THE two Southern Conference
schools making their homes in
the State of Tennessee bid
Il fair to have foot ball teams
among the strongest in the
South.
Both had good teams year ago,
and both have back on their respec.
tive fields the bulk of material that
was so successful then. Vanderbilt
has back eight men from last years
team ready to step into regular jobs,
while Tennessee is in possession of
nine.
Vanderbilt lost two veteran backs
in Hendrix and Cargile, but has re-
turned in Spears, quarterback, prob
ably the cleverest individual runner
in the South. Sharpe, Cecil, Luskey.
Creson, Owen and Armistead are some
of the others from the 1926 squad
who are most promising. All these are
practically certain to be members of
this years varsity.
McGugin Not Kicking.
Dan McGugin, Vanderbilt coach for
many years. seems to be better salts
fed with the outlook for his team
than at any time in the last decade.
Not only does he have much better
material than usual back from 1926,
but has, in his own words, three
pretty promising freshmen in Aber-
nathy and Gibson, linemen, and Nc
Twain, back.
Tennessee lost two men from its
team of last season, and last year
Tennessee was far better than usual.
Billy Hardness, quarterback, and Sam
Jones. end. are the two players who
are not available. though Hardness is
helping as coach of the freshman
eleven. Tennessee beat North Caro-
lima in 1926 by "a to 0, and in addi-
ton to that attained victories over
Louisiana State. Mississippi A. and
NJ. Sewanee and Kentucky, but lost
to Vanderbilt.
Two ends who were not eligible
last year are expected to. make
strong bids for varsity places. They
are Alley and Lowe. Tudor was drilled
as freshman quarterback last season
to take Hardness place and judging
by the way he has been going in prac-
tice bids fair TO fill the vacant pair
of shoes very acceptably.
Play Hard Schedules.
Both Vanderbilt and Tennessee play
hard schedules. In fact there is no
Southern Conference eleven that does
not play a difficult list of games.
Tennessee's biggest contests are with
Kentucky, Vanderbilt. North Caro-
lima and Virginia. Vanderbilt's most
important contest is that with Ala

minutes Umpire Rowland inspected
the infield and decided there would be
no more play.
Each side revised its lineup for the
final battle of the year between Ma
tionals and Indians. On the home
side, Iris Speaker and Jack Hayes
were relieved of their jobs and new
arrivals from the Birmingham club
sent into the fray. Foster Camel
was placed in left field. Goose Goslin

All you have to do Is to sQulnt at

Franklin SatO Day of
Woman in Business

Although desiring a quiet life In his
older years, Franklin could not retire.
One political office after another
sought him out. He tried his best to
avert the Revolution, and his eXaml-
nation before the house of commons
In February, 1766, marks the zenith of
his intellectual powers.
In September, 1778, Franklin was
appointed envoy to France and sailed
soon afterward. Despite his seventy
years, no other American could have
accomplished the things he did. His
reputation had preceded him to
France. Great ladies sought his com
pany; shopkeepers hung his portrait
on their walls and the rabble wor-
SHIPPED him. Under Franklln's influ-
ence, money was loaned the strug-
Cling colonies. He won from France
recognition Of the United States and
then the treaty Of alliance. This was
his last and most important work.
Biographers maintain that Franklin
more than any other great American
possessed the woman's viewpoint.
Some even maintain that his great sue
cesses were achieved because Of this
quality; that the great French treaty
might not have been brought about
were 1t not for the homage paid the
first civilized American by the great
danes of Paris.
Certain 1t is that he was the means
Of starting the first American woman
in business, and he was first in n
movement that has changed the pres
ent-day life Of 100000 Americans.

Lack of Money Gaze
Impetus to Business

Dennis Tllley, North Carolina to-
bacco grower, was short Of money the
second fall after the close Of the Civil
war, and this urgent need inspired
the development Of quick method Of
curing tobacco Up to that time the
growers had allowed nature to take
its time, and the curing process was n
long one. The tobacco was hung out
Of doors in the sun for many weeks
before It was ready for market and
the growers had to walt until the prod
uct was cured before they could get
money for It. Tllley conceived the
idea Of hanging the tobacco in
smOkehOuse, used for curing meats,
and putting n charcoal fire under It.
AS a result his crop was ready for
market long before those Of his neigh
bors. Later the process was trans
ferred to barns. with fires built on the
dirt floors. Several barns were
burned while this process was in op-
Grafton and this resulted in the con-
structlon OF hues In the barns, heated
by fires In brick furnaces outside the

Cold Weather Due to
Dust in Atmosphere? i?

Seeing that volcanoes fling out
molten lava and burn up everything
near them, 1t may seem queer con
tradlctlon to suggest that they can
cause cold weather. but the explana-
tlon Is this-volcanOe throw up vast

Dust cuts Off an amazing amount OF

There were three cold years after the
