University Of Wisconsin President Thinks Some Good Coaches De- veiop Character In Players.

Chicago, Oct. P-President Max Mason of the University of Chi cago. does not believe a commerciaI- ized athletic situation exists in the leading colleges of the country.
 "Of course there Is enormous pop ular interest in football" he said. and when you have such an interest there Is bound to be oyer-emphasis. But as long ss football remains a token of school loyalty, a means If building character, popularity will not harm It."
 Whether coaches are ovcr-paid, depends on the coach, in his opin- ion.
 "A man who is able to develop character rather than merely to win games, and who exercises good influence of manliness and fairness upon his players, is valuable. The coach whose sole object Is to win, however he may, Is a liability"
 E. He admits there may be jealously between academic and athletic de- partments of most universities. President Mason, one-time Wis consin track star and letter man in l the high jump, favors mass athletics

BY ROBERT Il. SMALL.

The end of 1924 has found the
poisonous bootleg trail still stretch
ing a paralyZing hand across the con-
tinent, and with no immediate prom
ise of any sort of relief. The bootleg
"industry"-for such it seems to have
become-is poisoning not alone in
the physical sense, but is breaking
down the morals of an apparently
ever-increasing number of persons.
The recent disclosures at the At
lanta penitentiary show that the big
bootlegger knows no bounds. Even
in Jail he attempts to corrupt and
destroy.
Reports from hospitals in various
sections of the country show that the
alcoholic" cases treated this year
have far exceeded those In other
years. In Bellevue Hospital, New
York, alone the alcoholic cases have
jumped from 2,o00 in 1921 to $500 in
1924. The hospitals also report that
the cases of today are much more
difficult to deal with than those. of a
couple of years ago, indicating that
the grade of whisky obtainable is
slowly but surely deteriorating, even
where actual poison is not deliber-
ately sold.
The holiday deaths have been par
ticularly numerous, although the re-
turns are not yet in. In the larger
cities hospitals have prepared for the
new years influx of patients in much

the same manner. that field hospitals
advance of set battle.
Virtually all of the hospitals have
stopped accepting liquor from the
Federal prohibition forces because of
the poor qualities seized. The use of
whisky, however has not diminished
to a very great extent in the public
medical institutions. some of the
larger hospitals getting barrel a
month or more.
The hospitals have made no at
tempt to ascertain the number OF
deaths due to the drinking of mix
lures made from alcohol which has
been denatured in accordance with
Government formulae, although there
was a recent fiareup in a Senate
hearing as to the right of the Govern
ment to poison liquor which eventu-
ally might reach an innocent con-
sumner. The reply of the prohibition
agencies has been that in a time of
national prohibition there can be no
innocent" consumer and that no
honest" man can be harmed by con-
tinuing the practice of making COM
mercial alcohol unfit for possible bev-
erage purposes.
The moral breakdown in the wake
of the bootleg army is causing more
concern here than the deaths which
result from oVerindulgence in the
poisonous and forbidden drinks.

often have been prated about in this
country, but neither condition really
was known in its fullest sense until
bootlegging got under way after the
National prohibition act. No other
form of law violation has had SO
much ready money connected with it.
Some of the bootleggers now in dur
ance vile at Atlanta are rated as mil
lionaires, but the Government has
found no means of reaching or con-
fscating their ill-gotten wealth. The
bootleggers are ready to part with
their money for special favors, and
1t is difficult for some officials ap-
parently to resist their advances.

CannOn.Ball Trees.
IN tropical America, even so +

IN tropical America. even so far
north as the Canal Zone. there
flourishes a curious tree, correctly
enough it would appear, known as
the cannon-ball tree. In French
Guiana particularly it thrives in the
greatest profusion.
The cannon-baIl tree fiourishes best
in low, moist soil near streams. The
public park in Port of Spain, Trini-
dad and the botanical gardens in
Georgetown, British Guiana, contain
fine specimens that never fail TO at
tract the attention of the tourist.
The cannon-ball tree springs up
quickly and in the forest attains
heights between 90 and 80 feet, but
in the open it spreads out more and
does not reach such heights. In
March this tree drops its leaves with
great suddenness, but its new foliage
comes out with equal speed in few
days. The pink, curiously formed
flowers. with their strong. penetrat-
ing perfume, are most abundant, and
during their bloom make the tree a
beautiful sight.
The fruit. however, is the chief
curiosity. 1t is a woody. globular
pod from six TO eight inches in diam
eter, and it grows on long stems that
hang in tangled mass from the
trunk and from the base of the large
branches. The fruit is grayish
brown or rusty in color, and about
the size of the cannon balls that dec
crate so many squares throughout
the world. The people of French
Guiana, whose imagination seems TO
be most active, noticing the shape
of the fruit its horsehide-like texture.
and especially the seamlike scar
where the flower detaches itself
from the fruit. have nicknamed the
tree the base ball tree"
