Twenty-four men and two coaches
composed the Wilmington football
squad which arrived in Richmond at
$50 o'clock Friday evening and was
quartered at one of the LEGAL hotels.
Although Earlham expected to win,
the Wilmington squad are not In the
least doubtful about the outcome but
expects to give the HOOsier Quakers
the same treatment that Wittenbnrg
handed Earlham two weeks ago. The
squad is a husky looking lot OF play
ers and will be on even terms with
Earlham in the matter Of weight.
Raiford will general the team In to-
DAYS game. This will be the frst
game of the season for the fast little
quarterback, as he was out Of the Wit
tenburg game with .dislocated shout

Cool. snappy football weather pre-
walls and the game was expected to
| be full OF sensational football. Play
was called at 2:3O o'clock.
Two years ago, Earlham on account
of the close game played with DePauw
only a week before the Wittenburg
game was scheduled, was heavily the
favorite at the start OF the Whining
ton game Wilmington won by 81
points. Wilmington has one OF the
best teams ever representing the Ohio
Quaker school, and although slow in
hitting, the stride on account or IN
experienced material, expects to re-

There is enchantment about the Essex
that intimacy does not dispel.
For instance many who ride in it only few
times afterwards describe it "a large, high

Of course this description is not true. Yet it
is made in good faith. That is the distinct i'm

Final efforts to round the team
into shape were made by Engle's SIS
Army Reserves, Saturday afternoon
at a practice held at the public play
grounds Enough men were out to
form two complete lineups and a long
gruelling scrimmage was held. The
playing strength was equally divided.
Beef will be the principal cog in all
Of the Reserves offensive plays. The
line will average around 200 pounds
and the backfield about $50
Although the line is unusually hea-
Wy, a dent was made in it at frequent
intervals of the scrimmage by the
hard hitting backfield men.
\ squad composed of IS men will
leave for Portland at 4:45 Sunday
morning. Owing to the early hour
of departure, only a few hardy rooters
will accompany the team. Several
automobiles loads will drive to Port,
land later in the day, however.
This will be the first game of the
season for the Reserves, but never
theless a good showing is expected
to be made against Portland. One
of the best independent football
elevens in the state will represent
the upstate city.

Labor Here and Abroad

There has never been a time
since the armistice was signed that
a long view of the future has not in
cluded, among the important prob
lens to be solved, that of labor. This
has been true not only as to the
United States, but also of the other
countries of the world, and those
other countries have been meeting
the problem acutely, while we have
been only contemplating It
France has met it, and apparently
has solved 1t. Twice she has been
threatened with q general strike,
and twice socialistic labor has been
beaten. Reliable authorities advise
us that this has settled the question:
for France. and for a year at least
she will be undisturbed by labor
troubles. The whole nation is at
work and carving out it's salvation.
England has passed through acute
throes, and while not yet out of the
woods, has progressed far toward
satisfactory settlement
Here, we are just beginning to feel
the acute phases, and the threaten
ed steel strike is the first important
development to be met and over
come. That this will be accomplish
ed there Is good reason to believe

Beauty and the Beast

To the Editor Of the Telegraph:
If we had female juries, there's
no doubt that many more women
criminals would get their just
deserts. A movie aptly hit the thing
off recently. Grace Darmond, the
very lovely actress, in What Every
Woman Wants." was shown in
courtroom, charged with the muir
der of her husband. A close up was
furnished of her ankles, then of her
trim waistline, with the sensual eyes
of a fat, greasy juryman gloating
over that perfect physique. He
whispered behind his hand to his
neighbor, She amt guilty"
There are too many danes now
adays who give Madam Justice the
go-by, because said crimesters are
blessed with bright eyes, and crook
eyes may look at one very straight,
very innocent, very babyish. Do you
recall in the New York blackmail
case this year that the Judge had n
spite fence built around the ankles
of the handsome defendant, lest her
dainty feet should make the cause
of justice to slip? Women right
ana lelI pepper Jnelr nQSDanQS with
buckshot, but dashed few ever go
anywhere for it, except to the stage
or the screen. Mrs. De Saules neatly
punctured her hubby with her auto
matte, then posed gracefully for the
paper artists and the jurymen, wept
and lied artistically and went scot
free. Ditto Madame Lebaudy.
Here's a recent case: A pretty
girl ran away from Steelton to
Chambersburg, because she said her
father beat her too severely, and
wanted her to marry a man she
didn't love. The girl was avery
attractive Syrian, with the volup-
tuous charm of the Orient. She fell
into good hands when she arrived at
Chambersburg, and went to live with
q respectable family, where the wife
was sick. The truth of her running
away was partly the thrashing, part
ly that she was enamored of a GAL
liant youth who dwelt in Waynes-
boro. Absence doesn't always make
mans heart grow fonder, she rea-
soned, so she meant to try presence
on the tickle male. No, l didn't say

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

presents! The girl behaved herself
very we'll at Chambersburg.
Her father appealed to the Har-
risburS law. A detective came to
ChamUersburg in an auto with the
father. for which ride the dad, of
course, footed the bill. 1t cost poor
old pop" a right smart penny. The
daughter had meantime pawned her
rings and bracelets for twelve dol
lars. When she tried to redeem the
goods, week or so later, the broker
demanded twenty-seven iron men.
The jinx was working against the
poor pretty little Syrian. She hied
to the post office, trusting for a
Waynesboro dove message, and there
found q man with silver badge
waiting to collect her.
The detective, when he first landed
at Chambersburg, and hadn't seen
the luscious sweetness of the girl,
was high and mighty in his defense
of the parental rights, but just as
soon as the man of the law got his
orbs on her - and an onlooker told
me that the detectives eyes burned
with passion of the sex kind-the de-
tective turned on the old father
fiercely, handed him a verbal brick,
and later gathering the charming

the night. at the fathers expense,
leaving the aged man stupified on
the street, and the Chambersburg
chief of police gasping. All night
the girl and the detective motored to
Harrisburg, arriving there about
three in the morning. The jewelry
man was brutal. The law man was
worse.
Would our readers wish their
daughters to ride alone at midnight
with Il strange man, even though he
was a detective?, 1t isn't the first
time that detectives have pulled off
risque stunts. We've heard of the
play, Cheating Cheaters." Some
one ought to write a drama on
Detecting Detectives" This is only
another case of woman not getting
justice froS the law. The law man
was far crueler in his friendship
than IL he had stood by her father.
There was no reason why dad
couldn't have accompanied the pair
to the capital city. Wasn't the poet
right when he wrote about "the
fatal gift of beauty?''

WORK AND SAVE

/" HAT was the slogan during tn,
war and it was based upor
sound sense and the absolut,
necessity of the situation. We hav,
seen nothing better on this poin
than the following from the curren
"Bache Review:
After all, there is but one nat
. ural. powerful, and efficient way
to lower the cost of living That
is by increasing the production
of things needed to a point where
the supply of them is greater
than the demand. This can be
accomplished only by more work
and more efficient work. and by
economy of all the people in the
use of things.
In the meantime, wages should
be paid on scale fully adjusting
them to the level of increased
cost of living.
But the labor must be efficient
and should be rewarded in pro-
portion as ii is efficient-eXtra
reward based on extra efficiency.
High costs to-day, to a great
percentage of such costs, are due
to the fact that labor, while re-
ceiving large wages in many di-
rections, is much less efficient as
compared with what it accom-
pliShed before the war. In some
cases, where the output has been
checked up, it is shown that labor
is turning out only 60 per cent
of normal.
If we can ever got our labor up
to 100 per cent, we shall have
such an increased production of
needed things as will tip the scale
of prices steadily downward
such a production as the Nation
brought about when it sprang to
meet the needs of war and
which, when the armistice came
rather suddenly. showed that we
were overwhelming the world
with munitions, guns, gas, air
planes, trucks. and all other I'M
plements of destruction.
Unless. and until we. the Ameri
can people get off our high hors
and descend to the level of indus
try and economy demanded by pres
ent day conditions, we shall con
tinue to suffer for our blind foil,
and waste lot of time getting bacl
to solid ground.

More Babies

If it's true the present death rate
Is much greater than the-birth,
Will some scientist who knows state
When mankind will quit the
earth?
Will the race soon be no longer
Here upon the globe to tread,
VIII there be another stronger .
Human animal instead?
In the cultured homes of this land,
But few babies now are born;
France and Austria, and England,
Are subject to the same scorn.
Thus the laws of generation
Outraged are where e'er you go.
One can hardly name a nation
But the births are far below
The death toll: And what conclusion
Can be reached mid hope and
fear?
Nothing but the sad confusion,
Man will quite soon disappear.
Tell us please what compensation
For the loss to any race,
Tribe, or sect in any nation,
or the Angel Baby face?

Diamond Price Goes Up

tFrom the Des Moines Registerl
The high cost of getting engaged
to be married is going to be worse.
Everyone knows that every well
conducted engagement is sealed
with a solitaire diamond. A young
man in this day and age has TO
show his diamond as well as his de
votion to the lady of his hearts
desire. No diamond, no wedding.
And the cost of diamonds Is go
ing up this fall. jewelers. say there
will be an increase in their cost
Of at least twenty-five per cent.
It's all because the diamond cut
ters have asked for a twenty-five
per cent. increase in salary, and the
new salary goes into effect at once.

AndreLU G. Curtin'S PrOphecy

On March 2, 1882, while the dip
lomatic Appropriation bill was un-
der consideration, in Congress ex-
Governor Curtin spoke at length on
European policies, and in view of
the developments of recent years
his utterances now appear pro-
phetic. He said:
I'm the one hundred years of the
existence and example of this ma
ton, where free government has
been exercising its mighty power
over peoples who enjoy it's blessings,
and all the governments of the
world have felt its power in reliev-
ing oppressed humanity, silently but
constantly our example has been
contracting the power of the ruling
classes and remitting IL to the mass
es of the people, where it justly be-
longs. Our precepts and example,
our liberal political ideas have
broken down the barriers between
centralized power and the masses of
the people and everywhere conces-
sion made in Europe to the voice
and control of the people of their
governments and the rights of COM
mon humanity.
THE people have power in all
governments in Europe save one.
Kings and emperors are lessened in
their powers and prerogatives, and
in my judgment, believing as l do
in the future of this great country
and of our form of government, our
broad liberty and equality, the en-
peror and the king will soon remain
as the tinsel, nominal heads of the
government, if they are not entire
ly dispensed with as unnecessary in
governments which aim to secure
individual happiness and prosperity
and enjoy the blessings of liberty,
peace and concord; and there will
come a time when the rights of hu-
manity will stand UP and be as
serted and appear in the living
light in the presence of American
ideas of human rights and liber-
ties"

THE KIPONA SPECTACLE

A S THE TELEGRAPH family
"A will participate in the cele-
bration of Labor Day and the
Kipona carnival, there will be no
issue of this newspaper on Monday.
Mos; of Harrisburg will see the pa
Eade of the workers in the morning
and the rest of the day and evening
will be spent on the Front Steps,"
watching the wonderful events pro-
vided for those who always enjoy
the river spectacle.
1t is expected that the Kipona
celebration this year will furnish the
starting point for a larger and more
comprehensive annual carnival here
after. 1t is the ambitious dream of
those who have promoted from year
to year this river festival that the
Kipona shall outrival the Mardi
Gras of New Orleans, the Yelled
Prophets of st. Louis and other ia
nous spectacular events which at
tract thousands of people every year.
Harrisburg is admirably situated for

many islands and the unique treat
ment of the River Front, invites
those who appreciate acquatic sports
and the wonderful pictures which
are made possible by the blending
OF the river and the picturesque
landscape of this section.
Those Harrisburgers who are still
absent on their vacation will miss a
great show, but they can comfort
themselves with the thought that all
of Harrisburg will be expected to
participate in the carnival of 1920.
Suggestions for making the Kipona
q still more attractive spectacle will

committees which have undertaken

A Russian Amazon Who Cried
BRIGGS

Out of the choas there comes,
now and again, a human note to re-
mind us that elemental nature will
probably endure. On the Muir
mansk Railway front, Canadian
troops captured a party of Bolshe-
wiki In the Red Guard uniform.
among whom was a young woman
of %, Olga Semenova Petomtzev I,
fully armed and with a bandoleer of
cartridges across her breast. She
submitted mutely to being dis
armed, but when her captors took
little scrapbook of pictures she
broke down in tears. This myst!fied
the officer in charge, for the scrap
book contained only a number of
photographs of babies cut from
magazines.
Nine. Petomtzeva left Petrograd
on April 4 to join her husband, who
was in the Red Guard. In order to
remain with him she donned a uni
form and Joined the fighting. In
the action in which she was taken,
at UrosoZero, she was separated
from Petomtzeff, who ESCAPED.
Questioned as to her interest in the
photographs, she at last explained
that she had had a child, who died,
and of whom, owing to the disor-
der of the time, she could get no
photograph. So she was collecting
photographs of children of his age,
intending to keep the one that most
resembled him. When the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent cabled
these homely details, Nine. Petomt-
zeva was serving as cook for a
Canadian mess.
A great philosopher to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, clothes do
not make the man-nor yet the
woman. Even war may not wholly
urfmake them.
