A PARABLE FOR GOSSIPS. A peasant once unthinkingly Spread tales about a friend, But later found the rumors false, And hoped to make amend. He sought the counsel of a monk, A man esteemed and wise, Who heard the peasant’s story through, And he felt he must advise, The kind monk said: “If you would have A mind again at peace, I have a plan whereby you ay From trouble find reiease. “Go fill a bag with chicken down And to each dooryard go And lay one fluffy feather where The streams of gossip flow.” The peasant did as he was told And to the monk returned, Elated that his penance was A thing so quickly earned. “Not yet,” the old monk sternly said, “Take up your bag once more And gather up the feathers that Were placed at every door,” The peasant, eager to atone Went hastening to obey— No feathers met his sight, the wind Had blown them all away. JIMMIE TAKES THE LEAD End of the football season brought a double-barreled crisis into the life of Jim Byers. On his hands, the same Saturday, were a row with the coach, a misunderstanding with the Dean of the School of Commerce, the toughest game of his career, and the chance of disap ting the two men who had ed both his college career and his choice of railroading as profession. Double-barreled crisis? No—Jimmy felt as though he was being fired at by an automatic, self- after. loading, rapid fire crisis shooter, and (ihe team Sous & Tight. before the day was over he— But the best way to tell his story is to simply tell it. “The situation is just this," ex- plained Dean Warrenden in his of- fice. Jimmy sat at his left. Facing him was his chum’s, Bill Armstrong's | father, President Armstrong of the Universal Metal Corporation, and Mr. | Charles J. Allison, head of the old wl have oy complaint to against Mr. ers—none whatever,” the Dean went on. “His work under your railroad scholarship, Mr. strong has been satisfactory, But he is now a first-semester junior, with only a year and a half to study. I learned he has developed into an athletic star, and games take | much of his time. I feel that he need all his s to do full jus- tice to his work. He has not yet chos- a his subject for We uld agree on that, organize a course of reading and research, and—"' you want him to quit athlet- ics?" asked Mr. Allison. “I think it would be wise." “But Ididn't come all the way out here to see him study railrouding.” protested Mr. Allison with a smile. “I did come to see my voy Suarley who graduated here. ey want- ed to come back for homecoming and for this game, and so I met Him here.” you want to specialize ers?" asked Mr. Armstrong, “Well, I've thought about the sell- ing end of railroading,” Jimmy an- swe! “Good! exclaimed Mr. Allison. “We need modern selling ideas, of the scientific type. Most of us railroad men think only of running our trains on regular schedules. If wants to ride or toload some freight in our cars, ail right; but the main thing with us old timers is to run the trains, and there's no money in that alone. We need someone to show us how to sell more haulage" “That is precisely the problem,” said Dean Warrenden, “and it is how we shall make Mr. Arms scholarship productive in the field of rail , “Byers will be no problem to yo laughed Mr. Armstrong. “Instead studying that selling stuff he ought to be teaching it. He sold me a new ” traffic scheme that is saving my com- passes pany about a quarter million a year in freight.” “And sold my directors an electri- fication scheme after I'd fallen down on the sale myself,” said Mr, Allison. “He's on the right track, Dean. Some of the boys here say you wouldn't have any sort of football team with- out Byers. That's all right Byers, don't interrupt.” “Tell you what we'll do, Dean War- renden,” said Mr. Aumstrong. “We'll think it over today and k with you n this evening. My boy Bill says he has to report at the gym at eleven. I'd like to see him ore he goes. This is the first big game of any kind I ever saw.” “You got a thrill coming then,” Allison said. “We'll be at the Al and Omega house for dinner. you come?" “That's my fraternity,” the Dean. “The fact is, I haven't thought of Byers as a fraternity brother— I am very busy, and seldom go there.” “Fine, fine! See you at dinner,” broke in Mr, Armstrong, leading the way out of the office. Jimmy, sick over the possibility of having to give up football and base- ball, was relieved when the confer-|to ence broke up He felt sure he could continue both games and s‘ill have time and energy for railroad study. Of course, football stops with the end of college, and railroading is a lifetime job, and a fellow should be looking ahead, But then— “What's the big kick in football Byers?” asked Mr. Armstrong as Rell.

Jimmy yelled the same signal again, and there was the same counted shift. Big Jake passed the ball, back to Moore, and Richwine—with Ellis interfering raced to the right, as usual. He faked as if reeciving the ball, and two Tippecanoe men charged him, while their end crashed into Ellis. It was the usual fate of this play— but the play was not as it had been. For Billy Armstrong had sprinted straight down the field, unheeded, and now he leaped to receive a long high pass from Les. Jimmy had slipped through the hole left by the two Tippecanoe linemen who had been sucked in to charge Richwine; and Jimmy now flung himself head- long at the knees of the Tippe- canoe left halfback, who went flat on his back before he knew what had hit him. Billy raced for the goil line, and the Tippecanoe safety man sprinted to head him off. Billy veered toward the corner of the field, and was al- most over the line before the safety By man caught him with a long fiy- Tip- ing tackle. They staggered and tumbled forward, stopping finally on Tippecanoe's two-yard line only a dozen feet from the sideline. The unrehearsed play had worked and it was by far the prettiest play of that game, or of that season, either, Jordan's rooters set up a new chant, “Touchdown, touchdown, | touchdown!” Running down the field, Jimmy But on the first play of the sec- found Big Jake Hilligoss. “Jake, ond period, Tippecanoe drove s t this next one's the same play, but | for a second touchdown.

Numerous prominent women play- ers feel that the skirt, as part of a sporting costume, is obsolete and only serves to impede action. The first indication of a general desire to replace the flappi skirt by masculine attire was given at the recent squash rackets championshi at Queen's Club which, next to the All-England Club at Wimbledon, is the most exclusive lawn tennis club in Britain. Many of the women played in white or light colored full length trousers, breeches, or shorts with ‘silk skirts or blouses, turned down socks and no stockings. f ‘official said there was no objection | to trousers provided they were of a light color. Some of the players | who are promiennt in both squash rackets and lawn tennis declared that play the outdoor game in trousers or shorts. | This is almost certain to lead to la battle of words between the mod- ern women players and the Wimble- don authorities. ——Subscribe for the Watchman
