OFF THE LIMIT
ON POSTAL DEPOSITS

Washington, Dec. 22.-The bill to re-
move the. limitation on the amount OF
that may be accepted from de-
positors In the postal savings bank has
passed the House. The bill allows I'M
limited deposits, but mentions $1,000 as
the gross amount on which interest
may be paid. The present law fixes
500 al the limit to be deposited in
any calendar month, and no account
may exceed $500. ,
In discussing the bill Representative
Madden. Of Chicago, q republican, con-
graduated the postmaster general and
the postoffice committee on the bill,
saying that it is an insurance against
financial disturbance. . ~
For example," he said, "in the case
of the United States Trust company,
a few days ago, when we had a run q
great many of the people swho drew
their money from the United States
Trust company offered to deposit II
with the postoffice authorities right
here in Washington. What would have
become Of that If it had been deposited
with the ~postoffice authorities? II
would have gone back into the com
mercial life Of h nation by being re-
deposited in the banks. So as a mat
ter of fact, If people withdraw their
money from the banks and place 1t
with the government the government
can again %redeposit that none with
the banks and thus establish the con
dition that ought to have prevailed be-
fore the want OF confidence arose that
induced the people to draw their money
from the banks. This bill will, without
doubt, not only make for the certainty
of the operation Of this postal savings
bank institution along lines that will
not only prevent loss, but will just as
certainly show in the next report OF the
postmaster general a profit to the
credit of the account of the postal say
ings bank under the direction OF the
postoffice department"

BANDITS FLEE, LEAVING
THEIR CAPITAL BEHIND

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 22.-The Bank
OF Ottawa of this city Is $40 richer as
by two armed bandits today.
Shortly after the Robson street
branch Of the bank opened, two young
men presented themselves at the teller's
window and asked for change for a $40
bill. As the teller reached for his cash,
the men drew revolvers and COM
menced shooting. The teller dropped
behind the counter until business men
in the neighborhood. hearing the re-
ports. rushed in and frightened the
wouid-be robbers away. They had
failed to reach the bills on the counter
and in their hasty departure they left
their working capital behind. A heavy
fog aided their escape.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Dec. 13-The last chapter
of the football history of 1913 has been
written. Walter Camp. the grand old
man" of American football and the
greatest expert on the game in the coun-
try today, has made his All-America Sc
lection, and nothing more remains to be
said on the subject. The article in which
Camp selects the representative eleven
will appear in Golfers for December o.
This year. Camp, who is head of the
advisory committee on football, at Yale,
has distributed his favors with prodigal-
ity, nine different schools being repre-
scented on his first eleven. He has Sc
lected two men from the West, Des
Jardien, Of Chicago, for center. and Craig,
of Michigan, for half back. The only
college having more than one man on the
team is Harvard. which is represented by
Brickley at half back, Mahan at full back.
and Pennock at guard, while Yale has
but one man, Talbot at tackle. Also this
year a minor college is represented on
the first team,Iby Huntington, of Colgate.
at the quarter lack position.
MerriIat on End.
Hogsett, of Dartmouth, and Merrilat.
OF the Army, drew the first selection for
the ends, while Ballin. of Princeton.
filled in at the other tackle position, and
Brown, of the Navy. was made first
choice for right guard.
In reviewing his first team selections
Camp first takes up the ends. of Hog
sett, he says:
Although perhaps regarded as small
for the position of end, he demonstrated
thoroughly his ability to discount criti-
cism of that kind. He was wonderfully
fast down the field, a clever tackler.
quick to size up the situation. and a
first class man on attack. His former
experience as a half back made him
doubly serviceable in interference and
rounded out his play into a complete
product of gridiron skill. He is a good
receiver of passes, and quick and ac-
curate in diagnosing a play"
Discussing Merilat he says: He is
strong, fast and has an excellent intui-
ton. He is early down the field under
kicks, a good runner with the ball, a
hard, sharp tackler, and has enough
weight to be effective in blocking on the
line as well as in meeting interference
Then he is the star of the year in his
handling of the receiving end of the for
ward pass, as his great work in the Navy
game showed when he made two touch
downs by this route"

Original Winner Of Famous
Yachting Trophy May
Cruise Over the Course at
Coming Classic.

Boston. Dec. 1a-Sixty-two years ago
last August the schooner yacht America
won the famous trophy bearing her name
in a race round the Isle of Wight, seven
teen vessels competing.
The America, now practically forgotten,
is to be sailed round the course when the
Shamrock " battles the defender of
Sandy Hook next fall.
This sensational statement was made
here in a gathering of yachtsmen. The
Hon. Butler Ames, owner of the schooner,
will, it is expected, loan the old war
horse for a spectacle that should attract
a multitude of yachtsmen.
The yacht can be placed in trim at
small outlay of time and money, it is be-
Iieved. A sailing master and crew may
be secured without much difficulty for the
series that is to settle the destiny Of the
blue ribbon trophy of the sea-for a year,
at least.

WAYS characterize a runner who is to
be successful in this line. He is also
very cool and will wait for the tackler
TO almost reach him and then slip him.
His accuracy in punting is also an add
ed quality and he can get of quick
kick from short distance from behind
his line. placing it with certainty and
dispatch.
Craig n Star.
Craig, Of Michigan, came in to his
own with a vengeance, and would fill
out this back field In ideal fashion.
Brickley and Mahan are both inclined TO
take the shortest distance TO the point
they wish to reach. while Craig is rather
more facile at slipping the would-be
tackler and finding an opening. He was
the man who brought his team from a
very mediocre beginning to fruition of
a complete success for Yost.'
In comparing Camps first eleven with
the All-American selections made by
other writer's. such as Monty" Tom
Thorpe. the Columbia man. who made
the AIl-American eleven in 1900. and
Frank G. Menke, We find that Menke Sc
lected the same men for ends. as were
chosen by Camp. Merrilat and Hogsett.
Thorpe picked O'Brien, of Harvard. and
Avery, of Yale. while Monty chose
Wagner, OF Pittsburgh, and Fritz, of
Cornell.
For the tackle positions Monty" and
Thorpe agree with Camp on Ballin as
enc selection, while Monty chooses
Butler, of Wisconsin. and Thorpe chooses
Pontius. of Michigan. as does also Menke
instead OF Camps selection OF Talbot

cally the same, so far as her under
water body is concerned, as when in 1851
she swept over a course of fifty-three
nautical miles and easily established her
supremacy. The craft has been twice
rebuilt, however. In 1885 she received ex-
tensive repairs. Later. after, she was
taken to Charleston Navy Yard and
overhauled- Again, under supervision OF
Edward Burgess, alterations were made
at an East Boston yard, where the ends
were changed and the excessive rake of
masts was corrected. ....
These changes may not materially af-
feet the original form, but opinion may
diner In yachting circles, on that impor-
tant matter. Men who desire the Amer
lea as an attraction in the 1914 contest arc
willing to restore the masts, provide a

far as possible bring out an America
that closely duplicates the original.
