Princeton, N. J.-Bill Roper Is looking for backs and he doesn't care where he finds them. He took Stan Purnell, substitute center. out of the line yesterday and put him in the backfeld where he appeared to good advantage.
 New Haven, Conn,-Yale's varsity is 23O pounds stronger than it was on Thursday. Rotan, who uses his 230 pounds to good advantage in the line, has joined the squad. Injuries suffered in wrestling prevented him from coming out earlier. College Park. Md.-Bozey Berger, substitute back. will start in the Maryland backfeld against Yale. Maryland coaches evidently hope lightning will strike twice in the same spot Berger was the star of the 1918 Yale Maryland tie last year. Philadelphia Penn has been warned to watch out for Virginia Oct. II. Bud Hooper, former Penn end, said Virginia had rounded into formidable aggregation with a great halfback in Thomas. Providence-Brown beat Rhode Island by only one touchdown last Saturday but Coach Fuss Me Laughry has not lost confidence in his varsity. He said he'd start the same eleven men against Worcester Poly.

Editor Times-I live perhaps four
miles from the city market, and
made a trip there this week espe-
cially to buy fresh fruits and vege-
tables.
I purchased basket of tomatoes,
which the stand owner assured me
were all in good condition down to
the bottom Of the basket.
When 1 arrived home and turned
them out of the basket 1 found the
top row was in edible condition and
the rest solid black mush, unfit for
use, to be dumped in the garbage
can.
I also purchased from another
stand three quarts of Strawberries,
which were represented to be in fine
condition from top to bottom. The
top layer was in fine condition, and
after turning them out and as
sorting them, I found less than one
quart fit for consumption and the
balance went with the tomatoes.
While l was dreaming of my good
luck in the bargains I was obtain
ing, decided to buy dozen ban
anaS at another stand. When tire
stand owner repeated the same lire
that separated me from my money
as the other two had done, I smiled
and parted with my money.
When these bananas were ex-
amined I found the greater part of
the lot decayed and in an unedible
condition and they followed the
others to the garbage can.

The Drys' Dilemma

Congress is considering more drastic measures in
enforcing prohibition. Suppose we convict all the
swarming Woators Of the dry laws What are we
going to do with them?
Drys have contended that all that is necessary
to prohibition success is to convict those who defy
the law.
Experience with enforcement is proving that the
logic is not quite simple as this.
Here is the dry argument: Fines will not suf-
flee. We must have convictions and Jail sentences.
Jures either will not convict else act too slowly
Convictions must quicker and in greater numbers.
Therefore do away with jury trials in certain cases
and let the culprits be tried before United States
commissioners.
Such measure was recommended by the Hoover
law enforcement commission and the house has
passed it. Let us waive for the time being the con-
stitutonality of such legislation. Suppose the law
is passed and the commissioners quickly grind out a
big grst of those adjudged guilty. If they were not
fined they must be imprisoned But where?
The President and his commissioner Of prisons
and encouragement have been complaining bit
tery about the overcrowdng of federal prisons These
institutions are more than 100 per cent overcrowded
today
Atlanta, with capacity of 1880 was housing 1928
the date of the last report of the National Society
of Penal Information. Leavenwortn with capacity
of $40 had 1888 within its walls The federal gov
eminent not board out its liquor prisoners be-
cause the state penentiares are equally overcrowded
In short, even though we got more convictions of
liquor volatorS all We could do would be to herd them
into the already numerically jammed prisons and
wait for another fire or riot.
Do drys welcome this prospect?

GOUNOD'S BIRTH
June II

0N June II, 1918, Charles Gou-
~ nod, French composer of sacred
and dramatic music, was born in
Paris. the son of an eminent painter
and engraver.
1t was from his mother, an &C
complished musician, that young
Gounod received his taste for music.
At the age of 10 he entered the
Paris conservatory, where he won in
his first year the second Prix de
Rome.
Three years later he won the
Grand Prix de Rome. His first APP
pointment was as an organist in
Paris, but it was not until he pro-
duced his opera Sappho in 1851 that
he attracted attention.
After experimenting the inStruc-
ton Of singing to the communal
schools of Paris and directing the
choral society connected with them,
Gounod wrote his noted opera,
Faust" his greatest success and one
of the most enduringly popular
operas Of the modern stage. His
next greatest success was the opera
Romeo and Juliet"
Gounod wrote many beautiful
songs, including the widely known
ave Maria" based on Bach'sl first
prelude. His influence on con-
temporary music was very great.

Does he have to wait until she
calls him up? Not he. Don't tell

know it isn't possible. The kind of

the heads of all ladies and gentle

glamor and the tribe will dwindle.

Me Starving Chinese

More than 100000 people will starve to death
before the next harvest unless relief is sent TO the
Chinese famine victims. At least 100000 already
have died as a result of this famine in the northwest
provinces.
7bese figures are given by Grover Clark, former
editor Of the Pepng Leader, who recently returned
from the stricken area. His report on conditions
confirms earlier reports by William Philip simmS
scripps- Howard correspondent, and others.
The American people never have been slow 70
respond to such need Their sympathy and financial
aid ALWAYS have been given generously TO torelgn
neopIes in distress as to fellow Americans Partcu-
Iar1v Americans were quick to help in earlier Chinese
famines
This time. however the China international famine
relief commission has not succeeded as well as eH-
pected here Though the campaign for s2'Ooo'OOo
fund has had the active cooperation OF sucn OF
carnations as the federal council OF churches anu
the foreign missions conference the relief commits
sion since January has been able to seno only
little more than 100000 to China
The reason for this apparent failure in American
relief is attributed in part by recent foreign policy
association bulletin to the report OF the American
Red Cross delegation last year.
last Senternber the Red Cross decided against
co-operatng in China famine relief, on the ground
that the famine was not so much natural caiaiuVy
as a result of civil war; and that outside help was
impracticable. anyway.
At the time of the Red Cross report we challenged
ne conclusions and expressed the hope that 1t would
not retard collection of American funds
Now we are more convinced than ever from Vre
statements by Grover Clark and other responsible
correspondents and observers in China that long con-
nued drought is the basic cause of the famine ana
that the distressing civil has not prevented e.
fectve use of American relief. Distribution Oh reei
is being facilitated by all Chinese factions

DEOPLE tell me that there are

the dissolution of the fraternity is

customs established as very neceS-

Dueling, for instance, was abol-

AS result of the excitement Gre
ated by deaths from this cause last
year, numerous cities have endea-
vored to develop health laws con-
trolling the situation, and these
differ in various states.
The committee feels that some
attempt should be made to co-ordi-
nate the laws so as to make it pos
sible for the manufacturers with
nation wide distribution of material
to make one type of device to meet
laws everywhere.
The committee urges particularly
that manufacturers conduct re-
search with various substances used
in daily life before placing them
on the market, rather than attempt
to control the hazards after deaths
have occurred.
