What Does General
Andrews Think?

EV7E do not believe that Gen. Lincoln G. An
w drews, in order to convict girl of vio-
lating the Eighteenth amendment, would take
her riding, buy her dinners, show her a good
time generally and finally ask her to marry
him. One of his agents in Baltimore a mar
ried man, did just this and testified junblush-
ingly concerning his tactics when the girl age
10, was put on trial charged with having pro-
vided liquor for him to drink Her testimony
was that she had bought the liquor for the
agent with money provided by him.
The court threw the case out of court. 1t
should have thrown the agent out likewise, on
his neck.
We do not believe General Andrews army
officer and gentleman, would have done what
his agent did. But we d like to hear from the
general some expression on the subject. We d
like to hear straightforward condemnation
of the cheap, shopping tactics being employed
by many of his agents in various parts of the
country, to say nothing of the illegal invasions
of homes where agents suspect the possession
of liquor.
The country is glad to hear the general
say he is trying to keep politics out of prohi-
bition enforcement. There are other things
that should be kept out

But only a beginning has been

Some of the glands still remain a

Among these is the thymus gland,
a small gland located in the neck.
So far research workers have been
unable to discover any function

Who invented the motion pic

motion pictures?
The first motion picture camera of
the present film-using type was the
kaleidoscope, brought out by Thomas
Edison, and another similar machine
developed by Lumiere, a Frenchman,
in 1898. In the beginning these were
crude affairs, and when motion pic
lures were first shown in small
theaters they were not much patron

films and the visual strain. The
first motion pictures were taken by

the first streak Of light filters out
through the air and we're greeted
by wonderful dawning.
A bit of the sky, at the edge of
the world, turns reddish, then
golden, then yellow. The night dis
appears and the daytime's unfurled,
as the harshness Of dark melts to
mellow.
All nature seems greeting the day
that is new, and the growths of
the meadow seem greener. There's
spirit and thrill when the suns
peepin' through and the worlds real
appearance is keener.
The drewdrops Of dusk seem to
glisten a while in the rags of the
sun; then they're gone. The night
may be frowning, but daytime's a
smile that arrived with the coming
of dawn.

HILL TOPPER s
FEAR FOE ON
GRID
Coaches Point to LebaNon's
Scoring Record as Prov
ing Worth

Few changes are expected in the
Georgetown team that will take the
field Saturday morning against the
highly-touted Lebanon Valley eleven.
The forwards probably will remain
intact, while the only regular in the
backfield whose position seems to
be in Jeopardy is Vukmanic at
quarterback. He is a corking field
general, but Germley is pressing
him closely for the berth and
would seem to have the edge be-
cause of his proficiency as a punt
err.
Furthermore, it is probable that
the first team of the Hilltoppers
will see service through the greater
part of the game. Lebanon Is a
tough aggregation to hold under
the best Of conditions and it is to
be doubted If Coach Little will find
il convenient to let down to the
extent Of trying out substitute ma
terial.
The coaching staff at the Hilltop
sacrificed impressive scores in the
Drexel and Mount st. Mary $
games in order to try out a number
of promising substitutes under fire.
Had the first team remained on the
field during the greater part OF
these games, it is possible that the
Hilltop count would have been
much greater.

GOLF PRO THINKS CLUBS
HAVE FACES TOO DEEP

1t is the belief Of George Heron,

er nowadays uses clubs with faces
that are too deep. He would do
much better with q shallow faced
club.
This is especially true of
brassies and spoons" said George.
1T is easier to pick q ball from
the fairway with a narrow face,
and this is also true of iron play.
A jigger will pick up ball from a
mediocre he much better than any
deep-faced club. Many players are
misled into believing that a deep
face gives a. better chance at the
ball. That's all wrong"
