Not more than once in lifetime there comes to every football team a moment when victory must be won, at any cost. Overnight, the Bulldogs of Howard college reached that stage in their career. What was termed q practice game 24 hours ago now looms as of vital importance to the Bulldogs, as the day of the game with Marion dawns.
 When the crimson jersied Bulldogs trot out on Berry field Saturday after noon, a nervous little man will fidget about in his bed at the Baptist hospital. Coach Harris Cope-idolized by the East Lake gridders he has coached for two years-was stricken with pneu |. monia Thursday, and this morning is probably already anxiously awaiting re- turns from the opening game of his charges.
 Victory Good Medicine
 eff the boys will just win for me Saturday, I'll get well in hurry" the little coach stated Friday morning. Ut will feel kinda funny not to be with 'em; guess it does to them too. Say Jenks, call me up the minute the games over, and tell me how it comes out" Coach Cope was talking to JeRks Gil lem, his assistant, who will have charge of the Bulldog squad until Cope is able to leave the hospital.
 It can be seen that the Bulldogs, fac ing Marion, have arrived at that stage in their career when victory must be won, for their little coach-unable tc lend his services in the struggle-has asked if.
 Opening Lineup
 Coach Gillen announced the opening Bulldog game Friday. From end to end, six or seven men are letter men. In the backfield, three more are veter- ans. One reserve and one inexperienced gridder round out the eleven. Upon their shoulders will rest the responsible ity of winning the game from Marion this afternoon.
 Marion, always a bitter foe of the Bulldogs, has brought an unusually heavy team to Birmingham, it is stated. The Cadets arrived Friday night, and put up at local hotel. The general impression gained from the at- titude of the squad was that the Cadets mean business this afternoon.
 The Howard team is something of an unknown quantity as yet. The letter

Legionnaire Finds Home
for Post in IoUd ToUn

American Legionnaire H. II. Stud
ley Of Cumberland, Iowa, plus an idea.
plus the initiative to carry that idea
into effect is the combination respon-
sible for the stability and rapid
growth Of the Cumberland post of
the Legion. Legionnaire Studley who.
when not engaged in doing most of
the towns banking, is busy looking
about for some way to improve the
local American Legion post, observed
the difficulty Of holding a post to-
gether without clubrooms. He looked
about the town ard found a basement
that was large and had the potential
ity of a fine clubroom. He donned
his overalls and after two days hard
labor had the room all painted and
ready for meetings The post now
has rapidly increasing membership,
whereas few weeks ago it was about
to disband.

MORE MISTAKES ARE MADE
IN THE WARM WEATHER

1t is q law of chemistry that chem
acal activity is speeded up by heat
and retarded by cold. So at this time
of year the chemical action of human
bodies probably is increased to such
an extent that waste products pile up
more rapidly than we can absorb
oxygen to destroy them. The effect
of this accumulation of waste is the
same as fatigue; hence, the stirred
feeling" that is common in the sum-
mer; the difficulty of performing
work requiring concentration.
A test of the working efficiency of
the clerical forces of several large
banks in an Eastern city, conducted
recently by well-known scientist,
showed that the number of errors
made in ordinary work was low in
spring, that it increased markedly
during the summer, dropped again
during the fail, and increased again
in winter, though not to the summer
maximum
A somewhat similar test of $500
workers in Connecticut, North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
and of all the students of West Point
and Annapolis was attended by SIM
liar result.
However, person cannot keep his
efficiency at maximum by living and
working in a moderate climate the
year round. Scientific investigation
shows that where there is little
change in temperature from day to
day the quality of work gradually de-
clines.
The human body requires Change,
and q change in the weather, whether
for better or for worse, Invariably liz
found beneficial.

Moscow Sent 1891, 900, 600
to London Before Revolt.

New York.-The $SOOO,00O of gold
SHIPPED from Paris to London during
April was Russian gold, surrendered
to Germany under the Brest-Litovsk
treaty and later taken from Germany
by the allies, according to information
received by the department Of foreign
INFORMATION of the Bankers Trust COM
pany, The $S,000OOO shipment to
England, concerning which there had
been considerable mystery, was under
stood to have been part of $62, 100000
which the allies obtained in pursuance
OF the Versailles treaty.
The gold shipment has brought to
light q chapter of tlSe World war some
parts of which had never been pub
Eshed before and which concerned
Russian gold, according to the trust
company.
Before the war Russia had a gold re-
serve of 1,600,000,000 rubles, or rough
ly $S00,000,000. The problem of financ-
Ing Russia in the war raised serious
questions With England forced to
become the banker of the allied ma
lions prior to Americas entrance, it
was regarded as essential that Russia
ship gold to England in trade for
large munitions credits.
Direct From Russia.
The first shipment consisted of $780,
100000 gold sent direct from Russia
to England under a battleship convoy,
in October, 1914. This method, how
ever, was so dangerous, regardless of
efforts to keep the movements a Sc
cret from Germany, that later more
roundabout routes were chosen, the
most successful being from Petrograd
to VladivOstok, thence to Japan, then
TO Vancouver, and then overland to
Ottawa.
AS the war progressed, Russia's
finances began to break down, but the
need Of sending gold to England as a
basis Of credits multiplied many times.
Public sentiment was so strong against
sending its metal holdings abroad,
however, that Russia consented to do
so only when assured of absolute Sc
crecy. RUSSIA Snlpped needed bal
ances in the autumn of 1915 and more
In 1917. OF these shipments, the
Bankers Trust company information
service says:
'The shipments of gold were made
in the following manner. For $685.
100000 to be delivered under the first
arrangement, $49,000,O00 was shipped
in December, 1915; 100000 in June,
1915; and $97,OOO,OOO in November,
1916. The gold was sent partly to
Japan and partly to Canada.

Tests Indicate High Temper
atures Reduce Efficiency.

New York.-Scientific tests of work
ers in diverse lines of endeavor show
that on the hot and sultry days of
summer your energy, and conse-
quehtly your physical and mental eff
cheney, may be reduced by as much
as 60 per cent, says Donald A. Laird,
PHI. D., associate professor of psy-
chology at Colgate university.
Moreover, when the thermometer
registers 90 degrees or more, you are
about twice as likely to make an err
ror in work requiring concentration
and accuracy as you are on days of
moderate temperature.
Just why summertime is mistake
time has not been determined exactly.
probably it is due in part to discom-
fort. A more tenable explanation,
however, is that the lowered etffcien-
cy is due to the changes in the meta
bolism, or chemical action of the body.

YOUTHFUL LEGION
MAN is HONORED

Oklahoma's youngest Legionnaire is
going to West Point Not content
with claiming the honor of being the
states most youthful Legion member,
Frank Hosch of Gushing, Okla, just
turned twenty-one, will soon enter the
United States Military academy at
West Point to become a future
"Looey" or maybe a general with
"bookoo" stars.
AT fourteen, when boys are general
~ wont to moon over puppy love
notes from little girls in pink dresses,
HoSch enlisted in the United States
navy to fight the Huns. Throughout
the war he served as a loyal "gob,"
but with the signing of the armistice
the young belligerent sought a more
exciting field than the prosaic mari
time duties on board a cruiser in
times of peace. Immediately after
receiving his discharge he signed up
for service with the army in Siberia.
With the return Of the American
troops from Siberia, and with no more
wars on the horizon, the two-time vet
eran journeyed to Gushing there to
begin the hardest fight Of his career
the fight to get an education and
support himself at the same time.
He was handicapped by the years
he had lost in serving his country. but
he had gained much in perseverance
and the power to concentrate on an
objective until 1t was reached. It
mattered not whether that objective
entailed going to school through the
day and studying and working far into
the night, the objective was to be
reached, and SO religiously did he
keep his eye on it that he took double
class work at the Cushing high school
and finished the four-year course in
two years, with honors. Then in adj
dition, to soothe that savage fighting
Breast of his, he took music lessons.
and Is considered an excellent violin
list.
With his diploma under his arm the
fighting Legionnaire declared he
wasn't through with the battle for
education, and that West Point was
his next objective. Cushing Legion
naires helped him over the rough 20
htlcal terrain intervening between the
obscure, parentless boy Of Gushing,
Okla, and an appointment to West
Point, to the end that before many
weeks the new objective was reached
and the appointment to the war col
lege was received.

there.
After completing his work in Maine

nese WarshipS and under Japanese es-
cort. In like manner there was shipped
from Moscow on the eve of the revo-
luton, in February, 1917, in accord
ance with the second agreement, S97,-
OOO,OOO in gold. In consequence of
these shipments and that of 1914 the
RUSSIAN gold stock decreased $751;
100000.
1T will be remembered that the first
delivery in October, 1914, of $4,000, 900
IN gold was an outright purchase of
gold by the British government against
credits for $5S,000,O0O To offset the
loan of the remaining $292O00,OOO,
England delivered to Russia gold ex-
chequer bonds payable in from three
to five years in equal portions without
interest.
1.-The total advances made by the
British government to Russia amount
ed to $2,733, 100000, of which S496, 900

Ghost Slew His Pets

Paterson, N. J.-His belief
that Edward Overlook, g.
spiritualist living at Ill Fair

do his bidding, caused Joseph
Kirwin, who lives next door to
Overlook, to swear out a COM
plant of disorderly conduct
against Overlook when he

dead in the back yard.
Kirwin told Magistrate Mum
son Forde, who heard the COM
plant, that after a spiritualist
seance in Overbrook's home he
heard means in the yard. He
went out and saw a ghost, he
said, in the shape of man en-
veloped in gray cloud. Then
he heard his dog bark and his
cat meow.
The magistrate, in dismissing
the charge, said that he did not
feel there was sufficient evil
dence to prove that Overlook
was responsible for the ghost.
