Researchers and statisticians are
digging into everything imaginable
nowadays, figuring out the possibili-
ties and probabilities of this and that.
Dr. A. J. Lotka, a specialist in life
insurance statistics, has been studying
the prevalence of boy babies, and !
these are some of his conclusions:
When a boy baby is born he has two
chances out of three to grow up and
become a father. He has even chances
to become the father of a son, but only
one chance in four to become the fath-
er of two sons. A few grow- up to
players, but quick thinking is vitally
necessary.
Two distinctive types of football
have been developed: Rugby, which
.permits running with the ball, and
Association or Soccer, which prohibits
it.
The name American Rugby, sounds
strange to football players in the
United States, but it is the correct
name for the game. The early Yirgin-
i, ian colonists brought the old English
game to America, and soon after 1830
students at several of the Eastern
colleges began to play it. Ten years
later at Amherst, Harvard, Brown,
Trinity and Yale the game became so
rough that in 1S60 the faculties of
Harvard and Yale prohibited football.

TULIPS ROMANS PLANTED
THRIVE ON ENGLISH SOIL
In many parts of England are the
remains of Roman camps built by sol-
diers of nearly 2,000 years ago. All
have fallen into ruins and most are
now boried under several feet of soil.
Beit it is possible that flowers which
the Roman soldiers planted still live
and bloom year after year. Near the
sites of many of the camps in the
south of England tiny red tulips make
their appearance each spring. . They
are quite different from any other tu-
lips seen in that country and are
found nowhere but in the neighbor-
hood of Roman camps Still more cu-
rious, the bulbs from which the flow-
ers spring are found at depths of five
feet and more under ground. The
most simple explanation of this pecu-
liarity is that they were planted near
the surface in the ordinary way by the
Romans, and with the passage of years
they have become more and more deep-
ly buried, like the ruins of the camps
themselves.
