The Richmond Blues have good
reason to be pleased With their first
season on the gridiron. To be sure.
they were beaten by Frsdsricksburg.
Blues, but the splendid spirit they
displayed made tho rootsrs shower all
kinds Of praise on them.
Norfolk men were Impressed with

"Plucky!" exclaimed Norfolk
rooter: they are the pluckiest bunch
have ever seem
This comment was called forth by
tho fighting game the Richmond
Blues put up against the heavier
Norfolk players Saturday. The Nor
folk boys won 70 to ., but the Rich
mond boys had no reason to be
ashamed OF their defeat. Norfolk
had two men. HodgSon and Feuer-
stein. who have aiready mIde = name

Mary. The former v. p. I. man was
the unanimous choice for fullbAck

Hodgson 10 even better this year

For Richmond Chambers put up q

Deposits ON CYLINDER.


1t IL . common belief among
motorists that the hard carbon resi-
due found in the cylinders and on
the valves II the result OF too great
q quantity Of lubricating OIL. This
10 true to q certain extent. but the
hard deposit may be formed even
when the proper amount Of the best
quality Of oil Is used. 1t has been
found that the nucleus Of this deposit
consists Of the products Of imperfect
combustion. of the mixture. which
collect on the piston head and walls
of the top Of the cylinder in the form
Of a sticky mass. This catches the
dirt and dust from the road as It Is
"breathed" into the motor through
the carbureter. and the resulting COM
pound gradually hardens until a SUI
ficient deposit IL collected to make
a thorough overhauling and valve
grinding necessary. 1t is consequent
ly important not only that the proper
grade and amount Of lubricant should
be used In the cylinder. but the car
bureter should be regulated to de-
liver the proportion OF air and gaso-
line vapor that forms the most per-
feet burning charge for each ex-
plosi6n.

MONETARY BOARD MEETS

The advisability OF permitting ma
tIonal banks to loan money on real es-
tate and authorizing the establishment
Of savings banks departments was un-
der consideration at yesterdays session
Of the Monetary Commission. No par.
ticular opposition to the suggested plan
was manifested, but there was no crys-
tallization Of sentiment.
1t was said that the trust companies
that now, with State and private banks
enjoy a monopoly of loans on real estate
would offer no opposition to the eXten-
sion of such authority to national banks.
During the discussion ii Vas Shown
that in some States the State banks
were practically driving national banks
out of business. In these localities the
deposits of the State banks were larger
than those of national institutions.
This was claimed to be due to more
liberal bank legislation that permitted
them to loan on realty. The Monetary
Commission will report its bill by jan
uary S, the day upon which, by stat
utory limitation, it expires. Members do
not expect to obtain consideration of
the proposed monetary legislation at
this session, but they do look forward
COnfdentially to Congressional action
next year.

ILLS
TOLD BY EXPERT
W. Puckner Reads Treatise
at Local Meeting.

Unsatisfactory results follow the use
of many of the products put upon the
market by manufacturing pharmacists,
according to w. A. Puckner, OF Chi
CaCo, secretary of the council on phar-
macy and chemistry of the American
Medical Association, who read a treatise
on The physician and the pharmacist"
at the annual meeting of the Washington
branch of the American Pharmaceutical
Association held at the National Col
lege of Pharmacy last night.
DR.. PuCkncr said the doubtful charaC-
ter of many of the preparations Of manu-
featuring pharmacists have created a
tendency on the part of physicians to
return to the professional pharmacists
for their supplies of reliable and effective
remedies. This demand, said DR.. Fucker,
can be met by pharmacists by applying
their art to the production OF prepara-
tions of a higher degree of efficiency.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows: Lewis Flemer, president; Lyman
L. Kebler, first vice president; II. E.
Kalusowski. second vice president:
Henry B. Lloyd. secretary and member
Of council: w. H. Bradbury. treasurer;
Herbert c. Easterday, committee on
membership; Willard s. Richardson,
committee on legislation: Frank c.
Henry, committee on medical relations;

uons, and Martin I. Wilbert publicity.

APPEALS FOR LOWER
FARES In VIRGINIA
Attorney to Present Case to
the [. C. c.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
will grant hearing tomorrow morning
on the question of reducing the alleged
excessive rates OF the Washington-Vir-
ginia Railway between Washington and
Mount Vernon, Fairfax, and Alexandria.
The commission will also be asked to is
sue an order compelling the railway COM
pany to offer special rates to Virginia
children attending school in the District.
In order to impress upon the commits
sion the need of rducIng the rates for
the purpose of encouraging education
among the large number of children in
Virginia who come to Washington to at
tend school, Attorney Frederick r. Whip
railway. is collecting statistics on the
school in Washington. To aid in this
task, Attorney Whippler requests all chill
dren to send their names to his office,
2S1 Woodward Building.
The testimony which the commission
will hear will be in the case of DR.. ]. H
Bitter and others against the railway
company. Mr.. Whippler will request that
the scent fare now charged between the
Highway Bridge and Twelfth street be
eliminated; that the rates from Washing
ton to Mount Vernon, Fairfax, Alexan-
dria, and intermediate points be reduced
and that school rates be offered to school
children under twenty-one years of age
At present a half-rate fare is offered to
school children between the ages of five
and twelve years. The proposed school
rate is much less than the half rate.

"COP" WAS INSANE
WHEN HE RESIGNED
Wife Says So, and Asks for
a Pension.

The District Commissioners were made
defendants in a mandamus suit filed yes
terday by Mae G. Carlson, committee
of Carl a. Carlson lunatic. The petition
alleges that Carlson was member of the
consecutive years. during which time he
became insane and was committed TO the
Government Hospital for the Insane by
the District Supreme Court Carlson
was ordered by the Commissioners on
September 16, 1910, to submit to the su-
perintendent of police his resignation, to
become effective if he was again charged
with being intoxicated, he having been
tried for intOXication and found guilty
prior to September 10, 1910, discharged
being the penalty imposed in the case
May Is, 1911, he was again charged with
being intoxicated, and July l3 last. twen-
ty-five days after he had become insane,
the Commissioners accepted his resigna-
tion. and dropped him from the rolls
1t Is alleged that he was insane when
he rendered his resignation, and there
fore incapable of legally doing so. 1t is
also alleged that he had served more than
htteen years as a member OF the police
force, thereby emitting him to a pension
irrespective Of whether he was disabled
in the line of duly or not. The Commits
sioners denied the application of the
LOi a pehslon LOT CdTiSSOn'
stating his disability was not incurred in
line of duty.
Justice Stafford signed a rule to show
cause on or before January ;, 1912. why
a writ of mandamus should not be IS
sued against the Commissioners requiring
them to grant his pension. J. T Money
and w. E. Ambrose are the attorneys
for the petitioner. This is the first case
on record where it is contended that a
policeman after serving fifteen years and
becoming disabled is entitled to pension.

YALE WELL KNOWN

ing spirits of modern college education
in China, according to DR.. Z. H. Hume,
head of the medical department of Yale
College of China, at Changsha, province
of Human, who gave an illustrated talk
at a smoker of the Yale Alumni Associa-
ton at the Playhouse last night. His
theme was "Present-day conditions IN
China and his most interesting pictures
were those of rebel soldiers of the Celes-
tial kingdom wearing white sashes, the
sign of rebellion.
He said Yale is better known in China
than any other American college, and
that its work in the field of education is
bearing splendid fruit. DR.. Hume pre-
dicted a wonderful future for China, and
contended that Yale would be one of the
great factors in bringing about this con-
dition.
