INDIAN SIGN
HELD ON PITT
BY IRISH

A fellow was telling how one Of
his ancestors went West years
ago and became lost on a vast
plain. Suddenly o horde Of
ferocious Indians surrounded him,
swinging their tomahawks and
shrieking their blood-curdling
cries. Closer and closer they
came on poor Mr.. Ancestor.
"What did he dO?" the fel-
low was asked.
''Wcll," was the counter,
what could he do? They was
Injuns!"
And so today many fans feel
those Pittsburgh football players,
who face the hordes Of Notre
Dame tomorrow, are somewhat
in the position of the unfortu-
nate ancestor. Notre Dame is
Notre Dame.
Notre Dame hasn't been beaten
and neither has Pitt. The Irish
tomahawked through that great.
versatile Southern Methodist
eleven; they beat Navy. and they
decisively whipped the powerful
Carnegie Tech outfit. Pitt de-
feated a high-claSs Syracuse
team, II to 0.
Notre Danes Rockne system
of speed and deception will be
faced by Pitts Pop" Warner
style of play, as coached by
Jock Sutherland, combining bull
XIV power and deception. Rockne
is said to fear Pitts lateral pass
attack. Pitt has been concen
trating on this. But given the
advantage of playing on their
home field, that Daugherty is
possibly the best center the Irish
will meet this fall and that Cap

PRETENT|OUS
BOWLING IN
OFF|NG

George ISemann is uoCLlAAlS UuS
q downright busy man. And espe-
ciaIly where the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress is concerned.
The latest George has "thunk
up" is a post-season match be-
tween the leading ladies duckpin
leagues here and Baltimore. In
other words he's mapping out in
his noodle the possibilities of said
match for play some time in April.
The Ladies District League. the
Washington Ladies League and
the Ladies Federal League are the
circuits which would compete
against Baltimore. The latter city
would have the Recreation Major
League, the Regent League and
the Bankers Insurance League as
its entries.
Such q match, such a
match! But, wait, here's
some more dope on the event.
Mr.. Isemann plans to have
the winners engage the ladies'
New England and ladies' Con
necticut leagues in what will
be called the finals.
Local teams should eat up a
match of this kind. And because
they are rated so high in bowling
circles. The Kingpins, winners OF
national title at Richmond, are
one, while the John Blicks OF the
Ladies District League, the Navy
Girls of the Federal League and
the Beeques of the Washington
Ladies League are others.
Here are some of the fair sex
who would compete in the men
toned championships" Lucille
Preble, Kingpin; Elsie Fischer,
John Blicks; Lucy Owens, John
Blicks, and Catherine Quigley,
Beeques. These rollers were
nominated as the first 10 ranking
bowlers in the country last year.
Three Clarendon bowling leagues
are very active. F. H. Goff,
secretary, sends reports Of inter
esting doings in the Commercial,
Business and Fraternal circuits.
Dean and KelleyS are tied for
the leadership in the Commercial
League. Ballston Pharmacy holds
undisputed possession OF top
il0nors in the Business League
while Junior Order is far out IN
front in the Fraternal League.

loneliness In an icebound land, as one year slipped into
another, and hunger and danger crept closer and closer.
In the day of riumpha entry the sacrifices are forgot
ten.
1t is well that not everyone has an opportunity to
charter a ship and attempt a crusade. The sea would
be hopelessly filled with craft that had no destination
but the pursuit of glamour. The harbors would be
crowded with vessels that came drifting back as the seas
grew rough.
We can't all be heroes. But 1t is very fine and for
tunate that there are pioneers possessed of a splendid
bravery and intelligence that make them unafraid to
tackle uncharted sealanes and Touchdown sky paths,
because they have a vision that is ~far-flung and glorious.
Such men give wings to our souls. They make us stretch
our lazy minds until they catch something of the spirit
of the wind-swept distances. They blow the cobwebs out
of our hearts and bring back the old belief in crusades
and grails and knights in steel blue armor.
We, as Americans, are grateful for our heroes. They
make us sing again, and dream a little as we work. In
a world that is so apt to be monotonous they restore our
belief in adventure tales.

It Is estimated that about 10 per
cent of all adults either have now or
have had athletes foot. This disease
has only recently come to public At
tention, and 30 little Is known about
1t that most Of those who have it do
not know what they have.
Athletes foot begins Is IN itching
spot between the toes. The skin turns
red, scales and cracks, peels Oft and
blisters form. The toes are tortured
with q peculiar itching which becomes
more pronounced during the summer
heat or after any exercise which in
creAses the perspiration Of the foot.
The trouble usually begins quickly and
gradually becomes worse unless
checked. When the nails are involved
they may turn yellow.
The disease Is contagious, and one
person who has 1t may infect many
among his group.
Athletes foot is really ringworm Of
the feet, and Is due to q vegetable
parasite with q long name, the 'tinea
trichophyton." This fungus parasite
Is commonly found on the floor in
gymnasiums, swimming pools, locker
rooms, along the tiles in public
showers and In public bath houses.
For this reason this disease is found
more often among the leisure classes
than among the poor. The parasite
Is picked up through walking in such
places with bare, warm, moist feet.
Now that summer is coming on, the
epidemic win probably become more
widespread than before. To protect
yourself In public pools it is q good
plan to avoid walking around the
floors in bare feet. It Is q good plan
to wear your own rubber shoes.
It Is pertinent to know that men
have this trouble more than women
do. because women more often wear
bathing shoes than men. When ex-
aiming the feet Of the students in q
university It was found that 70 Der
cent Of the men had ringworm Of the
feet, while only IL per cent Of the
women were affected.
The wearing Of hot, heavy shoes
during the summer which clog up the
skin Of the feet, causing excessive
p~erspiration to form between the toes,
undoubtedly lowers the resistance Of
the skin and causes q predisposition
to athletes feet. BY changing the
hose daily, washing the feet often,
and wearing suitable summer shoes,
q resistance Of the skin may be in
creased. The treatment consists prtn-
cipally Of using some antiseptic So
luton to kill the parasite. Ultra
violet light treatments viii also kill
all parasites on the surface, and the
same effect may be obtained through
sun-bathing the feet for q long time.
The feet should be exposed on all
sides for about an hour in the sum-
me- sun, the patient keeping other
parts Of the body covered part Of the
time SO as to prevent itching.
In curing the itching toes you must
persevere until the condition IL ab.

Editorial Comment
A Commencement Address
(Kansas CITY Star

(kanSaS City starr
Members of the Graduating Class: You have an inn
mensc asset which you do not yet realize; you have
youth, enthusiasm. Many of us older people really ought
to be killed. We know too much. Hard experience in this
irrational world has demonstrated to us so many things
that can't be done. This experience paralyzes our effort.
There came a time in the World war when the veteran
troops of France and Britain knew too much. They knew
the German line could not be broken. Then came a flood
of inexperienced, raw soldiers from America. They
didn't know much about the art of war. But they knew
one thing. They knew they could break the German
line. With the reinforcement of their fresh enthusiasm
the Allies united in a tremendous assault and the un-
~breakable German line went down.
Young men and women of the graduating. class, you are
the fresh troops. You can succeed in accomplishing
things from which we older persons, battered by the
blows Of life. shrink back. Year by year you fresh
troops pour into the armies that must carry forward
the flag. A great responsibility. An immense op-
portunity.
Ye fill up the gaps in our files.
Strengthen the wavering line,
Stablish. continue our march
On. to the bound of the waste,
On, to the City of God!

HYDE Urges Abandoning Land

11yUC CI&CS AUdlIUOIllIlS dIIO
Millions of acres of farm land in the United States
should be abandoned at once by farmers, both for their
own benefit and for the benefit of agriculture in general,
according to Secretary Of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde.
The land, Secretary Hyde declares, is a detriment to
the country, and should. preferably be forested. If not,
it should be allowed to lie falow until the soil has built
itself up.
There are millions of acres of lands in the United
States" says the secretary, in an article In the July num-
Der of The Country Home, which, because of location,
soil exhaustion or natural infertility, cannot be made to
produce a living equal to the American standard. These
arc known as sub-narginal lands. From the standpoint
of national agricultural efficiency. they ought not to be
farn,ed. They tend to lower the standard of living and
educational standards of the farmer who tills them. They
should be taken out of production, reforested and held
until some coming generation needs them.
ITO farm these now returns no profit to the farmer
but serves in the aggregate to increase the surplus and
depress prices, whereas they might be valuable to flu
ture generations if properly preserved.
1.-The majority of present day farms are falling short of
meeting their own needs from forests-fence posts. fuel
and such products. In 1924, American farms spent an
average of sl38.53 each for forest products"
Secretary Hyde adds that the temporary abandonment
of Improbable land is the only way open to reforesta-
ton, which, in turn, is the only cure for erodcd soil that
does not make its owner or tenant a living.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
THE s MASSACRE


On June Is, 1876, q United States
cavalry force of 260 men was massa-
cred with its commander, General
George A. Custer, in an engagement
against the Dakota Indians known as
the Battle of Little Big Horn.
Custer, an intrepid leader in the
Civil War, had been sent in advance
Of the main body Of United States
troops in pursuit of Sitting Bull and
his band. In the belief that he was
attacking only a part of the indian
force, Custer attacked the Indian CEN
ter, and instead of encountering 1000
Indians. he found himself against
5000.
Surrounded and driven back, Gus
ter's men fought desperately until
every man had persisted. The en-
gagement lasted perhaps not more
than 20 minutes. One Indian scout
attached to the force is said to have
escaped. The field is now marked by
marble monuments, each placed
where q man fell.
The campaign against the Indians
was started to protect surveyors of
