CROWELL DROPS OUT
George Washington Coach
Cannot Return in 1907.
THE HATCHETITEs' BEST YEAR
Football Team Was More Successful
Than Any Previous One, and the
Financial Returns Exceeded Ex-
pectations-Captain to BE Elected
This Week md ''W" Awarded.

Coach Willie Croweil who was in charge
of the George Washington football squad
during the past fall. will not return to the
local university next season, and the man
agement is already planning to obtain
successor to the former Swarthmore cap
tain
When Crowell signed the contract with
the Hatchetites last spring, it was with
the understanding that he would come
here for only one year, as he intended 10
join his father in Philadelphia in the in
surance business. The former crack drop
kicker may assist. from time TO time, In
the coaching at his old college. but it is
practically certain that he will never
again accept position As head coach.
While the failure TO defeat Georgetown
was a big disappointment 10 George
Washington, nevertheless Crowelrs work
was highly satisfactory, and ne could
probably again have the position if he
were inclined TO accept it. With
the exception Of the Thanksgiving Day re-
verse at Georgetown Field the past sea-
son was the most successful that the Buff
and Blue has ever experienced. as the
shOwings made against Virginia, Lehigb,
and SwarthmOre earned for George Wash
ington recognition in the ratings for the
Southern teams an honor that had never
before been won by the institution.
Council to Meet Soon.
The athletic council will hold a meet
ing during the coming week, at which
the awards Of "W's" will be made to
every player who participated in the
championship games After the initials
are awarded the players will meet and
elect a captain for next fall. The indi-
cations are that Cunning. who has played
end for two years. and who is also
member of the varsity field and track
team. will receive the honor. The cleo
tion OF a manager will be held during
the winter. and if Wilson, who so sue
cessfully conducted the affairs Of this
seasons team. can be persuaded 10 again
act. he will probably be reelected. Flnan-
cially the past season was George Wash
ingtcn's most successful, as the sport
was conducted On a larger scale than
ever before, and there is good sized
balance in the treasury with which to
start next season.

DAIRY NOTES.


II the heifer calf shows incipient
horns, use stick of caustic potash
and water on them and kill the horns,
then they won't grow.
When drying cows off give them dry
food and milk occasionally only, max
ing intervals between milkings longer
and larger. Feed no slops.
Cows forms habits quite quickly.
Teach them to stand in their stalls
while being MIXED and they will soon
respond by giving their milk freely
when put in the stable.
1t is astonishing how civilized a
member of society it makes of a bull
if he has to work like other folks
and is not kept away from his fellows
as though he was criminal.
One thing is essential in growing
good dairy COWS as it is in good beef
breeds, and that is in keeping pure
bred dairy type sires at the head of
the herds.

Feminine Tears Touch
Hearts of Steiner Sex.

1t is considered unbecoming by
women to shed tears when in trouble.
They are placing themselves on an
equality with men in all ways, and,
as men are supposed never to be
guilty of such weakness, women also
must initiate this stoicism and devel-
op hardness or Strong-mindedne
whichever we may choose to call 1t.
1t is very questionable if this is good
for women in any way; it is relief
to shed tears, and many a man would
be glad if it were not regarded as
cowardice for him to weep. 1t Is
Natures method, or one of her meth
DDS, of assuaging grief, and the in
ability to indulge in tears leads many
men to drink as means of giving
vent to their feelings.
From another point of view, how
ever, this stoicism is certainly preju-
dicial; that is, in the chances of mar
riage. Whatever men may say, it is
inherent in them to like a tender
woman; they see in her one who will
sympathize with them, and who will
come 10 LuSIH lUr Sy IupdtHy. NO ludn
rreally likes to see woman cry, for
it hurts him and makes him uncom-

relieve her, but all men prefer WON.
an who can and does cry. Not a
foolish, faint-hearted specimen of hui
mainly, who fiops down at any trou-
BILE, however small, but really ten
der-hearted creature who, although
brave enough, does not try to en-
case herself in a kind of additional
outer skin, or suit of mail, that will
render her proof against sentiment.
A woman of that sort, they not I'M
naturally imagine, will be a very UNI
desirable helpmeet in this world of
ups and downs, and they look for
one who has not lost the ability to
weep in true feminine fashion.
In spite of their moral strength,
men always want some one in whom
they can confide. What encourage
men can they expect from woman
who knows how to weep, and regards
it as undignifed?

Pretty Party GiUen
by College Girls.

Four college girls gave this pretty
affair in reception room of their
dormitory hall. The room had a
glowing CRATE fire and red berries
graced vases and jars, spray or two
in each after the Japanese fashion.
The chocolate-that favorite winter
beverage of every schoolgirl--was
served piping hot with a heaping
spoonful of whipped cream on top of
a tall cup. There was a deliciously
strange flavor about it that was
given by pinch of cinnamon and a
few drops of vanilla; then just be-
fore serving it had been vigorously
beaten with an egg beaten. Graham
waters, brown raisin bread sand
witches, candied ginger and orange
peel were served. A variation from
plain chocolate is made by following
a French recipe. Take four table
spoons of grated chocolate to pint
OF milk, sugar to sweeten according
to taste; when it has thoroughly
boiled pour over the yolk of an egg,
beating constantly to prevent curd-
ling.
This makes a very rich drink. A
half pint of coffee added to the same
quantity of chocolate makes pleas
ing change.

Notifies in Butter.

The subject of notifies in butter is
one that has been widely discussed.
Though the notifies do not hurt the
butter for eating purposes they do
hurt it greatly for selling. The buyers
imagine that something must be the
matter with it or it would not have
notifies. The fact that it is an un-
known quantity is what makes notifies
so destructive to the selling of butter.
Among the many opinions that are
citable, says Farmers Review, the
most popular one is that the notifies
are simply due to the fact that the
salt is not evenly worked through the
butter. This view of it is that salt
raises the color of butter and that the
color of the butter may all be made
the same even after it has been mot
tied. This is evidenced by the fact
that the renovating factories take mot
tied butter as well as other butter to
work into their product. One butter
maker says that when butter comes
soft it has the most notifies.
