KICKING THE LEAGUE WHEN IT'S DOWN

AS was to have been expected, the q. 0. r, having failed to smash the League of Nations In 1920, has taken the present oppor- tunity of a fiasco at Geneva to propagan1ize against It through the medium of Alanson E. Tough ton, American ambassador 10 Great Britain, and Hugh D. Gib- son. American minister to Switzer- land.
 The usefulness of the League is gone, they say. Europe is returning 10 the old way of alliances and bal ances Of power, The coming arms barley will be q fiasco, they aver.

CITY SHOULD RETAIN OLD nIJRRITr SITE

Although tho site Of tho old Bur. rltt school at Main and East Main street may he worth s32i,000 -- which by the way seems . rather high flguro -- thero Is no pressing reason why the city should desire 10 soil 1t.
 It may Dc regarded as deEirable to use tho money to help pAy for other school buildings, but r~urons just as good might be forthcoming why the city should retain the site for It's own use.
 Tor instance, tho possibility Of constructing city auditorium there, one having all the appur- tenances for ycar-round recreation. need not be overlooked. It is an Ideal site for the purpose, and tho city in this way would get more value out of 1t than s324.0oo.
 There should bo no hurry in dis posing Of the old Burritt property even should it be desirable 10 sell it. The Center church society has held off selling It's downtown prop. erty for long time and seems to have good reasons for so doing The same reasons would apply in connection with the Old Burr!tt school. unless it is 10 be assumed that the city is not 10 administer It's property as iudiciously as the church society does.
 In view of the possibility Of the city using inc site for an audi torium or recreation center there appears to he no reasonable neces- sity 10 sell the Old Burritt school site, Let the remaining schools be financed without the mythical S524,000 that may be realized from such q sale.

ings of the Presidents emergency board,
 The National Grange and Ameri- can Farm Bureau is opposed to some features of the bill these wish Ing 10 give the Interstate Commerce Commission final power 10 protect the public from higher rates In case Of excessive wage awards. These point out that tho railroad brother. hoods are 10 demand wage in. creases totalllng 0.000,ooo for rho entire country annually. and that ->adcr the bill, If granted, such an award would be reflected in high CT freight rates on farm products. The farmers claim that the present railroad labor board gives tho pub Ito representation, while tho rropos- cd law does not,
 If the grange and farm bureau believes that every wage demand would be granted in full It's fears would he justified, But there is small likelihood that q presidential Investigation board would make such findings. Reliance Of the farmers upon the railroad labor board seems a will O the WIsp in view Of the ad- mittcd inability of that board to en. force it's findings. Present represon- tation of the public upon the rail- road labor board appears ,o count for little as long as the board can- not enforce It's decisions. Under tho Watson Parker bill decisions would be enforceable,
 President Coolidge, in his first am nual message of December 6. 1928, noted the existing dissatisfaction with the labor board and the dc sirability of new legislation, The labor board, the President sai1 Is unsatisfactory 10 tho public, the en- ployes and the companies. "lf a sub stantiol agreement can be reached among the groups interested tberc should be no hesitation in enacting such an agreement into law" the President declared.
 The Watson Parker bill is super for in many details to the Howell Barkley bill, which did not come 10 q final vote in either house. It is superior to the transportation act. Since the passage of the first rail- way labor legislation 40 years ago but "pocketed" by President Clcvo- land upon adjournment of Congress there have been four pieces of railway legislation. These wero the railway disputes act of 1888; the Erdman act of 1898; the NcWlands act Of 1913; and the transportation act Of 1920. II IS time that this phase of labor regulation were finally set tied right.

Toll From the 'Pigskin

Benny Friedman of Michigan and
his running mate Flora, Capt. Chuck
Kassel of Illinois, "Moon" Baker of
KarOw of Ohio State, are out of col
lege football.
There are many who at the same
time DOTTED their varsity numerals for
the last time but Friedman and Kas-
sci, Hess and the others, have written
their names in bold hand across foot
balls pages.
The passing of Flora and the canny
Friedman takes the heart out of Mich
igan's great aerial combination of the
past few seasons, leaving Oosterbaan
as the remaining one side of the tri-
angle.
Hess takes All-American football
out of Ohio's line, Quarterback Clark
leaves the backfeld with Karow, and
all told the Buckeyes lose more than
a dozen of the regulars who have
made brilliant record this fall.
Michigan loses eight varsity men.
Northwestern will suffer chiefly in the
line. Chicago loses Captain Marks
and two other backs, while Captain
Harmon is one of the nine finishing
with Wisconsin. Iowa's loss is Cap
tain Smith and five or six others and
Purdue loses Captain Hogan and al
most a dozen more. Minnesota will
miss, among others, Peplaw and Cap
tain Wheeler.

Suggested Arrangement for Home Laundry.

stove is placed near the washer, SO
that the clothes can be transferred
easily if they are to be boiled. 1t is
also near the shelf or small table for
starching, and the ironing board, In
case irons must be heated on it. The
closet is located in the ironing area,
but is very close to the washing equip
ment. The clothes chute, the supply
closet, and the closet for the ironing
board make compact fixture If con-
structed as one unit.
Lighting and Ventilation.
Attention should be given to the
lighting and ventilation Of the laun-
dry. The common practice of locat-
ing stationary tubs or trays under a
basement window brings them so close
to the wall that the light from a rel
atiyely high window does not strike
them. If the window arrangement is
poor, good source of properly direct
ed artificial light should be placed
over each large piece of equipment.
All electric wiring and devices should
be properly insulated.
Doors and windows should be so
placed as to give thorough ventilation.
The walls should be painted or other
wise treated so that they are not af-
fected by steam and are washable.
They should be light in color. The
floor should be of material that wears
well, is not too hard for the feet, does
not soak water or get slippery when
wet, and is easily cleaned. Wood and
concrete are most common.

has always taught his teams to play
clean football. He has been, at all
times, a sportsman first and coach
second. He has tried to instill these
principles into his players. AT times
one of them may violate the code, but
if the doctor hears about it the player
is in for trouble. Last year one OF

CONVENIENCE IN

There's a world of difference In the
way one feels at the end CT days
ironing, depending on whether you
have used your head to save your
back In managing the work, and on
whether you have arranged your
equipment In the best possible way
for saving needless motions. For ex-
ample, can you stand-or still better
sit in one place and reach both the
basket of sprinkled clothes and the
clothes horse that airs the finished
work2 Do you get everything ready
before you begin, so that when once
you get into the swing" or ironing
you can go straight ahead without in
terruption? And, speaking of inter
ruptions, do you plan to do the iron
ing at the hours least subject to
them? It's bad economy to heat up
be, and then iron a little while, with
a stop In between for something else
so that the irons get cold and possibly
the clothes get too dry. Much fatigue
can be avoided, also, In. connection
with ironing, If you have previously
given thought to the selection Of the
family clothing and the household lin
ems to eliminate all unnecessary IRON
Ing. The flatter and palmer the gar
ments the easier they are ironed; and
the family will accept rough dry,
