From a reliable source last night it was
learned that the management Of the Ma

owners TO sell the land outright This the
owners were perfectly willing to do. and
submitted as their figures the sum of

exorbitant. and would not entertain 1t for

The University of Virginia's decision
not to enter its relay team in the George
Washington indoor meet here Saturday
night against Cornell and Swarthmore
caused a sudden switch in the plans of
Manager Eaton, who closed negotiations
last night with the Virginia track man
agement to run their second team, which
is but a few seconds slower than the
varsity, thus giving the crowd two crack
erjack relay events instead of the one.
The Charlottesville collegians made the
claim that the track was too small for

mains that in the Georgetown games last

one Of the most interesting relay races
on the programme of the Federal indoor
games in Convention Hall two weeks
from next Saturday night will be between
Mercersburg Academy and the Episcopal
High School of Alexandria.
Two weeks ago A. G. Kraenzlein. the
old hurdle champion and coach Of the
Mercersberg track team. wrote the Fed
eral games management asking that his
relay team be matched preferably with
the Central High School or Baltimore
City College. Both these teams declined
to run against the boys from Southern
Pennsylvania. When it was found that.
on account of injuries, the Woodberry
Forest Schools first team would not be
able TO run against Episcopal High for
the Virginia championship. the latter
school accepted Mercersberg's challenge
It will be the first time these two
schools have ever met in a relay race
Episcopal High has an unusually strong
fast quartet this year, and the Mer-
Cersberg runners are not slow.
There VIII be three relay teams in the
Federal games from the Friends School.
at least two teams from Business High,
one from Eastern High. one from the
Army and Navy Props, two from the
Cathedral School for Boys, probably two
from the Washington School for Boys.

NOTES AND GOSSIP

Because Of the legal contest which has
been waged between the EMF. Com
pany and the Studebaker Automopiie
Company, the public has been led to be-
lieve that the big EMF. plants III
Detroit were closed down. This report
is emphatically denied by President ana
General Manager Flanders. who was IN
New York last week
''Not only are we not closed or runnins
short force, but We have not shut
down our factory at any time" said
Mr.. Flanders. 'For three days early In
December We were prevented by a tenn
porary restraining order. from shipping
cars. but the courts have all along re-
fused TO tie up the factories or TO inter-
fere in the slightest with their operation
Since the restraining order was dissolved
We have sold over 1900 cars to dealers
amounting to S4.OO0OO0. We are now
turning out EMF go cars at the
rate Of 50 per day or 1850 per month-in

Not even the most experienced motor
car salesman could make list of all
the matters that go 20 influence the
buyer of a car in making his choice
However, there are some matters that
almost every buyer in interested in, and
one of these is how does this car rank
In its home terTitory2'
To the buyer this question serves to
cover a mass Of information. The man
who lives at a distance from the city
where car is manufactured is con-
cerned principally with how the car will
stand up and how far the company and
the dealer will go in backing 1t up. But
the man living in or near the city where
the car is made has a more intimate
knowledge Of conditions.
Recently a list of the licenses granted
IN Western New York for period OF a
little over two years was compiled. 1t
showed that Of the cars Of approximately
the same price $50 cars Of six makes had
been given numbers by the State. OF
this number $50. or 49, per cent. were

Prof. Hugo Munsterberg's plan for
detecting criminals by psychological
tests was demonstrated at Radcliffe
College, and three girls who were vol
unteer subjects were forced to admit
that their minds, or rather their actions
were read by the psychologist. Pro-
fessor Munsterberg told the class that
he had several clippings from a morn
ing paper on everyday subjects. The
three girls drew clipping apiece.
''The professor announced after each
girl had read her clipping that after
he had put fifty words to each girl he
would be able to tell which clipping each
had in their possession.
THE condition he imposed was that
when he said word the girl spoken to
should say some other word brought to
her mind.
Professor Munsterberg asked each
girl to try to deceive him as to which
clipping she had, just as a criminal
would try to mislead him in trying tc
detect what crime he had committed.
Professor Musterberg shot the words
at random at the first girl and she ans
wered back as quickly with any word
that came into her head. When word
connected with the clipping she had ir
her possession was given, however,
there was a significant pause, for, as
was explained later, the first thought in
the girls mind was of her clipping.
Before she had time to think of some
word to mislead the inquisitor there
was pause of sufficient length to en-
able Professor Munsterberg to easily
determine which clipping she had. "

COLLEGE LOSES.
Defeated in Seven Inning Game.
S to a.

Manhattan college added another
victory to its long string when it de-
feated Middlebury college on the local
grounds Tuesday afternoon by the score
of to four. Stilson, who was in the
box for Middlebury, outpitched Archer
of the visiting team, striking out ten
men and had he proper support the
home team would have won.
For three innings the playing of both
teams was of the professional variety
but in the fourth Connolly of Manhatten
got a hit, was sacrificed to second and
scored on errors. Holahan reached first
on fielder's choice and scored on Black
more's three sacker. Manhattan got
one more in the fifth.
In the sixth the locals started their
scoring. With one out Stilson walked,
went to third on Barney's single and
both men scored on Fishers timely
triple. Fisher scored on Coleman S
grasser which Blackmore could not
handle. This put the locals one run
ahead, but in the seventh two hits and
two costly errors gave the New York
ers the lead again and Middlebury fail
ed to score in their half
The game was called by agreement
at the end of the seventh to allow Man
hatten to catch the train for Burling-
ton. The score:

Like Finding Money.

like finding money for they are selling a
regular 80 cent bottle of DR.. Howard's
celebrated specific for the cure of const-
patton and dyspepsia at half price In
addition to this large discount they agree
to return the money to any purchaser
whom the specific does not cure.
1t is only recently through the solicita-
ton of Druggists II. b. Dutton Co., that
this medicine could be bought for less
than fifty cents. They urged the pro-
prietors to allow them to sell it at this re-
duced price for little while, agreeing to
sell a certain amount.
An, one who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach, specks
before the eyes. or any liver trouble,
should take advantage of this opportun.
ity, for DIR. Towards specific will cure
all these troubles. But If by any chance
1t should not, ii. B. Dutton Co., will re-
turn your money.

After three years ministry, the Rev.
Frank Ward, chaplain of the Cleve-

that all his efforts to reform the city's
prisoners were futile. Mr. Ward declar-
ed that he had lost courage when he saw
his charges come back again and again
after they had made fervent protesta-
tons of reformation and desire to leac
better life. 81 feel', he said, that il
is best that man should take up the
work who has more belief in the good
ness of men than l." The Reverend
Ward has evidently lost his courage, but
he may console himself with the fact
that he who undertakes the job of con
verting all the inmates of workhouse

hope that he will be more successful il

The Morrisville Messenger of last
week had this short editorial note:
THE last issue of the Newport Express
contained full page advertisement of
the village of West Derby. 1t was
real estate agent who paid for it but
the idea is a good one and will do more
for that enterprising village than any
one thing. Every reader of the Ex-
press will know that West Derby is on
the map and what its attractions are.
1t is worth double the cost of the adj
vertisement both to the village and the
advertiser. Other villages, this for
instances, might well profit by this
good example" This also applies to
all the towns in Addison County.
