WESTERN ATHLETES GIVEN
Big BACKING Is CHARGE
Sensational Statements Made by Ar

Magazine.

Chicago, Aug. Charging thai
many western conference athletes are
| being given financial backing by In
terested alumni and that prep school
athletes are being subsidized by lum-
nj for intercollegiate competition. an
article in the Northwestern university
alumni News demands disqualified
ton of all college men who receive
any financial assistance for competing
for their school in athletics.
The article asks that the conference
officials amend the rules and declares
that the stakes are increasingly en-
larged and as result 1t is seriously
demoralizing the viewpoint and NOR
ality Of High school boys OF athletic
ability.
On the subject of scholarships the
article says 'it is understood that in
several such institutions valuable
scholarships are annually awarded to
students largely on account of thier
athletic ability, without regard to
scholastic attainment" 1t adds that
intercollegiate athletics are in danger
of becoming so commercialized that
universities may eventually bar
athletic contests. Signs already ap-
pear. the article said, that secondary
schools are being subsidized and "the
young athlete of High school age has
gained the impression that football is
one Of the most important functions
of the college" and gives a chance to
capitalize athletic ability"
The article adds that it believes the
alumni and not the universities are
offering the pecuniary awards for
athletic ability. Resolutions embody-
ing the views have been adopted by
the board of directors of Northwest
ern alumni association and submitted
to the conference as a whole and to
each conference school, and the mat
ter has been taken up with Major
John Griffith, director of conference

NEW HIGH LEVEL NOTED
FOR WHEAT IN CHICAGO.
Prices Boosted by Crop Estimates
From Kansas and Nebraska and
Canada Reports.

CHICAGO. August 10.-Estimates
that Kansas ana Nebraska this season
have no surplus wheat and have only
raised enough for their own mill and
seed requirements did good deal to
lift wheat values here.
AT hrst the wheat market had a
downward tendency, the result of
hedging sales and the fact that buy
ing appeared to be of a scattered
character 1t became evident, how
ever that offerings were passing into
strong hands. At this juncture re-
ports from Kansas City indicated that
domestic millers We're actively pur-
chasing choice hard winter wheat.
Mlllers also were said to be good
buyers of wheat on track in Chicago.
Ihe reason given, that Kansas and
Nebraska were no longer to be count
ed as among the 1928 surplus Uroduc-
Ing states, soon was followed, by an
upward swing in prices to a new high
level for the week.
Continued bullish crop reports from
the Canadian northwest aided the as
cent According TO current advices
damage to Canadian wheat has been
much heavier than was looked for.
and serious further curtailment by
ffoSt seems likely. Some notice was
taken also of reports that differences
between United States vessel owners
ana the Canadian government might
interfere with prompt handling of Ca
madam wheat by way of the great
lakes.
Corn and oats rose with wheat
shipping demand. both for corn and
bats, was well maintained.

TALKS OF HUGE DEFICIT

Count Kessler of Berlin, in Address,

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. August

.5,910,763 IN TOTAL
STEEL TONS OVERDUE
Orders Unified July 81 Reported
by U. s. Corporation-De-
crease Shown.

NEW YORK, August 10.--Unfilled
orders of the United States Steel Cor
poration on July 81, just made public,
totaled 5.9i0.763 tons, a decrease OF
475.4ss under those at the end of the
preceding month and the smallest
since July 81 Of last year, when the
total was 5,776.1sl tons.
While the decrease was about
75,5O0 tons more than Wall street had
anticipated. II reflected a better de-
mand for steel in July than in June,
when the decrease was 595, $50 tons
below the preceding month. Making
allowance, however, for the smaller
shipments in July, II was estimated
by market observers that bookings
last month were 5000 tons a business
day more than those In June, the
daily gain being smaller than trade
reports had indicated.
Orders now on hand repre- sent ap-
proximately five months business at
the current operating ratio of 80 per
cent, Elimination of the twelve hour
day is expected to slow up shipments,
but steel men do not look for any
marked Improvement in the industry
until September or October, so that a
further decrease in tonnage next
month would not appear improbable.
The high mark sin untitled tonnage
this year was reached in March. when
the total was 7,403.332 tons. In the
four months since orders have de-
ciined 1.492.569 tons. or approximate

HUBBY IS COOK IN AFRICA.
Rhodesian Wives Are the Hunters
and Fishers of the Family.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
OF all the countries in the world,
there is none where the customs are
stranger than in Barotseland. in
northern RhodeSia, Africa. Unlike
many wild nations, BarotSeland
ment. 1t even has a parliament and
chiefs privy council. The former Is
known as the "kotia." and sits every
day, and the latter is called the 'si-
kalu."
In Barotseland there are rigid laws
regarding the birth of children.
Should a woman bear triplets, two
of them must be killed. They are
considered bad luck. The women do
not remain at home housekeeping or
tending the crops. In BarotSeland
the women are the hunters and fish
ers 1t is no unusual sight to see
one of these AmaZons wading in a
stream with large basket in front of
her. She is engaged in procuring the
fish for the family supper. But when
she goes home with her catch and
her husband cooks the fish. the ma
tron of Barotseland sits down in soli-
tary state and eats her supper with
out the companionship of her hus-
band.
The reason fer this is amusing in
it's naiyete. For it is explained In
this way:
Naturally, man is stronger than
a woman, and in order to prevent
any signs of gFeediness, he allows
her to eat by herself Because owing
to his superior strength, he might
be tempted to grab the largest and
choicest pieces of the food before
she had her share.
This possibility is removed by their
dining separately, and therefore re-
moving all temptation.

MACAULAY's PROPHECY.
Foresaw Great Disorder to Follow
Pressure of Poverty.
From the Worlds Work.

About seventy-five years ago. in a
letter to an American correspondent.
Macaulay pictured the lamentable fate
that must inevitably overcome any
nation founded upon the principles or
jefferson. He foresaw the time when
the pressure of poverty would cause a
state of disorder for which no parallel
could be found in history. Then the
Huns Macaniey declared. would arise
and oVerwhelm the United States, as
they had destroyed Rome, the only diff
ference being that the Huns who
wrecked the ancient world came from
without while the Huns who were des-
tined to destroy America would come
from within. A nation founded upon
universal suffrage land representative
institutions and lacking the steadying
influence OF privileged arstocracy'
could logically have no other end.
1t is unfortunate that Macaulay could
not be alive today. He gave the United
States less than two hundred years or
life. The fact now is that the American
government Is almost the one solidly
intrenched political organization in the
world. No one can predict how long
the governments of the European con-
tinent will endure. The destructive
political movements that have almost
brought Europe to -ruination and the
Ultimate influence of which no one can
foresee have made very little effective
headwuy in this country. Bolshevlsm
is limited to a few alien elements and
even socialism polls very few votes and
has few representatives in public life.
The few manifestations Of 'radicalism"
in the west are merely temporary erup-
tions, with temporary and feeting
causes such enterprises have been fea-
lures Of American politics for a hum
dred years.
There is no occasion for undue COM
placency, as we survey the American
-
ground for a sane optimism. The coun-
try was never In q sounder condition
and never better equipped to play q
useful part in the world.
