FORWARDPASS CAUSES WORRY
 GRID PLAYERS
CPacific Sports Service)


 there has been much speculation as to it's possibilities and the degree to which 1t is likely to be developed. There Is a general cOncensus of opin. ion that the forward pass, as it has been played up to date. is merely in it's infancy insofar as it's use is con cerned It Is expected, sooner or later, that some football genius or coach with imagination, suddenly will inject into the forward pass an idea not yet thought of that will revolutionize the game.
 this play since it first was used in the matter of extending it's possibili. ties in the offensive Already 1t is a play which is full of dyamite and culamitous possibilities for it is quite as likely to lose a game for the team using it as it is to win. The forward pass that got into the enemy hands instead of a friendly receiver. time after time, has turned the tables.
 It is this element of uncertainty. raised to the nth power that has had much to do with the popularity of the forward pass with the spectators. There is not a coach or a player who is not, more or less, shaking in his gh ti,,,n ht ,.ln f, ,,t i'm, operation. It may mean touchdown from midfield in one play for you-as well as for the other fellow if he in. tercepts it.
 There has been talk that the for ward pass as now played is bringing football into class with basketball and that something must be done to curb it's tendencies in this direction Possibly there may be something in this but. at the same time, there are some who believe that the proposi tion is suggested by some who are fearful of the consequences that have been mentioned as eventual possi blities, and that they would be willing to get back to safer plays which would eliminate some of the fearsomeness that the forward pass involves.
 It has been said that there never was an offensive play developed for which there was not defense even tually worked out This is q truism which is more or less reflected in the changing of the rules and the imple ments of play which to meet this con dition, for the combination of n new offense and the defense created to meet it often results in a departure from the spirit of a rule if it is not a direct technical violation.
 Of the teams on the Pacific coast. the University of California. undoubt- edly. brought the forward pass to it's best perfection and, toward the end of last season. they were making use of it in unerring and deadly fashion. | The Ohio State university team which was supposed to be a past master in the art simply was bewildered by what the Californians had to show when they met last New Years day at Pasadena.
 It will be interesting to note what the coming season will bring forth in the matter of additional possibilities for the forward pass. To the close student of the game. this particular angle presents the most interesting of possibilities. Running plays. aside from notifications in the way of shifts and formations must remain very much as they have already been developed, but the forward pass is something which opens many vistas

Washington State college this year will make a mighty effort to wipe off the stain of that 49 to o defeat which the University of California football team smeared on it's escutcheon Ac, cording to report. everything was not as harmonious as it might have been on the Washington last fall. Just why this condition of affairs was allowed to prevail at all is something of problem for it is hopeless to attain success under the circumstances.

Breaking the Jam.

OTTON may prove to be the key log whose
Il, movement will break the industrial JAM
Its increase in price in ten weeks has been
'sS5-a bale. This is estimated to be S7soooo,ooo to
the cotton growers for this crop and the large re-
ssye held by the growers associations. 1t may
rssnd out to an even SIyooo,oooooo or more. This
iS.money fairly evenly distributed throughout the
South.
1t is just that much added to the national pur-
chasing power be redistrbuted throughout the
country as a whole. 1t will pay debts and so
establish credits 1t will buy products OF all
other sections. 1t has already started up cotton
mills and cotton gins full time, employing idle
labor. which in turn becomes a'purchasing element.
1t will add transportation and help materially
relieve the railroad situation.
But this is only the start OF the jam. The
Herald believes that all agriculture which was first
to feel depression and where prices made perpen-
dicular plunge, will be the first to recover.
This country is the worlds greatest food reservoir
Short yields were general throughout Europe. Rus
Sia, instead OF providing great part of the food
surplus as before the war. must be fed. Whatever
the agency, American foods must be the prime de
pendence to save famire-stricken Russia.
Other countries must increase their food sup
ply from here. In some way this will have to be
financed The emergency tariff on agricultural
products becomes almost bit OF rather grim hu-
and other tariffs halt that other people may be
able to buy here and live. The War Finance Cor
Poration will probably prove indispensable in pro-
viding direct foreign markets for food commodities
and raw cotton. But the agricultural outlook is
most encouraging.
There is much Congress do to help assure
that this recovery will be general OF all that it
can do, nothing is Immediately important than
settlement with the railroads. They should be en-
abled to hquidate their debts and unlock large
volume OF credits to be made available elsewhere.
They should be enabled to become buyers to en-
ploy labor, and TO add labor directly their pay
rolls. Congress also should put through program
OF public Improvements wherever these are OF a
nature that will add to the productive wealth Of
the country or reduce production costs.
Cotton is doing its part We believe agricu-
ture in general will promptly follow with its boost,
and Congress should join to give wise direction to
the recovering flow OF industry that the relief may
be permanent and not merely preliminary to an
. other jam.

Why Ford is Singular.

II S Henry Ford e63 times a millionaire as ind-
: Gated by his tangible, taxable assets or $50
shines millionaire as bankers estimate? Mr. Ford
says he does not know which it is and does not
scare. Why should he2 He has enough with which
.to do whatever he finds to do next to keep away
iron the wolves ard the wolves away from him,
: and to take occasional vacation when he can
renew his boyhood and go barefoot if he wants TO-
. mir. Ford occupies peculiar position among,
esTery rich men of the United States He is the
only one OF them and his is the only organization
: whose popularity has not decreased in inverse
ratio to the increase OF his wealth. There is rea-
son for this; maybe a good one but it is suffi-
cicnt as guide to public opinion.
He has not made his wealth from natural re-
sources. He has not gotten it from natures
bounty which, there is ineradicabe feeling, right
ly belongs to all. He has not gotten it from the
so-cslled "uneafned increments," the product of
the united labor Of many, but the possession of
only one. He has not been child Of fortune He
did not inherit in money much as the price OF
a pair OF trousers. He IS not the product of anv
angel who underworld his future for him.
80 He has been the arbiter OF his own fortune
He made his wealth in industry His products
have been for those OF small means He has pro-
duccd nothing that is luxury Of riches nor added
TO its already too much But he has brought A
luxury Of riches down to the plane OF comparat;ve
poverty and has combined usefulness with this

doing >.---
He has made his wealth in combination with
labor, not by cutting coupons collecting interest
All his investments of his surplus have been to em
ploy labor and bring within the reach Of
nillions what was beyond their financial. ability
He has shown how labor could be paid high wages
at an increase of profit to the employer, and
this largely because those who work for him feel
that this added profit will go back to some form of
labor employment to public benefit.
His singularity in being a very, very rich man
whose popularity grows with his wealth. is but
his singularity in the way he has made and uses
his money. So it is that he does not care and
hobody else cares whether he is s26soooooo, or
a s75oooo'ooo millionaire. Which ever it is. he is
and will remain Henry Ford.

not be economy. II Is as apt TO be waste. Under
present economic conditions, the chances are IL IS
waste. The unfailins opportunity for economy is
getting the fullest possible value for expenditures
1t is reported that Gen, Dawes. as Director Of
the Budget win bite S,.oooeoo cut Of the estimates
OF the District Commissioners for the coming year.
II is indicated that he will do this by looping off
certain things which, IN his judgment. the District
can do without principally items in the building
program. With all due concessions TO the acknowi-
edged sincerity. the courage and public spirit of the
general, he will use very falble rule, II he un-
dertakes to save by rejecting what be done
without That is usually merely postponing inn
sproyements.
just to postpone is to deny employment
and wait for higher wage scales, The one imPera-
tive need for this coming year is employment the
opportunity for men to and be self-supportng.
Cities never owed greater obligation their peo-
pie and taxable property never under greater
obligation to those who its security. than
right now. Both fulfil this obligation only by
reducing the ranks OF the idle to nil They can do
this by taxation for public improvements.
The thing which should not be cut out Of
any citys budget is expenditure which will provide
employment for labor. 1t is much cheaper, much
more economical to increase the tax rate, than to
have idle men unable to earn their and fam
iys support eating up savings and without pur-
chasing power Economy this year should not be
evidenced in reduced appropriations to employ la
Dor, but only in expenditures. AS fact practically
all waste of public funds comes in expenditures not
in appropriations Conservation of public funds
consists rather in value received than in reduced
tax rate.

Love for Work.

IT, tie Editor. The Washington Herald:
Permit me again to take issue
with you on your editorial The
Love for Work" After showing us
how William Fox, poor East
slider and cloth-sponger of New
York City became a millionaire by
working hard into the wee. small
hours of the mornin', you sum up
most mastery by remarking:
There you have II. The man in
love with his job
Surely. you're not trying to tell
some 100000 miners to apply them
selves to their work as diligently
as a William Fox or a Mr.. Edison.
and that some day they'll be
crowned with success. maybe all as
mine owners: Can il be that you're
trying to tell some 100000 impc-
cunious railroad clerks to work
like the dickens" just like Fox
and Edison did. and then some day
as reward for this thrift and
Love for Work" they may all be
railroad presidents or some other
kind of millionaires?
IF you keep on preaching that
way who knows but that an army
of reaches that usually infest our
modern sanitary tenements, might
learn to rise on their kind legs and
in unison laugh at you.

Tips, Tipsters and Tipees.

THE HERALD open Court" has debated the
soul" around tho circle with an instructive
display of intelligence and study. 1t has started
the devil" When he has been chased around
the stump, maybe will ask: What of
tips" and so start third of the insolubes. The
league of nations has not vet been asked to decide
as to the other two but tips" has become issue,
being brought before the commission on labor by
Swiss walters.
They have a program proposing that fixed
percentage be added to each bill in lieu of tips, this
extra charge to go to the walters. This would in
troduce an element Of business precision, now un-
known. 1t would put the profigate and the tight
wad" on the Same plane. 1t sounds almost sane and
yet it would settle nothing except how far employ
ers would make this extra take the place OF all
wages, while the accommodating, courteous waiter
would lose his incentive for poiteness and atten-
tiveness.
As the Duluth Herald says also people looking
for special favors would begin tipping directly on
top of the systcmatizcd tip and those who didn't
follow suit would be neglected until they did follow
suit And then we'd, all be back where we started.
"Tis truc tits pity; pity it's It's true" Mans in
sensbility to sense makes countless thousands fool

But why worry: We imagine what is bother
ing the Swiss walters may be that their returns
from tips vanishing. Travellers are economic

recognized good form to double the bill as tip
Throwing away money has gone out OF vogue with
the dress suit Excessive tips are regarded with
the disfavor of surtaxes and walters arc not as
numerously becoming landlords.
Moreover, cafeterias have disposed in large
measure of both walters and tips. Their increasing
popularity is largely due to this elimination, as,
far the bulk of MONDAY lunchers con-
cerned one cares much what the league does
with this tip issue, and this great bulk of the folks
are almost indifferent as to what tips do to the
after-theater parties. to those who still try to
afford the hight priced restaurant hallmark 5

Tells How to End Wars.
To tn. Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Undoubtedly some delicate prob
lens of worldwide Importance will
confront the coming conference for
discussion, and il is TO be hoped for
solution. such as the Eastern ques-
tion.' and the control of the Pa
cffic." But the one of prime i'm
portance and for which the confer
ence is called, is disarmament, and
agreeing to such measures as will
OF future wars.
The only way to prevent war. il
seems to me. is not to be prepared
for war. To be more explicit. Sup
pose all nations would agree to de-
stroy or dismantle all war vessels
except four or five nations. each to
he allowed to retain one fast cruiser
or other war vessel to keep down
piracy on the seas: and all arms Of
every description destroyed. except
what would be necessary TO arm a
sufficient force. to be agreed upon,
to keep peace and order in each
country.
All questions that might arise be
tween nations would be settled by
arbitration. or final settlement by
an international court. and under
stand one has already been organ
lied for that purpose.
Should any nation refuse to abide
by such decision as the court might
award. the penalty for such refusal
should be boycott by all the other
nations. No country could long af-
ford to be thus ostracized. England
would require a larger army than
any other country as she controls
about one-fourth OF, the earth. This
country would probably not rec.:re
more than 10000. or. at most. 10000
men.
Any other solution looking to the
prevention of future wars as out
lined in this article, in my opinion
will not serve the purpose for which
II is called.

Irish Unity.

IN last reply to Lloyd George, in connection
with recent happenings, makes it appear that Sim
Fen has now turned its batteries Ulster, rather
than Great Britain. 1t is Irish unity, rather than
dominion rule which becomes the kernel OF dispute.
The indications seem to point to acceptance of the
dominion Offer If Ulster will also accept
The methods used to this end do not seem tact
full. They aggressive rather than placatng.
The unfortunate threat to use lead" if argument
fails promptly denied by De Valera, had an ncy-
tably bad effect The campaign to dslodgc from
Ulster counties with strong Sim Fein minority if
not actual majority, has been of doubtful wisdom
just at this time.
Probably Great Britain would be glad to have
the Ulster leaven in the Irish loaf and so would
welcome Irish unity. But she cannot compel
Ulster. cannot reject its loyalty force divorce
from her government while Sim Fen is not max
ing inducement any the easier At this distance it
would that the South could well afford to wait
and to win by Irish fascination in courtship rather
than by Irish facility with the shillelah
However, The Herald is as confident as ever
that the truce will not be broken. Neither side
will take that responsibility. Each is playing to
force the others hand, while Sim Fen is trying to
compel the British to round up Ulster into its cor
raj. But back of the is Arthur Griffith and
his distinctive following OF modcratcs and even
Mickey" Collins who, like all actual commanders in
the field of warring body, is less bcigcrcnt than
those who support back OF the line. No ono can
