Rule Changes
By ROBERT McSHANE

nv HETHER or not college foot
w ball could be made a better,
basically sounder game through rev.
dictionary rule changes is a ques-
ton upon which coaches and fans
alike disagree.
Many coaches, and it must be adj
mitted that most Of them are of pro-
fessiOnal clubs, would like to have
institutional teams adopt regulations
governing the play-for-pay boys.
Most college mentors are content
with the existing set-up. OF course
many of them have their own ak
to grind-they would like to see a
few minor changes, but on the whole
are satisfied with things as they are.
Heading the former group is
George p. Marshall, outspoken own
er Of the Washington Redskins, who
has called upon the college rule
makers to save their game from 60
ing the way Of the dodo bird by
adopting pro rules.
An outstanding advocate of rules
as they are is Amos AIonzo Stage,
the No. Grand Old Man of Ameri-
can football, who entered his fiftieth
year Of coaching this season. Stage
is rounding out his career in the
comparative obscurity of a small
campus at the College Of the Pacific
at Stockton, Calf.
1t is Marshall's claim that colleges
are charging fancy prices" but they
are not giving the public the kind of
a show it deserves. His interest in
furthering the cause of college foot

development.
A review of his past 40 seasons
convinces Stage that there is still a
good chance that one or two more
major systems may be developed,
and that there is plenty of room for
development of new individual plays.
Because of this, Stage knows that
rule alterations may be necessary.
Both sides sound logical. Stages
the more SO because the advocates
of rule changes have, for the large
part, q selfish interest. They look
upon colleges as farms for the pro-
fessional gridiron, and therefore are
anxious to have the collegians mold

themselves. A politician for in- stance may never have studied this science in any book, yet in- stinct tells him how the minds oi his constituents work. Many pol lticians are too much swayed by every current of popular opinion that blows, so that they are not much more than mere weather vanes. But still any successful statesman has to know what the people are thinking in their in- most minds, before he can sway their thoughts.
 The good salesman is an excell ent psychologist. He knows how the mind of his customer works. He tries to adapt himself to the tendencies in the mind of his GUS toners, and how to appeal to diff ferent types of minds.
 One reason why many persons fail to read peoples minds, is that they are so anxious to talk themselves and express their own thoughts that they rarely listen to others. The person who listens more than he talks, knows the thoughts that are passing through the minds of the people, and is better able to predict what they will do, and what kind of argument will appeal to them.

Psychology is a deep sounding word, and the average person hardly knows what it means. It is defined as the science of the human mind. But profound as the subject is, yet it is a line of though that is being studied by many unemployed people, who are anxious to find ways by which they can make good in the world.
 Many people who know little or nothing about theoretical psychology. are yet in practical way very good psychologists

 News that Alaska's new fed eral bureau of investigation man, Sam Landrum, has been assign ed to the Territory indefinitely '' raising hopes for a permanent "crime research" bureau in Al aska, is received with pleasure
 Local municipal officers and of ficers of United States marshall s offices haven't the money or the personnel to deal with cases where "all is not present that meets the eye"
 That job is an FBI job express ly. Recognized as one of the most beneficial law enforcement offices in the United States, this CO., ordinating crime detection of flee has done a world of com mendable work in its brief ex- istence.
 Alaska needs such a bureau of investigation, perhaps more SC than any other portion of soil under the United States flag.
 The limits of Alaska are re- mote, its distances vast, and the job of crime detection a difficult problem.
 All law enforcement officers of the Territory welcome Land rum's being stationed here, even though his assignment is ''indef- mate"
 It gives us hope that the nec- esary funds will be allotted to make this office in Alaska once made permanent, for the work of the FBI in Alaska has been ap- preciated and is needed.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Sept 30.-The wer
in Europe, 1910 politics and the fail
ure of the last Congress to act on
much of labor's legislative program
held the attention OF delegates NOV
in here today for the 59th meeting
of the American Federation of Labor
Monday.
Preconvention lobby discussion in
dicated that national politics prob
ably would be injected into floor
debate during the two week session.
1t will be the last convention meet
ing before the 1910 elections, but
there were no advance signs that
the Federation would be moved from
its traditional nonpartisan policy.
The European war and its effect
on labor, wages and prices in this
country, union leaders predicted, will
come in for extensive debate in de-
termining convention policy toward
revision Of the Neutrality Act.
Neutrality Stand Expected.
A. F. L. President William Green
and other executive officers have in
dicated the probability that the con-
vention will vote for strict anti
profiteering legislation and revision
| Of the Neutrality Act without involv-
ing this country on the side of any
warning nation.
A preconvention meeting Of the
metal trades unions criticized the
embargo of war supplies to the DEM
| ocratic powers and voted for free
sale of American goods to all nations.
Convention consideration Of labor's
legislative program will revolve
| largely around determining what
course of action the Federation will
pursue next year to press for changes
in the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
Informed union chiefs reported
that floor debate on the labor act
amendments may bring into the
| open from some of the metal trades
unions sharp criticism of the
amendments sought by the A. F.. of
L. leadership in the last session.
Sweeping Changes Opposed.
The pattern makers and the ma
chinists are reported to have taken
stand against some of the pro-
posals advanced by the Federation
for sweeping changes in the act.
Convention action on the unsuc-
cessful A. F. of L.-C. I. o. peace
negotiations is expected to be de-
ferred until President Roosevelt's
message is read to the delegates.
Mr.. Green said he expected it to
contain another request for labor
unity in view of the conditions Great
ed by war abroad.
Mr.. Green has devoted many of
his pre-convention speeches to the
labor split, blaming the c. I. o. for
refusing to accept the Federation's
maximum terms for ending the
struggle.
Complaints May Be Probed.
A conference of unidn presidents
representing the building and metal
trades probably will be called next
week, it was learned, to investigate
complaints about the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority's labor policies.
Chiefs of the building and metal
trades departments. here for the
convention, discussed the complaints
informally with spokesmen for union
workers employed by the Federal
agency in the T. v. A. area.
Union officers declined to reveal
the scope of the complaints.
One officer said the unions had
not been able to complete what they
considered satisfactory agreements"

, War Department officials indi-
Gated yesterday the Army was look
ing to the Civilian Conservation
Corps for some of the nearly $4,000
recruits sought in the next two
months.
Only those who are ineligible for
re-enrollment in the C. G. c. will
be solicited, however.
Of6cials said that if a youth with
Army qualifications had reached the
end of his c. c. c. service, there
was no reason why he should not
be offered Army service. regardless
of the civilian status of the c. c. c.
To do otherwise, it was contended,
would deprive c. c. c. youths of
opportunities offered other civilians.
How concentrated a campaign
would be made to enlist G. C. C.
enrolles depended on local recruit
ing officers, officials said.

PASADENA, Calf, Sept. 30.-An
estate of more than a million dol

University by DR.. John Martin Vim
