 is a strange coincidence that al- most 34 years ago to the week. another Georgia boy died from football injuries, leaving the fate of football hanging in the balance.
 Tt was his mother who saved it. Vanalbade Cannon, playing with the University of Georgia's football ten in October, 1897, a. gainst the University of Virginia, was injured and subsequently, died
 "T..,re was a storm of criticism over the state. Football was sub jected to unl..erciful attacks, and the fight finally reached the legis- tive halls. After a strenuous de- bate, the game was officially ban ned. The state law lacked only the governors signature to become official.
 Tt was then that the dead boys mother appeared before the gov ernor. The story goes that the mother, stricken by the loss of her son, nevertheless pleaded for the game that her son loved and for which he had died.
 Her request was that the gov- ernor veto the bill. This he did. She then went before the legisla- ture, and, in the name of her son that was gone. asked that they permit the game to go on. They acceeded to her request and foot ball was saved for Georgia .. |. possibly for the south.'

 Europe's inability to get itself "soundly upon its economic feet" rather than debts and reparations, is the real cause of the depression there, Bickel said.
 'The mere forgiving of it's debt to the United States, Great Brit ain and France, while helpful, is not reaching the fundamentals of the problem" he said. 'No power in Europe can move effectively in this direction because of the in- ternal situation in each of the countries. It is the recognition of this fact that causes the ablest statesmen to look to America to supply the leadership they can not offer," he said.

 After the bitter session the zon- ing board reserved decision and later denied Mrs Archambault the permit she sought. It was announce

 ly all such plans have been dis carded.
 The land in question is listed in the zoning laws an available for business purposes. However, the
 zoning law does not permit gaso-
 line station to be erected with 200 feet of a church or theater. The
 Archam bault property is across the
 street from the Mill Plain Union ] church and the Pine Grove ceme- tery and the 200-foot clause in the zoning law was used as basis in opposing the proposed gas station permit.

 T am convinced, as I told Pres- ident Hoover and Senator Borah, that France, if left alone, can work out such a rapproachment."
 The premier revealed that he had invited both the president and Borah to visit France, although he did not believe they would be able to accept.
 Laval and his daughter, Josette, turned for home intensely pleased with their American trip. To the daughter there were many high lights, and from a chair on the sun deck this morning she drafted them in list:
 l. The New York skyline.

storm sewer to the attention of the board. When the job is com pleted, the lakes that have formed on the north side of the thorough fare after heavy rain storms and during the winter season when the weather is warm and thaws set in, will be things of the past.
 Numerous complaints concerning the water pits along the north side of the street have been received in the past. When Commissioner Fla herty proposed the installation of the sewer 1t was promptly ap- proved by Mayor Frank Hayes and subsequently, ordered by the works board.
 To-day workmen were busy rushing the new storm water sewer for Grand street, from Bank street to the post office building, to com pletion. As soon as this job Is done, it is believed, the men will be shifted to the East Main street project. The work will be on East Main street in view of the fact that comparatively new pavement will have to be tourn up to make the necessary improvement.
 Several sidewalk and curbing jobs in various parts of the city are also to be rushed so as to get the work completed before the se- were cold weather arrives.

 T would like to get on a train in New York and ride until I am tired and then get off, for every thing in America is so different from Europe that everywhere you go, there are sights to see."
 American women did not disap- point her. She declared they lived up to the reputation they enjoy abroad in being beautiful and graceful. Clothes, she found, are worn with good taste.

HARRIS PRAISES FACTORIES FOR RELIEF AID
NAVAL ECONOMY
 INSISTED UPON BY PRESIDENT
Issues Proclamation on
 Naval Day, Which Is Be- ing Celebrated in Many
 Sections

Washington. Oct 27--(U. P.) - Officially calling attention to to- days celebration of Navy Day, President Hoover issued procla- nation stressing that ''the first necessity of our government is the maintenance of navy so efficient and strong that, in conjunction with our army, no enemy may ever invade our country"
 At the same time, however, MT Hoover reiterated his desire. for world arms limitation and his in- sistence upon naval economy.
 Ours is force of defense, not offense," he said. ITO maintain forces less than that strength is to destroy national safety; to main tain greater forces is not only eco- homie injury to our people but a threat against our nefghbors and would be righteous cause for i'll will amongst them"
 The president recently demanded a slash of more than $50,000,000 in naval expenditures. In again em- phasizing the necessity for rigid economy, he said:
 "Our problem Is to assure ad- justment of our forces to the min- imum based upon the outlook in the world and to prevent extrem- ists on one side from undermining the public will; to support out necessary forces, and to prevent extremists on the other side from waste of public funds"
 Navy Day"-Theodore Roose- velt's birthday anniversary will be celebrated throughout the world by U. s. naval forces. Secretary Adams, Governor Albert c. Ritchie of Maryland, and Admiral William s. Benson, wartime chief of naval operations, will deliver addresses aboard the U. S. s. constitution at Baltimore. The new dirigible Akron will be formally commissioned at Lakehurst, N. J.

 Bossy loosed a devastating glance, then exclaimed:
 This ain't no fy-by.nignt pa per, It's an institution. It's already so popular it looks like we'd nave to change 1t from weekly to daily. Why. see what that says?" His honor's pudgy finger indicated a paragraph in a column entitled s.Asbestorettes'' on page two.
 "Forty thousand people, 1t pro- claimed. twill read Asbestos today. This paper reaches every state Tn the union and every country in the universe (including. presumably the Scandinavian)." .,
 Bossy admitted Asbestos would have to depend on its own popu- larity for most of it's growth, he being rather preoccupied as may or. proprietor of a filling station where you get eight gallons for a dollar, and owner of shoe fac tory employing 60 hands. However. he thought he might be able to squeeze out of his busy program an afternoon or two per week for his blue pencil activities.
 Asbestos is less than a fortnight old but its columns already have bristled with brickbats of criticism tossed by the mayor at his numer- ous political and personal enemies.
 For example, Bossy dedicated an entire column to denuncia- ton of Judge Nathaniel Jones for the manner in which the latter handled a drunkenness case. Ii was in Judge Jones' court that Bossy. while mayor. was convicted of violating a zoning ordinance and jailed.
 Another column was devoted to a "blow-by- blow" description of a fist fight Bossy had with President Eugene Twomey of the city coun- cil. Editor Gillis managed to de- scribe this bout without refiecting any particular glory upon Twomey.
 Oscar Nelson. whom Bossy beat by 495 votes in the mayoralty con- test four years ago, and Michael Cashman. whom Bossy beat by 40 votes two years ago, also have been targets for pointed editorial comment.

 The s5-year-old 22o-pound may or-editor has an eye for business as we'll as nose for news.

FREE MEN-NOT FREEDMEN
By Hill Billy, in Seattle Star

By Hill Billy, in Seattle Star
 Altho regard, and have frequently given public witness the American Civil Liberties u2oI: as one of the few organizations in this nation worthy the support of liberal, yet know that the Civil Liberties Union never give free speech to the majority of men, because the ma jority of men have no desire for free speech, n1r anything to say if they had free speech.
 More and more I coming to see singla- minded with prophets like Emerson, Thoreau' Stirner-the fatherhood of this Hoy Trinity. Coming to see that liberty, like true religion, comes from the heart out and never be be- slowed. You can't free slave. You can merely make freedman out of him. You can remove his chains and you can free his white master from the disgrace of being savedriver, but you have rot made free of the slave. Only the slave can do that for himself.
 Many idealists hope for an Utopia wherein everyone will attain economic independence We may be able to abolish certain hoggish, grating aggregations of great wealth and political power, but We will never donate economic independence to the many until the many, individual by 1ndivlo~ ual attains economic independence for himself
 Men did not grant equal suffrage to women. The women took the suffrage when enough of them escaped from the chains of the church anl masculine state to get rid of the slave complex.
 "All freedom is essentially self liberation. can only have so much freedom as I procure it for myself by my ownness OF WHAT USE IS IT FOR SHEEP THAT NO ONE BRIDGES THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
