COL UMBIA ROWS
HARVARD TODAY

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, April lI.-Final
arrangements were made early today for
the biennial race this afternoon between
the crews of Columbia and Harvard Uni-
versties. The big basin of the Charles
river, placid and without current. shone
like great silver mirror during the early
morning save where whiff of air strayed
down over the Brookline hills and ruffled
the surface for few moments.
A BIZ grandstand on the Charles bank
overlooking the finish and the several
boat clubs along the shore were busy
places in expectation of many guests.
The Harvard crew did not indulge in
further practice for the race, but Coach
Rice of Columbia sent his crew out on a
limbering-up spin about an hour after
breakfast. Both coaches, Rice of Column
bia and Wray of Harvard. appeared con-
fident Of the outcome.
TIE Columbia crew was courteously
given the choice of courses. but delayed
their decision until noon.
The contest today between Columbia
and Harvard was the second In which
they have participated in the last two
years. and as in the 1907 event the Har-
ward crew was defeated, 1t was with con-
siderable determination that the Crimson
oarsmen went into the contest today 10
make matters even with their rivals OF
the light blue and white.

AS viewed by the Post Office Depart
ment the American Soap Works has been
conducting fraudulent business. resort
ing to deception regarded as ingenious.
The company advertises in newspapers
safety razors free stating that TO in
troduce its soap quickly it will send a
sample box of soap. together with a
new improved safety razor outfit in a
fine handsome case all complete for shaw
ing, safety razor free to any one sending
10 cents in silver or six two-cent stamps
for sample box of soap" In former
advertisements the company represented
that the ID cents was asked ito help pay
boxing, packing, mailing, etc The de-
partment maintains that such advertise
ments are designed to lead the reader to
believe that upon payment of 10 cents
he will receive substantial safety razor
outfit of standard type. such as is indi-
Gated in the illustration accompanying

The company, through Ella B. Putnam
of the city of New York. its certified
head, replies to Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Goodwin of the Post Office Depart
ment. that the 10 cents received does not
afford u profit on each transaction, al
though the department learns that no

for the cost of postage. advertising and
other incidental expenses and ito protect
the company from being preyed upon by
curiosity seekers and that it depended
upon recorders for it's profits. without
which it could not continue In business.
The department replies, however. that
the razor outfit is such a cheap article
that, together with the accompanying
soap, it costs less than 10 cents. accord
ing to the advertisers own statement.
Moreover, the department has infofma-
ton that the company disposed of these
outfits by coupons at 10 cents each. and
that these sales constituted the sole
business of the American Soap Works.
