Much argument was made In favor
OF cutting the goal kick after a
touchdown, for determining the
length of the game by the number
OF plays rather than by time, and
for blackballing runs made by recov-
cry of the ball after fumbles. but
these suggestions were passed up and
the grid battle next fall will be es-
sentially the same as it was last.
1t is largely for the sake of the
spectators that the ball is to be
moved to the 30-yard line after
safety. They will now be able to
distinguish between a safety. from
the 30-yard line, and a touehback,
from the 20-yard line. Both having
taken the ball to the same 20-yard
line, it has caused a good deal of
uncertainty among the spectators in
the past.
The new ruling will also help the
team scored upon. In a great many
cases safeties have been scored when
opposing elevens have had the ad-
vantage of strong wind.
Exchanges of punts gradually
forces the eleven which has to kick
against the wind back to the shadows
OF its own goal posts. In such a po-
sition, the kicker must boot the oval
from behind his own goal posts and
it frequently happens that the wind
carries it back over the lines and a
safety results.

the new weapon, the water was
turned off. knives brought out and
the towns hose cut into small pieces

two years, finally being confiscated,

opening from the seventh and eighth
grade study room. where the humid
ity varied from 80 per cent to AZ
per cent. The worst room was the
second grade room, where il yaried
from 33 per cent to 80 per cent
Another room varied from 81 per
cent to 40 per cent.
The high school, as a whole. had
the least amount of moisture when
the measurements were made. The
chart printed here shows the yaria-
ton in each room in the high school.
The perpendicular lines show the
variation in the percentage of mois-
ture. The top cross line shows the
proper amount of humidity, 80 per
cent. The lower cross line at 40 per
cent shows the lowest per cent of
moisture where the children can
work without positive harm to their
health
As you can see from the chart.
only one room had the necessary
amount of moisture at any time
when the readings were taken. This
was room s, the manual training
room, where the humidity ranged
from 26 per cent to SO per cent The
poorest room was room 6. the math-
ematics room, where the amount of
moisture varied from 81 per cent to
Al per cent. This room was almost
entirely within the zone where the
lack of moisture causes poor health.
Since the proper amount of mois-
ture in the air is so important for
the health Of the children, Miss
Fisher is extending her study to de-
termine what the most economical
and satisfactory method is for sup
plying the necessary amount in the
Pullman schools.
The results of that study will be
published in a later number of The
Herald.
Next weeks issue of the paper will
have a report of the heating condi-
tions in the local schools.

After the ball has been put in
play on the 20-yard line, few ex-
changes of punts again might leave
the team at a wind disadvantage in
the same position. The extra 10
yards will be a great help to elevens
trying to defend their goal when the
opposing teams have advantage in
kicking by being favored with a
strong wind.

Two measurements were made of

The amount of moisture that there

.ocording to the best authorities on
humidity.
when there is less than that
amount the children become tired,
listless and nervous. They can not
ao their best work under those con-
ditons. Lack of moisture in the air
also causes many of the nose and
throat diseases such a catarrah, ade-
nOids and colds.
The readings showed that the Ed
son school had the best humidity,
but even there only one room had
over so per cent of moisture when
the readings were taken. This room
was the second and third grade
room, where the humidity varied
from 81 per cent to Sc per cent.
The poorest room in the Edison
school was the first grade room,
where the humidity varied from 80

In the main building conditions
we're even poorer. No room had the
needed amount of moisture and it
varied from 81 per cent, or just over
half enough, up to As per cent. The

How Lewis Gun
Was Toyed With
Told in Court

London, Aug. 22.-How the
Lewis machine-gun, which was
one of the most effective man-kill-
ers used by the allies in the great
war, was turned down" by near
ly every great power before the
war was brought out in court pro-
ceedings here.
The company that supplied the
machine-guns to the British army
is suing to recover SIS, 900
from the British government. 1t
was testified that Colonel Lewis,
the American who invented the
gun, first offered 1t to the Amer
ican government but the offer was
rejected. Subsequently Germany,
Austria, Russia, France and Italy,
through their military experts, de>
cided that Colonel Lewis was all
wrong.
The British government finally
bought three Lewis guns for test.
On August l, 1914, just before the
outbreak of the wer, the British
war office went in for bust" as
one witness declared, and pur-
chased five. From that time until
the end of the war thousands vert
put into action.

"BelieUe In God' Warns
Woman Healer Claims
DiUine P0zger OUer Ills
Bv William ]. Hnske

Canton, o., Aug. 22. Believe
in God. Then can cure any kind
of diseased"
This is the first statement made
to all prospective patients by Mrs
Lila Taylor. bonnie Scotswoman,
who declares she is a divine heal
er. Her claim to these powers was
attested by the long waiting list OF
manned and halt--sufferers from
almost all the iiIs to which the
human flesh. is heir-that crowded
her little home in this city when
the healer was interviewed.
Il have raised dying men and
women from their beds and made
them well again." she said. my
power l cannot explain. My grand
father had 1t to even a greater de-
gree than l have. He was able
to cure a man by speaking to him.
When l was little gifl l used to
see men hobble into my grand
fathers house on crutches. He
would tell them to place their
crutches in the corner and walk
out. They always did, When l
reach thirty, which will be in a
few months, l hope to have the
power which he long had.'
Started in Early
Mrs. Taylor was born in Scot
land. She says she began curing
people when she was s years old.
She has lived in the United States
for eight years, but only five
months at Canton. In that time
the number of ailing who have vis-
tied her has reached into the hum
dreds.
They come to me so fast / can
not take care Of them" she said.
They come when / am In bed and
when am eating. cannot refuse
to help any of them, or my power
would leave me-"
The divine healer accepts pay
only in very exceptional cases, she
declared. II never take money
from those who have little, but II
the rich want to help me, that Is
all right" she said. IF anyone
paid me who had to go hungry as
result, couldn't Sleep"
Prayers to God in an Indian
tongue are the chief reliance OF
the healer. although she also de-
pends upon incantations and blood
to help along the miracles.
