THE OLD GRIDIRON The f alphas come with cooler days and urges on the football craze; the old gridiron yejls again: "Bring on my two and twenty men." Last year a bunch of college stu feuds were training on some foreign feuds were training on soe foreign ' hill to go and tackle Kaiser Bill. ; And out upon the village green where football squads had once seen the rookies drilled with faces set and vowed sweet William's face to get. The pig skin 'pill had ceased to do to bust the opposition thru and they were using pills of lead design ed to lit the Kalsor's head. But now we have another year in which the football craze is here; the Btudes are training every day and playing in the same old way. Once more the village green each ' afternoon there may be seen a , bunch of huskies fine and fit, who scrap and mess it up a bit. So fall has come with cooler days and urges on the football craze; the old gridiron yells once more and something better is in store. N. A.

' For nearly a .century and a half we have been working , along on that theory in this country and it has not been disproved yet. From time to time it hid withstood them . triumphantly. We are in the act of testing it out again, in the conference that, has just begun its labors ,in Washington between employ era and employes. Everybody 1 is agreed, that things have come to' a pretty bad pass iri the United States. Living costs .have risen to all but impossi ble heights. Every commodity has been constantly increas- inc in price, and labor has gone highest of all. On the con trary production has not in creased materially in any line, and in some it has slumped ' dangerously. On these things there is uni versal agreement. There is - universal .agreement also in the, belief that the present trend cannot continue indefi nitely. The road we have been traveling recently leads inescapably to ruin of that both labor and capital are Convinced. The disagreement commen ces when it comes to fixing the responsibility for the present shape of affairs, and necessar ily continues as to the logical and practical way of remedy ing it. It is the idea of work ing around this disagreement that the conference is sitting in Washington ; and it has been called on the theory of the willingness of the average man, ' j-'l; BUT IN WORKING I SOMETIMES FORGET THAT I AM OUT OF THE SERVICE AND I LOOK DOWN TO' SEE IF MY TROUSERS ARE ON OR OFF AND FURTHERMORE YOU REALIZE THAT IN "THE SERVICE DURING DUTY HOURS THE FAIR SEX WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND A LADY DIDN'T HAVE TO BE PRETTY OR EVEN ATTRACTIVE TO MAKE EVERYBODY TAKE NOTICE AND A FULL INVENTORY THEY WERE ATTACKED FROM ALL SIDES AND SITTING WITH THE BIG GLASS WINDOW TO MY LEFT I FOUND ON x GETTING HERE THAT I STILL HAD THE HABIT OF PAUSING WHENEVER A SKIRT WOULD COME BETWEEN ME AND THE SUN AND LIFE WAS ONE SUCH ARTICLE AFTER ANOTHER BUT TO THIS DAY I STILL FIND MYSELF UNABLE TO GIVE ALL MY ATTENTION TO THE LINOTYPE AND EVERYBODY IRREVOCABLY HAS TO SUFFER SOMEWHAT BECAUSE OF THE DELAY CAUSED BY MB AND I SIMPLY AGONIZE AND THANK YOU 'PRISONER LEAPS FROM SECOND STORY WINDOW WOMAN'S WEAR STORE here's 3 new on& full of Pep-?

A chase that winded Police Chief Holmes and left him spluttering with wrath resulted this morning when Fleetrose Harris, a sailor, arrested by the police for prostitution, leaped from the win dow of the Chief's office In the se cond story of the city hall and made tracks In the direction of Norfolk from which port" the prisoner de clared that his ship sails to-morrow. Harris and the girl in the case, were both In Chief Holmes office when the chief was called out In the hall for a moment.- When he got back his sailor was gone, and the girl said he had gone thru the window. The Chief did not bolieve her at first and made a hasty search for the prisoner In the room. Ho then looked out of the window and there were the man's tracks In the Colombia, 0atlerle; City Electric Service Station V. B. Davis, Mgr. there are bellicose elements among the employers, as also among the employes; but taken as a whole, capital is seeking peace, labor is diligent ly avoiding a fisht. Each ap pears to be ready to jp.ve close attention to the other's side of the argument, and every augury point toward a compromise that will afford the country a prospect of a long industrial peace. If that should, indeed, be the happy consumation of the meeting at Washington, we may as well prepare ourselves in advance to hear a tremen dous howl from extremists of both groups. Revolutioary labor men are already pre judiced against the conference because they see in it the pos sibility of a more or less per manent settlement, on an or derly basis which is the thing that they most dread. Bour bon capitalists are prejudiced against it because they see in it the possibility that the pow er of public opinion may be ar rayed against them to compel them to grant the justice that they have hitherto denied. But the workmanwho is willing to give an honest day's work to an honest day's pay, and the employer who is willing to give an honest day's pay for an honest day's work, will have in the conference an opportunity to clear' up in umerable misunderstandings, to gain a new and wider com prehension 'of each other's dif ficulties, and, fit is earnestly to be hoped, to, reach a basis of agreement which, while not perhaps giving either all that he hoped for, will enable them to work together for the good of both and the salvation of the nation. Greensboro Daily News. The escape got the Chief's dan der up and he set out in hot pur suit. Knowing that the man was anxious to ret to Norfolk he-set out on a bicycle and tried to cut him off before he got out of town, but missed him by about two hundred yards. He discovered that ho was headed for Camden along the Nrr- folk Southern right ot way and j tried to get Kaiwr Upton to stop Mm at the rW.-o.il bridge over tuo Pasquotank, bat Upton declared that h e had no such authority. Mean time Officer Basfti'-ibt had been lis- I'Rtched to Camden iu a.i automo bile to head off the fugitive. He got him at Camd'31 station Just after D. H. Tlllett, to whom the sailor had tilo a hard lujt story, had bought jiim a ticket to Norfolk whether he be employer or employe, to act with reason and moderation as soon as he is fully informed as to both sides of the csae. The tremendous importance of this conference needs no emphasis. On it may easily de pend the destiny of the nation for' a generation to come for it affects vitally every depart ment of our industrial life. The principles it enunciates are more than apt to become the unwritten constitution of industry, and its decisions will be cited in every industrial debate that arises during the lives of most of us who are watching its sittings. . It is therefore the more en couraging to hear from Wash ington that neither side has gone into in the conference in axbelligerant spirit Of course i I L'VJ V "1 ,s s I fJVv W M Ml SPARTACAN LEADER REACHES VIENNA Dr. Max Levlen, spartacan leader for whose arrest the Bavarian gov ernment government has offered a large reward, arrived here Monday.
