"FAVORITISM" DISCUSSED

John d. Merrill. editor OF the Harvard
Bulletin. has a communication in the
Harvard Crimson today on the football
situation, which he devotes the greater
part to the accusation OF "favoritism." II
Is as follows:
The football situation has been so
thoroughly discussed that want to
say a word or two bearing on your edi-
torial OF last Thursday, in which you ex-
pressed your willingness to publish such
communications as may be useful in Inn
proving conditions.
MY judgment Is that destructive crit
icism has gone far enough, and that II
anything more is 10 be offered by under
graduates II should be put forth not for
the sake OF finding fault with what has
been done but 10 point out the means
OF improvement.
There has been a lot OF talk about
favoritsm and society influence, and 1t
has spread abroad 10 such an extent that
the reputation Of the college has already
suffered and viii. fear. suffer still more.
Every Harvard man should do what he
can 10 stop such reports unless he be-
lieves they are true. The coaches this
fall made mistakes In judgment, but In
my ~ years Observation oi tidINdru dtH-
letics I have never seen a coach who
did not make a mistake
BAD Judgment may lose football
game and may be taken as evidence that
man Is not fitted 10 be head coach
OF an eleven. but II is not a crime.
"The point TO this communication. II
II has any, is this: II is not time for
controversy. The thing TO do now is 10
unite for the purpose OF doing better
next year and in the other years TO
come"

YACHT CLUB
TO BUILD
CLUB HOUSE

Last evening I'm the Office OF the COM
modore OF the club. DIR. Frederick 7.
Rogers. the directors and number of the
more prominent members of the Rhode
Island Yacht club met and decided TO
build a new club house on the land pur-
chased. near Potter's Cove.
At the meeting last evening the plans
for the coming season were discussed and
in the discussion OF these II came out
that the plan had been the talk of those
interested In the club and that financial
propositions had been made OF such a
nature as to insure the building OF the
same.
II is said that the reason for the build
ing OF the club was the fact that a num-
ber OF the yachtsmen OF the bay have In
the past been making the cove the rendez-
vous and that there was not sufficient or
commodious accommodations there for
the protection OF the members from in
truders. This latter class has made the
members of the club some trouble by
actions In the past and II is hoped that
this will TO a great extent obviate all
this:
Commodore Rogers stated: This new
bers alone. No one can enter except a
member or his guest II is also our in
tention to make II as enjoyable as pos
sible for the members who do not own
yachts. There will be dinner parties and
private bakes and accommodations for
ladies. We will hold several club bakes,
as heretofore and these will be only
for members and guests of the club. We
have had financial offers from influential
members. and these assure the erection
OF a club house TO cost about $1,000 In
addition to the dining room and assem-
bly, hall there will be ladies' rooms and
sleeping apartments.
1.-THE sleeping apartments will make II
possible for members TO use the club as a
rendezvous and, particularly In case OF
storms, a haven OF refuge where they can
find comfortable shore accommodations in
case they are caught off In the storm. IT
will also make II possible for members to
take their wives and ladies in their party
TO place where they will be assured OF
respect and proper attention, and where
they will be away from annoyance OF un-
pleasant persons.
"The plans include the erection of a
pier and possibly golf links and other at
fractions"
The projected building will be built on
up-to-date plans and will include an as
and sleeping accommodations. Enough
money to cover the expenses OF the pur-
chase Of the land has been already raised
by subscription, and the fund for the
building OF the club house Is already
practically assured.
The preliminary committee appointed Is
composed OF Commodore Frederick T.
Rogers. Secretary George f. Darling,
Scott Burlingame. c. G. Easton and How
ard L. Barlow.
AS to the plans for the coming season
Commodore Rogers said: 1T is proposed
to have a midwinter mess dinner, at
which time preliminary meeting will be
held and action taken to get a final deci-
sion at the annual meeting The mess din
ner will be a new feature. and is suggest
ed because OF pleasant dinners held by
the club at its annual cruise. More than
200 members and guests are expected TO
attend. Some attractive features not ordi-
narily found on menu cards will be In
troduced."

A wonderful Cannon.

The inventor of the new American
gun is a man named J. Hamilton
Brown, though the work of construct
ing this particular six inch expert
mental piece is in charge of Colonel
John M. Ingalls,, retired, U. S. A., an
artillerist Of high standing and reputa-
ton. Despite the incredulity of con-
temporary gun builders, Colonel In
gals and the officers with him assert
that this six inch gun will throw thirty
miles a projectile weighing 100 pounds
which will pierce six inch steel tar
get. A ten inch gun of this construc-
ton with a powder chamber of 14,259
cubic inches and using $50 pounds Of
smokeless powder would hurl 600
pound projectile a distance of fifty
nine miles. Increasing this ratio, a
sixteen inch gun would have an ex-
IRENE range of more than hundred
miles, and equipped with such coast
defense rifles England and France
could shell each other across the chan

The right shoulders of persistent
golfers coats have to be padded, for
golf develops the left shoulder so alb
normally that, without this padding,
the young men would look little de-
formed.
In driving the players right arm and
shoulder only guide the balls course.
It is the left arm and shoulder that do
the work; hence the excessive left side
development, to counterfeit which it is
sometimes necessary to put in the
right shoulder Of the coat padding an
inch deep.
Tailors can always tell a golfer by
this peculiar development Of his left
shoulder. Sometimes young women
play enough to get uneven shoulders
too. The deformity, though, is rare
among young women, whereas among
young men 1t is common.-Eouisville

Snake River Valley.

The largest irrigation enterprise in
America is located in the rich Snake
River valley of Idaho which has been
reclaimed through mans handiwork
alone. In this valley which is now
comfortably settled, there remains 270,
600 acres of land belonging to the state
of Idaho which is under the Twin Falls
irrigation canals and open to settle
ment. This land is among the rich
est in America as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200 to
400 bushels to the acre of large size
fine variety. Wheat yields from 40 to
10 bushels to the acre with an average
weight of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops OF alfalfa are raised each season
in the Snake River valley. The eli
mate is superb and of great value asa

London Residences.

London as place of residence seems
az If it would soon resemble the city,
once busy center of gayety and life,
now used only for business purposes
and as silent as the grave by night.
Year by year it becomes more difficult
to let town houses. The suburbs en-
croach on the city and stretch for wea-
ry monotonous miles, while Brighton,
Eastbourne, Windsor and other minor
towns find a mushroom population
growing up round them, people who In
old days would have lived in London.
And with all this rents do not go
down, and the ordinary householder
whose business forces him to remain
in London finds it even more difficult
to make both ends meet. - London

NERVE SPLICING.
One of the Great Achievements OF
Modern Surgery.


Nerve splicing, or restoring dead
nerves to life, is one of the latest
achievements of surgery. And, though
the process is still in its infancy, 1t is
believed in medical circles that the OPP
Grafton will one day become as COM
mon as trepanning. Three cases have
already resulted in perfect success.
The cure for paralysis and palsy is
brought about by means Of this proc
ess. In the case of young children pal
sy is brought about by some accident
of birth which congresses the nerves
which radiate from the spinal cord
and If in the upper part of the body
produces paralysis in the arms. The
technical name for this disease is
"blrth palsy
Paralysis in old people or those adj
vancing in years is sometimes due to
this accident, though it more usually
comes from the decay of the principal
nerve.

well as the most anxious mother could
wish. DR.. Clark, one of the operating
physicians, has recently explained be-
fore an audience of medical men ak
actly how the operation is performed.
The nerves which supply motion to the
affected limbs are severed from as
close to the spinal cord as possible
and then grated to the nearest trunk
line. If no complications arise in course
of time the delicate threads unite, and
the paralyzed parts take on fresh life.
Naturally the operation is exceedingly
difficult, because the nerves which ra-
date from the upper part of the spinal
cord are so great in number and cross
and recross each other in SO complex a
manner. Another difficulty lies in the
fact that anaesthetics must be used
sparingly, for the longer the patient is
under their influence the harder it is to
follow the nerve threads. Baltimore

all of these shops, the largest as well
