One informant claims it was the best free-for-all-tooth-nnd-nail fight, he ever witnessed. It these aceo.uiits arc correct it is pertinent to inquire what the officials were doing. Slugging and even unnecessary roughness are heavily penalized under the present football rules. Plnying hard is good football, dirty playing isn't. 'Whenever slugging is allowed the presiding' officials should bo ruled out of the' game, and black listed forever. For in spite of the present popularity of football, the game will bo ruined if the 'rules against unnecessary roughing are not strictly enforced. Not so many years ago, the game was abandoned 'in many colleges because it had become, too rough. "When slugging replaces science, football not only becomes too dangerous, it ceases to be i good sport. Perhaps our reports were exaggerated. We hope so. Hut if not, then it is time for (ho supporters of football in the northwest-to get together and demand officials who will properly enforce the rules. - " : AVIaii the Frokt In on 11 ) Window, filorifieatlrtn of gontw in hfflce, or hunkering to' net In same, proceedH iiimce, and tho confounded and how tllH promt 1h accuiHPd because It re- fiiKCH to throw a hysterical fit of tnnlxc dally.

"Odds bones,1' I said, "we ought to try this pilgrim to identify, that wo may, mark his tomb; perhaps some wives and sisters wait to welcome home this poor oIU skate, and' they should know his doom. Perhaps he has an aunt or nieeo.. who will not have a moment's peace until the truth is known; and loving hearts in somo abode may wait his coming up tho , rond, while he sleeps here alone." My neighbors all agree with ;ine; some other fellows ought to sec that something's done on J time; to plant n stranger when he croaks and not attempt to i find his folks is strangely like a crime. To take a poor dead ! nameless skate and dump him in n cheap pine crate it eer j tainly looks bad; and so we twitter for a day, then each one goes his weary wiiy to nitil another sead. Aud so tho unknown ; pilgrim sleeps; ivjid perudventure some one weeps,. because ho comes no more; perhaps some sad-eyed children say that with their dead old dud away, existence is a bore.

But no one has the time to find the relatives he 'Mi behind, when he set forth to roam; be had no roubles in his bug, and so he goes, without a tag, to his ctenml home. . renponnible for the common belle that the formation of froHt on the window panes Homehmv Indicatex tin hygienic condition! bad air, damp LrifHR or other fault in the atmosphere or tho limine.

It has a moro healthful -humidity t'ban the air usually has when it has been artiCI olnlly heated. , - A question .which arises frequently is whether tho "steam" or extraord inary amount of water vapor In the house on wash day its in any way in jurious to health. The answer is that so for as the condition of the house hold atmosphere is concerned, wash dny Is the most healthful day In the week for everybody from baby to Krandpa. The laundress herself may have to put up with some discomfort on wash day, but neither cold nor wet can really injure her health unless science Is wrong and the old quack doctors' almanacs were right about this matter. In my Judgment, the choice of heat lng methods, solely from the hygienic viewpoint, falls about In this order: 1. The open fireplace burning wood, coal or gas. i. The ordinary heating stove. burning wood, coal, oil or gas. of course having proper chimney con nection. 3. The warm air furnace recircu lating tho nir. 4. Tho hot air furnace having cold air intakes from outdoors. 6, Radiators heated by hot water oc stream. The open fireplace of course bents only the room where It is built. Hut such heat, radiant heat, is more liko the heat of the sun, which warms ob jects, Including our bodies, rather than tho nlr of the room; tho air is warmed only by indirect radiation nf tle heat by tht) fireplace lining and fixtures nnd)' byTthe objects or the bodies of Individuals in the room. Our ancestors found a fireplace com fortable although the nir temperature of the room was: perhaps only fi5 de grees P. An open fireplace is by no means the extravagant method of heating ommonly supposed, even 1 hough a large proportion of the heat goes up the chimney. As a main or MUpplenientary meana, of heating a room the open fireplace Is a good hygienic economy. It Improves ven tilation. It does not dry out the al as does a stove or radiator. ; Humidity Is most readily regulated with the warm air furnace, which re circulates a large volume of moder ately heated air.

Please advise as to the use of soap in bathing children for . instance a rather delicate, nervous, little girl aged tJ, whose personal habits are naturally neat nnd clean1. Should much, if any soap be used, for the body? Should sho be scrubbed? I remember that long ago you gave startling advice to the affect that such soap in bathing 1b injurious. (P. J. O.) Answer. People with old skins- not necessarily very old people- should bo rather wary of soap, and for that matter, they may do-very well with little or no water bathing. Honp is nil right for children, and it is rather beneficial to the skin of youth, the young skin, which Is rather too oily. in coutrnst to the old skin which is too dry and harsh. Soap removes bis skin oil. That Is whay It Is Inju rious to the old skin. But at best soap Is never particularly beneficial to skin It Is only a necessary evil, nec essary to remove grease and. grime. If one can keep the skin clean without soap, bo much the better for the skin. You see, I hold no brief for the soap makers. Years ago I had occasion to 'pan" a well known proprietory shot gun concoction which some of our old fogy doctors were prescribing rather Indiscriminately at the time. "When my complimentary remarks were pub lished the manufacturers oif the nos trum visited me, presented me with subscriptions to numerous medical ournnls, commissioned mo to write some hygienic articles, and finally shipped me a huge case of their nos trum. I haven't said much aljout tho nostrum since. A Turkish bath pro prietor invited me to try ono of his baths he said I'd feel nicer after ward. A corset manufacturer hut the gist of this Is that the soap manu facturers will kindly address any par cels to my residence, for it makes 'em pretty mad here In the office to have bales nnd crates of stuff coming in. And kn case of soap, I wouldn't put it past some of the people around this office to help themselves to several bars before forwarding the present to me.

Every now ana then, However, a player win noia a hand that puzzles him as io the lead. The correct deciiion in such cases means a eame saved or at least a trick or so. The writer noted three Buch hands tJie other evening and in every one of them the correct owning lead made a tre mendous ditlerence. Hand No. Hearts K, J, 7, 2 ' Clubs Q,J, 8,4 ' , Diamonds -4 Spades A, Q.9,4 : Y ;A B : Z No score, rubber eame. Z dealt and bid one diamond, A doubled, Y bid three Diamond,, and II three spades. , bid four diamonds, A four spades, Y five diamonds end B and Z pussed. A doub led and all .passed. What should A open? This is certainly a difficult hand. If he hadn't forced his partner to bid by his informatory double of one diamond, l no ace ol spades would be the logical opening, but as B's bid is in answer to A j double, A is not lustihed in assura - ing that li holds the king of spades. Both the club and heart leads are ques tionable so the proper lead seems to be the four of diamonds. The fact that A holds three suits, all of which he would , prefer to have led to him. makes the trump opening with this hand the ideal one. As a matter of fact, it was the only opening that would have saved game. With this opening the five diamond bid was aeieateu one trick. Hearts - Clubs - Hand No. 3 -K.J, 6, 2. a, J, I Y A B Z Diamonds K. 0. 10. 6 Spades Q,- 6 - 1 No score, first game. Z dealt and bid one club, A and Y passed and B bid one spade, Z and A passed and Y bid four clubs. B bid four spades, Z doub led, A passed, Y bid five clubs, B and Z passed. A doubled aud all passed. What should A open? In this hand the trump opening seems the ideal, one. With the trump opening, the five club bid can be defeated two tricks, With any other opening, it can be defeated only one trick. Note that in both of these hands the bidding of both op ponents indicated very clearly that they held practically, all of the trump strength, so that a trump opening would not cause A's partner, to lose a trump trick. Don't make trump open ings, unless having three suits well, pro tected and unless you )lhov that the. opening will not make your partner lose a trump trick. They are perfect in. hands as just given out,' ljut should be used with great discretion, . . . i . Hand No. 3 ' Hearts none ' .

A should open the spade suit. It a preemptive bid of four hearts is correct, it should indicate weakness in spades, the oilier maior suit.. If that is correct. A would be leading up to weakness in Z's hand, alwavs a (rood olav. The onlv other choice A has is the diamond lead and that seems a bad opening.

He contends that war- cannot be out lowed If tho United States refuses to bo a party to the conference. The conference which he urges would be connected in some measure with the world court, but not directly w-lth tho league. In a recent Interview he said: "It may no longer be said that the outluwing of aggressive war. is an impracticable vision, since the ac credited representatives of 48 na tions, including tho prime ministers of (Utnt llritnin, France mid font other nation, by unanimous and enthusiastic voto. agreed upon a de tailed plan for Its accomplishment to be submitted to their respective gov ernments. What adds much to its Iniproiuilveness is that France and nearly nil other governments were eager to ratify It had not Great llritnin rejected it, , mainly because the United mates, was not to Join In tho treaty and It was recognized that there could be no successful outlawry of wnr without the United States.
