SUNDAY FOOTBALL | [ sceves w vausew or | {CALL WORED WAR 1S RULED ILLEGAL Pittsburgh Informed Golf and Tennis Are Allowable on Day of Rest. By the Associated Prese. PITTSBURGH, October 9.—Sunday football stood alone tonight as the only athletic diversion forbidden Pitts- burghers tomorrow by Director of Publio Safety James M. Clark in his campalgn to enforce the anclent “blue laws.” The drastic curtailment of the ai- rector’s program to stop all forms of Sunday sports came after the city law department had ruled that tennis and golf were not unlawful under the statute of 1794 because “‘they do not tend to produce disorder.” Foot ball, however, was held to be an unlawful Sunday sport. The opinion, written by Thomas M. Ben. ner, assistant city solicitor, at Clark’s request, said: “We believe the neces- sary tendency of foot ball games would be to produce disorder, and therefore they should be considered as unlaw- Clark said he would comply strictly with the opinion in his orders to the police and that Sunday golf and tennis will be permitted on city and private links and courts. The safety direc- tor's shift of plans was one of a number he made during the past few days, and brought the Sunday sports question back to the point where it first reached agitation proportions a week ago. At that time Clark issued a police order to prevent Sunday gridiron games and later suspended two in- spectors for not enforcing the order last Sunday. Then he enlarged the order to include all forms of Sunday athletics, first directing police to take the names of violators for prosecution and later ordering that arrests be made on the scene. G. H.

Ford O. (Tex) Rogers, Marine Corps aviator, wears the prize—a caterpillar, Tex, who flew with the British i Belgium during the war, has reported for duty in the office of Ma E. H. Brainard, chief of Marine Cor aviation, and with this little gold caterpillar on his tunie. But that caterpillar means more to Tex than anything else he drapees on his uniform—it means that a para- chute saved his life, and therefore that implies right away that he is a memeber of that exclusive club—the Caterpillar Club. Up until the marine came into Washington with the little caterpillar on his uniform the impression was allowed to go out into the hinterland that the Caterpillar Club was a myth- fcal organization. But the little gold bug is proof to the contrary. It is about one-half an inch long, about one-quarter of an inch wide, and sports a few legs and a couple of feelers. Tex won membership in the club several months ago at Langley Field, Hampton, Va., where he was a stu- dent at the Army Tactical School. While flying a Thomas-Morse pursuit plane over the field, he took his hand off the stick, unfastened his belt to dig out his watch, when suddenly the nose plunged downward vertically and catapulted Tex out into the air at 145 miles an hour. To say that Tex was taken by sur- prise is making an obvious statement, | but when he finally recovered his composure and found the parachute ! ring, he gave it a jerk and floated down 2500 feet to earth, while his little plane by that time could have been shoveled up and placed in a bushel basket. There are only about 30 members of the club in the United States. STRANGER GRABS $300.

On pro- ducing the $300 roll, he explained, the man grabbed it and disappeared. The money represented Roglin's savings | for months, he said, adding he carried | it on his person rather than trust it his home. | A few hours after a mother and her two children were taken to a hospital at Belfast, Ireland, to be treated for injuries received when knocked down by an automobile, the father entered me institution because of hurts Remarkable used car sale going on at Joseph McReynolds’. i Pot. 1631 Studebaker Bldg., 14th & R Sts.

PHILADELPHIA, October 9.—Ac- counts of the World War in American schoel histories are ‘“absurd, silly and ridiculous,” Col. Thomas J. Dixon, chaplain of the 1st Division, Ameri- can expeditionary forces, told mem- bers of the Military Order ofl the World War yesterday. “I read and studied history in the Congressional Library In Washington,” he said, “and found that in all cases of study, from ele- mentary history to college editions they were hopelessly inadequate and inaccurate. “There were flagrant volumes of errors of 905 7th Up to $575 fea will be poisoned 'before they are Other Uphalstered Suites SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The whole set of alleged histories put me in mind of a collec- tion of fairy tales.” Col. Dixon said t hat he had been told by an official of the National As- soclation of School Superintendents that wars and battles eventually would be eliminated from history books. and would be superceded by economic problems, trade relations and things of “mutyal interest between nations." “This means only one thing” he added. “The minds of young Ameri- able te realize the importance of a substantial standing army. For two years { have tried to get school organizations and educators to correct their histories and they have paid no attention to me.
