SEEK
To DEVELOP
CHARACTER
By HARRY COSTELLO

American University offers an
admirable example to the rest
of the country in the matter Of
inter Sllegiate football.
Out on the campus at Nebraska
and Massachusetts, Avenues. in
tercollegiate competitions-includ-
ing football-rre supported by
students and faculty for the
wholesome fun and recreation
athletics give, and to develop
qualities of character in the
players.
The athletic environment
might we'll have been conceived
and developed by an idealist, 1T
is that clean and refreshing.
There can be no such thing
as over er-emphasis of football at
American University, and, while
victory is something to be de-
sired it is not set up as the
only objective. American U. has
struck a nice balance in her
athletic policies. Her coaches in
athletics, men and women, feel
that oharacter is caught, not
taught, and they organize prac-
tice sessions in all forms OF spo
with the thought in mind OF
catching and developing Charac-
ter.
Team Has Improved
If you would see athletics in
their proper place in an educa-
tional system, go out to Amer
ican University.
This years American University
grid team is a vast Improvement
over that of 1881. Painstaking
and patient coaching by Walter
Young, who knows just exactly
what his objective is, have
worked wonders in single
season. Some notion of the
improvement of the team may be
noted from the fact that in 1881
Hampden-Sydney won over the
Eagles, 40 to 0, while this year
American lost by a score of 81
to 10, coming back in the second
half to score two touchdoWnS.
Many of the candidates for
this years team did not play
the game before entering Amer
ican. The development of several
of these men has been nothing
short of phenomenal.
The teams line averages about
100 pounds, while the line will
average five pounds less. Due to
difficulties in developing men
from a small squad of 26 men.
Coach Young is forced to change
men around.
Orville Targee and Al Buffing-
ton are the ends. Targee is the
fastest man on the squad and
a good pass receiver. Burlington
never played before last year, but
is developing rapidly.
Two Forward PaSSers
Henry Johnson and Scott
Champion are the tackles. The
latter scales ITO and is the
heaviest man on the team.
Lee ESper and Fred johnson
are the tackles. Neither played
football before entering Ameri
can. Esper weighs only $50
pounds.
John Mohr plays center. He
had a bit of experience in high
school.
Among the backfield men are
two forward passers, Forest
Diehl and Edward Parke; an ex-
cellent defensive man, George
Borsari; Chester Bowers, who
weighs 130, plays quarterback
and is good broken field run
ner; Floyd Clarke, another half
back; Henry Johnson and Al
Burlington, who are moved into
the backfield on occasions to at
tain a measure of attacking
strength.
Fred johnson is often shifted
to center, when his services are
required at that position.
Reserves include George Bevis,
tackle, who never played be-
fore last year; Harlin Hendrick,
guard; Wayne Larson. an end,
and Floyd MacLindon, who plays
either guard or tackle.
The squad gives every indiCa,
ton of improving through the
remainder of the season.

4 DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

IGNORANCE, filth, darkness and
i cruelty marked the Russia of the
late seventeenth century. An orr
entail car ruled in the Kremlin, and
ring Of greedy mobiles ground the
luckless peasants into the dirt.
Compared with the rest of Europe,
Russia was sunk deep in hopeless
barbariSm.
And then along came q boyish
car who liked to play with SOL
diers, but who had the saving grace
of being willing to learn; and he
pitched in to bring his great, in
dolent country up to date.
All of this is described in ''Peter
the Great" by Alexei Tolstoi, book
partly biography and partly fiction,
and which probably best can be de-
scribed as a historical novel.
The first part of the book is the
most forceful. In it there is a clear
picture of the strange, crazy mess
into which affairs at Moscow had
got; the turmoil of stupidity, terror
and fitful rage which possessed all
Russian society.
There is, also, a good description
of the slow development of Peter;
how he began by maintaining q
play army" on the palace grounds,
how he made friends with the for
eign merchants in Moscow and
learned from them how backward
his country really was, how he
toured Europe, working in shipyards
and factories to school himself, and
how he finally returned to begin
a job of remodeling which makes
Stains Five-Year Plan look simple.
But the book ends too abruptly.
The author brings you to his climax
and then quits on you. Maybe
that's all right, if you're familiar
with Russian history. If, like me,
you aren't, it's disconcerting.
In the main, though, you'll find
"Peter the Great" worth reading. 1t

drop lamp.
There was a bathroom that also
had been designed for some other
purpose. It's old-faShioned white
tub was nothing like the shining
rose and silver bath Of the dressing
room that had been Cherry's in her

The lion, charging futilely, had lost his own
meat and Tarzans too. But the unexpected
happened! A terrified buck blind to all save
the single thought of escape, was boiling
straight for the tree in which the ape-man sat.
AS it came beneath him, a sleek brown body
shot head foremost from the foliage, steel
fingers gripped the throat Of the buck, strong
teeth fastened in its neck. The weight of the
savage hunter carried the quarry to its knees.

wrench broke It's neck.

Without backward glance the ape-man
threw the carcass to his shoulder and sprang
for the nearest tree. Scarce had he drawn
himself to safety before the great cat crashed
across the spot where Tarzan had stood.

turned to glare up at the ape-man perched
above him. Tarzan grinned. Son of Dango.

Your Hea aIth
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
Everybody ought to know
that lye is dangerous for chill
dren, but everybody doesn't act
on that knowledge. At least,
from the grisly accounts Of
children swallowing lye and
burning the mouth and gullet
that are in the newspapers al
most daily.
In any household where there
is a young child, crawling or
toddling, there should be no
can of lye on the floor Or on
any shelf within three feet OF
the floor. 1t is remarkable
what they can get into. Apc
their curious little minds make
them want to do what any
young animal does put a
strange or unfamiliar substance
into their mouths. The result
may be death, or, almost worse:
one of those terrible burns OF
the esophagus which results In
a lot of scar tissue formation
with hardly enough opening IN
the gullet to let milk through.
You think Of lye as danger
Gus. but not cathartic pills or
dusting or talcum powder. Yet
these may be even more DAN
gerous to the baby than lye.
Never let the baby play with
an open can of powder. Why?
The reason is explained in that
excellent book of DR.. Frederick
F.. TisdalPs, "The Home Care
of Infant and Child" as fol-
lows:
Inhalation of zinc powder.
Many busting powders contain
zinc stearate. An infant lying
on his back and playing with
a tin of powder may readily
open it and inhale the powder.
If much is inhaled it invariably
produces a severe and often
fatal pneumonia. For this
reason it is important to see
that infants do not play with
tins or boxes containing dust
ing powders. Self closing tins
can now be obtained, or corn
starch may be used as a
powder"
The danger from cathartic
pills comes from strychnine
poisoning. 1t is surprising to
know that strychnine poisoning
is among the most frequent
causes of accidental death in
children. How does the child
get strychnine" you ask. You
have no Strychnine in the
house, you think. But you
have, as an ingredient Of
cathartic pills and cold pills.
When a child gets a bottle
Of pills, especially chocolate or
sugar-coated, and begins to eat
them it goes on eating until it
has consumed SO or 100. Each
pill contains a very small dose
of Strychnine but the combined
amount is enough to produce

Suppose your husband doesn't

not. They drop love-making

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

came acquainted with a young
man, and have been seeing him
about once every two weeks
for two years. He didn't men
ton marriage, or give me any
reason to think he was serious,
until about a month ago. I
Immediately told him that I
did not think seriously about
him. He was very much upset,
and we didn't see each other
for several weeks. Then he
called me again and asked to
see me, explaining that he un-
derstood how I felt and would
like to be friends at least. He
loves me dearly and cannot
give me up but I want to do
exactly what is right. Would
you advise me to continue see
ing him?
Doubtful
This is one of the most diff
cult types of love to refuse
the faithful, dogged type that
asks only an opportunity to see
YOU once. in a while. 1t seems
only kind to grant this, pro
vided the young mans unhappi-
ness is not increased. Are you
quite sure that you cannot
feel a deeper interest in him?
Such faithful, devoted charac-
ters are a little rare in these
days.
