Coach Robert Zuppke figures out football little finer every year.
 This year he had little talk with the Illinois psychologists and found out that orange colored jerseys got better results than blue.
 Accordingly the traditional blue of Illini will change to the more ef- ficient orange this fall.
 Zuppke's colo~ scheme is the first colorful football story that's come out so far this year.

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Practice Means That One VIII Be
Ready to Seize Opportunity
When II Comes

Practice thrift habituaIly. Make II
as much a part of your routine as
eating and sleeping. Get yourself sys-
tematized. Work on definite sched-
ule. Save regular amounts. Plan your
work and your actions so that you
will have no idle time, no lost motion,
no wasted energy.
These are among the secrets OF sue
cess, happiness and progress.
The time to begin the cultivation OF
thrift habits is now.
The most important message that
can be conveyed to the people Of this
nation today is: Get the thrift habit"
Practice thrift not for a brief inter
val or internationally. but habitually.
DisraelI said, The greatest secret
Of success in life is to be ready when
your opportunity comes"
This brief sentence furnishes one OF
the best reasons for practicing thrift
that ever has been given. 1t presents
phase of the question to which not
enough attention is paid. Ordinarily
thrift is looked upon as a means OF
safeguarding one against possible
emergencies or OF building up an &C
emulation of money for some definite
purpose. But there are many unex
pected turns in the pathway of life

"Oh. yes" replied the widow, but

When Samson and Harry Needles

firm discretion, was little disturbed by
