IS ANCIENT GAME.
Footbai One of Oldest Sports
Known to Man.
As Played Today 1t is SAID to Be 4
Mid and Tame Exercise Com
pared With the Strenuous
Original Form.

Football is considered strenuous
game. but the style OF play in this
generation is a mild and tame exercise
rs compared TO the original forms of
the sport. according to bulletin from
the National Geographic society.
The history Of the autumn classic
is described by ]. r. Ilildebrand in
follows:
Running. throwing. hitting and
kicking are the fundamental muscu-
lar operations of Americas charac-
teristic sports baseball, football, ten
mis- and golf. The peoples of antiquity
manifested all those instincts in cruder
form.
''LuZon hillmen, the Polynesians
and the Eskimo and Sumatra islanders
HAD games played by kicking a ball.
Greeks played it, and the Roman
game, harpastGm, derived its name
from the Greek 4 seize which is evil
dence that carrying the bali was prae-
ticed by them. With shoes of hide. the
medieval Italians played a game which
seems the direct ancestor of the Anglo
Saxon college sport. Gaelic scholars
point to a football game in Ireland BE-
fore the time of Christ. and until COM
paratively recent times Shrove Tues
day was as distinctively an occasion
for football as is our Thanksgiving to-
day
''In old England football was even
roE CHER than most sports of those
har5iy times. James I thought it was
meeter for lameing than making able
theusers thereof" Henry VIII and
Elizabeth ruled against it. Edward
ii frowned upon it for its interfer-
ence with archery and also because
of the connection it caused. In
those times it was played in the city
streets. a writer of the sixteenth
century called it a 'devilish pastime'
and charged it with melting envy
and sometimes brawling. mu.ther and
homicide
Nevertheless, by the time Of
Charles IL football had become fairly
established at Cambridge. 1t was
ever held in high esteem in Ireland.
There, when all other sports were
prohibited for archery's sake, 'onely
the sfeat footballe' was exempt.
Women joined with the men in play
ing it on ShFove Tuesdays. So many
participated chat fey knew the
whereabouts of the bah. An expedi-
ent which not so long ago aroused
fnrme in the American sporting
world was adopted by a player who
shook out the shavings with which
the balls of those days were stuffed
and carried it under his shirt to the
goal
abandoned as general pastime
because of its roughness, it was re-
tanned in colleges until. within the
past half century. it sprang into re-
newed popularity in greatly modified
form
THE British carried football into
Jerusalem, when they recovered the
sacred city Missionaries have taught

and for the help the farmer needs both
in the the house and in the fields II
is the sort of n home that will keep
the boys and girls on the farm and will
enable the owner to retain the services
of his employees, which is an advan-
tage that should not be overlooked in
these days of scarcity of help on the
farm
A good home, one in which his family
can enjoy living. is the best investment
any man can make. whether he be
farmer, business man or an employee.
The money invested in home pays
dividends in comfort and happiness

Washington, June 30.-War Time
prohibition which goes into effect to-
night at midnight will be made et-
fective in so far as the machinery
can be made to function to that
end. 1t was said at the department
of Justice that open violations OF
the law which is threatened in New
York and other cities will be promp-
tIy dealt with.
Beer containing as much as 3-4
per cent of alcohol is regarded as
intoxicating and it's sale will be re-
garded as a violation of the law. In
the opinion of the Department OF
Justice and members of Congress
wartime prohibition will have no ef-
feet on the Reed Amendment which
prohibits the transportation of in
toxicants into territory where the
manufacture and sale is forbidden
by local laws.

THE BLOCKADE
AGAINST GERMANY
Will Be Raised AS Soon AS the
National Assembly Rati-
fies Treaty. Affects
COMMERCIAL PRIVILEGES
CBy the Associated Press.

Washington, june 29.--Ihe super
ior blockade council has been IN
structed to be prepered to noise the
economic blockad4 of Germany I'M
mediately upon ratification by the
German National Assembly of the
peace treaty.
This announcement was made to-
day in dispatch to the State de-
partment from Paris, reading as fol-
lows:
AT a meeting Thursday June 26,
the council of the principal allied
and associated powers adopted the
following resolutions in regard to the
raising of the blockade on Ger
many.
The superior blockade council
is instructed to base its arrange
ments for resembling restrictions
upon trade with Germany on the
assumption that the allied and as
sociated powers will not wait to raise
the blockade until the completion
of the ratification as provided for
at the end of the treaty of peace
with Germany but that it is to be
raised Immediately on the receipt of
information that the treaty of peace
has been ratified by Germany.
This action Of the council officials
here explained means that upon rati-
fication of the treaty by Germany
1 al tY-io
many may be removed Without
requiring individual ratification by
the allied and associated powers all
of the nations arrayed against
Germany in the war may have an
equal start in the race for German
rade.
Raising of the blockade without
awaiting individual ratification was
said by officials to mean more to
the United States than any other ma
| tion because final approval of the
inery probably will require longer
! in the United States than in the
other countries.
One result of the decision if car
ried out will be to give the Sen
ate unlimited time for consideration
of the treaty. In some quarters pro,
vision in the treaty that commercial
relations with Germany might be
resumed when three of the powers
| ratified the treaty was considered
as likely to force the Senate tc
| speedy ratification. The resolution
| recently introduced by Senator Fall
| Republican, of New Mexico, to de-
clare the war with Germany at ar
end was designed to enable the Unit
ed States to begin business relations
with Germany and to relieve the Sen
ate of any pressure that might be
brought to bear in business interests
Belief by some members of the
| foreign relations committee thar
| some action would be taken to OBJ
| viate any such pressure was con
s1dered as having a part in the de
| clsion of the committee last weel
to postpone temporarily action OF
the Fall resolution
