ClemSOn-LrSKine
Game Tomorrow

Clemson College, Nov. 15.-The
contest next Friday between Clemson
and Erskine is causing widespread
interest among fans throughout South
Carolina, even though it will have no
hearing on the state championship
race.
Dode Philips, Erskine's wonder
man, and believed by many to be the
best individual player in the state,
has crossed the goal line of his op-
ponents in every game this season.
Even the Furman Purple Hurricane,
which held Carolina and Clemson
scoreiess, was unable to prevent Phil
ips from planting the Erskine colors
on their goal post.
Will the Tigers be able to break
Philips record? This is the question
that fans throughout the state are
asking: Carolina. Furman, Wofford,
p. c., Citadel and NewEerry have fail
dents Of Due West affectionately call
Philips. Will Doc Stewards young
Tigers be able to do better? .
Coach Stewart is now relying large
ly on the youngsters to carry the bur-
den of both defensive and offensive
Injuries have played havoc with the
standbys of the Tiger eleven and with
desire to give the new material a
chance, Coach Stewart has been using
many of the younger men. Many of
these had never seen a football game
until they reached the Clemson cam
pus. However, the development of
some of these youngsters has been
near miraculous, Coach Stewart feels,
and in addition to giving assurance
for good eleven next year, are sure
to make it difficult for their opponents
in the remaining games of the 1921
schedule.
While the state championship race
may be settled, interest in pigskin
contests has not died out and fans in
all corners of the Palmetto State will
watch with interest next Saturday the
clash between Dode Philips, bent on
maintaining his record, an dthe young
Tigers, anxious to win their spurs on

Relieves in Religious
Teaching of Children

Detrait, Nov. 17.-President War

the Iusts Of the future and l believe
in religious instruction for American
children. Tue future of the nation
cannot be trusted to the children un-
less their education includes their

Downey, book editor of the Methodist
Episcopal church today addressed The
National Conference of the church
here with this opening quotation.
"Of course everything, depends upon
what we mean by education" Dr.,
Downey continued III the term Is
conceived to include merely the train
ing of the body and mind then religion
cannot be taught, because religion is
not merely a matter of the body or
mind. but primarily Of the heart. Seri-
Gus thinkers in every age, however,
have repudiated this conception OF ed
ucation They have insisted, and in
these later days are very strenuously
emphasizing the fact that the heart
can be trained; that indeed, for the
safety of the republic and civilization
at large, it must be trained.
This is certainly what the wise man
had in mind when he said, "Ahove ali
culturing culture thy heart, for out
of it are the issues of life Many
seem to. think that religious education
proposes a mere process of technical
training, that it leaves out the dis

ethical system. Nothing could be

CHINA OFFERS
BILL OF RIGHTS"

Washington, Nov. 16.-The Wash
ington conference today turned to con-
Sidcration of Far Eastern questions
with almost the same momentum with
which 1t tackled the question of naval
ornaments.
1t was the Chinese delegates who
led the way this time. In the COM
mittee Of nine, at which all nations
participating were represented, they
produced basis for discussion which
represents their views.
The open sympathy of the United
States with their position was at once
many respects. The positions of the
others were not SO clearly defined, al
though members of the Japanese dele
cations have given expression of ap-
proval, in part at least, of China's
bill of rights
In brief, China wants guarantees
for territorial integrity and political
and administrative independence. She
proposes the open door for all in all
parts of the country; she wants all
spheres of influence relinquished; she
wants no treaties made affecting her
without being consulted about them.
The full extent of Chinas position
is much broader than this, but these
stlC Sllt cSStLllSilS. lie ldSI lcdluTc
may lie construed as affecting the An
go-!apancsc alliance, although the
British take an opposite view.
Today's session of the big nine
was occupied entirely with the pre-
;cntation Of China'S views. Immedi-
stcly aftcrwdrd it became known that
hey commanded the moral support of
he United States. The British view
points were made known a little later.
Ihe Japanese did not state their re-
.ction but previous pronouncements
" some of their representatives have
pat item in line with some parts of
ohina'S proposals.
The discussion of Far Eastern af-
,airs will be continued at another
meeting tomorrow. Meanwhile the

STOCKHOLDERS
SUE WATTS Mill

Greenwood, Nov. 16.-A suilt
against Watts mill in Laurens county,
brought by holders of preferred stock
issued in 1909, amounting to approxi-
mately $450,000, has been fled with
the clerk of court of Laurens county
by Tillman, Mays e. Featherstone of
Greenwood, attorneys for the plain
tiffs, it was learned today from one
of the stockholders. The suit was on
the roster for trial at the court of
common pleas, sitting in Iaurers this
week, but has been continued and will
probably be heard at a special term
of the court of common pleas in. De-
cember, attorneys state. Watts mill
is capitalized at $1,250,000. The de-
fendant corporation is represented by
Haynesworth & Haynesworth and w.
G.. Shrine of Greenville.
The plaintiffs allege that, preferred
stock in Watts mill, held by them,
amunting to 100000 at the time of
issue on April 7,,.I909, to be retired
with accrued interest and dividends
on April 21, 1921, has not been re-
deemed. The Original, stock plus in
terest and accrued dividend now
amounts to about $450,00O. Tha
vlaintiffs allege that provisions of the
stockt certificate to redeem the stock
at par, plus interest and unpaid diyi-
dends on April Fl, 1921, have not been
carried out and they are suing for
judgment against the mill for total
of approximately $460,000.

FREIGHT RATES
ARE REDUCED

New York, Nov. 16.-The Associa-
tlon of Railway Executives, repre-
scnting. 201 railroads today decided to
put int, effect 10 per cent freight
rate reduction on all farm products,
"as soon as possible" The reduction.
it was announced, would not apply to
intrastate rates in New England, but
would affect freight entering and
leaving those states.
Announcing the decision, Thomas
Dewitt Cuyler, president of the asso-
cation, stated that any reduction in
such rates made since September L,
1920, were to be included in the 10
per cent reduction and that it would
be put into effect without waiting for
a reduction in wages The freight
rate cut will apply throughout the en-
tire South except on traffic moving
wholly within New England. 1t was
expected that the new rate would be
effective within 10 days as the rail-
roads, it was said, have asked the in
terstate commerce commission,
through their general counsel, to au-
thorlze the change, on ten days no
tice. The reduction wiillcos the rail
roads, about $55,000,0O0, it was esti-
mated. - =: -.
"The railroads have already reduced
freight rates substantially from the
level established by, the commission
in August, 1920" Mr.. Cuyler's state
ment said. ,"The reductions already
made are estimated as accurately as.
can be, to involve loss of revenue at
the rate of from SITS 100000 to $780,
100000 annually. These reductions
on many roads represent loss great
er than any corresponding saving
realized, from reductions in wages al
ready effected. The railroads are fur
thermore, awaiting decisions Of the
labor board, which, it is hoped, will.re-
lieve the companies of the expense Of
many onerous and uneconomical work.
ing conditions. The railroads are not
in a. financial condition to make this
sacrifice.
= "Unless there should be some re-
vival in business, the probability of]
which is conjectural, the entire inn
mediate loss involved in this proposed
reduction in rates will be taken frJm
the ret earnings of the railroads.

Fat People Wish
to Become Thin

New York, Nov. 16.-A great many
fat people in the United States and
Canada avowedly want to become
thin, but don't know how. BY the
hundreds they have been confessing
this desire in letters to City Health
Commissioner Copeland. Their selec-
ton of him as the person who might
take a great weight off their shoul-
ders was suggested by accounts of his
recent mobilization of reducing
squad of fifty fat men and fifty fat
women in New York.
These hundred heavyweights have
been shrinking daily and the letters
from outside New York inquire how
DR.. Copeland does it. It's simple, he
says. Proper diet, regular exercise
and proper living habits are all that
is necessary.
"You cannot be happy unless you
"You cannot be happy unless your
stomach is full" the doctor tells the
fat folks. Then he explains what
foods they should eat to keep happy,
eliminating all those which produce
fat. Some of foods they may eat in
abundance are celery, buttermilk, rad
ishes, endive, lettuce, tomatoes, water
cress, clans, whites of eggs, chicken
without the skin, shad, white meat of
lobster, Goldfish, pears, apples, grape
fruit, lemons, oranges, rhubarb, lean
meat and skinned milk.
"The greatest mistake people make
is in the selection of their food" DIR.
Copeland contends4 "The average
meal is poorly balanced This is
particularly so of breakfast. Imagine
wanting to get thin on a breakfast
like this: cereal and cream, hot muf-
fins with butter and honey, sausage
and possibly some fruit covered with
sugar. This entire meal is made up
of starches and sugar, which adds
flesh and very often as an added Of
fes. e it is washed down with tea, cof-
xxBor cocoa saturated with sugar"
&Dr. Copeland lets his squad eat
fruit for breakfast, except bananas.
He bars sugar, prohibits white bread,
and opposes the drinking of water
with meals because that makes the
room and inclination for more food.
Cereals are all right, he says, if a
tablespoon of bran Is added instead of
sugar.
He recommends Swedish exercises.
But If the ambitious heavy insists on
his calisthenics being 100 per cent
American, the United States army
setting up exercises are just as good
as any other. These can be practiced
within the privacy of the home pro-
vided the home is Of sound construc-
tion and the neighbors pleasant. One
of DIR. Copeland's squad confided that
every time she began bending and
humping there came complaints from
the occupant Of the apartment below.
