GEORGIA SETS PACE

Georgia Bull Dogs are atop the heap
| in the southern conference foot ball
race-at lease for this week. The grid
| card for next Saturday contains suffi-
cfent uncertainty to inject a big If in

Georgia took the lead Saturday
with victory over Virginia giving

as many starts. Washington and Lee
comes next with two wins in that
many starts. While the Generals grap-
pie with the luckless South Caro-

vived Commodores annihilated Ten

the Bull Dogs. who earlier in the
season experienced some difficulty in
subduing Tennessee.
Two free-swinging elevens from
Virginia-Military and Poly Institutes
threaten further complications in
their games with Tennessee and Vfr-
ginia respectively. At present these
contenders are just under the perfect
score mark with averages of $50 for
four games. Victories for them-re-
garded as likely due to weakened op-
position-will throw them into the
van should there be upsets among
other leaders.
Kentucky's Wild Cats come to At
lanta next Saturday handicapped by
zero standing and a tie in two games
to battle Tech. which now boasts a
victory and two knotted counts and
no losses. Tech is confident of add
ing another victory in this fray.
Tulane, beaten twice and with
tie with Auburn, threatens to push
Old Miss. deeper into the cellar. where
Mississippi has registered two losses
and no victories.
Maryland, with a zest added by her
almost successful tussle with Yale,
faces a weakened foe in North Caro-

with its two victories and draw

it had, covered with yarn and
enveloped outwardly with leather.
This was better than the ball of
lS42, which was made OF yarn.
Between these there came a
larger ball, covered with sheep

some unknown shoemaker. You'll
see how a blacksmith gave some
other specifications later on.

YOUTH NOT GOLDEN SEASON
ers Who Have Dubbed 1t the Best
Period of Life.

Following is from THE Way of All
FLESH" by Samuel Butler-not the
Seventeenth century poet, but the
Nineteenth century novelist:
ITO me it seems that youth Is like
spring, an overpraised season-delight-
full if it happen to be favored one,
but in practice very rarely favored
and more remarkable, as a general
rule, for biting east winds than geni-
al breezes. Autumn is the mellower
season, and what we lose in flowers
we more than gain In fruits. FOntelle,
at the age of ninety, being asked what
was the happiest time of his life, said
he did not know that he had ever been
much happier than he-then was, but
that perhaps his best years had been
those when he was between fifty-five
and seventy-fve, and DR.. Johnson
placed the pleasures of old age far
higher than those of youth. True, In
old age we live under the shadow of
death, which, like sword of Damocles.
may descend at any moment, but we
have so long found life to be an affair
of being rather frightened than hurt,
that we have become like the people
who live under Vesuvius, and chance
it without much misgiving."

Old Krook.

Krook is the name OF rather prom
inent but most uncanny character in
Dickens novel, "Bleak House," which
has much to do with the then diiatory
procedure of the Court of Chancery.
The system. Dickens describes ceased
to exist many years.
Krook is the proprietor of rag and
bone warehouse, where everything
seems to be bought and nothing sold.
He is grasping drunkard, who even
tually dies of spontaneous combustion,
that is, he is SO saturated with liquor
that he takes fire and Is consumed
In a note to this chapter of BLEAK
House" Dickens cites a case of spon-
taneous combustion that took place
in Paris, France, and which, he said,
was well verified by medical authority.
1t was probably from that case that
Dickens obtained the idea which he
made use of In describing Krook's won
derful death.

ANOTHER NATIONAL BLOT.

: THE homicide rate per 100,
900 population in 20 cities Of
Sthe United States with an
aggregate of 20, $3.50
people is increasing according
TO the table of figures publish
ed in the American City Mag
azine for January. The rate
. for 1921 was 9. 8. That means
that if the same ratio holds
good for the entire country,
our annual number of murders
exceeds 10, 900. The New
York Evening Post describes
the total as shocking compar-
ed with the best European
countries. England and Wales
average eighty to ninety
murders year for a popula-
ton of about forty millions;
Memphis, Tenn, averages 60.
to 70 for every hundred
thousand inhabitants.
The readiness with which
punishment is evaded in
America and the fact that we
make it easy for the most
dangerous men to get deadly |
weapons, and difficult for the
hangman to lay his hands on
even those most clearly guilty !
OF murder, are the reasons
given for this condition.
Effective remedies, we are
told, lie in a stronger social
insistance upon discipline and
order, a strengthening of the
police, and a reform of the
criminal court procedure.

Early Canadian Instruction.

In the latter part Of 1887 there was
an insurrection in Canada. A portion
of the people, dissatisfied with the
British government, broke out in re-
volt, and attempted to establish their
Independence.
The insurgents found much sympa
thy and encouragement In the United
States. Seven hundred men from New
York seized and fortified Navy island,
in the Niagara river. The loyalists of
Canada attempted to capture the place,
but failed. They succeeded however,
in firing the Caroline, the supply ship
of the adventures, cut her moorlngs
and sent the burning vessel over Nj

HOW SOUND IS TRANSMITTED
Vibration Of the Air Brings It to the
Ear-TraveIs Faster in Summer
Than In Winter.

Sound Is transmitted to the ear
by the vibration of the air. When
one particle of air is made to vibrate
1t sets the adjacent particles to vi
brating, and so a sound wave, if not
obstructed, passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu-
lated velocity of sound in the air
when the temperature is at freezing
point is 915.69 feet per second When
the temperature increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate has been
calculated at little more than one
foot per second for each degree of
rise in Fahrenheit's thermometer.
Contrary to popular belief, sound
travels faster in summer than in
winter, and In warm than In cold
climates. 1t might be thought that
sound would travel more slowly
through a dense atmosphere, but the
elasticity increases as rapidly as the
density, and, therefore, the velocity
of sound is not affected by varying
density. The velocity of sound In
water, when at the greatest density, Is
4,IOI.4 feet per second. The expert
ments by which this velocity was de-
termined were made by NJ Callaodin,
in 1926, across the Lake of Geneva,
from Role to Thonon, distance Of |
about nine miles. Water, therefore |
sound four times as fast as |
lir does.
