Information? Well. most of us

we can use. Advice? That's the

1ieve in ourselves again, dear God,
how we need it.!
Somehow it's getting to be a
harder job every day for most of
us to believe that we matter. This
tremendous new world of ours
makes us feel about as important
as fly speck in an old fashioned
saloon. When we were young
sters, back in some sleepy little
town in Iowa or Vermont, North
Carolina. Texas, Wisconsin or
Oregon one human life mattered
a lot. Folks were watching that
one human life, planning for it,
specializing about it, banking on
it to do the big things in the
world. But ever since we left

one thing that can cure that
loneliness and dissolution, only
one thing that can fill the empti-
ness within Us and put us back
in our right place again, and that
thing Is love.
Someone to believe in you in
the warm, friendly, generous, old
fashioned way. Not trying to
analyze you or reform you-just
boosting you to the limit. That's
what most OF Jus need and are
looking for. And when we find
it, it's like finding our mothers
hand in the dark.
So I've come to realize that the
best thing a column can give to
a. reader is just friendliness. The
ideas in the column may be the
bunk suspect mine often are.
The facts may be silly and the
advice all hot air. But IL behind
the words there's a. hand that
grips and a heart that trusts and
a spirit that gives it's all, then
that column Is WOW!
LoVe--that's what people want
from a columnist. And we're all
columnists. I'm writing mine
with a typewriter, and you're
writing yours with the small,
daiIy deeds OF your life, but folks
are coming to both of us for the
same old thing. They're coming
for love. And if you can honestly
give them that, you're giving, the
greatest thing on earth.

UouR skin has its own suzcep-
= tibillty. That is to say. the
skin of different people varies &C
cording to its structure. The
outer layer, or epithelium, may be
thin or thick: the nerves may be
abnormally sensitive or insensi-
tive; the blood supply active or
scanty. These and other varia.
tions in structure determine in
large measure the susceptibility to
external irritation through con-
facts in different industries. The
use OF and responsibility for pre-
ventive treatment is in the hands
primarily Of the sufferer, and to
a lesser extent is divided between
employers and health authorities.
Some types of skins are in
greater danger than others. Peo-
pie who have a bad circulation
and are susceptible to chilbrains;
the young, those who are born
with an abnormally dry skin, and
those less common individuals who
sweat excessively on the palms OF

are a few people who show on

others, should be excluded from
occupational risks OF this sort.
Whenever it is ascertained that
bodily contact with industrial
products is responsible for in
creasingr the sickness rate in an
industry, employers should re-
place hand contact by machine
labor. This was most notably
done during the war in T. N. 7.
and poison gas factories. Further

mated by clean working. For
instance, in machine-ruling ac-

clean workers escape.

On the other hand, employees

Trio of HOoSier EIevenS
Battle With Eastern
Rivals.
OHIO IN BIG CONTEST
Two indianapolis Squads
Play at Home.

1t was swell fotball dish that
the college boys slid in front of the
nations fans this afternoon. There
wasn't an exceptional number of
big rivalry contests on the days
program, but there happened to be
plenty to talk about with a mess of
great intersectional engagements on
the menu.
Three Hoosier elevens swung into
action against eastern foes. The
top-go of the group was the Notre
Dame-Penn State encounter at
Philadelphia and pre-game dope
was slightly in favor of the Rockne
outfit.
Wabash tangled with Colgate at
Hamilton, N. Y, in a tilt slightly
tinged with the old rivalry angle.
The Cavemen last yaer tumbled
Colgate, 7 to o. and the fasteners
were all set to make an attempt to
even the score.
Tough for Case
De Paw invaded West Point to
meet the great ARMY team, poten-
tial 1928 mythical national cham
pion. Another important game,
involving a Hoosier team, was the
CaSe-Purdue battle at Lafayette.
The Cleveland eleven wasn't con-
coded much chance against the
Boilermakers.
Other important Indiana conflicts
were staged in Indianapolis, Butler
meeting Muncie at the Bulldog
bowl and Indiana Central playing
Earlham at Washington park.
Only two Big Ten settos were
on the bill, Illinois playing Mich
igan at Ann Arbor, and Minnesota
taking on Northwestern at Evan
ston.
Here's Big One
The big shot of the day also in
volved a conference squad, Ohio
State clashing with the Princeton
eleven in the headlining intersec-
tional fracas of the afternoon. Pre-
game dope was slightly in favor of
the Buckeyes.
Another big game doomed at Chi
cago where Penn and Chicago were
to fight it out. A third came at
Madison where Wisconsin played
host to the south, represented by
Alabama.
Three big games were on the
eastern card, N. Y. U. meeting
Georgetown at New York, Dart
mouth tackling Yale at New Haven
and Syracuse clashing with Pitts
burgh at Pittsburgh.
In the far west the Southern Cali
fornia- Stanford game was the fea-
ture. Oregon played California in
the other big fray on the Pacifis
coast.

Technical Fights
to Deadlock With
EUonsUiHe Team

Technical battled its way to a 6-6
tie with the strong Central of
Evansville team at the Arsenal field
Friday afternoon on a muddy field.
The teams were well matched and
neither team held a decided edge
over the other at any stage of the
game.
Central slowly pushed their way
to the Tech goal line early in the
game despite stubborn resistance
and early in the second period
Boucher plunged through for the
touchdown. The pass for point was
grounded.
Tech made a gallant attempt to
score in the first half, but a tumble
proved costly and the locals left the
field trailing. In the third quarter
both teams braced and neither was
able to gain. In the last period
Horn pushed his way over the
Evansville line and the plunge for
point failed.
