Succi Bellefonte, Pa., May 29, 1914. RANK HIGH IN SCHOLARSHIP ‘That Athletes Are Poor Students Is Denied by Former Professor in an Eastern College. “That athletics are practiced in n.ost ‘colleges do not detract the attention of students from scholastic duties is abundantly testified to by college pro- fessors,” remarked Dr. James Hine. man, a former professor in one of the eastern colleges. Dr. Brinker, the ‘president of Lehigh university, de- clared that the Lehigh football squad had averaged higher in scholastic standing than the students who did not participate in college athletics. Le- high is not the only college in which this fact has been marked. Cornell for several years—and I have no doubt that it continues to show it—had foot- ball and baseball teams the members of which led their classes. “Properly controlied athletics are as necessary to successful mental train. ing as are professors. I presume there have been instances where members of college teams have failed in their examinations, and charges follow, as a matter of course, that these men are not genuine students. But the facts are so pronounced that the best men on the leading athletic teams in our ‘greatest colleges are men of big men- 'tality that the suggestion that col leges have to hire athletes falls in its beginning.” Woman's Work. According to the last volume of the British census returns in the United Kingdom women have succeeded in establishing themselves in 2 number of industries where their presence is unexpected. Several women are paper-hangers and whitewashers, and four are brick- layers—all of them widows. There is only one woman coachman. Three women appear under the heading of “clergymen, priests and ministers,” and four are coalheavers. Then there are 347 women ‘“car- men” and wagoners, and 231 women blacksmiths and “strikers.” One woman occupies herself with making patent fuel, and there are three women shipwrights, and five women “tramway car makers.” Finally, England and Wales can boast of 56 women carpenters and joiners, and 14 women masons. Of the latter 13 are widows. What Interested Her. Little Myrtle, the daughter of Colo- nel and Mrs. Cargetts of the Salvation Army, was apparently intensely in- terested in a sermon by Col. Samuel Brengle, for many years a friend of the late Gen. William Booth, at Sal- vation Army headquarters, in West Fourteenth street. Her parents highly approved of this reverent attitude. “You were greatly impressed by Col- onel Brengle’s speech, were you not, my dear?” said her proud parent after the meeting. “Yes, papa,” she answered enthus- astically. “I was wondering all the time he was talking how far his chin sank into his whiskers.” Colonel Bren- gle is blessed with a particularly im- pressive hirsute adornment. — New York Tribune. London’s Modern Fire Brigade. The London fire brigade is rapidly becoming a completely motor-equipped fire fighting organization. Today Lon- don possesses 97 motor appliances and two motor fire floats. It is now pro- posed to spend in the near future $500,000 in providing 53 motor escape ‘vans, 43 electric escape vans, 94 pe- trol or petrol electric motor pumps, 27 motor turntable ladders, 11 motor lor- ries, 5 motor ladders, 15 motor cars, and a motor canteen van, or 249 new motor appliances. In three years horses will be unknown in the Lon- don fire brigade. It's Best Anyway. “I'm an optimist,” said ex-Governor Sulzer at a banquet in New York. “I was an optimist before my impeach- ment. Then I lost my optimism tem- porarily. “An. optimist,” the ex-governor add- ed, dreamily, “is a chap who doesn’t know what’s coming to him.” Poets Today. Butler Glaenzer, poet and essay- ist, listened with his calm smile, at the Players’ club in New York, to a son- neteer who lamented that a magazine had paid him only a cent a line for a sonnet cycle. Mr. Glaenzer did not seem at all perturbed at these starvation rates. He blinked his eyes rapidly behind his pince-nez, smiled his calm smile, apd said in his calm voice: . “My dear fellow, don’t you know that the only. successful poet nowa- days is he who is able to make a living at something else?” - Why? Apropos of an inefficient manager's resignation, George Gould said to a New York railroad reporter: “It’s every man’s desire to wobble round in a big job rather than to fill » small one, and that’s why so many resignations are by request.” Improved Water Gauge. To avoid accidents due to water gauge glasses appearing to be full while in reality they are empty, a glass has been invented with spiral markings that refraction makes ap- pear horizontal when covered by water. Alas, How True! “This doctrine of the excellence of woman, however chivalrous, is cow- ardly as well as false,” says Steven- son. “It is better to face the facts” and “know that though she may have angelic features, eat nothing to speak | of and sing ravishingly in church she ! may be a little devil after all.” Hood’s Sarsaparilla. When Feeling Tired HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA BUILDS UP THE WHOLE SYSTEM—MAKES PURE BLOOD. That tired feeling that comes to you in spring, year after year, is a sign that your blood lacks vitality, just as pimples, boils and other eruptions are signs that it is impure: and it is also a sign that your system is in a low or run-down condition inviting disease. It is a warning, which it is wise to heed. Ask your druggist for Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla. This old standard tried and true blood medicine relieves that tired feeling. It cleanses the blood, gives new life, new courage, strength and cheerfulness. It makes the rich red blood that will make you feel, look, eat and sleep better. Be sureto get Hoods’s, because it is the best. There is no other combination of roots, barks and herbs like it—no real substitute forit—no “just as-good”’ medi- cine. 59-22. Groceries.
