BILL HART TALKS TO BOYS:

Never take unfair advantage. This
is the absolute rule of good sports
manship.
The rules of hunting best apply to
oil other sports. If you take advan-
tage of the animal you are hunting
you are not a sportsman. 1 once saw
a man creep through the brush on a
river bank and let so both barrels of
a shotgun into a small flock of ducks
while they were padding around in
the stream. That act was not sports
manlike; it was d~espicable slaughter.
Had that man been a true sportsman
he would have allowed the ducks to
rise n shot them while they were
on the wing.
An athlete in a boxing contest
cannot hit q man below the belt nor
be promptly disqualified by the refe-
rec.
In a contest between q cowboy
n a bucking bronco the rider is
not allowed to put a bit in the horses
mouth, he cannot hobble his stirrupS
and he is forbidden to pull leather"
which is holding on to the saddle
horn or touching any part of the
saddle with his hands-because such
acts would be taking unfair advan-
tage of a game animal.
In all sports among human beings
there are judges, referees, and UNI
pires to see that the rules are not
tr~ansgressed. You must grow up
with the idea constantly in mind that
you will not take unfair advantage
of a wild animal simply because
there is no referee present to render
O decision.
/ consider outdoor sports the
strength of American boyhood.
Whether it is baseball, boxing swim
ming, horseback riding, foot-racing,
hunting or any good, clean, whole

but win fairly.

TYPICAL DAY, FOR WILSON
Worked Man in Paris Knows

Paris. April 14.-U. N. So-The
man in America who thinks that
President Wilson isn't hurrying mat
ters at the peace conference might
take a look at his daily program. The
president is probably the hardest
worked man in Paris today.
Here was one typical day:
The president rose at s o'clock and
breakfasted with Mrs. Wilson. He
retired Immediately to his study.
where he personally wrote on his own
typewriter the text Of the agreement
reached the previous evening dealing
with the responsibilities Of the au-
thors OF the war.
At e:15 he left the White House
and motored to the Ritz hotel. where
he paid his respects TO the queen OF
Rumania. He conferred with her for
twenty minutes, she presenting the
boundary claims OF her country, and
arranging a later audience with the
prime minister.
Returning to the White House,
President Wilson conferred with
Henry White and Col. House on mat
ters connected with reparations. At
IL O'Clock he attended the session of
the big four, which lasted until i
pm. After luncheon he drove to the
with Baron Makeno. Incidentally the
elevator wasn't running and he had
to climb four flights of stairs.
After the visit to Makeno, he re-
turned to the White House for an
other session of the big four to dis
cuss the Saar basin situation. He ate
dinner at pm. and then motored
10 the Hotel Crillon. where he first
received an international deputation
IF women. and later sat as chairman
of the league of nations constitution
He personally led the

London; April 1.-The summary OF

Of both the council and assembly and
also condemns the terms upon which
the covenant may be amended and per-
mission given any. nation TO withdraw

covenant as unharmed by the Monroe
doctrine amendment, which IL believes
should facilitate the adhesion OF the
United States 20 the covenant.
The Daily News. which is a warm
champion OF the principle of the league,
sees danger in some OF its provisions.
II objects TO the constitution of the
new council which, II says. will man
ifestly be controlled by prominent rep-
resentatives OF the FIVE great powers
when they are in agreement" and 1t
fails to see how the four representatives
OF other powers chosen for the assem-
bly, can have much independence. The
newspaper does not express any great
confidence in the efficacy of the league
in any case.
Not Union OF Peoples.
The labor newspaper. the Daily Her
aid. says the summary does not indi-
cate much improvement on the origi-
nal draft. II declares from a demo-
