Oh, I had inside informa- tion.” “Inside Information ‘be blowed,”” snorted the bookie. “Do you know the horse you backed belongs to me?” “Very likely,” quietly retorted the backer, “but the other two runners belong to me.” Harvard’s Pilot ‘-.

Other doctors advocated boxing, fencing, motor racing and yachting as aids to health. Dr. Adolphe Abra- hams, brother of H. M. Abrahams, British Olympic star, testified that a healthy heart could not be damaged by any exercise of which a human be- ing is capable. Dr. M. A. Cassidy said the only persons he had seen injured by ath- Jetics were the very young and the very old.

Young's views were expressed while discussing the agreement between Tad Jones of Yale and Bill Roper of Princeton not to scout their rival elev- ens before their battle, With scouting in vogue, every team has the same privilege, but under the no-scouting agreement Young believes there- would be too much temptation for some to “cut the corners.” He compares this new phase of the game to the honor system in the colleges and universities at present, which of- fers many temptations that some per- sons cannot resist. Young's views on scouting follow: “I believe that the complete elimi- nation of scouting from football would be a good thing for the game. “Certainly it would give the spec- tators a better run for their money. because more time would be spent by the coaches “in developing their of- fenses and less time to defenses. This would mean more scoring and a more open game, “Scouting has heen overplayed. There is no doubt of it. This is par- ticularly true where a college has two or three men at every game in which some teams scout a year ahead for a game the following season. “It is all a question of the honor system. If every college agreed to keep strictly to the letter of the agreement, there would not be any worry. But the fact of the matter is that some college would ‘cut the corners’ a trifle or more than a trifle, and that would mean trouble.” Swedes Spell Success for Dartmouth Team Because Swedes and success have ball, Jess Hawley, head coach of the Green, has become hopeful of the season's football prospect since learn- that he has R. O. “Swede” Sherburg among his gridiron candidates. “Swede” Oberlander, Dartmouth’s last Scandinavian gridiron star, car- ried the Green through two unbeaten seasons. Before Oberlander's time, “Swede” Youngstrom helped Dart- mouth to a winning year. A bit earlier “Swede” Sonnenberg turned a similar trick and ancient Dartmouth history ing. Sherburg, the newest Dartmouth “Swede,” hails from Chicago and after playing on the Dartmouth freshman team two seasons ago, left college for a year to return again this fall. | Wins Big Shoot The photograph shows Corporal lobert A.

Northwestern Uses Odd Plan With Grid Tickets ting to Northwestern university's home football games this season. To insure that there will be no more than this number arrangements have been made to print the ducats on a special made mill stock, which is so constructed that the gateman, upon tearing off the stub, can tell whether or not the pasteboard is counterfeit. The secret of the new patent lies in the fact that when a ticket is torn a colored insert comes to light, a dif- ferent color being used for the vari- ous sections. The tickets this year will have a drawing of the McKinlock campus on the face, while a bird's-eye view of the stadium looms as the background for the stub.

Carrying the box she ran upstairs a vivid young woman in becom- ing motor clothes of the most expen- sive make, but her gay smile gave way to a frown of disapproval as she saw the work upon which the older woman was engaged. “Mother! You're not darning those old stockings!” “They're not old, dear. for too good to throw away. never notice the mended place. taking lots of pains.” “I know.” FRdith laid her hand on And they're You'll I'm the slender drooping shoulder, then lifted it to her mother's white hair and rearranged a lock tenderly. “But, dearest—I had laid those away to go to the cook. I—I don’t have to wear darned stockings now and you most certainly don't have to darn them.” She was instantly sorry that she had said this when saw the faint tremor of pain that crossed her moth- er's delicate face. “Come!” she went on brightly. “Put away your work and go with Mare and me. We're go- ing for a run into town, lunch at the Spafford inn and a bit of shopping afterward. It's too glorious a morn- ing to spend indoors.” Again that faint tremor. Mrs. Sher- man glanced from the window at the big gray car, standing at the curb, and then up at her daughter's ques- tioning face. “Dear child! If you will just go I—I've got some little things 1 want to do. I—" she paused. “Nonsense! Come, thother.” Mrs. Sherman sighed. «I'd rather stay here—" but she half arose. Edith bit her lip. Mother certainly behaved most provokingly at times. “Never mind. Stay if you choose. Of course, I want you to do what you she ran out of the room, struggling with tears of disappointment. “Wouldn't she come?” Marc Lester asked as his wife appeared. Edith merely shook her head in silence. As her husband drove toward town she sat beside him thinking about her mother. She felt that she no longer understood her mother. Now that Marc's new affuence made it possible for them to do everything for Mrs. Sherman she seemed willing to accept no more than she had in the past. Tt was not that mother was old or Ill; mother with her lovely spirit could never he old or ill, Tt was simply a pronounced indifference to the things that 1dith found so delightful—the motor trips, the charming dinner par- ties, the fine house with its beautiful furniture and obliging servants. She was as disappointed as a child fn not having her mother with her. Then a pretty thought came to her, Why not take a bit of town hack home to mother? If she could find the thing she wanted! She did find the thing wanted in an exclusive shop—a gown of dull blue with a touch of lace, a gleam of rhinestones. Think of moth- er in that dress with her white hair very she to mother's room. Mother sat in the sunny window knitting lace. Knitting lace! She arose and kissed her daugh- ter. And then Edith took the dress from the box. “For you, dearest! Put it on. Let me see if it fits.” It dia fit. But that odd little tremor crossed mother’s face as she looked down at the rich breadths, touching lace and ornament with her small, crooked-fingered hand. “It's lovely. But—I've never worn color, you know, dear, since your fa- ther died. Won't it look foolish on an old woman like me? Besides, it must have cost a lot of money?” “What difference does that make?” Edith eried, almost sharply. “Money | is of no consequence if you are pleased.” “you are sweet, dear, and Mare is generous.” But mother’s face did not light because of the gift. “I had com- pany. Sally came over to lunch. We had it up here—on a tray. I thought you wouldn't mind.” “Of course not! You're to do exact- ly as. you please in this house. But Edith felt again that wave of disap- pointment. She had failed again to reach her mother. She went downstairs and out upon the porch where she sat down to think. But unable to reason things out she sprang up presently and ran down the street and round the cor- ner and through a lane until she came maybe It's because you don’t under- | stand your mother as well as 1 do.

Your mother had to mother had to cut all the corners while she was bringing you up. Of course you're grateful as any loving child would be, and now that Marc's making so much money you want to heap your mother with favors. You want to make her dreams come true. She's been showing me things today that you've given her and if yeu could see how she cherishes them, how proud she is to be remembered. But she doesn’t really want fine lace and sable neckpieces. I shouldn't wonder if most of the things you do for her are way over her head, like that music you took us to hear the other evening. It was mostly sounds to me till they played Home, Sweet Home.” As the older woman talked Edith lifted her head, looking into those honest, loyal eyes. She even smiled now faintly. “When your mother sees you hap- py and fortunate she's got all she ever wished for,” Mrs. Rollins went on softly. *“She’s happy to see you happy.

Her mother still sat by the window but she was not working now. She was gazing at something she held in her hand— something she tried to put out of sight. But Edith gently got posses- sion of her mother’s hand and drew the little secret forth, It was a tiny photograph of a little girl in checked gingham with pigtails. “Mother, darling!” cried Edith, then suddenly they were both laughing tremulously yet heartily over that funny treasure of mother’s—the pic- ture of Edith herself when she was seven. America Had Horses Before Spanish Came At the time of the discovery of America and its exploration by the early Spaniards, this continent is thought to have had no native horses. Be that as it may, in the prehistoric period just preceding our own time, known as the Pleistocene or so-called “Ice age,” true horses of many vari- eties roamed in great numbers over most of the American continents, both North and South; and their fossil re- mains have heen found in all parts of the United States, in Mexico, Central and South America, and far north in Alaska even beyond the Arctic circle. The horses of this period were all modern in type, and in life little or not at all in general appear- ance from the horse of today, but each kind possessed certain features which, to the naturalist, marked them as dis- tinet from their living relatives and from each other. Like the horse they were relatively long limbed with a single toe and hoof on each foot, and their skulls were long-muz- zled with deep jaws to accommodate the long, high-erowned teeth so char- acteristic of the modern horse. In size they ranged from little animals no big- er than the smallest Shetland pony to kinds that excelled the largest draft horse. The period of existence of these horses extended over many thou- sands of year and as a group they seemed to have been very well fitted to continue on the American con- tinent.
