The Tangible Value Of Football
A Texas football team is on its

r cause it is pre-eminent among Eastern

western football teams. This is the
first time that the Southwest, and
particularly. Texas, which in a large
sense is tb? Southwest, has been so
honored.
Superficially, this is a trivial mat-
ter. It has nothing to do with the
prosperity of our people, with our
social well-being, nor with their mor-
als nor their integrity. J
But it is significant, nevertheless, of

Frederick Jagel Has American
Opera Slant
The opening of the new season at
the Metropolitafi Opera House in New
York has once again brought that
company’s leading singers into public
ken. There is a difference in the ap-
proach of European artists to their
opera work from that of American
favorites, for the local products find
•it necessary to pay mpre attention
than their overseas brothers and sis-
ters to such matters as slimness and
general good appearance.
One of the hardest workers in the
old Metropolitan is Frederick Jagel,
who, despite his Germanic najne,
to the altar before she orders the dinner or
even gets the dishes done. Making a habit of
such things Lis demoralizing; succumbing to
such a temptation at intervals is human.
Personally, I am afraid I could never be very
severe with the child who was lured upstream
in the dappling sunlight.* instead of following
his prescribed course through the school room
door. With so many distractions disguised as
dragons to slay each day enroute to school I
can well see how the child gets diverted from
his course.
Having a profound admiration for the
sterling character who cannot be swerved from
hs duty does not prevent me from an under-
standing of the one whose interests may be
captured by the unforeseen and unexpected.
Presumably, such tendencies must be curb-
ed. Adults find, however, that the punishment
fits the crime. The adult escapes the whip-
ping, but is punished in ways that are just
as disturbing and. in fact, are inclined to be
more serious.
Question of Adopting Child
“Dear Mrs. Martin; I am a woman of forty
and childless. Lately my husband and I have
been talking of adopting a child. Do you think
it would be a foolish thing to do at, our age?
—Mother Complex.”
I see no reason why you should not under-
take such a responsibility since you seem to
have the urge. I should not, however, think
you would want to assume the responsibil-
ity of an I infant, but would prefer to adopt
one who is nearer the companionable age.
While forty is no great age, you should bear
in mind the important fact that an infant
adopted by you now would run the risk of
being orphaned about the time your guardian-
ship is most precious to you both.!
