Marshal Foch Sees American Football
 at New Hauen
By Associated Press

New Haven, Conn.,, November 12.-The name of Ferdinand Foch, marshal of France, was tr- scribed today with the Sons of Yale upon the roll which bears those of George Washington, father of our cOuntryt Gen ern1 Lafayette, soldier and states man, and General De ROcham- beau, who was also . marshaI of France.
 Marshal Foch received the hon. ornry degree of Doctor of Laws at n special convocation of the Fellows of Yale University md later ns the aIl-day guest of the university, he saw other sons of the same alma mater battle to victory against Princeton. The stay of the marshal was n con tinual ovation. Thrice he was driven over pre-nrranGed routes with n cavalry escort and was ac- claimed by the tens of thousands who lined the streets, and tonight he stayed at the home of Col. Hiram Bingham.
 Those who were with Marshal Foch at the football game say that he watched the players in- tentIy, occasionally using his field glasses. After the game he was asked his impression of the sport. md he saidi
 Ut wns interesting and excit- ing, every moment of 1t. The formations of the teams ns they went through with their plays made n keen study. which re- quired much quick thinking. I have seen football In France. but never before such anS exciting contest as that witnessed today. It was brilliant brain work. Much of the wonderful morale seemed to he supplied by those suppOrt- ing their ideal teams. Football ls n great game for young men, for 1t requires quick thinking and physical strength. It was one of the most entertaining games that I have ever seen. My only regret Is that both teams could not win, so did they wSrk."
 On the Princeton side of the bowl Marshal Foch sat with President HiSben of Princeton and Mrs. Hfbben.

Prominent Women Tell What They'd Do # They
 Were Commissioners

daughters desire, a truly Magic City. of clean morals, clean streets, healthy children. and happy homes. Cod speed them on their way!
 Dy MRS. CHARLES J. SHARP
 '1f I were city commissioner" l would not forget that was the ser want of the people. It Is not unusua: for the servant, very soon after wards, to become the master. The peoples wish Is usually their need. l should listen very intently to meet conditions as they arise. A co-opera- tive city beautiful would be my slo- gan-expressed in paved boulevards, beautiful parks, smoke consumers, clean streets, alleys and public build ings splendid athletic fields and play grounds in each community Health and education would be pushed to the last dollar of my budget; for they are any eity's corner stones. My public safety department would be for the prevention of crime as much as for it's punishment.
 l would stand for law enforcement and be slow in remitting fines. l would build up a strong woman's department. While I might not have curfew, no young boy or girl could prowl the streets at night without a very satisfactory explanation Pros titution and bootlegging would be given the limit of the law. Vice may not be permanently exterminated but it can be checked. I'd be economical without cheapening my city with penuriousness. Graft, dead-wood or political debts would fill no positions Especially would I use women on the r1 .f afltt
 thropy. My poor should not beg on the streets but be offered protection in decent home--above all. 1t would be the spirit beautiful and cooper ative. would work to engender from the highest to the lowest indi- vidual and organization Not why can't we work together, but how splendidly We do work together. All that is in my city is of my city. Then surely the great clubs that add so much to the commercial, industrial. civic. artistic, educational and spirit ual upbuildlng would be my channels for this work
 q I'd let them feel my pride and ap- preciation in a material way. All the surplus funds of the city I would put in sinking fund to be used to help them when 1t was advisable. I'd let music be definite department. Con- munity music is now a necessity.
 would encourage the Drama league by offering a prize of $500 yearly for the best drama, pageaix. poem or story submitted I should have standing committee from the art league to help select all munich pal furnishings and decorations, also to act as Judges of flower contests. and advise with our architects in all city architecture. To do this we must have home or quarters in which to work so that efforts may not be duplicated, and that brings us to our needed auditorium and H. brary We must have a music hall. an art gallery. committee rooms, com munity club rooms and vast audi torium adequate to Birmingham's in- creased population for the next ten years, at least. There could be no great body of people that would not feel my interest and cooperation. in other words, I'd work to arouse the soul of Birmingham.

gratifying to me to know that we have succeeded in infusing enough spirit of good will into our morning service so that you felt it.
 With regard to your kind words about me, l am reminded of the story of the spinster of uncertain age whose love affairs were interesting to the entire community, largely because they were always progressing, but never consummated. One day the ru- nor had got about the town that she was engaged. A friend of hers meet ing her on the street warmly em- braced her and cried. I hear that you really are engagedv To which the spinster replied; No; there is not one word of truth in it, but thank God for the rumorv
 You will understand the applfca- ton of this story to your kind com ments of myself. 1 am sure that there is not one word of truth in it but l am profoundly thankful for the 'rumor,' which rates me so much more highly than I deserve.
 Please come back again and see us in New York and be sure that you will receive a most cordial welcome"

One of the most Remarkable under takings in the history of coal min ing was the sinking of shaft In the bed of the Firth of Forth, half mile from the shore, off the town os Borrowstounness (pronounced Bo- ness). The top of the shaft w5ts by quay, at which ves- sels could load coal. After being used for many years the shaft was engulfed by an unusually high tide and the miners were all drowned.

GAINED AND LOST FORTUNES
English Dandies Played for High Stakes in the Latter Part of
 Eighteenth Century.

Almaek's was one of the famous old gambling clubs of London. It was at its height in the latter part of the Eighteenth century, and the play there was enormous. It was not uncommon for the losses in a single night to amount to upwards of $100000.
 The young men, dandies all, who in- tended to play set about the matter with a great deal of ceremony They wore straw hats with wide britn5, flower and ribbon trimmed; the brims intended to keep the light from their eyes, and that the spectators might not see their emotions they often wore masks. They also often took off their ruffles and silk or satin coats and wore in their place a rough great-coat or else wound leather bands about their arms to protect the delicate lace and hues of their coats from the soil of the table.
 At each players side was a small table that held their tea, wine cakes and rolls of rouleaus or chips. Most of the players wore long curls, eye glasses mounted on long sticks were perfumed, powdered and painted like court ladies, and some of them even affected a mincing ladylike walk. But those who made the error of thinking them ladylike in their fighting ability made a mistake that often cost life, for the gay young sparks would draw swords at the drop of hat and meet death with laugh.

Prof Carpenter, of the Extension
Department of the Oregon Agricultural
College, here Monday to inspect Upper
Valley Early Rose potato tracts for
growers who were seeking seed certifi-
cation. declares that Oregon farmers
will have to take more care in their
selection of seed and in the preparation
of soil and the cultivation of the tracts
in order to gain the coveted goal of
seed certifcation.
Prof. Carpenter, who was accompan-
led on the Upper Valley tour by Cor.

But IA of these growers passed prelim

tied in the Upper Valley thatsno seed
certification was warranted.
An inspection of the Upper Valley
fields revealed the presence of leaf
mosaic, disease that dwarfs plants
and results in dimiuution of size and
WELD of the tuber crops. Some of the
plants were also found affected with

eating $24.85, on local merchants. Ed
wards was aboard a motor bus Just
getting under way for Portland when
officers halted the vehicle.
The checks were signed by fictitious
names. The alleged. .forger, who con-
fessed and offered to make good the
money, posed as c. II. McGill, endors-
ing with this name. In his pockets
were found freight bills issued to w.
r. Morey for goods shipped from

get back to his wife. He refused to re-
veal the residence of the latter. He
declared he came to Hood River, hav-
ing a ticket already bought for here,
hoping to get work.

ed the young man. well dressed and of
rather prepossessing appearance, he
produced additional bills and asked
that the money be used in making good
his spurious checks.

by City Marshal Hart, arrested the
man, who was arraigned yesterday be-
fore Judge Onthank.
