TO the general prosperity of Washing

States, unlike most other cities, has
no industries that are furnishing a
revenue to it's citizens and for this
reason the question of maintenance
naturally arises. Many towns are kept
in fourishing condition by the in

working in mills, factories and vari-
Gus other forms of manufacturing in

source of this nature from which to

STATISTICS OF YALE CREW
Younger Than Formerly
Weight and Height Same.

Yale's rowing authorities have just
issued statistics comparing the var
sity crew candidates of the present
year with those of the last four years.
The present candidates are found to
be slightly younger than those of for
mer years, but to be of about the
same weight and height
In 1907 the average age of the men
reporting as crew candidates was
twenty years five months. In 1908
and 1909 it was twenty-one years and
last year it was twenty-one years two
months. This years records show the
average 20 he twenty years three
months.
The average weight of This years
men is III pounds, the same as last
years. The 1908 and 1909 crew aver
aged 172 and ia, respectively. This
years crew averages three pounds
more than the one of 1907. All the
squads compared averaged more than
six feet in height, with the exception
of the 1907 men, whose average was
five feet eleven and one-half inches.
The average this year is six feet,
while In 1908 it was six feet one-half
inch and six feet one-half inch in
1909 and 1910.

Army of Clerks Support Washington

height of the season is on they lend
an atmosphere of hustling prosperity
to the town, but when the warm
months come around they leave town
with filled purses and spend their
bulky sum at the seashore and noun
tain resorts. The busy clerks stick to
their posts in all kinds of weather
and all through the year and when the
gloom settles down after the big guns
are gone the government clerk is the
only hope of the merchant and the
amusement managers. 1t may seem
strange, but when closely figured out
the humble government clerk is the
mainstay of our capital city.
During the long months when the
congressman and senators are enjoy
ing the luxuries of vacation the clerk
must sweat for his daily bread. Those
humid summer months of Washington
are hard on mans nerves and dis
position and hence the physician and
lawyer are kept from the door of pow
erty. Food, dress and amusement
must be had and this necessity pro-
vides for the well being of still an
other class. In this way the 10000
clerks keep things moving during the
dead season. If the clerks were to
follow the example of the legislators
and go to summer resorts to rest up
for two or three months the capital
city would take on the appearance OF
deserted village, the merchants
would be compelled to close up shop
and grass would begin to appear be-
tween the cracks of the sidewalk.

Victims of Deadly Skill.

It Is not easy for any one but q
hunter to see just how a man can be
shot down for deer. Yet in only
six gears no less than 16 men have
lost their lives in this way In tbs
great Adirondack wilderness. After
having been five, two, and five, re-
spectively, in the three preceding
years, the mortality from this cause
dropped down to nothing in 1908.
In 1909 there was only one death,
but in 1910, despite all the words OF
warning, the figure rose to three. This
is almost half of the deaths from other
hunting casualties all over New York
state during the same period. The
latter were 35 all told, the 1910 rec
ord being 10, or five more than the
top figure of 1907.
The remarkable thing about the
comparison of these total records,
however, Is the fact that the high
Adirondack losses were in the face
of skill, while those in the other class
are to be attributed largely to the
carelessness of inexperienced hunt
ers who were out after rabbits and
birds.

operative insurance against accidents
to workmen engaged in mining.
The forms of old age insurance now
in operation in the European countries
are classified by the commissioner OF
labor as voluntary insurance not sub
sidized by the government, voluntary
insurance receiving government suDsl-
dies, compulsory insurance, and nom
contributory insurance. The investi-
cation revealed That in number OF
European countries funds are found
which provide old age pensions for en-
ployees on the basis of contributions
from both employers and workmen.
Usually the employer requires the
workman to join the fund, SO that as
far as the employee is concerned the
system may be regarded as compul.
sorry.
The three European countries having
national system Of compulsory old
age insurance are Austria, France and
Germany. In each case the law emu
merates the classes of persons subject
to the law. In Austria, the law in
cludes salaried persons only, though
the government is now engaged in
formulating a plan for national sys-
tenn of insurance for workmen. In
France and Germany the law covers
nearly all the population gainfully en-
ployed who are receiving wages or sal
aries, though many Independent per-
sons of small means are included. The
expense of the pension in each of the
three countries is met by payments
from the insured persons and from the

MAROON IN SHARP CRITICISM
Chicago University Is Charged With
PROSECUTING for Students With
Records as Athletes.

Severe criticism of the athletic de-
partment of the University of Chicago
are made by the Daily Maroon, the un-
dergraduate newspaper Of the 1nstitu-
ton, in recent issue.
In addition to charging the univer-
sity with PROSECUTING for students with
records in athletics, the Maroon at
tacks intercollegiate athletics In gen.
eral.
Some of the charges are:
Candidates for the football team are
kept at work so long that they cannot
make even a pretense of studying.
Students enter the university largely
because of the opportunity of exercis'
ing their athletic prowess.
That SO per cent. of the students
take no part in athletics except to
shrek from the bleachers.
That those SO per cent. have an in
sane desire to win and do not honor
any team which fails to come home
with the spoils.
That the remaining one per cent.
which takes part in athletics is physi-
cally injured by the exercise involved.
These things explain, the article
maintains, why college alumni are
not taking the active part in the af-
fairs Of the country they should" and
account for "the commercial and po-
litical dishonesty that furnishes work
for grand juries and the senate COM
mittees and the jailers.
mot even the most enthusiastic sup"
porter of intercollegiate athletics can
assert that it is a genuinely student
activity" the editorial says. ut con-
sists in ensnaring into college by spec
tacular methods students who have al
ready established athletic records In
preparatory schools. Little attempt Ia
made to conceal the fact that these
students enter the university largely
because of the opportunity of exercis-
ing their athletic prowess.
"One per cent. of the student body
specializes in athletics, while the other
SO per cent sits on the bleachers md
gives vent to primitive shrieks.
Athletics is today too much of a
business. It's only object is victory.
Can anybody maintain that athletes
can even make pretense Of studying
when they are kept out on the athletic
field from three o'clock to seven and
eight o'clock at night? Can student
arising from a hastily eaten meal at
$3.50 in the evening be expected to put
forth any serious intellectual effort
when he has been battered around on
the football field for four or five
hours?"

August Hermann, chairman of the
national baseball commission, when
apprised of the betting syndicate that
had been organized to operate on the
games of the National and American
baseball leagues during the coming
season said:
While it is news to me, yet there
is no danger whatever that they can
ruin the national game. While do
not care to divulge the course the COM
mission will pursue in the matter, you
can say positively that this syndicate
will do no business whatever. We can
and will stop it Immediately.
There is no question but what bet
ting and gambling would ruin baseball.
We cannot and will not stand for 1t.

AS soon as it became roised about
that custom had been violated, sena-

precedents. Senator Gallinger was in
the chair. He referred the question
to Henry H. Gilfry, the senate parlia-

discovered that while the senate never
had legislative day of March 4 for
the purpose Of winding up a session Of
