CATTON’S COMMENT
Along about this time of year. when the last foot- |
pall player's last bruise has been put away for the!
winter in a solution of arnita, the nation always}
gives itself over to an argument about the ethics |
of big-time college football. l
Just now the argument is going off on a new
tack. It is being argued that colleges ought to put
their football players openly on the payroll, to get
away from the hypocrisy of an “amateur” sport ini
which the bulk of the stars are secretly getting’
paid for their services. |
Such a step would at Jeast have the virtue of
frankness. But before we get too enthusiastic about
it, we might pause to repect that it would leave the
biggest problem of all completely unsolved.
That problem is the almost insoluble one of try
ing to reconcile a million-dollar spert Wwith that
civistered and intellectual atmosphere which is sup
posed to be a college’s reason for existence.
A college or a university is a place for intellectual
insuiry, for advanced study, for the pursuit of pure
Jearning. To exceptionally able young people, it
offers a chance to imbibe the learning of the past,
to get the habit of unbiased inquiry, to approach
life's problems reasonably instead of emotionally.
That is its sole excuse for existence. Masrry it to
a great professional entertainment. enterprise and
you get a hodge-podge that will be out of joint no
matter how relentlessly you work to strip it of hy
pocrl;v.
And college football, as it exists today, is a great
protession'alv,entertainment enterprise. It has thrown
up dozens of ball parks larger than those built by
the protessional baseball leagus. It has taken &
major place in the nation’s amusement. It counts
its gate receipts by the millions,
1t relies for its support on the public at large,
bids for that support precisely as do boxing, base
ball, and wrestling, and maintaing an elaborate or
ganization of well-paid coaches, trainers, scouts,
managers, and publicity men to keep the wheels
turning.
A venture of that kind is a professional sport, no
matter what we choose to call it. Unquestionably,
the air would be cleared if the colleges admitted the
professionalism, openly paid the performers accord
ing to their drawing power, and stopped talking in
muted terms about amateurism.
But the tail would still be wagging the dog.
College football as it ‘exists today is merely a
symptom of our failure to understand was a college
is supposed to be. If we continue to look on the
college as a glorified country club, where raw youth
is taught how to wear clothes, is given an urbane
polish, and is prepared for a bond salesman’s suc
cess, we can't hope to take the contradictions out
of the college foothall picture.
Man's inhumanity to woman makes countless di
virce judges mourn. .Or so it would seem from
certain news items,
In Chicago, for instance, the wife of a musician
is suing her husband for divorce because he sat on
the edge of her bed, while she was ill, and regaled
her with blasts on his trumpet. Any soldier who
snarled at “reveille” during the war knows what
fiendish cruelty that can be.
And harily a week passes but brings some other
revelation of ‘the manner:in Which men torture
their mates. There was the recent case, for instance,
of the husband who insisted on sleeping in the room
in which his wife was holding a Lrdge party.
And of the jealous spouse who, whenever he left
the house, always took along his wife's false teeth
80 that she could no go out. |
If you listen to divorce-seeking wives, Machiavelli’
had nothing on modern husbands. 1‘
Fresident Roosevelt's speech at Buenos Aires was
not entirely pleasing to French officialdomn, accord
ing to dispatcheg from Paris. The tone of the
speech was liked, but various Paris journals com
mented acilly on the president’'s “failure” to offer
a plan for world peace; and Le Temps added:
’-‘lqtbrn&tional solidarity carries other moral and
political obligations, and our American friends would
do well to examine their consciences and ask them
selves if they have done their entire duty in this
respect.”
Since this is the sort of thing we are going to
hear from Europe in greater and greater volume, as
the shadow of the next war grows longer, we might
as well start reminding ourselves, right now, that
we are entitld teo form our own conception of what
our “entire duty” happrens to be.
We swallowed the foreign conception of it in 1917,
went to war to save the world for democracy, and
got pretty badly disillusioned.
Can we be blamed for feeling that our principal
duty is to mind our own business and keep out of
European wars?
| THE FIRE SEASON IS HERE
At this season of the year fires are more
prevalent than at any other time. Fire
places and chimneys, where fires have
not been built in months, afford a nucleus
for fires when least expected, Keeping
ashes out of wooden basins or boxes is an
other good fire preventative and the
same might be said of permitting rubbish
and trash of all kinds to be stored or to
accumulate in rooms of buildings isolated
from view of the occupants,
There have been many suggestions
made for fire prevention. Among them
the following:
“1, Oné frequent cause of fire is the
placing of oiled mops in closets, If con
ditions are right, spontaneous combustion
will result and the whole house will burst
into flames,
“2. Burlap bags, upon which there are
traces of any vegetable or animal oils,l
are potential menaces when placed in|
basements because natural oxidation of
that oil generates heat which may ignite
the bags.
“3. Newspapers piled in closets or base-i
ments frequently cause fires, too. The]
printer’s ink when coming into contact
with a certain amount of moisture and
just the right degree of ventilation causes
ic__hemical forces to work. The result is
ire.
“4, TFloor sweepings, especially when
mixed with oily dust-laying compounds,
should not be piled in basements or closed
closets. . e
“5. Oily rags, mops, paint rags, polish
ing cloths and the like should be thrown
out immediately or stored out of doors.
“6. TFires have been known to start
from oily overalls hung in closets; Florida
moss dipped in varnish for decorative
purposes; furnace ashes kept too long in
damp cellars and chips off of waxed
floors.” '
The foregoing suggestions are all good,
if followed, but where carelessness is
practiced, fires are bound to occur result
ing in losses of property and sometimes
fatalities. Too much care cannot be taken
to prevent fire. It is easy for a conflagra
tion to be started, but it is hard to con
trol or stop it. Such was the case in At
lanta, a few weeks ago, when the Cable
building was burned and several lives lost
as well as a large number seriously in
jured. |
Athens has been fortunate, so far this
season. No fires of consequence have
been visited upon this place, and we hope
that there will not be any, but unless
property owners and occupants of build
ings co-operate with the fire department,
there is no telling to what extent our peo
ple may suffer.
AIMEE SEMPLE McPHERSON
This notorious seif-styled ‘‘divine” has
succeeded in making the front pages of
some of the newspapers of the' country.
For some time this woman has been out
of the limelight of publicity, but her erav
ings and desire to be before the public,
regardless of how she get there, has
caused her to fall out with her co-worker,
Rheba Crawford, noted Salvation Army
lassie, and known throughout the country
as the “Angel of Broadway”. In the split
up, Aimee Semple McPherson c¢harged
Rheba Crawford with many things that
are alleged to be untrue, and in order to
check attacks, Miss Crawford has entered
a law suit against Mrs., McPherson for
damages of character in the sum of sl,-
080,000. 4
. Just how serious the charges will prove
to bé will not be known until the courts
‘have passed upon the case. However, in
}the meantime, Aimee will be able to keep
‘her name: before the public, whether it is
favorable or unfavorable comment, The
!many escapades credited to Mrs. McPher
son, during recent years, have not discred
ited her in the eyes of her followers, but
the attendance in the great temple seems
to have increased rather than decreased.
]She has a knack for drawing the crowds
and holding them regardless of her ups
and downs. She has accumulated an im
mense fortune, so it is alleged, through
various methods of ballyhooing, all of
‘which it is presumed has been invested to
‘advantage.
| Rheba Crawford is well known in Geor
'gia. Commencing her career in Atlanta
'with the Salvation Army, after her train
\ing course, she entered the service in New
(York, and on Broadway, she made her
‘greatest hit. With tambourine and a
'sweet voice for singing and preaching.
'she thrilled the crowds nightly on that
fgreat thoroughfare and became known
throughout that city as the ““Angel of
’Broadway". Later she was married, and
‘moving to California, became associated
‘with Aimee Semple McPherson as co-pas
tor of the temple wherethe largest crowds
for religious services assemble in the
United States. Now it is all off, and Rheba
is suing Aimee and they both are saying
hard things about each other. Such is life,
especially, where there is more selfishness
than there is religion.
OLD CARS ARE PROHIBITED
In England, a new plan has been adopt
ed by the people of that gountry as re
lates to permitting the operation of old
cars on the hizhways in that country.
Over 20,000,000 have been taken off the
highways in that country on account of
age and condition of the cars.
The purpose of such action on the part
of the officials of England is due to the
increase in number of accidents, such cars
not being kept in safe repairs. The new
regulations become effective afterthe firs
of the new year and strict enforcement
of the law will be imposed.
While, of course, an cld car, if kept in
good conditoin, much service can be got
ten out of it and at the same time, the old
car can be operated safely and without
danger to other motorists or pedestrians.

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO ‘"
There is no use trying to
break down the Christmas
spirit. It is here and it is here
to stay until after the holiday
season regardiess of conditions.
Meeting the crowds on the streets
Saturday, and practically every
one carrying packages of Christmas
cheer, that old time spirit pervad
ing the very air one breathes is
as contagious as smallpox. We
contracted and developed a real case
from which we do not expect to re
cover until after Christmas. In
fact, we do not want to shake it
off. It feels too good and so long
as it lasts life will be as pleasant
as a dream. If all the seasons of
the year were as pleasant as the
Yuletide, this old world would be
ideal and a mighty good place in
which to live forever.
There is another foature of
the holiday season that brings
much pleasure to us—meeting
old time friecrds, that is, those
whom we havs known since
boyhood days. |
It so happened we met with
Howell Erwin, a man who nevel
fails or is too busy to pass the
time o’ day with his friends. If
there ever was a man who appre
ciates or is more loyal to his friends
than is Howell Erwin, it has never
been our good fortune to meet with
nim. Our conversation was for only
a few moments, but in that time, it
revived pleasant memories of
friendship that have lasted through
out these years. In the practice of
law and as a citizen, Mr, Erwin’'s
ideals have always been of the
highest standard of excellency for
which he is held in the highest es«
teem by his fellow citizens ancd
those who know him throughout the
state and elsewhere.
Man—*“Wait a minute, dear
I've bought somcthing for the
orie | love most in tha world.”
His Wife — “What A box of
cigars?”
Reminescing is excusable, we
suspect-that is, if it is not car
ried too far., Some pecople do
not like it at all while others
are entirely of a different frame
of mind.
However, everyone cannot be
pleased and that is the reason for
the diversification of news as well
as features in newspapers and ma
gazines. An article that might
appeal to a certain class of readers
would find no place in the minds
of others. It is a matter of taste
the same as applies to dress and to
food. But after all, we are human
and what more can be expected.
The same might be said of Qavid
and Wally, They are human and
possess the same faculties as do
other human beings, and why
should they not get married, if they
want to? It js a matter no one else
should try to decide for them.
This week there will be hun
dredg of out-of-town shoppers
here. Practically all of these
visitors will come in automo
biles, and parking space will be
necessary.
I Since the mayor and council
| have placed an embargo on park
{ing cars in certain sections of the?
l.business district, some place shouldl
{be found for the accommodation
of these people. It might be a good
move on the part of the Chamber

BEGIN HERE TODAY
Marcia Canfield, daughter of
wealthy Philip Canfield, knows
that the neighborhood is buz
zing with gossip over the sud
den disappearance of Frank
Kendrick, whose engagement to
Marcia has been announced.
Since his disappearance, a
shortage in Kendrick’s funds
has been discovered.
With her friend, Helen Wad
dell, and others, Marcia is in a
restaurant when there is a
hold-up. Marcia ioses a ring
that was her mother’s.
Learning that Frank is in
Chicago, Marcia goes there to
try to persuade him to return
and face his financial obliga
tions. Before she reaches him,
Frank leaves again.
In Chicago, she encounters
Bruce McDougall, a stranger,
who volunteers a slight service.
Bruce is also a passenger on
the plane Marcia taxes to re
turn home. A few weeks l|ater
she sees him again. Bruce, an
artist, has decided to make his
home in the suburb.
Meanwhile, Tony Stellicci,
restaurant chef, suspects his
brother, Carlo, of being involv
ed in the holdup and finds some
of the loot in Carlo’s home.
He returns Marcia’s ring.
Dorothy Osborn, who dis
likes Marcia, invites Bruce to
dinner. She telephones that
che is driving her mother on
an errand and will stop for
him.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
¥ CHAPTER XVIII. i
. Qarlo Stellicci had fled Bobbs
Néck without considering conse
quences, other than that he wes
likely to go to prison by remain
ing. Neither his invalid father
nor Tony had been an item in his
mind: he had paid so little at-|
tention to his borther and parent
for so many years that it was
only natural to ignore their in
terest in his precipitate flight.
Carlo had paused long enough
in his flight to telephone a warn-j
ing to his garage employes that
their secret was out. This kind-,
ness, however, was prompted only
by his desire to have the two ‘
meet him in the city with certain
manies and property secreted at
the garage. They repaid him by
carrying the little hoard .to New
York and, instead of joining Carlo
where he waited at a hastily ap
pointed rendezvous, continuing
their journey in fright to farther
destination.
Carlo at length surmised the
truth. He had been cheated.
Sadly he counted the money-in
his pocket, sadly abandoned his
car, fearing the emblem of guilt
now etched by police intelligence
ceross its license plates.
And he vanished . among New
York’s millions for a -period of
meditation.
During this lonely time he even
neglected his four acquaintances
in the city, for he felt a vast dis
taste for them. When, at last, he
emerged from hiding, although he
had never been called the answer
to any one's prayer, he did indeed
appear at a moment when profane
}*cars. to secure such lots until the
| holiday trade ig over. We are quite
’sure an arrangement could be made
I!emporarny, to say the least, It
' would not only mean much for the
' convenience of shoppers, but it
might add considerable to the trade
with the merchants. We Dbelieve
‘that such an arrangement could be
imadé, provided some one will un
‘dertake the project,
questions were being asked as to
his whereabouts.
It was on a Saturday aftrenoon.
Three of his friends were gather
ed in the apartment which Carlq
had frequently visited. They were
rolling dice without enthusiasm.
At the proper signal from the
doorbell one of the men opened
the door and a fourth man enter
ed. He it was who had acted as
chairman =of the last meeting
which Carlo attended in these
rooms.
“Well, T found out sometihng,”
he said, slamming the door. “Thet
Stellicei rat .has beat it. That's
why we haven’'t got any answer
when we called his garage. The
two tramps who worked for him
have scrammed too, I guess. I
'tolephoned the police out there
from a booth at the corner; told
them I was American Express and
we couldn’t find Stellicei to de
liver a package of auto parts.
Asked them if they could tell me
snything. The cop 1 talked with
said they’d like to know where he
is, too. So 1 guess that tells the
story. He got scared somehow and
ran.
“The four of us can do the job.
One car instead of two. One; man
outside, three inside. What was
the layout Stellicei gave us? Park
at that door on the side street, hq
said. Come out that door, into the
car, straight down that street.
What was the next turn?”
No one remembered the answer.
They had depended on Carlo and
his men more than they had ap
rreciated. And all knew the dan
ger of attempting the job with
out an easy route for escape.
They grew profane as they
called on Providence to deliver
Carlo Stellicei into their hands.
And then the doorbell rang with
the answer to their supplications.
Carlo Stellicci entered. An abject
Carlo. A needy Carlo.
A Carlo who knew not where
else to look for funds.
Whenthe Osborn car stopped
in front of the house, Bruce Mc-
Dougall wa¢ ready. Turning out
the lights and pulling on his over
coat, he ran downstairs, patting
his pockets in a quick inventory.
Keys, cigarets, change, wallet—
darn the luck! He had forgotien
to go to the bank this morning
and cash a check on his new ac
count. Now he had only a bit of
silver, and faceq a Sunday broke.
‘What if Dorothy Osborn cared to
see a movie tonight?
But as he walked toward the
car he remembered having heard
someone — Mike, probably — re
mark that the Bobbs Neck bank
was open on Saturday evenings,
largely for the convenience of
shopkeepers who wished to de
posit the receipts of their heaviest
selling day. He’s ask Dorothy to
stop at the bank; it would take
only a moment.
Introduced to Mrs. Osborn, Mr.
Dougall climbed in beside Dorothy
and she turned the car.
“We have just one stop to
make,” she said. “I hope you
won't mind waiting a moment
while mother gets something on
Main Street.”
“As a matter of fact,” said Mec-
Dougal,, “I have an errand, too,
and I'll do it while you’re stop
ping for Mrs. Osborn. I want to
dash into the bank.”
’ Bobbs Neck was at dinner, and
Main Street, soon to be busy with
{Raturday night shoppers and
'movie-goers, was comparatively
deserted, so that Dorothy found
| parking space in front of the bank.

away, while he excused himself
from Dorothy and entered the
bank building.
Inside the street doors was a
marble vestibule, where a stair
way gave access to offices on the
second floor. Beyong was an
other set of coors, to the bank it
self, unlocked now for the eve
ning’'s business but closed on the
January weather. About to push
’his way through the inner doors,
| McDougall fell back.
There was no mistaking the
scene,
Four men were at another door,
set in a far wali of the banking
room, the side street entrance.
Three were tugging desperately at
the handle; the fourth, holding a
gun, faceq the {tellers, who stood
in apparent impotence at their
windows, with hands raised.
In a momentary paralysis, be
fore he could recover to act, Me-
Dougall heard a sudden and tre
mendous clangor from over the
outside doors. One of the tellers
had reached an alarm button with
a cautious foot.
The four men gave up the
struggle with the side door and
sprinted toward the westibule, and
McDougall retreated before them,
horribly aware that Dorothy sat
in her car immediately in front of
the building and that her mother
might even now be emerging from
the store 5 door or two away.
He burst on the street.
“Pull ahead!” he yelled, waving
imperatively. “Step on _ it! ‘'Go
on—go on’ 10 -
Dorothy already had recognized
the alarm. A glance assured her
that McDougall had turned toward
the store her mother had entered.
She sent the car forward with a
jerk, her foot hard down on the
thottle as she let the clutch pedal
fly back.
The four men came through the
bank doors and looked out from
the cover provided where the stone
walls of the building projected a
foot beyond the entrance. Half a
block away, ' running heavily to
ward them, was a policeman.
The alarm had called people
from the stores along the street.
The policeman was closing in rap

Senior Class
The’ senior class would like to
congretulate the participants wha
were largely members of the
freshman eclass, for the splendid
play they rendered in chapel Wed
nesday, as ‘a presentation of the
Dramatic club. The plzy was not
irksome as one wollld expeet
from a body of younger students)
having such little or no stage ex
perience.
. The seniors are getting some
experience in teaching by
conducting their hist lass at
various times. It is v%temst—
ing to see how well .some of the
students take charge of, and ex
plain various events in history.
The A. M. I. school basketball
team will consist of several girls
from this class. We hore that
they will make another fine show
ing this year.
