Just so far as this writer is con-

plethora of great backs this sea-

the stark futility of trying to pick
an all-star team. Fred VanZo, the

By GARRETT WATERS

Referees Of the interhigh school

this department in a luncheon to
morrow at Olmsted Grill to select
the player judged most valuable
to his team.
Pad and pencil will be brought
out at this confab as the boys com
pare notes jotted down during the
series which ended last Friday.
Paul Magoffin, Dutch Eberts
Hoby O'Meara and Ray DuFour
officiated the games. Their selec'
tion will be presented with The
washington Times cup at the first
annual sports banquet Of the
Touchdown Club, December 9, at
the Willard.
Noteworthy List
A noteworthy list of players will
come under their scrutiny. Many
of the group were clocked two or
three times during the series be-
cause of their consistent good play
when the officials saw them.
But one will be named after
strict consideration and elimna-
ton and the honored gridder will
be among Billy Vermillion, Bill
Wootten, Hugh Cramer, John
Swank and Sam Fox, Central;
Johnny Williamson, Jim King and
Jack Belote, Tech; Al Kidwell,

Torrens Law in Effect in
Eight States; What 1t Is

The Torrens law is in effect in the
states of Mississippi, Nebraska, New
York, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah,
Virginia, Washington and in Cook
county, Illinois. The Torrens system
simply requires that the property
owner present to designated court
proof that he owns his land.
Usually he does not even need a
lawyer to do this, because the court
is assisted by an official examiner of
title. If the court is satisfied by tes-
timony and claims after hearing all
sides, it DEGREES that he owns the
land. The registration fee, which is
moderate, includes an assessment OF
81 a thousand on the value of the
land for an assurance fund. If later
claims against the property are ever
established successfully, payment Is
made to the claimants out of this
Joint fund-Washingt Star.

Evils Done the Dead by Half
Cooked Writers of History.
vX|HEN Napoleon remarked,
w call history is a lie,' he
launched a mouthful. The Lit
tie Corporal must have sensed
what he was to suffer at the
hands Of his biographers, those
ink-stained harpies who marked
time against the hour his star fell
at st. Helena where, on frail army
cot surrounded by a handful of the
faithful, he writhed into the ever
lasting shadows addressing the mi
rage of his army. This man of
destiny ended his earthly career in
a welter of fat, his ankles bullying
over patent leather shoes like some
thing splitting into space The
jowls of him fell into soiled col
lar, open at the throat, disclosing
the ivory pulp Of fabby breast.
Twenty thousand volumes writ
ten in every living tongue flowed
for more than a hundred years from
the impetuous pens Of biographers,
self-consecrated to lay bare the
life of the Corsican-born adventur-
er who lived to shake the world.
From the confusion wrought of
countless pens, the fearsome Bona
parte now stalks-half monster;
half god, an execrated and a deifed
personality, mythologized with the
accommodating years, and all that is
germane to his influence upon the
Nineteenth century, is swept into
historical disorder.
Biography Written by Ear.
Unfortunate, indeed, that history
is not clarified by time. Once an
error creeps into the record it re-
mains there forever, modified at in
tervals but never wholly corrected
for the enlightenment of posterity.
Memoirs are equally noxious, not
for what they present, but for what
they withhold. Most biography is
written in the measure of one grand
sweet song whistled by an idiot who
| has no ear for music. Recently in
Washington a conscientious attempt
was made BY a congressman and an
| artist to contrive a mural decora-
ton that would show just how our
colonial statesmen looked when
properly CARRIED in the style of that
period; nothing, yunderstand, built

THE members of the senate

seem to be going forward with

way a land crab makes Roadway

figures and language that any min
ute the rescue party was expected
to rush in with bush-hooks and
chop them loose.
However, out of the epileptic
seizure into which these unfortu-
nate patriots have been enmeshed,
one concrete fact has emerged.
There will be a slight exemption of
dues on the profits of corporations
making less than $4,000 year.
This will be great boon for trunk
