WHITE COLLAR SLAVES AREpFACING 3z
UNEMPLOYMENT, LEADERS ASSERT
Demand For Male Office Help
Has Fallen Off 30 Per Cent
& With Lower Salaries
By ALEXANDER HERMAN


NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Whitoe
collar slaves are fast willing under
their neekbands-not from too
much work, but the lack Of it.
During the past three months, ac-
cording to the records OF one of the
country's largest employment bu-
reaus, there has been a falling of
| Of 80 per cen3 in the demand FOR
male office help. And the salaries
offered are 20 per cent lest
THE decrease in the demand for
,, female clerks" this report shows,
has been correspondingIy great,
and the salary drop identical.
Gwen the office boy IS feeling
the axe. The demand for his kind
is but 40 per cent of what it was
last year, and the salary paid hun
is subject n drop Of five per cent.
There are more than 3,000,06o
regulars in the white collar army
all over the country; with nearly
half million reserves recruited
from school and college vacation
lists. Usually they have little dill
ficulty filling in as Substitutes
during the summer months. But
this year times are slack and the
going is hard.
Firms are apparently consolidat-
ing their office forces" say employ
ment experts. Little or no exjan-
sion is being undertaken"
Yet, while the demand is de-
creasing, the supply is increasing.
/ ''Not only are the buiness schools
turning out graduates by the thou
sands" says Leonard Bright, for
II years a white-collar slave and
now president of the Bookkeepers,
Stenographers and Accountants
FUnion. But many Of the young
women, who took stenography end
office work, merely as an avocation
until they married, are now remain
ing at their jobs.
/ During the past two years the
number Of such married white-col-
lar workers has increased markedly.
| The reason, of course, is to be
found in the wages of their hus-
bands-too low to maintain the high
standard of living set by most
young people.
Particularly pitiful Is the situa.
ton of the bank clerks, who, as far
as hours are concerned, are proba-
bly, tHe poorest paid of the white
collar class. Some clerks, holding
positions of paying tellers, get as
liCtle as $50 week for their re-
sponsible work!
"But for wages, irrespective of
hours, girl office workers hold Enc
! record-getting as low as $40 a
week in New York, even though

Summer Hints
For Young Mothers
The Child Who
Won't Play

Healthy children love to romp in
summer from early morn until the
last call, and if a youngster mopes
about the house and looks yellow
ish, you may know it isn't well.
Think over the little ones diet.
1t should be watched more careful
ly in summer. Too much heavy or
raw food causes biliousness and in
digestion.
Usually a thorough cleansing
with Liv-o7lax and little better
sense about the food will straight-
en- out the child quickly. Liv-o-lax
is vegetable laxative that works
on the liver, too.
Liv-o-lax is easy to take. Chill

Kentucky. Having only 2OO students to pick from there never had been much chance to get really good eleven. But in this year-1919-we happened to get together a fine lot of material.
 Great Coach
 We had "a great coach, too, in Uncle Charlie" Moran, the old big league baseball player and umpire. He worked on us with the utmost care and intelligence and welded us into a good strong machine.
 But we were something more than a machine. Centre was Presbyterian school and there was a strong religious strain in all it's activities. This ex- tended even to athletics. We never went into football game without prayer.
 Knelt In Prayer Before Game
 Gathered in our dressing room, our athletic director, Chief" Myers, would deliver n short talk to us. He'd remind us that the eyes of the world were on us and that we must do our very best for the honor and glory of the college. Then he'd call on someone in the squad and we'd kneel and invoke divine alu.
 Now some may scoff at that kind of doing, but they'd be all wrong. After this bit of devotion our boys went out with fervor that gave them added strength. We played the game to it's ultimate end.
 After our great showing against Hanover we had hopes of beating h. diana. But, as said before, we were up against redoubtable opponent. And at that time we didn't foresee just how far up the ladder of football fame we were going to be able to climb.
 Developments in the game, which was played Saturday, October 4, at Bloom ington, Ind, spread no rosy rays of hope in our ranks. Indiana, by virtue of place kick, took the lead 8 to 0 and held it down to the last two minutes of play. :,

GATORS KICKED <.
 BY ARMY MULE
Captain Newton Runs 90 Yards For Lone Flor
 ida Count

WEST POINT, N. r., Nov. S.-The print of a Mules hoof was stamped in the hide of Florida Alligator today when the Army eleven defeated the Uni versity of Florida team in the Cadet stadium, K to z. Ten thousand per sons saw a determined eleven from out of the south fight stubborn battle with its service foe only to be crushed be- meath the foot of the Mule after the wheel of fate had twisted the score into a deadlock.
 The Cadet eleven outplayed the out fit from the Everglades during most of the game, but the individual brilliancy of one Edgar Brown, star quarterback, held the Mule at bay until late in the final quarter when Wilson, former Penn State star, dashed AS yards for touch down, which broke the tie and gave the Army team its winning seven point margin.
 It was through the air that the Army gained its first touchdown.
 Gators Tie
 It was in the third period that. the visitors knotted the count. With its back right up to its own goal line fight ing desperately to hold back the charging Army advance, Florida re- ceived a gift from fate when an Army pass floated nOnchantly through the air with its destination uncertain. Captain Newton, chief Gator, out from injuries and inserted into the struggle in the role of substitute, found himself in the path of the ball. Intercepting the oval inside his own ten-yard line, New ton swung wide. of the unbalanced field, flanked the Cadet right side and with the speed of deer, tore down the side line, out-running the speediest of the Army's forwards and crossing the goal line unmolested. He topped this performance by kicking the goal for the extra point and tying the score.
 The brilliant 4S-yard run by Wilson was responsible for the final touchdown by the Army.
 The individual play of Jones was the outstanding feature of the Florida team while Wood, Wilson, Yeomans and Gil more starred for the Army.
 The lineup and summary:

When the 100 was finished it was found that J. c. Broyles had landed the win on the chain and charm. Mir. Broyles won it on the highest number of birds that it has been won on, breaking 93 birds anu with his handicap run the number to 113. Highest score from scratch went to I. NJ.

long forward pass. with Hubbard on the receiving end. The pass was hurled from Chattanooga's 40-yard line and was aimed straight at it's goal posts. Cal proved his agility by hiking down there i'll time to get it.
 There may be other players who could have done what Cal did then. I doubt it. The whole proceeding was copyright stuff, 1 should say. Three Chattanooga men were swarming all around him at the time. The ball was hurled bit high and the only way he cold catch it was to jump for it. Even then he could only reach it with one hand. It was well for us he had hands the size of young hams or he never would have held it.
 Cal Pulls A New Stunt
 He dif though. Moreover, ,lhen he found these three huskies tearing into him and holding him in a position of status quo when he settled down to the ground again he wasn't at any loss Looking around, he saw one of the goal posts a yard away. So what did Gal do but reach over with his free hand, grab it, and, with the other hand still holding the ball high above the heads of the enemy, begin to pull.
 Luckily, that post was a good strong one. The Chattanooga boys pushed. Cal pulled. Something had to give way. The post wouldn't. Neither would Cal. So the Chattanooga fellows did. Cal dragged himself and them over the goal line for another touchdown.
 Vital strategy
 Well, that was interesting football, but no so vital as the strategy the Praying Colonels" worked against Indiana. In our first game of the sea son we had proved that we had strong team, for we had beaten Hanover, 95 to o. But Indiana was a different pro- position. It was a Western conference member and a strong aggregation. On the other hand we had little reputation outside our own neck of the woods in

Mississippi Easy Winner In
 Home Coming Event

PROVINCE FIELD, CLINTON, Miss. Nov. S.-(Speclal) )-Entering the fray with a renewed spirit and with good team work, the Choctaws eel ebrated their annual homecoming day there on Province field this afternoon when they handed the Louisiana Wild cats defeat to the tune of 4S-7. The game was witnessed by crowd esti- mated at 1000 which had come to Clin- ton to visit the college on the event. full occasion.
 The Choctaws registered nineteen first downs as compared with five for the Wildcats of Louisiana. Parks, captain of the Indian tribesmen, only played during the first half, and made gains totaling 216 yards.
 Almost a new team appeared on the field against the Wildcats, and because of the appearance of White and Lewis Wilson on the squad, the hopes are more certain for the Choctaws when they play Mississippi Aggies next Sat urday.

Spring Hill college met and held their heavier antagonists from Mississippi, the Millsaps college Ma jors, to a 20-20 tie this afternoon before crowd estimated at 2,SO0 people. Strange as it may seem, both teams de- served to win the fame, Spring Hill be- cause of its fighting g-never-say-di spirit and its spectacular end runs, and Mill says because of it's far greater weight and line smashing backs who time after time ripped off long gains. McEvoy, Grill, Murphy, Stroecker were the stars for Spring Hill, while Rouse was by far the outstanding star of the visitors.

MclNillan Tells Of Play Which Made
 Centres Praying Colonels Famous
Forward Pass Against In- diana Won Them
 Recognition

"HE famous Centre college foot
 ball team of "Bo" McMillan's
 day, known as the Praying Colonels," won the appellation be- cause they prayed before each game.
 Bill Roper, head coach at Prince ton, said that before he went up to Harvard to see Centre battle the Crimsons, he had supposed the story of the before-game player was prop ably fiction. But just before game time, going into the Kentuckians' dressing room, he came on the whole squad kneeling in divine supplication.
 It gave Bill strange feeling. Outside, bit later, when Centre outplayed Harvard and won a great victory, he couldn't help but feel that the Praying Colonels" had got ten something from their prayer.
 Red" Roberts, famous fullback of the Centre eleven while McMillan was a quarter, is authority for the statement that the team not only had prayer in its dressing room, but also just before the game began on the field the players gathering in a cir cle for the purpose.
 He also said that the emotional fervor of the players was such that they often were in tears before they quit the dressing room for the field.

PRATT CITY AND
 ENSLEY TIE, O-O
Name Of League Changed To
 I. J. C. Soccer Association

Ensley tied Pratt City, 0 to 0 while Wylam was winning handily from Fairfield, to 1, in the games of the Soccer league Saturday. This places Vivian in the lead in the race for the championship, due to the fact that Pratt City, runncrs-up at present. were tied as the leaders won Saturday.
 Announcement was also made by Secretary $. c. Liggins, of the league, that the name of the soccer organiza- ton had been changed from the Ala bama Soccer Football association to the T. C. l. Soccer Football association, due to the large amount of interest being taken in the game by both of ficials and employees of the T. c. I.
 The games Saturday were exceedingly hard fought, and played before large crowds, the attendance at the Enscly field being estimated at 2,000.
 Wylam displayed a fine offense, well directed, to beat Fairfield 4 goals to a single score by the losers. The Wylam forwards were displaying unusual form ill working the ball through their op- ponents defense.
 Pratt-Ensley Hard Fought
 Pratt and Ensley fought furiously through the two halfs of the battle in vain effort tc score, the scoreless deadlock resulting when neither eleven was able to puncture their opponents defense Bishop and Reid were the out standing performers for Ensley when tbis eleven upset the dope in holding Pratt to a draw. Pratt had been ex- pected to win, and the rejuvenated Ensley clan gave them surprise.
 The entire forward line for Pratt displayed excellent form while ToOts Brandon, great little goal keeper for Pratt, saved the day for his team on numerous occasions when he batted the ball out of danger as the Ensley for wards also put over a score.
 The T. c. l. officials have shown considerable interest in soccer since the beginning of tine season, and recent ly, at considerable expense, donated uniforms for all fcur teams in the league and furnished the rlaying equip nent for the games in order to promote the game in the western section of the city. As a result. soccer is now being closely followed by employees of the T. c. l., large number of whom are now taking up the game but before were uninterested.
 The Enslcy team has been recently thoroughly recognized and now bids fair to make determined fight for the league championship. The manager, Arthur Bishop, has an array of soccer players whom he is working together into fine machine, and Ensley now stands good chance at first honors.
