Adams served as pilot Of the
varsity In several games last year,
and has been under fire enough to
keep his head under trying cOndi-
tons. He seemed to display more
real generaIship last fall than any
man the HiIltOppers have had at
the helm in some years.
Tom Golsen has performed with
the scrubs for two years, but has
rarely had chance to break into
the varsity lineup. In the same
category are Frank Murray and SAT-
ferans.
Strangely enough, the candidates
who seem to be making the strong
est bids for the fulIback and halfbaak
berths have never had any Hilltop
experience save with the yearling
eleven of last year.
Plansky seems to be in the van Of
those aspiring to the position of full

with his speed and proficiency as a

quite an edge on the other aspirants.

BUSINESS MEN LIKE OTHERS
Somewhat Prevalent Error Is in Con-

Orators and literary folk Of GER

many business men are themselves
poor. Many of them fail because OF
unreliability, idleness, extravaganza,
lack Of intelligence.
Business men are like any other
class of men; some Of them capable,
reliable industrious and successful,
and some of them the reverse.

Insane Artists.

There is an insane asylum at Hell
delberg, Germany, where, at the pres.
ent time a very interesting art exc
hibition is being held. Some excellent
canvases, pieces of sculpture, and a
few charming mosaics are being
shown.
All the works of art at the exhibit
ton are the creations of the inmates
of the asylum. Most Of them are first
attempts. In fact, several of the exc
hibitors have learned the art of paint
ing and sculpture in the asylum itself.
1t is said that the exhibition reveals
some work of unusual promise and Is

FOND FAIRYs INVITATION

The Pond Fairy, wearing lovely
costume Of green and silver, with a
crown to match which had in it many
dazzling jewels, and carrying a silver
wand, was calling upon little George
Green Frog.
Little George Green Frog thought he
was a very superior young frog.
He was very proud of himself and
now he was delighted to think that the
Pond Fairy had come to call upon him
and had invited him away on a visit
Oh, he would be glad to go away
and mix with creatures more his own

"Yes,e' the Pond Fairy said, "Tve

today"
Il thought as much" said George.
sYou see," George went on, ''these
frogs aren't really in my class at all.
perhaps 1 should say that I'm not
in their class. I'm sure that 1 must
have had some great-grandfather. or
perhaps even two or three, who were

''Eels did you say?" inquired Pond
Fairy.
"Earls," answered George, who felt
a little annoyed at the Pond Fairy's
misunderstanding him.

Thousands upon thousands of women

Women's complaints often prove to be

'bons' quickly right after it. There,
you have it right" she ended, as
George said the name.
I'D love to-" George agreed, "and
the sooner we start the better would
be pleased. I'm tired of this pond, I'm
tired of all these common green frogs.
They're so happy and so contented just
being frogs. They never want to get
any farther up in the world. And yet
they have such good times. That
shows their ignorance, am sure.

and croaking and shopping for bugs
and having parties and never reaching
out for other things y
'What do you want to reach out for
besides bugs?" asked Pond Fairy,

George Frog. Creatures who are
contented don't succeed in that They're
too happy being ordinary little pond
creatures"
'"True, true" said Pond Fairy. sWeN,
you come with me and we'll take you
to visit the Sbons. They live in place
known as Gums Landing"
That very day they started. George
took his best green suit Of clothes and
his handsome orange yellow necktie, Of
which he was very proud, and, after
putting them in his moss suitcase, he
hoped along after the Pond Fairy.
No one noticed that he was leaving
the pond, which disappointed him, but
still he knew that the silly frogs he
had left behind wouldn't think any
thing of travelling and adventuring
away from their own kind, while he,
George Green Frog, was going to visit
the Sbons at Gums Landing!

stopped. Were at the entrance to

George had expected to see a big
wharf or dock or some such kind Of a
landing, but there didn't seem to be
any landing at all.
'It's just the name of the place.
said Pond Fairy, meaning that when
you have reached this point you've
landed in the Gums country belonging
to the Sbons.

George.

Rx EDWARD 3. CLARK

Westinghouse looks at this writ
ing as if the ship subsidy bill is
doomed to be sunk. Perhaps sunk
is not just the word to use to describe
the fate Of the bill because it will be
neither summarized nor sent to the
bottom by gun-fire. Subsidy, perhaps,
will be left on the dry-dock where all
persons may see it in the future, but
where for long time the people will
probably not pay much attention to it.
This is a fair statement of the
facts in the case: The administration
desires that the bill shall be passed.
There are many friends of the meas
ure in the senate, but they seemingly
are powerless to do much in its behalf
because its enemies are numerous
enough and strong enough to put
chains across its bow SO it cannot en-
ter into the harbor Of passage. The
house passed the bill. 1t was drawn
after an immense amount of labor, a
great deal of deep thought, and with
good deal of enthusiasm, but it prob
ably will not pass-and the chief rea-
son why it will not pass. if it doesn't,
is because it bears the name Sub
sidy."
Psychology seems to have a good
deal to do with legislative matters.
Representatives in congress who
would like to find some means of maxi
ing the American merchant marine a
stable sailing proposition are shy of
the word subsidy because it means
the payment of money, and they know
that a great many of their constitu-
ents also dislike the word. 1t is
probable if some means could be found
to pay the money necessary to keep
the American ships afioat which did
not have so sharp an intimation that
treasury money must be used to sup
ply the floating power, the bill might
go through.
