Street cIsanina

All good citizens will approve the stand taken
by City Magistrate Kirkland in dealing with the idle
youth who stand on the streets and insult women
and girls by their vulgar stares and whispered COM

that many decent women had gone out OF
their way and abandoned the thoroughfares where
these loafers most congregate. few Jail sentences,
think win clear the streets of these excrescenses
The sidewalks in front of poolrooms cigar stands
and drink have been the most dsfigured
by the presence of loafers who. however, are
not exclusively confined them They have afflicted
ali sections of the streets which extensively

No doubt, New Mexico has larger percentage of

Dog Captures .Truant
 Monkey at Liberty on
 Maumee River a-Week

Defiance, O., Oct. 24.-After leading the countryside a merry chase for a week and successfully evading capture the little West Indian monkey, which had been the proud possession of Charles Yearling, living three miles from Defiance, finally fell a victim to a Defiance County dog.
 The monkey was received by Year ling early in the summer from rela- tive who is engaged in government work in the West Indies. Recently he made his escape from the box in which he had been confined. All eff forts at capture failed. He spent his time along the Maumee river and was likely to turn up almost anywhere. From Delaware Bend nearly to Defi- ance people got in the habit of look ing in the treetops for the chattering truant.
 Whenever the monkey was sighted farmers left their work and spent a while in futile effort to coax him back
 to captivity. It was no uncommon thing for a farmer to get up in the m orring and find the monkey swing ing through the orchard trees, help ing himself to plums and peaches and apparently following a futile though not fruitless quest flor some real West India cocoanuts. Even bananas failed to tempt the little fellow to again submit to cap tivity And then came Frank Schwartz's dog in a surprise attack. He left the monkey no chance to es- cape, and with two good bites and a shake the animal immigrant was no more

 Paris Oct 24-'Murder!"
 The word re-echoed up and down the aisle of the empty motion picture theatre. It was as if a phantom aud fence read 1t with muted lips from the caption of a horror film that only ghostly eyes could see.
 Only an hour before real films had spun genuine thrill fiction before the big eyes of the susceptible Paris fans.
 All that seemed silly play now. Two men, one trembling holding an cleo tric torch borrowed from an usherette, stood transfgured before a small closet under the stage. They had just thrown open the closet door.

Haughton System Used on Harvard Grid Just
 Efficiency, Says Walsh

New York. Oct. 24-Much in the way of generaliza ton has been writ ten of the Haughton system in liar ward football, but little that Is defin- lte mas ever been given specific men l4on; Vaguely, a critic will aiiude ID the aIl-WIse and compr ehensiVe na- I'lre of the system but he studious- " avoids telling you just what it is our purports to be.
 The system, so called, is no more involved than any other On the contrary, it is more simplihed It might be characterized, in the ab- stract, as an intelligent study of men ana conditions and the application of the knowledge thus gained in the most simple and direct manner.
 Common Sense Method.
 No hit or miss meth ods, no guess work, no false motions or wasted energy. To use a much overworked term. efficiency is the keynote and efficiency is defined as economic pro- cuctivity, literary butchers to the con- traTy.
 At the moment Yale enjoys the dis tInctfon of having a yorng man on its varsity football team by the name Of Charley O'Hearn, who can kick, run and pass; in short, one of those rare individuals known as a triple threat" He is being used at quar- terback, where he is sometimes criti- CiZed for lack of iudgment
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-24

If O'Hearn had gone to Harvard he never would have been allowed to play quarterback. There they deve1- op the cool, calculating type like Buell., who is kept out of the heavy going so that he can be thinking of the next play while the present one is still under way. A man like O'Hearn they place at half back and let him run his head off. It is apparently Haughton's idea that you are either too shifty to be a quarterback or too smart to be a halfback. You are never both.
 ''Bo' Horrible Example.
 A case in point is "Bo'' McMi1lan, famous Centre College quarterback. Two years ago he came to the liar ward stadium at the head of the Pray ing Colonels and Harvard won by a score of 31 to IA. A critic thought McMi1lan used poor judgment in the second period and didn't hesitate to say as much.
 Well, maybe did, MoIil1an said after the game. But I'm surprised to know that I used any at all. carried the ball so many times in the early part of the game and got such a-drubbing that didn't remember anything"
 The man who didn't remember any, thing was calling the signals and di- recting the play of ten other men. That could never happen at Harvard under the Haughton system.
