Choosing Your Football GirI', an
article written by Paul Calico in
1888 latter ten years research on the
subject' gives many valuable point
ers to young men this time of the
year. We think it's we'll worth quot
ing. Here's how to choose the girl:
After suggesting that a man should
select Large ones, broad ones, and
odd sizes for games late in the sea-
son or games held in VIGOROUSLY cold
stadiums slim girls with mar
row shoulders for games VIGOROUSLY
Grain splashing off the
large ones makes you ''tWice as Wet')
=. and avoid taking girls who must
be fed and watered at regular hours.
Mr.. Calico continues:
"Taking girls to football games
dates back many years once
the precedent was established it was
too late to back out of it and make
football games for men only
when some little darling looks up in
his eyes and says, you're going to
take me to the Yale game, aren't
your the average male does not say,
4 should say not. Pm going with
three other guys so we can play
bridge on the way up and sing quar-
tettes on the way down. He says in
|stead Dear, | never dreamed you
would go with me. How happy you
ihave made me- The liar"
Beginners attending football
games would do we'll to avoid:
Girls who don't know anything
about football and try to show an
interest because you're interested.
"Girls who know too much about
football and catch your errors.
Girls with a friend on the team.
''Girls who drink too much and
turn red.
Girls who don't drink and turn
blue.
"SWeet tempered Pollyannas who
always see the bright side of things
when you get wet, tired, cold or
grouchy and a load of water from
somebody's hat runs down your nece.
"Girls who get brushes on foot
ball players.
Girls who go for flowers, pea
nuts, souvenirs, colors of the game,
etc.
"Girls who aren't ready to leave
on time (and you miss half the
game) . and fussy girls who can't
take minor discomforts like drench-
ed to the skin by a freezing rain,
going without food, walking miles
through mud to and from the sta
dunn, having Scotch spilled in their
laps and gin on their fur coats and
their hats and shoes ruined"

Catholic Action
School Head Scores
College Editors
They Parrot Ideas
Of Other Writers or
Of Faculties, He Says

College student publications were
criticized today by the Rev. Daniel
A. Lord, S. j., director general of
the Summer School for Catholic
Action for dealing III matters "com-
pletely foreign to their real inter-
est"
Speaking before a group OF the
school at the Mayflower Hotel,
Father Lord declared the student
publications express opinions facul-
ties want them to express" or else
those the college paper editors
have gotten from other editorials.
Father Lord criticized the pub
lications for becoming concerned
with Hitler and politics" instead of
giving greater attention to student
activities.
Transferable Votes Urged.
Great civil wars of modern times
could have been avoided by using
the single transferable vote sys-
tenn" now employed in Ireland, the
Rev. Edward Bowling, S. j., of st.
Louis yesterday told the school.
Under the system Father Bowling
asserted Douglas would have been
elected instead of Lincoln, and
there probably would have been no
Civil War"
Father Bowling explained votes
distributed among other candidates
would have been thrown to Doug
las, the most popular Democratic
candidate. You may say then that
the slaves would not have been
freed he said, but I say if you
look at the South today you will
find the Negro far from being free"
Under modern vote-counting syS-
TENS, the speaker said, the Spanish
civil war and present troubles be-
tween England and Ireland also
could have been averted.
Modern Views Attacked.
An attack on modern views on sex
was made yesterday by Father Lord,
who spoke on ''Mary's Place in Mod
ern Life" Some young women
think it is not important to be pure
and their influence on men is only
evil" he said
Miss Dorothy J. Willmann. eXecu-
tive secretary for parish sodalities,
urged women jobholders to pay more
attention to the home.
The Rev. George Nell, authority
on recreational organizations, said:
IF Americans don't learn how to

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Thousands of Indian mounds have
been found on this continent. Most
of them are in the United States,
but Canada has several score of
them, chiefly in Southern Ontario
and Southern Manitoba.
The mounds in the United States
are to be seen from the Dakotas to
Florida, from the State of New York
to Texas The Mound Builders lived
chiefly in the valleys of the Missis-
sippi, the Missouri and the Ohio
Rivers, and around the Great Lakes,
but there were many in such South
ern States as Alabama, Georgia,
Tennessee, the Carolinas and Vir-
ginia. A few mounds are in the
Rocky Mountain area.
Wisconsin is famed for hundreds
of mounds in the shape of animals.
They were meant to have the forms
of bears, deer, turtles, buffalos,
wolves, foxes and eagles.
1t is believed that the animal
mounds were made as images of
the "totems" of certain clans and
tribes, and were looked upon as
holy. Thus the eagle clan would
have an eagle mound. An eagle
mound in Southern Wisconsin is
6 feet high, and measures 624 feet
from tip to tip across the wings.
Think of the work which went into
making a mound of such size!
Ohio has more than $500 mounds.
Most of them are cone-shaped, but
some have the shape of animals.

Experts agree that defense is both
the most difficult but at the same
time most fascinating part of con-
tract. While today's hand depicts an
unimportant partial score contract,
1t was distinguished by fine defensive
play on the part of the West player
West opened a diamond. Dummys
ace won. The king and queen of
trumps were then played. Now de-
clarer laid down the ace of clubs,
then played low club towards
dummy's queen. West naturally
jumped in with the king, then paused
to consider the situation. He knew
he could force declarer by continuing
diamonds, but this line of plan would
prove hindrance rather than a
help. for South could then make his
small trumps. 1t looked as though
partner and declarer held another
club, so that continuing that suit
would avail nothing However, if his
partner could get rid of that pesky
club, declarer would be unable to win
another club trick.
With this thought in mind West
led small spade, hoping that his
partner held the king and another.
The spade return trapped declarer's
queen. and when West cashed his
ace and led his jack of spades, East
threw off his remaining club. Now
West led club. His partner ruffed
and since he still held a trump trick
the contract was down one.

HOOKS.
We shall speak of the Great Serpent
mound in Southern Ohio on a later
day.
Some persons have fancied that
the mounds were put up by a race
quite different from Indians, but
this belief has been given up. Old
records have proved that Indian
Mound Builders were seen by ex-
plorers in several parts of the con-
tinent.
The Spaniard, De Soto, discovered
that the Greek and Chickasaw
Indians were in the custom of build

ing mounds to cover their dead. A
few other cases of the kind were
noted by later explorers, but in
most places mound-building was a
lost art when North America was
settled by whites. The Mound
Builders, no doubt, were ancestors
of tribes found in regions where the
mounds stood. The later Indians,
for the most part, seem to have
given up the mound-building GUS
tom, but many of them had villages
near mounds.
Thousands of skeletons have been
found under mounds, along with
ornaments and other treasures
From these remains we have OBJ
tanned some knowledge of the ways
of life of the Mound Builders.
We know, for example, that they
wore ornaments of many kinds.
Some of them appear to have used
'hook and line" to catch fish. The
bone hooks found in the mounds
do not have barbs on them.

To be better prepared to urge leg

and controlled dispensaries for class

sold in packages, Representative
Harry r. Sheppard, Democrat, of
California announced today that he
Is having study made of class A
liquor stores in Washington during
the approaching recess of Congress.
Representative Sheppard has a
resolution pending before the Rules
Committee which would direct the
District Committee to study the
feasibility of substituting dis
pensaries for class A liquor stores. If
this were done, it would throw some
400 dealers out Of business in WASH
ington. He said today that he has
asked Fraser Gardner, vice presi-
dent of the District of Columbia
Liquor Dispensary Association, to
make thorough survey of all con-
ditions surrounding the class A
liquor stores in Washington and to
present the facts and his summary
next year.
Il appreciate all the personal and
civic cooperation I have received
on behalf of this resolution" said
Mr.. Sheppard, land I feel certain
after Mr.. Gardner has completed
his investigation this summer we
will be in better position to deter
mine what steps are NECESSARY to
regulate the class A liquor stores In
