Why not eliminate their causes instead of attempting to deal with their effects?" was the statement upon which Mrs. Margaret Sanger based her address at the luncheon at the Liberal Club yesterday...

Scott is also a first-class defensive back, in-fact almost the equal of Allen. If the speedy Tiger backs rip through the Yale line as they did through Harvard's he will be an invaluable asset to the Elis...
