served, and iron smelters are pur- chasing the bulk of their iron ores abroad.
 FRANCE
 The principal iron-mining districts in France consist of a continuation Of the Lorraine deposts of Germany and Belgium. The ores are largely oolitlc and occur in beds in JufaSsic states, sandstones and schists.
 SPAIN
 The northern provinces of Spain, especially ViZSaya, are very rich in iron ores. The port of Bilbao is al- most entirely dependent on the export business in iron ore. British iron smelters depend upon Spanish mines for a large percentage of their ores. There is no need for peSsimiSm re- garding the outlook for the world s iron resources. The known deposits, as is clearly shown in the above cur sorry review, are ample for all re- Quirements for many centuries, and only small proportion of the known iron deposits have been developed. It is; probable there will never be a scarcity of iron ores. By the time the rich ores are worked out, improve ments in metailurgy will have made it possible to work very inferior ores, which are now quite worthless, but which are known to occur in enor- nous quantities throughout the world -Dr. Arthur Selwyn-Brown in The Engineering Magazine for Novem- ha1.

TOURING AND CAMPING
 THE IDEAL VACATION

The recent summer season saw more people than ever before enjoy ing the delights of touring. A large number of business men have come to consider touring as an ideal vaca- ton. It gives the tired business man just what he requires, plenty of good fresh air, enough action to stir up the blood without overdoing it, while the constantly changing scenery takes his mind away from business cares.
 One of the most interesting tours which has come to our notice this year is that made by MT. W. M. Left wich, prominent engineer of Nash vile, Tenn. MT. Leftwich is an ex- perienced motoriSt and this season he decided to make his tour a "gO-as- you please" affair, not planning to reach a given point each night. In order to accomplish this he carried sleeping bags for the party of seven, and also included a compact cooking outfit. His big six cylinder Locomo- bile afforded ample room for this equipment.
 The route led from Nashville Tenn, through Kentucky, Ohio, New York and New England, into Canada, which was entered twice on the trip, Que bee being the first place visited, and later on the party toured in quaint old Nova Scotia. No real difficulties. were encountered on the tour, which was made in leisurely fashion. Sev- eral stops were made at hotels when they happened to be nvenient, but the real enjoyment came when the tents were pitched for the night, the fire started and supper prepared over the camp fire under the open sky.
 TAe tour covered over 5000 miles and required more than two months to complete. The party consisted of MT. Leftwich, MT. and Mrs. Sinclair their three children, Marion, Hunter and William, and Miss Marie Cobbs Every member of the party enjoyed the most perfect health ti1roughou, the trip

Harvard Expects
 To Beat Princeton
Betting 10 to 7 in Favor of Crimson on TomOrrOW'S Game in Jung.e-
 town

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 3-That the Harvard following has some req son to feel their team can down the Tiger was demonstrated in the prac- tice yesterday afternoon. The squad was out only an hour, but made good use of its time. The varsity went at 1t hammer and tongs against the sec ond eleven ans scored three touch downs in 25 minutes of scrimmage.
 The regulars had no trouble in spelling the delays of their opponents, who were provided with the Prince ton formation, while when on the of- fense they applied all sorts of forma- tons known to both new and old football, with the best of results. With the varsity first in possession of the pigskin on the 25-yard line, it was but matter of minutes to shove over the first touchdown by a varied series of line attacks.
 Then the ball was given to the second varsity on the 25-yard line, but they could not budge the opposi- ton and were forced to punt. Soon afterward Wendell broke into. the scoring column, breaking through on skin tackle play at midfeld and running flfty-five yards for touch again at quarterback in Potter's place. ran his team excellently, and one of his forward passes to Smith made possible the third and last touchdown.
 Potter was in uniform and follow ed the plays from the side lines The lineup yesterday. which is looked up- on to be the same that will face Princeton, with the possible substitu- tion of Potter for Gardner at quarter back, was: Smith, left end; Hitch cock, left tackle; Leslie, left guard; Storer, centre; Fisher, right guard: /: Gardiner, right tackle; O'Brien, right end; Gardner, quarterback; Camp bell, left halfback; Wendell, right halfback; Huntington, fullback. In betting circles here and in Bos- ton odds of 10 to 71s and 10 to '. with Harvard the favorite. prevail. Bank rolls galore will be taken to tbe lair of the Tiger today and every bit of Nassau coin in sight will be eager ly grabbed up

JOHNNY MATO BEATS
 JIM BONNER IN NINTH

Johnny Marto wore down and de- feated Jim Bonner, the Pennsylvania lightweight celebrity, after ten stren- uous rounds in the windup before inc National Sporting Club, New York last night. The stamina of Marto told favorahly against the speed of his rival The final bell found Bon ner almost down and out from sheer exhaustion. In .fact, he sank down on his launches just as the gong changed.
 Marto is a rugged old war horse. Bonner is a tall, rangy lad. Marto carries the wallop and the ability to assimilate great punishment. Bon ner has no kick in either land nor the recuperative power to carry him through such a slugfest as Marto made the mill. Marto kept playing away wickedly with both hands and directed his main attack against the body. Particularly did he devote his attention to an effective bombardment of his opponents kidneys. The fusil Jade so weakened Bonner that in the ninth round he dropped before crushing right to this sore spot. He would probably have taken the count had the bell not kindly interposed.

Sprinkle salt on the bottom of the oven and your cakes will not burn.
 Kerosene will remove grease from set bowls and porcelain lined sinks. Dried lemon peel sprinkled over coals will destroy any disagreeable odor about the house.
 A great many blemishes may be re- moved from wall paper with the rub Der on a lead pencil.
 Honey should be stored in a dark place. for if it is kept in the light it will soon granulate.
 If a wooden chopipng bowl is turn ed upside down after use there will be no danger of it splitting.
 To clean white paint, dip a clean cloth in hot water, then in bran and rub it. Rinse with clear water.
 Never buy meat that is palish pink, for it is diseased. Good meat is. red. with the fat clear white and firm.
 Bacon fat may be saved and used to fry fish. It gives a good flavor and keeps the fish from falling apart.
 Wooden tubs should be used for washing glass and delicate china, as there is far les danger of breakage.

VENESS WOULD HAVE NEWMAN AS
 HIS SUCCESSOR
But He Isn't. Going to Re
 sign at Once As Member of the Board of Education

Alfred E.. Veness' successor in the board of education may be Christian M. Newman, we'll known patent at torney, prominent in Firth district Democratic politics.
 MT. Veness' resignation as a mem Der of the board of education is not likely to be forthcoming very soon, however, for though he plans to as- sume new duties in Chicago, Jan. 1, he expects to devote much of his time to Bridgeport and to retain his residence here for a time.
 It is known that MT Newman is MT. Veness' personal choice as his successor in the board of education. MT. Veness is a Fifth district resi- dent, living at 613 Laurel avenue, and MT. Newman is a resident of the same street. MT. Veness believes that if he resigns his successor should come from, the Fifth district.
 Alderman R. G. DeForest, of the Fourth district, is prominently men toned for the board There is question as to whether he can hold both positions legally, and it is not likely that he will resign his seat in the Common Council for the board of education. The city attorney has not been consulted in the matter as yet.
 The death of Thomas H. Macdon- ald vice president of the board of education, will necessitate the elec- ton of Republican to succeed him. w., B. Boardman is mentioned.

No New Years Eve Celebration In
 Hartford Hotels
Because Event Falls on Sun- day Capitol City Boni- faces Will Close Their Dining Rooms-Stratfield Will Be Open As Usual.
Especial to The Farmer.

Special to The Farmer.)
 Hartford, Dec. 6-Hartford folks who want to sit up to welcome the birth Of 1912 will have to do it elsewhere than at Hartford hotels. At con. ference held yesterday, William Tee of the Heublein, Walter s. Garde of the Garde Hotel and John J. Dahill of the Allyn House decided that as New Years eve comes Sunday night it would not be appropriate to keep their dining rooms open for scenes of ga1ety. The dining rooms at these hotels VIII close at il o'clock, as is usual on Sun day nights. In years past New Years eve has taken on gala aspect at Hartford hotels, but though their decision to close may be a dtsappoint- ment to some, the hotel men feel that it will meet with the approval of nearly all their guests and the citizens of Hartford generally. .
 Manager Griswold Of the Stratfield expects to keep open the dining room of his hotel as has been the custom since the opening of the hotel. Res ervations for tables will be received Christmas week.
