days game did the Huskies show their
real strength on account of the wet
field. The little open field work that
was tried was highly successful, as
two out of the three attempted passes
were completed, and the ends we're
run several times. Livingstone was
a worthy opponent and the defense
was fine but they could do nothing
against the line plays Of the K. G..
backs. The players Of both teams
showed training not only in the
science of bootball but in the science
of being gentleman. The Huskies
have coach who is a real gentleman
and a man who has the power Of
leadership. The boys appreciate what
the college holds out to them, and
they are now preparing to make the
season Of 1926 the best that Knox
vile has ever seen. They are already
repeating the slogan, win Every
Game" They are considering games
with teams that will be a big drawing
card, and game with Howard in
Washington is being seriously con-
sidered. The student life has taken
on a renewed interest and activity,
and from the grades up through Presi-
dent Giffen we find the same Opt
mistic spirit. It is hard to defeat a
team or a man who knows what he
wants and will pay the price that that
want demands.

Boston, Mass.-The National Equal
Rights League has sent to President
Coolidge the following frank appeal
to note Armistice Day by abolishing
segregation and recommending anti
lynching legislation in his message to
Congress:
"On the eve of the seventh ami
versary of the Armistice of the
World War for true world democ-
racy, the National Equal Rights
League in behalf of the millions of
Americans Of color, tens Of thousands
Of whom died and hundreds Of thou
sands Of whom, some wounded and dis
abled, risked their lives in that war
would point out to you those denials
Of true world democracy perpetuated
upon your colored citizens and upon
none other-no service and accom-
mediation, or segregated, in restaurants
of Capitol building and of other gov
eminent buildings and in all public
places of accommodation and resort
in the national capital, segregation in
federal employment and its civil access
series, exclusion from federal naval
and military schools, segregation in in
terstate carriers, Observation-Disclosures
in Southern federal elections, and
death without court trail by white
mobs.
"At the Armistice anniversary pre-
ceding the sesqui-centennial observ-
ance of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, which declared all men born
free and equal, endowed with the
rights of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, the League calls upon
you BY recommendations to Congress
and by executive orders to begin the
abolition of such denials Of the prom
ises alike Of the World War and Of
the great Declaration upon which this
Republic based its right to, an indie
pendence for which the colored race
gave brave soldiers and, the first

Nov. g, 1925.
The Knoxville Huskies, after riding
rough shod over Fisk University
week ago to the tune of Is to 0, came
back again and repeated the score
and riding over Livingstone College
from Salisbury, N. G. Sport writer's
from Chicago had doped Livingstone
to win, 10 to 0, but the dope bucket
was badly upset. Never were the Liv-
ingstone boys within the forty yard
line and only once did they break
away for any dangerous gain, and that
was when Moreland broke loose for
twenty yards and brought the ball to
midfeld where they Immediately lost it.
The field was very heavy, but that
did not make any difference to the
Huskies They had been handling
wet slippery ball for three weeks in
practice and the last three games
were played on a wet field. Johnson
and Ridgeway ran the ends superbly.
Cowan returned punts for fifteen and
twenty yards and was only caught on
one occasion when he slipped in the
mud and fell. Fowlkes again pune
tured a semi-impregnable line for con-
sistent gains. Never before had that
line been plunged successfully but
Saturday his terrific drives went
through It for four and five yards at
time He also caught one Of the
three attempted passes and gained
thirty yards. His punting was con
sistent and far reaching. There is
only one Fowlkes and he is due for a
berth on the all-American.
Cromwell, for two years all-South-
ern guard, was in his prime. Getting

serum can effect the regeneration OF
women, it has been announced here.
At first there were rumors that it
was tried out only on animals, but
it has been revealed that the serum
already has been used satisfactorily to
restore youth to women. The new
preparation, made from glands, is in
jected into the veins and brings back
complete inner and outward youth, it
is said.
Prof. Kammerer, collaboration with

Rejuvenates Women

While specialists such as Prof. Ben
jamin of New York previously tried
to treat women with local rays and
heat or by adding new glands from
younger women, Prof. Steinach ex-
perimented with serum based on ovar-
ian glands. 1t was tried out on old
rats, which, after short treatment,
looked young again, giving birth to
vigorous litters. A similar extract in
jected into the veins of women en-
abled them to bear children.
Idea Used Years Ago
Prof. Kammerer pointed out that
the idea is not new. In the '8O's in
Paris, DR.. Brown-Sequards gave
treatments with ovarian solutions, but
the Paris academy opposed the idea
severely. It was also found out that
Prof. Brown-Sequards treatment re-
turned youth for only short time.
Prof. Kammerer stresses The fact that
the Stomach serum does away with
all the disadvantages of the Brown
Sequard treatments and that DR..
Steinach's experiments have proved its
lasting effect
According to Prof. Halban, the
Steinach serum undeniably brings
about sexual regeneration, but he is
not convinced that the serum will
bring about general regeneration.
Prof. Pelham. however, asserts he is
convinced that Prof Steinach's dis
covery will benefit women.

The marriage customs of the Touaregs are quite
remarkable The bridegroom makes over to his
bride all his property. The bride brings dowry
to her husband that varies from two hundred francs
in cash in kind upwards. If she leaves him, he
loses his property except the dowry, he is careful
not to offend her, or exhibit undue jealousy.
The Touaregs consider that everything a woman
does is good and reasonable, and give their wives
the greatest freedom, but in return the wives are
quite amazingly unfaithful. They may do more

five hundred francs or its equivalent in kind-about
the current price, in fact of horse. The price of

fifty francs-the value of camel.
The slaves have no feeling of shame or inferiority
concerning their servitude.
"Of what difference" with simple philosophy,
they say ito work for master or for living? The
right to go hither thither is small in comparison
with the fact that assured of permanent

In fact, in the places where the French have tried
to stamp out slavery their efforts have met with no
response from, and, indeed, have been sometimes
actively discouraged by the slaves themselves Often
when they DID, or have served their masters WELL
they are given their freedom The Touaregs, being
nomads the slaves live in or round the tents of their
masters Quite often they grow very attached to
their owners, and will risk their lives for them
The masters have complete rights over the
