last year. He will undoubtedly be
Yales best at the short distances.
Pennsylvania has lost several of its
stars, among them being the clever Dali
rymple. who competed in the sprints
and diving and plunging contests
last season. The team. however, has
much new material and expects to be
well up in front when the season starts
on Jan. 90. Shryock, the present inter-
collegiate furlong champions; Anthony,
the Philadelphia crack who won the
middle Atlantic 100 yard champion
ship; Sylvester. Graham. Haus, Hop
kinson and Yerkes are the most reli-
able men of those who are practfc1ng.
Pennsylvania has won the champion
ship four out of five times.
Harvard. though without the serv-
ices Of Merriam. last years water polo
captain. has Il good string of candi-
dates in the field. Rice, Reed, Hoyt,
Ladd. Hooper. Henderson and Jose are
some of the men trying for the SWIM
ming and water polo teams. The With
ingtons, both of whom are football
players ana expert swimmers, Will
likely report. Cutler, who holds the
DO yard record, will not report. as he
is out for the crew.
1t is now likely that Penn and Har-
ward will meet for the first time since
1906, when the athletic relations be-
tween the institutions were severed.
Penn has been forced each year to for
felt to the Crimson. The swimmers of
neither team are disposed to forfeit
their meet this year. and pressure is
being brought on the authorities to per.
NIT the meet to be held.

Will Help Yale Men-Pcnn and tlar-

Followers Of aquatics in the Inter-
collegiate Swimming association are
Jubilant over the prospects for the
coming season. Though several of last
years stars have been lost to the col
leges, a splendid array of talent has
reported to several captains, and as IA
result the outlook for successful sea-
son Is extremely bright. Despite the
loss by graduation and the eligibility
rule. reports from the members of
the leagues show that plenty of new
material has reported. and the indica-
ton for record season is good.
Princeton especially will be well
fortified. Captain Denniston is pleased
with the men who are practicing daily
IN the tank. The loss of Wheaton
Chambers, the so and 100 yard cham
pion of 1909. will be keenly felt, but
make up for this loss. +. T.. Dennis
ton, the present fifty yard record hold
err, has returned to college after n
years absence, and after rounding into
his former form he will be one Of the
most formidable men in the league
at Chambers distances. With Cross,
who as a freshman reeled off minute
4 seconds for the century last spring;
Battles, Orr Greene, Dawson, Gosnell,
johnson, McWilliams and King to Sc
lect from, a splendid team will repre-
sent the Orange and Black.
McWilliams probably will be one Of
the best plungers of the season, as he
has repeatedly cleared sixty feet and
more. With these men as additions
and Banman, Wilson, Lawrence, Ha-
zen, Parke, Jancway, Wochr and Rau-
man as a nucleus. the team should be
of high calber.

SURFACE DRAINAGE OF ROADS
This Is an Important Feature When
Constructing Highways.

Professor J. r. Davidson Of the
Iowa Agricultural college. who is an
authority on the drainage of highways
to those interested in the construction
of good roads, says that all roads
should be provided with surface drain
age. The cross section should be of
such shape as to shed all rain at
once to the side bitches. TO do this
the road must be oval or have Il crown
and must be smooth The first of these
is matter OF construction and the lat
ter Il matter of maintenance. The side
drainage system should be called upon
to carry rs much water as possible.
Water cannot be carried away by the
tile drains until the water has sunk
through the soil and sOftened it.
The crown of road should be sutli-
cielt to shed the water readily. If the
road is to be maintained and kept free
from ruts and holes less crown will do
than if the road is to he neglected. The
Iowa highway commission recommend
ed slope one incb to Il foot for q
crown in the Travelled way. This is
sufficient for most conditions. The
crown should not be too great. A
steep crown causes the travel to be
concentrated at the center. where ruts
Will be worn ard washing result.
Again, there is some difficulty in vehi-
cles passing. On the side of the crown
the wheels Of the vehicles have Il tend
ency to grind the road down. This
action, together with the swcrving or
flow action of the lower part of the
wheel, has a very marked effect.
The sleeper the slope of the road the
more important the crown, for there
Is tendency for the water to run
down the track rather than to the side.
II water once begins to run down the
center Of the roadway it is but a short
time until the road is quilted out.

RULES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
important Changes In Liquor Traffic
Regulations Have Been Made
Measure Is Strict.

Important changes have been made
in the law regarding the liquor traffic
in British Columbia, bringing that
province moro into conformity with
the eastern provinces in the restric-
ton applied to the liquor traffic. The
measure is a much stricter one than
any heretofore passed in the prov
ince. The changes are In the direc-
ton OF more effective safeguards to
the order, peace and good morals OF
the far-sCattered settlements and
camps, which are yearly coming into
closer association with each other
and with the larger centers of popula-
ton. Under this act hotel must be
a genuine place of entertainment,
with sleeping and table accommoda-
ton. and not q mere drinking place
The number OF licenses in small com
munities is greatly reduced. Regula-
tiOns are made as to the character
and record and race OF the license
holder. There is local option to the
extent that two-thirds of the residents
must petition for the license, all
adults, men and .TOmen alike, having
a voice in this matter The fees are
increased in some cases by so per
cent, in others still more. Large pow
ers are given to the superintendent
of police, and to inspectors in the
Withholding, experimenting. or can
ceiling of licenses. There are also
wholesale and even drastic limitations
on purchasers, aod the use of the in
terdict is greatly enlarged, Sunday
sale of liquor to excursionists is sup
pressed, and the general effect of the
legislation is towards an orderly OBJ
servance Of the day Enforcement of
the law is assisted by placing the bur
den of proof on persons found with
liquor on the premises. Thus not
only in respect to the unorganized dis
tricts, but throughout the provinces,
the changes are in the direction of
greater restriction and stricter regula-
ton.

SAVED OLD LADYS HAIR

My mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
My own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold Weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought l would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

FREAK IN KITTEN TRIPLETS

Tigress, a large cat owned by
James Albone of Middleport, n. Y,
gave birth a few days ago to three
kittens, which were all fastened along
the length OF their sides to one an
other Their heads are all faced one
way and almost in a line, and they are
perfect in head, body and legs, all
three being able to stand at the same
time and walk
They are very active and bright
and were it not for the fact that they
are attached to each other by thick
strip of flesh about an inch and a half
in length along their sides, they would
not seem different from ordinary kit
tens. Owing to their peculiar color
being reddish calico, white and NAL
tese, they have been named Red,
White and Blue
Two other kittens complete the lit
ter. The white kitten is the center Of
one of the trio and seems 10 be the

DRINKING HABIT IN EUROPE
Munich Royal Brewery Is Powerful
Temperance Sermon-Many Men
and Women Squander Lives.

On the authority of labor union
report some time ago it was stated
that one reason American skilled Ia
Dor is superior to European, both in
quality and quantity, is because Amer
leans drink less The following from
a letter in the Emporia Gazette, by
w. A. White, is along this line. The
portion of the letter quoted below
has reference to Munich and Bavaria:
The Munich royal brewery is really
great sight. 1t was a powerful tenn
perance sermon. Imagine a great dark
building nearly as large as the main
building Of the Kansas State Normal
School; imagine it erected in tho
medieval style Of architecture, with
few windows, massive walls, low cell
lings, great wide rooms, and stone
floors. Put long rows of uncovered
rough tables in the dark rooms. Put
men and women at the tables Bloat
their faces. Puff out their bellies.
Blur their eyes, let the animal ,cok
out Of their countenances and put
bling In the dusk of the great room
by the hundreds at 10 o'clock in The
morning when they should be at
work. Here and there in the throng
put some old soak-maE or wolAaL-
whose face has become besotted and
whose soul has withered under the
fire Of years of over-eating and over
drinking, and then put around him
scores who are gradually edging up
to his estate. Then to know that this
scene in the royal brewery is being
duplicated in Munich in hundreds of
similar places where men and women
are squandering Gods good, strong,
clean bodies and souls, and fretting
away useful lives, and one realizes
the great loss that those miles and
miles Of hop vines in Bavaria bring
TO the Bavarian people. Everywhere,
on the sidewalks, in the cafes. In the
parks and gardens. in the restaurants,
IN the beer halls, all day and most of
the night, men and women are at it
eating, drinking, loafng, wasting
themselves for nothing in Gods world
but an artificial sputter of pleasure in
the brain 1t is hell-or If hell IS
worse, It is crueler than it should be"

RATS FORM TOBACCO HABIT

Rats have been accused of many
things since the days of the Pied Pi-

a Big Stone IS. d. resident to accuse

a Big Stone woman keeps a grocery
store. The building had a wooden
floor, and rats gaiDed entrance, car
rying off large quantities of groceries.
Recently to remedy the annoyance
Miss Schnacke, the grocer, had the
floor torn up and a cement floor in
stalled. When the boards were re-
moved and the haunts of the rats un-
covered, remains of quantities of
groceries were found, aad in the as
sortment were parts of several plugs
of tobacco, partly eaten. indicating

Why Do They.

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears TO be:
Thoughtful and kind
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
OF youth
Usually successful.
A man of property
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when 1t
comes to him, as it is a sign of Sc
dateness and dignified learning, which
invariably increases his practise.

WHALE STRANGLED ITSELF

The crew of a cable-repairing ship
working in the Pacific recently
brought back a remarkable story Of
a whale
The vessel in question had been
sent north along the coast of Alaska
to repair the cable, because during the
last winter difficulty had been expert
enced in sending and receiving mes
sages. The ship picked up the cable
connecting Valdez and Sitka, in Cass
Inlet, not far from Sitka. The crew
never had such time hauling a cable
on board as they did that day on the
the Alaska coast. Finally the cause
OF the great weight was made known
Some time during the winter a
whale feeding on the bottom of the
ocean, with wIde-open mouth, collided
with the wire rope Unable to shape
the big wire from the mass of whale
bone in its Jaws, the big mammal
turned turtle" rolled over once,
turned round, rolled again and
diyed
In these few movements the fish
proved himself his own hangman, for
the cable was twisted tighter about
the head of the whale than any man
could have twisted it with the most
powerful machinery. The whale
drowned, and the carcass was de-
voured on the bottom of the ocean by
fish. The crew of the cable ship haul
ed up an immense load of whalebOne,
and found great twist in the govern
ment cable that had been the cause
of the unusual difficulty in sending
messages to and from either end OF
