AGGIEs 20 TO O.

Seattle t-Intelligencer: Once
more the University of Washington
football team has earned the right to
be called champion For the third
consecutive time Coach Gilmour Dobie
and his eleven have brought the great
est gridiron honor of the northwest to
the state university. Washington,
playing steadily, fiercely, and with
ceaseless energy, yesterday won from
the Oregon agricultural college on
Denny field, score % to 0. Four touch
downs and two goal kicks was the
sum total of the scoring, leaving the
purple and gold decisive winner
Washington's victory was witnessed
by the largest crowd that ever attend
ed an intercollegiate game on the local
Rridiron More than 1000 people
damned the bleachers and grand
stands and overfiowed into the only
available standing room on the quar-
ter-mile track. WI 'oh bounds the foot
ball field. Against the dark bank OF
spectators which overlooked the white
lined gridiron stood out the royal pur-
pie and flaming gold of Washington,
while here and there the orange of
o. A. c. blazed out on hats and long
pennanted canes.
Good Roofing by Students.
Over in the west bleachers the
undergraduates were massed, and the
roll of "Osky- wow-wow," led by a
gyrating yell chief, gave power to the
varsity men, fighting against a cour
ageous team in the football arena
Tah, stately pines looked in at the
struggle from over the high board
fence which surrounds the field, and

be seen the inevitable small boy, anx-

Raku. and not more than fifty miles
from the Black sea. At least one gush-

at an extraordinary rate for about three

what may be expected from the wells

support, has materially raised the aver
age of craftsmanship at the annua
tournament, while the personnel of its
executive and its practical organization
have set a new and high mark for the
conduct of these matches. Such tangible
evidence of purport and competence give
assurance that encouragement to the par

though an extremely difficult element
to cope with, it would certainly give
general satisfaction If the specialists
were barred and the entries confined to
the rank and file of bona fide militiamen
for whose benefit the target practice is
designed. 1t is likely. too. that the eff

will have an exemplary influence upon
the loose methods which obtain at some
of the contests under the committee for
the promotion of rifle practice. where, as
we saw last summer in the national

openly ignored with the knowledge of the

THE WITCH STICK.
What Is the Explanation of the Use
of the sDowser"?


Letter to the New York Sun.
I am half ashamed to confess that l do
not know whether the witch stick used
by the New England countryman to 10
cate water for digging well is a super
stition, or whether it has actual value in
divining water under ground.
In New England they call this curious
thing q witch stick; among the Cat
skills they simply cali 1t the willow
stick; countrymen IN other parts call
1t the "divining rod" 1 have actually
seen a grave countryman cut one OF these
sticks, twist it In curious fashion in his
two hands, and walk about holding 1t
close to the ground until suddenly some
unseen power twisted the stick almost out
Of his grasp. Then he stopped and an
Nnounced that there was spring under
heath that spot, at such and such a
depth. Digging there revealed the spring
at the depth at which he stated water
would be found. This was in Massachu-
sets. l have seen exactly the same per-
Torrance in the Catskills.
A number of Intelligent persons whom l
have met say that they have witnessed
this thing, but none of them seems to be
able to explain why twisted stick can
located a subterranean stream or spring.
They all speak about it pretty much as l
do-as if they had been to seance.
One or two have spoken about the law
of attraction, but have merely referred
to it accidentally. without explaining the
thing I'll wager that there are thou
sands of people who are uneasy over this
business and would like to know some
thing about it.

Not very long ago there was a dapper
old gentleman of ninety-odd years, who,
having published in his youth famous
technical book that remains in wide de-
mand even to this day, used to call fire.
quently at his publishers on matters Of
business. Although his face expressed an
almost mummffied effect Of great age,
and. his carriage was a little jerky In the
nature of it's spryness, he1was neverthe-
less clad upon those occasions in the lat
est fashion of beau about town. His
clothes were not plain. One recalls their
effect of having pattern-waS it an in
visible check or plaid?-his trousers were
creased and generally light in hue; his
neckties were not those Of a man Of
ninety-odd, and over his trim, pointed
shoes he wore light tan CATERS. The
browning glory of his garb-like q brave
wild flower glowing upon an ancient ruin
was the carnation which was never alb
sent from the lapel Of his coat, except
when he presented 1t with a low bow to
some fair lady. A gallant gentleman, who
declined to surrender to age. and was
only conquered by death because Of that
iron necessity of our human fate.
The society Of which he was product

women as the fair sex, with all which the
words imply; they cherished them, yet as
something not too good for human ma
lures daily food, and they even wrote
verses to them involving such phrases as
hearts fragrance, modest eyes,"
bashful sweetness and the like, and In
such a chirography! Theirs was not the
handwriting of our contemporary bust
ness men,: it had an almost feminine del
icacy, and a precision which Is now sup

There were many speciments OF this

into the hands of the weekly-one Of
those autograph albums bound in red

were owned by the young ladies OF the
period, and within whose pages were en-
balmed the sentimental addresses Of their
admirers.
Openly chivalrous in tone, tender In
spirit, what has become Of the young
men Of 1928 who were not ashamed to
write a copy OF verses In their ladies' al

Prof. Morse, Inventor of the Tele-
graph, an Applicant, But Failed
to Get Contract.

Long before the old building, the orig
inal Capitol, was ready to receive works
of art, statuary or painting that subject
had engaged attention. Even before the
exact site of the building had been fixed
there was a suggestion made by DR.. Will
liam Thornton that a place be left on
which to erect a statue of Columbus.
There was, too, the project or erecting
a monument of Washington in the Capt.
tol, and after his death in 1888 with the
erection of the monument measures were
taken by Congress for entombing his
remains in the building at a future time.
To this Mrs. Washington gave her con-
sent, but after the completion of the
central part when arrangements were
being made for the removal of the re-
mains on the centenary of his birth, Feb
ruary %, 1882, objections were made by MS
relatives and by the people of Virginia,
and in Difference to that sentiment, ex-
pressed in the resolutions of the general
assembly of Virginia, nothing was done:
Before the invasion of the British and
destruction of the buildings in August,
1914. there had been some statuary placed
in the two wings, also few paintings
1t was while the work of restoring the
two wings was in progress that sculpture
and painting for the building was con-
sidered in an act of Congress, and not
infreuuently did articles on the subject
appear in public print. The work or
Giovanni Andrea and Giuseppe Franzonl
in the halls of Congress had attracted at
tention, and the completion of the rotunda
beneath the dome was looked forward to
with expectancy that works of art de-
picting scenes in our history would find
place therein.

such are preserved.
