again
before the Senate formally until a
way to finally dispose of it had been
opened by private discussion.
There were indications that the
resolution to declare state of peace
might also be delayed until important

NOW MAKE 500 OVERLAND rs
DAILY
WHY'S Overland continues great
progress in producing sensational
light car
l25oo ARE ON PAYROLL

The Willys-O Overland Company con-
tinues it's remarkable progress in
building Overland 4, the sensational
light car which has introduced new
standard of easy riding comfort in it's
exclusive feature Of the three point
suspension springs.
Word comes from Toledo that the
production Of Overland has now
reached 500 cars day. The various
factory departments are now engaged
in spirited rivalry to accomplish
their part of the operations, 50 that
production may reach 600 Overland
as a day before the first slej ming
Getting production up to 50Wa day
on this new type of motor car has at
tracted national attention as an in
stance Of loyalty and intelligent CO.
operation on the part of a great work.
ING force of 1880 employees.
This record is further interesting
IN view Of the fact that there are
now no street cars in Toledo. The
citizens at last voted in favor of an
iouster ordinance. The railway COM
many took the city at its word and
sent the street cars into the state of
Michigan. Despite this condition, the
Willys- Overland factory has had an
attendance of 100 per cent from its
12.500 workers since Toledo became
trolley-less.
To get them back and forth from
their homes each day, the WHY'S
Overland Company has organized a
complete transportation system OF
trucks, autos, jitney buses, and other
conveyances. But at that, 1t means
long walks and very early breakfasts
for thousands of the Overland work
ers. But they get to work every day.
There is so much interest and en-
thusiasm among the workers in the
Toledo factory over Overland that
the company has taken steps to pro-
vide a demonstration of the new cars
unexcelled easy riding qualities to
every man anu Wohiaii III 10 Sn'PioS
The free-ride -for-all programme is
now being arranged. Nothing like
this, it is said, has ever before beer
been attempted by any automobile
plant. It is explained that the
: WHY'S Overland management in pro
. viding the demonstration merely ac
ceded to general request from the
workers in the plant.
The sense of duty and the loyalty
. reflected in the daily attendance 0.
more than 1880 workers and the On
usual pride in the product they arr
making is refreshing and encourag

what general industrial unrest. APP
