Platinum

 Seventh Century

Many of the finer and more val uable metals were familiar to the an- cients and for many years it was sup posed that platinum which has come 90 generally into use for automobile ignition purposes was a product of the 18th century" said Charles F. Split Gorf of magneto fame. For many years it was supposed that platinum mad first been found when gold ore from the Spanish mines in Darien in 1860 was found to include a white metal possessing properties of what the alchelnists termed noble metals but which could not be identified
 The exportation of this new metal was prohibited by law, and not until 1To0 did it become generally known and experimented with.
 Some time ago German student, examining the contents of a tomb of an Egyptian Queen of the period of the seventh century before Christ, came across a plate which looked like silver; but which proved to be plati- mum obtained by the ancients no doubt from the rich alluvial deposits washed down from the Upper Nile in times of flood. Since then other dis coveries have led to the conclusion that the metal was known to the Egyptians and used"

Make Plans For
 YaIe-Harvard Race
Big Regatta Will Take Place on
 Thames River June 21

New Haven, March 20-Following a conference of Yale-Harvard rowing officials, details for their annual re- gatta on the Thames were last night announced by President Henry Street. of the Yale navy. All the three for mai races of the program have been scheduled for Friday, June 21, the freshman efght-oar event starting the ball at 10:3O o'clock in the morning at the drawbridge near New London and finishing at the navy yard, two miles upstream. Here the varsity fours will start at II o'clock for their tWO-mile dash
 The varsity eights will row the chief race of the day, starting at 5 o'clock in the afternoon at Winthrop's Point and finishing at the drawbridge, four miles below
 A graduates eight-oared race will also be rowed Thursday afternoon for a cup presented by Robert F. Herrick, chairman of the Harvard Rowing committee. This will be rowed about the same time as the freshman four cared race. The fact that the varsity eight four-mile race will be rowed downstream makes it possible for the record of 20 minutes 10 seconds for the course to be broken.

Yale Crew Takes
 Run Every Day
Coach Rodgers Wants Oarsmen
 to Improve Their Wind

A mile and a half run from the crew house to the Yale gymnasium is now a daily stunt for each member of the Yale crew squad, and as most of the men go twice day for work on the harbor each practically runs three miles a day. .
 The reason given for requiring the men to run from the boathouse to the gymnasium is not that of helping their wind! not at all. The blame is put by the coaches on the plumbing of the new Adee memorial boathouse, which, they say, will not allow of shower baths at this time of year. If the men were to ride up in the trolley cars, say the coaches, there would be danger of pneumonia, which must be guarded against at this time of the year. After the men are hard ened up the plumbing at the boat house will be put in shape, and the men will take their baths there.
 There can be said to be no first boat yet, but there are some very promising men. There are thirty eight men on the squad and the aver- age weight is TIA pounds. During the past week James w. Scully, who had planned not to row this spring and who was going out for the track, has been persuaded to come out for the crew, and will probably work his way up into the first boat, where he row ed last year. Scully was tackle on the varsity football team last fall.

 F. W. Morrow also looks good He too, is a college man, coming from Purdue University of Lafayette, Ind, where he was the star pitcher last season. He has no league experience, but Scout Hugh Nichols, who unearth- cd him, speaks highly of his prospects. According to, Nichols speed is Nor rows particular forte. Morrow Is a right handler, twenty-two years of age, and measures six feet two and one half inches in height.
 The Southern Association also yield ed up another pitching recruit to the Brooklyn club. He is Maurice A. Kent. who was developed by the Bir- its league last season. Kent was ob- tained by draft. He pitched twenty two games last season, of which he won fourteen, giving him an average of .636. He is six-footer. He throws left and bats right.
 Brooklyn staff are YingEng and Dent. The former was a member of the To- ledo club of the American Association.

Indian Runner
 Starts Training
Tewanima of Carlisle to Try
 For Olympic Team

Louis Tewanima, the famous long distance Indian runner, now stu dent at the Carlisle Indian School, has started on course of training for the Olympic games under the direction of Physical Director Glenn s. Warner Probably none of the Americans will go abroad more fully equipped than the little Hopi Indian.
 James Thorpe, another Carlisle In- dian student, who made such good showing last year, is getting better as he grows older. A week ago at Pittsburgh, notwithstanding the fact that he was scratch man, he easily captured the dash, hurdles, high jump and shot put. Thorpe will be an ideal candidate for the decathlon in the Olympic events. The only one of the required ten sports to which he has not yet given attention is the throw ing of the javelin. His easy hand ling of the shot, hammer and discus presage success in the untried ancient sport

The soccer-or it may 'be "socker,' since the authorities dis agree as to the spelling-game has made marvellous gains in popularity all over the United States and Cana da in the last year. Americans are red-blooded and like contests that de- velop speed, cleverness and the ele- ment of brain as well as brawn, and they are finding that the imported sport fulflls these demands in an ad- mirable manner. Not very long ago the rules committee, the supreme court of football, issued a recommendation that the colleges adopt and foster the soccer game, and expressed the convic- tion that it is the game of the future and that it will eventually, and prob- ably soon, take the place of the Am erican game of football. From the viewpoint of both player and specta- tor, the soccer contest affords many points of superiority

BROOKLYN CLUB WILL
 HAVE. GOOD PITCHING STAFF

If the Brooklyn club loses the pen nant again this season the blame will not fall on the shoulders of the pitch ing staff. A glance over the hurllne prospects Of the 1912 staff would seem to indicate that the team will be strongly fortified on the firing line this sea son. as it has been in the past.
 Twelve twirlers are signed to wear the Dodger uniform this season. Sev- en of these are veterans, having tast- ed the powder of big league cam paigns for a least a full season. The other five members of the staff are newcomers, but on the records made with their respective teams last sea son they, too, will travel the league circuit for some time to come.
 Of the new men Frank l.. Allen probably comes into the league with the brightest prospects. He was bought frAW the Mobile club of the

EAST vs. WEST TITLE MEET OFFERS SOCCER FANS A TREAT

Announcement that the two crack professional soccer football teams of the United States will clash on Ameri- can League Park field in New York for the championship of America will be hailed with delight by the vast and growing army of soccer fans. The contestants will be the Howard and Bullough eleven of Pawtucket, R. l., and the St. Leos of St. Louis. The former team now claims the title, be- ing the holder of the America cup, emblematic of championship. The St. Leos claim the supremacy among the soccer aggrega tions of the middle west and have captured first honors in ev- cry league series they have entered
 in the last decade. With such a rec ord of victories, the westerners will doubtless give the Pawtucket eleven

SENATE WANTS UNCLE
SAM TO own EXPRESS
Gardner of Maine Introduces Bill
to Take Express Companies
by Government.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-A bill
has been introduced in the United
States senate by Senator Gardner of
Maine authorizing the government to
take over the properties of the ex-
press companies and operate them in
conjunction with the postoffice de-
partment.
The estimated cost of acquiring the
express companies is a trifle over
100000.
The statement has been made that
the parcels post would not bring the
relief desired, as the express COM
panies are paying the railways only
about one-half as much for CARRYING
packages the government would
nave to pay them for carrying it's
packages under the present postal
law, and in order to get the benefit Of
this relatively low railway rate the
express contracts with the railways
should be taken advantage Of
1t was also brought out that the
average express rate in ten foreign
countries amounts to 1925 ton,
while in the United States the average
is $3.50 a ton.

LOCAL PAINTERS GET
HELP OF ORGANIZER
International Union Directs Vice
President Scott to Proceed
to Duluth.

The first fruits Of the effort Of the
Duluth unions to hold a revival here
are about to be realized. Probably
no union in Duluth has suffered so
severely from the open shop crusade
of four years ago more than the
painters.
An appeal for aid to the Brother
hood of Painters and Decorators Of
America was made by the local union
1t asked that an organizer be sent
here to help strengthen the organiza-
ton.
Word came this week from Indian
apolis. the headquarters of the Broth
erhood, that one of the vice presi-
dents, A. E. Scott of Winnipeg, would
be here in the near future and would
remain at the head Of the lakes until
the union was put on it's feet again.
The news was received with great
JOY by the few members of the union
who heard the communication read
at the meeting held last Tuesday
evening. Arrangements are being
made to facilitate the work of Mr..
Scott, and it is expected that great
good will he accomplished through
his visit here.

AMERICAN PEOPLE USED
RECALL 1876 YEARS AGO

The editor Of the Virginia (Minn.)
Enterprise has been doing some de-
living into the early history of the
United States and this is what he
found:
The recall, inculated in the Vir-
GINA city charter and by some de-
clared to be un-American and con-
trary to the constitution of the Unit
ed States, continues to trouble poll
ticians and those who would feed
at the public trough, but has no ter
ror for the common voter whose
only thought is for the betterment of
government, whether it be municipal,
state or national.
THE recall, however, has a pre-
cedent in the annals of American
history which gives it a place in the
arena. One hundred and thirty five
years ago, on the 18th of November,
1777, certain representatives of the
people of thirteen war-worn states
adopted a constitution which they
called the ARTICLES of Confedera-
ton" Article V of this document
reads as follows:
For the convenient management
Of the general interests Of the United
States delegates shall be annually
appointed in such a manner as the
legislature of each state shall di-
rect, to meet in congress on the
first Monday of November in every
year, with power reserved to each
state to recall it's delegates, or any
of them, at any time within the year,
and to send others in their place for
remainder Of the year."
The recall has had place in
American politics since that time, but
the people are just now awaking to
the fact that it is about time to ex-
ercise the principle in many cases;
and the judiciary should not be any
more exempt than are others who
owe their position to the elective
franchise of free people"

STEADY! STEADY!
BY THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE

The enemies of organized labor
feel that they're pulled off big stunt
which will cripple the movement for
long time to come. But: nothing
ever permantly injured cause that
expressed it. The labor movement
cannot be retarded because it is based
upon righteousness and justice.
To the trades unionists I would
frankly say-don't Jose heart at a.
temporary check. he church has
often passed. through similar periods
but each time it came out pi1rer and
stronger. In the main, the labor
movement is on the right track
don't allow anyone to persuade you to
the contrary. If leaders occasionally
prove untrue, and if enemies malign
and SANDER, taking advantage of the
downfall of few, remember the men
in the ranks who have sacrificed and
suffered for the cause which has
meant so much to them: For after
all, this is a peoples movement-it
is made up of the mass of humble
toilers who have come to their pres
ent position because of a bitter ex-
perience.
Stand by the guns. The battle for
the people and by the people has just
begun. Do not allow anybody to be-
fog you, nor to make cloudy the real
issue. Organized labor is rooted and
grounded in a great principle-the
principle of democracy and justice for
all.
1t must be judged not by it's worst
members nor by it's greatest mis-
takes. It has a right to demand that
it's real significance must be judged
by its highest hopes and aspirations,
and by it's strongest characters.
