THERE IS A DASH, a style, about
good-,ook.ng scarf, as well as COM
Portable warmth. In connection with
that previous statement, I am abso-
lutely positive that. no matter what
type of a scarf you want. you can find
it at the Palace Clothing store. The
pure silk imported English and Swiss
scarfs are shown in colors correct for
dress wear, and in the more vivid
shades suitable to the street costume.
There are other styles in pure silk and
fiber silk, that range in price from 81
to $3.50, and many of the wool scarfs
are only $1.50 each. A nifty scarf Is
almost an essential dress accessory to
either women or men, and needless to
say either would be glad to receive one
for Christmas.

as before.
On the other hand, there arc certain
equally famous people for whom the loss
Of a finger-tip would BE misfortune sec

mean the end of career and skill and
fame and fortune.
If It happened to Pnderewsld, great
genius Of the pianoforte, ID would be an
even greater tragedy than that which 1t
may mean to Tilden.
He could still compose, and he might

thing would DO true of any plano player.

to q finger of the left hand, the tragedy
would be complete. His career would be
irTevocably ruined.

How the mere loss Of one fnger4tip,
less than an inch In length, can be of
such tremendous importance, is scientifi-
cally explained
The very perfection of the hand, In
case like that Of Tilden's, is the cause Of
the possible disaster when even small
part of the perfect mechanism" is re-
moved or rendered useless. The co-ordi-
nation and balance of the parts are so abso-
Lutte that TO lose one piece may result In
a vital impairment Of the entire machine.
Perhaps you have never stopped to look
at your own hand and consider its ex-
traordinary mechanism. Maybe you were
surprised at the quoted statement of the
anatomlsts that IL was the "most perfect
instrument, the most perfect organ Of
the human body.
You may doubt the statement. You
may say, 1.-The eye, for instance, is much

The fingers are endowed with

d believes IL has the key to mans rise

Monkeys and apes are the only other
living creatures which have anything
which even roughly corresponds to the
human hand-and the chief differences be-
tween the paw Of monkey and the hand
of man Is that In the latter the fingers
are much longer and more highly devel-

YALEPRESS TAKES
 UP L0WELL'S VIEWS
Comments On Sphere of Football
 in College World

New Haven, Jan. 21.-Yale's un- dergraduate viewpoint for the con cl,,sion of President Lowell of Harvard university that football as an inter- collegiate sport has been given an emphasis out of proportion to its inn portance, as outlined by the Yale Daily News today is that any reform in sports would have to be brought about gradually. It also says that undergraduates and alumni might not oe insympathy with proposed reforms.
 The News, after discussing the joints made by President Lowell says:
 Modern football, as at present or- sanized has been the target for three principal charges: that of profess aionalism, of mdisidualism, and of 3ommercialism. The nation wide competition resulting from the custom )f playing a different opponent each
 week. has made it less game of en- .oyment than business of winning. Secondly, the process of manufactur- .ng successful teams has developed tue abnormal athlete at the expense 1f the normal And finally, the huge .nnls received from gate receipts have east a commercial shadow over con- ,ests intended originally for the sake Jf sport-and nothing else.
 Unquestionably there is some ruth in these accusations. The only ,yAy they can be sllenced at Yale is Dy radical departure from the tradt- .lonai athletic policy of the university. # national competition is to be avoid- Ad prelinlinary games must be partial " or entirely done away with; if the principle Of athletics for all Is real iaed intra- mural games must be sub ;tituted; and if commercialism is to be discouraged, expenses must be cut down by carrying the reform into all branches of athletics"
 Any change--if change is wanted would be merely an attempt to cor rect radical defects in the present or ganization of college athletics. Such change would not come immediately.
