EDUCATION HAS HELPED
MAKE FOOTBALL GREAT

The American public began TO set
interested in football Just az soon
as they learned what Il was all
about. There was time In the
history Of the game when the rules
were changed 20 often that ,the
code was sort OF secret 70 the
rule makers. They changed tne
method Of scoring 80 often that
coaches became confused and didn't
know whether their teams were lead
ing or trolling.
Then the football doctors finally
got together and agreed. From
that moment interest In football Ee-
gan to grow and now It has be-
come such D monumental college
institution that the critics wart the
gate receipts placed under the d.
rect charge Of the officials OF the
United States Treasury.

OLD PARIS PRISON
 TO BECOME MUSEUM
Students May Trace Evolution of
 Crime and Justice

Paris. April 11.-The old "Concicr- gerie,' the medieval prison on the 1s- land of the city in the heart of Paris, will be transformed into a Museum Of Justice and Police," where chil- drcn of the primary and high schools, may come to study the evolution of the methods Of detecting crime and administering justice through the ages.
 The. sombre walls Of the prison, with it's dark dungeons, still contain all the instruments of torture in use during feudal times to extract con- fessions from men charged with crimes or misdemca nors. Documents showing the plots. counter plots and intrigues of the Renaissance. and the uprising and violence of the nation during the revolution have been pre- served in its cellars.
 X bill has been introduced in the Chamber Of Deputies hy NJ. Potitican. requesting the goyernm :nt, in view Of the great crlme wave nCN sweeping France, mu,d dcrs. acts 1f violence and thefts, 10 gather these hist storical relics into museum, so as 10 instill into the minds Of youth a sa,ubrious fear and horror of crime.
 All the political uphoa,als and re- ligious wars Of the last thousand years have contributed 10 the history of and left their mark npon tho old prison. Originally it formed part Of the palaces of the kings Of France.

SPITZVERGEN COAL MINES TO MEET NORWAYS NEEDS
Government Has Already Granted Rights 10 Several Companies to
 Operate Govt. Owned Fields.

Christiana, April 1.-EXploitation of the coal fields of Spitzbergen, which have never been more than scratched, will be started at once. The Norwegian government acquired the land by the terms of the recently published Spitzbergen treaty, and has already granted rights 10 several com- panics to carry on mining operations. The annual output will be sufficient to fill the requirements of Norwegian consumers and will leave a surplus for eXportations, it is estimated.
 Under draft bill which has been introduced in the legislature, citizens Of all states which have ratified or as sented to the Spitzbergen treaty, are entitled 10 acquire and exploit coal and other mines in Spitzbergen. The bill also provides that a duty not ey- ceeding one per cent may be assessed on mineral products and contains oth- CT regulations regarding mining. trad ing and political administration of Spitzbergen, all of which are designed to bring in operators who would de- Velop the mines.
 A Norwegian company has been formed which will begin operations this summer. It expects 10 employ coo men and to produce S00,o00 tons Of coal a year.

 The Aliantics Gold Wall"
 "This cold wall off the tail Of the Grand Ranks, is just as definite a phenomenon of oceanography as a geological fault is in the carth's crust As the Gulf stream swings up around the Grand Banks and is met at an obtuse angle by currents of Arctic waters. there sometimes is a differ cnce of temperature of 20 degrees within a ships length. extending o50 fathoms below the surface, and a sharp contrast in color.
