But however much, II any,
Nick's old ticker may have been
affected at the time when he was
ordered to take things a little
easier than was his wont, there
was never anything wrong with his
heart back yonder in the days OF
the famous cid Chicago White
Stockings when he used to stand
out there on the rubber and set
down the hitters of that era al
most as fast as they'd come to the
bat.
Plenty of Heart
Men like Connie Mack and
Clark Griffith, who we'll remem.
ber the Altrock Of the mauve
decade, will tell you he "had
everything" spirit, speed
and deception. If you know AL
trock as we Of the later era know
him, you take Connie and Clark
at their word. One needs no con-
Vincing of the Altrock of old.
This week Uncle Nick received
recognition of his loyalty and serv-
ice to baseball over the last 40
years from the very font of ma
jor league baseball - Presidents
William Harridge, of the American
League, and Ford Christopher
Frick, OF the National League.
1t is a solid gold lifetime pass to
any park in the country, inscribed
with this legend: In appreciation
OF long and meritorious service. "
OF the many tokens and me
mentoes which have marked his
40-year career in baseball, running
the gamut from cuff links to
travelling bags and golf clubs, AL
trock cherishes more highly this
official recognition from baseball
itself than any other expression
OF esteem that has come to him.
Best Gift of All
When any Of us serve one pro-
fession 40 years continuously and
thus receive its public aknowl.
edgment, I believe we may be con-
sidered a little bit of all right. So
Nick, these gladstone Yuletide
days, is proudly showing a gift
that he holds more sacred than
any of the many bestowalS which
have been his. He doesn't try to
conceal his inward feeling beneath
the crust of his three score years.
He IS touched!
Clark Griffith has ever said
there will always be a place
around his ball yard for Nick Al
trock, and Griff is notorious for
ever taking care of his own. Griff
brought Nick here from Kansas
City in 1912 and Nick and Trainer
Mike Martin, who also came at
that time, have both come down
the years with baseball'S Old Fox.
They are fixtures with the club.
But Griff isn't the first one to
tell Nick he'd always have a place
for him. Joe Cantillon said the
same thing in 1911. Nick hurt his

Vigorously defending the United
States Constitution, William
Rogers, president of the Florida

Stating he was undertaking to

1t concerns itself less and less
with the common good and
more and more with Self-ag-
grandizement and perpetuatiOn.
In the end, revolt Of the gov
erned is the only avenue Of
escape; all peaceful roads are
closed"
Anarchy or Tyranny
Holding that Capitalization Of
power leads toward anarchy, Rog-
ers continued:
'"The American Constitution
was the choice Of our fore
fathers between the dangers Of
centralized power and the weak
nesseS of decentralization, with
all its shortcomings it appeared
to be the only practical course
. to pursue if the extremes of
tyranny and anarchy were to be
avoided"
Contending more than 5000, 900
persons in the United States were
being paid by the Federal Govern
ment at the rate of $500 million
dollars yearly at the end Of 1885,
Rogers added:
eff each payee can be counted
on for just two votes, the COM
ing election and every coming
election from now on is in the
bag. The advocates of
amendment are merely urging
that we now legaliZe such stu
alton by amending the COnStitu-
ton.
"PIeaSe note also that 1 make
no reference to the crushing
burden of taxation ultimately
necessary to meet these pay

Officers Elected AT
Claremont Hall
(From The Pioneer)

AT a recent meeting of the girls
in Clarmont Hall, a competent
house committee was chosen and
the girls were reminded of the re-
gulations under which they live.
The house committee consists of
Dorothy Seldomirdge, chairman,
Katherine Rabb, Eleanor Smith,
Carolyn Croft and Mary Margaret
Troutman.
Since the college has not ap-
pointed girls to answer the doorbell
and telephone this year, those liv-
ing on the first and second floors
are responsible for these duties.
The regulations are the same as
previous years. The girls r al
lowed to keep their lights burning
as long as necessary, provided the
dormitory is quiet after eleven o.
clock. During the study hours
radios may be played quietly.
After six o'clock girls leaving the
dormitory must sign on the register
their destination and with whom
they are accompanied. Juniors are
allowed out three evenings during
the week, in which case they must
return by ten o'clock. Seniors are
allowed out four evenings until
ten-thirty.
Permission may be received from
Miss Omwahe or Miss Rice to go
to the College Inn any evening.
Riding around town in the even
ings is not allowed.
Men may not visit in the social
hall before dinner in the evening
except on Saturday and Sunday,
when they may come in after three
o'clock.

(From The Pioneer)

Miss Anne Faw, travelling secre-
tary for the Student Volunteer
Movement, spoke to the student
body.
Miss Faw's speech carried a mes
sage Of duty to those who believe
in Christ. She reminded us of the
fact that there are still, in some
parts Of the world, people who do
not know the story of Christianity
and that we are responsible because
Jesus commanded that we go into
every part of the world and teach
the Gospel. The message was con-
cluded by a beautiful poem.
Miss Faw is from North Wilkes
boro, North Carolina. She is a
graduate Of Greensboro Methodist
College for Women.
The student Volunteer Move
ment is a missionary organization.
This organization is not for mis-
sionaries alone, but for all persons
who are interested in the promo
ton of Gods kingdom on earth.
Miss Faw was on the campus
Monday and Tuesday, September
20 and 20. At a meeting Monday
evening, she helped the cabinet
members of the Y. M. C. A. plan
their work for this year. DR.. and
Mrs. Faust entertained Miss Faw
at lunch Tuesday. She held per-
sonal interviews with those who
were especially interested in mis-
sions. Various pamphlets and the
latest books on the teachings of
Christ were shown to interested
persons.
Three years ago there was a Stu
dent Volunteer Movement Organi-
zation on this campus, but now the
Young Women's and Young Mems
Christian Associations and the
Adelphians, ministerial students as
ISOLATION, are trying to carry on the
work of this organization.
Although we did not have a Stu
dent Volunteer Movement Organ
ization last year, two girls from the
Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton represented Catawba College
at the meeting held in Greensboro.
The representatives were Misses
Melva Peifly and Naomi Yopp.
Catawba's interest in the spiritual
development Of her students was
shown farther when Miss Melva
was sent as a representative
of Catawba College to the interna-
tional convention which was held
in Indianapolis during Christmas
vacation.

Uniformed Band To
Play at Campus
Day Festivities

Due to an unavoidable delay of
the uniforms, the band was unable
to appear fully equipped at the
game last Sat-
urday. However, the home econo-
mic girls, who are making tF,e capes
and mats, have guaranteed that the
uniforms will be finished very
shortly, SO Homecoming Day will
find the Catawba band, the first in
the conference to be uniformed,
fully arrayed and ready to show
the fans action.
Thanks to a plea sent out by Mr..
Stoolman, head cheer leader, for
more musicians to fill up the excess
capes, three more members were ad-
ded to the musical organization: a
baritone horn, alto horn, and trum-
pet players, all of which add to the
size and impressiveness of the band.

Nations Liquor Bill Since
Prohibition Eight Billions
Average Cost
$3.50 Family
Dry Organization De-
clares Small Part Goes
To Labor, Producers.

Chicago.-The American Busi-
ness Mems Research foundation es-
timated the people of the United
States had spent more than 49,
600, 000,0 900 for alcoholic bever-
ages since prohibition ended.
The organization figured that in
the 40-month period extending
from the legalization of beer in
April, 1888, to August l, 1886.
the nations drinking bill averaged
$6,70S,000 a day.
The expenditure for each family
was calculated at $685..
Liquor production was set at A.
507,859,42S gallons and per capita
consumption at 35.49 gallons.
Beer production was fixed at
4,49S,3S4,7o4 gallons and per
capita consumption Of LA barrels.
Using government figures and
current retail prices as a basis,
the foundation reckoned the total
4O-month bill at $8,05O,328. 170-
claiming the purchases amounted
. to $4,658.75 a minute, $46,960,-
200 a week and $201,2SS,000 a
month.
The organizarion-devoted to
the collection and dissemination
of information regarding aloo-
ho1ic products and their relation to
the well-being of the people,
said internal revenue collected from
the trade during the period was ST.
3s7,4s1,432.
Contending the business had
shown IAN astonishing comeback"
the statement added:
"More than SS,000,0 00,O has
been diverted from legitimate retail
channels of trade into the pockets
of the brewers distillers, and wine
producers and their more than
100000 distributors Of beverage
alcohol.
1.-THE most serious fact Of this
diversion is the exceedingly small
fractional portion of this eight bill
Ian which the liquor trade, second,
hand, returns to producers, car
riers, and labor for wages, material
and transportation costs.
Comparative study, both before
national prohibition and since re-
peal, shows hat legitimate indus
try returns more than twice as
much of its gross manufacturing
income to labor and producer than
does the liquor traffic.
"Out of every dollar Of this 49,
100000 900, the drink trade has
given the U. S. government in taxes
less than II ID cents, while State
and local governments have cor
rallied less than five cents per liq-
uor dollar additional to balance the
mounting demands of relief, acct
dents, and disorder caused by the
traffic."
The foundation gagged the per
capita consumption pf absolute
alcohol in the various beverages
at 2.4S gallons.
Its statistics figured liquor
drinking had increased 8 per cent
and beer drinking 16 per cent in
the fiscal year of 1896 as compared
