Clean Sport at Princeton.

To the tune of 'Tammany:

You can hear the breakers break,
Carnegie, Carnegie.
Andy, Andy,
You're a dandy.
Carnegie!
This was the song with which the
students of Princeton welcomed the
Laird of Skibo' to the ice-covered
lake which, through his generosity,
has taken the place of old Nassau's
historic swamp. 1t was, perhaps, a
little irreverent. If so. Mr.. Car
negie did not mind. And il had spe-
cial value in that it encouraged the
institutions bencfactor to open his
heart on the subject of college ath-
letics. Here is the Alumni Weekly's
brief of that part of his speech:
Mr.. Carnegie then referred TO the .se-
rlous and delicate subject Of sport
saying that aquatics have u spOtless
reputation. and that he hoped that the
influence OF aquatics upon Princeton
would be to lift every other sport to
mat level. He deplored the commercial
3tAA4N VI 4oOlDall introduced by profess
slonal coaching, but reioiced that the
game is becoming cleaner, and cOngrat-
uIaIed princeton upon its share in the
reform Also he said that il would give
MIS- Carnegie and himself the greatest
pleasure TO present a trophy for the FIRST
lake
Hardly any one else could have
been heard so willingly by such
body on such a subject Hardly any
other circumstance could have given
such emphasis TO such a caution
against the American spirit of win
ming even at the cost of good-fellow-
ship. Yet the part Princeton's
alumni are taking in keeping our
local athletics clean, the larger work
being done by her graduates in
helping clean college athletics. indi-
cate that Mr.. Carnegie did nothing
more than add force to a movement
which this school has already done
much TO further.

FIRE SPREADS OVER
FIFTEEN SQUARE MILES

A weIl-known engineer stated last
in San F'ranciseo approximatesl 10000
acres. or about fifteen square miles.
There are few cities in the world
where SO much valuable property is
contained in an equal territorial area.
Within this fifteen square miles were
nearly 100 banks some of the finest
buildings in the world. thousands of
mercantile and manuta curing estab-
lishments and more than 250,o00 inhab-
itants, besides some A, 900 transients.
These stupendous facts serve to con-
vey a faint idea of the magnitude of
the losses sustained and the vast ex-
tent of the ruin They also serve to
sharply emphasize the comparatively
small loss of life from all CAUSES
ing.
The aggregate of fatalities will prob
ably not exceed 700, will certainly not
reach 1000 A striking proof of the
manner in which the civil
and military authorities handled the
situation.
notwithstanding the enormous and
destruction, the homes of |
10000 people are still standing practi- |
oally uninjured There still remain the |
great shipyards at the Potrero, the Pa |
cific Mail docks, the stockyards at
South San Francisco, the docks, manu-
factories along the waterfront from
Mission creek to Hunters Point The
mint, the postoffice and a large retail
district on Fillmore and Devisadero
streets.
There is still a big city standing in

NO WASTE IN CANDY BUSINESS

There is this similarity between the
candy business and the iron business
the scrap is not allowed to go to waste.
An observer who had an idea that
candy manufacturers must have to
stand a lot of loss because candies get
stale took the trouble to investigate
and learned that his idea was wrong
The big candy makers ship to their
agents throughout the country at stat
cd intervals. usually of week. their
standard CONNECTIONS and all NOT sold
at the expira ton of the interval are
returned to the factory as scrap. As
the candy is mostly sugar and sugar is
as indestructible as iron. it, is only a
question for the candy maker of get
ting the sugar value out of the scrap.
1t is impossible to work over the
candy into its original form but it can
be used in many ways. For example.
the chief use to which stale chocolates
are put is in making caramels and
other chevy confections
It's a mistake idea that CANDY ,nust
be fresh to be good. One manufacturer
~ no makes only for the trade and con-
hneS himself chiefly To high class choc-
oiates and bOnbOns said that candy
WASH mt To eat until il had been sea
soned for at least ten days For his
own use-and he is a great lover of
candy. despite the general belief that
no cook cares for his own messes-he
keeps chocolates about month before
eating them
TRiS man has no patience with those
who 'aSsert that coIored candy is pofs-
"H"us- His argument is simple. As
he puts il.
