Farrell (United Press Correspondent) New York, Dec. 8.—It's a shame that eleven are only eleven. If an All-American eleven could be stretched into a dozen and a half or two dozen. picking the season's combination of bests might not be a problem so closely akin to settling the Irish question.’ After a season in which the grid- { the east, west, north and south, were almost crammed with| high-cl periormers, it is a task for beycnd one pair of eyes to judge the eleven best. Coming near to it is a more human task. The season of 1920 developed a preponderence of brilliant half-backs. quarter-backs and centers, with a good number of tackies. No guards; out like “Swede” Yolmgslrumi vear’s team, or no ends blaz-| s the field like Bob Higgins aud Heine Miller, 1t will be observed there are rep- every section except the Pacific coast| the fa west. \With the full| 1at in those fertile fields | football there are many players of sufficient ability to hold their own with some of these three mythical ions, the writer had to ig- nore that section on account of lack |; of detailed information regarding these players. e hardest task in sifting out the stars came among the quarlerbd.cks“ the centers and the palfbacks. Bo MecMillin is a great quarter but the writer after watching e in three major mes, can't imagine how the Southeruer can be superior to him. Lourie does everything that Me-!| Millin does and he kicks in addition. | He crafty a general as roams the chalk-lined fleld and he kept his colers high thru a much harder schedule and much greater opposi- ticn than MeMillin, i Callahan, Princeton, and Pittsburgh, are two great cen- but they are both bad passers. was removed from considera- ion because his bad pass kept Pitt from beating Penn State. (iipp, the star Notre Dame back, stood out as the greatest halfback o fthe year and the one who had vear and the one who had were picked because almost alone ey carried Pittsburgh and Penn State to the record that makes it poszible for them to claim the east- ern championship. French and Garrity by all means chould be on an All-American team. and Crangle, also, but they suffered by having their stars shine in a firmament filled with meteors.

At least a year | will be required to complete it. The| gigantic smokestack will tower 175 feet over the building. Devices for absorbing smoke will be used. Sev-| eral 100,000 horsepower generators will furnish subscribers with power. It will be known as the Steel Point Power Plant. Perhaps the most interestig feat- ure is the method of handhing fuel. Tt will not be touched by humnn‘ hands from delivery until what re- mains of it is dumped as ashes into| the waters of the Sound. Barges wvill bring the coal to the plant. Au-| tomatic devices will dump it into the | bunkers and other machinery will, carry it down to the boilers as re- quired. The barge, having discharg- ed its fuel, will be automatically loaded with ashes, which will be dumped into the Sound, again by machinery. Buy Christmas Seals: Most Crowded City.

Farmers who get a crowing hen among the brood in the yard often look upon it _as an evil omen, says a writer in London Tit>Bits. A superstitious farmer considers his poultry as prophets; thus, if his own death is near, he will tell you that they will go to bed at noon instead of at their usual roosting time. Numerous birds are mixed up with signs of death. Let a pigeon enter a house or a robin corhe through the door, and some people expect calamity. Owls, again, are ominous birds to the, superstitious, - especially if they hoot from the housetop. For a single magpie to cross the each other to avert the evil influence, When swallows and martins build about a farmyard the superstitious pear regularly year by year, for should they desert their old nests he expects misfortune, The call of the cuckoo has always been mixed up with good and bad luck, Hear it while walking, and provided it is the first time you have heard it that year, it is sald to indicate a happy new year for you. When the farmer’s wife sets eggs she will sometimes place an odd num- ber in the nest if she wants her chicks to prosper. The superstitious farm- wife will not bring eggs into the house after sunset. ° Peacocks’ feathers in a house are said to mean misfortune, but for an; eagle to hover over a person or house is thought to indicate an approaching success, WON BY APPEAL TO VANITY How Wily Diplomat Saved Lord Bea- consfield From Bad “Break” He Had Oontemplated. Curiosity, says a London correspond- ent of the Christlan Science Moniter, is frequently expressed to how the| prime minister gets alofg in his con- ferences with foreign ministers. It is understood that, though he can make out the purport of a printed passage in the French language, he never had the opportunity of acquiring facility in the spoken tongue. In this respect he finds a precedent in the case of Lord Beaconsfleld. . When he went to the Berlin congress in 1878 he made known to his faithful secretary his in-| tention of addressing the conference in French. Monty Cory, having suf- fered scraps of his chief's colloquial French, was aghast. In despair he ap- plied to the British minister at Berlin for assistance. Odo Russell lived up to the occasion. In casual conversa- tlon with Lord Beaconsfleld he men- tioned that he had heard a rumor that le intended to address the plenipo-| tentiuries on the {following day in ¥reuch. “That would,” the wily min- ister said, “be a grave d!sappoint- meat. They know that they have here | In you the greatest living master of English oratory, and are looking for-| ward to your speech as the intellectual i treat of their lives.” “Dizzy” immedlate- | ly saw the reasonableness of this ob- | Jection and all his speeches during the| == stz of e conzress were i 502 42 @ @ DO OGO CCEC 0000000 2000000068°000000 S ; lish.

Pontiug Piiate, It was declared, re- turning from Galilee, fled to Mount Pilatus, pear Luzerne in Switzerland, in the bitterness of remorse, and drowned himself in a tiny lake on the summit. All the storms and calami- ties on Lake Lucerne were ascribed to -the workings of his restless spirit, wrought to wrath by the disturbance of his watery domain. Severe punish- ment awaited those who dared ap- proach his supposed tomb, That tomb was fearfully and wonderfully de- scribed, but in reality it is only a pond, melted snow collected in a hollow. It frequently dries up in summer, with never a vestige of a Pilate to show. Blue Lights Clean Casks. For some years ultra-violet rays have been used for sterilizing water, milk and other fluids. The idea has now been applied to the disinfecting of barrels and casks. Electric lanips are lowered into the casks and the lights turned on for 15 to 30 seconds. In ordinary barrels coated with pitch the violet rays cannot be left on for a longer period as the jpcrease of tem- i perature causes pitch fumes to rise. The lamps vary in size according to the dimenslons of the casks. So far, this method of disinfection by rays has been used successfully only upon casks and barrels which are coated | with piteh. — Remembered Perfectly. “Good old college days” are not al- ways convenient social assets.

Time is the acid test and merit is proof of its contentions. Chiropractic 1s the result of viewing the human body from an entirely new angle. Older health methods have completely over- lonked the cause of disease and most every form of bodily ailment, all of which are due to derangements in the hu- man spine, which displacements obstruct the passage of h.:ith energy from the brain to the parts afflicted. These conditions are the real cause of disease, a fact that has been demonstrated through twenty-three years on thpu- sands of patients of the chiropractors through restoring health by chiropractic spinal adjustment. Your own case is no more difficult than hundreds of others I have successfully handled. If it has so far proved too stubborn to yield to the em_zrts of other health practitioners, you need not consider it a hopeless case. Many cases so pronounced have founq full recovery through my adjustment. Let me examine your spine without any charge and I will candidly inform you whether adjustments will help you. The most of my pa- tients have been persons whom others had failed to re- lieve. I can refer you to many benefited persons among them who will confirm the merit to be found in my work. A brief time in my care will satisfy you of the benefits chiropractic adjustments e e e e e e ———————N A. DANNENBERG Chiropractor Bemidji, Minn.
