(United Press) Fred Pollard, the negio youth who chopped and hacked to ni cea nvArv means of defense that Lcould be devised by Yale and Harvard, and who stands today as one 01 tne most remarkable football players of a decade, is working his way through Brown university". Pollard runs a lit tle tailor shop, and in moments when he isn't humping away at his studies or hammering down the field for Brown in football contests, he presses the students' suits. Pollard is only a youngster aa a football player in the bigger colleges, but already he has pulled a team to championship cassif ication by his own efforts. He chose Brown for his fame mere ly because it looked better to him than did several other universities, including Dartmouth. A brother of Pollard's formerly played football at Dartmouth and Pollard's inclinations were first toward the Hanover, N. H. school. As a vindication, it may be noted that Brown coaches knew nothing of Pollard's football ability until he asked permission to try out one af Thev asked him if he ever i played football and he informed them he had learned a few points aixmt tne game in Chicago, his home, tie was eiven a uniform, told to get busy, and the rest is history. After the Yale game roiiara was npelnimpd the most remarkable half back who had opposed the Blue, this year and when he was turnea loose against Harvard and did the same it was firmlv es tablished that he is one of the great est football players the east has ever seen. ThU is Pollard's second year as a lpmnie erridiron nerformer. He still has a year to menace Harvard, Yale and the other pretentious elev. ens. Besides beiner several men as a football player Pollard is something of a track performer specializing at the hurdles. La Grande Sign Service 1114 Jefferson Ave. J Advertised Letters.

I Thanksgiving Surnrise k r - , T IIE most tin-American Thanks giving I ever spent was In a French hotel ten years ago," says a woman contributor to the New York Globe. "The proprietor was a friendly old soul and liberal to a fault He not only invited all the guests in tho bouse to dinner, but he scut Invitations to ex-guests as well. "One family who had spent the pre vious winter with him bad gone home to America, leaving their daughter at school. Old M. Blanc sent an Invita tion to the school, and the demoiselle Amerlcalne and a governess came to Paris and spent the day at the hotel. "I had a country house near Paris then, but M. Blanc did not forget me either. So I went Into Paris, taking my two girls with me. The hotel was a small one, but well known, and It was a rendezvous for many interest ing Americans. The tables were deck ed with holly and mistletoe. "M. Blanc in his ardor had mixed up our American fetes. He moved about, smiling mysteriously and whispering to questioners that he bad a surprise In store for uh a dessert which would make us all feel as If we were not in Paris at all, but back in that farolf 'chez vous' (at home) whence we had come. There was much laughing and mer riment, and we drank M. Blanc's health In his best wine as a mark of appreciation. Ilis waiters soon appear ed tottering beneath tho weight of a huge plum pudding wreathed In holly and bearing an American and a French flag. Of course we heaped him with praise. He beamed and beamed, pour ed brandy over his chef d'ocuvro and lighted it, served It himself and said to each person ns they thanked him: 'Did I not tell you you would feel chez vous? It Is good and hot Your na tional dish! Will you have some more fire?' " Thanksgiving and "Thanksliving." To slug a song of thanks to God Is Inspiring; to live a life of serv ice with your brother is improving tho world. Were we less idealists we should view with line satisfaction tho sight of men and women differing In their religious beliefs, yet Joining together in thank ing God. What we plead for is not a yearly thanksgiving to God, but a dally thankslivlug with God. Our aim is not content to see men sit together once a year, banishing prejudice and hatred, but to behold them at work together, every day In the yenr absolutely for getting religious differences, ignoring theological doctrines and Judging a man by his conduct, not prejudging him by his creed or race. The cele bration of this day Is highly to bo com mended. It stands ns the highest ex pression of present day religious ob servance, yet Its true worth Is only achieved when we carry Into tho entire year what the day symbolizes to us all. Thanksgiving is praiseworthy, belt thanksliving is divine. Rev. Dr. Ru dolph I. Coffee, Pittsburgh. Causa For Gratitude. If ever we are tempted to say that, though others have much to be thank ful for, our lives are hard and our paths are thorny let us stop a minute and see by what standard we nre measuring our blessings. If we look at a cripple plodding along with crutches we cunnot help behig thank ful thnt we have feet which serve us well aud that we can walk and run without so much ns considering the effort When tho rain beats on the roof at night we may be thankful for the house that shelters us. When tho doctor calls next door to see an In valid who Is tossing with fever we may bo thankful thut we aro well. If there are flowers on the doorbell across tho street wo may bo thankful that there aro no vacant' chairs In our home. Margaret E. Sangster. PINGING IN THE BIRD GUPBOARS) THANKSGIVING FOR FOUR.
