gone further and made us cousin to

College Sonqs.

For college men the songs peculiar
to their alma mater will always have
. special charm and significance. They
are sung joyously during the four years
of college life. and are recalled with
tenderness during all the years OF
after life. When so much OF the col
lege spirit lies in the songs and is SO
constantly fostered by them. it Is
strange that the songs themselves
should so rarely possess real beauty Of
composition or dignity of sentiment.
To be sure, Princeton has her "Old
Nassau" and the great university of
Cambridge has Fair Harvard" and
some other colleges have songs not
unworthy to be passed on from class
to class. Nevertheless, most of the
undergraduate lung power is used up
in the Fill -'em-up-again-John or the
"Down-with-S Somebody" class of mu-
sic. 1t was a perception of this fact
that led Yale alumnus to offer a
prize of $50 a few years ago for a
really worthy Yale song. This offer
having ldlltu W pIOuuSo LILO ocoii w
result, the prize was increased to
$500. 1t has now been awarded for a
dignified, serious and. to coin word.
matriotic song. the theme of which is
recognition Of the aims and achieve
.ments of the university. The incident
ought to be suggestive to other men OF
means who wish to do something for
their university. declares the Youths
Companion, and still more suggestive
to college students everywhere who
have the gift of song-writing. A col
lege boy would deserve well of his
classmates and OF all who come after
him II he should succeed in producing
= song which should become identified
with the college life. 1t is a much
more enduring distinction than writ
dng the fiamboyant fapdoodle which Is
supposed to cheer the deathless heroes
of the annual great game.

RACE AROUND THE WORLD.
Six Automobiles Start in Race From
New York to Paris.

New York-The six automobiles
contesting in the New York to Paris
race started from Times square,
Forty-second street and Broadway. at
11:15 a. m. Wednesday. cheered by y
throng of several thousand people.
Accompanied by more than 200 motors
of all descriptions, the racing ma
chimes made their way up Broadway
and Riverside drive to the city limits.
where they turned north on the road
to Albany.
From that city the route to San
Francisco, which is the objective point
of the first stage of the trip, lies across
New York state to Buffalo, thence
through Cleveland and Toledo to Chi
cago, to Omaha, Cheyenne, Ogden.
Reno, Goldfeld, San Luis Obispo and
San Francisco. Mayor Mcclellan was
to have given the word to start, but
was delayed and Colgate Hoyt of the
Automobile Club of America took his
place.
All traffic in the neighborhood Of
Times square was stopped half hour
before the start. Automobiles clogged
the intersecting streets and lined the
route for many blocks up Broadway.
No such aggregation Of machines has
been seen in or about New York since
the last Vanderbilt cup race was run.
A band in the official grandstand
played the anthems of the nations as
the cars lined up for the start.
pistol shot sent the contestants away
amid the cheering OF the people and
the hoarse hooting of hundreds of au-
tomobile horns.
The contesting cars are the queerest
lnnl.inU mn lau
motoring purposes. With their heavy
equipment for stores and camp uten-
sils. several of them were a modern
representation OF the old prairie
schooner. One resembled a hook and
ladder truck with long running boards
on either side, equipped with axes.
shovels, ropes, and "A dozen other ar
ticles.
Three French cars. one German. one
italian and one American started in
the race. Three men constituted the
crews of the foreign machines, but
there were only two in the American
car. The three French cars are steered
by G. Bourcier St Chaffray, NJ. GODDARD
and NJ. Pons, the German car by Lieut..
koeppen, OF the Prussian army, the
Italian car by Antonio Scarfoglio and
the American car by Montague Roberts
Each machine carried the nag OF its
own nation and that OF the United
States. They were plentifully decor
ated with signs and placards so there
could be no mistaking their Identity
wherever seen. The buildings sur
rounding Times square were decorated
with flags and bunting and the start
was quite spectacular.
Estimates vary as to the length OF
time the race will require. From six to
nine months. it is believed. will be
consumed.
All the drivers are confident of
reaching their destination through the
frozen fields OF Alaska and Siberia.
Steamers will transport the machines
from San Francisco to Valdez. Alaska.
and from Nome to East Cape. Siberia,
