AGAINST FOOTBALL
New York World Hopes Harvard Princeton Break Has Started the End of Grid Game.

New York, Nov. 13 R-The New York World says today;
 "The Harvard Princeton break, we may be permitted to hope, is the first sign of q debacle whereby foot ball will fall of it's own weight.
 Tt now looks as though we have neither college nor universities but simply rival football clubs. Many will deny this. But they will hard ly deny that football is now the chief campus activity; that its coaches are paid more than profess sors; that it's 'udgct is larger than the budget for anything else; that if is almost the sole interest of the alumni, and that any president who cared tlout that interest would lose his job so quickly he would not know what happened to him."

BROOKLYN TEAMS
 JOINED INTO ONE
American and National League
 EleVenS AmalSamated

While the city of New Britain was buzzing with speculation over the reported breakup of the Brooklyn Horsemen the team that the All. New Britain eleven was to play in Brooklyn tomorrow, events trans pired in the metropolis which shows that the Brooklyn American league and National league teams nave amalgamated. The following dis patch will explain the status of the two teams at the present time:
 Humbert J. Fugazy, president of the Brooklyn Horsemen football team. today issued the following statement in explanation of the amalgamation of his team and the Brooklyn Lions of the National league. The combined eleven will finish the season at Ebbets field un- der the Brooklyn National league franchise, being known as the "Brooklion Horsemen."
 After studying the professional football situation during the current season. particularly as regards Brooklyn and New York I have come to the conclusion that neither borough can properly support more than one team" says Fugazy.
 ''To adjust the situation speedily in Brooklyn. I have decided that the best thing to do is combine my American league team. the Horse men, with Eddie Buffers Brooklyn Lions of the National league. The new team will be known as inc Brooklion Horsemen and will be jointly controlled by Eddie Butler and myself. playing during the re- mainder of the season in the Ma tional league at Ebbets Field and the Polo Grounds under the Lions fran chise.
 Tn withdrawing from the Amcri- can league, I wish it to be under stood that not the slightest i'll feel ing exists. Big Bill Edwards, head of the American league, is a per sonal friend and he thoroughly ap- prcciates the motives of my with drawal of tho Horsemen from his lea que. My relations with President Edwards. with Col William Hay ward and with the other officials of the American league have been most cordial and I have nothing but praise for them.
 'It is through no fault of Ed wards that several Of the teams in his league discontinued operations. The Brooklyn club stuck until sev- eral team had withdrawn and were it not that I am convinced that my foremost obligation is to the sports loving people of Brooklyn the Horsemen would remain in the American league until the close of the season. What I have done has been done with the best interests Of Brooklyn fans in mind and I am certain that they will realize this speedily.
 My faith in the future of pro- fessional football is unshaken. The professional game still is in it's infancy. It must suffer some grow ing pains. That has been true in the history of other leading pro- fessional sports. Professional foot ball is going to come into its own in short time and when that tim- comes Brooklyn is going to be right up there on top if it is my power to have it that way"
 The combination will stage its first game on November Fist, against Brick Mueller. Los Angeles team. as time is not available for the two teams to be fused by tomor- row. Joint practice will start next Monday. The Lions will play their scheduled game with the Canton Bulldogs at Ebbets Field tomorrow.

 It was wise counsel, I realized that, and it enabled me to meet with equanimity the pretty speeches and the delicate attentions which Philip VeritZen so frequently gave me. If I could have banished the absurd, yet persistent little impress sion that beneath my employers apparent nonchalance there lurked something intangible, perhaps as puzzling to himself as to me, l should have been perfectly at ease in my new work.
 But the impression could not be banished, and it tinged the reply l made to him with pertness I never should have used otherwise. But in stinctively I felt that a mocking lightness similar 10 his own was the only possible way to meet speeches such as this. So with an apparently careless little laugh, l said;
 Veritzen Takes Madge's Cue.
 That's fortunate for me, then, for I'm afraid this report isn't going to please you too well, and l need something to balance 1t. think I've struck a snag. Will you look at this please ?"
 I added a technical question, as spread out the notes, which, be- cause of his instructions to me con- corning Mary, I had not yet given him. He took my cue instantly and dropping his mischievous look, be- gan to discuss the question I had raised. He knew as well as I that I had found no difficulty worth mentioning, but he looked as seri- ous and concerned as if it were real problem, and from that went on to the intensive discussion and plan ming which marked our interviews. When at last he had finished, l felt as if I had done whole days work, and remembered Lillian's warning, that Keeping up with Phil Veritzen was a full grown job." I knew what was coming next when he looked at his watch with & speculative little air only too familiar to me.
 "We've run over the luncheon hour" he said T am so sorry. You must be famished. Let us hurry out and repair the damages"

 Well, I never." exclaimed Jimmy Skunk. Why couldn't that fish get away? What made 1t stick to that arm that first touched it?"
 Suckers" replied Graywing. Little suckers. Those arms. or feet, or whatever you want to call them, are covered with little suckers on the under side. Once they touch anything, they certainly do get hold of it. That little fish didn't have a chance in the world"
 q guess it is a good thing that thing isn't any bigger than it Is, said Jimmy Skunk.
 Well" replied Graywing, there are some so big that if it ever wrapped one of those arms around you, you wouldn't have a chance in the world. But none of those big ones live around here. Why, if one of them should get hold of you, 1t could pull you into the water just as easily as that fellow down there caught that fish"
 Reddy stared down into the water. T don't like the looks of him." said he. T don't like those wriggly arms. And l don't like the way he stares. And don't like the way he swims backward instead of swimming forward like an honest person"
 At that Graywing laughed right out. What difference does that make to you, Reddy?" he cried,
 Tt doesn't make any difference, but I don't like it just the same" replied Reddy. And I don't like the looks of him, because he doesn't look as If he had any bones or any she'll"
 Well, he has," replied Graywing. "He has sort of shell inside, in stead of outside"
 If it's inside, it must be bone,' exclaimed Reddy
 ''Thcres no must about It." re- torted Graywing. Tt isn't bone; 1t is a sort of shell. He doesn't look 1t, but he belongs to the mollusks. You know the clans and the snails and the scallops and the oysters are all nollusks. So that fellow down there is related to them in a way"

ed up forty times worse. Of course, he couldn't believe her capable of murder, but, he held that Bunny's killing of Myra was unpremeditated, perhaps an accident.
 But the evidence was, to his mind, strong. He had counted up the hours of the lights snapping on and off, as Mrs. Prentiss had related them.
 And as he reconstructed things, Bunny had left her vanity case down in the studio and went down t@ get 1t. Maybe, he surmised, she knew she would meet Heath there. Maybe Myra heard them together, and came down--angry. Maybe, Heath, dreading a row, cleared out, and the two women quarrelled.
 Then, little Bunny, losing he- temper, grabbed up the bottle and hurled it at Myra, with unexpected effect.
 Then, stunned at what she had done, the girl may have been tenn porarily out of her senses, and might have given way to the whim of painting Myra's face, almost un- consciously.
 Oh, well. there was no use in sur missing, but he felt that his recon struction was right in the main, If not in every detail
 But he set himself to work to hunt up Perry Heath or to learn something about him.
 And this legitimate search was far more to his taste than tracking down a poor little defenseless girl.
 For whatever he might think of her ways and whims, Cunningham couldn't help admiring the lovely child, and couldn't help a deep pity and compa ssion for her.

Silhouette.

The vogue of the straight-line Sl- houette Is nowhere so apparent as in the new cloth coats. Whether the garment be & sports model or a more formal afternoon wrap, the contour is invariably curveless Eve- ming coats and capes will undoubt- edly show a flaring cut here and there, as this line is more suitable to an elaborate type of wrap. Street and sports models. however, stress the unbroken line from neck to hem.
 A most satisfactory illustration Of this revival of straight, narrow contour IS the street coat sketched today. Here whatever width there it appears in the upper portion, which is loose to insure the new bloused line. The skirt section is wrapped closely about the figure, giving a straight, unbroken alhou- cite.
 The material of this very practi- cal coat is g. golden brown duve- tine. The trimming consists ot narrow strips of self material on the lower portion, and wide bands of sable on the collar and cuffs. The surplice closing is a graceful note, as is also the sen,i-dolman effect of the shoulder and sleeve line.
 With this coat Is worn 9 beige felt hat trimmed with brown gros- grain ribbon.
 Marrow bands of self material trim this brown duvetine street coat.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
TAKE HIS TEMPERATURE, PULSE AND RESPIRATION

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine.
 4 nurse who is caring regularly for patient is likely to be interest ed especially in three facts-his temperature, his pulse rate and his rate of breathing. These, she must record at regular intervals so the physician, when he calls, may know the progress of the patient. If the patient has no nurse, it is we'll for someone in the family to be able to determine these factors and to record them.
 The normal pulse for a healthful person is about 72 per minute. This may vary from 65 to 90 or more in some instances, and still not be the reason for worry or distress.
 The breathing rate Is from IS to 20 respirations per minute. and the normal temperature 9S6 degrees Fahrenheit. when taken by mouth.
 Taking Temperature
 When the temperature is taken under the arm, it is likely to be nearer 97s on the thermometer, and when 1t is taken by insertion of the thermometer into any other orifice, it is likely 10 be 99.6 because this records more accurately the temper ature within the body.
 When the temperature is to be taken by mouth, the thermometed is placed between the closed lips and under the tongue. Before insert ing it, one should make sure that the mercury column has been shaken down below 95 degrees and that it is continuous.
 The thermomete should be held under the tongue for two or three minutes before the reading can be considered accurate, even though the thermome are marked as recording in one-half or one min- ute.
 After the thermometer has been used, it should be washed off in cold water and then placed in an antiseptic solution until ready for use again. Extremely hot water will burst the thermometer and shoot the column of mercury up to the highest point possible. The an- tiseptic solution should be washed from the thermometer in cold wa ter before it is used on the patient.
 Taking Pulse
 The taking of the pulse rate yields to the physician great deal of val uable information as to the condi- tion of the patients blood vessels and Of his heart.
 It will be sufficient. however, for the amateur merely to be able tc count the rate. This is best done by placing three fingers over the artery in the wrist. The person should be lying down and the arm should be lying free at his side. He should not belying on the arm, nor should the arm be suspended over the back of a chair or any hard ob- ject. r
 Pressure is cXcrted moderately on the blood ves~el until the beating of the pulse becomes apparent. It should then be observed for at least l5 seconds to one-half minute be- fore the rate is recorded. The mum Der of beats should be counted for period Of at least one minute and the record kept for the physician, in case he wishes to have it.
