presume to tell them that they were
wrong to expel the English from their

to Colonel Roosevelts address to the
students at the university March 2S
which led to hostile demonstrations by
the nationalists.
Kamel Bey, vice president of the ma
tionalist party, spoke to 10, 900 Egyp-

tions of Roosevelt. He said that Roose-
velt came to Egypt to hunt down peo-
pie striving for independence.

of British occupation, said he, "but
to protest against him who has dared
to mock our demand for a constitution

pose our aspirations toward inde-

welcomed Roosevelt as a 'broadmin led
citizen of q free country, and as such
to wish him godspeed, but he has only
sought to appear in Egypt as a true

forget that he is one of the foremost
citizens of free America. He seems

try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed a

COLORS OF UNIVERSITY
CREWS DUE TO ACCIDENTS
Oxford and Cambridge Use Con-
traSts by Courtesy

oxford and Cambridge acquired their
rival shades OF blue by a curious chap
ter Of accidents. In 1929, when the first
varsity boatrace was rowed, uniforms
had become general. and the Oxford
crew found some difficulty in hitting on
a novelty. They therefore adopted a
modified form Of the colors Of Christ
Church, then, as new, head of the river
and donned for the first race black
straw hats with a broad blue ribbon.
and blue and white striped jerseys, -
says the Westminster Gazette
The monopoly Of q broad blue ribbon
claimed by the varsity crew did not
pass without protest. In 1851 an
authoritative request was sent TO some
offending colleges that gentlemen
should not wear the dress of the uni
versity eight" One college is said to
have sent back the saucy answer that
the university eight be requested to
change their ribbonw
Cambridge, like Oxford, at first
adopted the badge Of its best boating
college, and chose pink, which was
the color of Lady Margaret, their head

took place in 1886, that Cambridge first
wore light blue, and then only by the
naerest accident. AS they were push

Searles Yard. Westminster, somebody
remarked that the boat had no
color in it's bow. Thereupon the
late p n. Phillips, mighty Cam
bridge rowing man, rushed into a
neighboring haberdasher's shop and
purchased some "Eton blue" ribbon.
This the crew adopted with enthusiasm
and ever since Cambridge has worn
light blue. while Oxford has courte-
ously deepened her shade Of blue for
the sake of contrast.
