NEW YORK, Dec. C.-The All

eyes Of many just as exciting as the
regular football season. is on in full
blast !.
Sport writers. coaches. the public
and even players themselves are now
busily engaged in picking what they
believe to be the IL best grid players
Of the recently deceased season. The
astounding thing is that of the thou
sands Of "All-American football
teams" which will see the light of
the printing press, there will be very,
very few which are exactly alike.
Once Easy Task
In the old days football fans were
content TO let one pick what he
thought were the IL best players and
they let il 60 at that. His choice
was at least semi-officially the "All-
American team" Now that has
changed. No expert will accept the
pickings Of any other expert and the
public mas learned TO doubt the wis
dom OF all experts.
That is as il should be. No single
observer is competent to judge the
merits Of al college football players
in this wide country OF ours. IL is
almost impossible for any n man

No other team was considered and
rightly so, because what most Of the
other teams played IN those days
hardly resembled football. The Biz

The first real step toward some

The next year the Big Three again

1891 Pennsylvania broke the ice with
Adams. a center. However. by 1893
all selections were again being made
from the Big Three lineups.
Cornell was the fifth team to get
recognition, Wyckoff, a quarterback

did the West get a chance and then
Herschberger Of Chicago was given
the fullback position. Chicago and
Michigan were the only two schools
TO get recognition until 1909 when
Minnesota was noticed in McGovern
at quarter.

though troublesome and I'M
reliable. But there is another
class of habitual liar who is not
normal and who often is ex-
tremely dangerous.
There are the people who lie
as they breathe, who live in a
lie world. In a vague, distorted
way these people know the differ
ence between lies and truth but
they lack the moral snsitiveness
which makes lying abhorrent to
proud, healthy people. They are
really irresponsible, although they
often seem clever and crafty.
Such people lie from cowardice
and resentment, but another ele-
ment also enters into their dis
honesty. They are "neurotlcs'
with distorted emotional natures.
They hunger for excitement and
adulation as a dope fiend hungers
for hop" and normal experience
does not supply them with that
excitement or adulation. So they
lie in order to obtain 1t. They
like 10 start things" and tell
amazing, complicated stories to
that end or devise widespread,
dramatic. malicious plots involv-
ing many people. They also in
vent flattering stories to draw
the spotlight on themselves.
Sometimes these poor souls are
obviously insane and can be easily
recognized and guarded against.
But more often they inhabit that
tragic border line between sanity
and insanity, the nature of which
is so battling to even our greatest
scientists.
Are they crazy?" we ask in
anger and despair as we see them
attack one life after another.
God only knows where their
natural human cussedness" ends
and the awful blight of insanity
begins. Perhaps in some happier
land hereafter He can free such
poor tangled minds from their
snare.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed


You may or may not belong
L to that fortunate class of
young women who must do some
thing for a living.
All young women who must do
some honorable thing for q living
are classified as working girls.
It follows, therefore, that the
term working girl'' IL not to be
taken in the narrow meaning Of
a girl engaged in manual labor,
but includes all girls in the labor
market, shop assistant, clerk, etc.
Excellent results, we are in
formed by Murrell. have followed
the efficient inspection and treat
ment of ailments in school chill
dren, and much remains to be
done in the way of extending
such measures into the office and
shop. In factories more atten-
but there is room for improve
ment even here.
Adolescents have not only to
satisfy the requirements of the
labor market, but to do so dur
ing a period of great strain. The
following are some of the disabili-
ties to which they are particu-
larly liable:
There are certain errors of
spinal growth, such as q scoliosis
Spinal curvature), due to pro-
longed standing, bad sitting pos
ture and the carrying of heavy
weights badly balanced whilst the
bones are still soft. Lordosis, or
hollow-back or sway-baclz, is often
due to a wrong stance or faulty
shoes. Flat foot is closely con-
nected with spinal trouble and gen.
orally is due to wearing badly
constructed shoes Will, carrying
heavy burdens or otherwise over
working with the feet. Anemia,
which used to be so common,
fortunately is disappearing as a
result of more fresh air and
looser clothing.
Adolescence is the time when
self-consciousness first becomes
acute and when the new repro
ductive function obtrudes itself
upon the personality. This period
demands that adjustment be made
to it. Emotional strain of some
kind is therefore practically in
evitable. The girl suffers worse
than the boy because her outlook
on life is less definite. His work
does not interfere with his pros
poets Of marriage and hers is gen.
orally regarded as only a stopgap
till she finds husband. She is
often required to do purely routine
work which gives no scope to her
ambitions. This unsatisfactory
situation undoubtedly causes much
emotional overstrain in women.
Better schools give idealistic
education, but society gives no
outlet for the ideHIs. a most cruel

and by avoiding the necessity for

the family-my brother sister
and myself. We are all married
and get along fine only for the
terrible fault of my sister in
lying. She has lost nearly all
her friends; her own don't want
even to speak to her because she
lies so much.
Now she has almost succeeded
in breaking up my friendship
with a girl that has been my
chum for eight years. When you
confront her with it, she lies out
of all of 1t and throws all the
blame on the other person. She
has one child and is about to
have another-so I really don't
like to say anything to her while
she Is in that condition. She has
been that way all her life-but
she is getting worse as she grows
older, ANN H.
It is very hard to diagnose or
treat habitual lying. Ann, for
such lying isn't merely sneaky
trick, it is symptom of sickness
the result Of a sick mind.
Sometimes the mind is sickened
by envy-sometimes it is weak
ened by fear-sometimes 1t is
dreadfully warped and diseased by
some faint Of insanity.
Many people lie and invent mali
cious schemes and tales because
they have secret resentment
against certain other people or
against the whole world. Some
times in families one member of
the family will feel that he, or
she, has been neglected or abused.
This may begin in childhood and
persist through life. Lies. in
that case, become revenge for
fancied wrong. They usually
take the form of vicious stories,
intended to hurt the people who
the liar feels have wronged him.
Other habitual lies come from
fear. Not passing fears such as
