CAMP HAS BEEN
 LONG ON THE JOB
Started Picking AH.American
 Teams in 1899
(By Billy Evans)

Imitation IS the sincerest form or flattery.
 Such being the case, Walter Camp should take much pride in his All America football team.
 Years ago Camp conceived the Idea of picking 9 team that would be made up of the outstanding play CTS in the football world.
 It took considerable nerve to tackle so big a job, although when Camp originated the idea, the class of collegiate football was largely confined to few select schools.
 Pack in 1899 Golfers Weekly first gave nationwide publicity 10 Camps selections, The feature has become a national institution.
 To football fans and players the Camp team is the last word in foot ball.
 The idea that Walter Camp origi- mated has become pet hobby of every sports editor. All grid ex- perts close the season by picking an All-America. AS yet no one has discovered two teams exactly alike.
 When Camp first picked his all- star team, Yale, Harvard, Penn and Princeton were supreme in football. At the close of the season he had only to consider the lineup of these four teams to pick his All-America.
 With an improved standard Of football in other sections, the task later became much more difficult Today with the open game 1t is any thing but an enviable job.
 Last season was q succession of upsets in football. Few teams ran true to form. Each week saw some comparatively unknown college knock off one of the leaders.
 Not since Mr. Camp has been picking his All-America has he de- riated so widely from his original course as in the season just closed.
 Instead of Yale, Harvard and Princeton players hogging the team, not a single member of the so-called Big Three is placed on the first eleven.
 The fact that eleven different col leges are represented on Camps first 1 team has made it popular geo. graphically Practically every sec. ton of the country has received consideration,
 Since the publication of the All | America for 1924 Mir. Camp has been the target for many q sports editor. That he realizes the diff | culty he is up against is' apparent from the opening paragraph of his story ln a recent issue of Golfers Weekly, Here 1t is:
 My All-America team of 1924 must take on certain characteristics indicated by the development of play.
 The progress that was made in 1923 toward conserving the energy ot prayers ana supplementing the | powers of a team by the interjec- ton of fresh men at psychological moWents, has gone on expanding until there is hardly game played 1 without a great number of substitu- tions
 The old days when it was boast cd team of eleven men, possibly a dozen, played through all the big games of the season have disap- | peared.
 The play Of today demands q greater range of ability in all the men"
 The last statement explains why it IS So difficult to pick an Al-America 1 team today and get away with it.

PLENTY

One of the most satisfying
words in our language is "plen-
ty." Ii embraces so much and fills
so many long felt wants. This
word seems to epitomize all that
should be said concerning the is
land at this time. There has been
plenty of everything that's worth
having, and scant supply of the
useless and unimportant things.
Health-and it has been prevalent
throughout the year, OF course
we have had a little touch of
whooping-cough and a few touch
es Of lumbato, but the whooping-
cough is a little easier on the is,
land than elsewhere, and the lum.
bago doesn' t pain quite as hard
lIappiness-and il has been with
us in heaps and gobs. Think OF
the many homes that have beer
made happy by the coming of new
babies. The sheriff hasn't bother.

PEACE

Having made our preliminary
bow, we call attention to the peace
which has come to us as citizens
of the U. S, A. and particularly
of this island. The News Record
was firm advocate of President
Wilson's League of Nations"
But it didn't get across. Then
came the Harding World Court"
scheme, which was about the same
thing given in smaller doses. Mr.
Coolidge took up the fight for the
World Court where Mr.. Harding
laid it down, and it is now safe to
predict that before another Christ
mas season rolls around, America
will be joining hands with the 9th
er nations of the world to outlaw
war and bring in the reign of uni
versal peace. The Locarno pact
has been signed by Chancellor
Luther, of Germany and many 9th

a more harmonious feeling over the

need of credit and praise for this
happy state of affairs. At every

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Caution to Small Investor.
BY. GEORGE T. HUGHES.

The author of a recently published
book on investment practice advises
the purchase Of securities on the basis
Of the composition Of the directorate.
He suggests also that the lists Of Sc
curities published in connection with
the wills OF distinguished men will be
found profitable guides to other in
yestors.
Now, in my opinion. both these
suggestions If acted upon without
great caution are likely TO prove dis
astrous. Good management is an
essential If a corporation is to be
prosperous enough TO warrant the
outsider in taking it's stocks or bonds,
but you cannot always assume that
the management is successful he
cause there are distinguished names
on the board of directors. Many a.
railroad has gone into the hands of
a receiver and many an industrial !
corporation has confessed bankruptcy
while some OF the most prominent me n
in trade and finance were serving as
directors.
Nor can lists Of investments Of sue
cessful men be relied upon as indi-
eating what the average small inves-
tor ought 10 select for himself. In
the strong box of nearly every great
financier are found after his death Sc
curities commonly known as cats
and dogs" The loss involved through
the purchase of these oil and mining
stocks or whatever they might be was
OF no importance to n large capitalist,
but il might be Very serious to a.
small one.
II all goes back to the principle that
the man Of large means can afford 70
take risks because he i able TO di-
versify his holdings so that il one or
more of them go sour" Us the express
sion is. profits on the rest will more
than make up for it. The man with
small resources cannot take this
course, and If one or more of his In
yestments go bad he is crippled 10
