You Work Best Facing the West

To test the truth of the assertions OF
many persons that they sleep better
with their heads pointing to the north.
work better facing the east, and so on,
Dr. Charles Fere, who is. we'll known
in France for his studies in physiolo-
gical psychology, has constructed
delicate machine which he calls an
ergograph, with which he has achieved
some interesting results. This ma
chine registers the number, rapidity
and quality of the movements of the
index finger when writing or perform
ing any accustomed work. He an
nounces that his experiments with 1t
prove that work done by a person
facing the west or east is better by
twenty-five per cent than similar work
done by a person facing the north or
south, and that when working facing
the west it is about twenty-five per
cent better than when facing the east.
This matter of orientation seems to
have an influence upon the nervous
system due largely, It is believed, to
the fact that the earth is a gigantic
magnet. Many learned men have
noticed that they sleep best with the
head to the north, and work better
facing the west, while at least one
famous pianist finds he plays with the
greatest ease when the piano faces the
east. 1t may be that the great migra-
tions of the human race, all Of which
have been from east to west, and the
observed tendency of trees to develop
in the same general direction are in
some way related to these phenomena.

for three years. A small duplicate Of
the championship cup, however, will
be awarded to the winner of the tour
nament. And at the same time there
will be "a ladies' open amateur cham
pionship of Coronado Beach, to be
played on the 9th, 10th and 11th of

18th, 18th and 18th Of March.
| All playing is to begin at 9 o'clock
in the morning and at 2:S0 in the after

Many Entries
Many entries from the leading play
ers at present in the state are being
received, and 1t is expected that Coro-
nado will have a brilliant assembly of
golfers at its first great tournament.
The trophies and cups for the Coro-
nado Beach championship are being
made by a San Francisco firm. The
trophies for men and women are alike.
The design is a large silver fourteenth
century pitcher or jug, about twenty
two inches high. They are exceedingly
graceful and at the same time hand
some examples of the silversmith's art.
Coronado Beach has introduced a
novel and attractive feature in the in
dividual cups that become the prop
erty of the winners of each tourna-
ment. They are replicas of the two
trophies, save in size. This feature is
attracting a great deal of attention.
They are probably among the best
prizes offered for golf in California.
The cups for the handicap for the
members of the Coronado Golf club are
quite handsome and will be exhibited
along with other cups and trophies.

AT GREAT BRITAIN's DOOR.

St Petersburg, June 2S.-At Great Britain's door the Novoe Vremya lays much of the responsibility for the Franco German crisis. saying she Is pursuing her traditional policy of en- couraging q conflict between her com- petitors in order to profit thereby.
 Great Britain" the paper adds. ''pushed France into the Morocco ad- venture, sustaining NJ. Delcasse, the former foreign minister, in his resist ance to Germany's claims. For de- cades Great Britain's hostility has been directed against Russia, at last sue ceeding in having another country ac complish a task from which she her self shrank. With Russia no longer dangerous for the present, all Great Britain's machinations were set in mo- tion against Germany. now her chief competitor in Europe"
 The Novoe Vremya thinks it quite conceivable that in case of a conflict Great Britain would aid France to the extent of destroying the German fleet and that then with both France and Germany weakened her supremacy would be assured for another half cen tury. The Novoe vremya. however. believes that with Premier Rouvier in charge of the negotiations with France Great Britain's plans will be defeated and the Moroccan affair will be satis- factorily adjusted.

BOYCOTT
 IS REAL.
Former Consul Gen.

E. C. Bellows Home From the East Says That China Will Not Buy Goods Manu. factured in This Country.

San Francisco, June 2S.-Edward G, Bellows, until recently consul general for the United States in Japan, mas ar. rived in San Francisco aboard the pacific mail steamship Manchuria,
 MT Bellows brings renewed contirma- tion of the boycott which the mer. chants of China have declared upon the United States manufacturers and upon goods and mercnandlse coming from this country. He says they have carried the boycott to such an, extent that in many instances importers are having great difficulty in obtaining as- sistance in the unloading of American products.
 There can be no doubt that there is determined effort afoot in China whereby it is hoped to bring pressure to bear upon the United States through the medium of a boycott" said Mir Bellows. ''The object, as has been already exploited, is to force this country to grant more liberal treat ment to merchants and other Chinese who travel in the United States
 All over China the guilds, which are similar to our boards of trade, are using their utmost influence to bring about the desired effect. -..any are hardening to their teachings In the several ports the hands who are ac- customed to unload the imported goods have been taught to leave untouched the merchandise brought from our country. This condition of affairs is likely to grow.
 "Of course I am not saying how ef- fectual this mode of procedure may prove. In fact, I think that there is no great cause for alarm. Still, we must remember that in Germany and other nations we have worthy competi- tors in the Chinese trade and what we lose is bound to be their gain, to cer- tain extent at least"
 Henry B. Miller, consul at Newch- wang, succeeded Mir Bellows.

ON THE HUDSON.
Six Sturdy Crews Competing in the Annual lntercol.
 legiate Regatta.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 2S.-Bril- liant summer weather with a promise of favorable water conditions in the late afternoon mark the day of the an- nual intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson. With six of the most stal- Wart crews ever prepared for the his toric rowing event ready for the ef- fort of their lives, the most intensely interesting finishes in the history of the intercollegiate association are looked for. The first event of the af- ternoon is scheduled for 3 o'clock, when the four cared crews of Syra- cuse, Cornell, Columbia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will be sent away over the twO-mile course, the start being placed just one mile above the bridge At 3:45 the freshmen eights of Penn sylvania. Syracuse, Columbia and Cor nell will race over the two-mile dis tance, and at o'clock the varsity elghts will be sent speeding away over the full distance of four miles. In this race crews are entered from Colum- bia, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Georgetown, Pennsylvania and Cornell.
 After the steady gales of the past two days, coaches and followers of the sport looked forward to to-day's conditions with no little apprehension While a good steady breeze is blow. ing it's direction lies immediately down the course, with no indication of fresh. ening. During the early morning hours when the tide was running strongly or the flood, the water was exceedingly chOppy and the outlook not altogether inviting. But along toward noon as the tide became slack the seas died away into ripples. With no change of weather the crews will race under splendid conditions
 It seems safe to predict, however, that no records will be broken this year, for whcHssl M 6fghts get under way at 5 o'ciodk the water will again be almost slack Without a strong tide in its favor no crew can expect to beat the mark of 1853 2-5 set by Cornell in 1901. Rowing ex perts make this prediction in spite of the fact that Cornell is known to have rowed the course this year in practice in 1924 flat, beating the record by wide margin. But On the occasion of this splendid spurt both water and wind were with the shell.
 Columbia, Syracuse, Wisconsin. Georgetown, Pennsylvania and Cornell will be placed in positions as named, the Columbia crew having position No 1 on the west shore.
 POughkeepsie has filled up over night as if by magic. Special trains have been bringing college men, under graduates and alumni from all parts of the country. The little city is alive with college colors. In sharp contrast to last year is the predominance of the bright orange of Syracuse, owing to the victories of the Syracuse crews in last years regatta. Cornell, however. remains the fav0rite in the betting and with the experts in boating matters. No crew here admittedly has the pol ish of the Cornell varsity eight.
 Whether they will triumph over the sturdy Drawn and grit of Syracuse and remains to be seen. Penn sylvania. Columbia and Georgetown are all regarded as factors. There has never been more open look to the big race
 Arrangements for the regatta have been carried out on an elaborate scale
