Some football players are born,
others are made. Red" Grange
belongs to the born class. He was
a star in high school, AS a fresh
man at Illinois he ran wild on the
varsity. In his sophomore year he
was the sensation of the Big Ten.
AS a senior he is the worlds out
standing football player.
Grange has that indetinabe thing
-poise. II sticks out in everything
he does. He has the speed Of Il
sprint champion and with il grace
and cunning. He seems able TO
twist and bend his body in any di-
roction. A slight wiggle OF the
hips and a would-bo tackler who
has left his feet to bring Grange
down with a thud misses him q foot.
Grange runs as easy to right or
left. Reversing the field is one of
his favorite stunts. AS he runs he
uses a stiff arm that wards off any
one who seems dangerous.
In the picture We have Grange
running at an angle that would be
4 physical impossibility with the Or
binary athlete.
Chicago Nov. 20 tP)-"Rcd"
Grange, whose collegiate football
career ends in the Illinois Ohio
State game Saturday, has gained two
miles in yardage and made 81
touchdowns in 10 games.
Statistically inclined experts have
compiled the numerical record of
his achievements, which they think
set a record for all time.
During the three years in which

tacklers Grange has been unable to
score only four times.
Against Michigan in 1924. Grange
reached his greatest heights, when
he returned the opening kick off IS
yards for a touchdown and added
four more touChdowns. He gained
4O2 yards in this game.

POOR EYES|GHT
COMMON IN
SCHOOLS
Special Glasses for Pupils
with Defective Vision
Urged
By International News Service.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Feb. "a
There is urgent need in our public
schools for twenty-five times as
many sight-saving classes special
classes for children with seriously
defective vision-as now exist, de-
clared Lewis H. Carrfs, managing
director Of the National Committee
for the Prevention of Blindness, in
an address before a conference or
school superintendent from all Sec
tions Of the United States held here
today under the auspices of the
National Education Association.
There are at present, Mr.. Carris
said, approximately 200 sight-saving
classes scattered about the country,
whereas approximately 5000 such
classes are needed.
"There are in the United States, :"
Mr.. Carris said, ''at least $4,000
children with such seriously defec-
tive vision that they are unable to
keep up with the work Of normally
sighted children. In most COM
munities one of three things Is hap
pening to these unfortunate chill
dren:
"They must attend school with
normally sighted children. thereby
further endangering what little
sight they have and at the same
time bearing the stigma Of ounces; !;
or they are kept out of school
altogether and are thereby de-
prived of an education: or they are
sent to schools for the blind where,
because Of their partial sight, they
are frequently used as eyes for the
entire school with harmful psyche
logical effects on themselves as
well as on the blind children"
Among other important points
brought out by Mr.. Carris were:
First-That approximately 12h
per cent of the school children Of
the United States have defective
vision to a degree which consti-
tutes an educational handicap.
Second-That vision tests should
be made a part Of the regular
physical examinations of school
children rather than separate
undertaking on special conserva-
ton Of vision days.
Third-That these examinations
should include an inspection for
possible eye diseases which, If neg
lected, so often lead to blindness.
Fourth-That an adequate State
law is advocated to promote eye
examinations in public schools.

MISCONDUCT IS
!. LAID TO MATE
IN SUIT
Mrs. Elizabeth L. Johnson
Names Correspondent, AK
ing, Divorce and AIimony

Misconduct is alleged in a suit,
filed in the District Supreme Court
today by Elizabeth L. Johnson,
119 M street southeast, against
Claude B. Johnson, for absolute
divorce and alimony. The plain
tiff, represented by Attorney James
T. Crouch, names correspondent.
Mrs. johnson says that they
were married at Ballston, Va, Feb
ruary 8, 1917, and have three chill
dren. Beginning January 1. 1921,
she says, the defendant began to
stay away from their home even
ings. She alleges his excuse was
that he had not finished his days
work as a meter inspector for the
Washington Gas Light Company,
and that he had to go back and
finish up.
Mrs. johnson says she believed
her husband until she found out diff.
ferently. The plaintiff claims that
when March 80 1921, she learned the
truth and told him, he took the
broom, with which she was sweeping
the floor, she charges, and struck
her over the head. She says she be-
came frightened and ran out OF the
house.
Mrs. johnson claims that her hus-
band frequently takes his daughter
riding in his machine with the other
woman. Mrs. johnson claims her
husband took away all the furniture.
They have three children and de-
fendant earns about $50 a week, she
saws.

LEAGUES
FOR NATIONS
URGED
One Each for Asia, Europe,
and America, Prince on
Visit Here Proposes

Formation OF three leagues OF
nations, one in Asia, second In
Europe and a third in the Americas,
was advocated today by Prince
Habfb Lotfallah, Arabian minister
at Rome. who is in Washington for
a two weeks visit.
Prince Lotfallah declared in an
interview that the Asian league OF
nations is already in process OF or
ganization and that he expects this
body to be succeeded by similar
leagues in Europe and America. A
high commission, Prince Lotfallah
declared, composed of members OF
the three leagues, would do away
with the present idea OF a universal
tribune.
"It is useless to talk Of abolishing
wars until we have such a system
of international relations" he said.
Mankind is not yet ready to be
guided by the decisions Of one
league. A world organization OF
this sort would always be a Tower
Of Babel where the nations would
be forever at variance"
The Asian league, Prince Lot
fallah declared. is Abeing worked
out in the beginning as a confed-
Grafton of all the Arabian states.
"By Arabia" he said, IT mean
all the Semitic countries between
Egypt, Persia and Turkey"
Prince Lotfallah, who represents
the Hedjaz at Rome and at Mos
COW, is a lineal descendant Of the
Prince of Antioch, who ruled over
Syria more than 1000 years ago.
His family home today is the
Ghezireh palace in Cairo, built by
Khedive Ismail to entertain Egypt's
distinguished guests during the
opening of the Suez Canal.
During the Balkan war in 1917
he served as an inspector Of the
Red Cross and the following year
was Turkish attache at London.
In 1914 he returned to Syria and
became adjutant to the Turkish
governor general.
Last night Prince Lotfallah was
the guest Of honor at a dinner
given at the Wardman Park Hotel
by Senator Royal S. Copeland, Of
New York

There is no reason why any

those two children announced they
intended marrying. They're so
young-Dorothy is nineteen and
Chick Is only twenty-one."

MUSCLE SHOALS
BILL HOPES
FADING
Sent Back to the House, Ad-
ninistration Senators Be-
IieVe It Is Doomed

With chances for its passage
dwindling, the Administration to-
day began it's last fight to save
the Underwood Muscle Shoals bill.
The measure admittedly 10 IN a
precarious position as result OF
the Senate's action in ordering 1t
returned to conference.
The Administrations chief hope
was that the original Senate bill
woul1 be accepted en- toto by the
House. thus avoiding the danger
of further differences between the
two sides of the Capitol.
A move to have the House adopt
the Senate bill was expected today.
Whatever tactics are employed
by the Administration, opponents
Of the measure now admittedly are
in the strategic position. Even
though the House conferees agreed
to the Senate bill, and the lower
chamber later accepted it, the con-
ference report again must come be"
fore the Senate. There, handful OF
Progressives and Southern Demo-
Gratis are prepared to discuss it at
great length"
But seven and a half days re-
main OF the session. In that time,
almost any kind of a filibuster
might block the Underwood bill be-
cause Of the legislative jam, par
ticularly in the Senate, which has
not yet finally disposed Of all ap-
preparation bills. Staunchest friends
of the measure admit there would
be little hope for it should fill
buster be launched at the last min
ute.
Conferees met today to comply
with the Senate's order that new
legislation" must be eliminated from
the conference report.

counselled his remaining in bed
several more days as a precaution
against a relapse. 1t was decided
that no bulletin of his condition
was necessary today and it is not
likely that further bulletins will be
issued, unless his condition should
again become serious.
His departure for the south of
France, there to escape England 8
winter and speed MS recovery from
influenza, probably will be made
within ten days. Queen Mary will
not accompany him aboard the
royal yacht as she rs a poor sailor.
but will make the trip over land

yacht will pick up the royal family
for a Mediterranean cruise.
March 8 has been set as the ten

One physician will accompany him.
The Prince of Wales is scheduled

ma tority of members of the House
