w WITH international yacht
M racing, international polo
v v the Presidents Cup re-
gatta and numerous other
events in the background, and big
league base ball nearing its end, the
stage rapidly is being cleared for foot
ball. And, rather gently, it is true,
as far as local gridirons are cen
cerned, the pigskin chasers begin
their annual Fall scramble. Neverthe-
less, they begin, and a beginning is
only an appetizer for the main part
of the banquet that follows in short
order.
The two games scheduled here
tomorrow, George Washington VS..
Shepherd College and Maryland VS..
st. Johns, may not develop anything
extraordinary in the way of brilliant
tactics, blocking or any of the other
fundamental things that 60 to maize
up the great Fall game, but not only
will partiSanS of the two elevenS ger
out in force to take a look at their
idols, but many others interested in
foot ball of any kind also are sure TO
have a seat somewhere in the stands.

II nent is likely to be- as the
small boy might say, duck

that Shepherd College has the least
chance in the world against the DOW
erful Colonials has some knowledge
not in possession of the noble scribe5
who write pieces about the gridiron.

watching both teams practice, made
the public statement that Maryland
would have its hands full and tha.

out on top One thing is certain

These first games, though, for
coaches are something of a night
mare. 1t is not so much that the
coach does not have confidence in his
team, but his mental attitude is the
same as must be the airplane pilot S
when he takes aloft ship for the
first time. 1t is test in both cases
that is just as sure to create nervous
ness and uneasiness as young man S
first visit in his long pants to see
q girl.
The first games are a test for an
untried machine, and while it may be
built along the same lines as the
previous machines of the same kind
there never is any telling where a
part may be weak.

MANY Colonials Nav Plav,

ITO MEET its first test George
Washington will start an eleven
made up mainly of veterans
with good reserves on the sidelines
many of whom are brilliant sophs. 1t
should win by big score and give all
its men opportunity to play.
Maryland will send against st. Johns
an untried team, but with a goodly
sprinkling of letter men to bolster
up those who are in their first year
of college foot ball. The Old Liners
also are better fixed than usual for
reserves.
Not much is known of the two teams
that are to play here. Shepherd Col
lege is hardly in a class with first
rate elevens. but will put on the field
a team with husky line. st. Johns
has a fine nucleus of veterans in its
lineup. Its line from tackle to tackle
is known to be very strong, while two
of its backs are of proved ability.
The George Washington-Shepherd
game starts at 2:30 at Central Sta
dium. Maryland entertains st. Johns
at College Park at o'clock.

A FORTUNE OUT OF AIR

Shortly after the close of the civil war
young inventor, Just past 81, endeavored
to interest old Commodore Vanderbilt in a
new brake for railroad trains, to be oper-
ated by compressed air.
After listening with impotence to the
proposition, the Commodore asked whether
the inventor really meant that he could
stop rushing train with nothing but air.
He was answered in the affirmative.
'"Then get out of here" he said, 81
have no time to waste on fools"
The young inventor was George West
inghouse, who shortly afterward perfected
his air brake and after many discourage
ments succeeded in placing it on the mar
ket.
To make his triumph complete, the
first big order for the new Westinghouse
air brake came from Commodore Wander
bit.
This invention and others made West
inghouse fortune and when he died in
1914 he was rated among the wealthy men
of America, the use of his air brake hav-
ing become almost universal.
His early struggles were typical of
those of many other young men with an
idea and nothing else, but he was more
fortunate than most of them He did ulti-
mately reap the rewards Of, his genius,
while many inventors, through lack of
business ability, are defrauded out of
theirs.

FLOOD OF MONEY FOR HOME
OWNERS

Floods Of cheap money are now avail
able for home owners through the faeili-
ties of the new National Housing Act.
and it is expected that hundreds of mil
lions of dollars will move into circulation
during the next six months through this
channel.
Under the national housing act, any
responsible home owner can go to re-
sponsible local contractor and secure a
written estimate of the repairs or renova-
tons which he wants done, together with
specifications. He can then take this writ
ten estimate to the local bank and offer his
note for the amount required. If he is con-
sidefed a satisfactory credit risk, and the
estimate is reasonable, the note is ac-
cepted and the contractor is authorized to
do the work. The bank either makes the
loan direct to the home owner or pays the
contractor on completion of the work, as
the Housing Administrator may require.
The government, under the terms of
the Act insures the bank against loss up to
20 per cent of all remodelling loans made
guards the bank, as statistics show that the
usual loss percentage for installment loans
is less than per cent.
For new housing projects, anyone de
string to build can borrow up to 80 per
cent of the value of land and house, up to
$4,000 - = Y
Because of the belief among business
men and economists that revival of the con-
stIuction industries can do much to in
crease prosperity and employment, those
who avail themselves of the opportunities
for obtaining government credit under this
Act can have the satisfaction of feeling
that they are helping to improve the
economic conditions of the country as a
whole.

turned thumbs down upon billboards which mar
the scenery along the highway traversing those
enchanted isles and in their place will be erected
mile posts decorated in fashion to advertise the
Island City. Some will bear painted displays of
fish to be found in the waters thereabout, others
will depict the tropical foliage and flowers. These
scenes will appear on 81 by SO inch cross arms sus-
&A
pended from 8 foot post. and will be made by

More than 155 miles of highway will be

veloping in order to make it the outstanding
