Custom OF Vociferous "Rooting' at
Games Is Believed to Be
Dying Out.

Although Harvard came in for much
singing ridicule when it protested
against Princeton's vociferous root
ing" that protest has nevertheless
been needed, says the Kansas indie
pendent. The college yell is about
done for in American athletics; at least
it will never again be the feature of
every game that it was. A good thing
at the outset, as source of inspira-
ton and cheer, it came to be an unmiti-
gated nuisance, both to players and
spectators.
England played large part in bring
ing about this reform. The British are
notably quiet at games, a well
played" or ''Well done!" being the limit
of their enthusiasm. When Yale and
Harvard competed abroad last year.
their college yells fell quite fat, ana
lately when the American colleges woA
over Cambridge and Oxford, the yell
was nottceably absent.
Speaking of the British lack of maniac
al shrieks when witnessing any attn
letic sport, Tommy Ryan, middle-weight
champion of the world, have tale to
tell when ne returned to Kansas City
after fighting Johnny German, Of LIN
don.
1--WE fought at the National Sporting
club" said Tommy Everybody wore
evening clothes, and every mans right
eye had monocle in it. We began to
fight, and, used to American crowds as
I was, the comparative silence was
hard on me. l thought they weren't
pleased with my showing, and let out
every link, but never a cheer. When
I knocked German down the first time
they simply said: My word!' All of
them said it together regular chorus

sentatives to decide who was to have
the honor of filling the presidential
chair, and who was to take the un-
popular trip up Salt river.
Some have been so badly defeated
that this was the sole claim to dis
tinction which could be made. Others
have gone down to defeat, and later
had the qualification of victory. In
several instances the defeated candi-

Some candidates have gone down to
defeat carrying with them the popular
vote and Endorsement of the country,
and some men have followed the presi-
Dental races for years only to score
repeated defeats. 1t has taken some
thing like 100 defeated candidates dur

up this record.

the reader never tires. It is perhaps
true to say that no other action has
caught the public imagination in the

six hundred" No doubt Tennyson's
poem has had much to do with this.
The charge was practically blunder,
and the result was disaster, but nothing
will ever rob it of it's wonderful and
romantic glory. Perhaps the best story
of the charge is that given by staff
officer, whose Letters from Headquar-

In view of the recent attempts made
in New Jersey to destroy the mosqui-
toes by the use of petroleum on the
standing water of the lowlands, and
also on account of the experiments
made by experts in Cuba to show
that mosquitoes carried malarial and
fever germs, the report of Major Pen
ION, principal medical officer of the
Soudan, is of especial interest. Only
a short time ago mosquitoes were so
thick in his locality that the use of
nets to ward off the pests was a neces-
sity, but now these can be dispensed
with almost entirely. Several marshy
swamps surrounding the town have
been filed up by gangs of workmen,
thus leaving no breeding place for the
insects. With their disappearance
there has also been a marked de-
crease in malarial fever. all the medi-
cal officers of the district agreeing
that this has been the h%ealthiest year
on record, and it is probable that
when the work has been completed
malaria will have disappeared from
the region altogether.

Physical health, mental health, in

Without health nothing is worth

A California trained nurse proved
this: Three years ago l was taken
very sick, my work as a trained nurse
having worn me out both in body and

me at all. After seeing a number of
physicians and specialists and getting
no relief l was very much discouraged
and felt that l would die of general
ervous and physical collapse.

them from corrosion has been sue
cessfully accomplished by an English
shipbuilding firm. The s~heathing is
closely imbedded to the surface be-
meath, with specially constructed
joints at the leading and following
edges of the blades. While the ex-
pertinent was made simply to over
come corrosion it has been found by
actual tests that the steamers of the
Clan Line which have had their pro-
pellers thus sheathed have shown con-
.siderably better speeds with less coal
consumption than sister vessels fitted
with cast iron propellers. This is
probably due to the decreased friction
of the water under the action of the
revolving blades.
