TlHE Romans were the great
engineers of old; they belted
the known world with roads that
were the wonder of succeeding
centuries, and built bridges and
aqueducts and domes and vaults
that travellers go to look at to-
day. The Romans were great
because they were at the head
of the practical science Of their
time. The memory of this must
come back to any one visiting Italy
at present. That land recalls its
past; it is inhabited by descen-
dants as well as by successors
Scipio and Caesar.
Once more Italy has seized the
handle of practical science and
is forging to the front. She has
set her Alps and Apennines to
work, turning their tumbling
waterfalls into streams of energy
the crowded plains of Piedmont
and Lombardy into the image of
a world of workshops, but are
flashing down the historic PENN.

the Alps and the Apennines,

tered If he could have beheld
that spectacle! What delightful
letters could not new Pliny
write from his shady villa under
the brows of the laboring Alps,
describing this new marvel of
the Roman genius of work.
Work! That was always the
secret of Roman success. Read
how under the lash of Caesars
gla--ce the legionaries toiled with
the pick and the spade as well as
with the spear and the sword,
to win a world empire and I'M
dying fame. And the empire and
the fame belong not only to
Caesar, as you will see If you
pause Il moment to consider the
majestic figure, that the simple
Roman legionary makes before
your imagination. Like the I'm
known Soldier of our time, that
single. name embalms the fame
Of millions in one. Living, the
ranks thrilled at their share of
glory; dead, that share is never
less, but even more.

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland


When Is Woman Most Attractive?
WHEN, my Daughter, is a
w woman most desirable in the
eyes of men?
Yea, when is she most INTER
ESTING to the Fastidious Sex?
For this Is the secret which every
damseI yearneth with all her
heart to discover.
Verify, a woman is most inter-
esting to any man just before the
First Kiss.
For, unto a damsel, the first
kiss is 1.-THE beginning unto
a man. it is the beginning Of the
end.
Likewise, woman is most in
teresting to a man. when she Is
INTERESTED-in another man.
For, then, she maketh no attempt
to be interesting; and there is no
pose" in her.
Yea, and there be many more
times and moods. when a woman
is most attractive. Even
When she is old enough to
know more than a little about
men-and still young enough to
care more than a little about
them.
When she hath too much sa-
gacity to pursue a man-and suf'
ficient dexterity to make him
pursue her.
When she is sufficiently ex-
perienced to be congenial-and
sufficiently sunsophisticated to be
refreshing.
When she seeketh neither to
allure him, nor to patronize him,
nor to captivate him, nor to
"uplift" him.
When she neither freezeth him
with indifference-nor suffocateth
him with devotion.
When she liketh him just
enough to be glad when he

cast down when he departeth.
When she hath beauty to make
him forget that she Is intelligent
and intelligence enough to for
get that she is beautiful.
When she arrayeth herself
modishly, to resemble a fashion
plate-but not so daringly as to
be labeled a Sketch"
When she Is clever enough
to understand" him-and wise
enough to keep him guessing.
When she is bright enough to
comprehend all that he saith
and too bright to say anything
that is beyond his comprehen-
sion.
When she Is sufficiently spirit
ual to be inspiring-and suf-
ficiently human to be kissable.
When she neither setteth him
upon pedestal to be worshiped

Perhaps Harvard thereby expects
to duplicate the successes attained

MARYLAND ELEVEN
GIVEN MORE JOLTS

Foot ball at Maryland for the 1925
season has been hit a couple more
jolts.
The latest blows to be dealt the
Tarrapins was definite word from
Leland Cardwell, counted upon for an
end job that he would not be back
and a letter from Dave Whelchel,
halfback, from the Naval Academy
saying he had entered that institu-
ton.
End material is sorely needed at
Maryland and Whelchel, who was a
letter man, had been figured upon ex-
tensively by Coach Byrd in his Of
fensive plans. Whelchers brother,
John, is one of the Navy coaches,
being former Annapolis grid star
Both Cardwell and Whelchel are
WaShingtonianS, the former having
attended Eastern High and the lat
ter being a graduate of Western.
Cardwell also was captain elect of
the basket ball team and ranked as
the best strictly defensive guard in
this section. Whelchel also played
halfback.
Nine foot ball letter men. mostly
alton along with couple others who
had done good service, and with
drawals and fiunks have taken 10
men from the 1925 varsity and fresh
men squads who were counted upon
heavily for this Falls eleven.
Maryland still is well fixed for
backs. but its line prospects are
rather dismal.

OVER ESQ GRIDMEN
OUT AT ANNAPOLIS

ANNAPOLIS, Md. August 2s.x
on the field this afternoon at the
Naval Academy.
OF the big aggregation of players
out this afternoon nearly 200 were
members Of the plebe squad, while
the others, about 70, formed the
varsity and 3 squad. their work not
having been separated as yet. All
were in foot ball toys for the first
time this season.
Lieuts. Johnny Whelchel and Eddy
F'rawley, former Naval Academy
players, have charge of the plebes
this year and great point is made
of co-ordinating the work of the first
year player with that of the varsity,
so that there will be no change of
methods when the youngsters adj
vance to the big squad. The opposite
has at times been weak point in
the Navy system
Among the plebe candidates this
year is Sloan, formerly of Drake, who
has been classed as an all-Western
player. His position is end. There
are a number of other former college
players of reputation with the plebes.
The first big problem of the varsity
coaches will be to develop a center
trio. Lentz and Edwards, the power
full guards of last years eleven, both
have graduated and Osburn, for two
years varsity center, has been moved
to the backfield.
Important changes have been made
in the physical training department
involving the sports of foot ball. row.
ing and wrestling.
Spike Webb, for seven years box
ing coach, has been assigned to duty
as trainer of the foot ball team, sue
ceeding John Schultz, who will remain
as chief wrestling coach and assumes
the new duties of assistant rowing
coach, having given attention to that
sport during the past year.
Frank Lynch, former instructor,
will return to the academy, acting as
assistant coach of the wrestling team
and assistant trainer In foot ball.
