the gold Of professionalism failed to
attract Larry Kelly and Clint Frank
of Yale, or Nile Kinnick Of Iowa.
And these four men were winners
Of the Heisman trophy since 1885.
This years winner was Tom Har-
mon Of Michigan, who has declared
that he will not play pro football
If he can help 1t.
The Lone Entry
If Harmon carries through with
his plans, it will leave Davey
O'Brien the only Heisman winner Of
six years to 60 into pro football.
Small wonder that the National
league owners and coaches are wor-
ried over the loss Of big name play
ers. Like any other form of enter
tainment, a pro football team de-
ponds largely upon well-known tai
emit to draw crowds. Men like Har-
mon, Kelly, Berwanger. ETC., keep
the turnstiles clicking. And that is
the sweetest of all music to the
trained ear of club owners.
The pro people shouldn't be either
amazed or dismayed, however.
There are several good. sound rea-
sons why many Of the best players
don't forfeit their amateur standing
upon graduation. First Of all. TO-
days top-notch college players are
bright young men, and being bright
young men, often are offered good
jobs when they graduate. The de-
preston is lessening and they have
a better chance Of getting start
In industry.
Then, too, the college graduate
who has made a name for himself
in football is smart enough to know
the fat. profitable contracts last only
until new group Of players with
fresher publicity appears on the
gridiron scene.

naval authorities had landed a de-
tachment Of marines from n of
their gunboats and re-established
law and order by the simple pro-
cess of shooting into the crowd
where it was so thick that there
was no chance Of missing.
But the French were frightened,
and they cid not like trouble. So
they abandoned the excavations
for the road, told the Ningpo peo-
to build a stone wall round their
property, and promised never to
disturb the quiet Of their dead. The
British. in the International Set
Element next door, were furious
about this loss of face; white men
were not supposed to give in, and,
with the proper show of force, the
French could have got what they
wanted (much later, at the
very end of the century, when the
Chinese were no longer able to re-
sist, the French broke their promise
and laid their road right through
the cemetery, killing twelve China
men who were trying to protect the
spirits of their ancestors.)

President Roosevelt was represent.
ed today as believing about the So
late census controversy that for
that first time, within his know
ledge, a United States senator who
VS. critical of census procedure had
openly advised violation of the law.
Stephen T. Early, White House
secretary, told reporters that Mr.
Roosevelt had planned to discuss
the census situation at his press
conference this morning. The Presi'
dent had a slight cold, however, ana
the conference was called off. Ear
ly then reported on views the Presi-
dent wanted to express.
He did not mention the senator
by name. Senator Tobey (R-N. H.)
has been leading a fight to have
questions about personal income de-
leted from census forms.
Mr.. Roosevelt would have said,
Early declared, that questions re.
lating to income had been endorsed
and requested by a wide range Of
organizations and citizens to develop
some basic statistics on the low in
come group comparable to data ON
the high income group now avail
able through the treasury.

TRADING VOLUME

NEW YORK, March 15.-P-
An estimated increase of 6 % IL
per cent in last weeks total retail
trade marked the broadest gain
over 1889 since January, Dun d
Bradstreet reported today in their
weekly review.
Buying of the sane, steady varie-
ty' and a "leveling-off of the indus
trial recession were noted by the
mercantile agency.
1.-THE spring rise in trade said
the report, proceeded at a livelier
pace this week. Tricky March
weather prevented a uniform ex-
pansion, but gains were substantial
enough on days of favorable shop
ping conditions to widen materially
tie lead over last year.
Numerous requests for quick de-
livery received in wholesale mar
kets indicated that distributors
stocks Of seasonal and other mer-
chandise were in need of r%eplenish-
merit.
"There were some reports Of more
extensive covering by retailers, but
buying was said to be still of the
sane, steady variety; even in indus,
try there was little ordering beyond
three months needs.
"Wholesale buying continued at a
%leisurely pace, despite the increase
in fill-in orCers accompanying the
seasonal expansion at retail.
"In light consumers goods indus
tries, a moderate seasonal improve
ment was in evidence, although this
was by no means general"

pointed to a correlation of all

build no more branch lines, and no
new highways will parallel rail-
roads.
