MORE TRAINING
FOR FOOTBALLERS
Long Course of Preliminary
Practice Now Necessary. -
MAY RIVAL BASEBALL GAMPS.
If Rules Committee Continues to Make
Changes Elevens Will Have to Begin
Preparing For Campaign Earlier
Than Ever.
College football will encroach more
upon professional baseball this season
than for a good many years. . Because
the intercollegiate football rules com
mittee at its annual meeting last spring
saw fit to make so many radical changes
in the rules every college which ex
pects to make a creditable showing on
the gridiron this fall will get in as
much preliminary training as the time
and its faculty will permit
Last year there was very little of
what might be called preliminary foot-
ball training, but this year nearly ev
ery college was forced to begin work
early. Indeed, calls were issued at a
number of ijniversities for the candi
dates to be ready to work by the mid
dle of September. In a few instances
the players have been working during
the summer, though, of course, no col
lege has conducted an organized prac-
?V; tice.
It need not be supposed that prelimi
nary practice indicates a return to the
unhealthy football situation so much
criticised a few years ago. No college
under ordinary circumstances sees any
nesssity for extended preliminary
work. But this year the rules commit
tee forced upon the college world a
number of radical changes which it
will take the college world considerable
time to assimilate. Any institution
which waits until the last week in
September to unravel the mysteries of
the game is bound to suffer early sea
son reverses. In order that the follow
ers of football may realize the changes
which will be seen in the new game
the most important features are sum
marized herewith:
First The offensive team is given
four trials to -make ten yards instead
of three, as heretofore.
- Second. The value of the touchdown
is increased from 5 to 6 points.
Third The playing field is reduced
In length from 110 yards to 100 yards.
Fourth. The onside kick is abolished.
Fifth. The forward pass is retained,
and in addition a touchdown is permit
ted even when the ball is caught over
the goal line.
Sixth. The ball is kicked off from
the forty yard line instead of from
midfield.
Seventh. The intermission between
the first and second and third atld
fourth quarters is reduced from two to
one minute.
The most important conclusion which
football men have drawn from the
new rules is that they give the big
teams a decided advantage over their
smaller opponents which they have not
had since the introduction of the for
ward pass. This, of course, was not
the original purpose of the rule mak
ers. What they set out to accomplish
was to equalize the offense and the de
fense. For the last four or five years
the defense has been so much stronger
than the offense that a great many
6-0 or other unsatisfactory scores re
sulted. Three important games last
year demonstrated the truth of this as
sertion. They were the Harvard
Princeton. Princeton-Tale and Harvard-Yale
games. Princeton won the
first two, but not on what might be
termed offensive football. Had It not
been for the manner in which White
of Princeton took advantage of a loose
ball the Tigers would never have beat
en Harvard and would have lost to
Yale. There was no question that In
t both instances the Tigers' opponents
had the better offense, but the Tigers
had been wisely coached In defensive
tactics, and the Harvard and Yale
machines were powerless to carry the
ball across by straight football.
Had the 1911 games been played
with just one of the 1912 alterations,
that of permitting four downs to
make ten yards. Harvard would
certainly have scored at least twice
against Princeton, and probably Yale
would have scored on the Tigers with
a touchdown. This is not said to un
. derestimate the power of the Prince
ton team, but merely to illustrate how
marked was the inequality between
the offense and the defense. The Harvard-Yale
game was equally unsatis
factory for the same reasons.
The point about the new football
rules which will be of most Interest to
the critics of the game will be the In
fluences which they will have upon
the line plunging type of game. One
faction Insists that the new rules
mean nothing else but a return to the
old line plunging type of game. An
other faction contends that the new
. rules will tend to develop the running
game. Only the season Itself will prove
which theory is correct.

THE BEAUTIFUL.
Keep your faith in alt beautiful
things in the sun when it is hid
den, in the spring when it is gone
and then you will find that duty
and service and sacrifice, all the
old ogres and bugbears of life, have
joys imprisoned in their deepest
dungeons.

LATEST PARIS CRY.
The Cutaway Is Having
Modish Right of Way.
SUIT OF TAN BROADCLOTH.
A decided novelty in tailored wear
is this coat with cutaway fronts and
a watteau plait at the back. Dnder
the plait the coat fits the figure trimly,
and the waist line is clearly defined. -
The costume is by a famous French
dressmaker, and the combination of
tan broadcloth coat and pannier skirt
of brown velvet is thought very chic in
Paris.
A hat of light tan colored moire silk
faced with black velvet and trimmed
with . a "shower" feather ornament
matches the costume, which Is com
pleted with long tan gloves.
BATHROOM LUXURY.
Portable Shower Spray That Is Practi
cal .and Convenient.
Almost every person can afford the
luxury of a shower bath, since it is
possible to buy a portable one at such
modest prices. A shower bath of the
most practical kind is marked at a few
pennies less than $5, and after demon
strating its merits no one would go
without such a comfort who had the
price to pay for it Tbe fittings were
substantial, arranged with fixtures for
attaching to the wall, an extremely
strong rubber pipe and curtains of
heavy sail duck such as tents are
made of.
These would be a perfect protection
to walls or paper.
At such a low price one expects only
the most films outfit and to pay $5
for something that would soon get out
of order or prove Impracticable Is just
like throwing money away. Then for
those who feel even $5 is beyond their
purse there Is a bath spray that is not
at all a bad substitute for the shower
bath. The prices for rubber and rose
nozzle begin at 50 cents for the small
size. For rinsing the hair these sprays
are excellent, as the force sends water
right Into the scalp, cleansing in from
soap most thoroughly. By the way,
there Is a little shampoo bag lately in
troduced which costs only 10 cents
and can be dried and used 'over and
over again The outer covering is
cheesecloth, with a spongy substance
inside charged with soap and perfum
ed powders, said to be very cool,
cleansing and refreshing.
Violet Toilet Sets.
One of the most attractive toilet nov
elties seen In some time is the new
violet toned toilet sets. They are
made of a special brand of celluloid in
Germany, tinted a rich violet and
some of them are decorated with gold.
Although of celluloid, they are by no
means to be classed among the cheap
articles, as they are rich in appear
ance and decidedly costly, some of the
pieces costing more than the average
silver articles. In the gold decked
ware a set of thirteen pieces is sold
at $49. Thirteen does not cover the
number of articles obtainable, how
ever, as there are all sorts of brushes
and manicure Implements, powder
boxes, jewel cases, etc., which make a
complete set of the plain violet num
ber about thirty and cost between $70
and $80. A ring mirror, for Instance,
is $9.50. The simplest little piece of
the manicure set is 50 cents. The
articles are very pretty and novel and
sure of a pronounced vogue.
Omit Soap.
Do not use soap In cleaning paint
Soapsuds usually fog the polish and
make the furniture look dingy. One
tablespoonful of coal oil to a washpan
of water applied sparingly with a
moistened cloth will usually take the
fog from any fine piece of furniture,
even the piano. - Do not use too much
water on any painted, stained or var
nished' surface. Coal oil used alone
will fog the wood, and too much of it
used and left on will make the finest
polish dull and sticky. Every particle
of the oil should be either .rubbed in
or wiped off.
More True Than Funny.
"How's Jennie and Bill?"
"All right I guess. They're livin in
a downtown hotel."
"They are? Wby? Why ain't they
keepin' house, now that they've got
married?" -
"Well, they thought they wouldn't go
to housekeepin' for awhile."
"Why not?" . '
"They're waitin' to get rich enough
to be able to buy furniture that will
look well In the same room with the
same stuff they got fer wedding pres
ents." Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SHE MARRIED
HIM
By ARTHUR W. BREWSTER
A number of ladies "drinking after
noon tea were narrating experiences
In their first meeting with their hus
bands. Some could not remember this
beginning of their marital affairs and
some' meetings were commonplace.
One experience was quite thrilling.
The lady told it as follows:
I was just twenty years old and was
traveling abroad. There are today
manv and were then a few American
Pbirls who thought nothing of traveling
in Europe alone. I was one of these.
While In Paris, devoting my time to
sight seeing, I made an excursion to
Fontalnebleau. It is an interesting relic
of former times, especially of -Napoleon
the Great, who there signed his abdi
cation as emperor of France and took
leave of his troops. I spent a pleasant
day there and aimed in the afternoon
to take a certain train to Paris. But I
delayed so long among the curios that
I was late- in arriving at the station.
When the train approached I was still
at quite a distance. But the driver
whipped his horse to a gallop and I
reached the station a moment before
the train started again.
I jumped from the carriage, handing
the driver the fare as I did so, and
ran for the train. The doors of the
coaches were shut, but , thinking I
could open one of them I stepped on to
the footboard. The door I attempted
to enter was locked. Thinking the
passengers might open it from the in
side, I called upon them to do so.
But the door had been locked by the
guard and they were unable to open it
The train started and I was about
to step back on to the platform of the
station when a man inside called out
to me to hold On and he would lift me
In. This decided me to remain where
I was that he might do so. He tried
and failed. I was left hanging on to
the door handle.
He became my husband? Not at all.
After inducing me to remain where I
was Instead of regaining the platform
while it was still possible he permitted
me to hang on alone, my life every mo
ment in danger. He might have got
out and supported me, but he did not
Meanwhile the train was going at
full speed and with every lurch I
thought I should lose my grip. Besides,
the wind made by the train was fright
ful, coming as it did in gusts. How
long I must remain in my perilous po
sition before the train stopped at the
next station I did not know; but one
thing I knew, if the time was long I
would be lost, for I could not stand the
continued jolting - and wind blasts.
There are no bell cords on European
trains as there are in America, and
those who saw me were unable to stop
the train.
I was wondering how long I could
hold on when I saw a man getting out
of a window of the coach next ahead
of me. He gained the footboard and
worked his way to the rear end of his
coach.
No, he was not my husband either.
He did not dare to attempt to pass the
space between the two coaches. He
looked at it lugubriously, then at me.
then made his way back to his com
partment and climbed in at the win
dow, 'leaving me to my fate.
I turned about in order to face the
wind instead of having It on my back,
and saw a man coming toward me from
the first coach after the engine. When
he reached the end of his car he did
not look at the interval between it and
the next, but grasped what was requir
ed for the feat and swung himself to
ward the next car. For a few moments
he hung in midair, not being able to
get his feet on the footboard of the
coach he was striving to reach. Then
he succeeded, and I breathed again.
He sidled along easily till he reach
ed the next interval, looking at me
as much as to say: "Hold on; I'll be
with you in a moment'" But when
he strove to cross the next Interval
between coaches he was not as fresh
as he had been and found the passage
more difficult But he succeeded, and
had but one more interval to cross.
Meanwhile my own strength was
rapidly waning. At any moment a
lurch might come that would shake me
off the foot board and at the rate the
train was going I would probably have
been dashed to pieces. Pausing for an
instant to wave a hand to me en
couragingly, my would be rescue
started for the last gap. He hung be
tween the cars, as be had done at the
first crossing, and It seemed to me that
this time It would be impossible for
him to secure a footing. But he suc
ceeded at last and In a few moments
more his arm was around my waist
There was a danger of my fainting.
Indeed, I was only prevented by a new
terror. I was no sooner supported by
my preserver than the train dashed
on to a high bridge and we were cling
ing above the surface of a river far
below.
But more than this was In store for
us. After crossing the river we
plunged into the side of a-inountaln.
The darkness, the dirt, the smoke and
gasses emitted from the engine were
appalling. Never in the world would
I have got over the bridge or through
the tunnel, had It not been for the
strong arm. and iron will of the man
who held me. But as soon as we
came to daylight again the strain was
over. We pulled up at a station. '
Married him! Of course I did. I
vowed while he was making his way
toward me, again while we were cross
ing the bridge, again in the tunnel, that
he should be my husband.
Byron and His Title.
Professor Alasson in the first pub
lished records of the ancient grammar
school of Aberdeen recounts this school
legend about the poet Byron: "It was
said that on his coming to school the
first morning after his accession to the
peerage was known and on the calling
out of his name in the catalogue no
longer as 'Georgi Gordon Byron.' but
as 'Georgi Baro de Byron,' he did not
reply with the' usual and" expected 'ad
sum,' but, feeling the gaze of all his
schoolfellows, burst into tears and ran
out"
OF
IN PORTLAND YARDS
There was a fair run or pork and
mutton stuff at the Portland yards
Wednesday, but only about three
loads of beef material, the arrivals
over night being 75 cattle, 799 sheep,
252 hogs and 7 horses.
Trade during the first half of the
day disclosed no very great changes
from Tuesday in the general market
condition. A few steers grading a
little short of the top were disposed
of at the opening at $6.50 and $5.80,
and the best cows put up sold readily
at $6.25. Other cows were worked
off at $5 to $6, according to quality.
On the whole the cattle market ap
peared to be holding its own, and
dealers say there is nothing in the
present supply outlook to warrant
any predictions of lower prices on
beef stock soon. " .
In the sheep division there some
trade ander way and the market was
reported steady to strong, with a
good dem'and for quality stock. As
in the case of cattle, the prospect is
for a continued satisfactory mutton
market. - -
The little trade put through in the
hog division during the forenoon in
dicated a .steady to easy market on
pork stock. One bunch of good graae
porkers early in the day sold at $8.55,
and that figure was regarded as very
near if not quite, the top. -

ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or
small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light.
Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place
thus affording any desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, there
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly
replacing all others in modern establishments.
