f
'. New York, March 13. Change of j
; the rule governing a safety and sug
j gestion that officials who take part
in professional games " be, barred,
! were made at the annual meeting of
1 the foot ball rules committee, which
closed here yestqrday. '
; . Following a safety, the rule was
chaneed to read that the ball shall
be put into play on the 30-yard line,
instead of the. 20-yard line. The
alteration' was made because of the
difficulty of spectators in differentiat
ing between a safety and a touch
back. , ,
', The committee suggested to the
central board of officials, that after
the season of 1921, no college foot
ball official who shall officiate in a
professional game shall be eligible
for any further college uot ball con
tests. It was ruled tha the referee shall
toss the coin for the call of the
oneninc olav and the winninc can-
tain having numbered his choice of
such play, cannot revoke such de
cisions. In au effort to curtail cutting down
a player from behind, the committee
elaborated by the rule on unneces
sary roughness to include running
into, diving into or throwing the
body against a player obviously out
of the play. The penalty, which
stands as a loss of 15 yards, was
extended to include such loss on
the kick-off following a touchdown
in case such score siould result in
the play in which the penalty was in
curred. Grand Rapids Bowlers

wrath. "So you think I'm about

! tensified -by the cutting sneer in his
voice, t It slashed straiaht tnrougn
all the good resolutions I had made
to let nothing rouse my tempter.

Dicky strode after me. putting a
compelling hand on my shoulder and
turned me so that I faced him.

quick contrition which often follows
his ugly moods. "I suppose 1 was
a bit rough jtist now, but you can't
know how ridiculous your proposi

I talk to vou in words of one svl

as usual, I couldn't resist' smiling
back at him. But underneath the
smile lay still the remembrance of
the stinging words and manner 'he
had used. They "could not be rubbed
out so easily.
"From your description of that
dame," Dicky began oracularly. "I
can tell she's the kind that's going
to make a howl anyway on gener

of people the more you do for 'em
the more .they suspect your motive.

one trying to be honorable in busi

1 heroically reproved the desire to
tell him that other .people's princi
ples, or lack of them, were no ex
cuse for the lowering of our own
standards, and listened to him as
attentively as if I approved ycvcry
word he was tittering.
"Now." he went on, ' that woman,
of course, lias the general scheme of

"Do' you want me. to be frank:" I
asked.
Dicky took his head in his hands
and began to pace up and down the
room.

"Frank!" he exclairrfed. "That's the
last straw! When people ask you if
vou want them to be frank, and you.
sav yes good night! You can b.

"In that case," I said smiling, for
I was determined not to get into an
altercation with him, "perhaps I'd
better"
"Oh, go on! Spill it!'' he said ir
ritably. "I'm not exactly a throttler
of free speech, you know "
"Well, then." 1 said quietly, "I
dont' agree with you, but I am per
fectly willing to abide by your de

unpleasantly, ''that you'd like to slide

"But there's one thing you won't

He held me off from him and
looked steadily, quizzically at me un

color mount into my cheeks.
"You feel a lot like kissing me.'?
he said mockingly. "You'd much

But I never decline a lady's chal

arms and kissed me. Ftnifing half

had done so.

comprehending grin.

WHY-
Is "Jen Crapaud" Symbolic of
France?
Practically all the prominent na
tions of the world have come, by vir
tttc of the custom of the years, to be
symbolized in the person of one
man, to whom are attributed a num
ber of outstanding peculiarities of
the country. Thus we haw Uncle
Sam as typical of the United States,
John Bull as symlxic of Fngland.
the German Michac, the Russian
Ivan Ivanovitch and the French
Jean Crapaud. But, while Uncle
Sam had its origin in a mistake
made by ignorant soldiers durin
the War of 1812. and John Bull was
the creation of a brilliant satirist,
Jean Crapaud harks back to tin
reign t)f Louis XIV. and an even
more ancient prophecy.
When the French took the c'ty of
Aras from the Spaniards, after a
long and desperate siege, a nuni
I er of persons claimed to find a
forecast of this event in the staU--n.ent
of Nostradamus that "Les an-rk-ns
crapaud prendont Sara" "l'lu
ancient toads shall take Sara' Ths
name used by Nostradamus, it wa
I'ol'Vrd, was nothing more than Aras
spelt backwards, and it was claimed
thai the phrase "ancient -toafls" re
ferred ti the French, as that nation
formerly had for its aruMrial bear
ings virec. toads, instead of fleur-de-lis
which appeared, in later years.
The name found favor among the
peasantry, and '.'Jean Crapaud" soon .
became a mythical personage who
possessed all the best attributes of
the nation as a whole finally to be
immortalized in the familiar figure
with the waxed mustaches, the bell-
shaped trousers and tapering silk
hat of the cartoonist.

Parents' Problems
Ts it safe to allow a girl of 19
to run an automobile?
The law. allows any person "over
18" whoc an qaulify, to have a license
to run an automible. Great care is
taken that would-be drivers of auto
mobiles do qualify that is, actually
demonstrate that they can run an
automobile, understand the traffic
regulations, etc. But parents should
supplement this by considering
whether their daughter (and sons)
are responsible, careful and of steady
heads and hands. Running an auto
mobile is "Mot entirely safe, at any
age.
