FOOTBALL MAKES A GAIN

(A&AGAA& @NA%AAG 0AAANA
AS far as the playing OF football is concerned.
both from the viewpoint OF the player and the spec
tator, the 1927 season proved very satisfactory. While
the changes made in the rules did not affect the
character Of play as much as many expected, the gen.
eraI tendency was for the better. AZ is apt to be the
case where rules are altered, some conflicting condi-
tons developed; but they we're Of a minor character
and with few exceptions did not work and hardships.
What is needed now is a further clarifying Of the
rules. Fundamentally the game is sound.
That there has been less overemphasis apparent
this year than last will, we believe, be generally sd-
mitted. and it has been that phase Of the game which
has. in the past, caused most OF the cry against II.
Football is naturally a game which has so much Of
the spectacular connected with it that it will always
attract more attention from the general public than
cher sports; but this year has seemed TO show that it
can be kept within reasonable bounds.
There have been a number Of instances this sea-
son where the heads Of some Of the colleges have
shown enough interest in the game to attend practice
sessions and mix with the players and the coaches.
This has undoubtedly worked for the good Of the
game IS well as the good Of the college. In the past
those in charge Of the educational side Of the big
American colleges have seemed to hold alocf from the
game. with those in charge Of the sport seldom get
ting in touch with the college authorities. Should this
increase Of interest shown BY the college officials
continue, a large part Of the objections to the game
will be overcome.
Next year promises to see an innovation which
should also prove beneficial to the sport. Fielding H.
Yost, director Of athletics at the University of Michi-
gan, plans to have two varsity teams, one playing At
home and the other visiting other colleges. This is
the plan which z. NJ. Hopkins, president Of Dartmouth
College, proposed last winter and il will be interesting
to see just how ii works out.
That the sport itself is a splendid one is generally
admitted, and it is gratifying to know that those who
are its firmest friends are giving the situation serious
thought, not with a view To abolishing it, but in the
hope of making it take its rightful place in college
activities.

TAN CUT PERIL CITED
BY Ogden L. Mills
Undersecretary Of the Treasury

Ogden Livingston Mills was born at Newport.
II. J., August %, 1884. He was admitted TO the
New York bar in 1908. and has since practiced in
New York City. Mills was elected to the New
York state senate in 1914 and 1916. and in 1921 to
the lower house Of congress. Re opposed Cow
ernor Al Smith for the governorship at the last
election in New York state, and since has been ap-
pointed undersecretary Of the Treasury at Wash

There IS no conceivable excuse for mourning the
risk Of an unbalanced budget. which means serious
interruption az a reasonable and moderate program Of
debt reduction.
The president IL required TO submit to congress
a balanced budget. or II the budget is not balanced to
recommend such measures as will secure adequate
funds 10 meet current expenditures. The spir;s and
purpose or the budget Law are clear. They should be
lived up 10.
The question before the country and the con-
gress Is a very simple one: Are we to adhere to the
principle Of a balanced budget and to the orderly pro-
gram Of debt retirement hitherto consistently fol-
lowed, or are We, in order TO obtain a larger measure
.of tax reduction, formally 70 recognize deficits as
iustifiSble and 10 embark on q course that at least
will retard and partially negative the retirement Of
our var debt now provided for? How absurd. on the
enc hand, TO make sinking fund appropriations to re-
tire war bonds and. on the other, 20 compel the treas
ury to issue new bonds to cover current expenditures.
B~udgeting on the basis Of "lets take a chance"

there is no telling when il can be curbed- Tax redue-

That one Of the most vital needs OF the South Is
more industries and factories. which would eliminate
the uneconomic system now in effect whereby the
South ships its raw materials 70 the Eastern or North
ern Industrial centers and then pays high freight
rates on manufactured goods, is generally conceded by
economists who have made a survey Of the situation.
The South now has its industries centralized here
and there, and the effect 81 these industries upon
the farming regions adjacent is very marked. II ad-
ditional industries can be brought into the South and
scattered throughout many Of the sections which are
now strictly rural, the effect. economists state, would
be a balancing Of prosperity and the utilization Of
great quantities Of farm products which are now vir-
tually a waste.
DR.. III. A. Morgan, president Of the University OF
Tennessee. who has made an exhaustive survey Of
Southern industries and their effects upon agrieul-
ture. advances the conclusion that wherever industry
has been discentralized and distributed over the rural
sections. you find more public revenue available, lower
tax rates, increased value ~ agricultural production
and property. better educational advantages for chill
dren. and life in every way richer, deeper, better
worth the living"
To build up industries does not mean that any
section would neglect its agriculture. Industry build
ing has the effect Of stimulating agriculture, provid-
ing home markets, which are always the most profit
able; creating a tendency to diversity; supplying mar
kets for products which under ordinary conditions
are virtually a waste. In other words. wherever in
dustry and agriculture can be combined they -inyAri-
ably aid the prosperity OF each other.
One Of the main drawbacks the South has eneoun-
tered in connection with development Of its resources
is the fact that its growth has been too strictly rural.
The development has lacked the balancing effect Of
Industry. The fact that the South can produce sgri-
cultural products AZ a lower production cost than in
the North and East has been largely responsible for
the lack Of interest in industry. Up TO a few years ago
the Southern farmers believed they could produce the
raw material. ship Il to the industrial eenters and the
Tow costs Of farm production would more than offset
the disadvantage Of being far removed from the manu-
featuring sections.
Agriculture will continue to be the basic industry
Of the South for many years 20 come. But il is APP
parent that the South has now reached that point in
its development when a balancing factor in the way Of
industries must be provided. With the cost Of farm
labor constantly rising, the cost Of production il in
rreasinc. Farm values are also Increasing, together
with taxation and living costs. The old advantage of

OLD FASHIONS AND NEW NOTIONS

TO PLEASE A HUSBAND
II wear my hair this way because it pleases my
husband" said a very charming woman TO me recently.
She was a woman near middle life, well-to-do, we'll
informed as to fashions and modes, and well-dressed
in a modest version Of the up-to-the-minute clothes.
Altogether an attractive person. Let me add that the
mutual devotion Of the husband and wife in this case
is unmistakable.
The mode Of hair-dressing the woman referred 20
would be called decidedly out-of-date BY almost any
fashionable woman. 1t was a modified pompadour.
You see" she said, Il wore my hair this way

way still, and prefers to see me as nearly like l was

A PROBLEM FOR WIVES

And then this thoughtful woman raised a question
that ! have thought about a good deal since.
II wonder whether a woman ought TO try TO look
as she did when she first caught her husbands atten-
ton, and thus continue to please him. Or whether it
would be getter to admit to ourselves that we can't
continue to stay young, but follow the extreme mode
OF the moment in dress and ~coiffure.
II wonder which policy. in the long run, will
please the husbands most?"
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1927-12-29
WHATS YOUR OPINION?

Well, / think that's a legitimate and important
question. Remember, this was a frank and somewhat
old-fashioned woman. She wants to please her hus-
band and to hold his love. and she's succeeding in do
ing H. Of course, she doesn't DO il merely by the way
she dresses her hair. bat that's important. too.
There are husbands and husbands. And some
middle-aged women look beautiful and dignified when
they retain some Of the fashion Of thirty years ago.
But il is my own opinion that the woman who can be
old-fashioned and attractive ,. the same time is a
very exceptional woman. The average woman will be
more attractive and more successful if she follows the
modes. Becomingly, Of course, but that can always
be managed. Most men would rather have their wives
look stylish than have them try to retain the style
of the days Of ~eourtshiP, after those days are long
past.
