PAGE FOUR ^ V the SALE MITE Saturday. Dec. 8. 1928. Sports and Soccer Basket ball is over, and It it now time to win new fame in new fields. And what field could better be se lected than the soccer one? Girls have often been known to express the wish that they could play foot ball. Well, girls, why not soccer instead? You get the same elation in kicking the ball, and miss the aft er aches of broken bones, for in soc cer you can hardly do anything worse than bark your shins or some body else’s. Then if you are good in hockey, you will probably be still better in soccer, for the rudiments of the two games are very much alike. In fact the main differences are that in soccer you use nature’ gift of a foot instead of a stick, and that you play with a big light ball instead of a small hard one. One of the biggest assets of the soccer sport is that every member of every class has eleven excellent chances of making the team. With eleven va cant positions on a team anyone who has pep and steam enough to run up and down the field several times should be able to earn a place on the first team. There is even hope for those who can not trot fifty yards without puffing. For them is the position of goal guard. All they have to do is stand between the goal posts and keep the ball from getting by them. Easy as sitting in a rock ing chair—don’t you think ^ Everyone who desires to be one of the lucky forty-four who makes places on the soccer teams must get busy and hustle, because the soccer season will only last about three weeks. Come out for soccer. It will be excellent training for hockey which is going to start immediately after the soccer season is over, and truly you will get a huge kick out of it. (That is absolutely guaran teed). STATE COLLEGE STUDENTS ■ FAVOR SELF-GOVERNMENT (Continued From Page One) opinions on the question of modifica tion differed sharply.

BOOK REVIEW SWAN SONG By John Galsworthy With this last work, Galsworthy finishes bis delineation of the do ings of that interesting cluu of For syte. Old Soames dies and with him passes the vigor and spirit that characterized the family. Fleur Forsyte is perhaps hi* loveliest woman character. Radiant in beauty, witty and exuberant, she brings personal interest to a rather uninteresting theme. A long dis course on an involved political situ ation would be unendurable without the force of Michael Fogarty and his love for Fleur. Galsworthy has, perhaps, the most unique style of any present-day writer. Simplicity is the keynote and there is always some rare, un expected beauty in a cleverly turned phrase or sentence. Emphasis is always placed on characterization based on elemental feelings of the jjerson. Always the good in any situation dominates the evil and a perusal of any work of his leaves a feeling of cleanliness, of worthwhile endeavor and of purity. Delicacy That Wasn’t To Elephant's Liking I remember years ago we had elephant which became a positive nuisance for stealing people’s bags and parcels, says William Blore, ii a London paper. This particular elephant was much worse than the average. There was no stopping him. If he saw a hand bag or paper parcel anywhere near his walk he had it! One day there was an old gentle man standing by the side of the board walk with several children. Under his arm he carried a brown paper bag. The elephant was nearly level with him before he noticed the bag, and before you could say “knife” there was a startled cry from the old gentleman—the elephant had the bag. His keeper gave him a shout and a sharp tap on the head, but it was no use, the elephant was not letting go, and in a moment had the bag his mouth! Only for a second. In a moment there was a shrill trumpeting of in dignation and horror, and out came a crushed-looking bag with some thing green protruding. The old gentleman had been carrying home a tine specimen of South American cactus with prickles two inches long f Modem Dress Admits Imitation in Plenty Our grandmothers were sticklers for the “real thing,” and the only sham openly permitted in their well- ordered homes was a pillow sham, says the London Daily Mail. Real lace, real linen, real gems—“imita tion Jewelry, my dear, is only i by servants”—real silver, the i hard worked adjectives were applied to all their most prized possessions. And one of the signs of a real lady was that she wore nothing sham; and if she could not afford real lace for her petticoat, she trim med it with tatting; if she did not own a real gold bracelet, then she put up with silver, but never silver- gilt Imitations were considered vulgar, the hall-mark of persons lacking in taste and breeding. But her granddaughter dresses artificial silk and sparkles with imi tation jewels; the fur on her coat is a sham, so is the fashionable leather of her handbag, and the tor toiseshell of her umbrella handle; she will partake without flinching of coffee that comes out of a bottle, imitation butter and ginger which was vegetable marrow. Ancient Lighthouse At the most northerly point of Jutland, where the North sea and the Kattegat meet, is an ancient light house. The waters there have a bad reputation among seafaring men, but the men who have named the beacon have just the opposite, of them having been heroes of a high order. Many centuries ago, says tradition, this lighthouse was built by a peasant, Thorkel Skarpa, and his shepherd clan. A fishing village in time grew up around the beacon and King Erik of Pommern, ' e was called, though king of Denmark, gpranted it a town charter in 1418.
