CONSERVATION reigned in one of the
city millineries for while Monday.
A lady was having dream constructed
on which was an $1S plume and the
creation was completed She telephoned
she would call for it. The milliner
carefully placed it in box and put it
in the window for delivery. In the
meantime another lady with q small
boy came in to look at some hats.
While the mother was inspecting, the
small boy became tired and wandered
out. The owner of the hat arrived and
asked for the new dream. A look
failed to disclose it. All the employees
were questioned and none new anything
about it. Finally some one said they
saw small boy move out with a hat
box. They went outside to look and uI
the street small distance was the
small four-year-old seated on the hat
box calmly taking in the sights. The
hat was promptly rescued by the dis
tracted milliner and careful inspec
ton disclosed that only the box was
broken. Hereafter small boys will BIZ
watched in that millinery.

MARTIN SUCCEEDS GIBBS.
Quarter-Miler Will Lead
GEORGETOWN Runners.

Establishing a new custom, that OF
electing track captains at the end OF
each season. this years cinder path men
at Georgetown met yesterday noon and
elected as leader for 1909-10. John Mar
tin of Johnstown, Pa. and a member
of the sophomore class OF the college.
much to the. satisfaction of ell the
students Of the school. The announce
ment of the selection was first made
to the new captains schoolmates at the
assembly of the athletic association. and.
needless to be said, it was received with
approval and applause by all present.
Coming TO the Georgetown prep school
four years ago. Martin soon jumped into
the limelight by performing the feat
of winning his letter in three branches
of sport during his first year there. He
played halfback on the foot ball team
in the fall, ran on the relay team in the
winter and pitched on the base ball team
in the spring. Considering that his on =
previous experience was received in
small high school. his work among the
stellar athletes of local interscholastic
circles was nothing short of phenomenal.
After repe eating his record during his
second year as a prep. Martin became a
freshman I'm the college. and started out
to make a name for himself among the
varsity satellites. Being too small for
college foot ball, he gave all his atten-
and Gray relay four a year ago last
winter. but was not allowed to compete
on account of scholarship conditions.
This year he cleared all obstacles away.
and competed for his alma mater at the
local meets, at Baltimore, and at New
York. In every race his work was par
excellence. and it was not long before
he became feared by the other quarter
milers of this section.
He intends to give all his spare time
to drilling next years candidates prob
ably calling same out in November He
hardly thinks that either Gibbs or Smith
will stay in retirement. and is confident
that both will be with him during the
whole of next winter Having Boern-
stine. Schlosser. Rice. Mulligan. O'Con-
nor. Pierce and quite few others Of the
old lads as working nucleus, with A
couple of new ones who are sure to show
up, Capt. Martin has every reason to be-
lieve that he will be able to lead one Of
the best cinder path squads OF the south.

TRAvERs FACES TEST.
American Champion Seeks to Repeat
Travis British Victory

Golf championships galore are on the
tapis for this week. the program includ-
ing important fixtures both here and
across the sea. OF course, all eyes will
be focused on the dispatches received
from abroad because of the presence of
Jerome d. Travers. the American title
holder in the amateur championship tour
nament OF Great Britain, which begins
at Muirfield today. Can Travers VIM
is the question that has been asked thou
sands of times within the last few weeks.
or ever since he began practicing on the
other side.
While most golfers here believe that
Travers when at his best is the equal of
any amateur abroad. they also realize
that the odds against him or anX other
single Individual are almost overwhelm-
ing. Nevertheless, Walter Travis faced
these odds in 1904 and won the title. He
viii be opposed to the greatest players
in England and Scotland-men who were
winning titles before he was born. In
cluded in the list will be such veterans
as Horace Hutchinson, winner In 1856 and
1887: the six-time champion John Ball,
who first won spurs in 1887: j. +. Laid
lay. Harold Hilton, Robert Maxwell,
lanes Robb and A. E. Lassen, the pres
ent champion.
In some respects it may be said that
the Muirfieid is favorable to the chances
of Travers, as it's gentle undulations
more resemble the conditions found In
this country. 1t may also be worthy of
mention that for the present struggle the
course has undergone a number Of
changes. brought about through the leas-
ing of fifteen additional acres of land.
This has made it possible to change con-
siderably the character OF the eighth,
ninth and tenth holes and incidentally in
crease the playing length of the full cir
cult to 62l2 yards.

ANOTHER RECORD
FOR MART SHERIDAN

NEW YORK, May 24.-Another world S
record fell before the mighty arm o. Mar
tin Sheridan yesterday afternoon. At
the San Salvidor games at the Pastime
Oval he hurled the discus the new Olym-
pic style 1873 feet 11s4 inches, beating by
more than seven inches the mark made
by himself three weeks ago.
This thing will travel many record dis
tances this year." he said before the
games. as he picked UP the saucer shaped
missile. I've been making new records
every day in practice" he continued, and
I'll do it today"
He made good his promise, but not un-
til he had become a little nervous about
it. Four times he shot the discus through
the air to unprecedented distances. but
each time he Overstepped his bounds and
threw foul. Il can't seem to get used
to this ring" he said as he entered it
for the NTH time. Il guess I'll 90 little
easy" With only a little force In his
swing he let go his hold and the weight
went HURTING through the air l2S feet.
1t was far behind his record. but he had
remained within the circle.
Il have IL now" he said. as he toed
the mark for his final throw This time
he let 60 with a terrific swing that sent
the weight on its journey. 1t sailed
straight and true. and before it struck
the ground it had travelled f3S feet I'm
inches, 1t was a grand throw and pleased
the crowd immensely. After the meet he
said he would never do his best I'm his first
throw again. He had convinced himself
It was better policy to begin with an
easy throw and improve with each than
take a chance of fouling and losing out
on his best throw.

shoes. steel products. coal OIL cotton
cloth and many other things. have
actually been sold abroad for lower
prices than We could get them for In
this country. This proved that on
all those things the tariff Was too
high, and that the manufacturers and
not the workmen, were getting the
benefit OF the taxes the rest OF us
paid
II is probable that the present
tariff law will be the best We have
ever had. The people are awakening
to the fact that many a trust Ia hid
Ing behind the tariff wall, and stealing
immense profits from the common
people Of this country. The people
are being heard from. as was shown
In the vote on the oil tariff. when
the House went after the Standard
oil Co.. in spite OF the appeals OF the
leaders, and took away the tariff
which Is partly responsible for the
great wealth Rockefeller has taken
from us. The people are going az
ter other things, too. Better Congress
men are being elected, and many are
honest nowadays. And Pres. Taft
has demanded that the present law
be a fair one. Il will surely be an
improvement.
The next step will probably be a
tariff commission. and when the tariff
has been taken out OF the realm of
politics, where It is made the sport
OF corruption and selfishness. and
put into the realm OF administration
where It belongs, and where Its fair
ness is made dependant on C few men
who can be watched and held to nc
countability, there well be much better
times for this whole country, and
VIC will all buy our goods about thirty
per cent cheaper.

TEL E F. "A r M
MOISTURE OF The CROPS

Many farmers fail to realize the
relation of moisture to the production
of crops. Water is to the plant what
blood is to the human system. Green
plants contain from 60 to 30 per cent
OF water and this must be present If
the plant is to grow. Yet a plant tina
is so per cent OF water only needs
about one fourth of the rain that
falls in a single year. This needed
one fourth must be saved and the
other three fourths must be removed
IL it docs not run off itself. Too
much water drives the air out OF
the ground and makes it cool. A
cold soil containing but little air
never makes a good crop.
If a farmer is to succeed, he must
regulate the water supply. Uneven
drainage makes it impossible to till
the soil at the right time, some places
will be too dry and others too wet.
But how is this TO be done? II
the ground is low and has not a nat
uraI drainage, one must be provided.
Tile drains can be put in at a fair
cost. If you have not the tile open
bitches will often do great good. Much
of our best land is producing poor
crops. simply because we do not drain
off the extra water. A few bitches
and a little lime will dry up and
sweeten the low places and make
them produce fine crops. Remember
that water will not run up hill and
make down hill way for the extra
three fourths TO run off.
But how about that field where 1t
all runs off? Can we save the need
ed one fourth? We can, How? By
making q deep soil, by keeping HUI
mus or vegetable matter on the soil
in winter, by early and deep spring
blowing and by keeping the surface Of
the soil loose during the growing sea-
son. Il Is the hard baked soil from
which the water evaporates and not
the loose.
We can deepen the soil by blowing
deep and saving the soil from washing
off. We can increase the humus
or vegetable matter in the soil by
applying manure, corn stalks, etc, by
