A FEW days ago we wrote something tn this column about the dangers confronting football, particularly in the direC' tion of preserving it as essentially an amateur sport. A subscriber who doesn't share our pessimistic view, has asked us to reprint certain extracts from a book recently writ ten by "Bernie" Bierman, coach of the University of Minnesota. We gladly admit that Mr. Bierman knows more about foot ball than we do, in fact we know nothing in a technical or professional sense. But we are not so sure he it correct in his view of the present condition of this great intercollegiate 'port. , , . However we are glad to reprint his views as requested and sincerely hope that he is right. For if he is, if 85 percent of intercollegiate football is "clean" as he maintains, then there is no cause to worry. Conch Bierman 's summary of the situation follows: Soma people, to my mind, are disposed to exaggerate th, benefit a achool may derive from a well-conducted football program. These well-meaning soul will tell you that succesaful football builds up enrollment, brings In rich endowments or legislative appropriations, or m&kes for intense Blumnl loyalty. Personally, I don't think football has much more effect upon the well-being of an Institution than high-class achievement In other fields of college activity. Colleges or universities do not rise or fall with their football teams. There are, however, some concrete thlnga that a sound football program can do for some Institutions. It may bring . in revenue, for Instance, that Is used to support other forms of athletic endeavor perhaps the entire athletic program. The money thus supplied might not be available from other sources. If the program Is worth while, then the Institution Is benefited accordingly. Successful football may influence some men to supply favorite Institutions with funds and I also believe that It stimulates alumni loyalty to a degree. The effects of a football program on an Institution, at least, are favorable, not unfavorable. Of course, If the game la to continue to be of real worth to any person or group, those connected with It must battle without cessation for the high Ideals that have made It so Important a factor In American life. The game Is in that critical era where more and more encroachments are attempting to lower Its standards. Such problems aa those created by subsidizing of athletes, gambling and drinking at games must be met and solved. There Is definitely a physical aa well as a mental side to our modern life, and the physical Is being emphasized more each day not to aupplsnt the mental aide, but as an adjunct to those who work with their minds. The demand Is for men and women who can teach young and old America alike how .to play as well as work, and. In that sense, those trained In athletics have a distinct place In the scene of today. In fact, the promise of a Culler life through more leisure demands their presence. Their training should be encouraged. Regardless of all that, I'm convinced that the paying of athletes Is on the decline and that Intercollegiate athletics are now more than 86 per cent clean, wholesome, and according to professed standards. In bur annual stock-taking, however. which comes usually at the tag end of the football season, the general public might well get the Idea that the reverse Is true. The Red Hokum Game riERE is another beneficent result of the La Guardia victory in Maw VnrU. whip.l, hnsn't. hefln mentioned. That is the everlasting lambasting of that popular political catchword "communist." ' La Gimrdia's opponent, Judge Mahoney, had just one weapon in his campaign arsenal or at least only used one that was personal abuse, ... to call his opponent a red, a communist, and ask all anti-communists to rally to his Mahoney rs support. Of course La Guardia wasn't a communist, in fact as mayor has had nearly as much trouble with the Communists as the Fascists. But he had been in favor of many of the New Deal proposals, and did display a genuine interest in bettering the condition of the masses in Greater New York. rTIS was enough for Mahoney, as it was for a certain element nf tlm nnnpr-hraoknt irrniins. in Wall Street and UPDer Park avenue. So all the charges were rung on the communist theme, from the opening of the campaign to the finish. "Communist La Guardia," inking his orders "direct from Moscow, etc., etc.," was elected by nearly half a million votes, a new record in a mayoralty election in greater New. York. So obviously very few of the electorate fell for this Bucker bait. They knew it wasn't true, and refused to be taken in by it. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M. D.

INHERITANCE OP DISEASE PERHAPS this unhappy fate of what has threatened to become a popular political catchword, will have some effect not only in the east, but in the country at large. Some of the professional politicians may decide the people aren't such easy mnrks after all. They may conclude that to tag a candidate with a red label, and furnish no proof to support it isn't such smart politics after all. They may even snap out of the illusion that in politic! an epithet is an argument. WE hope so. Putting up the cry of "red" and "communist", evpry time a candidate shows some interest in human betterment and sncinl reform, has always been cheap politics, the people of New York have demonstrated, that it is also STUPID politics. The wider this truth spreads and is accepted, the better for politics, the country, and all the people in it. Among the many popular atortes of Inheritance of acquired charac ters, deficiencies or dlseaaea la the one of the cat that lost her tall by accident and subsequently bad some kittens without tails.

Texas fever In cattle is caused by a parasite Introduced into the blood by a tick whlcb la the canter of the disease. The parasite la present In the egg-cell of the tick, so that the young tick which develops from the egg-cell Is bound to contain the tick. If the parasite were a grain of sand the young tick would harbor It at birth. There la no question of Inheritance here. "Hereditary" syphilis, visiting the Iniquity of the father upon the chil dren unto the third and fourth gen eration. Is no longer recognized In pathology. We know uow that syphi lis may be transmitted from father to mother, from mother to child be fore birth, that the child so Infected may be born with syphilis this Is called congenital syphilis, present at birth but if the child is not syphi litic at birth there will be no mani festation of the disease later. What ever Iniquity of the father Is visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation, Is not syphi lis. Believing It would do more harm than good to describe the st?ns or symptoms of syphilis In the new born Infant or the child a few weeks old, we will merely say that no man or woman who his been infected with syphilis need despair of having healthy, normal children If he or she conscientiously takes treatment over a sufficient period of time and remains under treatment until the physician gives his opinion that the disease is clinically cured, arrested, and the Wasserman blood test con firms this opinion. Another disease formerly deemed hereditary by physicians, a till to re garded by many laymen. Is tuber culosis, consumption, as it was once called. We know now that tuber culosis la never Inherited I Indeed it la rarely congenital. If the mother la tuberculous when the child la born the child ta almost certain to con tract the disease unless Immediately removed from contact, from exposure to the Infection.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A LL, good citizens, regardless of political beliefs, affiliations oi fears, should Join' In rejoicing over the smashing victory of LaOusrdia and Dewey In the New York city election. 1TJ7HEN LaOuardla became mayor " and later, when Dewey was ap pointed special prosecutor, Kew York was the worst racket-ridden city In America, and Tammany Hall, the na tion's most corrupt political organiz ation (which Is raying quite a lot, considering the vicious political or ganizations that flourish In Chicago. Kansas City and elsewhere) was hand-ln-glove with the racketeers. Thomas E. Dewey, with the un wavering backing of LaOuardla, smashed the rackets and brought the racketeers to their knees, so that now, for the first time ' In years, It Is ALMOST SAFE for decent business to operate In New York. If that Isn't cause for rejoicing. NOTHING CAN BE. npAMMANY was against LaGuardia the first time. LaOuardla won. Tammany tried to defeat LaGuardia In the primary this year. LaOuardla won. Tammany fought Dewey's ap pointment as special prosecutor to deal with the racketeers. Dewey was appointed. Then Tammany. In a last desperate effort, tried to defeat LaGuardia and Dewey at Tuesday's city election. BOTH WON OUT. Defeated aU down the line, several times in a row. it looks as If Tam many's back Is broken. The voters of New York have seen decent gov ernment In operation and have back ed It up. That la a landmark. npHERE will be determined tf forts to make It appear that LaOuar dla'a election Is a New Deal victory. This writer doubts It. LaGuardia, to be sure. Is a thick -and-thln supporter of the New Deal, and has been known as such from the beginning. But Dewey, the spe cial prosecutor who knocked down the racketeers, la a political unknown, and Dewey's victory as district attor ney Is Just ss impressive as LaOuar dla's aa mayor. Besides Farley, the political pooh bah of the New Deal, supported La Guardia', Tammany opponent and went down to defeat with him. so did Senator Wagner, another New Deal big shot. IN this writer's Judgment, the New York city election on Tuesday was not a fight for or against the New Deal. It was a struggle. In America's blgest city, between decency and cor ruption, and as such was remote and Isolated from national politics. The New Deal doesn't represent either decency or corruption In gov ernment. It represents an economic theory (an unsound one, this writer thinks). It uses decent elements when It' can. and where It serves Its purpose It uses foul and corrupt po litical machines, such as the Kelly Nash machine In Illinois. In advanc ing Its economic theories, all Is fish that comes to Its net. Whether or not the New Deal had anything to do with It, the LaGuar-dla-Dewey victory In New York, which was a victory over gangdom and all Its sinister ramifications, provides cause for rejoicing on the part of all decent and law-abiding people. trained "game wardens" to protect the nation's two billion dollar wild life resources.

But as the cubs grew, com plaints began to come in from the mess sergeants that meat wns dis appearing. Finally the cubs were caught red-pawed stealing a side of beef and the Bscadrtlle had to glvo them up. This was a wince for Bill Thaw, who loved them, but he was a good soldier and took "Whiskey" and "Soda" back to the Paris eoo. In 1918 Thaw was In Paris and thought ' of the cubs and with a group from ! the Meurtce bar went out to visit i them. Jumping over the guard rail 1 near their cage, he started to talk to i the pet and they, now full grown, began to purr and roll over aa they , did in kittenish days. Thaw reached through the bars and cuffed them i good naturedly and they even licked his face. Guards by this time came, took one hurried look and pulled ; Thaw away. He tried to explain he was an old pal but they thought him Just another American "vln trlste." Aa he walked sadly away the Hons , followed every move with their eyes I and even stood on their hind loga to get a better look over the heada of the crowd. And Thaw's last look was j of two shsfjjy heads stretched as high as they could reach their noses pressed against the bars, straining for a last look. They are still alive and Thaw goes back every year or so to sea them. area Kg svq fL2 AID)1LE,S CINDERELLA SHOP Saturday Dress and Hat CLEARANCE DRESSES Values to $9.95 for$2.85 DRESSES values to SI 8.95 for$4.95 ALL HATS $179 11 rt trt 4il fln rrnirtrr f SB up to $4.00 going for ALL BETTER HATS OFF ATHADLEY'S 44 So.
