CORY. Every Youth, as interpreted
by Harrison Duff, is an average
young American business man. The
play takes him through the entire
gamut of sensations common to the
modern office life and social life. He
rubs elbows with Conceit and Van
ity; flirts with Temptation pals with
Pleasure; associates with Vice and
as a result Care enters into his life.
He drives Happiness from the office
with his constant wrangling and dis
! content. He does not care for his
old frnend Work, who pulls him out
of a hard place when he is down and
out. Truth is an insignificant per-
son in his life, and is accordingly
given the cold shoulder. He shuns
Reason and goes on down the path
that can only end in destruction.

Removing from his clothing and
his effects every mark by means of
which his home or his relatives could
be learned, isolating himself from
all the world, Verne Plum, an over
seas veteran Of the world war, locked
in a room at a local hotel, picked UP
a 80 caliber revolver and ended his
life.
The body was discovered yesterday
afternoon. 1t was estimated by an
official of the coroner's office that
death had occurred more than II
hours previously. The body was on
the bed. Beside it was the revolver
as it had fallen from the hand. A
note and a poem left by Plum gave
as his reason for the act lost in
centive to go on"
The man had used great care in
removing from his clothing and ef-
fects every mark by which he might
be identified further than his name.
A hole cut in the sweatband of his
hat indicated that he had removed
the name of the firm from which it
had been purchased. An army uni
form and overseas cap had been
treated in a similar fashion and all
marks OF identification on other
clothing had been removed.
A part of an army discharge paper
was found among his effects. The
lower part of the paper, which con-
tanned his regiment division and
company. where and when dis
charged, had been cut away, leaving
only his name and the date Of en-
listment, June 16, 1917. The name of
the town from which he enlisted had
been cut out. The portion of the
discharge gave his rank as sergeant
and his qualification as an excellent
gunner" The collar which he wore
contained a laundry mark, ''V. r."
A bill-fold found on the body con-
tanned about S5 in silver. but no pa
pers. cards or other effects. The
folder contained a one-franc French
bank note and hotel tag from Paris
France. A small Masonic pin also
was found in the bill-fold with an
unused ticket TO a bull fight in
Juarez on Feb. 5.
According to the hotel employees,
Plum, arrived at the hotel on We'd
nesday morning about $50 and reg
istered, giving his address as Chicago.
He went up to his room, they said.
and was not seen again until the
body was found yesterday afternoon.
About o'clock on Wednesday night
hotel people thought they heard the
report OF a gun in the building, they
said, but were unable to locate the
origin.
The note found in the room was
signed Verne"
On the back OF a printed copy Of
Kipling's poem, If" Plum had writ
ten two more verses in the same style
in which he spoke of playing a losing
game and that he had no goal to
attain except ''the search for gold for
food TO fill his CUTS"
Plum is thought to be about 3S
years of age. A Pullman berth re-
ceipt among his effects showed ii
had been purchased i'm FL Paso on
Feb and was good to Maricopa.
He is thought TO have come to Phoe-
nix from FL Paso. Coroner Henry j.
Sullivan was notified and will hold
an inquest at IL o'clock this morn
ing. The sheriff's office has sent
wire to see if he can be identified
thrangh the records of men who
sc ID in the last war. The American
legion post here also will make an
effort to locate the residence of Plum
through the adjutant generals office

They made eight first downs to their
opponents six and had the edge at

Props made good in their one oppor-

the Kanawhas five times failed in
trials for goal from field.

q TARTING-The ability to start
- quickly depends upon condi-
- tions not only of body, but OF
mind. The player must be alert of
mind, and have his body well bal
anced.
Balance is maintained by posi-
ton in which the feet are planted
firmly upon the floor in stride po-
sition-with enough pressure upon
the balls of the feet to enable the
PLAYER to start forward, backward
or to the side with the least pos
sible waste of time.
One never is sure in what direc-
ton he will be called upon to run.
A player may expect to run forward,
but a poor pass or the successful
Jump of an opponent may give the
ball to the other side, and an i'm
mediate change of direction be de-
manded.
1t is generally wise, particularly
on the "tap-off," for a forward to
maneuver to outwit his guard, but
he must never be- caught flat-footed
should the opposing center get the
tap. While not literally upon his toes,
he fguratively should be. From this
balanced position he is ready upon
call to start quickly for any place
on the floor.
