swered: why? Have you lost any,

Why, everything is in the rule
book, and a little bit more. Every
conceivable case is covered and
sometimes in two or three conflict
ing ways. A legislator at Albany re-
Gently discovered that somewhere in
getting his favorite bill through the
enacting clause had been lost out of
it. He should look in the foot
ball rules. It's probably in there.
Then there's the law student who
has been trying to find an 'incor-
poreal hereditament." When last
seen he was thumbing Kent and
Blackstone induStriously. Let him
look through the foot ball rules.
II it isn't there, he can make his
complaint and 1t will be in there
next year.

A Mere Suggestion.
The spectators at foot ball games
don't know the rules. The players
don't know the rules. The coaches
and officials have bitter debates on
the subject. Even the rule-makers
place various interpretations on GER
tain clauses, amendments and pen
alties.
AS far as the spectators are con-
cerned, probably it doesn't matter.
They don't understand the card
tricks or the magic juggling of a
vaudeville magician, but they are
highly amused just the same. An
air of mystery is always an added
attraction.
But there should be some limit
somewhere. The players should be
let in on the secret and the secret
should be simplified so that at least
one regular and one substitute on
each team will understand 1t. The
coaches and officials should come to
some reasonable agreement on dis
puted points. II the rules are
changed every year. nobody will ever
catch up with the parade. This may
solve the problem Of perpetual mo-
ton, but 1t won't help foot ball:
It Is respectfully suggested that no
further changes be made In the rules
until two men ind out what the
present rules mean-and agree on
their findings. That would put the
next meeting Of the rules committee
about a thousand years away. 1t
seems too soon.

The action added third stumbling

match until Walkers manager, Jack

that Walker will defend his middle
weight crown against Ace Hudkins of
Nebraska at Las Vegas, New, July A.
Loughran, too, is expected to shy from
the match as he is cunning for the

the fact that the correct creams

The same holds true with the

The formula given below can

Formula I.
One ID bar Of pure CASTLE
soap, shaved fine and added to
one (1) pint Of cold water. Let
this simmer until the soap has
dissolved. Strain through two
~ layers Of cheesecloth and set
aside to cool. at which time it

amount is ample for two sham
poos.

(1) tablespoonful of alcohol. two

eighth (ls) of q teaspoonful OF
ordinary household borax and one
(l) egg that has been well
beaten.
Add the bay rum to the borax.
stir we'll and then add the alco-
hoL. Mix these ingredients with
the CASTLE soap jelly Beat the
egg and then stir It lightly
through the mixture just before
using. Use as You would any
shampoo.
Formula 2.
If the hair is normal add only
the egg to the CASTLE soap jelly.
II the hair is very dry. massage
a liberal amount of pure olive oil
into the scalp and saturate the
hair itself with oil. Let this re-
main on over night. then sham
poo it out in the morning using
one application Of tincture Of
green soap shampoo followed by
two applications and gatherings

Under such circumstances the
tincture Of green soap shampoo
Is necessary to cut the lavish
amount Of oil that is on the hair
and scalp. However. for a woman
with dry hair to use this sham
pooh without the previous appli-
cation of oil would be ruinous.
