FOOT BALL IS OLD GAME

BERKELEY. Calf September S GP).-
Foot ball in the sixteenth century did
not differ great deal from the present
game.
Prof Rudolph Altrocchi head Of the
Italian department of the University Of
California, has made this discovery.
The paraphernalia and rules used by
gridiron warriors in Florence, Italy. 400
years ago were similar to those of pres
ent-day use One difference, Altrocchi
says. was the number of men on a
team, 81 PLAYERS taking part on each
team in the good old days.

admitted the fairness Of the
punishment. Yet
THERE WAS SOMETHING
IN YOU WHICH INSISTED
THAT YOU WE'RE NOT A
LIAR, A BRUTE, A COWARD
OR A FOOL, THOUGH YOU
MIGHT ACT LIKE ONE.
You clung to that secret con-
viction, through all outward cir
cumStance. You clung to your
belief in yourSelf-to your self
respect-to that little part of
God which you call your
PRIDE. For you felt that was
the TRUE part of your life
you felt that your PRIDE
expressed the REAL YOU.
And it did. Your outer acts
are not your real self. They are
only clumsy gestures. Your real
self lives in the secret places of
your PRIDE.
There, in your PRIDE, you
dream your great dreams. There
you dare to reveal your actual
hopes and fears And your
PRIDE is the most sensitive
and powerful point in your life.
It is the point where you can be

Another Slap at
Just a Husband"

Editor, Times:
I read the letter signed by
"Just a Husband" which really
should have been Just a Fool"
Yes, poor, selfish fool.
His article sounded like a
cheap novel, written for effect
only. He says he's out tramp
ing all day for Worthwhile the
truth is maybe three or four
prospects, perhaps a chance
meeting with an old friend, a
chat, window shopping, but
the whole day is surely not
spent in searching for work,
for certainly some job would
have been found, small as it
may be, if only driving a taxi.
He also says "She" grabs the
paper to see God knows
what" Dear fellow, did it ever
occur to you that she is prob
ably looking for the grocery ad
to see how cheap tomorrow'S
meal is going to be? Did you
ever stop to think of that? It's
tough when one is out of a job
its true, but doesn't a man
grab the paper the first thing
when he comes home? Haven't
you just got the places reversed
and it hurts, doesn't it?
Isn't your wife doing more
than her share? She didn't
agree to support you when she
married you. You should get
down on your knees and thank
God that you have a wife who
is capable of working and not
just a beautiful but dumb
wife" Working in some old
office or store seven or eight
hours a day, bringing home the
rent and grocery money. She's
out with her shoulder to the
wheel while you try to ridicule
her through the newspapers.
Don't you suppose she's the
one that deserves cheer and
praise. Not you. What you
need is darn good shaking to
wake you out of your dream
about YOU the poor husband
whose wife is working for him.
You'll have a lot to do before
you deserve any cheer or praise
from your wife, or any one else.

clothes for a long time and
has dreams of new outfit

ONCE-OVERS
On Taking Orders

You believe that your boss
gains satisfaction in complain
ing about your work.
You think he has something
against you and wants to
humiliate you.
Is that a sensible viewpoint?
If you were delivering the
service he wants, he couldn't
object.
He seeks results that are for
the best interests of the firm.
He has more important work
than picking flaws in your
work.
He wants to be relieved of
such trivial things.
He would like to feel he can
trust you to do your work with
out watching.
Of course he will complain If
you don't meet requirements.
His methods may not be in
accord with yours-yours may
be better.
But after all he pays you to
perform your work as he wants
it done!
It is up to you to forget your
self and your own ideas when
you work under q boss.
