the interference to make long
gains around the ends. They
made several frst downs on the
Rikemen but did not carry the
fight extensively into Baylor

Following his custom OF sprng-

Saturday, Rike sent Hood,

the game at half late in the game

impressive runs, one netting
nearly 40 yards. Bush ran the

The Ancient Writers.

The eXcellencp>,pf the ancient writ CTS does not consist in trick that can be learned, but in perfect adap- tatlon of means to ends. The secret of the style of the great Greek and Roman authors is that 1t Is the per. lection of good sense. In the first place. they never use a word without a meaning, or q word which adds nothing to the meaning; they knew what they wanted to say, and their whole purpose was to say it with the highest degree of exactness and con- pcteneSS, and bring 1t home to the mind with the greatest possible clear ness and vividness .. The ancients were concise because of the extreme pains they took with their epithets: almost all mOderns are prolix because they do not. The great ancients could express n thought so perfectly in a few words or sentences, that they did not need to add any more.-John Stuart Mill.

benefit of the Panama valley aud ha3 nothing to do win other sections of Alaska. As a report of agriculture in- dustry in the Panama it is an excel lent work; as q document destined to serve the remainder of Alaska il might be termed useless.
 After devoting the major portion of ninety pages of descriptions and illustrations of the farming region near Fairbanks he allots a brief sketch 10 Matanuska experimental station. sans illustrations sans any thing save that there is an cxperi- mental station at that point. He did not tell the prospective settler that Matanuska farmers were supplying Anchorage with fresh pork. chick ems and eggs: that there was grow ing up around the experimental farm prosperous and productive farms on one of which. at least, some $6OOO worth of power machinery was op- erating. His illustrations were con- fined to tractors at work in the Tan ana. but did not avail himself of the many fine illustrations showing bin- ders. seeders and ether machinery at work al Matanuska. These illus trations might have been obtained from the Alaska Engineering Com mission for the asking.
 It would appear that Dr. George son has some special reason for re- fusing to give Matauuska its share in his annual reports because he slfghted it last year. He certainly cannot plead lack of material, for it is there in abundance. Only recent Iy Colonel Frederick Mears showed motion picture reels of agriculture activities in this district, yet Mir. Georgeson seems to have been una ware of the fact.
 As book of information on all, Alaska the report falls far short of what one might expect and mat ters of a partisan piece of press agent work.-Auchorage Times.

Evil In Deception.

Lying, a term in which We include deception of every kind, is the root Of more evil in the world than the love of money ever was, though the latter is responsible for enough, in all conscience, and the two evils work handily together. If frank honesty were the rule of the world, boys, grown into men, would sin occasion ally. but not frequently or contlnu- ously, as many of us do now. Decep- tlon is the great protector of crime, the great shield of vice. Eliminate 1t absolutely and you sever the tap roots of prof;ecr!ng, defrauding of the en- ployer. impurity, hypocrisy In the church. political corruption and wars of aggresSion.-EXchange.

Some would be for putting her to perpetual slavery. but wisdom die ta,es such course to he suicide.

Thermometer Scales.

There are several different systems of dividing the thermometer scale. The
 one in common use in all English speaking countries is the Fahrenheit. In this the boiling point Is PIP de- grees, and the freezing point 32 de grees above zero. In the Centigrade thermometer, the freezing point Is talk en as the zero, and the boiling point is recIoucd at 100 degrees. It will thus be seen that the 100 degrees on the Centigrude scale and the 1S0 de- grees (2l2 minus 32) on the Fahren- lciy scale rlreSent the same differ erce. in temperature namely that be tween boiling point and freezing point

hEliYVer" Alrplanes.

From time to time q photograph ap- pears, depicting new airplane of con- pact dimensions and equipped with a low-power engine. Such airplanes are generally hailed as "everybody's" air plaue and the coming "hivvers" of the air. Yet an examination of these ma chimes soon disCloses the fact that they are of little practical value. They are too small to be steady in flight, 100 low-powered to fly under moder- ately adverse conditions, too tiimsy to last long and, taking It all in all, ab- solutely worthless for serious work of any kind. They should generally be treated as novelties, except in rare lnstances.-Scientifi American.

British Warship Badges.

The British admiralty has decided to provide every British warship in future with Its own distinctive badge. These are being designed by Maj. Charles FOulEes, heraIdic adviser to the admiralty, who has already in vented 15O badges. Considerable in- gcnuity has been exercised, as the following examples will show: Ven turuuS, TWO dice; SpOrtive, a putting goat; Tucliciun. q chess knight; h. constant, butterfly; Sesame, a key; Sterling, { Watchful, an eye; Viva vious, head of MT. Lloyd George; Ter magant, a fury; Nile, head of Nelson; Truculrut, Britisher smashing a Hun. Each badge will be carved in wood and then cast in brass, colored, and fitted on the quarterback, as well as on either bow of the boat. Two plaques are lo be used, the smaller one for the boats being about eight inches square. and the one for the .Quurtprdcck about IS inches square, Each badge is designed in some way to represent the name of the boat pic toriany. or when that is impossible, rmhodying some device connected with its history. The designs will be used also on note paper, and probably on the brass muzzle-caps of guns, which are privately bought by officers of battleshipS.

Flat Feet Treatment Successful

Flat Feet Treatment SuccessIul.
 War experiences have changed our views about flat feet. It was at one time assumed that individuals so af- dicted were destined to lead sedentary lives, and that they were disqualified from partaking In vacations requiring the constant use of the feet, such as military service. This erroneous idea is still universal in Europe and to a large extent in America. It is in weak feet that the bones of the arch drop to the ground, the muscles and fragments being so weak and tlabby that they cannot hold up the arch bones. After a series of treatments in the most chronic cases, the pro- lupsed bones will gradually rise until they reach their normal height.
