Out After Revenge TECH & GET By QUIN HALL. ONE of the first of the inter sectional struggles which comes under the heading of being important occurs this Satur day when Knute Rockne leads hi? * Irishmen to Atlanta, Georgia, to play Georgia Tech. These intersectional clashes are : becoming as popular as the fellow who evaded the custom officers on . the Canadian border and came ' through with a whole carful. It’s getting so that some of the teams play little else but intersectional games, but it creates added inter est in the gridiron pastime and makes tickets even more difficult to obtain—if that situation can be made worse. Anyway, this classic between the Irish and the Golden Tornado j is always looked forward to and ! this year, as usual, it will give the , fans an early line on the strength ' of the two squads. Rockne has j already been quoted as saying that j he doesn’t anticipate that the Irish ! will knock down the opposition as easily as they have been aceus : tomed to doing, but then Rockne seldom brags. And for that : matter what coach does? Georgia Tech, under the cap i taincy of Peter Pund, will make a valiant attempt to prove to Mr. Rockne that he wasn’t far wrong in his predicting, come Saturday. Tech, it will be recalled, suffered its only defeat '*>* last season at the •bonds' of the. irssb and it’s x:o «. r.-«* jt. Atiaast— aver it parts: ®{ A♦‘r»-*vay.'fre'* the cam pas - *fc.rt tt** Golden Tivnado will be I ovA tot •****£+ in » big w*/» ft w proper g**rvr».!:y so needed that Tech •til have the [ beer ttk. ji <*. s*e ivfjtb»n: inter I t sno when lit 5* retired ttret this particular I Conference :• -e*><-c op of twenty two colleges, sttec a .•c.'e.o. on is no small honor. She had an un usually strong team in 19?7. xmi. despite the lops of Captain C.e'v ley and Hood, who made h same for himself as a tackle, it wovlt seem that the experts have good ground for their prediction. Last year's team was made up largely of sophomore materia!, and most of them are back in the mole skins this season. Fund, this year’s captain, made quite a repu tation for himself as a centre last year and reports say that Tech will have an exceptionally strong line. In the back field C **.*<•>. ander will have at iea-n sw h*rd driving hacks who w-'l ;•* ee*. to the circuit. These fellows Inin' kin and Dunlap, were v :ts.P»r;din : performers on the 19?" freshman team and they both possess speed and power. Coach Alexander has Fincher, an especially good dim- coach, and Miller,, a graduate from the rot -d GijpyrishC 10-S. Kins Feature* Syndicate, toe. Four Horsemen, to aid him in his work at Georgia Tech. This should assure the Atlanta school of a sound syUem of play. While Gcogia Tech has a long schedule ahead of her and while Saturday’s struggle with the Irish i from South Bend will not count in the final standings of the teams in the Southern Intercollegiate Conference, the game, nevertbe- j less, is one of the most important on the schedule of the Golden Tor nado. A victory over the Rockne coached team will give Georgia Tech an added reputation not only in the South, but .all over the country as well. I.ast year Georgia Tech with : seven victories and one tie game had but one touchdown scored against it in the games played against other Conference teams. The Tech defense was one of the outstanding features of play in , the South and while four teams— Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Vander bilt and North Carolina—finished their Conference games unde feated, Georgia Tech led the whole group :n Conference victor ies--se?en—while Tennosee and North Carolina were credited with five each arid North Carolina won but four against Conference rivals. The Golden Tornado always plays a hard game and under Fund great thing- are expected from the Atlanta school. High Death Rate In Childbirth Laid To Medical School Neglect Chicago.—Attention of the Public Health association was called today to the high death rate in the United States of mothers in childbirth. More American women die in child birth than do the women of any oth er nation. Dr. Josephine Baker of Stamford. Conn., took a gloomy view of the situation and tr.rd to fix the re sponsibility. “This condition has resulted from the fact that obstetrics is no longer a major course in many of our medi cal schools,’’ she said. Early athletic training does not seem to help mothers much, nor do hospitals. Dr. Charles V. Craster, director of health for Newark N. J., said it had been the hopes of health officers that the increasing use of hospitals by expectant mothers would aid materially in reducing the maternal mortality rate, but that since hospitalization had been sub stantially increased, the death rate had climbed. Some of the trouble, he said, was caused by lack of proper prenatal attention, but much of it by unskill ed operation of hospitals and prac tice of attendants. Dr. r.«uis I. Harris, former- health commissioner in New York city, said: “We are too intelligent a na tion to let such a deplorable con dition continue. I think the quick est way to get at it. is through state regulations.” The statistics are not uniform, but show Indian women have little or Up death rate in maternity. Italian, Slav and Irish women in country district* have the lowest rate. i < BEAVER DAM DOTS OF CURREHT WEEK Pageant To P»p Given Sundav \ight At The Church—Personals Happenings. --— (Special to The Star.)

(adv.) i w iiUO Board Of Trustees Appeal To Peo ple To Donate Either Money Or Food Supplies. Fotest City Courier. The Alexander School for Moth erless children, founded by Hon J F. Alexander and endowed, as !. thought, with an income of $10,000 per year ni the form Of a lease on some Florida property, is now in need. The present acute situation, with the school was brought about as fol lows: 1 When the financial crash came in Florida the lease was thrown up and hence, the school realizes nothing from the endow ment because the property is stand ing vacant. 2 The Home Mission Board was paying the salary of Prof. W E Sweatt the superintendent of the school but since the defalcation of the treasurer of heme board, steal ing $1,000,000.00. the board is un able to continue to pay the salary. Under these circumstances the trus tees of the school appeal to the good people of this section and to North Carolina to help them take care of The 108 orphan children now gath ered in the school. The management under Prof Sweatt,: is efficient and economic to the last degree. If we can raise a equal of fifteen dollars per child, the school can go on with its work. In other words, a donation of fifteen dollars will keep a child in the home for a year. We do not know any other home where such a small amount will accomplish such large results. Donations In Kind. Perhaps there are people who have not the money but could do nate supplies. Three additional cows are needed. We have five but need eight. Feed stuff, potatoes, cabbages, peas, beans, apples, meat. flour, chickens, eggs. Anything which can be used in the family. We can't close the school or home. There is a crying need for it. We have had 2.000 applications for ad mission to the home. They continue to pour in at the rate of five or six per day. We believe the good peo ple of the state will help us to take care of the 108 children we now have in the home. Send all donations to Prof. W. E. Sweatt, Union Mills. N. C.

SUICIDE AND ACCIDENTAL SHOTS CLAIM HEAVY TOLL Raleigh, Oct, 18—Suicides and accidental deaths from gunshot wounds ran a tie race in North Carolina last month with twelve each, a report issued by the state board of health today shows. A total of one hundred and forty two persons suffered violent deaths during September. Automobiles headed the list with 53, Second came homicides with 17. Crownings were tied for third with railroad accidents, both being 14. Eleven persons were burned to death. Gunshot wounds of a doubt ful nature claimed eight lives while only one person was killed in a grade crossing accident. No Trace Of Flyer. Late messages last night stated that there was litle hope for Lieut. Com. H. C. MacDonald, young Brit ish aviator, who hopped off from England Wednesday in a tiny Moth plane to fly across the Atlantic. The only news heard of him since his hop-off was that a Dutch steamer 70 Omiles east of St. Jons sigted an airplane about 7:30 last night. The wife of the young Eng lish war hero was still hopeful when given the report. MacDonald's little plane had no wireless and he was little more than an apprentice flyer himself. His daring attempt has thrilled all England, dispatches from London state. One of the largest colleges is send ing its football team 10,000 miles this year.
