Five Hundred Have Played

1t has hpcn estimated that at least
800 student, NJ the University have
PLAYED football in the past at either
high or prep schools. or this number,
eighty turned out last September. In
iurios and three causes further reduced
that number until the actual squad
about the time the season opened had
less than ifty-fvp in it.
From that amount Of talent. many
Of whom have had little or no expert =
pnCo. the coaches must develop an eleven
that can compete with such teams as
Pittsburgh. Dartmouth and other col
Iegp teams that have huge squads that
work during the entire season. A first
varsity and al least twenty seCOnu
string men and more than two scrub
olevenS is necessity TO tho success OF
any big university football team.
If 200 candidates reported every
year and the coaching staff is large
enough to handle that number. and II
Is expected it will be. ten or more teams
could be working out simultaneously on
the several University fields. As a
candidate showed his aptitude he would
be- promoted until he reached the var.
>itE squad. That is the plan the navy
Uses. and how we'll it works out can
be CLEANED from the success Of Fol-
well ) eleven during the last season.

WAX MUST FIRST BE HEATED
impossible to Get Light From Wax
Candle Without the Presence Of
Necessary Gases.

A wax candle really is a gastorch.
You will find that when you. apply a
lighted match to the wick Of a candle
1t will not light readily. You have to
hold the match to the wick until the
wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax
hot enough to turn II into gases which,
on mixing with the oxygen in the air,
produce the fire In the form of light
The candle will continue to be
lighted and to burn as long as the
wax continues hot enough to give or
the gases or until the candle is en-
tirely consumed. Any interruption to
this process of Transforming the wax
into gas will result In the extinguish-
ing Of the light.
The reason the candle goes out
when you blow on the fame is that
the gases which feed the flame at the
end Of the wick are blown away, the
process Of turning the hot wax into
gas is interrupted and with the gas
supply shut Off the flame is extin-

fact that she wished her niece to have
her hair bobbed. He took the cue,

CAUSED BY DEPRESSION.

Senators Realize incomes and Excees
Profits VIII Not Swell Uncle
Sans Golfers so Heavily
ss In Bumper" Years.

Washington.-A shrinkage Of more
than one billion dollars in income and
excess profits taxes this fiscal year
was reckoned upon by the senate H.
nance committee in revising the house
tax bill with view to raising 1924
100000 in internal revenue in the IL
months ending june 80.
This was disclosed by the majority
report approved by committee repub-
licans and made public. The estimated
total revenue under the bill is $780,
000, 1000 less than treasury experts have
figured would be returned this fiscal
year under the present law, but is
$84 100000 more than the total under
the house bill.
Estimated returns this fiscal year
from income and profits taxes are ST.
$50 0C0, 900, according to the report, as
against approximately $4,000, ,0O0,0 Of
actual collections in the fiscal year
ended last June 80. Only about $780,
100000 of this difference Of $1,12O, ,O0O,-
900 is accounted for By changes pro-
posed in the present law. Treasury Of
ficers and committee members explain
ed that the remainder is charged off 10
sh: inkage on account Of business de-
presSiCn, diversion Of funds to tax
eAenlpt securIes and other causes.
Declaring that the $3,324, 100000 to-
tai proposed under the revised bill was
only $52000,000 more than the treas
ury had estimated would have to be
raised through internal taxes, the re-
port said that this was a margin Of
safety none too large for the fiscal
year 1922, in view OF the existing busi'
ness depression and the uncertainty at
taching to the yield of the income and
profits taxes"
"YOur committee has acted tho re-
port said, ION the assumption that
with the exception of the special rail-
road expenditures, which will be near
ly IL not wholly completed in the fiscal
year 1922-the aggregate expenditure
for the fiscal year 1923 will be substan-
italy as large as in the fiscal year
1922. The special railroad expendit-
ures included in the 1922 budget
amount, in round numbers, 10 $500, ,0O0,-
900; and the receipts from customs and
miscellaneous sources for the fiscal
year 1928 are estimated at $3.50, ,000, 900.
Deducting both amounts ($1,23c,0OO,-
O0O) from the total estimated expend-
lures for 1922 ($4.O34, ,OOO, ,OO0) leaves
in round figures $2,SOO, 800, ,OOO,O 900 to be
supplied by internal taxes for the fiscal
year 1898.

Reorsanizlns Army to Resist PetIura's

Moscow.-The Russian soviet gov.
ernment is virtually without the serv-
ices of Nikolai Lenine, who is recuper-
ating in the suburbs of Moscow and
is passing much OF mis- time in shooting
birds. Great secrecy is maintained
regarding his whereabouts. 1t is
stoutly denied at the Kremlin that he
is i'll.
Lenine's strength began to give way
after the all-sovIet congress, in which
he bore the brunt of the fight In fore
ing through his new economic pol
icy, which was 4antamount to an aban-
donment of the principles of Bolshe-
Yism.
Leon Trotzky, soviet war minister,
also is absent from Moscow, having
personal charge of the preparations for
the mobilization of Southern Russian
forces to be held in readiness should
Roumania attack Russia.
1t is officially stated there is no
truth in reports that an American re-
lief train was seized by the Bolsheviki.
Nearly $3,OOO,OOO worth of food is now
within Russia's frontiers. 1t has not
been interfered with in any respect.
Also reports of great fire in Moscow
are without foundation.
Reval, via London.-Leon TrotSky,
Russian Bolshevist minister of war, is
in Odessa owing to the Roumanian
menace. He is reorganizing the Boil
shevist army.
Speaking before the Odessa soviet,
he characterized Gen. Petlura's bands
as under Roumanian protection and
formed for the purpose of seizing the
Kamenetz-Podollsk and Mogilecsky
districts, which Trotzky declared, the
invaders WAesh to use as base for fur
ther military operations.
1--WE do not want war, for our OBJ
ject is tne economic reconstruction of
Russia" Trotzky said. "But we must
protect our western frontier. We are
strong enough to defeat our enemies,
and if our enemies attack us their
frontier win not be tomorrow where
it is today"
Along radio dispatch has just been
sent out by Tchitcherin, Bolshevist
minister for foreign affairs, accusing
the Polish general staff Of supplying
the White" Russian leader, Boris. Sa-
vinkoff, who was minister OF war in
the Kerensky cabinet, with money and
arms to raid Russian territory and
wreck trains. He says he is in posses
sion Of a mass of documentary evil

SLUMP IN PROPERTY VALUES
CUTS COUNTY TAX ROLL

SENATOBIA, Miss, April 12.-
According to the statement of Tax
Assessor Fred T. Massey, Tate Coun-
ty properly is being given in by the
tax payers at the lowest figures for
several years, and as a result the
tax roll bids fair to be about one half
the amount of last year. Lands are
being assessed at less than half the
assessment of two years ago. The
stocks Of merchants will be consid-
erably less than last year This short
age in values will make it hard for
the board of supervisors to realize
enough taxes to meet the bonded in
debtedness and current expenses.
Heretofore the state tax commits
sion has held the values up to the le-
gal requirements; that is, the market
value of the property, or it's actual
worth; but since the market value
has slumped to one half or less, it
locks like the commission will be
"robbed of its teeth" in the mater
OF ordering the values raised. AL
ready the number of mills on the as
sessed val1e of the property has
reached the maximum fixed by the
law, so that 1t looks very much like
taxes this year are going TO be much
less, regardless Of the taxing boards
Of the county or the state.

BRYAN GIVES OPINION
ON PALMER BEER RULING

William ]. Bryan gave the United
Jews Association the following inter-
lew expressing his opinion of the
roposed beer for medicinal purpos-
s ruling. First, the new admins
ration should not have been embar-
assed by an important opinion at
uch a time when it must necessarily
ndorse or repudiate. Second, the o.
inion is misrepresentation of the
pirit of the law if not Of the letter,
nd encourages violation.
If the opinion stands, medical col
eges will soon be established 20 con-
vert liquor dealers into tonic doctors
general debility physicians.
While the Prohibition law only ap-
plies to beverage liquors its enforce
nent cannot be evaded by merely
hanging the name "drink" to "dose"
by substituting a doctor for sa-
oon keeper.
If the Palmer opinion results in
Wholesale evasion Of the law as
GEMS likely it will have to be modi-
led by the new attorney general or
emedied by act of Congress.
The Prohibition Amendment is a
permanent part of the federal Con-
titution. No well informed person
whether he be wet OF dry expects it
to be repealed. 1t must therefore be
enforced.
Failure to enforce it would invite
which would menace or
derly government. Respect for law
should not depend upon the citizens
opinion of the law; it should rest on
loyalty TO government.
Criminal laws are not intended
primarily for those who like them.
such do not need them. A criminal
law is intended for those who do not
like it. Law is the crystallization of
public opinion and public opinion
when duly embodied in law must pre-
vail or popular government will be-
come farce.

deliberate act of the American people
and it can not be repealed ty Off
