was not large enough TO cope in attractfTeness
with fairs staged by neighboring counties
The spirit OF last nights meeting was such
as to give promise OF certain results. II was
shown that there approximately seventy
Thousand people in the three cities alone, and
that three such communities, working together.

taking to which they gave their united support
Rock Island county. with an organization
such as could be formed in the three cities
with the cooperation of residents of other
parts OF the county, could promote one of the
most successful fairs in the state. That the
fair is to be reality along the lines suggested
was assured by the pledges given at last
nights meeting. The country club is assured
also. All that remains is the working out OF
the details. country club would be open to
all residents of the county. There would be
golf course and other features and the mem
bership dues would be made as low as con-
sistent with proper maintenance in order that
the membership be large as possible.
Rock Island. Moline and East Moline long
have been standing in their own light allowing
little rivalries and jealousies 10 defeat joint
projects that could have been consummated to
their mutual advantage. The note that doIni-
mated last nights meeting was that the three
cities have everything to gain by cooperation
and everything to lose by standing apart from
each other. 1t should be realized that what
benefits one of the three cities helps all. and
in that spirit the men who met last night are
to work in future.
The county fair and country club move
ment should be the beginning Of joint work
ing arrangement between the three cities that
will have an important and beneficial bearing
on the future of the communities.

Dear Doctor: l am taking the
liberty of writing you in regard to
NV Young brothers using tobacco.
They are 10 and Is years old, re-
spectjyely. / Lave talked to them,
but that wont do. l wish you
would tell them the dangers OF to-
bacco. They will pay more atten-
ton to what you say, because they
often read your advice in the pa
per, and they think you are about
right in everything. The older
boy, particularly, is enthusiastic
about physical training and has
great ambition to be an athlete.
H l.. A.
When a boy, or even girl. first
uses tobacco. the reason is purely
and simply showing Off" II the
first performance seems, TO the
weak mind, to have created the de-
sired effect in the mind of be
holders, the showing of" is pretty
sure to become fixed. 1t will not
be long then. before the tobacco
habit has contfol of the degenerate
boy-or femaie-mcron.
What are you going to do with
such a degenerate? Appeal to the
moral sense? There is little moral
sense there to appeal to. Appeal
TO common sense? Same difficulty.
Appeal TO Intelligence and reason?
Why. il there were d glimmer OF
intelligence the child never would
have wished 10 show off" in the
first place. You'll have to appeal
TO something that is always there TO
appeal to, ana that is false pride.
The toba cco-using boy is intensely
proud OF himself and his individu-
ality-at least be likes to imagine
he has indiyidrS lily. And in my
opinion the best way to appeal to
that false self-esteem is by making
a public example of the boy-giv-
ing him a thorough whipping in the
presence or knowledge of the very
persons for whose sake he shows
off"
There is sporadic discussion OF
the demoralizing influence of NOV

young. I arr very certain that the

Virginia Scion Sees No Radical
Departure From 1920

DR.. Lambeth stated here today that
in all probability there would be an
ate .npt 10 further restrict the use or
the forward pass by permitting its
use only on the first down and by
not allowing any running with the
ball after a forward pass had been
completed. The abolition Of the kick
ing OF goal after touchdown would
probably come before the commIttCr.
he stated.
The Virginia sage ~ opposed 10 all
Of these changes, and does not believe
that TREY will meet with the approval
OF the rules committee
DR.. Lambeth will make another eff
fort at the meeting Of the rules COM
mittee in New York in February to
change the present rules in regard ~
safeties and touchbacks. IL is DR..
Lambeth's contention that the specta-
tors at a football game are never able
to tell which has been scored. H3
would make distinction by bring
ing the ball out TO the forty yard
line following the scoring OF safety.
DR.. Lambeth is serving has last
year on the National Rules Commit
tee. The reorganization OF that body

Lambeth drew one OF the one year
terms. During his long service Oh

sible for much of the constructive,
football legislation. He sponsored
among others the change in the rules
which abolished the punting out after
touchdown when not scored be
tween the uprights preparatory TO

In the South in the night for stricl
