the head Of the company during the
thirty-six hours of marching and camp

The Young Mems Christian Associa-

yet most enthusiastic and thoroughly
soldierly companies in the District MI

their military duties than any other
members of the National Guard The
average guardsman does his work at
camp and in the armory in a half
hearted manner. but with the cadets it
is different They acquitted themselves
admirably at the recent camp, despite
the fact that it was their first outing.
The practice march which begins SatuF
day night is purely volunteer work.
All of the boys liked the camp, and
when they returned and were comDli
mented by Captain Skinner for their
good work. a request was made for con-

ACCIDENTS MAR THE
GRAND CIRCUIT RACES
Dan Patch PAGES a Half Mile in
Record-Breakine Time

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The third day
Of the Grand Circuit races drew 10000
people TO the pretty Empire City track
and an admirable days sport was en-
joyed by the trotting and pacing fra
ternity. There were five events on the
program-two for trotters and three for
PAGERS, including Dan Patch's flight
against the worlds pacing record.
The first race was the 2:13 pace for
81 .OOO Eight -wheelers were sent
away well punched and stepped round
to the quarter and into the backstretch
In fine form Don Cozine swerved over
in front of Mace, who in turn carried
Bessie c. over into the fence, and all
three horses, sulkies and drivers We're
piled up in bunch that was marvel
to behold The other five escaped the
wreck, while Mace and Bessie c. follow
ed with their wrecked sulkies, and ran
several times around the track, Don
Cozine happened to land with his head
the other way, and, by way of variety,
encircled the track two or three times
In the opposite direction, causing one
OF the most exciting mishaps that turf
men have ever witnessed.
The second event was the $1,000 En-
pire Stakes for 2:20 trotters, and four
teen horses faced the starter. OF these
Jay McGregor was the favorite with the
spectators, but the talent had not con-
sidered Kinney Lou, the California stall
lion, and his famous driver. Budd
Doble. The announcement that Mr.
Doble had won the race. and state
ment that he had driven Dexter to his
record in 1867. brought forth an ovation
for the veteran reinsman that lasted
until he modestIy escaped to the stables.
Dan Patch was sent OFF against a
strong breeze. He stepped to the quar-
ter in 301l seconds, and to the half In
the record breaking time OF 5SA sec
onds. to the three-quarter pole in !
minute and 2S16 seconds. but thus far
twas a killing pace. and the mile was
finished against the wind in , minutes

James S. Howden, 1915 North Thirty
first Street; died at his home, o which
he went after having his injuries dressed
at the Samaritan Hospital.
The death Of little Samuel Kelly had
been expected Both his wrists were
fractured and he suffered with concus-
sion of the brain. He never rallied from
the shock.
II was against the earnest protest OF
the hospital physicians that Howden re-
turned home. The doctors told him he
was by no means out OF danger, but he

Sunday in order to give the boys an
other chance at camping away from

cover in about one and three-quarter
hours
According 20 the present plans the
men viii arrive at the camping grounds
about &c o'clock and Immediately pitch
their tents At Camp Ordway the asso-
citation lads put UP a most remarkable
drill Of pitching their dog tents IN a

pow, military attache OF the Russian
embassy, was much pleased with their

The boys have turned in their regula-
tion blue shirts. but have everything

TREES TWISTED BY WIND.
Singular Effects Noted in Course Of
Systematic Study.

Systematic Study.
Everyone has at some time or other
observed the pronounced effect which
wind has on trees growing in some quar-
tiers. This is particularly noticeable
along the shore. where tree growths viii
be seen twisted and leaning to a remark
able degree. This matter has been re-
Gently given some systematic study by
Prof J. Fruh, who has observed this
wind action in all parts of the world.
The manner in which it shows itself by
the appearance OF certain characteristic
forms Prof. Fruh has classified as fol-
lows;
cd Trunk, vertical, but without
branches on tho side facing the wind
"(2) Top Of trunk inclined in the di-
rection OF the dominant wind. Branch
asymmetric; more developed where shell
tered from the wind
"(3D Whole tree inclined. When grow
ing in masses. these trees or shrubs are
almost lying on one another Their d.
mansions decrease as we go toward the
side of the forest that is first struck by
the VIM
"(4) Trunk and branches may be in
cllned In different directions IN this
case the inclination of the trunk may
have been due to strong but temporary
winds. while that OF the foliage keeps
the direction OF the dominant wind.
These deformations are especially
frequent in countries near the sea or
in fat regions. In equatorial regions
whore violent cyclones often rage. the
influence Of the dominant winds cannot
always be noted. FOR their effects are Of
ten hidden By that OF the tornadoes."
Among the trees that are most sensi-
tive to the action Of the wind the follow
ing are noted by the author: The cherry,
the plum. the walnut. the black poplar.
the service tree. the ash. and certain va
rieties OF pine Other pines. especially
the mountain varieties. and also certain
frs, are very resistant to wind and are
therefore recommended by the author
for the reforestation OF regions exposed
to gales.-DetrOit Free Press.
