President Roosevelt's attempt to

played with less risk to the lives and

but a revival of the caustic COM

of those who cared more for their

than for the final score.
As early as 1914 football had be-
come SO popular In London as street
game and attracted so many disord-
eriy spectators that the staid old mer-
chants entered a vigorous protest.
King Edward II WIS on the throne

football coaches or arguing about
the matter. He issued a proclama-

large balls from which many evils
might arise, which God forbid. we

Matters went from bad to worse
until the public and authorities be-
came weary of reading the annual
list OF dead and injured, and about
1890 the great Shrove Tuesday
matches died out. The game was
per1,etuated in the colleges, but even
there 1t was no sport for weaklings
as is proved by the fact that as late
as 1876 "hacking," or kicking an op-
posing player on the shins, was al
lowed as one of the finer points. The
Football Association formed in 1873
was the result of the interest in ath-
letics aroused by the volunteer move
ment in England in 1850 and the
Rugby Union was formed in 1871.
The present rules in the United States
were evolved from those of the Rug

ly been exploited as possible sub
stitute for the American game.

PERFUMES FOR THE NOBILITY.
Ambassador Mhitelaw Reid Engages
Services of Earl's Son.

At one time Lady Curzon had the
reputation of spending more money
on perfumes than any other woman
in England. 1t was said that she was
more e1travagant in this respect than
Queen Alexandra whose perfume bills
amounted to something like 5000 a
year. Now, the story goes. the Ouch
ess of Roxburgh has become the
most extravagant purchaser of per-
fumery in the land. She patroniZes
the heavy-scented essences of the
East which are known to be most ex-
pensive. The cost of her daily bath
would, 1t is said, keep a middle-class
family for a week Lady Curzon
used these same essences at one time,
but she found them 30 expensive that
she decided to try cheaper extracts.
Queen Alexandra, too. has gone in
for retrenchment in the same direc-
ton, and she Is now satisfied with
the favorite scent of the late Queen
Victoria. which was a species of law
ender water specially prepared for
her by a chemist at Windsor. The
Princess Of Wales is also extravagant
in the use of scents and uses a spe-
cfal preparation made from vfolets
and other carefully cultivated flowers
1t is strange that Lady Suffolk. for
merly Miss Letter of Washington, dis
likes scents, considering her sisters
passion for them.
Even royalty finds 1t necessary to
yield obedience to the doctors orders.
The fiat has gone forth that Queen
Alexandra must eat no more sweet
things. In consequence. a well-known
firm of London pastry cooks, who
have for many years supplied her
majesty with confectionery and other
tempting delicacies. have had their
order cancelled. For their loss of

much given to playing football on

Chestnuts are a very similar food TO
potatoes. The chestnut, however, is
the more nutritious of the two. The
chestnut has only 33 per cent. water
while the potato has 76 per cent. of wa
ter. In all of the nutritive ingredients
the chestnut leads the potato. The
chestnut may be cooked exactly as the
potato is, boiled, baked or roasted.
The culture of the chestnut tree in
this country has as yet been neglected,
and furnishes an inviting field for en-
terprising agriculture and forestry.

RIVAL NAVAL BUILDERS.
GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTORS
BEAT PRIRATE CONCERN
IN SHLPBUILDING,
The Connecticut Ahead of Sister Ship
Louisiana-Cost However Greater
First War Ship Ever Built by the
Government.

There is great rivalry between the
United States Navy Yard at Brooklyn
and a private shipbuilding concern at
Newport News, over the construction
of the two naval war ieviathans, Con-
necticut and Louisiana. The Govern
ment is building the Connecticut, and
the shipbuilding company is rushing
toward completion the Louisiana.
The figures given out but a short time
ago by the Navy Department show
that the Connecticut Is 9L36 per cent
completed, while her sister SHIP shows
a percentage of completion of 1926.
A comparison shows then that the
Government-built boat has slight
lead, which is all the more gratifying
to the champions Of Government con-
truction when it is considered that
this is the first battleship ever built
in the United States by any other
than private constructors and that It
was predicted that the Government
could not compete with private build
ers. Nevertheless the Government
ship win cost the more.

Most Formidable OF War S hips.

These battleships when completed
will be among the most formidable
war vessels of the world; the main
battery on each will consist of four
Pinch, eight S-inch and twelve z
inch rifles; the secondary battery will
have twenty 3-inch rapid fire guns,
twelve 3-poundcrs, eight 1-pounders
and a number of rapid fire guns of
smaller calibre. There will also be
four submerged torpedo tubes The
ships will have ample protection by
heavy armor ranging in thickness
from nine to eleven inches. The con-
tract calls for vessels of 10000 tons
displacement. with steaming capaci-
ty, at 10 knots per hour. of 5000 miles
without recoaling. They are expect
ed. however, to make 1S knots per
hour at the official trial. Each ship
will be manned by S55 officers and
men. The contract price of the Lou

icut is expected to cost $4,212,OOO.

!, 1902, authority was granted for the
construction of two battleships after
ward named the Connecticut and
Louisiana, each 45O feet long, &c 1-S
feet wide, with a draft of "A feet 6
inches. A short time after this action
of Congress, the Navy Department de-
cided to have one of the battleships
constructed by private parties, the
Government endeavoring to build the
other.
Government Got Bad Start Too.
The contract for the Louisiana was
let TO the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company who laid the
keel for that vessel on February Z,
1903, while the Government was de-
layed in the construction of its vessel
SO much that the keel was not laid
down untfi March 10 of the same
year. The Government was further
delayed in building the Connecticut
owing to non arrival Of necessary ma
chinery and armor plate, yet with all
of these drawbacks the latest figures
published by the Navy Department
show the Governmcnt-built boat
farther advanced -oward completion
than that being erected by a private
concern. The Louisiana was the first
to receive its christening, having been
launched August 27, 1904; the Con-
necticut did not take to the waves
until September % of the same year.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the
Connecticut is being built Is now en-
ploying over 1000 men on the battle
ship and it is stated that there is
still room for 200 more workmen.
With the rapid progress now being
made on the vessels 1t is estimated
that they will be ready to go into
commission by June of next year.
