SCANDAL IN ENGLISH RUGBY
Many Devonshire Players Receive
Compensation for Lost Time in
Addition to Expenses.
English Rugby football is faced with
a scandal which may lead to a wider
breach in the ffnglish Rugby Union as
that which caused the formation of the
Northern Union In the nineties
Rugby is ostensibly a purely
amateur game in England in distinc
tion to the association game, which is
played largely by professional teams.
Recently the Northern Union ad
herents invaded Devonshire and at
tempted to recruit players from the
existing Rugby clubs. This campaign
led to the exposure of the fact that
mane of ' he Devonshire players were
receiving cc mpensation for time lost
from work in addition to their ex
penses while playing with their teams.
This practice is open among the teams
of the Northern Union, which has re
vised the Rugby rules until the form it
plays .5 i strenuous that professional
players are necessary for a success
ful team.
Some of the Devonshire players who
have been suspended for negotiating
with th*- Northern Union invaders
state tha* the payment for lost time is
ger-ral in the Rugby Union, and they
declare that they will expose the sys
tem at the investigation which has
been ordered by the governing com
mittee of the union.
Thi scandal comes at a particularly
inoppor: me time, as the Sout* Afri
can Springboks have recently com
menced a tcur of the Rugby Union.
England is particularly anxious to
present an unbroken front to the in
vaders in order to wipe out the in
broken series of defeats which the
last South African team inflicted on
the English fifteens several years ago.
During that tour the South Africans
i suffered only one reverse, and that
was at the hands of the Scottish
Unit n. The present invadors declare
that they will return home with a
clean score, and they are determined
to show the Scots that their victory
was a fiuke.

FOOTBALL IS AN OLD GAME
Muhlenberg College Team Told of It*
Ancient Origin—Flayed at Least
as Early as 750 B. C.
In the small hours, at the close of
the banquet given by Allentown grid
iron enthusiasts to the Muhlenberg
football team, the players got together
and elected George Blxler of Easton as
captain for next year, to succeed Sav
acool. who will graduate in June.
Bixler has been playing right end and
his fleet legs and his punting ability
were responsible for more than one
victory this year.
The feature of the banquet was the
address of Professor Reese, the fac
ulty member of the Athletic associa
tion. who presented the letter and
sweaters. Professor Reese declared
that football i6 the oldest game, and
the one with the widest vogue through
all the world's history. He quoted i
Scripture to show that the game was
played at least as early as 750 B. C.,
during Homer's time, and among the
Spartans in Greece; then later in
Rome, and finally being introduced in
America in 1608. The Eskimos and
the South Sea islanders play the game, j
In 1315 Edward II. of England issued
a decree abolishing the game, as did
also later sovereigns of England. Dur- i
ing the reign of Augustus in Rome he
ordered the rules of the game re
vised because the game at the time j
was considered too mild. "Shake- j
speare, Chaucer. Addison, Izaak Wal
ton. Cooper and others all advocated 1
football," continued Professor Reese,
"showing that thinking men of their
time thought well of the game, the
same as thinking men of today think !
and speak well of it. The so-called
new game or new method of playing '
the game is nothing but an evolution
of the old. and is not new at all. Its
long-continued uninterrupted history
shows that it is a game of great vital
ity, making of its players fine physical
specimens and inoculating in them
not only true sportsmanship, but man
liness as well.”
There is rejoicing in Allentown
over news from Easton that Lafayette
has put Muhlenberg on its football
schedule for next year.

& MARGARET E. SANGSTERa:
PUMPKINS) FOP. THANKSGIVING
GATHERING THE. CRANBERRHc
HE household year, like the
year of the nation, has its
red-letter days and its joy
ous anniversaries. Around
Thanksgiving the sweetest
associations of the home
and the tenderest memo-'
ries of the nation meet
and cluster. Do you ever
stop to think how new- this
country is? Should you go to Rome
you would find more old walls and
monuments and buildings that have
been standing for centuries, and still
testify to the past splendor of the
once imperial city. Crossing the At
lantic and setting foot on the shores
of England, the past greets you on
every hand. You are immediately
made aware that our friends across
the water are living among old tradi
tions. while in their ceremonials, as
when a king was crowned with his
queen at his side, they are keeping
up the customs and recalling the gran
deur that have been theirs for a thou
sand years.
Over here, in comparison with other
nations on the globs, we are still in
our childhood and can hardly be said
to have more than reached the begin
ning of our maturity. Yet we have
eight million people, and we jostle
when we walk on the street people |
who have sought us from the far east, ]
from the islands of the ocean, from
northern and southern Europe, and.
Indeed, from everywhere beneath the
sun. To my mind there is something
wonderful and significant and heart
stirring in the thought that a man of :
our choice in Washington in the I
White House presides as our chief ex- J
ecutive over our vast territory and !
our migh-iy mass of citizens. He sends |
out word in November, and lo! the |
whole commonwealth listens and
obeys. By one consent Americans,
native-born and adopted into our
ranks from abroad, cease from busi
ness, observe a holiday and thank
God on the last Thursday of Novem
ber. Everyone does not go to
church, but the churches are open.
There are services, there is exquisite
music and eloquent sermons are
preached, and the nation is thus up
lifted to a higher plane, and there is
an obvious reminder that we owe
thanks to our Creator and praise to
our Father in heaven.
Another charming feature of this
peculiarly popular and wholly Amer
ican holiday Is the assembling of fam
ilies around the Thanksgiving dinner
table. Again look back, not over a
thousand years, but over very nearly
three hundred, and you will see how
significant was the origin of this
annual jubilee. In 1621 Governor
Bradford of Massachusetts issued a
proclamation to the little colony set
ting apart a day of Thanksgiving for
the first in-gathering harvests. Should
you ever go to Plymouth, Mass., and
stroll through the old graveyard there,
tears would spring to your eyes even
now when you saw by the records on
tne stones that Death was very busy
in reaping the first harvest of life in
New England. These hardy pioneers
who came to our bleak Atlantic coast
that they might have freedom to wor
ship God as they chose, were made of
stuff too strong to be daunted by
illness, want, famine or death. The
attacks of hostile Indians in the night
did not turn them from their purpose
of Eettling in the new country, and
women and men alike were heroic in
their scorn of peril and their determin
ation to snatch success from apparent
defeat. The first harvest was scanty,
but they assembled in church and
thanked God for It, and in their homes
they sat down to the best dinner they
could provide. The wild turkey fur
nished the meat for the feast This
PREPARING TURKEY* FOR MARKET
American bird is always the piece
de resistance at a Thanksgiving din
ner. The domestic bird retains some
traits of primitive wildness and. as
every farmer's wife knows, is prone
to wander away, and travels, by pref
erence, In a flock.
Still looking back, we discover that
after 1621 other colonies followed the
example of Massachusetts. After the
Revolution the governors of various
sta' i issued proclamations as Gov
ernor Bradford had done. But it was
not until 1S63 that the day became na
tional. It was then that the president
proclaimed a genera! thanksgiving,
and this good custom has been fol
lowed until the present year.
The old homestead is the rallying
place for Its sons and daughters, if
they have been scattered far afield In
pursuit of business or pleasure. They
make an effort to return to the loved
ones there and no triumph of a Paris
ian chef or art of the finest cookery
has quite the taste of mother's pump
kin pie. Thanksgiving dinners mav
be eaten in hotels and boarding
houses and on shipboard by enthusi
astic Americans, and in city homes
where cousins, aunts and uncles shake
hands and sit together at the meal
but they are best when they are given
beneath the roof where once the chil
dren played.
In comparison with that first har
'est and that first Thanksgiving, let
us glance, shall we say, at the mar
kets of America in 1911. Fruits have
been gathered from the orchards of
Oregon. Michigan. California. Connec
ticut, Florida, and from too many lo
calities and states for enumeration
here. Think of the peaches, grapes
apples, plums, cherries, pears, or
anges and bananas that the great
country produces. We are learning
how to assist nature by scientific proc
esses In farming so that annually our
orchards and vineyards are compet
ing with our mines of coal, silver and
copper as sources of wealth. Our
grains, wheat, oats, rye, rice and In
dian corn yield us enough to feed our
own people and replenish the exhaus
tion of other lands. When the crops
are abundant there Is rejoicing from
coast to coast. The farmers ha'e
many things to contend with. Some
times there is a plague of grasshop
pers or of locusts, sometimes there Is
drought, and again there are floods,
but, on the whole, from year's end to
year's end, the soli gives back In Di
vine multiplication the seed which the
human hand has sown. We cannot sit
down at the simplest Thanksgiving din
ner without seeing upon it contribu
tions from every section of our big re
public.
As women and girls are the tfue
homemakers. It Is well for them to
take a sincere and intelligent inter
est ‘n the affairs of their country. Men
seldom rise higher in ; odness. frank
ness and patriotism than the women
whose influence over them tends to
purity, bravery and truth. We ought
to care about the politics of our coun
try. When we thank God for peace,
wo ought to be additionally grateful
that the menace of war has been
swept out of sight by the wise lead
ership in our councils of . state. When
we thank God for schools and for free
dom of speech and an untrammeled
press and good hooks that are as
plentiful as autumn leaves, we should
again remind ourselves and the chil
dren around us that we owe these
tokens of advanced civilization to our
republican government and to the
goodness and guardian care of Je
hovah. who has given us "dominion
over palm and pine.”
Another word may be In order.
Why should w e compress our Thanks
giving Into one day? Why not be
thankful all the time for the little
things as for the great ones, and
most of all for the dear ones of
hearth and home?
Home Influence Upon Child
- *
Thought From Jane Addams Which
Demonstrates Its Lasting Effect
Is Worth Consideration.
A mother croons an old-time song as
she toils. A father speaks kindly as
home from work he crosses the j
threshold which leads to wife and rest
from labor. The child—the stepping
stone between mother and father, the
connecting link—hears both song and
gentle word.
The father, still toil stained, wheth
er he comes from field or shop, stoops
to kiss the mother, also toil stained.
He speaks softly, mayhap:
“Howdy, sweetheart; glad to be
home again."
She turns a sweat-marked face up
to his, in farmhouse or tenement, and
answers:
“I’m glad to have you home.”
Of all this the child is the witness.
Things of the world are yet new and
strange to it Mysteries still confront
it. Guiding stars it is searching for,
and lo, in the very greetings of mother
and father, in their own loving atti
tude toward each other, this unde
veloped life finds a star.
Such is the influence of environ
ment of two personalities—that of
father and mother—upon the ques- i
tioning child, blood of their blood and j
flesh of their flesh. Haw powerful,
how everlasting, when between moth
er and father, patience, self-considera
tion, forbearance and forgiving are
always kept uppermost in the mind'.
If, on the other hand, the child must
3ee in daily home life impatience, self
ishness; hear hasty or angry words,
from those whom it knows long before
it understands the law of city, county,
state, or nation, what contempt must
naturally grow in its heart for those
things that make for the best of life—
law and order, gentleness of speech,
regard and love for others, trustful
ness and hopefulness
The personal home environment of
a child has much to do with its
future 6tate of mind as to respect for
work, law and humanity.
Advice to Alpine Climbers.
In the earlier part of the nineteenth
century many even of those who had
been up Alpine peaks themselves de
nounced the sport. Regarding the as
cent of Mount Blanc. Murray's Hand
book in the year 1838 stated that “all
who have succeeded have advised no
one to attempt it," and nearly 20
years later noted the "remarkable
fact that a large proportion of those
who have made this ascent have been
persons of unsound mind."
KEEPING DOWN HUMAN SUPPLY
For some time the doctors have
been skirmishing about the idea of
creating life artificially. Life remarks.
The latest reports from Europe in
dicate that this is now an assured
fact and the manufacture of life will
doubtless soon be placed upon a com
mercial basis.
We cannot but regard this as a
great calamity. The tariff, the In
crease in gold and many other causes
have been assigned. The real cause,
however, Is that there are too many
people. There is an overproduction
in human beings. Until we can cut
this down we shall be increasingly
embarrassed by the cost of living
Instead of adding to the possibility
of creating life, therefore, we should
seek some means to curtail it. Be
sides, everybody that is born now
wants to be of some consequence.
Every man would be king and every !
woman cueen.
I'nless we can keep down the total
supply of human beings there is trou
ble ahead.

HOW HE LANDED THE FISH
Expert Angler Saw Situation and With
True Genius Seized the Op
portunity.
“Bob Esam stood six feet six to his
socks, lived In the mountains of West
Virginia and kept a pack of 40
hounds," said a New York angler.
“He was not only a mighty hunter,
but an expert and resourceful fisher
man.
“While he was out on the back
prong of Glady with a party of tourists
they noticed the trout leaping out of
the water after a reddish fly, and not
one of them had any fishing tackle.
While searching in his pockets for
tackle Esam discovered a rubber band
around a wallet. He removed it and
cut it so that he had a piece of elastic
about, six inches long.
“He then cut a small strip from
his red flannel shirt about the size of
the fly the trout were rising for and
tied it to one end of the elastic. The
other end he attached to a pole which
he drove into the bank of the stream, !
s^ that the red flannel bait hung out I
over and about a foot above the wa
ter This done he got back behind a
tree where the trout could not see him
"Presently a trout rose to that flau
nel decoy, grabbed it, and to his aston
lshment its teeth became entangled
in the flannel and he was flipped out
on the bank—and that thing kept flip
ping trout out until there were none
left in that pool, but there were, so
Bob said, 69 on the bank by actual
count.”—New. York Sun.
