Northwestern has new Riley as
a candidate for its football team.
For five years a Riley, Of the
Wilmette, H., Rileys, has held
down a tackle position at Evanston.

who was graduated last spring.
Now comes Frank, a sophomore, to
carry on the tradition. He weighs
100, as compared with Jacks 22C
pounds, and Bills 235 He is fast
and shifty and will play guard.

Free State Pros
Want ''POliticaI
Borders" Lifted

BERLIN, Aug. 3l-Professional
golfers of the Irish Free State
are agitating for the removal of
barriers that obstruct their activi-
ties.
They feel that their livelihoods
are suffering because of what they
term political borders" and they
wish to dispense with them SO far
as sport is concerned.
For English tournaments, Free
State golfers are classed as ''over-
seas" players, and are therefore
required to qualify on British cours-
es Northern Ireland professionals
on the other hand, may qualify in
their own country.
The Free State players are eager
to return to the order that existed
before the establishment of home
rule, and for purposes of golf have
no borders, but one united Ireland.

 "How do you put him in with Newton Baker, John W. Davis, Al Smith, and Carter Glass? We used to think of them as the typical democrats. Maybe there's going to be a Third Party again, in 1886, dad"
 THIRD PARTIES FLOP 1T doubt it." replied Pa Jones, growing serious. Third parties have always been poison to the vot- CTS in this country. Look at the Prohibition. Know-Nothing, Social ist, Communist, Bull Moose, Popu- list, and .Greenback movements. All Hops.
 Its a two-party country and a darned good thing, too. Look at those European countries where there are about 20 parties and the one that gets in is bound to be small minority of all the voters even if it's the biggest. GA party like that can't do any, thing after it gets in,, and the coun- try falls. apart. It's happened. over and over again." :

 But they are still there, ready 10 swing to whatever party offers them the nearest thing to their own program.
 Looks to me-, observed Pa Jones, "as though the real political battle is going to be inside the parties themselves. Whats the re- publican party going to do? I don't take any stock in this talk that it's dead.
 ,'It all depends on what direction 1t goes. You notice that even ogden Mills is now for .unemploy- ment insurance, and Senator Van denberg goes for most of the New Deal program. ,hsx

 "Of course they aren't parties, but they are bound to have an effect on parties, and any one of them might turn into a party" WANTS CLEAN-CUT DIVISION
 Yes, but in addition I see where some fellow counted 79 different Third Party moves in the country, to-day. Don't know how many of 'em will hang on until 1936., But maybe by that time the republi- cans and democrats will have shaken the thing down so there,ll be clear choice between 'em.
 "It ought to be in general a choice between progressive and onservative-and if they don't give us some such choice as that, some body else will.
 "In general, think of the demo- cratic party as progressive and the republican as conservative and I think most of the people are the same way. That's choice enough for me, without having 57 varieties of isms' to choose from"

Nearly three hundred were in play at the two places and Tn addition, there were a number of tables playing at home. Not only was there a remarkable at tendance but the event was char acterized by an amazing display of excellent community spirit.
 At intervals during the evening there were entertainment numbers. These were furnished by Ernest Zeidler and Victor Neff, who rem dered guitar and banjo selections; Ruth Martin and Freddy Caligan, dance team extraordinary; little Pauline Meyers and Ellen Mc- Mahon whose waltz clog was well done; military tap dances by Miss Scheneider; and Kenneth Fullar's baritone solos, "I Love Life", "Give Man a Good Horse" and Drink to Thee Only With Thine Eyes" Miss Alice Lorenson played Full ler's accompaniments and the mu- sic for Martin and Caligan was played by George Grenier.

GETTING READY
Good Evening.

Up in the attic down in the cellar Hideouts for the children's toys; It's a problem how to dispose of the stuff Without detection and with very little noise Under beds, locked in dressers Endless presents are stuck when bought; Counting up and keeping track Requires no end of thought. Then comes the task of doing up With pretty wrappings and ribbons to adorn; This buying and hiding is nice and all But don't you long for Christmas morn!!

The Germans have good system
of gathering money for their COM

in Berlin a whole week and started
with the military bands playing in
the important public places.
The air minister, Goering, dressed
in one of his most sho,Dy uniforms,
and Publicity Minister Goebbels
Walked the main thoroughtares So
liciting funds for the poor. 1t
appears that Goebbels is more pop
nlar than his military colleague,
despite Goering's splendid uniform.
The Berliners 1OeTe so anxious to
see the propaganda minister and
take a momento of him that Dithin
an hour Goebbels clothes Dere torn
and he had to 90 to the Adlon
Hotel to put on neU suit.
Famous and popular actors and
especially actresses, tennis players
and singers ratified their collection
boxes under the nose Of the popula-
tion. The inhabitants of Berlin gave
gladly every cent they could spare,
but also took from the collectors all
they could get. At the end of the
day the handsome actors and the
pretty actresses were actually in rags.
Storm troopers had to protect a par
popular actress from being
completely disrobed by the mob of
fans.
