Richmond and Washington Take Conference
 Matches

Jimmy Barragar was far off his usual pin-leveling stride at tne Elks' Saturday, but was still good enough to lead the rest; of the con- ference bowlers in a low-scoring evening.
 But Barragar's 553 was not enough to enable Lafayette to take the opening match from Richmond, although his POI, top single of the evening, was plenty to give the Frenchmen their lone game, in the intermediate encounter.
 In the other half of the confer ence pin program, Washington took advantage of big Vanderbilt slump to capture two of the three engagements.
 Conference bowling at the Elks tonight will feature the Minnesota Gophers versus Bowdoin at 7:30, with Syracuse following against Annapolis at 8:30 and Erie versus Manhattan at 9:30

 Rarely Sees Brothers

Rarely Sees Brothers
 Odd enough, Ralph seldom had the opportunity to watch his kid brothers in a real contest. His duties as a scout carried him all over the country. He was too busy gathering information on future op- ponents to see Columbia play. About the only game he saw each season was the final contest.
 It would be difficult to single out any one of the three brothers as the greatest. Each had his own qualities to recommend him. Each contributed his share to Columbia football.
 Coach Lou Little of Columbia car ried on his work this fall under a great physical handicap. The hip ailment which put him in the hospital for an operation after the close of the last season tossed him for a loss. Right in the midst of his preparations for the Stanford game in New York, the coach was forced to take to his bed for a week.
 All season he tutored his squad diligently. Few knew that he was able to do so only after he had dulled the pain with a handful of aspirin tables. Some days he took as many as 100 grains to make the pain bearable.
 Yet, with all the intense pain Lou must have suffered, he never lost his good humor. He was never too busy to take time out to give a sports writer a few moments. He is as game as they come-and a great coach.

Sport Stunts
 -BN PAP

For dozen years the name of Furey has been identified with Co., lumbia football. First came Ralph, then Edmund and now the last of the three brothers-George When George packs away his uniform this fall he will be writing "finis" to the active playing careers of the Fureys.
 But the name Isn't likely to pass out of the Columbia gridiron pic- ture, for Ralph is freshman coach at his alma mater.
 Ralph, first of the brothers to wear the light blue, was varsity end three years, beginning in 1925. In his senior year he explained the eleven. He was great end-one of the best in Columbia's history.
 Ralph left quite a mark for Ed mund to shoot at when the latter reported to Coach Lou Little for varsity practice in the fall of 1883. Like Ralph, Edmund was an end. He resembled his older brother in that both were built along solid, chunky lines rather than the rangy type one generally pictures at ends. Edmund was quite a wingmdn in his own right. His brothers career served as an inspiration. His one ambition was to leave college with the reputation of having been a better end than Brother Ralph.
 George Was Co-Captain
 For two seasons, 1884 and 1885, Edmund had his younger brother, George, playing with him on the Columbia eleven. George was a quarterback, and a mighty good one. He did not command the at tention his more spectacular broth CTS did, but he was, none-the Jess, a real football player. Light. he never scaled more than 170 pounds at any time during his career. He was as rugged as they come. His unselfish blocking was overlooked by the headline writers, perhaps, but not by the lads who toiled be- side him He was elected and served as co-captain of the 1886 team along with Joe Coviello, guard.
 George stood out on defense. His crushing tackles interrupted the march of many an ambitious ball. carrier who found a hole in the line. His tackling was always clean and crisp, the variety that brings joy to the heart of a coach. George may not be ranked with quarter backs of the past who have directed Columbia elevens. for the Lion has boasted some really great field gen. erals, but he will long be remem- bered as a gallant and unselfish leader-a team player if ever one

We believe that one of the fin
est pieces of work done in any
community is that done by the Boy
Scout leader in the community. It
is unfortunate that the scout age is
set at twelve years. We have al
ways believed that the present day
American youth are ready for the
scout program earlier, and should
be under the influence of the scout
master longer The scout program
is one of the finest programs ever
devised for young men, but fine as
the program is, it all depends upon
it's being administered by a scout
master who has the leadership quail
tiles and the qualities of mind and
heart that make of him an ideal
leader of boys.

Several hundred people, from all
parts of the state were present at
the big blowout at the gas fields
Sunday. The occasion was in cele-
bration of the new effort to defin-
itely prove the existence of COM
mercial quantities of gas or oil in
this section. Possibly the outsid-
ers have become more enthusiastic
about the fields than we who live
here are. However, should their
present effort prove successful there
is no section of the state which
would profit greater by the develop
ment than we who live so near to
the fields. We certainly hope they
are successful.

The increasing number of near
accidents which occur as a result of
our parking system on the main
street of town calls for further
study of the situation. Cars which
stick out over the line into the
traffic lane are a menace to every
passing vehicle. The angle at which
the other cars are parked almost
compel pulling away from the curb
to back clear out into the opposite
lane. However, we do not think
that parallel parking, even along
main street, is the answer. That
system has its advantages, true
enough, but the disadvantages more
than offset them. The mayors sug-
gestion that the parking angle be
cut down, while not entirely sat-
1sfactory from every angle, is the
best solution which has been offer
ed so far, we think. We hope the
city can get around to painting the
new parking lines very soon, before
a serious accident does happen.

An interesting study was made by
a tax assessor in a middle west city
of 10000 population. He discovered
that of the 54,242 tax statements
taken by him there were only 17,493
on which tax could be collected
23,826 persons signed affidavits stat
ing that they owned no property at
all, and 1892 had statements on
which the constitutional exemption
wiped out all taxable value. In the
absence of any other form of taxa
ton, 17.494 people paid the cost of
government for 68,784 persons. An
other sad chapter to the story is
that 5000 of the 1894 taxable state
ments became delinquent. This is
the most eloquent argument in favor
of sales tax that we have seen. We
have long believed that the problem
of taxes is, not that too much money
is collected by taxes, but rather that
too few persons are called upon to
pay a share of the burden. In
cluded in the number whose state
ments returned no taxes and those
who came under the tax emption
of 5000 was many wage earners,
some of whom earn and spend as
fast as they earn it, several times
as much income as many of those
paid a substantial tax. Such sys-
tenn is unjust and unequitable.

Many persons, not knowing wha

Many persons, not knowing what
it means, run for cover everytime
they hear the word initiation men,
toned in connection with the cur
rency. They may come in contact
with initiation a half dozen times
a year and never realize it. Take
for example the man drawing a fix
ed salary or wage: Every time the
market changes on food products
and necessities he experiences infla-
ton or deflation. If the normal
price of eggs in his locality is fiji
teen cents a dozen and they go
to thirty cents a dozen, he, as far as
he and his egg requirements 60, is
experiencing 100 percent initiation.
Under such conditions if it were
possible for him to feed and clothe
himself and discharge all his obi
cations with eggs his hundred dol
lars a month salary would buy but
half the normal amount of food and
clothing. If, on the other hand, the
egg market should drop to seven
and half cents he could buy twice
as much food and clothing for his
monthly pay check. Hence every
advance in commodity prices is in
flation to this consumer, and every
drop in commodity prices is defla-
ton to him. We experience it every
week, in one or more items that we
buy. Instead of fretting about infla-
ton we fret about high prices,
which as far as our situation goes,
are one and the same.

nothing in this to criticize. In fact
we think if the DIR. can secure
pension of 5000 a month for those
over 60 his services would easily be
worth ten times the amount it is
claimed he receives, and further, if
the DIR. can figure out at the same
time plan where it can be paid for
