SATO CLOSES LECTURE SERIES Monday Speaks on Enonom ics. Subject Wednes day is Religion SERIES HAS BEEN VERY INSTRUCTIVE Japan is Essentially Agricultural. Cultivation Very Intense. Bice Chief Product. Japan has Originated No Religion. In Desperate Need of a Strong God. Dr. Sato's fourth lecture was delivered in Chapel Monday night to another large and appreciative audience. He gave a comprehen sive; view of the Agricultural credit and Rural Sociology of Japan in her "various stages of civili.aliou. Starting his lecture by saying' that Japan had been essentially agricultural since pre. historic times, he went over the course of her development through the several periods of ideas. At the time of the Res toration in 1868 the actual tillers of the land became" the real own ers of the farms. Man power is for the most part used in the cul tivation of rice and other pro ducts of the soil. In late times, Japan has struck the modern "" problem of keeping the young people on the farms because the youngeJ folks are attracted by the city and the good wages of the factories. About two-thirds of Japan's population is rural. Investigations of modern ideas in I a n k i u g, a gr i c 1 1 1 1 u re a ml many ..; other. industries led to the estab lishment : of agricultural and industrial banks. These .-banks, with large capital, have been of untold benefit to the farmes and manufacturers, of 'which banks the farmers are the chief eco nomic supporters. Farming, as sociations are found to be great economic advantages. Postal Savings banks are in good condi tion. The Imperial Rescript of 1908 is considered a moral code in the business world as well as in urban and rural districts. Japan's rural sociology is based on Mr. Ninominya's system' of Rural Renovation. Such an in fluence this man has had on Japan's progress, that he is look ed upon by many as divine, and is called "the economic physician of rural domains". Rural Behe olence Associations were formed hy this great rural philosopher. Frugality and simplicity are being required of citizens. Japan has realized that to get along the best way possible she must have her citizens educated. At a result there is today only a 2 per ent illeratc population. Dr. Sato concluded by saying that in Japan "the signs of the time are decidedly in favor of an enlight ened rural reconstruction in which agricultural credit and rural sociology must go hand in hand in the march of the twen tieth century civilization.'' After the lecture Dr. Heckel man showed lantern slides of interesting personages and scenes in Japan which he explained. Among the illustrations was that Concluded on third page NEW FOOTBALL RULES Coach Trenchard Wants You To Read This. While the two football rules committees, sitting in joint ses sion at New York last Friday and Saturday, made twelve changes in the rules, none of these will work a distinct change in the game. Indeed, the most effective work of the committees will be found in the propositions which were defeated. The more important changes include a . new rule curtailing sideline coaching. While the coach is not mentioned in the rule, its adoption is obviously to pre vent him having too much to do with the playing of the game. The rule reads "No person shall be allowed to walk up and down the sidelines. All persons within the plaving enclosure must be seated." While therefore a coach may remain seated in the enclosure sideline coaching should be great ly diminished by this new rule. The practice of the players in crossing over by way of the neutral zone was legislated against in a new rule that no player shall encroach on the neutral zone after cither side lias ; lined up. This rule was deemed necessary to pre vent confusion, and roughing on the part of the players, just be fore the ball is put in play. Caro lina was enalized for trying to prevent Georgia from doing this last fall. A new rule imposes a ten-yard penalty from the point where the ball is put in play, for intention ally passing the ball forward to the yround. It will be remember ed that during the past season this play was sometimes used to prevent loss of ground when a player about to make a forward pass was tackled back of his line or was otherwise prevented from getting the pass off. By passing the ball forward to the ground, the side having the ball merely lost a down, and the defensive did not receive the reward of having forced the ball back. A ten-yard nenaitv. instead ot merely the Joss of a down, seems a reasonable re ward for such good defensive work. .' The position of field judge was restored, but whether the field judge is to act is left to the op tion of the contending teams. One change in the rules result ed from a play in the Yale-Harvard' game of last autumn. It will be remembered that O'Brien of Harvard made an unintentional safety by carrying the ball back of his goal-line after it had struck the goal-posts in a kick off and bounded back into the field of play. To prevent such an un earned score, the rule was amend ed so that on a kick-off if the ball strikes the goal post and rebounds to the field of play it shall be de clared a touchback. The kick-out after a touchback or safety was also abolished. For several years it has been optional whether in this case the. ball should 'bc-put in play by a kick or by a scrimmage.

Quint BOTH GAMES WERE GOOD EXHIBITIONS Dowd Plays Good Game Against Old Alma Mater. Captain Long Does Good Work on Foul Shooting, Cag ing 10 out of 13 in the Wake For est Contest. Homewood Shows Im provement Saturday night Wake Forest did credit to herself in winning from Carolina iu basket ball. The game was fast, like the first game with Wake Forest played here two weeks ago. Carolina got possession of the ball after the initial toss up. and scored two fouls before the score keeper had occasion to mark up anything on Wake Forest side. Then as that senseless saying goes"First comes out worst", Carolina lost the ball. During the first half, which end ed with the score 22-15 in favor of Wake Forest, some excellent passing was done by Wake For est. The second half was not nearly so well played nor so in teresting as the first, as each team spent a -good deal 6f time" in opposing Mr. umps decisions, For Wake Forest, Hall did best work, while Long did most to pile up Carolina's score, shooting ten goals out of a total of thir teen. The attendance was ex ceptionally large. The final score was 39 to 30. In a slow, sluggish game of a seemingly unending 40 minutes Carolina won the third game of the series with Durham Y. M. C. A., by the score 44 to 28. Both teams were slow and unaggres sive, and Carolina had very little trouble in scoring by accurate shooting, The first half was a complete walk over and ended 27 to S in Carolina's favor. In this half Homewood irot away with several long dribbles for goals; these features brought down the entire house of 97 people, includ ing Carolina's 15 supporters. The second half, instead of being an excuse for Carolina to run up a large score, was played with almost equal success by both teams. Ih this half Carolina scored 17 points, while Durham's score was 20. Durham ' landed several pretty shots from mid floor, and Carrington's unsuccess ful attempt to put one in for Car olina was by no means ungrace fully executed, Tcnneut's de fense was at all times good. Dowd led the scoring with 8 field goals. This gives Carolina two out of three of the Durham series. Coach Trenchard is off the Hill for a few days. He intends to visit the alumni and see as man of them personally as pos sible and strengthen their interest in athletics. A flash light picture was made of the Di Society in action Satur day night.

Political Econ omist TOLD REAL REASON FOR WORLD PEACE Regular Periods of Depression and Prosperity: in Business. Consis- : tantly Profitable Commerce Pepend Upon International Cooperation. r One of the most enjoyable, in teresting, and instructive lectures of the year was that delivered in Chapel Tuesday night by Dr. Karl Rathgen, of the Colonial Institute, Hamburg, and Kaiser Von Wilhelm Exchange Profes sor of Political Economy at Columbia University. His lec ture. dealt with economic prob lems and development in Germany . for the past quarter-century, and their relation to the rest of the world. ' Dr. Rathgen began by citing the gloomy predictions of the despondent school of German Economy who followed the in dustrial depression of 1873-1897. These theorists had two princi pal fears, overpopulation in Ger many, and the ruin of her foreign trade by the industrial develop ment in newer countries. Quot ing statistics and figures with 1 the utmost facility, Dr. Rathgen explained the grounds for these fears and showed how, far from their being realized, Germany had for the last twenty Tears en joyed a period of unprecedented progress. Population grew tremendously for a country already old and crowded, and this increase had to be provided for. Since the agricultural population was in capable, of expansion, the increase turned eagerly into the industries Then larger food imports had to be made to keep out the insuffi cient domestic farm products. ;In turn manufactures had to be in creased and improved for export ation in exchange for these necessaries. This is the situa tion that Germany successfully met, in spite of the industrial growth . of other countries. In the tremendous progress of the last twenty years all over the world, the Fatherland is still slightly ahead; and two-thirds, of her exports go to those countries which it was feared would be her commercial ruin. The application of this lesson, Dr. Rathgen said, is that the great manufacturing countries are mutuallj' their own best cus tomers. Their interests are not conflicting, but the prosperity of each depends upon the others. All age interlinked; their wealth and progress go hand in hand. $205 has been sent' in on the Barnett Fund for this year. The University students annnally have pledged $500 to the support of Eugene Barnett in the China Mission work. R. B. House has charge of collecting this fund this year.
