"Gather around, my children,
IL you wanna hear how we are
going to try to beat Tech,

and win the interhigh school
football title"
While these are not the words,
or perhaps not even the senti-
ments of Lynn Woodworth, Busi-
ness High hard-working grid
coach. has been gathering his
youngsters around him the last
few days for intensive skull prac-
tice.
Cooped up in his little office,
just off Business Highs old
fashioned but convenient gym, he
has been spending the last few
days patiently and repeatedly drill.
ing his backs into the intricate
mysteries Of the various plays he
has conceived.
When he is busy elsewhere,
the candidates gather around his
desk and fire questions at each
other, interspersed with r1any
caustic remarks regarding each
others intelligence and ability to
remember.
Woodworth is exceptionally for
tunate this year. He has eight
veterans back in the fold, besides
a turnout of sturdy and alert
looking lads, a squad of %.
Three of the prodigaIs, Capt.
Tony MastrOmarinO, Bob Cook
and "Stew" Donnan, are three
year men. They return with
added "beef" and imbued with
the Frank MerriwelI spirit of
"dO or die" for good, old BuSi-
ness.
All % of Lynn's kids are eager
to sop up all the information
that the serious-minded and
sorely beset coach hands out.
1t is obvious that they have the
highest regard for him and un-
derstand the difficulties with
which he has to contend.
The holdovers besides those al
ready mentioned, all of whom
are linesmen. are Fuzzy" Fur,
Chubby" Kollinsky, also lines
men; Dutch" Strasser, quarter
back, and Milt Jacobson and
"Huck" Cavanaugh, halfbacks.
Woody" has sandwiched in
several likely looking newcomers
in the open positions among his
veterans. Larry Flynn has all the
earmarks of a fine fullback.
AS the team had its second time
out on the field only today, Wood
worth is still undecided regarding
his choice for the right tackle and
the left end assignments. Fred
Taylor and jake Friedman are
battling for the tackle berth and
"Toots" Reeves, Joe Sherman.
Tom Orme, Jimmy Garner and
Buddy Preston are in the running
for the end position.
Johnny Hallett, peppery
catcher on the ball team, and
Fred Hill are reserve backs,
while "OsSie" Fox and AL
MarasciO are promising guard
material.

season dope, and Mike Kelly put

Stenogs can't seriously consider
themselves as titular prospects.

afternoons unpleasant for the con-
tenders, and that will more than
buoy them over the season. Too,
there is always an outside chance
of taking one of the naughty CO.
horts over the = W. k. bumps catch

ably the one exception to this
may develop on the Pacific coast.

of big teams hooking up in an
early season game that may pro.

In the southern sector, North
Carolina plays Wake Forest
and Texas plays Simmons.
Other games pair Texas A. and
M. and Southwestern, Tulane

Practically every team in the
East swings into action, and Chi.
cago and Minnesota lead the way
for the big ten teams by playing
double-headers. Two weeks Of
practice hardly is enough to pre-
pare for an opening game, how.

Bad manners on the part of drivers
are held by many authorities to be
the principal cause of automobile
accidents.
According to traffice engineers
and statisticians, the accident rate
would drop to minimum if drivers
would display little courtesy in
operating their cars by giving way
when other machines are passing !,
and would discontinue crowding
cars coming in opposite directions,
the unnecessary use of loud horns,
driving slowly in the midst of fast
moving traffic, etc.
Good driving manners can cover a
multitude of other failings. The
driver who resents passing cars,
who attempts to hold an undue share
OF the road, who has no respect for
the rights of the pedestrian or other
motorists, is a potential killer and
destroyer of property. 1t is against
him that future highway safety cam
paigns must be conducted if they are
show results.

It has been forecast that by 1910 the
consumption of electricity in this
country will have increased to 49,
600, 600 kilowatt-hours annually.
This is somewhat amazing state
ment as only 100000 kilowatt-
hours were generated in 1880.
and as electric service already goes
to 100000 of the 100000
American homes. However, these
100000 dwelling places are moi
truly Electrified" In the modern
home of the future, the owner will
press button and electricity will
do the rest. Where homes now use
$50 kilowatt-hours of current year,
those of tomorrow will use 1000 tc
5000. The home of 1910 or 1850
will be as superior to those of the
present as they, in turn, are to those
of 1900.

BOARD OF STRATEGY

One of the most significant events
in connection with prohibition activi-
ties during the past ten years is the
creation of a Board of Strategy, rep
resenting the organized temperance
forces of the United States of
America.
This Board of Strategy is the Off
cial agency created and empowered
by the organized temperance move
ments of the nation for a specific
task.
The National Conference of Organ
izations Supporting the Eighteenth
Amendment might well be called the
official federation. 1t is delegated
body. Its membership is composed
of official delegates selected by
thirty-three national temperance or
CARNATIONS. Each such organization
selects its own representatives on
the control board.
Created in the beginning for joint
Legislative activities, this Conference,
at its last annual session, was enlarg-
ed and its powers extended until il
has become in many ways the agency
which speaks officially for the organ
lied prohibition forces on many i'm
portant phases of the prohibition
question.

SEES SILVER LINING

There is, in the vision of Henry
Ford, silver lining to the dark cloud
of business depression which has en-
veloped the world in recent months.
He looks upon the present situation
as being "a wholesome thing. in gen.
eral," according to an interview in
the American Automobile. The man.
ufaturer said:
''The depression, has done less
harm to the people and the country
than continuance of our previous
false prosperity would have done.
'More people will survive this
period than would have survived a
continuance of the former period.
Our so-called prosperity was moi
prosperity in any sense. 1t did
great harm to business and to the
morale Of the people.
'The depression will be broken
when % people cease to believe thai
something can be obtained for moth
ing; q when the people get back
their self-dependence; that is, when
they cease to lean on the initiative
of few either to provide work OF
charity and g. when the public un
derstanding is capable of seeing thai
the profit of life is life and no
money"

A GLIMPSE OF THE REAL
GEORGE WASHINGTON

On this day, October %, one hum
dred and forty-six years ago, there &C.
CURED little incident that the busy
world of today would overlook, but
for single fact. The fact is that
the incident concerns George Wash
lington, in whose every act we be-
gin to be interested as the country
approaches the celebration next year
to the Two Hundredth Anniversary
of His Birth. This particular incl
dent is worth recalling, moreover,
because it gives us a glimpse of the
real George Washington.
The year was 1885. The United
States had been established under
Washington's leadership, and the
Commander-in-Chief had sheathed his
sword, returning his commission to
the Continental Congress, and re-
firing to his beloved Mount Vernon
to enjoy well-earned rest, and to
interest himself in the farming and
commercial projects which he had
been thinking about for long time.
One of these was the development
of navigation on the James and Poto-
mac Rivers. Now that peace had
been restored, this development of
navigation had reached the point of
incorporation, and Washington's
native State of Virginia wished to
give him block of shares, in the
navigation company, even more as
mark of affection than as trifIing
reward for his public service.
Washington, we are informed by
the United States George Washington
Bicentennial Commission, was deep
ly touched by both these considera-
tons, and as deeply troubled by the
problem of declining the gift without
giving hurt and offence. Never be-
fore had he consented to receive
payment for his labors in the public
good, and he would not, even under
these circumstances, break his iron
rule in such matters. Being George
Washington, he found the happiest
way out of the difficulty, which was
to accept the shares on behalf of the
public. In the end, this gift of
Virginia to George Washington was
devoted to the establishment of free
schools for poor children, particular
ly the children of patriots who had
fallen in defense of their country.
Thus did Washington more than
match, with his own grace, the good
will rendered him by his devoted
and affectionate Virginians. Even
the language he used in doing so is
of interest, as a perfect example of
the ceremonious courtesy that he
observed in all his dealings. Patrick
Henry was then Governor of
Virginia.
