As To Modern Youth.

Sage guiders of youth will spare
no pains to drive home the truth that
this Is peculiarly time to make ready
for life by real efficiency. Fit bodies,
fit minds. fit spirits are as much a
duty as they were for recruits in the
army. All young people need craven
on their hearts the motto of the Boy
Scouts, BE Prepared" No boy or girl
is educated today who is not proficient
in a knowledge of present world con-
ditions, and IN some trade or art or
calling that will provide self-support
and human service in whatever
changed conditions may arise.
Let US develop a measure OF pride
in ability to do things and of con-
tempt for the mere idler the Lounge
lizard" and vampire type of youth.
A girl should be preuder of her knowl-
edge of need1ework than of her ia
miliarity with screen characters; of
her ability to buy and cook and serve
a good meal than of her skill at dane
ing. The boy who never dug a gar
den or mended the plumbing or cared
for fires economically should be more
ashamed of himself than the boy who
never owned a tuxedo coat or dined
in city hotel or touched his "old
man for money to spend on cigarets
and sundaes-
Ready for the Great Hour.
To be ready for life is also to be
ready for death. Preparedness in
small things is the sure way to pre-
paredneSS for the large. Great hours

VETERAN WANTS TO CURB
LONG RUNS IN BILLIARDS
John Doyle Suggests Dividing
Championship Tables Into
Four Squares.

Saik!!nc billiards, although "a COM
plicatcd game for the average PLAYER,
has become so simple for stars like
Jake Schaefcc, Jr.. Willie Hoppe.
Wclkcr Cochran and other shining
lights that many have come forward
with suggestions for rule changes.
ono OF the contentious has been that
the winner OF the toss has such Il big
advantage that his opponent occa-
sionaiiy has 10 chance To get start
ed.
one Of the most prominent men to
suggest variation of the ancient Eng
iish sport is none other than Junn
Doyic, the veteran, who suggests that
the basic conditions of the game
shouid be altered TO make shots more
difficult.
DesIrcs Closer Connection,
There's not enough keen compc-
tition,' says Doyle, in the present
game when Hoppe and Sciiaefcr. for
instance, don't think IT, is anything

luck IN many tournaments. The mo-
hotonous clicking OF points malcg

"itions should be changed ana made
more difficult.
My idet rs this: DO away with en-
iStihS baik lines. In their place di-
VIDE the championship table by two
