sporting writer had ever thought
of that. Well he kidded EN- right
up to game time, and even got the
odds against his team. Well, grand
pap says that when they kicked off
Notre Dame got ahold of the ball
and never give it back to the oth-
er side all day. Barnum grandpap
says in his balmiest days never
made such a sucker out of folks
with his side show as this Knute
fellow did singlehanded, outside of
what his team did to the others. He
even told EN- that next year they
would beat him that bad. Well
everybody was surprised to know
that they would play EN- again next
year. Nobody ever heard of the
Kaiser wanting a return date.
But I have just heard grandpa
sit by the hour and tell some of
the comical things this Rockne did
in his day. Yes sir, grandpap says
he is the one that made Notre
Dame more famous than Oxford
and Cambridge. This Swede, or
Norwegian, or Dane, or Lithuanian.

NEW YEARS DAY

Festivals in celebration of the beginning
of new year have been traced back as far
as 5000 B. c., to ancient Babylon. They may
have been held long before that. Through
out the ages various peoples have observed
various days as New Years Day.
In view of the many calendars which
have been employed to mark the passage of
time, much confusion has resulted. Differ
ent peoples have counted the years from some
real or imaginary event, and the length Of
the year itself has varied according to the
calendar used.
The Mohammedan year, for example, is
governed by the moon, instead of the sun,
and consists of IL lunar months, or only 1854
days. The Hebrew calendar also consists of
354 days ordinarily, but an extra month is
inserted once in 10 years, making 384 days
in those embolismic years, as they are called.
The ancient Egyptian year had IL
months of 30 days each, but five supplement
tary days were added at the end, making 365
days. Similar peculiarities marked the year
of various other peoples. At one time or
another every day in the year has been con-
sidered New Years Day according to some
calendar or other.
Our present calendar is modification
of that established by Julius Caesar in the
year 46 B. c. Augustus made some rear
rangement of the number of days in the var
ious months, so that August, named for him
might have as many days as July, named for
julius, for originally August had only 80
days. The calendar we now use was estab-
ished by Pope Gregory in 1882.
So, when we observe New Years Day
we may understand that it does not mean
anything in particular, except that it is the
first day Of a year arbitrarily established as
a convenient means of reckoning the flight
of time. .,.%s>

A GO-GETTER AT sc

When Mrs. Herbert Hoover christened
the new Dollar Line ship, the President Hoov-
er, a few days ago, Captain Robert Dollar,
the 86-year-old owner of the line. was not
present. He was in China looking for new
business for his great fleet Of ships.
The President Hoover, by the way, is the
largest merchant ship ever built in the Unit
ed States, being 653 feet long, with accom-
modations for 1850 passengers. A second
ship of the same size is under construction.
Few careers have been more picturesque
or more amazing in accomplishment than that
of Captain Dollar. Born in Scotland of poor
parents, his schooling ended at the age of II,
and upon removing to Canada his active ca
reer began as laborer in lumber camp when
he was Is.
Shortly afterward he came to the United
States and was naturalized as an American
citizen in 1888. He engaged in the lumber
business and foreign trade and has long been
known as one of the largest operators of
ocean vessels in the world, all of which are
under the American flag. He was 81 when
he bought his first vessel, and he is not
licensed shipmaster. His title of Captain"
therefore, is merely honorary.
But, even if he is not practical navi-
gator of ships, he probably knows more
about operating them at profit than any
other living man, and has not slowed down

Let those that torment themselves with foolish
fears and permit their fears to interfere with bus
mess and the return of prosperity ask themselves
these questions
Have we not had depressions before? Did we not
then think that the end of the world was coming?
Did not go about shaking their heads, saying:

we never had anything like this"

they will have to be taught who was
President around all that era.
These confined grandchildren of
ours will say, Eyes we have great
coaches today, we have great teams.
But dad says every play they know
was originally done away back in
his childhood by Knute Rockne
who founded Notre Dame. This
Mother Dame was just another
stubblefeld college, they cut down
the tall grass, damned up the
creek, and made another one of
those Indiana institutions of learn
ing that fourished on practically
every quarter section throughout
the state. Well from. what grand
dad says, this Rockne blew in there,
and went to school. He was a
Swede, or Norwegian, or a Dane,
or some of those ski jumping ma
tions up in there. He didn't know
a football from footpad. But these
pumpkin seed boys was kicking
one around there and playing what
they humorously referred to as
football. They let him play with
EN- just for comedy purposes, and
for a Swede or Norwegian, or a
Dane, he turned out to be mighty
good. Along about then they start
ed throwing forward passes, so to
have some more fun they got to
throwing EN- to this Swede, no Nor
wegen, or Dane. Well instead of
this Swede, or Norwegian or Dane
lodging EN-, why he got to catch
ing EN-, and ski'ening over the line
with EN-. Well then he graduated,
for they wont let you stay in one of
thes schools but four years, no
matter how little you know.
So he found some boys that didn't
know much more about the game
than he did, so he started in
coaching EN-, the first think you
know he was helping to coach Notre
Dame. He told EN- that football was
a game of the head, and not of the
feet and hands. Well it just wasn't
no time till Notre Dame had got
out Of the weeds, and raised their
scholastic standing a half dozen
touchdowns, and you started read
ing about it. It wasn't Just a
buckwheat college. It was right up
in the money. It was filing more
Stadiums than any of EN-. He then
originated the unique idea of play
ing real team every Saturday, in
stead Of about three a season. Then
come his climax, as my old grand
parents have told me. He was a
great kidder. He was to play a
game on the coast against their
sporting writers had boosted their
team up till it looked like practical
death for Knute to even go on the
field with en-. Well he started in
before they left Chicago, saying
that his team didn't have a chance,
that they would be beat, as they
had lost their only star. Well on
the coast they fell for it, and when
he got to Tuscom, Arizona to prac-
tice, why he was supposed to have
lost another star, Mr.. Mullins.
The sporting writers come down to
see who was practicing in Mullins
place and they noticed a No. 81.
They looked it up and it was Mr..
Hanley. But when the game start

table are Puccini'S glasses. the last

OF Turandot, Act One, dated August 1,

Opposite the upright piano and the
casket inset In the wall is a chanel
with marble figures carved by Maraini
Inc figures represent Mime. Butterfly"

"Manon." The walls are inlaid WITH
mosaics by de Carolyis.
