The Skepticism Of Posterity.

There Is one very large, very sad
and very certain truth about oil the re-
lations of past and future That truth
Is this-the future will not believe us
Ii will not believe our most solemn and
profound assertions II will ratiOnalize
them or ridicule them. In one way or
another 1t will explain them away. for
that Is the most certain thing about the
attitude OF men toward their remote
ancestors. They will believe the testi
mony Of material things or of their own
conjectures, but never the sworn worG
OF their fathers Were IL not So there
would be no room for historical crit
cism or perhaps for history as a sci

The sweet potato seems to have
emigrated from China via the Loo

centuries ago Aoki Konyo recommend

sweet potato all over the empire. In

there now stands over Aokfs grave a
monument with this unique inscrip-
ton, "The potato professor"
One of the distinguishing features
of Tokyo is the sweet potato bakeries.
where, during the colder months. hot
potatoes prove godsend to many.
Around these potato shops the poorer
children crowd with their coppers,

there are but three things the Japa-
nese woman really loves-pumpkin,
theater going and sweet potato.
At present there are more than 1000
potato ovens In Tokyo. and the sale OF
roast potatoes annually totals more
than 100000 yen In no country in
the world can the poor people get pure.

tet to the Carnival in
Philadelphia.

Coach Weber Of the Catholic University
track squad is sending his charges
through hard daily workouts in prepara-
ton for the Pennsylvania games this
month. The Red and Black is to send a
relay four to the games, and If past per-
formances can be taken for any thing, 1t
can be assured the university is to be
represented by a creditable team. The
relay four made good showing in the
indoor meets this past winter, and Coach
Weber is working hard with his men to
enable them to repeat in the outdoor
games this spring. There are fifteen men
who are training hard in hopes of getting
one Of the four positions on the team to
run this month.

four-forty. and he is being depended
upon to run the race as lead-off man.
During the winter meets he held this
place on the team and on every occasion
held a good lead when he gave up the
race to the next runner Daley is another
regular who is showing to advantage
this spring and is apparently in better
form than at any time last winter. Capt.
McManus has not yet started outdoor
work. as he has been too busy with his
university work to devote the necessary
time to it. He is expected to join the
squad tomorrow and is expected to show
more boy. is fit now and is looked upon
as probable man to make the team.
Hyde, who did such good work for the
team during the winter, will not join the
squad this spring, and without his serv-
ices the team Is somewhat weakened, but
coach Weber is confident Of developing
a man to take his place.
Coach Weber is very much pleased
with the outlook of the squad and pre-
diets a good season.
