To Man. Second Game Lost
in Poor Years.

TKornwell’s last year state champ-
were practically helpless before
the heavy line and big backs of Sa>
and were outweighed nineteen
to the man, lost her second
in four years. Her team is, of
lighter and inferior to her
chaaapionship team of last year.
Eight letter men are missing and
inexperienced men have filled
their places. These played fine ball
■gainst the heavy odds. Saluda,
with weight in their favor, employed
straight football. Receiving the first
kick-off, they marched down to
ThornwelPs five yard line on line 1
plays, and a fumble netted Saluda a
touchdown. Thornwell puiued, and
^gmiw on successive tackSe plays,
Saluda came down the field for
another touchdown. When Thornwell
received the kick-off they lost ths
ball 1 on downs. Saluda again, using
straight line plays, plowed her way
to another touchdown.
Tfeornwell’s only touchdown came
here. Receiving the ball, E. Dunlap

the entire Saluda team with him.
Tuning his throw well, he held the
h»U until nearly every dangerous
passed the ball on a long, lateral,
backward pass to Trammell on the
five yard line. Stevens, Dunlap' and
Moody cut down the three dangerous
men and Trammell ran the 95 yards
for the touchdown. E. Dunlap kick

well for downs and bucked tho line
for a third touchdown. Thornwell

pleted several consecutively, and the
whistle probably robbed her of a sec-
touchdown. Salnda tried only one

President Coolidge retailed Secre
tary Wilbur, of the navy, to Wash
ington to discuss with him “the rela
tive value of battleships and flying
machines in wat.”
* This means, of course, that the
President will LISTEN to others, and
TAKE COUNSEL with himself, ft
means that, with all his work, he has
found time for th eserious problems
of air defense, and does not intend)
to keep this country among the back

ration. \
Facts alone will influence the Pre
sident, and they are not lacking. For
instance:
One battleship of dreadnaught dM»
man had been drawn over to him, then cost8 f or ty.five millioiv dollars. For
Thomwell’s old men, Captain
Trammell, Hollomon, Barnwell and
£. Dunlap, played their usual game.
The new men played well. The inter

The French have come through a
real war, wiCh invasion to the very
gates of Paris, millions killed, other
millions wounded. THEY know some
thing about fighting. What has
France done to prepare againgst dan
ger across her border?
France has a first line of air de
fense, consisting of two thousand
fighting air machines, with a reserve
ot two thousand more.
And that fighting French air fleet
is what makes England, with all her
lumbering battleships, cruisers, etc.,
“the world’s greatest battle fleet," so
pitifully polite to France. She will
continue to be polite until she can
dominate in the aif, as she used to
dominate the sea.
The two thousand first line fight
ing planes that spell security for
France, cost, in Europe, less than half
the cost of one first-class dread-
naught here. No wonder France in
sists that Germany shall build no
fightij^g.planes.
We continue spending millions on
big guns and ammunition for prac
tice. They also will soon be classed
among museum curiosities, used to
make a loud noise in the presidential
salute, or tickle the'vanity of some
Admiral returning to his ship.
A sixteen-inch gun costs as much
as two fighting airships. It lasts
only long enough to fire one hundred
and twenty shots. Then it is burnt-
out scrap iron. The life of a fight
ing plane, costing half as much as a
single big gun, is equal to that of an
ordinary forty-five million dread-
naught.

Battleships, besides being obsolete,
are frightfully expensive, soon out of
date, worthless in peace. Flying
machines, enough of them to make
this nation safe against attack by sea
or land, could be built without bur
densome taxation, kept up with slight
expense, and they would pay their
way in peace, twice ovxe, in the mail
service, and in spying out forest
fires.

In s dean home grows Into s better
or woman than If reared la a
dirty one, and s town that is kept
dean develops better dtlxens than
one inhere filth Is allowed to accum
ulate. Thus, by being partially dean,
s town may get the moral effect, but
to get the health-saving effect It
must be sanitarily dean. Individual
cleanliness will not do. For Instance,
In a town of 2,000 Inhabitants, sup
pose 1,990 keep their houses, yards
irrd premises, streets and alleys, so
dean that files have no chance to
breed in them, but the other has a
horse and stable and la slovenly. He
keeps an exposed manure pfffe, and
It Is evident will breed countless
swarms of files to nullify as far as
possible the results of his neighbor’s
cleanliness. It la certain that the
files bred In that manure heap will
scatter over the town to be a vexation
and torture to those who are clean.
- Hence, In sanitation the whole race
must live or fall together. Each In
ways unknown Is protecting or en-
dangeripg himself and others, form
ing the characters and making tne
history of unnumbered lives, and can
not live for self alone There Is no
room for pedantic exclusiveness, but

cleanliness will exterminate the files,
but It must be social cleanliness. We
are a part of this. Imd whether we
realize It or not, we are living for ths ,
