did expect the representatives OF

Hoover is reelected they viii have

The Ford Motor Company advo-
Gates reelection of MIR. Hoover,
stating that any break in the Hoo
yer program will hurt industry.
This no doubt was put before the
Ford employees to intimidate them,
and ! think nothing less than a
threat to force them TO vote for
Hoover. Mr.. Ford recently made a
drastic reduction in wages, maybe
he is afraid that If Mr.. Hoover is
not reelected it will hurt his pro-
gram of wage Slashing. I hope the
men employed by Mr.. Ford viii re-
spond to his threat by going to the
polls and voting against Hoover,
even if they intended to vote for
him prior TO this threat. If a man
were to come to me with the threat

TN a world in which very much
Il now is amiss, it is pleasant to
find that at least one pressing prob
lem is being solved by the depres-
sion. I refer to the overemphasis
placed upon intercollegiate football.
With sparsely filled bowls at New
Haven and Cambridge last Satur-
day, it becomes evident that causes
very remote from the campus are
working to give the game back to
the boys"
If things move as they now are
proceeding, we may find football
back in the good old days of its in
fancy, when the chief rivals engaged
in combat before nothing more
than small knot of relatives and
friends. No more will each move
be tossed through the ether on wide
hook-ups, and in another ten years
the adjectives of announcers will be
reserved for cigarets, rather than
quarter backs.

these functions satisfactorily with
greatly reduced and scattered ranks.
1t is probably no mere figure of
speech to say that under those cir
cumstanceS such a communistic
bird would lose heart nor is it
fanciful to suppose that steriIity
might in consequence affect the
remnants"
When the white man first ar
rived on this continent, the carrier
pigeon was present in incredible

The American naturalist, Alexan-
der Wilson, calculated that there
were 1.-TWO billion birds in a flock
which flew over Frankfort, KY, in
1882.
The flock took four hours to pass
and Wilson estimated that it was
24O miles long and a mile wide. He
says that the sky was darkened bv
their great numbers.

unfortunately" says Arthur @
Bent, ornithologist, who has pre-
pared brief report on the subiect
Tor the Smithsonian institution
the mourning dove often is mis-
taken for the passenger pigeon. In
the west, the band-taiIed pigeon has
oeen mistaken similarly.
IL seems to be a common idea
that the passenger pigeon easily is
recognized by its size, which is larr-
er than that of the mourning dove
All ornithologists know how decen-
tive size can be.
Even to an expert ornitholooist
a mourning dove may look as large
as a passenger pigeon. The fact
that the observer may have seen
thousands of these birds in previous
years, and has handled and plucked
them, does not necessarily mean he
is good judge of the bird"
Among the stories circulated TO
account for the extinction of the
passenger pigeon are tales of forest
nreS, tornadoes, epidemics of dis
ease, and drowning of large numbers
OF the birds.
One story is that they became ex-
hausted while flying over the GuIf
OF Mexico and that immense MN
bers fell in and were drowned
Ihere seems to be many stories in
circulation that the birds existed in
large numbers and then suddenly
were wiped out.
1t is believed by some that the
bird still exists in small numbers
IN remote parts Of northern Michi-
gan and Canada, Bent says.

Passenger Pigeons, Once MI

in United States.
THE passenger pigeon has gone
= the way of the dodo. It is
extinct. Once 1t was ole Of the
most abundant creatures upon the
North American continent.
But the last one died in 1914 and
its stuffed form now graces a shelf
in one Of the exhibition rooms Of
the Smithsonian institution of
Washington.
During the last few years there
have been frequent reports that the
passenger pigeon still exists in re-
mote localities.
Letters frequently are received BY
various institutions from persons
claiming to have seen one.
Inc SHltnSO0lan institution be-
lieves that all plausible clews
should be investigated. Neverthe-
less, it feels certain that the pas
Senger pigeon is extinct.
The last authentic report Of the
bird being seen in the wild state
was received in 1898.
The last known passenger pigeon
died in captivity in the Cincinnati
zoo at p. m. on Sept. /, 1914. That
day marked the closing chapter in
the book of what man had done to
the passenger pigeon.
For it was the spread of the CITY
the cutting down of the forests. and
the slaughter of the pigeons by the
thousands that led to theix ex-
tinction.

We have learned through our

the Hoover program is not good for

fact since the beginning Of the
Harding administration.
This greatest nation of ours is

The Presidents Imagined
Po10er Is Largely a Matter
of Political Pose.
NEW YORK. Oct. 27-A Presi-
~ dent Of the United States is
not the all-powerful autocrat that
our style of campaigning suggests,
or that many people believe.
He can exercise a certain amount
of influence over public policy and
legislation, provided he possesses
the right kind of personality, but he
can do very little by himself, or on
his own motion.
A President Of the United States
necessarily is under great obliga-
ton to his party. He can not defy
its traditions, or ignore its advice
on patronage, without grave risks.
He must cooperate with the
crowd back of him. must consult
not only official advisers, but with
those who have nothing to warrant
it, except the votes they control, or
the contributions they make.
A President of the United States
is greatly dependent on congress.
He can not make important APP
pointments, or conclude treaties,
without advice and consent of the
senate.
He can not obtain funds with
which to run the government, ex-
cept congress is willing to grant
them. He can not get a single law
enacted, unless congress is willing,
or veto one if two-thirds of house
and senate favor it.
He can, however, be impeached
and put out of Office by congress.

Congress- Is important

MANY democracies have sue
1V1 cumbed to the same careless
form of thinking, to an uncon-
scious abandonment of the legisla-
tive branch of government for the
speedier course of one-man dom
ination.
We Americans are unwise to be-
little congress, even for the sake
Of whoopla. Congress is the one
branch of this government which
guarantees its republican form, or
through which anything like a pop
ular expression of opinion can be
written into law.
Congress is the essence of our
Constitution. Let it fade out of the
picture, even by appearance, and
this government will become the
mere shadow of what it was in
tended to become.
Congress deserves far more at
tention than it has been getting in
the last few years, not only by way
of respect, but by way of contact
with the people.

Largely a Pose

TINE Presidents imagined power
4 is largely matter of political
pose. AS a candidate. he becomes
the front and shoulders of his party
His most trivial phrases are picked
up and repeated as though they
were of superhuman importance.
His opinions, even when carelessiy
expressed, are accepted as sure to
become part of the nations law or
policy in case of his election. ~
We sidetrack everything for the
presidential candidate in our ma
tional campaigns. That is one
reason why we get no better results
Of vastly more consequence, it
represents a dangerous drift in the
popular attitude.
An outsider would be justified in
supposing that this campaign was
for the purpose of choosing a dicta-
tor, instead of representative
government.
He would see and hear little to
indicate interest in the legislative
branch, save the demand for repeal
of prohibition. Even in that parti-
cular, he would find the expressions
of President Hoover and Governor
Roosevelt carrying great weight.
He would gather that while con-
gresional action might be necessary
for repeal, a President could force
it, and that a candidates promise to
do so was equivalent to a guarantee.
He would gather that most people
had come to look upon a presiden-
tial candidate in that light, not only
with regard to prohibition, but other
issues.
He would take all this clamor for
announcements on the bonus as
implying a general belief in a Presi-
dents power to get things done. If
he were a philosopher, he would re-
gard all this as tending toward die
tatorShip.

CLUBFOOT first was described
~ by the father of scientific
medicine, the great Greek physi-
clan, HippocrateS.
He recommended that a child
born with its feet twisted be sub
jected to repeated manipulations,
and that bandages then be applied
to hold the foot in place until it
healed properly.
AS time went on, various surgeons
studied the question more scien-
tificallly with view to producing
not only a foot that looked well,
but also foot that would be as use
full as possible.
The methods of treatment OF
clubfeet have varied and changed
from early operative methods, which
involved removal Of portions of bone

ulative methods which involved

The leaders of the great tradition
in this section of the country are
mostly fallen upon more or less evil
days.
Last year Princeton football grew
so feeble as to be a matter which
the student body tried it's very best
to forget. Certainly it was nothing
to sit up nights about, and even a
short cheer could be accomplished
onlv by allowing each rooter the
privilege of keeping his tongue in
his cheek.
The ugly scandal was circulated
that Princeton had gone smooth. !"
And this means that some of the
undergraduates actually were read
ing books and INDUCING in con-
versation about Hemingway, Gather,

The score of each game when duly
posted served to drive the students
deeper and deeper into Intellectual
activities. 1t was bad football

born.
At New Haven this year there are
brighter prospects than have been
known at Yale for many decades.
I mean for poets. essayists, and
those who want to take a fling In
fiction.
The fact that Yale so far has
failed to win a single game should
serve to send a thrill Of pride along
the spine Of the entire English de-
partment. 1t may even inspire the
chemists. the LatinistS, and the
Greeks.
Those old rough edges which were
used to scarify opponents have been
worn down nightly since the be-
ginning Of the season. Yale has
grown sniooth with vengeance in
everything save its running attack
