APPROVAL OF SHORT SKIRTS.

Long Dresses Which Wipe Up the Side
walk Declared Menace to Health.
The state board of health, through
the secretary, DR. c. A. Lindsey, has
officially stamped with approval the
short skirt for women and has placed
under the ban the skirts which trail
In his monthly report issued yesterday
DR. Lindsey says:
THE authorities of Ell Paso in Texas
are a judicious and considerable body.
They object to the practice, SO much
in use by the gentler sex, of wiping
the sidewalks with their trailing
dresses and carrying the accumulated
microbes mud, spittle and other filth
into habitations and occupied places,
to be dried and shaken off in the air
and so render respiration therein dis
gushing and dangerous. They have
proceeded to the extent of the author
ity by prohibiting the admission of
teachers within the public schools ex-
cept in short skirts. Their example
ought to be initiated throughout the
United States

ATTENDANCE AT YALE.
2,474 STUDENTS HAVE ALRE1DY
REGISTER ON THE WAY.
Preliminary Catalogue Issued-Gain In
Sheffield Scientific School-ReSistra-
ton Nearly Same as Last Year.

Yesterday list of the students who
have registered at Yale university was
issued in a preliminary catalogue. 1t is
a novel departure for the registration
to be announced before the annual cat
alogue of the university is issued about
the middle of December. The list of
students registered at this time is, on
this account, much smaller than it will
be when the catalogue appears and so
a comparison Of the attendance at pres
ent with that in last years catalogue
is not quite a fair test of the universe
TVS numerical strength According to
the registration figures just published
from all the departments there are 2,474
students in the university, 49 fewer
than year ago The university Off
Gals are confident that this apparent
decrease will be more than made UP by
the late registrations before the cata-
logue is issued in December. In the
graduate department alone nearly
enough students will probably register
in two or three weeks to fully make up
the deficiency.
The greatest gain in any department
is in the Sheffield Scientific school
which contains 607 students against 81
a year ago. The figures in all the 9th
er departments are essentially the same
as last year In the academic the class
which was graduated last year was the
largest in Yale's history, while it's sue
cessor, the class of HOLLIS sixty students
has caused the drop in attend
ance in the entire department. The size
of the entering class this year is prac-
tically the same as that of last year.
The exact registration by departments

Fierce Game Expected at the Field
This Afternoon - Coaches in the
Game.
Yale football coaches got into the
game yesterday afternoon, playing in
the ranks of the second eleven to stiffen
up the varsity and to give the regulars
a trying out in defensive play. Heffel-
finger played left guard opposite Shell
don; Benjamin half back, and Nc
Bride full back The scrubs, reinforced
by these stalwart veterans of the grid
iron, pushed the varsity from the cen
ter of the field to the varsity 20-yard
line, where the ball went to the varsity
on a tumble.
The varsity scored twice during the
afternoon. Miller, who has succeeded
Sharpe at left half back for three or
four days, making the first touchdown
after ten minutes play on a fifteen yard
run through right tackle. Dupee who
has been brought from end to his old
position at full back, scooted through
the second eleven for the second touch
down on short tackle attack Twenty
minute halves were played despite the
fact that Yale lines up to-day against
Bowdoin. The play was the most ex-
acting Of any since the season began.
Fincke played quarterback the first and
Wear the second half. These two rivals
are so evenly balanced that there is
little to choose between them. Hydes
eye was hurt in the game with Dart
mouth and he will not play for several
days. He has reported at the Yale field
daily.
9ale's players will make hard
struggle to-day to better the score of
6 points by Harvard against Bowdoin
ten days ago. This will be the first
chance lovers of comparative scores will
have to place Yale results along side
with those of Harvard. The Yale eleven
will play as follows to-day: Left end.
Gould; left tackle, Hamlin; left guard.
Richardson and Brown; center. Olcntt
right guard, Sheldon; right tackle, still
man; right end Ward and Gov; omar
ter back, Fincke and Wear; left half
back, Miller; right half back, Cook and
Chadwick and full back, Hale and Du-
pee. Yale will send half a dozen sub
stitutes into the game the second half

LARGE VEIN OF BARYTES FOUND
IN CHESHIRE

A message to the Morning Record
from Cheshire Sunday afternoon reports
that Superintendent Trewhella's men
have struck an immense vein of barry
tes in the mine near Hotchkiss' farm.
The miners have experienced a set
back in their prospecting for awhile, as
water is encountered many feet deep,
and is pouring rapidly into the main
pit.
The machinery on the surface is not
sufficient to operate the pumps, and it
is necessary to order new and larger
boiler to run the engine. The wait for
the new boiler will cause delay of sew
eral days.
Superintendent Trewhella has notified
the mine owners of his find. A large
staff of miners will be hired when the
pumps can be used. The outlook for
raising tons Of barytes is very encour-
aging. Cheshire people are very much
interested in the industry and hope the
town will be benefited by the enterprise.

The richest young man in all Porto
Rico IS Senior Para of Ponce. He Is
under 80, slender and unusually tall for
a Porto Rican. Curiously enough, in
personal appearance, he resembles John
Jacob Aston not a little Senior Para,
with his father, who is still living, is in,
terested in many business enterprises iR
Ponce and elsewhere, the bulk of the faph-
lily investments, like those of the AS
tors, is in city real estate; in fact they
are understood to be the most extensive
lspdlords in Ponce. Naturally, the Para
family, which. includes several daughters,
is prominent in Ponce society, and the
Para residence, a large and handsome
structure, is familiar to many Americans
of the army and otherwise.
Like the sons of most wealthy Porto
Ricans, the younger Para was educated
largely in the United States, and has
spent much time in New York. Thus he
has acquired many American tastes, and
might readily pass for a citizen OF this
country, though he would doubtless be
thought of foreign descent. He speaks
English fiuently, with just the slightest
accent he is democratic in his friendships
and he is devoted to manly sports, espe-
cially racing and shooting. He is very

Senior Para and all his friends were very

ming in the movement, and were promi-
nent in the movement for the general
study of the English language which was
speedily inaugurated. The first class or
ganized for that purpose in Ponce was
