The diet fad for reducing has
taken to the woods, and now that
we are all a bit more sensible about
it, we realize that a slow, sensible

exercise is the most satisfactory
solution excepting only those who
should see their doctors.

Elon Shows Superior
Blocking And Attack

A superior Elon team completely
demoralized the Catawba Indian.
on Shuford field last Friday after
noon, Nov. IS, by a score of $40.
The Christians were described by
spectators as the ,smoothest and
fastest outfit seen on the local
gridiron in many seasons.
A rushing Catawba offensive in
the first quarter gave the deceptive
appearance that the Indians would
win easily. Early in the first quart
er, after receiving Clark's 70 yard
punt on their own 20 yard line,
Elon started a short offensive
which ended when Garland re-
covered a tumble On Elon's SO
yard line. Here Catawba began
the first Of four offensive drives
which penetrated Elon's ten yard
stripe, one being halted four yards
short o fthe goal. Off-tackle drives
by Charlie Clark were the best
ground gaining plays for the In
dams. Several spot" passes from
Clark to Garland aided the ad-
vances. ,
Early in the second quarter,
after having been on the defensive
thus far, Elon, by a series of fav-
orable punt exchanges, gradually
forced Catawba deep into its own
territory. From the Indians 40
yard line the Christians started a
sustained drive which was climaxed
by Abbitt's E yard sprint for a
touchdown. The half ended as
Pritchard intercepted a pass on his
own 4 yard line. Score: Elon s;
Catawba 0.
In the third quarter Elon, after
receiving the kickoff, marched to
Catawba's 20 yard line where they
were forced to give up the ball on
downs, When they failed to gain,
the Indians punted to midfeld.
There Elon started a second drive
which netted a touchdown, Abbitt
again scoring. Late in the third
quarter Elon again tailed when
JONES skirted Catawba's left end on
a " yard run.
when the fourth quarter was
five minutes old, Jones, following
e gain from a fake punt, scored
Che fourth touchdown for the
Christians. And late in the period
Stallings, starting around his own
right end, stopped short and passed
80 yards diasonally to Bradley,
who was standing in the end zone,
to bring Elon's total to 81. Harris
Stallings converted two of the
Christians extra points.
Elon's offensive was featured by
hard blocking and fast charging

At the time of the past war
the kings, presidents, admirals,
generals, and diplomats talked
about the flag, the honor of the
nation, and the atrocities of the
enemy, while all the time it was
debts to be collected, investments
to be secured, or colonies to be
captured. 1.-THE army follows the
dollar, and the blood of the army
is what makes the dollar pay"
Although many Russians did not
know whom they were fighting or
what it was, all about, the foreign
secretaries and their bosses" could
explain the reasons for the con-
flict. And these who ruled "have
no graves as yet" Therefore, to
insure that they shall not again be
blind stuff lei the people who
earnestly desire peace should pledge
themselves never to take part un-I
der any circumstances in any fu-
ture war. A great Englishman,
Arthur Ponsonby, member of par
lament and formerly a cabinet
minister, was probably the first to
initiate such a movement. He
sent such a memorial to the prime
minister, signed by thousands upon
thousands of PERSONS H. G.
Wells, who calls such concerted
action "the open conspiracy" in
his book by that name writes:
From the outset the open con-
spiracy will set its face against
militarism. There is a plain pre-
sent need for the organization
now, before war comes again, of
an open and explicit refusal to
serve in any war. This putting
upon record of its members reser-
walton of themselves from any Of
all of the military obligations that
may be the thrust upon the country
|by military and diplomatic efforts,
will be the first considerable overt
act of the open conspiracy groups"
Surely the sacrifice o ften mil
lion men, most of them the best
blood of the nations of the world,
in the past war demands this hui
name and civilizing step. Tc

Elon Downs Catawba Indians To Lead Conference
PEACE
(The Pioneer) =

Arnnistce Day is past, but it seems appropriate to turn one:
thoughts to a consideration of the burning question of world peace
And the recent reading of Edmund Sponsors Faene Queene provides
inspiration for a discussion of peace, that will of the wsp sought by
ninety per cent of the people of the world but controlled by the ten
diplomats, extreme miltarsts, and dictators, exenplify in highest de-
gree several of the six deadly sins, counselors of pride, described Sc
wildly in Canto w of Book l. Billions of dollars in profits, intrigues
which increase ornaments, wars waged solely to protect commerce and
business interests-these. speak only too well of the activities of
guttony, avarice, and envy, all of which produce wrath to unbaance
the harmony of peaceful existence. They work through various
agencies at present. Our star spangled American Legion and, u-
fortunately, widely read Hearst newspapers and Liberty magazine are
attempting to fire the military zeal of the peace loving majority in
this country by fomenting scares of Russias "Reds," the Orients
yellow peoples, Itay's "~blackshrt," and Americas own problem with
the coored race.
However, rather than condemn, let us seek the best attitude to
heads may not seem as vain as the world regards it. The essence of
the situation and the root of the cure appear to me to be embodied in
G. K. Chestertons short poem, the spirit of which seems almost
reasonable as it was written while the wal was on.
The men that worked for England,
They have their graves at home;
And bees and birds of England
About the cross can roam. &
But they that fought for England,
Following a fallen star, D
Alas, alas for England, #"'

Readjustment"

"~Readjustment'
When every youngster longed to be
The holder of a high degree,
This country, in its various parts,
Was swamped with Bachelors of
Arts.
They had diplomas, colored sweat
ers,
And combinations of Greek letters.
The banjo expertly they piled,
And learned a little on the side.
They were o ordinary slobs,
Who looked for work, and hunted
jobs. .~'
But sometimes they'd accept posi-
lions,
Upon, of course, their own cond;-
tons.
Now there is hope that once again
We will turn out some self-made
men,
Who, with their non-collegiate
deeds,
Are what the country really needs.
We need more sturdy lads to toll,
In lumber, real estate, and oil;
So profitably that, when "dunned,''
They'll sweeten an endowment
fund.

MELLON IS SURE
 HE IS INNOCENT

Pittsburgh. Feb. 20--(UP)-- drew W. Mellon. former secretary of the treasury, today pointed to three pieces of evidence to prove that the $3.0OO,000 income tax suit against him is Political Persecu- tion."
 Mellon's attorney, Frank J. Ho- gan, obtained several admissions during his questioning of Charles T. Russell, Deputy Commissioner Of Iternal Revenue:
 1--That Mellon was not given the customary 30-day letter in' forming him of proposed changes tn tax amounts.
 2--That Frank J. Wideman. as. sistant Attorney General, and not anyone in the revenue department signed a letter of deficiency.
 3--That | stamped notation on revenue department letters con' cerning the Mellon case said: This case has not ben considered on itt merits.
 Mellon has repeatedly charged that the attempt of Attorney Gen. eral Homer s. Cummings to collect 1000, 900 additional bD hls lvSy income is Ease Politics." Mellon claims that he overpaid his tax Tn that year by $139.00O.

 He Admitted Errors He asked for more definite re. sponsibility for administration and enforcement of codes and admitted freely that errors had been made in the nasty setting up of the NRA machinery.
 The president listed great gains as having been made under the NRA and hit at "carping critics and those who seek either political advantage or the right again to indulge in unfair practices or ex- ploitation of labor or consumers" From these sources, he indicated had issued much of the criticism against the NRA.
 What MIRA Has Done
 He credited MIRA with giving re- employment to 100000 workers, eliminating child labor, outlawing sweatshops, releasing millions of workers" from starvatoin wages and excessive hours, and advance ing the cause of collective bar gaining.
 "Under it," he said, the pattern ttons is definitely taking shape Industry as whole has also made great gains
 "It Is reasonable to state," MT Roosevelt said, that with certain inevitable exceptions in the case of individual products there has been less gouging in retail sales and prices than in any similar period of increasing demand and rising markets"
 "A great code of law, of order and of decent business" he said, cannot be created in day or d year. We must rightly move to correct some things done or left undone."

 Asked whether his plea for sup. ervision over coal, oil and gas con stituted, in effect, making these products public utilities, he ob- served that that was q difficult question to answer and that it was open to debate.
 Elaborating on the observation that violators need not be sent to jail, the president explained that he believed the situation could be clarified by laws that would per- init courts to function speedily in recovery cases.
 For example. he said, if firm were trying to "chiseI' on q 30-day order, such "chiseling" could be stopped if the courts functioned on the case during the 30 days instead of afterward when the profit al- ready was on the books. Mr Roosevelt, furthermore, feels that the message speaks for itself and covers all of the principles of NRA.
