Football has taken a leaf from the
books of science and benefited.
After working for months on sys-
tenn to discount the handicaps i'm
posed upon team by a muddy field,
professors in one of the leading uni
versities of the Western Conference
hit upon solution.
The result Of their deliberations
was the invention of the mud shoe.
In place of the customary cleats on
these hoes, a large. round rivet Of
equal cleat length was used. These
rivets We're perforated, then sent TO
a rubber factory in Ohio and the
rivets were dipped into rubber.
The perforation permitted the rub
Der to run inside and thus form
body for the cleat proper. The rough
rubber was then scraped away so the
round rubber cleats took the place of
the leather, the idea being that mud
does not cling to rubber as readily
as it clings to leather.
To make the idea stronger the in
ventors added a composition of

The shot that wounded Jeffery
Nelson carried far through the
forest aisles. 1t came clear as a
voice to the cavern where Ben lay.
The man started violently in his
cot His entire nervous system
seemed to react.
The truth was that the sound
acted much as a powerful stimulant
to his retarded nervous forces. His
mind gave a great leap and remem-
bered its familiar world.
The only possible explanation for
the shot was that rifle had been
fired by some invader in their valley

his men,
He looked out of the door Of the
cavern, trying 10 get some idea. of
the latencss of the hour. The very
quality Of the darkness indicated
that the night was far advanced.
Instantly his keen eyes saw the
far-oft gleam OF the camp fire on the
distant margin OF the lake. His
straining ear caught the faintest, al
most imperceptible vibration in the
air-but Ben recognized it in
flash. In the sullen light Of that
distant camp fire, Beatrice had
screamed for aid,
Swiftly he started down the glade
toward her.
Yet in a moment he knew that un-
less he conserved his strength he
could not hope to make a fourth of
the distance. At the first steps he
swayed, halt staggering.
Likely he would come too late to
change the girls fate. Yet even
now he knew he must not turn back.
If the penalty were death, there
must be no hesitancy in him; he
must not withhold one step.
He fell again and again as he
tried to make headway in the marsh,
Only too plain he saw that the time
was oven now upon him when he
could no longer keep his feet at all
But at that instant he remembered
the canoe. He plunged down into
the tall tules. Yes, the boat was
still in place.
It took all the strength Of his
weakened body to push it out from
the reeds.
The canoe was strongly but light
made, so that it could be portrayed
with greatest possible ease; and his
strokes, though feebble. propelled 1t
slowly through the water.

Ray was aiding his confederate

What is regarded as delaying the

referee believes a team SO offends?
Delaying the game is penalized by

unnecessarily interfering with the
progress of the game, is sufficient
reason for penalizing the offending

SHIRK NO DUTY.

I would like the Congress and

lieve that In a firm and consider
ate way We are insistent on Amer
can rights wherever they may be
Questioned. and deny no rights
OF others In the assertion Of our
own. Moreover we are cornixant
Of the worlds struggles for full
readtustment and rehabilitation
and we have shirked no duty
which comes OF sympathy, or
fraternity. or highest fellowship
among nations. Every obligation
consonant with American ideals
end sanctioned under our form OF
government is willingly met.
When we can not support we do
not demand. Our constitutional
limitations do not forbid the ex-
ercise OF a moral influence. the
measure Of which Ia not less than
the high purposes we have sought
20 serve.

DRY LAW PROBLEMS.

Most of our people assumed that
the adoption Of the Eighteenth
Amendment meant the elimination
of the question from our politics.
On the contrary. 1t has been so
Intensified as an issue that many
voters are disposed to make all
political decisions with reference
to this single question. 1t is dis
tracing the public mind and
prejudicing the judgment Of the
electorate.
The day is unlikely to come when
the Eighteenth Amendment will
be repealed. The fact may as well
be recognized and our course
adapted accordingly. II the statu-
tory provisions for its enforce
ment are contrary to deliberate
public opinion, which I do not be-
lieve, the rigorous and literal en-
forcement will concentrate public
attention on any requisite modin-
cation. Such a course conforms
with the law and saves the humili-
alton of the Government and the
humiliation Of our people before
the world. and challenges the de-
structive forces engaged in wide
spread violation, official corrup-
ton, and individual decentralization.

State and Federal governments.

Of no one who thinks it to be de-

duct Of war itself Is not more diff

Government operation does not

ment operation which brought US
to the very orxier Of things against

Surely the genius Of the rail.

tinct among the railway manag-
ers. New economies, new effici-
encies In cooperation must be
found. The fact that labor takes

within which to effect economies
very difficult. but the demand 10
no less insistent on that account.
Clearly the managers are with
out that intercarrier. cooperative

to the best and most economical
operation. They could not func-
ton in harmony when the strike
threatened the paralysis, of all

SUGGESTS REMEDY.

Tho merger of lines into sys-
TENS, q facilitated interchange of
freight cars, the economic use of
terminals, and the consolidation of
facilities are suggested ways of
economy and efficiency.
I remind you that Congress pro-
cultural inquiry, which made an
exhaustive investigation Of car
service and transportation. and
unanimously recommended in its
report OF October Is. 1921. the
pooling of freight cars under
central agency. This report well
deserves your serious considera-
ton. I think well of the central
agency. which shall be a creation
Of the railways themselves. to pro-
vide. under the Jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
the means for financing equip
ment for carriers which are other
wise unable to- provide their pro-
portion Of car equipment adequate
to transportation needs. This
same agency ought to point the
way to every possible economy in
maintained equipment and the
necessary interchanges in railway
commerce.
In a previous address to the
Congress, called to your atten-
ton the insufficiency Of power to
enforce the decisions Of the Rail-
road Labor Board. Carriers have
ignored its decisions, on the one
hand; railway workmen have chal-
lenged its decisions by a strike. on
the other hand.
The Washington herald., 1922-12-09

will be well to specify that the
labor division shall be constituted
of representatives of the four
rate-making territories, thereby
assuring a tribunal conversant
with the conditions which obtain
in the different rate-making Sec
tons Of the country.
wish I could bring to you the
precise recommendation for the
prevention Of strikes which
threaten the welfare OF the people
and menace public safety. 1t Is
an fmpotent civilization and an
inadequate government which
lacks the genius and the courage
to guard against such a menace
to public welfare as we ex.
perienced last summer. You were
aware Of the Governments great
concern and its futile attempt to
aid In an adjustment. 1t will re-
veal the inexcusable obstinacy
which was responsible for so
much distress to the country to
recall now that, though all dis.
putes are not yet adjusted, the
many settlements which have
been made were on the terms
which the Government proposed
in mediation.
