Tech athletic committee.
Dr. Wallace made public excerpts from
q letter from J. B. wood, alumni MAJ

fall we have been receiving regularly
letters, kilograms, marked copies Of pa
pers, covered with sneers, insults and
the like"
Mr. Wood added, according TO DR.. Wal
lace, that sin justice to Tech, 1 should
say they are most likely in no way re
sponsible," but that il was felt it would
be best IT defer game in Atlanta until
"this spirit among the followers and
pSathizers has undergone a change"
Or Wallace issued a statement, saying
no one connected with Georgia Tech and
no friend Of the school had anything to
do with sending such communications to
Centre College authorities.

CLEAN UP THE LOTS

Property owners in Elizabeth are being warn
ed by the city health department to remove the
rank growth Of weeds and shrubbery from va
cant lots and along the sidewalks. In several
instances property owners have been summoned
before the recorder to explain their neglect to
obey the ordinance governing this matter. We
do not know whether Perth Amboy has an Or
dinance covering this matter or not. II It mas,
it ought to be enforced; II there is no such or
dinance there ought to be one.
Rank Vegetation is blamed for much OF the
hay fever and sickness during the summer
months. There is no excuse for permitting this
annoyance in thickly populated communities.
The weeds that are now allowed to grow wild
will soon be going to seed and that means that
people who are spending considerable time and
money trying to make their property attractive
and an asset to the city will find the seed from
adjoining vacant lots blowing over into their
wards undoing much of their good work during
the summer. The city ought to encourage these
people by seeing to 1t that vacant lots in the
city are not allowed to become over-grown maxi
ing not only an eye-sore. but doing considerable
damage to adjoining property.
Persons who own property unimproved,
which is constantly increasing In value thereby
adding to their wealth without any effort on
their part. might at least see that the lots are
kept clean and free from an overgrowth OF
weeds. II they refuse to do this voluntarily
they ought to be compelled to do so by the city.
Elizabeth is setting a worthy example in this
regard.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
DECADE

"A OECADE
Ten years ago the world was
fat, and basking amply in it's grease;
we laughed until we sprained a Stat
when seers foretold the end of
peace. And Wilhelm changed his
uniforms, was photographed twelve
times a day, and courtiers in idle
swarms, admired the war lord on
his way. The weary poet scratched
his head to think up topics for his
rhymes, and then the foolish books
we read had faxed up wars in
Zenda chimes. The voters bought
their hand-me-downs, and knew h
dyes would never fade, and women
woer their ample kowns, and kept
their ankles in the shade. The rail-
wa barons walked in state, like
princes of the royal blood, and now
the row they raise Is great, and they
confess their name is Mudd. Ten
years e 1 hired Jim Jones, and
paid him thirty cents an hour, and
now each day he draws six bones,
such a stipend makes him sour.
And Russia's car. ten years ago.,
still wore his crown upon his brow;
somewhere beneath the southern
snow his battered bones are lying
now. The world Is not h same old
place its teeth are loose, it's lost its
it has been shaken to it's base,
and nothing's right side up with
care. And I bewail the dear dead
days, that shall return no more,
alas! when we all went our routine
ways, and cut the old accustomed
grass.

Now, It seems, they are right back in the
thickest of the population again. What is
more, the fight IS conducted, apparently, under
the very law passed for the purpose of making
such battles impossible. 1t is very evident that
there are serious loop-holes in the boxing law
as it now stands on the statute books Of New
Jersey. The purpose of this law. as we under
stand it, is to make the friendly boxing
bouts and sparring matches possible without
permitting prize fighting as that term is COM
monty known. Truly 1t ought to be possible
to draw a statute that could more clearly define
the difference between a boxing bout and a
prize fight than the present law If what took
place in Jersey City Saturday can, under the
law, be classed as either one. New Jersey has
not enhanced her reputation by this recent
affair.
