ing colors in the New Haven bowl
When at his best no back in foot
ball can shade Wilson in all
around playing. We have witnessed
him in many battles.
He has never allowed q rival to
O1tShine him. He Is the big stick
that McEwan believes he is going
to down the Ellis with tomorrow.
A number Of plays have been put
into the ArnIy's Offense In the
hope Of shaking him loose. The
Bulldogs will. have to keep their
eyes ON this blonde lad or else
they viii find themselves in hot
water during the afternoon.
Gilmore, Woods and Hewitt are
fine line plungers. Gilmore has
improved considerably since last
year He Is q fast, strong back
and can take lot of punishment
Hewitt, former Pittsburgh star, is
plunEtug in his old-fashioned way
When Tiny Hewitt takes the ball
he generally makes his distance
through q rushline. His only draw
back is in his inability to skirt an
end. McEwan has been playing
him No. Il back. This allows him
/ TO take a. crack at the opposing
tackle.
Wood is one Of the best fuIlbacks
In the game. He is also one of the
| strongest in physical strength that
West Point has had in years. He
caused much worrilment to Notre
Dame at the Polo Grounds.
His kicking is about as nifty as
one can witness on gridiron. In
this respect the Army holds a de
cided advantage over their Blue
rivals. Yale has no toe artist that
can match against Wood.
The Eli rush inc is bigger and
more experienced than the lads
that Tad Jones viii send into TIE
game to oppose them. Mack Is a
fine tackle. He played part of last
years contest. Farwick and ElIin
ger are two capable guards.
Captain Ed Garbisch, at center
IL the best pivot in the East, Il
not in the entire country. He is 8
clean player, but when ,he hits he
drives with. a force that Ilwayl
brings his opponent down. His sec
Ondary defense work is one Of the
brilliant spots to his teams play
, ing.
At the ends Dick Luman and
Bingham look to have a little on
their Army rivals. Luman is onC
Of the best extremity guardians IL
the country. He. is a deadly tack
Ter and has abundance Of speed
What is more he is capable

Smoke Masks Would Have Done thC
Trick
(Bv D. S. Withee)


l make mistakes, sometimes, and |
know other people do. Now and then
] think | see where our town goes
wrong, too.
Other fire departments are equipped
with smoke masks. We have cou-
pie over at the station on the Island.
They never were of any service. There
are masks. however, that offer Won
derful protection. There is a kind
called an Oxygen Smoke Mask that
will enable a fellow to go right into
the thickest smoke and work for ff-
teen or twenty minutes. II they
could have had a couple of them at
the oxford fire. they could have
found where the trouble was and put
it out in thirty minutes, using very
much less water, and undoubtedly
preventing the fire from getting out
side the Bucknam basement. The
figures are easy. The damage was
perhaps $4,000. OF course there
would have been some smoke damage
anyway, but the masks would have
saved something like $4,000. They
cost about SIS apiece There ism t
a year but that they would pay for
themselves ten times over.
There is another consideration
about it; that is the possibility of
saving life. We are likely to strike
a fire anytime when we will have to
go into the smoke to bring somebody.
out The masks might make the diff
ference between life and death.

Dunnack's manual OF Maine Govern
mento

Henry E. Dunnack. our State LIB
rarian, has produced one or two vol
umes of decided interest and value
to every citizen of Maine. His Man
ual OF Maine Government" is precise
ly the volume which should be read
and studied by everyone who wishes
TO discharge the important duties of
citizenship effectively. The work is
not formidable as TO size. There are
but 144 pages In this comparatively
limited compass, however, Is contain
ed a vast amount of material which
otherwise is available only by search
ing through endless volumes of law
and literature.
Mr.. Dunnack's knowledge of Maine S
affairs and his splendid ability in all
literary matters has permitted him TO
make this concentration without sac
rifcing style and interest. Most
such works, when reduced to similar
limits, become dry and uninteresting
tabular matter. The completeness
with which the author in this case
has escaped that result, is remark
able.
Most of Us desire to be good citl-
zens. but the tendency of the age is
to achieve this result without sacri-
fee of time and without undue effort
One may readily absorb from thil
little volume knowledge sufficient tC
become statesman and it may be
done at leisure moments if preferred
The above will be of special inter
est by reason of the fact that Mr.
Dunnack is to speak before Skowhe-
gan Sorosis and its guests on Monday
evening, February 25th.

The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1924-04-16
Stop, Look, Listen!
(EDITORIAL)

T>HE city council has taken up with some serious
ness the recent proposal of The Star to appoint
commission to look the Skagit hydro-electric
project. The council would like to know what has
already been done aand what should be done in the
future. And it is proposed to have commission of
three engineers undertake the job.
The Star at the outset expressed the opinion that
better results could be obtained by naming COM
mission to consist of one engineer, one accountant
and one business man. 1t still holds to that opinion
But if the council is ready to spend the money
and it will take good bit of money--to employ three
competent engineers, it should bear in mind that great
care must be taken in selecting this commission.
Otherwise the result will be greater confusion longer
delay and a greater investment load
Engineers accustomed to looking at such matters
from the viewpoint of private ownership those
whose past services have been with and whose future
employment depends private interests will hardly
be able to give municipal ownership impartial
hearing and an unbiased opinion. All Of us can see
best thru glasses we are accustomed to.
No doubt there will be demand for local engineer
on this commission. Local pride is fine thing, but,
like many fine things, it often goes astray. The
local engineers are honestly divided into two camps
for and against public ownership. And the average
man can more easily see thru mountain than he can
see clearly beyond his own preudices.
It would be wiser to go out of town for the mem
hers of this commission. But in doing So men Of
proved ability undoubted integrity and intelligent
sympathy with municipal ownership should be chosen.
If this be done, nothing impossible will be recon-
mended nor will any Encouragement be offered to
those who are patiently waiting for Skagit power in
Seattle And it will be possible to get the worth Of
the money to be expended.
