1t is not one o. bonds now. 1t Is simply
a question of whether We shall avail
ourselves of the opportunities that are
being offered US.
The state of Iowa has created big
road fund derived from the taxes or
automobiles, and the federal govern
Ynent has added to these sums other
sums derived from national taxes. The
state of Iowa and the county OF Linn
can have their share OF these sums,
provided they do q little for them
selves. What we are called upon to do
locally is pay one fourth Of the costs
of the improved roads and for tina;
one fourth others will do the other
three fourths. Shah VIC neglect so
great an opportunity? Shall we re-
fuse to get so great good when
three -fourths Of the costs are paid
from the outsider How can any one
think that we shall prove ourselves sc
near sighted and 50 foolish in the
coming election?
II we do not get this money. this

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
John Eager Howard,
is IT YOURs7
JUNE 4, 1882.

A man Of whom not so much is
known as he deserves, was John
Eager Howard, soldier, patriot and
governor. He fought thru and sur
viyed some Of the bloodiest battles OF
the revolution. ..f
His story is tied tp with the early
history Of Maryland. He was born in
that state in 1852, and was educated
with private tutors, since his family
was well to do, and since public
schools were few and far between
When It was a question Of breaking
away and forming a nation, Of the
scattered colonies, Howard was one OF
the leaders In the movement. He waa
offered a coloners commission in the
army being formed. but refused to
take a captaincy in the fighters
known as the Flying Camp. He
fought thru Monmouth. Germantown,
White Plains, and at Cowpens led q
charge OF fixed bayonets in which all
the enemy We're captured or killed
General Morgan said to him after
would have shot HON. Had I failed
there would have been no need to
shoot me" he answered. He came on
| with seven surrendered swords. At the
closely contested fight Of Eutau
Springs he was the only officer who
| survived.
When reconstruction came he wa,
again active as congressman and gov.
| ernor. Then in the war Of 1872, thu
an old man himself ne raised a vol.
| untcer company of old men, who dit
| excellent service of the battlefield
He lived to be IS years old. A statue
of him is standing in Baltimore.

AIEs MINUTE EXPERIMENT"

In Philadelphia 2E pcC cent beer has
been tested by three medical students
who drank all their stomachs would
contain" according to the anatomical
measurements Of the human paunch
and according TO the report of medical
men under whom the experiment was
conducted no symptoms Of evil ap-
pcared. Legs were steady, eyesight
clear and mental powers undiminish-
ed" Two Of the young men drank
four glasses in ten minutes. ten ounce
schooners. The other took a little more
time and got away with six glasses.
Taking the forty ounces and the rate
per cent of 2Ia each Of the four had one
ounce of clear alcohol inside Of him in
side OF ten minutes. That would be the
equivalent Of about two ounces OF
whisky or the'kind Of drink the bibu-
liant ed to get "in those happy days
for Is cents over the bar in one Of
those short heavy glasses with a thick
bottom. The other fellow had half
again as much.
Now a couple Of ounces Of whisky
taken inside of ten minutes or half an
hour do not tangle the legs Of the par
taker nor drive him blind. On the con-
trary it stimulates. That's why a
drink of booze is called a hooker. But
in the course of irrigation several OF
them are likely to cause double vision
and erratic transit. II any man ever
got drunk on anything in ten minutes
he holds the record. Getting drunk
| takes a little time as well as requiring
some alcohol.
! Despite that experiment so sci
! entifically conducted and completed
within ten minute time, everybody
| who ever drank liquor knows that
| when a man can get the equivalent OF
good big drink Of whisky inside of
! him in ten minutes he can be drunk as
|
less, dependent upon his attentiyeness
and the capacity Of his tank. Decent
men looking for mild stimulation will
not get drunk on 2h per cent beer but
| the other. who wants jag and is will
ing to work for it. will get as oreide
on it as on hard cider and patent med
| icines. 1t will take him longer of
| course, but what's time to him but OPP
| portunity?
| Two and one half per cent beer
would be a long way from hard. red
| liquor. There would be much less
drunkenness Of course with beverage

When the American soldiers made
y .y,nancnt camps In France the French
= iho,l cii..lren visited the environments
or peats and as aH exercise IN language
wrote their Impressions of the Amer
lean yoldIcrs. An interesting sympo-
sum taken from those school boy ana
school 9 ri lcttcrs is Published In the
saturday Evcnirg Post, II la one that
Arlcr.cQn rold ers and citizens may
read wi,h pleasure and to advantage
for the American traits as seen by the
sharp eyes of school children.
Not to so into 1t in detail practical
~ every one OF the little essays. while
fun If loving kindness toward the
Americans nnd appreciative of their
fine character and gentIeness and gen.
crosby. notes that Americans are al
ways eating something. Now we do
not notice that among ourselves being
All guilty alike but that is true OF
Americans, they arc always chewing
something-gum, candy, food or the
rag." Another trait noticed 10y the chill
drcn they term jealousy" The Amer
leans, they say, are jealous of each
other.
The French children probably mis-
took for jealousy the distate one Amer
lean has of seeing another American
or anyone else for that matter of that
get ahead" Of him. For the American
is not jealous but Jealous compel
itor. Had Americans failed as did
Hawker and had the British succeeded
in crossing the American would have
shut his lips tight and praised the per-
Torrance of the winner without at
tempt to detract from it's magnitude.
Fair play in sport or war is an Amer
loan trait. The American is good
sport but he doesn't quit trying and
he is n born competitor with his own
and others.
But the children are right about the
American forever eating. Overeating
is an American trait. Perhaps it is be-
cause most Americans have more than
they can and ought to cat. That is not
the rule abroad.
But the kindness of the American to
women and children were q revelation
to the French children. their gener-
osity which shared everything With
others. their holiness and above all
their supreme confidence in their own
ability and their ingenuity in making
machinery do the hard work was les
son to the French.
Perhaps. as the writer's from Paris
say, we are losing friendship OF peoples
thru the craftsmanship displayed at
the peace conference; that is that our
statesmen are gaining the Ill will OF
other statesmen from other nations but
wherever he went by children and
women and respected by men. States
men may quarrel but the soldiers in
France and in Germany as well viii
be remembered with loving kindness
for their manliness and high character
and with that foundation for the future
the ephemeral heat of delegates and
statesmen can not melt the bonds Of
coming relationships between this
country and others where the true
American character is known thru con-
tact with real Americans and common
every day Americanism.
But the kids were right. Amer
leans are forever eating something.

HARVARD TO SHOW
OLD FLYING WEDGE

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. IA
Princeton visitor came to Cambridge
the other day but hiked home long
before the open practice started. This
was Donald Grant Herring, the great
"heff," who came over to ask Fred
Moore to send some Harvard football
players down to Nassau on November
IS for the Tigers football carnival.
That day, when Princeton and Rut-
gers will get together for old times
sake-they first played football to-
gether back in 1859, Just fifty years
ago-there will be a general exposi-
ton Of old football methods and the
cries.
The part suggested for Harvard is
that OF showing how the old flying
wedges" used to work. The late Lorin
F. Delsnd devised this opening play
for football games long before the
time Of kick-of1s, and Harvard in it's
1892 game at Hampden Park. Spring
field, against Yale showed this frill
for the first time.
Mr.. Moore is taking the matter I'M
der consideration. He was football
manager himself about that time and
naturally will be interested to see the
old stun revived IT, only for day.

H|L[TOPPERS ARE
PLAYING DELAWARE

Georgetown and Delaware hook up
at 3 o'clock today on Georgetown
Field. Though the Blue and Gray
expects an easy win. many believe
Exendine's lads may be surprised by
the strength of the opposition. Della
ware is coached by Burton Shipley,
former crack quarterback at Mary
land State, and he has been pointing
his eleven for today's contest. He will
be satisfied IL the Hilltoppers are held
TO low score. but some of his play
ers insist that they will score at least
one touchdown.
The Blue and Gray lineup is likely
to be changed from that which start
ed the Detroit clash a week ago. Just
what it will be is not known for q
certainty. Hints are heard that Meth
er Dan Ahearn nor Metz Smeach will
begin at tackle, if they play there at
all Smcach may be tried at right
end during the game.
Jack Flavin, kept out of the game
by injuries for almost a month. Is
back in uniform and may start at
quarterback today. However, Jackie
Maloney and Jimmy Sullivan. the two
veterans, will also get trials.
If Delaware fails to hold the Hill
toppers, many substitutes will get
into the home teams lineup as prac-
tice for next weeks bitter battle at
Annapolis against the Naval Academy.
Gallaudet and Catholic University
re all set for their clash at Brook
and today. Betting is even on the
utcome of the engagement so well
matched do the teams appear to be.
On account of greater experience
Gallaudet is given the edge if there
is one.
Catholic University will present a
fighting array. Beaten three times
'unning by small scores the Brook
landers are prepared to make their
followers sit up and take notice in
his the first home game with a coll
eye eleven this season.
Killian Field will hold the entire
tudent BODY of Catholic University
which will be out in force. On Ac-
cunt of the fact that Fred Young
former Tech High lineman; Sam
Kaplan. one time Central High end
nd Donald Pepper, last years West
ern High star, may get into the game
added interest will be taken in the
contest.
Both teams have put in a sternous
week in preparation for the battle
which is scheduled to start at !
o'clock. Metzler, Battersby and
Ougan will probably be the officials

ST. JOHNS PLAYS
BIG RIVAL TODAY

ANNAPOLIS. Nov. 1.-St. Johns,
the Annapolis college, will be in ac-
ton today against Western Maryland
and victory, which appears likely,
would hearten the team immensely
and strengthen its determination to
slip something over State when the
teams meet at Maryland's capital next
Saturday. Incidentally. it will be
Washington Day" there, with State
and ST. Johns in the morning and
Georgetown and the Naval Academy
in the afternoon.
st. Johns has beaten Washington
and Mount st. Marys by big scores,
and is undoubtedly better for many
years, while the impression prevails
here that State Is not quite up to the
standard of previous seasons. Though
recognizing that State has passed
beyond the plane where il was the
natural antagonist of st. Johns, the
local collegians and their friends be-
lieve that victory is possible this
year.

''Blondy" Peterson, Business High

of all Business football followers.
The luck of the breaks went all

Stenographers out of the road for
touchdown after touchdown
Toward the last of the frst hall
Peterson unconsciously received a
tumble from Dick Newly. and before
he knew it was in full flight for the
Central goal line.
Peterson got of almost before any
enc knew 1t. Eluding three Contra,
linemen, the Business Swede bumped
himself over fifteen chalk lines like
the well-known frightened deer and
counted touchdown for Business
"Blondy" followed this UP with q goal
and Business Melted seven points.
For Central Peterson marred an
otherwise perfect day.
Central got nfty-one points before
the Afternoon was done. Strohecker

to seventy yards for eight touch

The Central machine got to work
early and staid with the going in the
effort to pile up a large score. Las,
to start in the series. the Central lads
wanted to show their followers they
could duplicate the big counts OF
Western and Tech, and they cam.
through in impressive style.
1t was Peterson. however, who
threw a handful of sand in the Cen.

may not know 1t, but he made hietor,
yesterday. Since Central has Rainee
