Here is the low-down on college football, as given by
Bud Mcbride, a prominent Nebraska halfback, in an in
terview in the Omaha World Herald:
II have heard johnny Bender say a dozen times:
Football made a bum out of me- And that's just what
it does to 80 per cent of the players.
Il played high-school football and liked 1t. It was q
great game. When I went to university I was pledged to
a fraternity. You know what happened then. I went
out for football. Once you start and show any ability
you can't stop. You're in 1t from then on.
Whats the result? Football takes a good share Of
your afternoons and evenings In the fall and spring. You
can't take engineering or law or any technical courses.
They would take too much time. So you just string
along. take all the pipe courses in the university and
trust to luck that you'll pass enough Of them to stay
eligible.
Here I am. a senior, with a fair football record. but I
haven't learned a thing that will help me earn a living
when I get out. We players are just the monkeys at
the circus, that's all. We 60 through our antics, bring
In a neat little pile at the box office. but the velvet all

And what Is the conclusion of the whole matter? Foot

Using sport for sports sake" it builds its big stadiums
and asks the crowd to come and pay their money. and
the crowds oblige. The players furnish the show and
pay the penalty. Football is more powerful than the
colleges that created it, and this particular victim can't
see any way of curling it. Can anyone?

Stories Will Not End War

pickett's charge at Gettysburg was frightful carnage,
July 3, 1868. Yet it has come to assume a glamour in the
eyes and thoughts of succeeding generations. The siege
Of Verdun was massacre on a vast scale IN the World
war, hideous butchery beyond description. May it not,
however, as the present generations die off and new
generations come to the fore achieve the epic status
which the charge Of the Light Brigade at Balaklava at
tanned from the pen of T%ennyson?
These thoughts are suggested by the growing volume
of literature painting the monstrous sayagery and idiocy
of war. thereby luling the world into the assumption
that perhaps this frankness of the new type OF war ro-
nance may Of itself make future %butcheries. such as the
World war, impossible. Especially with the lift that
peace pacts and armament limiting conferences hold out
for this hope.
The fact is that these war novels assure nothing.
There is q mirage about them. They have been tending
TO lMll the unthinking into premature hope that the filth
and suffering and ugliness Of war are on the verge Of
being made everlastingly impossible by the advent Of an
abiding peace as the principle on which the nations Of
the world will hereafter dwell together.
We have told ourselves: Surely the old illusions about
war have been destroyed by now. Surely this literature,
which shows war for the frightful business that 1t really
Is. win prevent people ever again from welcoming a new
war"
That sounds quite logical. Such books as "All Quiet
IN the western Front" Squad" "All Our Yesterdays"

few at random-can hardly leave any non-combatant
with the idea that war Is anything but a ghasMy business.
But the fond hope that these books raise may. after
ell. be quite mistaken.
Indeed. it is an open question whether even the most
earnest of these anti-war novels may not, in the long
run, actually inspire young men with q subconscious de-
sire for war.
The dominant note in all Of these books is much the
came; that war Is filled with pain and fright and suf-
fering. to an extent alnoot unbelievable.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Would Strenxthen Voice

Question:. w. writes: II would
like your advice about strengthening
my voice. It is very weak at times, and
at other times it is quite strong, I am
q young man 10 years of age, and I
I'm DESTROYS Of having q strong voice."
Answer.-Each voice has naturally
q different quality, due to the forma-
ton Of the throat and upper nasal
passages. However, no matter what
the natural tone of your voice, you
can develop as strong q vocal power
as anyone else. This must be done
slowly, by taking deep breathing ex-
ercises. You will then learn to train
the diaphragm, which is the muscle
controlling breathing. You can get
special instructions by going to any
good vocal teacher.
Dates
Question.-A. q. asks: Are dates
healthful, and IL so how should they
be used-in what combination with
other foods?"
Answer.-Dates may be used with
butterwilk or cheese. In this fay they
make an excellent combination which
creates q beneficial chemical condition
In the intestines. They also may be
used sparipgly to add flavor to certain
desserts, rs in carrot pudding. I will
give q salad recipe which includes
dates In the weekly menus appearing
In this column tomorrow.
Enlarged Tonsib
Question.-Mother of five writes:
please tell me the proper cure for
enlarged tonsils. Or should they be
removed?"
Answer.-The cure Of diseased ton
sils. or the reduction of enlarged tom
sils, is simply q matter Of dietetics. I
have prepared q 500-word article on
this subject which win tell you exactly
what to do. Send q large self
addressed envelope and ask for the

Butter Consumption and Education
(Minnean0lis Trih0nnel

A letter to The Tribune from Frederic, Wis, suggests

essential place of butter and other dairy products In any
well balanced and healthful diet is very much in order.
