PALS Hungafiafi Harasser’ Spark 0f Viclorious Yolunieers GEORGE CAFEGO; NO TiME FOR DATES By ESCAR THOMPSON KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 15. George Cafego, a 170-pound West Virginia wheelhorse, is the fuse be- hind the guns in the University of Tennessee eleven. He was the one to spark Tennessee to a triumphant season and to an Orange Bowl bid. Strangely enough, Major Robert R. Neyland, his coach, is just about the only coach, scout or writer who, after seeing Cafego, isn’t on record as saying he's the finest back in the South. That's explained by the fact Neyland, a superstitious fellow, is afraid he would “jinx" his spark- plug by giving him a boost in lhe‘ public prints. Neyland answers all about Cafego with a terse: a fine back.” Coach Frank Thomas said: “He's the finest back I've seen this year,” after the wiry Hungarian youth ran roughshod over Thomas' Ala- bama Red Elephants.

He barely saw service against Sewanee and the Citadel A modest, unassuming youth Cafego will discuss football by the hour, but he dismisses his personal exploits with: “If it weren't for those fellows in the line, we guys in the backfield wouldn’t have a chance.

The German answer was that | she had a balance of trade with | cther nations which left her with | «pare exchange to pay on bonds. With the U.

Ambassa- | dor Wilson didn't think that sound- | =d so good, not while Germany was able to get money to buy bonds at cut rates but could not find money to pay for them at an honest dol- iar for dollar. Incidentally, a couple of South American countries have played the same trick in the United States. Chile is going about it systemati- cally, with a regular government fund.

Business Training For Girls Woman R-ailréad Execu-( tive Makes As:ertion from Experience AURELIUS KINSEY AP CHICAGO. Feature Service Writer | Dec. 15.—Mrs. Edith Jarvis Alden used to play in the | home offices of the Burlington Railre at Burlington Towa, when | she was a little girl. Today, at 54, she is secretary of the road, first woman high executive Burlington has had in its eighty- eight years of existence. | “Big the offers many opportunities,” Mrs. Alden says, “and one of the best ways for a woman to attain success is to understand that she is participat mg in a man's world and should adapt herself to do things a man's way. | Striking Out Alone “I believe every girl should have business training, regardless of her station in life. She may have her heart upon marriage and family as a career but a little knowledge of business require- ments and methods will help her | understand better some of the hus- | band’s problems. And, too, she may ' have to strike out alone and sup- port herself some day.” ! As far back as Mrs. Alden can remember someone in her family worked for the Burlington road. | Her uncle, Walter J. Jarvis; her father, Harry E. Jarvis, and an older brother, Fred S. Jarvis, were secretaries to Burlington presi- dents, vice-presidents or division superintendents. ! Asa chlid she heard the Burling- | ton’s business, board meetings, | mortgages and policies discussed time and again. So it seems natural to her that the Burlington should be the major part of her life now. Started During War Mrs. Alden started to work for the railroad during the World War. She helped handle Liberty Bond sales to its employees. She contin- ued with the road and recently was elected to succeed Charles L. Sturgis, 78, as secretary, when he retired after 58 years of service. Railroading offers a few oppor- tunities to women, Mrs. Alden says, but she doesn’t think that they are greater than those in any other business. Her work, for in- stance, is filled with details, legal interpretations and application that thrill her, but might bore the next woman She tried mixing housework and business, but found the days were too short for both. So she stuck to railroading. | The Aldens were separated by divorce in 1923. Mrs. Alden lives with her twenty-six-year-old son, John Jarvis Alden. His interests lean toward radio, advertising, music and writing. The two enjoy a close companionship. Mrs. Alden has a variety of hob- bies, topped by her desire to grow flowers, get out into the open coun-' try, swim and travel. She chooses books relating the experiences of business women . « « REUNION for COTTISH RITE MASONS ~ tal yesterday afternoon.
