AlTROCK AND SCHACHT
OPEN B. F. KEITH TOUR

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Nick AL
trock and Al Schact. the baseball
comedians of the Washington Amer
lean League club, have made q sue
cessful plunge into theatricals. They
opened a B. +. Keith tour at the
Prospect Theater last night and were
well received.
The diamond comedians put on
much the same stunt they showed
at the Polo grounds during the re-
cent world series, but many additions
have been made. The travesty on
Ruth st. Denis was the biggest hit.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-It cost
"Uncle Charley" Moran $2,l09.53
to smile the way he did after his
Center College team defeated Har-
ward last week. To whip the
Southern team in shape, Moran
had to give up the honor of UNI
piring in the worlds series, post
offered to him by the National
League.
He refused to ask Center for a
ten days extension of time, and
passed up the job that paid the
four officials s8,438.12.

JAP ATHLETES.
FAILING IN MOST
SPORT EFFORTS
Tennis and Baseball Seem to
Be Strongest Fortes OF
Nipponese.

While Japan has been making long
strides in the tennis world and in base
ball, the Nipponese are not so well
equipped in other branches of sport.
Men were entered in various events
in the Olympic games for which thei'
stature untitled them, and while
the japanese entries in the marathoI
managed to finish. they were as fa
in the rear as the much talked of lon
distance star from India. The Fa
Fasteners have a certain kind of en-
durance, to he sure, as has been
demonstrated by their troops, especial
succor of foreign legations in Pekin
some years ago, but so far they have
been unable to develop pace.
Mere imitation will not bring out a
quality that is not there. The tennis
players get il, but il seems to he for
eign to the makeup Of those who
in for work on the track. In the fie'
events they seem to be just abOu
hopeless. Some of the big wrestleI
might do something with the swingin,
weight, but certainly not with the
pushed weight, for the latter requires
the use of an entirely different set Of
muscles.
Hurdlng, however, is being prac.
ticed with n degree of enthusiasm in
Japan that augurs we'll for the future
of that sport, although here again the
Japanese are handicapped by their lack
of structure and long legs.
Carl Erdman, Of Princeton, gave
some of the young japanese student
at Kioto some pointers in the art, but
II is to he feared that II will be many
year before n japanese who can get
up the pace and produce the style of
an Erdman can be developed If ever.

A New Educational Plan

Out of 10000 names of promin- ent men in the first edition of "Who's Who," 39 had no schooling, 1,008 were graduates of common schools, 1,545 of high schools, and 5,990 of colleges.
 Less than one per cent. of the pop ulation are college graduates and yet this tiny minority furnishes much more than half of the notable men of the country. G.
 More than ninety-nine per cent. of the spopulation are handicapped in the race for. success by lack of a higher education, not because they don't want it, but because they can not afford it. The average family cannot lay aside from $500 to $1,000 year for four years when the time comes to send the son or daughter to college.
 It would not, however, be difficult for this average family to lay aside much smaller sum each year over a longer period. This is the idea at the bottom of the new plan for finan- cing children's education worked out by the Connecticut General Life In- surance Company, and recommended by its representative here, MT. F. North Clark.
 Beginning when the child is small, the father makes annual deposits un- til the child is ready for college. Then his deposits cease and the Com pany makes four annual payments to him of the amount he has arranged for. The total cost of the education is thus distributed over perhaps fif- teen years instead of over only four, and at no time seriously taxes the family exchequer.
 This plan means that the necessary money will be ready at the time needed, even if the father dies or becomes unable to work through ill- mss or accidental injury. The Com pany agrees that under these condi- tions it will require no more deposits but will pay the amount arranged for according to the original plan.
 A widow holding a secretarial posi- ton has one of these Educational Endowment contracts. In nine years when her daughter, who is now sevenA is ready for college, there will be $500 year for four years to pay for the college course. A business man whose annual income is we'll above $25,OOO and who, if all goes we'll, can easily stand additional expense for his children's education has bought Educational Endowments for each. as the convenient way and the safe way, because now, even if he dies or loses his earning power through disability, they will carry out his plans for giving his children good start.

 Lethargic Encephalitis

The widespread appearance of lethargic encephalitis, popularly known as Fsleeping sickness, is attracting the attention of the health officers of Connecticut, parti- cularly so because of the high fatal ity rate (25 per cent.) of this dis ease. Lethargic Encephalitis appar- ently made its appearance in recent times in 1916 near Vienna, Austria, thence in Europe in 1917, and cases were reported in the United States in 1918. Cases were reported in Connecticut during the late fall and winter of 1919. In 1920, 40 cases were reported by physicians to the state health officers. There are no signs of this disease becoming epi- demic, but it is extremely desirable that all the information possible be obtained in regard to each case ap- bearing in the state.
