1t will be remembered that the
Red and White team from the fllv'

Years to humble the Maroon and
Gold. With a powerful line that
held against the attacks Of the b. Z.
,ackfield. and a hackfield that lit
rally smashed the Eagle line, De
roit won brilliant victory over
'avanaugh's men.
In the opinion Of Coach Duffey,
Detroit has n team as strong, II not

-Four linemen and three backs of
last season are again in the Detroit
lineup.
Speed Ellis and Gus Sonnenherg,
the mainstavs of tn" Red and White
line. will again oppOs,' Boston Col
Iege. Both Ellis and Sonnenberg
ranked with the best tackles in the
game, and II is expected that they
will prove as stiff a barrier to the
b. c. backs as they did last fall.
The guard positions VII be rs
strong as the tackles. Tom Mo
Namara, a regular vet, will hold
one position, while Harry Klein,
n 265.pOund chunk, will fill the
other place.
Flannery. a hig and fast man,
probably will play center. He has
done very good work in the games
Detroit has already played. and. al
though a freshman. Coach Duffev
considers him promising pivot
man.
McKenna, the elusive quarterback,
will direct the attack against the
Boston invaders. MCKenna's fast,
shifty playing had the B. c. line
baffled. He is every bit as good
this year, and will he a constant
threat to the Boston College eleven.
Loomis at left half and Welch at
full are two more baCkfield veter-
ans. Nreeland will probably play
at right ha!f.
Coach Cavanaugh has only two or
three days in which to do a great
deal of work. AS the team must
leave for Detroit by tomorrow at the
latest. three days is all he will have
to strengthen the B. c. line.

tentions may be of the best when tax
en- in the mass, but their selfish inter-
ests may creep into the consideration
so strongly as to make agreement on
world program out of the question.
The old world jealousies were not
wiped out by the World war; they are
as powerful as ever although perhaps
concealed under veil Of seeming
frankness, such as this conference
might be taken to be. Moreover, the
conference is being participated in by
nations, whose interests are very much
at variance with the general thought
of the world; and the influence which
those nations are able to bring on the
conference may prove prejudicial to.the
formation Of a program such as was
contemplated at the outset. And,
finally, the United States is not a real
participant in the conference although
our ambassador to Italy is to have a
seat where he can watch the deliber
ations. We Americans are, perhaps,
inclined to place too high a valuation
on the influence of the United States
in world affairs, so that it might sound
like presumption to say that the con
ference will fail of its highest purpose
because of the fact that the United
States is not an active participant in
the conference; but at the same time
we have rather strong evidences that
the good opinion of the United States
and the cooperation of the United
States are considered by the nations of |
the world to be very desirable in or
der to put through program Of such
vast proportions. But the Genoa con.
ference is going it without the United |
States. That is reason why one is |
inclined to say that a good deal of
hope but not great deal of faith is
centered In the Genoa conference.

The Small Town Doctor.

Although the professions are said
to be oyercrowded the small town doc
tor seems to have disappeared. Sever.
al small towns in western Massa-
chusetts are crying for some doctor to
locate there, Vermont has a number OF
towns without doctors and now the
New York state grande finds the prob
lem so pressing in certain rural sec
tions of the state that il proposes to
initiate program for the erection of a
hospital and home for physician in
every community.
Medical service is a necessity of life,
and If the exoduse of doctors from the
country to town and city continues, it
is only a matter of time until the
government will have to provide doc
tors as the New York grange proposes.
hTe reason fors the exodus is plain.
Country practice is hard. Collections
are difficult. Financial rewards are
small In the cities, on the contrary.
physicians do well They get adequate
fees and have good streets to travel on
when called by patients. A survey Of
the earnings of physicians in large
towns, many villages, and the cities
would, we doubt not, show the profess
sion abundantly prosperous as whole.
They have learned to provide for their
future. in marked contrast TO the old.
time country doctors who, as an ex-
change enthusiastically AYERS. "have
done more TO ennoble their profession
and make IL useful TO humanity than
all the illustrious specialists put to-
gether." This may be truth or error

Cave Not An Embroidery Man.

In our gossiping about gubernato-

of men for the legislature, let it not be
forgotten that the voters are this year
called upon to nominate man for one
of the most responsible elective offices
state treasurer. Vermont wants a
man who knows his business in this
office, not one who seeks the honor as a
bit of embroidery for political career.
Thomas H. Cave, jr., the present
deputy state treasurer, s'the man who
can and will do the work" several
months ago announced that he would
be candidate for the office "Tom"
Cave is not blessed with sufficiently
plethoric bank roll to tour the state
and shake hands with every voter,
moreover, he cannot neglect the duties
of his office. 1t is up to the friends of
Mr.. Cave to constitute themselves mis-
sionaries in his behalf and secure his
nomination and election From what
the Herald can learn, Addison county
voters will be satisfied with Mr.. Cave
as state treasurer and they will give
him handsome endorsement at the
primaries in September Bristol Her.

lunch while motoring in California
and left her jewel case containing S45,-
900 worth of jewels with her maid The
maid placed the case ON table ''for

jewels were gone. CALI Curci had been
robbed and the crime wave had received
fresh momentum in the newspapers.
Suppose the prima donna, when go
ing to lunch, had passed over $4,000
in bills to her maid for safe keeping
how would that have looked to sensible
peoplei She would not have handed
over to the girl so much actual cash

scented TO carry $4,000 cash in a hand

il was matter of small moment to

The element of the heroic is injected
into the near recking of passenger
train Of the Maine Central railroad by
landslide near st. Johnsbury when
one reads that the train was stopped
just in time through the tagging of
the train by boy and a man who
saw the track was blocked few min
utes before the scheduled arrival of
the train. Those who are given to
writing epics have fresh theme in
the occurrence near st. Johnsbury a
few days ago. An epic with all the
stirring features calculated to hold one
breathless might be written on the saw

A Southbridge, Mass, family, who
had $4,000 in Liberty bonds secreted
in one place in their house and $500
in gold coin and jewelry hidden in 9th
err parts of the house, were lucky to
have the 81 500 in gold coin and jewel
ry after visit to the house by burg
lars. With banditry ON the increase
in various parts of the country, par
ticularly in the east, there is abso-
lutely no sense in leaving so much
removable valuables as $1,000 in ones
house; and the persons who are so
strangely careless are merely inviting
loss and possible death, the latter pos
sibility being predicated on the belief
that thieves nowadays are not only
bold but more or less desperate. A
considerable percentage of the bolder
thieves of the present day have little
or no regard for human life when that
life stands in the way of their loot
They are just as willing to bump Off
those who resist them as they are to
take the goods Of those persons,
Hence, it is entirely foolish TO leave
valuables around which can be readily
removed, for lynx-eyed thieves are
sooner or later likely to become cog
infant of the fact that there are valu-
ables to be secured.

Cunning for Boston policemen ought
to be less desirable sport after the

have been one of the actuating causes

Preston. Every unpublished crime is
