Hymn Of the West Nirginians," the
state song written by Colonel Ed
wards. A trained chorus of more
than a hundred voices led this inspir-
ing singing. The state militia fired
salute as the statue was unveiled and
this brought light to the eyes of the
hundreds of Grand Army men who
were prominent in the days program
The gift of the statue to the Grand
Army of the Republic and Women's
Relief corps was then formally made
by Colonel Edwards in short but
decidedly entertaining address. He
said:

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 10-Be-
meath sunny skies the ceremonies Of
the unVeiling Of the magnificent
statue Of the typical West Virginia
soldler here at the capitol grounds
this afternoon took place. The statue,
which is In bronze, is the work Of the
celebrated sculptor, Henry K. Bush
Brown Of Washington, and is the gift
of Colonel William Seymour Edwards
OF Charleston to the state. Rev. Carl
&C. Doney, president Of West Virginia
Wesleyan college delivered the invo-
cation, after which the statue was un-
veiled by Master William Seymour
Christensen Edwards Of Coalburgh.
The flag fell slowly away from the

most critical persons have nothing
but praise for the statue

HAS A PLAN
TO PR0LONG LIFE

PARIS. France. June a.. - Prof
Metchnikon OF the pasteur institute
has explained TO the Academy Of
Sciences that the FIRST step has been
taken toward tle proloncation OF hui
man life, subject to which he has
devoted years Of study He believes
that he has proved that old age is
chiefly caused by two poisons, phe.
mol and indol, which are generated
in the intestines, inducing such dis
eases as arterial sclerosis, cirrh5as
OF the liver and interstitial nephri-
tbs.
The professor has also found that
these poisors are null ifieo by sugar
and hence the task before him was
to find a bacillus capable of living
in the human intestnes and pro
ducing in them At last he believes
that he has succeeded The "bacil-
lus glycobacter," cultures of which
he has obtained in the intestines of
dogs, is the tiny organism wherein
the hopes of mans longevity are at
present centered.
Experiments have been made both
on rats and human beings with eX-
cellent results. Prof Metchnikoff is
therefore confident that he will be
able ultimately to transform the intes-
final secretions from their normally
noxious condition into state of
beneficial usefulness which may add
years to the life Of man.

INTERESTING BITS.

1t is contended by P,of. Boas Of
Columbia that the skulls Of immi-
grants to this country are changed in
shape by the second generation. This
idea is now attacked in many quar-
tiers, one scientist insisting that under
this theory the children would not
inherit even acquired characteristics
they would acquire them-and Prof,
Boas' notion that they tend toward a
single fixed type is cOntradicted by
the fact that in America there is no
fixed type among the native born of
many generations.

Captain BiIIsborough Tells How it Feels
to Ride in Tech, Jr., Fastest Motor Boat

considered by itself, ever equalled
the Tech" Probably though a
bucking horse, with the high seas to
help it, could. Still, it wouldn't be
going so fast. You see, don't want
to be too positive.
Passing over the bucking horse, the
high sea and the iron bubble. the
Tech still has a few points in the
lead. One funny thing about it is
that the rudder Is under the bow in
stead OF at the stern When you're
under full speed. and planning" this
cause the forward part Of the boat is
down and the rudder hits the water
once in a while. This is a great ad-
vantage, because II allows you to
steer. When you first start out,
though, the boat jumps up in the air
like a shoot-the-chutes schooner
that's the third comparison | was try
ing to think of-and the rudder goes
with IT, If You ever tried to steer a
boat without a rudder you know what
a hard business IL is. of course it's
that much harder if she's going fifty
oddmiles an hour .Shll, there's
nothing TO do except sit tight and
wait until she begins planning
Sometimes she settles down to bust
ness in the first ten yards; and. again,
sometimes she doesn't When she
doesn't, she goes around in circles.
You go around with her until you get
dizzy; then you shut off power and
try again.
This sounds simple. but it has its
disadvantages Being a flying machine
instead of a boat the Tech" natur-
ally goes fastest in choppy sea. She
likes to hit the nigh places Now
il YOU start in choppy sea with your
rudder in the air, it's pretty hard to
have il adjusted at right angles with
the next wave at the time of, course
when the Tech" gets tired of stand
ing on her hind legs and begins To
plane II you haven't got II adjust
ed right the Tech" tries to tip over
So you do your best and trust 10 in
stinct I've found that It usually
wins.
There are a few other points. The
Techs" engine develops $50 horse
power and weighs about as much as
one horse. She stands on a half
inch reinforced bottom. When the
Tech" is going at high speed that

a cracker-iack engineer, Arthur
Booye. He knows enough TO slow
down when there's a big wave COM
ing If he didn't we'd hit the. wave
so hard that likely enough the engine
would go right through the bottom
a whole lot depends on your engi-
neer
To give you an Sdea of the way a
mile-a-minute boat pounds the water
When | first tried the Tech out

AFTER THE GAME

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Oct 15-The Della
ware College football team reported
in good shape for practice yesterday.
None of the men have any complaints
outside of bruised muscles and sore
shoulders. As usual on Monday
nights the coach only ran the Var
sity through signals. This lasted for
over an hour; consequently the men
had a good chance to timber up after
Sundays rest. Coach MacAvoy gave
out a few new plays which he hopes
will improve the offensive work OF
the team. He also gave careful at
tention to the defensive work of the
back field and ends. The whole team
was given a hard drill in the two
methods of getting a man out of a
play To give the Varsity practice in
this line of work, the coach lined the
scrub backfield up against the Var
sity and put them through some stir
ring formations. The Varsity showed
great improvement and charged the
Scrubs with a dash and vim which
characterized their work on Saturday.
Coach MacAvoy is giving quite a
good deal of attention to the develop
niGAt VI tAAC AQA v al u Huoc wi AhoNi'AAos
Every night he is having the back
field and ends work together for
twenty minutes on passing and re-
ceiving the ball
Although Coach MscAvoy was dis
appointed that Delaware did not win
on Saturday he is fairly we'll satisfied
with the work of the team. He nsed
the same lineup last night as he used
to start the game on Saturday. Cam
who played such a star game on
Saturday will probably play at half
back from now on. There will be
thirty minutes Of hard scrimmage to-
morrow night. as the coach is anx-
! ious to win from Washington College
at Chestertown next Saturday
Manager Walker has not been able
to get a game to take the place OF
the one with Gallaudet on November
16 which they cancelled. The next
home game will be with Muhlenberl
