ADVISES FACULTY
 CONTROL OF SPORTS
Belief Is That This Would Prevent
 Abuse Of Privileges

New York. March l4.--placing the control Of athletic policies and prac- ticcs entirely in tine hands or the
 president ana faculty of q college to- gether with conscientious effort on the part of each institution to climir- ate abuses within it's own walls. would dissipate many of the evils charged against intercoIegiat" athletics, in the opinion of a committee of the as- sociation Of Colleges and Secondary schools of the southern states.
 The data gathered by this comm.t- tee in it's investigation of intercolIe- giatc athletics lies one of the gravest versailles of the south was summarized by Dr. Henry $. pritchett. president of the Carnegie Foundation. in his an- ual report made public today. Ttfe in VeStigltion vas condutced through q tinancia! grant made to the assCcia- ton by the foundation.
 "Th" committee believes" said Dr. Pritchctts summary. that in the great and growing cost of intercolio- giate athletics lies on ot the graNcst abuses, because il oNercNaggeratcs in the mind of the student thc re atire importance Of athletics in the general scheme of college work
 Prices for admission are raised as high as possible. Football shows the largest profit, Head coaches in foot ball receive on an average in twenty six colleges sS,o0o q year. One man was pais S1.o00 for the season. The inference from these uni other facts is that the athletic coach, and in par ticuar the football coach sets the standard for tn" whole syst, m of in- tercollegiatc sport, and is responsible for many of its most demoralizi features.
 "Othcr abuses include ringers who often are special students: scouting which 70 or the colle srs have con dcmncd: unhealthy rivalry; ovcr~rm. phasis on training: too much news paper publicity; gambling and brt- ting. and too great an insistcnce on turning out Il winning ,"am."
 The committee concluded. nr. prt- chctt pointed out, that there appeared to be healthier condition in a'hlct- 'Ns i' ''l' SobNl ludl the report n1u indicated.

OPTION BILL is INTRODUCED
Gives People of Great Britain's
Boroughs and Counties Voice
In Liquor Issue

Introduced by the Lord Bishop of Ok
ford, there is bill before the British par
lament which gives to the people of Dor
oughs and counties the authority of de-
Gliding periodically whether they will have
no change in the conduct of the liquor
traffic i'll their area, or, second, whether
the traffic is to be reorganized, or
whether, third, all licenses are to be
abolished.
Electors, by means of the alternative
vote, may vote pTeferentially in favor of
once choice and alternatively in favor of
a second one. If an area votes for the
reorganization of the traffic central
body-the board of management-ap-
pointed with the approval of and dis
nissible by parliament, takes over the
liquor traffic in the area concerned, in a
sort of government control plan.
The board of management will not be
a licensing authority, but will be limited
to the production and distribution of liq-
uors subject to the supervision of the
justices and of central advisory COM
mittee, on which temperance bodies and
private liquor sellers will be represented
central compensation fund also is to
be created to pay for such business as
goes out when areas vote for no license
or reorganization.

WET TELLS TRUTH HERE
Booze Publicist Says McAdoo is
Too Dry to Suit Liquor Folks:
It's a Fact

Occasionally a wet propaganda tells
the truth. Here is John T. Flood who
seems to be in charge of booze publicity
in connection with the Democratic ma
t.onal convention incidentally, his name
seems peculiarly appropriate to his activ-
tiles. Flood says the vets will not be
satisfied to have McAdoo for candidate
because he is dry. Here is the word pic
ture of the candidate which will meet wet
specifications, according to Flood:
This association is non-partsan.
We are wet body and we do not
care who the candidate for office is,
what party he belongs to, his color
or condition in life. Any wet Demo-
crat at the convention will look as
good to us as any other. Our ulti-
mate object is to have the Eighteenth
Amendment wiped off the Constitu-
ton, and the modification of the law
is step toward that end
This is frank statement The only
qualification in the presidential candidate
is that he must be wet Other things do
not count. Then too, there is the hon
est statement that the wet goal is the re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment and
any modification of the dry law will be
considered step toward that end Mr..
Flood is said to be a member of the inner
circle of the Association Against the Pro-
hibtion Amendment.

ABOLITION OF THE SALOON
HELD TO BE AID TO ORPHANS
President of Augustana Synod Cites
Cases in Opening Address
Chicago Daily News)

DeKalb, ILL.,, june 13.-The passing of
the American saloon has already produced
a marked effect upon the social life of the
nation, said DR.. A. C. Brandelle of Rock
Island, president of the Lutheran Angus
tana synod, in the report of the sixty
fifth annual convention of that body
here today.
Despite periods of financial depres-
sion," declared Mr.. Rrandelle, there is
no poverty like the poverty of genera
ton ago."
AS result of this condition, he as
serted, the Lutheran church has found it
necessary to make radical changes in its
policy of caring for orphans. While it
was difficult generations ago to care for
all the parentless children that were left
as charges of the church, the Augustana
synod, which controls eleven orphanages
in various parts of the country, is now
able to find good homes for nearly all or
phaned children, and is rapidly convert
ing its orphan asylums into temporary
receiving homes.

EAGLES DEFEAT Wet CARD
State Convention Refuses to Go Oh
Record as Favoring Modification
of Prohibition Law

The Ohio state convention of Eagles
was held in Toledo last week The Eagles
are not noted for their devotion to the
prohibition law. In old saloon days it
was said that if somebody stuck his head
into an Eagle lodge room and yelled,
"Your saloon is on fire." there would
have been stampede for the door Well,
the state convention of these birds was
held in Toledo last week and an effort
was made to commit the convention to
modification of the prohibition law so that
wine and beer could be legalzed The
state convention turned down this wet
proposal The Ohio convention of Eagles
is to be congratulated upon declining to
secede from the Union.

GROVE AIMS TO PUT END TO
BOOTLEGCING
Cites Practical Examples of Law
Enforcement in Reducing
Other Crimes
Chicago Daily News)

Some practical examples of the effects
of law enforcement were described by
states attorney, Robert E. Grove, before
luncheon of University of Michigan
alumni at the Hamilton club today. He
predicted that bootlegging would be
largely broken up by the same methods.
He said that in the four years from
1916 to 1920, 4,461 persons were con-
victed in Cook county criminal court,
while in the last three years convictions
totaled 1924; signalized by an average
crime reduction of 43 per cent.
"It may be of interest to know" said
Mr.. Grove, "that in the first three years
of the present administration 237 women
have been convicted in criminal court.
