the weaker sides against clubs at the head of the list. Sunderland, the leader, meets Everton, a club one from the bottom of the division. Newcastle United, third from the top, meets Cardiff City, fourth from the bottom. The most even game seems to be that between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, which will be played at Tottenham. These clubs both occupy a central position in the list. In the Second Division Chelsea is at home to Hull City. The latter is head of the division; being two points ahead of Swansea Town, the runners-up, it looks like staying there. Swansea Town meets Oldham Athletic; although on form it is the superior, a victory is not to be taken for granted.

Sports are conceded to be the most important factor in the life of Yale University in the opinion of the Yale undergraduates, as expressed in a questionnaire. This is an interesting item of American news, coming as it does from one of the oldest and greatest of the educational institutions in the United States. Yale was originally founded as the collegiate school of Connecticut at Saybrook and it was removed to New Haven in 1717. It was not until 1887, however, that the State Legislature sanctioned its present name. At the present time there are about 3,500 students, exclusive of the graduate schools.

DAILY WEATHER REPORTS. Among the questions put to the students were: “What is the relative value of the various extracurricular activities?” and: “What are the factors which contribute most powerfully to 'success in college?” In the first question, the students were asked to indicate the most valuable activities in the light of their importance in the development of the individual and to the university community. Athletics received the largest vote, by a wide margin, with football leading the list of sports. The reason generally given was the influence of sports on the spirit of the university, resulting in unification of feeling and community of interest produced among players and spectators alike. Other reasons given were the physical and mental development fostered, the advertising value of sports to the university and the resulting attraction of the best type of men. Football was justified because the income therefrom provides for many other sports. The receipts from the football season allow Yale to carry on its policy of “sports for

The receipts from the football season allow Yale to carry on its policy of “sports for all.” When it came to the question of factors which make most for success in college, the students placed athletic ability and personality first, with a combined vote of 70 per cent, scholarly excellence polled 4 per cent. The same questionnaire, put to the students of a university of any other country, would draw a very different set of replies. It gives an interesting aspect of American opinion of the value of sports, for Yale is certainly among the institutions that furnish leaders in all walks of life in the United States. Sym Sportswise.

The total value of the merchandise they are charged with obtaining is nearly 5,000,000 fr. Albert-Louis Paraz, called “Jésus Christ,” is charged with having obtained silk worth 2,290,000 francs from manufacturers in Lyons (Rhône). About a year ago, the leader of the band, Tellier, was arrested on the same charges, but he was released because of illness. As soon as he was free, he gathered his accomplices around him and rented a small office, later moving to a larger one as the “business” prospered. In one month, they made a profit of 200,000 francs and took luxurious offices at 25, Rue Royale, paying an annual rent of 50,000 francs. They employed twenty-six typists and four male attendants in resplendent attire. The commissionaires ordered all their supplies in carloads. At the time of their arrest, several cars with merchandise valued at 2,000,000 francs were waiting to be unloaded. Two storehouses were maintained to hold the goods, and all France was flooded with circulars of the “Society of Credit and Sales of the Manufacturers of France.” The company literally took the cash and let the credit go. Before the war, “Jésus Christ” Paraz was frequently seen in Latin Quarter antique shops and Montparnasse cafés with his reddish-brown beard, buckled shoes, and long hair. Later, deciding that his work with antique dealers was not remunerative

Later, deciding that his work with antique dealers was not remunerative enough, he established a credit with Lyons silk dealers, and opened an art shop at 27, Rue Monge. He sold the silk at low prices, and ignored invoices from his creditors. Garage for Armistice Car. An American has given 150,000 francs for the construction of a garage at Rethondes (Oise) in which will be housed the railroad car in which the Armistice was signed at the close of the World War. The car is now in the courtyard of the Invalides in Paris, but is not properly sheltered. Plans for the garage, to stand on the exact spot at which the Armistice was signed, include an arrangement whereby the exterior and the interior of the car can be inspected easily. Money from admissions to the garage will be used for the upkeep of the Armistice carrefour. Boy Killed on Train Roof. Suicide was the lot of the son of a Paris doctor who climbed to the roof of a train coming from Meudon (Seine-et-Oise).

Suicide was the lot of the son of a Paris doctor who climbed to the roof of a train coming from Meudon (Seine-et-Oise). The young man was Paul Philippet, eighteen years old and a student of the Lycée Henri IV. He went to Meudon for an outing with friends and after spending a happy afternoon, he and they took the train to return to Paris. When no one was looking, Philippet climbed to the roof of one of the coaches. At the Porte de Saintration, his friends decided to search for him. They looked in many coaches but found no sign of their comrade. Eventually, a horrible sight met their eyes. Through the ceiling of one of the compartments protruded a human leg. It was that of the missing boy, the rest of whose mutilated body was found on the roof. He had been crushed through the ceiling as the train passed through a tunnel.
