POWDER SUPPLY
WOULDN'T LAST
Fighting Bob Evans Says Our Pow

for Three Hours.

Under the title of rs the United
States Prepared for War; in the No
vember Munsey, Rear Admiral Evans
produces an array of figures which
cannot but be taken to mean that en-
practically we are not.
Fighting Bob's' statements must
inevitably cause a sensation in con.
gress, for if it is true that a branch
of the service costing $139,OO0,OO0 a
year is hopelessly inadequate to cope
with a real fighting force, it is only
to be supposed that the matter will be
made a question of congressional in.

the world, or to have any weight in
such role, without the assistance of
some first-class naval power, they are
sadly mistaken.

our ships may be, and no matter how
many guns of the best quality they
may carry, our feet will be useless for

the other battleships that would be
in commission in time of threatened
trouble, or of the many cruisers and
torpedo boats. If to this amount we
add the powder that will be burned by
the six-inch, five-inch and three-inch
guns, we find that the fleet, as at pres

6,234,000 pounds of powder.
I'VE must certainly have enough
powder on hand to allow the fleet to
fight for three hours, and this would
amount to 1S,729.000 pounds. If we
allow an equal amount for the fleet in

we find that we would require for use

Important Ideas
in Athletics of
Colleges Are Up
Meeting Of Intercollegiate Association
to Be Held in New York
This Month.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-New foot ball,
summer base ball for collegians. track ath-
letics, basket ball and the advisability of
forming leagues of the colleges and uni
versities in certain sections Of the country
will come up for discussion at the fifth
annual convention Of the intercollegiate
Athletic association OF the United States
in this city on November 90
A proposition to change the name Of the
body to the National Collegiate Athletic
association also may be considered. This
is because the influence Of the association
has become so extended. seventy-one uni
versities and colleges. representing over
100000 students. are members Of the body.
1t is expected that this number win be
increased greatly at the annual conven-
ton.
Foot ball is discussed in the circular is
sued by Captain Palmer e. Pierce. presi-
dent Of the association, in part as follows:
1.-THE new foot ball rules are now under
going a crucial test on the gridirons of
our college Fairgrounds. It is too early to
say. perhaps, whether or not they sue
ceeded. It is urged upon all that the new
rules OF play be given a fair trial. This
can only be secured by the students being
required to play under them strictly, and
the officials to inforce impartially the
rules in contests The governing bodies Of
academic institutions should prevent any
evasion Of the playing rules"
The other subjects for discussion mem
toned in the circular follows 1.-THE sum-
mer base ball question is still with us. Is
any practical progress toward the proper
solution Of this problem being made? The
subject Of the amateur law is now being
Investigated in conjunction with the ANA
teur Athletic Research society. From this
study may result practical suggestions
for guidance in the treatment Of this
vexed subject One thing is being accom-
plished, and that Is that attention is being
attracted to this sore spot of intercol-
leRiate athletics. This will finally result
in a betterment Of the deplorable condition
now existing. It is hoped that some dis
tinct steps forward may be taken at the
meeting
The subject OF track athletics-their
proper control, uniform rules for partici-
pants and methods Of preserving records
made-is being considered by the commit
tee Of which Prof. Stage is the chairman
Attention is called TO the very valuable
work done by the basket ball rule COM

enthusiastic motorists ever since leaving
Chicago several days ago.
Mr.. Westgards tour through the state OF
Iowa formed one Of the most interesting
portions Of his trip, and the excellent roads

hostility to the motor car has entirely
passed away and the farmers are now
the strongest advocates of the utility and
comfort of the motor vehicle.
Mr.. Westgard In sending 30 the Touring
club his impressions OF automobiling con-
ditions in Iowa makes the following inter-
esting statements
Motorists unfamiliar with the state
would hardly believe that Iowa is one OF
the lively automobile districts in the eoun-

have machines, and towns OF about 1,500 in
habitants have active automobile clubs

The farmer now appreciates the value Of
good roads as much as the automobile
owner. With good roads. numerous repairs
to wagons, buggies and automobiles are not
necessary, and visits are quickly and COM
fortably made. 30 that neighbors become
better acquainted.
The farmer owning an automobile goes to
the city IN the evening, attends the theater
or visits his city friends and IS home again
IN nearly the same time that It takes the
city man.
To secure good roads for the farmer It il
important that the builders use the best
methods Of construction; the construction
OF county roads viii depend upon the money
and material available. A well built tar
macadam road Is reasonable in cost and
not expensive for maintenance.
The Omaha Gas company recently fur
nished and applied without cost. as a de-
monstration for tar macadam road, No 6

Center street running west from the Inn

substantial surface and there is no doubt
that II county roads are built under this
method they will prove more lasting with
less maintenance cost than heretofore.
Upon examination this section OF tar
macadam road lmpresses one as being well
built and lasting. County Supervisor Avery
deserves credit for the personal attention
given TO building this piece Of road with
the countys force Of men. teams and ma
chinery.
