ONE-PIECE GRID SUIT
Invented BY DELAND

When Lorin f. Deland introduced
Harvard's famous flying wedge. de-
Scribed in the accompanying inter-
view with Percy D. Haughton, he not
only gave to foot ball the revolu-
tionary strategy known as flying in
reference, but sounded the knell of
a practice that had been standard
for years. This was the evasion of
the rules at the kick off, when, in
stead of booting the ball into enemy
territory, the kickoff man merely
touched it with his foot, so that his
team retained possession as the
charge was made.
The flying wedge soon produced
Legislation which made a genuine
kick off compulsory and which out
lawed the V formation that made the
flying wedge possible.
This Legislation placed seven men
in the line of scrimmage. Deland
then devised slant and straight tan
dem formations in the backfeld.
which were used in mass plays on
tackle and on end. With variations,
these are sin in use.
He also introduced the practice,
later made Illegal, of linemen lock
ing their legs on defense. This was
done to prevent the enemy getting
through and breaking up the tandem
formations before they could be
started
Another curious stunt of Deland's
was contrivinE the one piece leather
suits. with which he equipped the
Crimson team in 1893. 1t was
thought. and correctly, that these
would increase the difficulty of
tackling Harvard players.
Others teams soon adopted the
suit. One day, according to news
tered game with his leather garb
smeared with lard. He was as slip
perry as a creased pig. Then APP
peared the curious rule, which for
years remained in the book, for
bidding the greasing of gridiror
clothing.

HOOVER SAYS WHEAT
PRICE RAISE NATURAL
Declares Short Crop and European
Demands Make Increase
Necessary.

Recent statements that the very
substantial rise in the price of wheat
is due to artificial causes We're de-
clared by Secretary Hoover yesterday
to have no foundation in fact.
Two things have underlain this
advance" the Secretary said in Il
formal statement. First, there are
1900. 600 bushels less of wheat in the
world from this crop than that, OF
last year second the increased sta
hility given to Europe by the re- eut
settlement brought about through
activities of the administration ha e
Increased the buying power and out
look for consumption.
The practical effect of all this IS
shown by the fact that our exports
of 35,000,0o0 bushels in the last six
weeks shows SuhStantial in Te'."H
over last year. There is every rei-
son to believe that these exports will
be malntained.
Prices would probably have gone
to higher leyelS had il not been that
the farmer has crowded the market
by sending in over 40 .oah. eco bushels
of This crop against SS.0C0 600 bushels
for the same period la 4. This
is no doubt due to his neIe;Si'ie but
it has probably brought about lower
prices than would otherwise have
been the case.

why Gum Chewing is a GOOD rbInu.

Why Gum Chewing Is a Good Thing
J That the chewing Of gum is not th'
\ pernicious habit 1t was once consider
ed seems to be q growing opinion
among dentists who have given ths
matter careful study. Some eminent
members of the profession even 90
| 30 far as to say that under certain
conditions it is actually very bene-
/ fetal thing, particularly for children,
Only when the teeth are in their
| proper position with each of them
| performing its functions as nature in
tended can child develop perfectly
and attain the highest standard OF
beauty that is inherent to his type.
One tooth slightly out of its natural
place is sufficient to spoil face which
might otherwise show the most har-
monious lines These defects can
never be remedied if the child is fed
on hash, croquettes and. other pre-
digested food. What he must have
is something more solid which will
give the muscles of his jaws sufficient
exercise and thus force the teeth into
their right places.
Many dentists are advising parents
OF children whose faces are too mar
row and whose jaws are not sufficient
ly developed to make them chew gum.
The constant exercise has a tendency
to widen an otherwise narrow Jaw
and thus make room for teeth that
show evidence of crowding each other
out of place. Chewing gum steadily
for three or four hours a day has most
desirable results in changing the
dwarfed formation Of q child's jaw.
Even when there Is no defect of
the teeth or jaw to be corrected, gum
chewing is beneficial because it exer-
cises the muscles of mastieation,
thereby improving the digestion and
the consequent nourishment One
reason why so many people ruin their
health by rapid eating is that as child
rem their jaw muscles never received
enough exercise
It is quite generally agreed that
provided the gum used is pure ard
wholesome, it cannot possibly do
harm either to a child Or an adult.
And in many cases it may accomplish
great good not only in developing the
muscles Of mastieation and aiding di-
gestion, but also in keeping the teeth
clean and white When a child's
gums are tender and easily irritated
by the tooth brush, gum chewing be-
comes almost a necessity.

surveyors who have lately completed
the location OF the boundary have
found that the astronomical parallel
varies from direct circle around the

the curious fact that the line instead
of being straight. Is at one point 800
feet south of the direct circle, AID
at another place 500 feet north. II
was decided that the astronomical
where the pole is Al degrees from the

dairy. This decision was followed.
but local attraction in some places
defects the plumb line and therefore

savaoe,s Love Of Medicine.

Mrs. 2. Rowling, medical mission
airy at Gayaza, Uganda. tells many
stories In the Strand Magazine about
her patients and their implicit faith
in the skill and knowledge of the
white medicine-woman." What she
has to say on the matter is as anus
ing as It is interesting and instruct
i've, and serves to illustrate a curious
trait Of the savage nina that mas
been commented upon by travellers in
practically all parts Of the world
namely, the keen delight which ua-
tiye~ take in sampling the white
mans drugs. It matters not whether
the subject be we'll or Ill, or whether
the medicine be palatRble or nauseous
medicine they must, have 1t If it Is
to be obtained.
''The native patients" writes Mrs.
Rowling. "are most amusing In the
implicit faith they have in the musao'
tdoctor), as they call Miss Polgrim,
the dispenser here. Anything she
likes to give them they take but
many of them cannot yet see how a
pain in the head can be cured by
swallowing a pill, and would much
prefer to rub the pill on the place
affected. One day we visited a
woman with a bad pain in her ear.
We gave her two pills to swallow,
but instead of doing SO she proceed
ed to drop them into her ear. An
other tried to put her medicine up
her nostrils!"
